Buku 3: Simfoni Cinta (Melintas Samudra)

Nah buku ke-3 ini tidak bisa dibilang sepenuhnya teen-lit, karena ceritanya bersambung sampai masa kuliah. Format ceritanya lain daripada yang lain karena memakai sistem pagelaran simfoni orkestra (dikelarkan akhir tahun 2006 saat saya lagi getol membuang dollar buat nonton konser-konser musik klasik yang super mahal ataupun yang gratisan di almamater, National University of Singapore).

Apakah hubungan jarak jauh membuat prestasi belajar anjlok? Sepertinya memang begitu kenyataannya. Untunglah, si kembar Deni dan Yosef, kakak kelas SMP Nana justru memilih mengambil beasiswa ke Singapura. Mungkinkah cinta lama bersemi kembali?

Sementara itu tawaran Phil, sang doi tidak main-main. Ia menyuruh Nana menyusulnya, kuliah di Amerika dan menikah! Antara cinta dan cita-cita, pilih mana? Dan anehnya, permainan nasib justru membuat saingan cinta malah bersahabat karib. Loh kok bisa?

Bagaimanakah akhir petualangan pencarian cinta Nana si Schoolaholic?

Jawabannya, happy end! Intinya, tidak usah pusing-pusing, kalau jodoh ya pasti ketemu, kan sudah diatur Tuhan hehehe =D Cuma masalahnya dalam perjuangannya juga berat. Itu namanya hidup!

3rd Book: Love Symphony (Across the Ocean)

This 3rd book can't be categorized as fully teen-lit, as the story continues to university time. The format of the story is different because I use a system derived from symphony orchestra show (finished written by end of 2006 when I was crazily spending dollar for going to super expensive classical music concerts or the free ones in my almamater, National University of Singapore).

They said long distance relationship cause a drop in academic achievement? It seems so for Nana. Fortunately, the twin Deni & Yosef, her senior in Junior High chose to take the scholarship to Singapore. Can it be rekindling old flames?

Meanwhile, Phil's offer, is not just a play. He asked Nana to go to the States, study there, and get married! Between love and passion (what you want to be), which want would you choose? Strangely, the game of destiny even makes those love competitors to be best friends. How come?

How would the end be in this adventure of Nana, the Schoolaholic in finding love?

The answer is happy ending! In summary, there is no need to get headache, if it is meant to be, you will find it, as God has determined everything haha =D The problem is just when we have to fight for it, it is hard. That is life!

Sinopsis Buku 2: Romansa Singapura

Buku ke-2 itu seperti judulnya, urusannya mulai bukan hanya pelajaran sekolah, tapi juga tekanan teman-teman yang mengajak pacaran!

Selepas SMP, dunia Nana sudah tidak sesederhana sebelumnya. Ketika karantina lomba Covergirl di Singapura, Nana malah bertemu cowok impiannya, Phil, yang persis Ryu Akira, tokoh idolanya.

Sonny, teman dari TK memintanya menjadi pacarnya. Demikian juga Frans dan Budi – dua cowok pemenang Coverboy. Rudy menyodorkan koran yang mengiklankan beasiswa ke Singapura saat Nana mulai menikmati kehidupan baru anak SMA dengan sohib barunya, Inge.
Nana berharap, jika ia berhasil mendapatkan beasiswa itu, ia bisa lari dari tiga cowok yang menembaknya dan bisa bertemu kembali dengan Phil. Tapi ternyata, si kembar Deni-Yosef juga menyukai Nana, walau Yosef memutuskan untuk mengalah.

Semula Nana mengira sahabat SMP-nya Dian, menaksir si kembar. Dan si Novi, sahabat dari SD menyukai Rudy. Ternyata itu salah! Sudah lama Dian naksir berat sama si Rudy dan si Novi justru kesengsem sama Oliver. Upaya Nana menjadi mak comblang gagal total. Baik Rudy maupun Oliver, dua-duanya menyukai Nana!

Phil memang bukan orang biasa. Dan dia juga serius sama Nana!

2nd Book: Singapore's Romance

As the title specifies, the second book is not merely school lessons, but also peer pressures asking Nana to date him!

After Junior High, Nana's world was not as simple as before. During Covergirl competition's quarantine in Singapore, Nana met her dream man, Phil, who looks like Ryu Akira, her idol.

Sonny, her friend from kindergarten asked her to be his girlfriend. So were Frans & Budi, the winners of Coverboy. Rudy gave her a newspaper cutting about scholarship to Singapore when Nana started to enjoy her new life as a Senior High School student with her new best friend, Inge. Nana hoped, if she managed to get the scholarship, she could run from three boys who asked her to be their girl friend. However, the twin Deni-Yosef also liked her, although Yosef decided to give in to his twin brother.

