Hari ini tanggal 31 Desember 2008. Sebagai bagian dari latihan mengaktifkan sel-sel kelabu memoriku yang pelupa ini, baiklah kita mengingat-ingat apa saja yang terjadi selama setahun belakangan ini.
Kerjaan
Alhamdulillah, masih dipercaya menjadi Direktur Dokumentasi dan Informasi. Cuma, tahun ini Wiwid, pemred Jurnal Jentera, resign dan kami belum mendapatkan penggantinya. Ada beberapa perkembangan menarik. Pertama, tahun ini akhirnya berhasil memperoleh dana penerbitan sendiri, hasil dari kerja farli dan saya mengkompilasi peraturan perundang-undangan dan membantu rangkaian training panitera di padang, makassar dan jakarta. Kedua, kami membantu DPR menjadi bagian dari sebuah jaringan hukum yang katanya cukup prestisius, meskipun ada konflik di sana-sini (cuma, sikap kami tegas.. kami gak mau ikut2an urusan "politik", lempeng wae di urusan teknis). Ketiga, alhamdulillah dapet dana dari TAF untuk membeli buku perpustakaan. Sholikin dapet laptop (pinjeman) baru dari kantor.
Tahun ini juga adalah tahun "ban serep". Pertama, menggantikan ery sang dirop (direktur operasional -red) yang cuti sakit akibat back pain. Kedua, menggantikan erni sang dirprog (direktur program -red) yang cuti menikah dan menyelesaikan thesis. Saking seringnya menjadi ban serep, ery sampe becanda, mungkin perlu pasang iklan: "Anda butuh pengganti direktur sementara? Hubungi Herni, 0817 sekian sekian" :D.
Untuk eksplorasi pekerjaan, tahun ini program MJD yang diplesetkan menjadi Mudah-mudahan Jadi Dong :-) keliatannya sudah menghasilkan. Tepatnya, satu buku yang cukup tebal dijadikan bantal. Training panitera menghasilkan teman-teman baru di padang, makassar dan jakarta, belinda, yunita, ida, icha, sheila, bobby, panji, dida, pak rudi, pak erwan, ibu putu dll. Beberapa ide penelitian yang dulu sempat digagas alhamdulillah mulai terlaksana. Yang paling baru, penelitian kinerja DPRD di 9 wilayah.
Tahun ini juga penuh keanehan di beberapa program, soal interpretasi, faktor politik yang kental untuk kerjaan yang sebenarnya sangat teknis dan pekerjaan training assisstant yang harus disamarkan jadi translator. Ada juga yg mengecewakan. Kerjasama dengan CILC yang tadinya menyenangkan karena servaas, my dutch brother, yang memegang program itu akan datang ke Indonesia, eh servaasnya pindah ke Jerman. A part of me is sad, but a part of me is so happy to hear that he moves on with his life. He loves his wife so much that when she passed away, it seems impossible for him to live again. The only way I could think of is that to move to other place. So, it's good that he finally decided to start his life at a new place. So yes, am happy for him.
Last but not least, kerjaan di dua koalisi yang sedang hangat-hangatnya di tahun ini. Pertama, UU Pornografi yang penuh kontroversial, termasuk di dalam PSHK. Kedua, RUU Pelayanan Publik yang sampai sekarang belum disahkan DPR. Bikin lobby paper, talkshow, seminar, konferensi pers, lobby, dll.

Tahun ini, sakit diabetes mama makin parah. Obat gulanya termasuk obat yang paling keras, dosisnya pun dinaikkan dari 1mg menjadi 2 mg. Diminum 2x sehari, pagi dan sore. Belum lagi, ditambah dengan suntikan insulin di malam hari. Tipe insulin 24 jam, dosisnya berkisar antara 7-10ml, tergantung kadar gula di pagi hari. She once almost lost her sight, but after 4 times laser, obat ini obat itu, she finally could see. Text tv jadi patokannya hehe. And she can read qur'an again now, even still have to use the binocular. It's kind of cute, though.. watching her reading qur'an with kaca pembesar. But as always, I'm acting that her diabetis still can be managed. And always, always gives her reasons to live. That's how humans survive, right? Hope.
One big thing happened this year. I took a major commitment. A house! Yes, baby.. i finally keep my promise to buy us a house. Well, mas ade paid for most of the downpayment. I owe him around 44 mil. I don't how I'm going to pay it, but I'll pay it soon or later. He said that it's our house, but I intend to make it my house. So, although he's my brother, am going to pay him. But now, I need the money to buy the house stuffs, from teralis to kitchen set, from the bed to the stove. You name it. It's like I were marry or something, hehe. But hopefully, it's a place that we can always call... home.
Another big thing is mbak Helly went to UK for her Ph.D. Finally, she get a quite full scholaarship. I wish I could follow her step... but not know. Have to be a good girl, taking care of her mother. And that's totally fine with me.
Social Life
I took a guitar lesson at farabi. Took my first exam, actually. Hope I pass, am the oldest student there hahaha. Joined the fitness first, trying to be healthy and lose my weight. Went to US couple times, one for GLIN training, the other one is for NGS 18th. Become an US Embassy Agent, for the welcome back slank concert, hehe. Bagi-bagi tiket konser slank buat anak-anak Puri.
Made new friends and some old friends came to visit me. Mr. Brown came to visit, with Anthony, a blogger from Australia. Eka came to visit. We met in Palangkaraya, during Kay's wedding. Some of them changed their status: Maria is finally engaged and will going to get married in February 2009. Erni is married to Ardi, Cholil to Irma (finally!), and my others friends (sorry, totally forgot! :P).

Well, that's a short kaleidoskop for my personal life.
