Sebagai orang yang nggak suka makan kue, aku nggak terlalu tahu nama-nama kue. Helena sempat tersinggung 'naluri perkueannya', waktu aku minta pencerahan, menggunakan istilah-istilah berikut untuk deskripsinya: semicircle (pastel), tabung (risoles), etc.
Akibatnya, sekarang aku sering jadi bulan-bulanannya Helena tentang dunia perkuean. Hehe, coba test dulu si Vitri tahu nggak ini namanya apa. Atau: Vit tahu nggak bedanya pukis dengan carabikang? Lha dengar carabikang aja baru sekarang, mana aku tahu bentuknya? :P

Driving for two
First of all, definition. Mathematicians always come back to definition, though. ;-) This is a term I copied from an article I read years ago, meaning driving + leading the way for another car.
Last week I had the experience. Observation: it was easier when you drive an easily spotted car. :D Related to that, driving for two is much more difficult in the evening, when it's dark.

Baksos
Last week, I joined a team from our church doing 'baksos'. Let me share one funny experience.
There was one particular 5.5 years old girl. I remember her well because she spelled her name to me when I filled her registration card. Everything went well ... until 10 minutes later she came back to me, very upset. The thing is, every kid got 2 coupons: a blue one for being able to see a medical doctor for free and getting some snack; a yellow one for getting stationery. She gave her blue coupon to me (and I gave it back), thinking I lost her yellow one.
She was angrily asking me where her yellow coupon was. When I said I didn't have it, she gave her version (gave me both coupon, I only gave the blue one back). When she saw that it didn't go anywhere (namely that I don't have the coupon), she started to cry.
Yes, indeed ... a 5.5 years old girl got angry with me and then cried! To be honest, I didn't know what to do (or say). :-P The only thing I did was looking around, trying to get somebody's attention ... and I'll ask for help. Hehe, SOS!!
And you know what? In fact, the yellow coupon was ... in her bag! The cry immediately stopped when we spotted the 'lost' coupon. A teenager from our group commented: 'Capek deeh!'

Be healthy, be thankful
Health is something most people take for granted. Everyday we wake up, do our routine activities, without realizing how blessed we are. It's only when we encounter sickness, do we realize how valuable our health is.