At first, Nana thought her Junior High best friend, Dian, liked the twin. And Novi, her best friend from Primary School liked Rudy. But she was wrong! Dian had long fallen for Rudy and Novi liked Oliver. Nana's effort to matchmake totaly failed. Both Rudy and Oliver, liked Nana!

Phil wasn't an ordinary guy. And he's also serious with Nana!

Sinopsis Buku 1: Pangeran-Pangeran SMP

Dari pengalaman pribadi + adik2 + temen2...

Mau tahu rahasia sukses di sekolah, tapi masih tetap punya banyak waktu bersenang-senang? Anggaplah dirimu seperti seorang putri dan sekolahmu adalah kerajaanmu. Masa sih?

Juara umum sekolah itu kan pasti berkacamata tebal, kuper, dan tidak enak dipandang? Nana Sutedja, seorang bintang dari SMP Bintang Emas membuktikan bahwa anggapan semacam itu sama sekali tidak benar. Nana itu cantik, trendi, populer, bintang pesta, dan punya banyak pengagum. Hidupnya dikelilingi pangeran-pangeran tampan pula!

Siapa bilang juara umum sekolah pasti anak alim dan disayang guru? Nana itu cewek jahil – suka mengerjai orang, hobi membolos sekolah, tergila-gila pada tokoh komik yang cakep, dan sering mendapat masalah dengan guru!

From my own experience + my sisters' + my friends'

Nana is a pretty, trendy, popular, party girl and she has plenty fans. Her life is surrounded by handsome princes some more!

Who said School No. 1 must be clean dutiful student loved by teachers? Nana is naughty, loves playing a trick to people, her hobby is playing truant, she is mad about a handsome character in comics, and often gets in trouble with teachers!

Konfirmasi Penerbitan

Yuhu, minggu lalu Penerbit Andi @ Yogyakarta telah mengkonfirmasi akan menerbitkan tiga buku serial Schoolaholic ini, unlike alm. Penerbit Cinta yang minta di-squeeze 3-in-1 (emang lalu lintas? hehe)

Adik-adikku sampai marah pas denger tawaran dari alm Penerbit Cinta itu... Mereka sangat tidak rela karena menurut mereka (sampai mata 1 watt baca begitu aku selesai nge-print first draft saking asyiknya): Cerita sebagus ini, bisa nunggu produser buat dibikin serial! Enak aja kalau disqueeze! *huehehehe*

Inilah judul serial Schoolaholic (working titles from me, most likely Penerbit tidak akan mengganti)

1. Schoolaholic Princess 1; Pangeran-Pangeran SMP
2. Schoolaholic Princess 2; Romansa Singapura
3. Schoolaholic Princess 3; Simfoni Cinta Melintas Samudra

Buku pertama basically isinya cerita sesungguhnya dari my sisters (Riana, Mayrinna, Martha Rinna) plus cerita diriku sendiri waktu bersekolah di Indonesia (plus cerita kejadian di kelas / sekolah kami). Jadi ini nostalgia banget. Makin dibaca, makin demen (kata adik-adik) karena isinya memang bikin ketawa, sebel, atau terkenang masa lalu *huehehhe, sentimentil banget*

Buku kedua, itu purely K-drama banget! Waktu kutulis di rumah baru (PK = PaKuningratan), aku lagi demen banget nonton drama Korea... plus waktu itu, aku kangen sama suasana tertib di Singapura (not anymore! Sekarang lagi sebel sama yang namanya Singapore, terutama Changi Airport dan antrean taxi. Masa aku semalem mendarat almost midnite, antre taxi sampai 45 mins, kagak ada trolley buat bagasi. Officers ditanya jawabnya: Trolley is not under our control!). Anyway, let me warn you: tokoh keren di buku ke-2 bakal bikin hati kebat-kebit (heuehehe karena memang fantasi banget, tokoh khayalan paling keren yang pernah saya bikin).

Buku ketiga sih memuaskan karena happy ending. Jadi tidak merasa sia-sia telah mengikuti perkembangan si tokoh utama dari SMP sampai menemukan cintanya (CLBK, bocoran).

diundur deh (postponed)

Sorry for not updating. Be very busy with work.

Penerbit Cinta di Bandung tutup (closed down for good). Thank God that I haven't agreed fully to publish this series with them :)

So I am offering this to other publisher and still pending their management's decision. Anyway, this series is going to be published sooner or later :)

Coming Soon!

Who says a straight A student is a boring girl? She's pretty, she's fun, and surrounded by a lot of princes (charming and not-so-charming)! Her adventure starts in her hometown, Jakarta before she goes international (incidentally) to Singapore and Korea! And she lives happily ever after with her Prince Charming! (bocoran, happy ending nih ceritanya!)

Schoolaholic Princess is coming! (Date: To-be-advised)

Cheers,

your fellow Schoolaholic,

XOXO
