Origamania
Ezekiel: "Daddy, can you buy me something. like a toy? Hmm.... wait a minute. You have no money right now to buy me toys right? Okay. What about origami paper? I'll make my own toys with those papers."
Daddy: "Okay. I don't mind with that. In fact, I'll buy you lots of them."
My wife and I have been amazed with Ezekiel's hobby at the moment. Doing origami. Actually he has been doing this since a few months ago but we have never seen him so passionate, so fanatic, so interested, so crazy about origami like these few days. He can sit for hours just to fold origami papers. I am so proud of him.

Inilah 'blessing in disguise' ketika Zeki tidak dapat membeli senjata mainan baru.
He made his own rifles and guns.

Still Valentine's Effect
The story still went on ....
I guess this Valentine's day still has its magical moments.
Remember when Ezekiel said that he would make a 'tulip' flower from origami paper for his teacher? "Because I love her and I want to make her happy", he said. That night after our special candle-light-instant- noodles-and-CocaCola dinner, I reminded him about his promise. He then argued with his mom about how to make this origami flower. It ended up with him saying, "I'll do it tomorrow."
Well, I thought he was not going to make it. Just another kid's promise that would end up as 'Later' answer.
It then turned out that he did make a 'tulip' flower from origami paper. He gave one to his amazed teacher. He even gave her another chocolate. And to make the story even better. He showed his skills with origami paper to his friends and gave some to them. Plane, flower, samurai hat, and some other models.
Ezekiel said, "I don't go outside of the classroom during break. I stayed in the classroom and make those origami models. It's fun. I gave the flower to my teacher. My friends also like it. So I made some to them. I had fun."
GREAT JOB, MY SON.

Valentine's Effect - continued
So, the story went on ...
Still on february 14th, 2014.
After hours accompanying me (his dad) at office; this has been a routine for Ezekiel after spending great times at school, Zeki and I were so happy to arrive home and being greeted by a sweet smile from mama. Hmmm.... another Valentine's effect, I suspect.
Jumping from his seat, Zeki then ran to his mom and started telling her about what happened at school earlier. His eyes shone as he shared the story.
Mama and daddy were so happy and so proud of you, Ezekiel.
Mama: "Wow, I am so proud of you Ezekiel. You know what, I've got chocolates for you."
Ezekiel: "Yeee....."
Mama: "And I also got a chocolate for you daddy."
I was blushing because I didn't have anything for mama..Shame on me.
Daddy: "Thank you so much mama. I am very sorry I don't have any chocolate for you. I love you."
Mama: "It's okay, daddy. You are already a precious gift for me."
Daddy: "Well, I know that we have no meals for dinner tonight. You know what, let's cook instant noodles (indomie goreng lagi) and have our candle light dinner."
Mama: "OK."
Ezekiel: "Good. It will be great."
So, it happened. Together, hand in hand, we cooked the instant noodles with great love. Zeki helped us in and out, while also being busy with his toys. After finished cooking, we set the table, put the noodles accompanied with Coca Cola, put the candles and lit them, then turned off the light. Perfect dinner for a happy family on a great day. We chatted about what took place on this special day and we made an oath that we will do this kind of candle light dinner on every February 14th.
During the dinner ...
Ezekiel: "Wow. This is so romantic."
Mama and daddy: "How did you get that word?", we asked almost at the same time.
Ezekiel: "Hmmmmm.... I don't know. I just know it."
So, eventually, on February 14th, 2014, Zeki officially mentioned the word 'romantic', adding another marvelous word in his personal dictionary.

