3. cari cara bikin orang merasa apa yang kita rasa

4. cari cara bikin orang tidak rasa lapar ketika makanan telat datang

5. cari cara bikin orang berpikir segalanya mungkin

6. cari cara bikin orang tidur lebih cepat

7. cari cara bikin orang turut aturan

8. cari cara bikin orang tidak rasa kantuk

9. cari cara bikin orang bermain ketika sedang tidak ingin

10. cari cara bikin diri sendiri tidak lelah dan tetap tersenyum ketika sedang susah...



Memang susah tapi, ketika diingat2 semuanya bikin senang!

Hahahahahahahah.....

Kangen Steak ATAW tahu, tempe, dan makan nasi sama ikan asin plus sambel

28th November 2008
Gimana rasanya mau pergi ke brazil untuk 6 bulan? Kurang lebih rasanya seperti nyidam steak outback dan nasi plus ikan asin in the same time.



Dave tasted this with me when he picked me up in the MC office and drove me to the airport. Very nice conversation during the trip to airport gives more energy and big hope that my steak will dream come true very soon!
Gimana dengan ikan asin? The fact that ikan asin is just a dream and I need to postpone my brain to think about this now.
Let’s think about good work, good friendship, goyang samba, Monte Christo, Copacabana, and hidup yang lebih sehat!
There was no big difference in the airport. No difference in the layout of check in desk, fiscal checking point, immigration desk, money changer stall, and also the gate.
My first substitute of ikan asin (my treasure) is the video of safety procedure from South African Airlines (they really have sense of humor). Video safety procedure with really funny cartoon!
So Funny!! Enjoy new thing is better that ikan asin once in a while.
(Assumption: imparallelism is not really big problem for myself right now!? I hope it is ok for all readers)

a piece of fraction from reflection time (7th November 2011)

Closing my eyes, I see my life there, as a two-open hand full with lively loose black soil of earth in the middle of savanna, my home country. Life scenes have passed by and remarked on me and on the savanna life. I am the witness and the acquiescent of the great life. From during a dark night with thunderstorm to during a bright full day, I was there and I will be there to give myself.

In specific occasions, the wind blows me to see world and experience the smooth dessert in Africa, the snowy land in winter-China, the humid and challenging Amazon forest in Brazil. Along with the time I were seeing and experiencing them, I saw my past, my present, and my future emerged; more importantly, I have seen my life and my future evidently.

(a day in my "penitentiary", which makes me stronger and stronger)

random thoughts

Unbridled moment of time, I have lost a lot of chances and speed to move forward. Usually I restrain all sets of actions and think about each of its consequences and yet I haven't understood why I lose myself badly. I must to admit that what my friend, Nick, said about the world is differentiating what we want and what we can get is real, as real as world price is going down lately, believably unbelievable thing.

The sounds of Adam Smith are getting clearer in my head, as if he whisper me, there are invisible hands controlling things on earth including prices, supply, demand, and my brain capacity in one of it. Not exactly in the parallel line with price, supply, demand thingy but more in the realm of Almighty hands thingy. All these hands steer and maneuver incredibly beautiful and eloquent until the human effort are banished in the complexity of its stream and evaporated, gone.

The mirth of achievement is going away step by step until I can't see it but I still have abundant ammunitions to get the perfection someday. My family enchantment is gone; they are changing to be a pessimist because of my failure consecutive attacks. Never mind, I still have the energy to ignite the fire of passion and pull the ardent back. I will not live in a woe for forever, just an ancient people said, "the groan, moan, and grumble just pull you back from the success point in the front of your step"

kisah pendek2 JCO MTA

Udah 3 jam gw duduk di JCO MTA pada hari Sabtu yang super rame banget. Ditemani temarang2 lampu cafe JCO yang redup, gw duduk di kursi yang paling ok posisinya, di paling kiri deket tembok menghadap kasir, tepat ditengah mepet tembok ga terlalu dalem, ga terlalu luar pokoknya pas! sepas coffee lattenya yang lagi gw minum ga pake gula karena males ambil akibat lupa ambil pas bayar dan keburu duduk di kursi dengan alat2 elektronik buku bertebaran, yah tau lah takut laptop kesamber maling lagi!


Ini udah ketiga kalinya pengunjung di sebelah kursi gw ganti, dari mulai ibu2 ganjen yang ngudud mulu sampe bikin rambut gw bau bako, mpe terakhir ni pasangan yang cabul abis megang2 paha pasangannya mulu, diusap2 sambil megang jari2 pacar cewenya. Hi... geli. (antara geli pengen dan geli jijik!) Ga kuat gw ngeliatnya jadi deh gw tumpahkan aja di dalam kotak blog ini dari pada di kloset kamar mandi (lagi2 kejauhan kalo harus ke kamar mandi, dan lagian gw tau banget kalo toilet di Mall Taman Anggrek aka MTA ga ada airnya! Hii.. paling males!)


Diseberang gw ada juga cewe berambut panjang yang sendirian megang2 laptopnya sambil senyum2 sendiri. (jangan2 gw diliat orang lain seperti itu juga ya! Wah kacau juga ya!) Btw coffee latte gw tinggal sepertiga dan gw udah mulai muak dengan bau Donat khas JCO, tumpukan ragi ngembang bareng gula tipis dan mentega. Tuh JCO banget! juga warna coklatnya yang bikin mata gw lama2 jadi kuning kalo ngeliat orang. Sepertinya gw harus cari spot internet baru yang lebih menarik dan ga ada bau DONAT!!!!

