"Mas Dewo!!!... Kumis saya hilang. Gimana ini?", kata Mas Muji kepada saya, sambil masih nyari kumis Rahwananya di dalam mobil. Sesaat kemudian baru kita sadari, benda itu memang bener2 hilang. Padahal kita udah sampai di lokasi tujuan pemotretan, yaitu di halaman parkir Mc Donald. Akhirnya, saya putusin pemotretan tetap jalan, biarpun nggak semangat dan sedikit malas-malasan. Dan Mas Muji pun berpose tanpa kumis Rahwana (foto atas).

"Dewo!!!... I lose my moustache. How come this happened?", Mas Muji said to me, at the same time he was still looking for his Rahwana moustache in the car. After a while we realized, that thing is really lose. Though we have reached our aim location, that's on Mc Donald's park yard. Finally, I set mind on remain to make a picture of him, though lackluster. And Mas Muji even also posed without a Rahwana moustache (photo above).

Saat pengeditan, sebuah kumis tebal saya tambahin pada foto itu (foto bawah). Meski akhirnya si Rahwana di foto itu berkumis lagi, tapi ingatan wajah Rahwana tanpa kumis masih aja terbayang di pikiran saya sampai saat ini. Dan hal itu sangat menyebalkan. (Foto ini adalah bagian dari seri Transposisi Rahwana)

At the editing, a thick moustache of Rahwana were enhanced at this photo (photo below). Though finally the Rahwana in this photo have a moustache again, but a memory of Rahwana without moustache is still always figured in my mind till now. And that thing very annoyed. (This photograph is the part of series of Transposing Rahwana)

Ini salah satu dari ratusan foto-foto saya dan Nia sahabat saya yg menikah April lalu dan sekarang sedang hamil 5 bulan. Foto ini dibuat 22 April 2007 pas 3 hari sebelum hari akad nikah Nia dan pas 2 hari sebelum ulangtahun saya ke 25. Sebelum dia menikah kami sering melakukan hal-hal seru berdua. Tapi berhubung keadaan sudah berbeda (dia sudah menikah dan hamil, sedangkan saya sudah tidak di Malang lagi) kami jarang ketemuan lagiiii...aihh, kalo ada mesin waktu, boleh dunk balik ke masa lalu!!!

This is one of the hundreds of my photos and Nia, my friend, which have married last April and now she pregnant. This photo was made at 22 April 2007, three-days before legalization of Nia's marriage and two-days moment before my 25th anniversary. Before her marriage we often conducted exciting things. But the situation have differed now, we seldom to meet. if there is time machine, I wish to return to past!!!

Ini foto diambil pas gw sama idrus (mantan roommate gw) ngerayain ultah di PlankPlunk Cafe,
yg kebetulan banget tanggal lahirnya sama... (30 juli 1982)...

This photo was taken when I and Idrus ( my former roommate) celebrating anniversary in a cafe. The great thing is we got same birth date (30 July 1982)

Tapi yg paling gw benci, setiap pertemuan pasti ada perpisahaan...
After that day, gw ma temen-temen ga pernah bisa kumpul bareng lagi... Karena kesibukan masing-masing, gw ma Idrus pun gak pernah ketemu lagi...
Idrus skarang sudah married dan punya anak satu...
Worst, gak lama kemudian tempat kita kumpul pada hari itu pun juga sudah tidak ada alias bangkrut...

But the most hateful on me is... every meeting have its send-off...
After that day, we have never can gather again. Because we have our own business, I and Idrus nor have met again...
He now have married and have one child...
Worst, after a few times, our place gathered on that even (Plank Plunk Cafe) went broke and closed...

Foto ini udah lama tertempel di meja kaca di rumah dan nggak mau lepas.

This photo have been long time enough patched inside a glass desk at home and cannot be released.

Sebenarnya foto ini menyimpan kenangan yang menyenangkan. Tapi yang bikin benci, saya nggak pernah bisa memastikan yang mana diantara dua anak dalam foto itu itu adalah saya.

Frankly, I got an impression to this old photo. But, there is one annoyed matter, I have never can ascertain which one among two kids in that photo is me.
