Suka Vs Mahir
October 26, 2006
I’m writing this in Pekalongan, during my lebaran mudik trip, where in home internet access is a luxury that is not available (one of the things about the big city I miss the most =P). Which should explain why this is a delayed entry :P
Anyway.
Back to the topic: Suka Vs Mahir. I came across this topic while I was reading this manga (Japanese comic, to you not familiar with term), Hanamaru’s Kitchen. It’s about this girl Hana, who looovess to cook. Being familiar with this kind of story, I assume it’s going to be about this super chef girl, and when I read the first frame, where she said “My name is Hana, and I looove to cook”, I thought to myself, I was right. But then the second frame shows her stumbling over her utensils, followed by a statement, “Tapi suka belum tentu berarti mahir” (but that doesn’t mean I’m good at it”), and I instantly smiled, knowing that this should be a funny one. I was right about that, it was indeed an entertaining manga, which ended “quite” realistically. Hana didn’t become Japan’s greatest chefs, but she got married to her partner during a cooking competition, which was (of course) a young, talented chef. And they opened a restaurant together where she became the manager. Fair enough, I’d say =P
At the same day I read the manga, I came across a similar Suka Vs Mahir situation. There was this Open House event at my grandma’s house, where there was a band playing, for entertainment. Of course the aunties and the uncles, plus all the elders wanted to see the youngsters performing on stage, for their entertainment. We were a bit shy during noon, but as time went by (and the crowd went less), we were all busy thinking of what song we should sing, because we all looove to sing, although we’re not good at it =P Too bad it seems most of the crowd also had the same Suka Vs Mahir situation, because everyone else (which were not all good singers btw >_<) seemed so eager to go on stage that we only got to sing two songs! Huuu.. penonton kecewaaaa…. Hahaha… xP
Based on our disappointment that night, we all decide that we should have a karaoke machine/dvd next year! At least we’ll have some place to express our love of singing then.. hihihihi… although I’m not sure it’ll be approved, considering all the noise we’ll make ^^;;
Well, we’ll just see. I’ll get back to you next year and give you an update on that karaoke machine, wish us luck!
Final note:
Happy Lebaran to those who celebrate it!

… And Happy Holidays to all!!
