Kamera Di Gudang Tua
Truk melaju kencang “Vvvrrrrmmm!!!”, truk itu menderu-deru. Dad membanting kemudi ke kanan. “BRUUUKK!!!” suara mobil menabrak pinggir jalan. “Yaaaaaahhhh…… Penyok nih, depannya. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuuu…” tangis Dad. Mobilnya, Oh, Mobil terindahnya,…. Kini, Hancur! Hancur sudah! *diiiihh…. Lebay banget!*. “Kita pulang aja yuk, Dad!” usul Claudine. “Dari pada mati lemas,..” ucap Kak Maureen. Yang dimaksudnya ‘mati lemas’ adalah khawatir mati karena hanya tidak makan malam. “kasakasak, kasak masaureesin rasakusus kasalisi, yasa gasak?” kata Claudine dengan bahasa S. artinya kakak, kak Maureen rakus kali, ya gak?. “Isiyasa, masasasak, gasak masakasan masalasam asajasa bisisasa masatisi…” . jawab Kak Sally Artinya iya, masak, gak makan malam aja bisa mati... . “ya udah, yuyayu.. kita pulang” ajak Mom.
Sampai, deh! “Akhirnya…” kata Kak Sally. Ia langsung mengambil hp dan twitteran. Kalau Kak Maureen, lain lagi. Dia bener-bener boros pulsa. Ia langsung membeli paket internetan 10MB seharga Rp.5000,- . Claudine? Segera ber sms dengan Darrell, Mandy dan juga Pat. “Pat, dirumahnya si ilmuwan gila, kan aku ketemu kamera tua,…………blablablablablabla…” Karena smsnya panjang aku nggak bisa tulis semua. “Ya udah,….blablablablabalablablablablabla…….” balas Pat. Lalu diceritakannya pada yang lain. “Itu kan, rumah ilmuwan gila… barangnya ya gila jugalah…” balas Darrel. Setelah inbox mereka penuh, akhirnya mereka memutuskan besok agar pergi kerumah ilmuwan tua itu.
“Kita masuk aja, yuk!” ajak Pat. “Yuk!” kata Mandy dan Darrell. “A..aaa…ayy..yuuukk!!” kata Claudine. Ia pun masuk, ke ruang tidur dan mencampakkan kamera tua itu. “ MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!” teriak Claudine.
Ia pun kembali ke rumah dengan tenang

Kenapa, sih?” tanya Kak Sally. “Ini.. kan tadi aku pergi ama si Pat, Darrell and Mandy, trus,….. Iiiiihhhh…kakak kok melotot gitu, sih?” tanya Claudine rada kesal. “Um… Cuma penasaran ajah..” jawab Kak Sally. “Ya udah. Trus,…. Blablablablabla…..” kata Claudine menyelesaikan ceritanya.
“Hey! You guys! C’mon! Come down! Dad buy a new car with Mom! Cepetaaaaaaann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” teriak Kak Maureen. “Oh my! Aku harus bawa kamera di Old Crazy Science’s House!!” kata Claudine. ‘Kak, jangan bilang-bilang, ok?’ tanya Claudine ‘ok!’ jawab Kak Sally.*pake telepati nih, ceritanya.*Sa elahh… Kelebayan..* “Coming!!” teriak Kak Sally.

“Dad! Naikkin, dong, kecepatannya! Kita liat, gimana hebatnya mobil kita!” teriak Kak Sally dan Kak Maureen. “Iya, ya. Yuk!” kata Dad. Perlahan-lahan kecepatan mobil pun naik, dari 50, menjadi 55. Lalu 69, dan menjadi 75, lalu 86, meningkat menjadi 95, dan 110!! “Oh my! Jangan Dad! Jangan ngebut!” teriak Mom. “Dad, jangan ngebut, please…” kata Claudine.
Tiba-tiba…..

