#1: The Randomness of Pempek

Random things could really happen to me if I were bored. And when boredom meets one sudden crazy idea which suddenly flies above my head, then random things could suddenly happen. Its like when I suddenly went to Jakarta to do some kind of tv show audition (yes I know.. that is so freakin crazy and also embarissing) or when I drive my motorcycle to ciwidey with Erwin-the-bule-guy in my back seat (well, in this situation, I often switch with kak didit for some condition), and this next writing is going to be my randomness with pempek

One day I had this freakin' boring situation, a completely boring time.when everyone at the office has gone, there’s only me who left, it was 5 pm and suddenly I mind was flown into one memories in cimanggis (my pals house's) where at that time, my friend’s mothers who already back from wedding ceremonial, serves us a complete series of original palembang’s pempek unlimited!! Yes unlimited beyb!!. But the worse part is my stomach was already full, I didn’t have the chance to grab as many pempek as possible , but only small amount of it, but the taste is remain. It was.. the most delicious pempek ever!!  (and originally from Palembang!)

And after I past several super fast flashback moments (halah) , suddenly the crazy idea come up and unavoidable: I should really eat that originale pempek again! No matter what ever it takes!

Several ways to make my crazy idea come true, comes up in every braches of my brain cells ( Ok.. this is too much) those several idea are:
1.    Trying to call yosi –the most qualified Palembangnesee I’ve ever know--, if probably she has a chance to come to Bandung, but after I think again.. yosi is actually in Taiwan right now. So it’s not possible for her to just come up to Bandung to just buy me a pempek -> Failed
2.    Asks Zul!. Zul is actually my  new office mate, from the way he moves, I thinks he’s some kind of Sumatran and He is. But the bad thing is he’s not from Palembang, He’s from Riau, I’ve try to forced him (haha) to buy me pempek, but it’s not possible because it’s to far away.-->literally Failed
3.    Asks Ester, but she’s from medan, okey then, she’ll be in Jakarta at some times in September so I’ll asked her to buy me bolu meranti ! ->Become Plan B.
4.    Last and Desperately not least asks random person whom satus was always in palembangs in facebook to bring me some original pempek -> errr 50:50 possibility

Yah yah.. I know some of you probably think that I am totally out of my mind. Well I do think so. But this pempek things has totally driving me crazy!. So in one random night I send him a messege, asks if he’s really palembangnesee, will he return to Palembang in this Ied bIa..bla..blaa yes bla..bla..bla.. asks him if he mind if I want to buy the original pempek from him bla..bla..bla.., I also explain to him that I understand this pempek things should be sounds crazy to him since we haven’t know each other and bla bla bla.. and then he answer bla bla bla.. yes from Palembang.. bla bla bla.. but not directly from Palembang.. (err.. too bad) bla..bla.. bla.. I also asked yosi where she usually buy pempek for souvenirs. She mentions several places but the places that she mentions is not available in this guy place, but yosi convinced me that every pempek in Palembang is delicious. And I trust her, and so I told this guy to just buy anything that he think the most recommended pempek and I’ll buy it from him. and deal.

2 weeks later..
1 messeage received...

 I know I know.. many negative thought should comes up in your head right know, what if he doesn’t wants to, What if this guy is a liar, what if he’ll stole my money, what if he put something on the pempek that can make you stomachache, and all the negative ‘what if’ probability which probably  could happen during the process. I realize perfectly that worst things could really happen. But every decision will always have its own consequences right? So if one (or more) of those negative consequences happen, I won’t sorry to myself, because I already realize the consequences,  I know this is so freakin’ gambling situation, and if I failed, then I’ll just laugh..

Luckily I suceed hahaha!
