Kemarin aku dapat sms, "Having cocktail on the beach in cannes..want to join me?"
What a great sentence!! As you know, cocktail kb. minuman keras (dengan wiski, jin, rum, dsb). tomato juice c air tomat. shrimp c udang berkuah disajikan di gelas kecil. c. lounge ruang minum di hotel atau di gedung perkumpulan. c. party pesta cocktail yang biasa diadakan waktu sore (Echols, 1975:122).
Cannes, the harbour, the bay, Le Suquet hill, the beachside promenade, and the sun-worshippers on the beach provide more than enough natural beauty to make Cannes worth at least a day trip. It's also fun watching the rich drop their money with such fashionable nonchalance. Cannes is renowned for its many festivals, the most famous being the International Film Festival during two weeks in mid-May. Visitors come to Cannes all year long, but the main tourist season runs from May to October (www.lonelyplanet.com).
Terbayang senja yang menakjubkan saat pesan itu terbaca di layar handphoneku. Dan sekali lagi harus kukatakan, what a great sentence!! Kenapa? Bukan keindahan Cannes yang menggiurkan, maupun ajakan luar biasa yang sepatutnya dilontarkan padaku senja itu. Tapi sekali lagi aku bilang, "What a great sentence!!" karena Cannes jauh sekali..sejujurnya bahkan sangat-sangat jauh untuk menumbuhkan setitik keberanian di dada selapang itu.