Super-boy revelead his future..!
Super-boy revelead his future..!
Yesterday, he challenged to make this cute T-Rex for me. During that time, we had a little chit-chat about something in the future. Though I already knew the answer from his dad, but I think there’s no harm to ask directly to him J
Me: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Him: “I want to work here”
Me: “Hmm, why do you want to work here?”
Him: “I want to work in the office”
Me: “So, do you mean that you want to be like your dad?”
Him: “Yes and I can’t wait to work!” [lalu bertanya apakah dia bisa membuat ekor T-Rex dari kertas putih]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: “Why do you want to be like your dad? How about to be a manager or country director?”
Him: “What is country director?”
Me: “It’s a leader of this office. You will also have chance to travel to other places”
Him: “Urgh, I don’t want to travel. I want to stay here in the office”
Me: “Like your dad. He travel a lot, right?”
Him: *mumbling* “yeaah..” [gak yakin apakah ini bentuk complain ke daddy-nya juga :)]
Me: “So, it means to me that you want to work in the office just like me”
Him: “Yes, staying here”
Me: “But travelling is fun too. You can meet with a lot of people in some places and some countries”
Him: “It’s booorrriiinnngg... I will get boring on the plane until I sick. I don’t want to go to other country. It’s super lame. I just want to be here” [copas kata-katanya persis]
Me: *sigh*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Masih sibuk dengan gunting dan kertas origami hijau sebagai kakinya T-Rex]
Me: “How about to become like your mom?”
Him: “My mom is a teacher. She’s not working here”
Me: “Yeah, I know. I mean, you don’t want to be a teacher like your mom?”
Him: “No” [agak cuek karena tetap konsentrasi dengan T-Rex buatannya]
Me: “Why?”
Him: “Coz you won’t get fired”
Me: *shock* “Heh, fired..?? What do you mean? You want to get fired when you work?”
Him: “I mean, they don’t have break” [gak yakin maksudnya istirahat yang mana. Mommy, ini curhatan anakmu :D]
Me: *smiling on my face tapi LOL dalam hati. Buat dia supaya bisa ada waktu luang perlu “get fired” kali ya*rofl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Tiba-tiba ribut minta spidol untuk warnai tubuhnya T-Rex sambil ngomong “come on, you supposed to have green marker”, setelah gw bilang hanya punya spidol merah. Akhirnya stabilo hijau-pun jadi pilihan satu-satunya]
Me: “Hey ,you are so good in painting. Don’t you think to become a painter?”
Him: “No. it’s booorring [jawaban andalannya. Bahkan gw pun pernah dibilang boring >_<. all="" job="" is="" boring="" but="" compassion...awesoomme..=""></.>
Me: *smiling for the certain times* “Well, you are also so creative and smart. Why don’t you become a scientist?”
Him: “No. I like my job here”
Me: *kinda shocked and frowned* “You like your job here? What is it? [sambil flashback “kerjaannya apa ya? Kalo gak minta permen, ngumpulin permen lalu masukin ke toples gw. Lumayanlah”
[Pertanyaan yang tak digubris. But you might surprise with this one]
Him: “Compassion is the life” [dengan bangga dan tampang serius sambil mengangkat T-Rex yang hampir selesai]
Me: *silent and contemplating for a moment* “How about to become a president? The president of Indonesia!” [mata gw berbinar]
Him: “Oh, that’s awesome..” [mata gw tambah berbinar. Tuh kan, akhirnya…] “..but super lame” *gubrak* T_T
Me: “But he’s the leader….” [belum juga selesai berargumen, dia memotong]
Him: “Yeaah, but I don’t want to be a boss. It’s boring because they have to say this, say that.. they have to command everything” [kali ini dia yang tadinya duduk udah berdiri dan pake gaya nunjuk sana sini dengan tampang yang seolah berkata “duh, lu tuh bawel amat. Udah dibilang semua kerjaan boring”]
Me: …krriikk..krriikkk…krriikkk... [diselingi bendera putih]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Tiba-tiba….]
Him: “Why do you ask this question?” [gw kaget, sempat bingung mau jawab apa]
Me: “Nothing. I’m just curious”
Him: “oke” [seolah-olah gak ada yang terjadi, hufftt..]

Oh Zeki, you are super cute and determined! Well, at least gw tau, dia mengidolakan pekerjaan daddy-nya. So, daddy.. you have to be careful :). Mommy, please have my tissue :p (the words “get fired” masih terngiang nih and I can’t stop laughing) *rofl*
