It's 1 am in the morning and I have a morning class in about six and a half hour.
So, malam ini aku lagi baca-baca blog karena awalnya gak bisa tidur. Sampai pada akhirnya aku menemukan sebuah kata.
OBSERVANT
Apa itu observant? Observant is someone who is good at noticing things, or someone who follows the rules and requirements of a particular religion. A person who always spots when you get a new haircut or a new outfit is an example of someone who is observant. (based on google). Jadi ingat sekitar 2 tahun yang lalu, waktu lagi ada acara gathering gitu, seorang "atasan" aku di organisasi itu cuma duduk dipojokan. Dia gak join ke grup manapun, padahal pada waktu itu, acara lagi rame banget! Ada yang akustikan, ada yang main games, atau mungkin cuma sekedar ngobrol in a small group of people. Lalu aku mikir, "ini orang introvert banget dah." and I started to wonder, what pictures did he get after observing the whole room?
Lalu pada suatu kesempatan, aku lupa lagi ngapain, tapi kalo gak salah dia kaya nanya gitu ke semua anggota, gimana impression kita setelah beberapa lama kerja bareng dia. Satu hal yang aku paling inget dari dia yaitu pada saat gathering itu. A little bit weird to see someone being alone in a room full of people. Masalahnya, aku tau bener, dia bukan orang nerd yang gak bisa gaul ngobrol sama semua orang. He could, he just didn't want to.
On my turn, I said that he's an observant. And he asked, "tau darimana?", aku bilang aja aku pernah ngegap dia lagi merhatiin semua orang waktu gathering. Surprisingly, he said, "berarti lo sama aja kaya gue San, suka merhatiin orang"
Iya sih... Maybe that is the reason why I like to go out by my own, so that I can observed thing more. I like to pay attention on the little detail. (but I never said that I am a detail-oriented person on my CV because.....lol long story) That is why, when things went wrong or it doesn't go the way it used to be, aku cepet banget ngehnya. Maybe I'm not the only one who has the ability, but I rarely see one. Contohnya: aku suka suspicious kalo barang di kamar berpindah, atau aku suka cepet tau kalo misalnya the person I'm talking to via text is not the real person. Get it? Misalnya lagi chatingan sama pacar, tapi ternyata yang bales adiknya, I'll know right away. Why? Maybe as my senior said, I am an observant.
Is it bad to be an observant? Not really. I mean, there is no perks of being one yet I haven't experienced the downside either. But I am enjoying it. I enjoy watching people; especially that. Human being is amazing. Maybe this is the reason why my pshycotest result when I was on 10th grade suggest me to take humanities study as my preference. I wonder what life would bring me if I take humanities study as my major. Probably I'll end up as an anthropologist one day.
Well, what do I know...