Fell of the Bed [Dasha's first blog entry]

I’m going to sleepover at my Grandmother’s house. It’s going to be fun there, I think so. I have a lot of cousion’s there. There is Haritsah, Hanzolah, Zahrah, Hamzah, Kayyisa and Kanza, and don’t forget My little sister, Aqila. ”Dasha, Aqila be good there! Be good to Jaddati,Okay!” said Amie. “Okay!” my replied.
“Kak dasha! Main, yok! ” said Haritsah in Indonesian. “Ya udah, Ayok!’” I said. After a couple of days, I woke up in the morning. Then I started to act, ”Daddi..atut atuuuhh..atuuuttt...daddii..atut atuuuhh....” Jaddi just kept quite and still busy at his stuff. Agin I joked, ”Daddi..atut atuuuhh..atuuuttt...daddii..atut atuuuhh....” Haritsah commented, “Nanti, jatoh betolan baru tau.”

I start again. I was acting like I almost fall off the bed, ...

and ....

BRUUUUKK!!

I fall off the bed!!

I will [not] remember this always

Harvest oh harvest

One evening in February, right after school, we decided to have fun at the paddy field just behind our house. Precious paddy field that surround our house until the un-known future.

While it is still with us, we might as well enjoy its golden smile...

Kamera Di Gudang Tua - Part 1

Claudine, Mandy, Pat(Patricia), dan Darrell sedang berjalan-jalan. Si Pat lagi iseng isengnya, nih. Dia mengajak Mandy dan Darrell ke rumah no. 13. Semua anak-anak takut kalau pergi kesana. Katanya dulu ada ilmuwan gila tinggal disitu. “Ayo! Aku setuju! Pasti ada,…” kata kata Mandy terputus. “RAMUAN TUA ANEH!!!!! KATAK KERING!!!*itu dapetnya dari buku ‘smurf’ yang sering aku baca* AND BAJU ILMUWAN!!!!” teriak Darrell yang sangat bersemangat.

“Ak..ak..aku mau pulang saja, deh…” kata Claudine. “Oh, iya. Ilmuwan kan suka foto foto benda yang ditemukannya. Pasti ada kamera…,” ujar Pat. “Ya udah, deh. Aku ikut.” Kata Claudine pelan. Soalnya, dia suka mengoleksi berbagai jenis kamera. Tapi, kameranya yang sekarang tidak bagus. Orang yang difotonya selalu seperti memiliki bintik merah dimatanya. Jadi, Claudine ikut, untuk menemukan kamera yang lebih bagus. Tapi, yang paling ia inginkan adalah kamera DSLR. Itu, lho. Kamera yang lensanya panjang dan biasa dipakai ‘National Geographic’.

Sesampainya di rumah ilmuwan gila, mereka segera masuk. Pat langsung mau ke ‘basement’ atau ruang bawah tanah. Pat mengerjai kawan kawannya. “TOLOOONG!! TOLONG TEMAN-TEMAN!! AKU DIT…” kata kata Pat terputus. Ia memang jago acting, karena, disekolah ia mengambil ekskul teater. Jadi ia bisa beracting kapanpun ia mau. “T..tt..tuuhh kkkaaann… bb…bbbb..be….narr..” kata Claudine. “Benar? Benar apanya?” Tanya Mandy sok bloon. “MENDING KITA GAK USAH KESINI!!” kata Claudine marah. “Ya, udah. Kita ke basement aja!” usul Darrell. “Hiks… Hiks… Hiks… Yuk…” tangis Claudine dan Mandy. Mereka sangat takut.

“NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” tawa Pat. “Kalian tertipu!!” teriak Pat girang. “BUGH!!” sebuah pukulan mengenai pipi Pat. “ADHOIIIII!!!!” teriak Pat sekencang kencangnya. “Hey! Aku mendapatkan kamera tuanya!” seru Claudine tiba tiba menunjuk lemari kayu yang pinggir pinggirnya geropos. “Mana? Mana? Mana?” tanya Darrell, Mandy, dan Pat. “Itu! Disitu!” jawab Claudine. “Woi! Pulang, yuk! Udah jam 5, nih!!” teriak Darrell. “Ya, udah. Yuk!” kami setuju.

Sesampainya di rumah, Claudine langsung mengambil gambar dengan kamera temuannya.

Ternyata…

Tunggu sambungan ceritanya sabtu depan ya!!

9th Birtday

when you are NINE.. all you need is just simple birthday..
and GREAT wishes from family :o)

Busy Big Sister

Dasha has been a very good big sister. Very compasionate, caring, and full of attention to her sister and brother. Lot's of love always...

