a good person

Hari ini secara tak sengaja aku ketemu Nugie Nugraha. Iya...yang penyanyi itu. Ketemunya di sebuah warung nasi ayam di daerah lippo karawaci Tangerang.

Ini pertemuan yang kedua sebenarnya. Yang pertama waktu aku jadi panitia konser Nugie di Undip Semarang tahun 1995. Waktu itu yang ngadain acara jurusan Komunikasi Undip angkatan '94. Angkatanku.

Yang istimewa dari kejadian tadi. Ketika aku menyapa Nugie dan mengingatkan sedikit tentang konser dia di Undip tahun 1995, dia langsung ingat detailnya dan bersemangat bercerita kepada teman-temannya yang makan bersamanya. Dan dia juga tetep RAMAH seperti ketika tahun 1995 dulu. 13 tahun yang lalu...

Memang kualitas kebaikan seseorang akan terlihat dengan cara apapun tak peduli kapan waktunya...demikian juga dengan kekurangan seseorang...

A good person will always be a good person...

A man and a kid

Last night, I got a surprising experience. I just get out of my office building and walking to ATM nearby my office. That was almost 10 pm. As I got in to the ATM, I saw a young man riding a bike. Behind him is a kid (I think it’s a boy). He ride his bike to the ATM. I thought he would use the ATM as well. I was wrong. Still in his bike, the young man picked a used plastic glass lied in front of the ATM room using a stick. Then he handed over the plastic glass to the kid behind him to be put in their plastic bag. Yes, right! The young man is a waste taker. He collects used plastic waste and sells it to a dealer for living. Suddenly, I remember my son and my wife at home. I realize no matter how hard my job is, I am still much luckier than that young man. Bur sometimes we forget to be grateful for everything we receive from Allah SWT. Hope the young man and his kid are alright and get a better life.
