Itulah Bandung……

Ngomong2 soal kota Bandung, bikin saya yang udah puluhan tahun
tinggal di Bandung gatel pengen kasi tanggapan. Emang bener sih,
Bandung sekarang gak senyaman 30-40 tahun yll. Dulu cuaca di Bandung
adem kaya masuk ke pabrik es, masih 15-22º C, jalanan juga masing
lengang. Sekarang cuaca di Bandung udah kaya di pabrik krupuk yang
kompornya nyala terus. Normalnya sih antara 22-28º C, tapi kadang2
malem bisa sampe jigo derajat dan siang bisa sampe 30º, jalanan juga
macet di mana-mana.

Tapi anda-anda jangan nyalahin kota Bandung dong, kotanya kan gak
punya salah apa-apa. Yang salah ya orang-orangnya, bukan cuma orang
Bandung tapi juga orang dari luar Bandung terutama orang Jakarta yang
bikin Bandung jadi sumpek. Kalu week end, apalagi kalu ada libur
resmi hari Jum’at atawa Senin, orang Jakarta yang pada sumpek
kepanasan tumpek blek ke Bandung sekalian belanja dan cari makanan
yang aneh-aneh. Karuan jalanan yang udah padet jadi tambah bejubel
sama mobel leter B.

Hari biasa, kalu saya pulang kantor dari kawasan Bandung Timur ke
rumah di kawasan Bandung Utara yang jaraknya sekitar 20 km, paling
lama 45 menit udah sampe. Tapi pas week end, kalu bisa sampe rumah
1,5 jam aja udah bagus, biasanya sih sampe 2 jam. Malah pernah dulu
awal tahun 90an, waktu di Jakarta kantor2 diliburin 3 hari, anak saya
yang waktu itu masih SD pulang sekolah jam 12.00 baru sampe rumah jam
18.00, padahal jaraknya cuman 6 km. Sopirnya bisa turun dulu beli
nasi di warung buat “lunch”, beli kantong plastik buat “pipis”, dan
bisa mimpi dulu di dalem mobil.

Orang Jakarta yang berduit, bukan cuman week end saja ke Bandung,
tapi sekalian beli “rumah peristirahatan” juga, malah banyak yang
buat nyimpen “simpenannya”. Karuan permintaan rumah meningkat pesat,
yang langsung disamber sama pengusaha Real Estate buat bikin
perumahan baru, KKN dengan pejabat Kota Bandung supaya bisa babat
lahan hijau. Kawasan Bandung Atas sebagai daerah resapan air juga
diembatnya, dan laku keras bak kacang goreng. Pembelinya bangga sudah
bisa merusak kawasan hijau tanpa terjerat hukum.

Jelas Bandung jadi tambah panas, karena penduduk tambah padat,
berkurangnya lahan hijau dan padatnya lalu lintas yang memproduksi
CO2 terus menerus tanpa ada pohon-pohonan yang bisa meresapnya. Tapi
dibanding Jakarta yang panas dan sumpek, Bandung masih relatif nyaman
buat orang Jakarta. Jalanan di Bandung yang macet, buat orang Jakarta
masih enteng karena jalan-jalan di Bandung relatif pendek-pendek,
kalu macet pun cuman sebentar, gak kaya di Jakarta.

Kalau saya kebetulan tugas di Jakarta, pulang kantor dari kawasan
Sudirman menuju Pondok Indah yang relatif dekat, kalau bisa sampe ke
rumah dalam 2 jam aja udah bagus. Di Surabaya tempat bung Daniel H.T.
tinggal ya sama aja. Dulu akhir tahun 70an hampir tiap bulan saya
tugas ke Surabaya, naik pesawat dari Bandung jam 6.00 pagi, sebelum
jam 8.00 udah sampai di kantor di Jl.Sikatan. Sekarang, dari Bandara
Juanda ke pusat kota, perlu waktu 1,5 – 2 jam.

Factory Outlet (FO) di Bandung, dulu bener-bener murah dan bener-
bener barang sisa export yang di “reject” karena gak memenuhi
standard export. Hampir semua pemiliknya pengusaha Garment export.
Sekarang, FO cuman namanya doang, pemiliknya ya pedagang pakaian
jadi. Barang yang dijual, sebagian barang “BS” dari perusahaan
garment, sebagian lagi beli dari Pasar Baru di Jl.Oto Iskandardinata
atawa dari pusat textile murah di Cigondewa.

T shirt yang di Pasar Baru atawa Cigondewa dijual Rp.20.000 per 3
potong, di FO dijual dengan harga Rp.50 – 80 ribu per potong dengan
discount 10-20%, soalnya pembeli pengennya dibohongin pake discount.
Supaya keliatan berkelas, T-shirt nya dikasi karton dan dibungkus
plastik tebal. Celana bermerk “aspal” yang oleh pedagang kaki lima di
depan BIP dijual Rp.30-50 ribu per biji, di FO dijual dengan
harga “discount” Rp.100-150 ribu. Supaya keliatan bergengsi, FO nya
dibikin mewah dan ber AC. Kalu beli langsung di Pasar Baru atawa
Cigondewa, pembeli merasa turun gengsi.

