The Story of A Ladlady Eps.2

New Comers

One morning the doorbell rang. Ibu Rina came in a rush and found two young girls by the door.

"Good morning, Mam. We are looking for available rooms,"
said the girl in yellow t-shirt.
"How lucky you are. There are three rooms left. Would you like to check out?," answer Ibu Rina in an excited manner.
"Sure!," now the girl in green t-shirt smile.
"Come in!"

A Book is A Best Friend

Membaca buku yang bagus rasanya seperti punya teman yang nyambung diajak ngobrol.
Menurut saya, buku yang bagus itu bukan hanya yang bagus secara substansi, namun juga bagus dalam cara menyampaikannya. Cara si penulis memaparkan isi pikirannya dengan memerhatikan kata demi kata dengan sistematis dan kohesif merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Yang terakhir adalah layout halaman buku. Penggunaan font dan spasi yang tepat akan memberikan kenyamanan saat membacanya. Atau mungkin jika diberi sedikit warna dan ilustrasi akan semakin menarik.

Ketika sebuah buku memiliki semua hal di atas (substansi, bahasa, dan layout), ia akan bernyawa dan menjelma seorang kawan sejati. Seolah sang penulis telah mengkloning dirinya untuk berbicara kepada kita.
Entah untuk menghibur, menenangkan perasaan, menyemangati, atau mengajarkan banyak hal yang tidak kita ketahui sebelumnya.

The Story of A Landlady

At first, I am confused if I would write this story in English or Indonesian.
In the end, I decided to mix both languages, so you guys can learn
English and the rest can learn Indonesian.
Please guys, learn Indonesian since Indonesia will be one of
the giant part of world's economy.
Fair enough, right? 
--------------------------------------------------------

Pada suatu waktu, hiduplah seorang wanita bernama Ibu Rina. 
She owns a boarding house.
Actually, it belongs to her husband.
Ibu Rina is just delegated to run the business.
No, don't imagine ibu kost with rol rambut everywhere and koyo cabe nempel di pipi dan pelipis!
Here she is.. Ibu Kost glamor dengan gigi kelinci bak Olla Ramlan dan selebriti masa kini lainnya.
------------------------------------------------
Aaaandd..please welcome Pak Ledut, Bu Rina's husband.

He works in Abu Dhabi as an engineer.
Living a long distance relationship with Ibu Rina, he
constantly sends his wife loads of
romantic texts like this:


Translation:
Hey mommy what r u doin? Have you eaten? Daddy miss you sooo muchhh

You know, for most Indonesian this kind of text is considered veeeery very very romantic. Levelnya kira-kira setara lah dengan tembang "Because of You" dari Keith Martin.

---------------------------------------------------------

This is the boarding house named Wisma Nganturu.
It is originally derived from Javanese phrase "wis mangan turu" which means "after eating, then sleeping".

A Reader

I am a reader. I mean, a book reader. Not a mind reader. But books tell about minds. So I guess I know what's on your mind.
