Birthday Card from My Lesbian

On a sunny Sunday morning (24/3), Martha and I was working on Kineforum. I was as infodesk and she was working on Indonesian Movie Poster exhibition. I came to her just for looking around the exhibition area, because I was so bored on the infodesk. 

and in the exhibition, I found a bunch of art postcards. Its limited postcards which had made by Gambar Selaw community. 

Whilst I was looking for the postcard, Martha came to me. Then said, "Alfi, pick one as you like, its as your birthday present."

"Oh really??" asked me so happy.

She was nodding.

and I said, "No, please pick one up for me, choose one that you like."

and after saying that, I went back to my desk.  *endconversation*

and today (4/4), I met Martha in the corridor at my campus. 

"Alfi, wait! I have something for you. I have choose the postcard that I like."

"Why??" I asked her with a confused face. 

"Umm, yesterday I went to a bookstore, and I saw a bunch of postcards, and suddenly it reminded me of you. So, I just bought it for you." answered Lira with big smile :)

wow, I was surprised, I mean, my birthday is still few weeks later, but she had already give me a present. You might think its simple thing. But not for me, it means more than simple. Its kind of the real friendship is. before this, Lira have sent me a Christmas card, here.  

Lira, thank you so much for remembering me, thanks for being there, for share things that we had in IKSI.

sincerely, your grumpy classmate,
Alfi

Kartu Natal dari Lira Widayat

tidakkah ini manis sekali?

Berawal dari obrolan ringan di kelas Sastra Lisan, saya dan Lira sepakat untuk saling mengirim kartu natal via pos. Anehnya, saya duluan yang kirim Lira kartu natal, tapi malah kartu Lira yang sampai duluan ke saya.

Aneh, Pak Pos ini.

manis kan? pernahkah kalian mendapat kartu natal yang dikirimkan melalui pos dari teman sekelas Anda?

Walaupun kami setiap hari bertemu, hal ini sungguh manis. :)

Silakan mencoba!

Salam hangat, 

Alfi Yusrina

Selamat Natal 2011!