Kalu gitu FO pada nipu? Enggak juga, FO kan gak maksa anda, anda
sendiri yang kurang jeli. Mau beli baju yang harganya lebih pantas,
cari aja di Jl.Cihampelas, karena tanpa AC dan bangunannya gak mewah,
mereka jual barang lebih murah dari FO. Kalu yang mau bener-bener
murah ya itu tadi, di Pasar Baru lantai dasar atawa di Cigondewa.

Mau beli sepatu, sandal, tas, sabuk, dan bahan2 dari kulit atawa
imitasi? Cari aja di Cibaduyut, disitu pusatnya. Kalu jeli, anda bisa
dapat jaket kulit asli seharga cepeceng sampe pegoceng, yang di FO
bisa dijual sampe gopeceng lebih. Teman saya dengan bangga nunjukkin
sepatu bowling dari kulit seharga Rp.2,5 juta yang dibeli di toko
alat2 bowling. Saya bikin dari kulit asli di tukang sepatu di
Cibaduyut yang persis sama dengan punya teman saya, hanya Rp.125
ribu. Tas wanita juga banyak di Cibaduyut, tapi kalu mau sedikit
bergengsi cari di Toko Tas di Jl.Ciateul dekat Jl.Oto Iskandardinata.

Mau cari tas wanita bermerk yang asli? Ya jangan cari di FO di
Bandung, cari di agen resminya dong. Masa tas asli yang di negeri
asalnya dijual lebih dari $ 600 mau beli dengan harga Rp.3 jutaan di
FO di Bandung? Yang bener aja lah. Tapi sebenarnya buat apa sih pake
merk asli segala? Toh orang yang liat belum tentu tahu dan belum
tentu percaya kalu itu barang asli. Kalu percaya pun sebenernya apa
manfaatnya sih? Orang Indonesia memang sering aneh-aneh kalu udah
berurusan sama gengsi.

Makanan di Bandung juga banyak yang aneh-aneh yang jarang ada di kota
lain, tersebar dari warung kaki lima sampai restoran bintang lima.
Baso tahu dan batagor ada di mana-mana. Serabi dari yang polos maupun
ditambah o­ncom, keju, kornet, susu, atau daging sambil minum bandrek
atau bajigur tersedia di Jl.Setiabudi dekat NHI. Mie baso dari yang
bener2 halal sampai yang dihalal-halalkan juga tersebar hampir di
semua jalan utama. Mau coba nangka goreng? cari di Jl.Supratman. Mau
coba makanan dari ular? Ada di Jl.Terusan Pasteur. Soal harga,
semuanya pien yi lah asal jangan beli gengsi.

Yang doyan makanan Eropa, gak usah khawatir, ada di mana-mana, dari
yang ceban seporsi sampai ceban sekali gigit juga ada. Chinese food
restaurant, dari yang kaki lima sampai bintang lima juga ada, asal
jangan kaget kalu seporsi musti bayar ratusan ribu rupiah. Mau
makanan tradisional Sunda yang bergengsi juga ada, sambil melihat
pemandangan yang masih asri di Bandung Atas dekat Lembang.

Bandrek dan bajigur yang dijual emang-emang dipinggir jalan Rp.1.000
segelas, disini cuma dijual ceban segelas. Sate sapi plus lontong
yang dijual mbok-mbok Rp.2.500 / 10 tusuk, disini juga dijual sama
Rp.2.500, tapi per tusuk. Semua dijamin benar-benar tradisional
karena penjualnya betul-betul asli. Emang-emang dan mbok-mbok
penjualnya memang sengaja diangkut kesitu. Mereka cuma nyediain
tempatnya doang.

Kalu malam hari di Bandung mau makan, cari di Jl.Gardujati, Cibadak,
dan Astana Anyar, segala macam makanan ada disitu tinggal pilih. Tapi
harganya jangan anggap enteng, kadang-kadang gak kalah sama restoran
yang sedang-sedang aja, bahkan bisa lebih mahal. Jangan kira pedagang
kaki lima yang jualan disitu hidupnya pas-pasan, mereka banyak yang
kaya. Yang jualannya laku, semalem omzetnya bisa dapet Rp.3 – 4
juta, dengan keuntungan bersih bisa > 50%. Ini udah nyaingin gaji
Direktur atawa pedagang menengah.

Itulah Bandung, yang dengan segala kesemerawutannya tetap menjadi
tujuan week end orang-orang Jakarta untuk berbelanja dan cari makanan
enak. Apalagi dengan dibukanya tol Cipularang, yang dari Jakarta bisa
ditempuh hanya dalam tempo 1,5 – 2 jam saja, kemacetan jalan-jalan di
Bandung bertambah parah saat week end. Barang2 sandang di Bandung
memang murah-murah, tapi anda harus jeli memilihnya.

when you say,
i love you,
what do you actually mean by that?
love…
can be described as many different things
when you love someone,
quiet often
desire would grow inside you
to have her /him as yours
think about it one more
must you call someone you love as yours?
must you force yourself and hurt your soul
because of love?
love..
doesn’t mean to have

when you love someone
let her / him be happy
maybe it is painful
but sooner or later
she will understand
about the feeling
you have towards her
and you can still love her/him
even without having her / him
love..is often paniful but that depends on how you face it…..
