Solid F: F untuk Fantastic, Fun, dan Foto yang Butuh Banyak Percobaan!
Ketika Solid F berkumpul dalam Reuni SSEAYP 1989 di Bali tahun 2015, suasana langsung berubah menjadi kombinasi antara reuni internasional, pertunjukan komedi, dan sesi pemotretan yang penuh tantangan. Dalam kelompok ini hadir Ayi dan Desri Sirin dari Indonesia, Ronica dari Brunei, serta Haridas dan Tang dari Malaysia. Mereka memang dikenal keren, tetapi yang lebih terkenal lagi adalah kemampuan mereka membuat semua orang tertawa tanpa perlu latihan terlebih dahulu.
Saat sesi foto dimulai, fotografer dengan optimis berkata, “Satu foto saja cukup.” Kalimat itu ternyata terlalu optimis. Ada yang berkedip, ada yang tertawa sebelum hitungan ketiga, ada yang mengangkat jempol terlalu cepat, dan ada yang masih sibuk memastikan apakah kameranya sendiri sudah siap memotret. Akibatnya, satu foto memerlukan beberapa kali pengambilan gambar dan lebih banyak tawa daripada arahan.
Haridas yang membawa kamera bahkan sempat bercanda bahwa tugas terberat bukan memotret pemandangan Bali, melainkan membuat seluruh anggota Solid F melihat ke arah yang sama dalam waktu bersamaan. Sementara itu, Tang terus tersenyum begitu lebar sehingga teman-temannya khawatir pipinya akan pegal sebelum acara selesai.
Ayi dan Desri menjadi pusat penghangat suasana dengan cerita-cerita lama SSEAYP yang semakin lama semakin lucu. Ronica dari Brunei berkali-kali tertawa hingga hampir lupa berpose karena setiap cerita selalu berakhir dengan kejadian yang lebih kocak dari sebelumnya.
Di balik semua kegembiraan itu, Solid F menunjukkan makna persahabatan yang sesungguhnya. Setelah lebih dari dua puluh lima tahun, mereka masih dapat berkumpul, saling menggoda, saling tertawa, dan tetap merasa seperti sahabat yang baru bertemu kemarin. Itulah mengapa huruf F tidak hanya berarti Fantastic, tetapi juga Forever Friends.

Solid F: F for Fantastic, Fun, and a Photo Session That Took More Than One Try!
When Solid F gathered at the SSEAYP 1989 Reunion in Bali in 2015, the atmosphere instantly became a mixture of an international reunion, a comedy show, and a highly entertaining photo session. The group consisted of Ayi and Desri Sirin from Indonesia, Ronica from Brunei, and Haridas and Tang from Malaysia. They were known for being cool and stylish, but even more famous for their ability to make everyone laugh without even trying.
When the group photo session began, the photographer confidently announced, “One picture should be enough.” That statement turned out to be wildly optimistic. Someone blinked at the wrong moment, someone started laughing before the countdown ended, someone gave a thumbs-up too early, and someone else was still checking whether their own camera was ready. As a result, taking a single photo required several attempts and generated far more laughter than instructions.
Haridas, who was carrying a camera, joked that photographing Bali’s beautiful scenery was easy compared to getting every member of Solid F to look in the same direction at exactly the same time. Meanwhile, Tang smiled so broadly throughout the session that his friends worried his cheeks might need a vacation afterward.
Ayi and Desri kept everyone entertained with old SSEAYP stories that somehow became funnier every year. Ronica laughed so hard at times that she nearly forgot to pose because every story seemed more ridiculous than the last.
Behind all the jokes and laughter was something truly meaningful. More than twenty-five years after SSEAYP 1989, they could still gather, tease one another, laugh together, and feel as if no time had passed at all. That is why the letter F stands not only for Fantastic, but also for Forever Friends.
