SEVEN Day 6: The Indian Breakfast


At morning, right after we dropped our daughters at school, we stopped by at Indian restaurant near our home. Son wanted chapati & we wanted chai haleeb (milk tea + ginger).

The restaurant was crowdy as usual, mostly taxi drivers. Yummy food & not a shabby place!

SEVEN Day 5: The Mural

"Kids. DO NOT draw on the wall! You have paper and...

Nevermind."



Those rebelious little artists cannot resist to 'scratch' the white canvas, the wall.

Nice weather for outdoor activities. So we decide there'll be no mall this weekend. 
This afternoon we walk in Kuwait downtown. Buy Tintin comics, get some shawarmas then sit on sidewalk bench enjoying the cold breeze & city view.

SEVEN Day 5: Habib, Si Irani Gila



Perkenalkan, ini supir taxi gelap langganan kami bernama Habib berkebangsaan Iran. Sama sekali ngga bisa bahasa Inggris, tapi kelakuannya rusuh & suka iseng. Berumur paruh baya mengaku punya istri 5 di Teheran, Iran :D


Becandanya suka rasis. Sambil nyetir, sering nunjuk-nunjuk ke orang di pinggir jalan "Bengali!" atau "Musr (Mesir)!" atau "Kuwaiti!"
Yang sering jadi korban orang Bengali (Bangladesh). Setiap menemukan mereka entah sedang berjalan atau ambil air, Habib melambatkan mobilnya dan berteriak-teriak seperti mengomel kepada mereka kemudian kabur sambil ketawa-ketawa meninggalkan korbannya terbingung-bingung.



Suatu ketika, Habib dan kami memergoki teman sekantor kami (Yoswar & Eman - ex RCTI juga) sedang berjalan di parkiran bank. Isengnya kumat, Habib menginjak gas dan bersiap menabrak Yoswar & Eman. Kontan saja mereka berdua kaget setengah mati melompat ke trotoar menyelamatkan diri. Habib pun ngakak dari balik kemudinya.



Hari ini, korbannya seorang bapak-bapak sedang tenang & damai bersepeda di pinggir jalan. Habib menempelkan mobilnya tepat di samping pengendara sepeda, menggebrak pintu & berteriak keras dalam bahasa arab. Langsung kabur, Habib tertawa terkekeh, merasa puas membuat si pengendara sepeda nyaris jatuh. "Hada Irani (Itu orang Iran)" katanya. Buset. Orang sebangsanya juga jadi korban. Dasar Irani gila.

SEVEN Day 4: Indonesian Mango



Pagi ini kami mampir ke Sultan supermarket. Yang menarik, kini tersedia mangga Indonesia. Cuma harganya yang luar biasa, sekilo dijual Rp 70.000 saja! Kebayang kalau di kampung tinggal manjat pohon dan metik sendiri. Pengen sih beli, cuma ngga rela sama harganya. Sementara Leia yang duduk di trolley sudah teriak-teriak pengen mangga-nya. Neo yang duduk di sebelah Leia juga ikut excited. Nanti pas mudik saja ya nak, kita pesta mangga! *balada perantau*

SEVEN Day 3: Arwen's 30 minutes

Ini adalah sepenggal kisah Arwen saat menjelang berangkat sekolah.



Membangunkan Arwen seperti membangunkan kerbau yang sudah seminggu ngga tidur karena ada lemburan. Susahnya minta ampun. Kadang berhasil bangun tapi sambil marah-marah :D



Berhubung Arwen sudah mandi malam sebelumnya, bangun pagi tinggal sikat gigi & cuci muka. Sambil merem tentunya



Sarapan juga setengah ngantuk. Sering ngga habis, karena memang ngga lapar XD



Tepat jam 6:19, Arwen sudah di lobi apartemen menunggu bisa sekolah datang. 6:20, bis sekolah datang. Tepat 30 menit!

SEVEN Day 2: Ngos-ngosan di Taman India



Hari ini Papin kembali berolah raga lari di Taman India dekat rumah. Disebut Taman India karena banyak orang India & ibu-ibu India lengkap dengan selendang sari mereka berolah raga di sini.

Kebetulan Papin terlalu bersemangat buat lari ngebut pagi ini, berusaha menyalib ibu-ibu berselendang sari. Akibatnya, belum 1 km sudah ngga kuat, berhenti sambil ngos-ngosan, dilirik ibu-ibu berselendang sari yang tadi Papin salib

SEVEN Day 1: Mamin's Me-Time

Hari ini Mamin pergi gaul bareng ibu-ibu lain, meninggalkan Papin, Arwen, Leia & Neo di rumah.



Selamat bergaul, Mamin. Jangan lupa oleh-oleh.



Selama Mamin pergi, situasi & kondisi cukup aman terkendali. Baby Neo sempet protes dengan botol dot, tapi bisa diamankan dengan jurus andalan tidur di atas perut Papin. Arwen & Leia sibuk nonton Shaun the Sheep.



Papin terbangun, terdengar kegaduhan di living room. Suasana ruangan seperti Pearl Harbour setelah diserbu Jepang. Arwen menggunakan sepatu di dalam rumah, nyolong ayam KFC & Leia menumpahkan segelas Pepsi di meja makan. Tidak lama berselang Mamin pulang, disambut oleh masyarakat sekampung.

Kini bisa terbayangkan betapa hebatnya Mamin bisa menghadapi hari-hari tanpa Papin saat hari kerja. Dan Mamin's me-time hari ini semoga berhasil me-refresh stamina :D

ps: coretan untuk SEVEN ini baru bisa dibuat saat semua situasi aman terkendali, alias Arwen, Leia & Neo sudah bobok :D
