Asisten, Pengobat Hati dan Punggung

Kali ini tugas bercerita tentang asisten, yang dioper oleh mbak Yanti. Maaf ya, mbak, lama buanget baru disetor nih :)

Di rumah besar

Sewaktu aku masih kecil, keluarga kami punya dua asisten. Tak selalu dua, terkadang satu. Entah kenapa begitu, aku tak pernah bertanya. Yang pasti, asisten selalu menginap di rumah. Ada kamar khusus yang disediakan bagi mereka.

Hanya 1 pengalaman paling membekas dengan adanya kehadiran asisten di rumah: aku pernah ditempeleng oleh salah satu mbak itu. Entah kenapa, aku tak begitu ingat. Dasar bocah, ketimbang mengadu ke ibu aku malah diam. Takut.

Tak banyak yang kuingat, karena menjelang akhir tahun 1990 kami pindah ke rumah mungil ini. Rumah di utara Jakarta itu disita oleh bank karena ayah tak mampu membayar hutang yang ditinggalkan oleh rekan usaha yang menipunya.

Happy Breastfeeding Week!

I hope it’s not very late to announce this.

HAPPY WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK, mommies!

The theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2006 is "Code watch: 25 years of protecting breastfeeding".

According to the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (the organizers of the week), over 60 countries have legislated all or many provisions of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (the Code), which regulates the marketing of breastmilk substitutes. The week will celebrate this success and draw attention to the work still needed to improve breastfeeding practices worldwide.

World Breastfeeding Week is coordinated every year by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) to commemorate the Innocenti Declaration, to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.

World Breastfeeding Week was first celebrated in 1992. Now it involves over 120 countries and is endorsed by UNICEF, WHO and FAO.

Off to Solo

Yellow, folks! We’re going off to Solo and staying there for about 2 weeks. So don’t mind me if I didn’t respond to your comments properly.

Registered users can comment as usual (no spamming please, guys, and keep your trash in your pocket, don’t litter here :mrgreen: ) And first attendees should be more patient since your comments might be held on moderation much longer than usual, since we don’t have internet connection at home there.

Newer post(s) than this will be the work of scheduled job (thanks to WP-cron future ping). There. You don’t have to wonder how diligent I am to keep posting from afar in my vacation :mrgreen:
Enjoy my leaving. If you don’t, I will enjoy mine, however. My… How I miss my parents in-law.