"CINTA yang tulus di dalam hatiku, t'lah bersemi karenamu!"

Always take care of your sister and brother okay darling... hubungan saudara kandung sebaiknya dipelihara... saling menjaga satu sama lain... :)

7th Birthday

On Dasha's 7 birthday we did a simple celeberation at Jaddati's house.
It was always fun even though we did not have a lot..
wait ... we had a LOT..

we had a lot of LOVE! <3


Happy 7th Birthday, Dasha! Amie, Abach, & Aqila love you VERY much!

Anak bisa juga 'nyuruh'...

D: Abach....Bach...Abach!
AP: Ya Dasha?
D: Kenapa sich, orang tua itu kerjanya nyuruh anaknyaaaaa mulu?
AP: Ya iyyalaaa, masak anak nyuruh orang tua?
D: Hmm... Tapi Dasha rasa cuma satu yang anak bisa nyuruh orang tua.
......pas nyuruh bayar uang sekolah...

[asal....]

D: Amie, what do you call when worm wants to become butterfly [sambil megang buku science]
AU: Hmmm...let see... starts with an "M"?
D: Hey.. I bet you don't know....[senyum menang]
AU: Well...could it be metamorphose?...
D: Hey! You cheated! Did you see my book before?

[meanwhile Aqila is watching and busy with Ka' Dasha's pencil sharpener]

More art work from Dasha in 2007

To love a family is.... to draw them ! :o)

'Mba' Olive.. my new buddy from Leuser rain forest

Going to Tangkahan Langkat was quiet a journey - travelling with Amie Uni and her buddies from the office was wonderful!!!








Met new friend Alec and also the sweet auntie Nonnie.. oom Inal ...oom Amin... oom 'Pincok'

Here.. introducing the Sumatran's elephants... Olive (an elephant baby who is only 6 years old!)Tio, Eva, Sari and others...

Friends, do you know the Leuser National Park rain forest is one of a kind? There is no other place in this world that still has multiple big wild mammals... so why can't we watch nature - because all this time it has been wathing and guarding us?

More art work.. love my doggie picture? WuFF!.. :o)

they post my work for the COVER!!! Groovy...

Dasha Shamira Putri finally proved that her artwork is considered by the Department of State as one of the best drawings to be printed for the A-OK 2007 calendar... and she was only 4 when she did the drawing.... Her drawing was even used as the cover!!!! Go girl!
Nostalgic overview: This reminds Amie Uni of the time when she won first place at St. Joseph school, beating the elementary students for her 3 colored scenery drawing. And from that they she believes strongly on the power of Al-Fatihah and Al-Ikhlas... as Dasha's Neni always said, that time " Be confident adek (that time was meant for Amie Dasha)... work hard and pray ask for Allah's blessing... Insya Allah good things will come to you" and.. it worked before... it works now..

So Dasha.. and Aqila.. and 'another one' if ever going to arrive at our Rumah Batoe Puteh bunch.. this hopefully will teach you that as long as you have good and strong will, you focus, you work hard and believe in Allah.. it will come to you..

Congratulations Dasha! Keep up the good work...
[Note: A-Ok Calendar Competitions is a pretty challanging drawing competitions of children of American and local staff who works at the foreign mission. The theme was "Living Safely Overseas" Dasha was joining the competions among thousands of this group of children around the world. End Note]

Third Grade Fun

Dasha has the principal to just be friends with everyone. Abi was a nice boy who likes to let her read his comics, then Yaya, a friend to hang out with.. and the class was just filled with busy happy kids! :)

That morning, I came with a camera to Dasha's class and BUOY!! the excitement of kids today to have their pictures taken. I remember that when I was small I was too afraid of camera and like.. didn't know how to pose..

I love you Dasha! Be nice to everyone as always okay.. luv, Amie.

So we have a new baby in the house

Yes, I am a big sister now. After school it is either I have to help Amie to get her pampers, bottle, or I have to make sure to have time to play with her.. Well, being an older sister is not easy, y'know! But it is fun!.. I am a big girl now :)

Love from my men.. :o)
