This is Me

Ontime is not The wrong decision

Today is February 26, 2011. Saturday planned a meeting among friends alumni a narrative writing workshop. This announcement also announced via facebook and text messaging. Could not wait together again with their jokes. Lili, Jogi, Willy, Rahmad have been more than 9 days did not hear their own jokes.

On Friday, I had a fever. I thought I could not go on Saturday. High body temperature, but I'm cold. I've never had symptoms of malaria.

Saturday, I could recover. I think I will meet them. The next morning I went to college first. Request many signature for scholarship purpose. Starting at 9 until 1 o'clock I was back and forth academic space. At 2 I just got home. My head is not too good. Still like dizzy, and my breath feels hot.

I slept 15 minutes, Rahmad called me. He asked,
"Jadi gak kita ketemuan hari ini, Silvi?".
"Aku gak tahu juga bang."
"Coba hubungin Irna, abis itu kasih tahu aku ya."
"Sip sip sip lah bang."

Tut tut tut

I immediately SMS Irna, my sleepiness disappeared. Irna replied to me, "Aku dak pergi Sil"
Reading text from Irna, I began to feel sleepy again. I thought this event is really not going to be.

SMS Bella came 5 minutes after that. Topics are the same. I asked Bella to be  with me when we go. But  Bella can not. He must go to the Pasar and to WALHI this afternoon. When we are in the way back, I can be with her. I'm quite the spirit to go.

I showered and dressed as quickly as possible. My mind, funny if I'm late coming. Since most of their demands punctuality if they work. I have to ride public transportation for 3 times to reach the place that had been promised.

Bella send the message, "Ir, vi , dimana kalian? jika sudah sampai sms kakak ya". I just got Rimbo intersection at the time. Stop by the ATM, took money. This week I once extravagant.

Ride transportation coloured yellow. There's only 3 people in it. I pay 2000 Rupiahs. Pity. Hard to find passengers, right now.

Start feeling uncomfortable. Mobile phone vibrate. "Aku gk jadi datang nich. Aku ada meeting dengan dosenku." That's the message from Rahmad. I remember Irna said she will go  because of forced Rahmat. Exactly 2 minutes after I thought so, the message from Irna come again "Karena banyak yang konfirmasi gak bisa datang, pertemuan dibatalkan, kita obrolin lewat grup di fb saja ya".

It is true. I'm surprised  with my own feelings. Only briefly confused, why just come down from transport continue to rise again ". I think I'm gonna explode, But I am not.

I read an article about how to be ontime and the benefits to be gained if it be so for recently months. In college I am practicing the same things that I read. That being whatever reason was not ontime it will make people who waited be annoyed. At the February in last workshop , I learned the same thing from Andreas Harsono, a journalist and writer. His concentration is a human right. He is a ontime even Intime. I admire him.
Today is not ending here is not it?

I easily go back home. Upset, what's the point?
Maybe it's now called bad day. Actually it is not as bad as I thought. I'm proud to be on time. I will reap its results later. On time is principle of my life. There is no successful person in the world if they are not on time person.
I'm more mature God. Thank you, this is good for me.