City of love, courtesy, and leisure

The biggest and the massive celebration of Ied, one of sacred and unique tradition of Islam has reached its way. Everybody whose attached to this event and all people who urgently need holiday get in a rush, packed, stored all the present for family and beloved friends, and stand in the long line for bus ticket, with the only vision, to reach home, to hug the relative, to relax, eventually to celebrate a big day. Fortunately I have clustered as one of people who pulled by the stream and the intension to feel a catharsis can not be hold anymore. Grabbed my books and wait in the long line of traffic to come back home.
Dangling in the uncomfortable situation at the middle of minivan bus, with the back of the chair oscillating constantly, I ignore the fact it was disturbing the passenger on my back. It can't be helped at all and the constant movement make me feel asleep and finally the unconsciousness peeped and I lost my world.
Just right before arrived at the terminal, I set all clear to my dad so he could pick me up and yes finally I arrived in Bandung, my lovely home town with cool humid air, soft wind flow and touch the skin gently, with usual narrow street and all trees in the pavement along the street, with the slower movement of people was walking, and with many punk style and dandy style street seller were waiting customers to approach them. Yes this is the city of love, courtesy, and leisure.
Can't wait to spend the entire holiday in this beautiful environment.

Discovery from the Realm of Life

Today is just perfect to share the treasure of my life. It has been a long time since I sat and wrote something down in this small box to share thought with this world. Moving on eloquently without any halt even for a second, the world is still as astound as it is 2000, 3000, 4000 years, you name it. For me, the last three months has become a giant pit stop from all activities under name "change the world", "do something different", "make a change", "all good words to do". Even tough I planned to do things like that, for sure damn not easy.
The realm of my life was shaken and I feel challenged but in the other hand I feel jabbered by too many uncertain things, such as series of interviews from some companies, from which I had never even thought about before, Brazil, China, India, Germany. Gee... life it's so vibrant these days. More than that, 1000 tests in front of me, everyday the test keep test me and I test my patient to just sit and do it. Hrrgghhh... I don't know when it will end. One day for sure. I hope that day, I still have patient resource for the rest of my life.
Besides all these things, I discover life better and better, explore relationship with family. All of them are getting better. The more I spend my time with them virtually and physically, I can feel how my family love me, my dog love me, and how I love 'em. It is just splendid. They always be there in my misery, in my rage, and in my zest.
I wish life doesn't fly too fast to make them gone and disappeared from my sight or crawl too slow until I just get bored by even glancing on them. Today is just perfect, the rhythm, the nuance, the weather, and the love from people I live with. More over, I know what I am heading for, I know what I want, I am waiting for it, I feel free, but restrained and firmed by the fact that I am being loved and I loved the people beside me, the place, the surrounding, and the world. It is still super ok because we are moving together hand by hand with.

The Solitary depleted my productivity of life

The life cascade has been derived from the way mind flowing and how the surroundings react. That is what I felt lately. I keenly welcome the new things to come and stirred up by any offers, in the other hand the pressure to accomplish several tests thrust my excitement away. Somehow I thought it is awry for being in the unprecedented realm.

Maybe at the end, I just deliberate too much with myself..

When the police stop you...

Just right in the gallop of Jakarta traffic, try to find the shortest way to WTC Building. I took the U-turn in the cross road fountain and the police stopped me abruptly, then I halt my car, ask the reason why he stopped me and when I wanted to explain, the other police (one man with military uniform) revealed me by saying that my father is his colleague, which the truth is not. What the hell things happen everyday and sometime what the heaven things happen. Nonetheless I’m not sure which one is happened today.

Who am I? Butterfly or Caterpillar?

Once upon a time, there is a "caterpillar's mom alias butterfly" gave a birth of thousand baby caterpillar eggs in one of medium sunkist tree. Unfortunately mom flew away after gave birth because she was overwhelmed with the wings that she has.

After a while, the thousand of baby caterpillar eggs broke and they were spreading as caterpillar. From thousand of baby caterpillars, there is one caterpillar, her name is Molly 1000. She has 999 brothers and sisters. They grew together in a medium sunkist tree.

Since she was born, Molly 1 until Molly 999 always say that she is very tiny and small, and because all 999 siblings said so, she thinks that way. She always walk down very slow and eat dead leaves. She feel underachieve rather than all 999 siblings who always find better leave to eat.

One day she decided to leave the sunkist tree and live in other tree to avoid all her siblings because she feel ashame and can not compete with all her siblings. She was staying there for months alone, did her metamorphosis process there and still there for months there.

One day, when she was eating a leaf from the tree where she was staying, she met a lady bug with black spot in her red wings who always visit the tree in the morning. The lady bug feel confuse with Molly 1000 and they she asked, "I just confuse, do you stay here everyday?" Molly 1000 said, "Yes I'm staying here almost 5 months, I can't stand live with all my brothers and sisters, they said that I'm slow catterpillar and I feel so heavy with my own body and I realize that I'm really slow so I'm staying here far a way from them"

The lady bug, feel so shock and asked again, "Hmm... Molly 1000, do you know that since I met you three months ago in this tree you are not caterpillar? , As far as I remember I met you as butterfly, maybe you think you are caterpillar, that's why you should carried your wings as burden" You are beautiful Molly 1000 and you are here to make a world even more wonderful why you must think that way? USE YOUR WINGS and BE THE BEAUTY of the WORLD, don't stay here and think all things bad.

Catastrophe in the Middle East: Movement of minority voices

Nuclear weapon and development has become a fancy excuse for attacking other country. The climate in the political room has increased since US has supported Israel to be an independent country which is acknowledged by the world. Lately it raises the voice to start the movement to attack Iran? Will it happen?
Not eligible power has become stronger and stronger, then it starts claim and judge the official country for the nuclear development as a reason. What is the real thing going on? Or it is just a real hoax?

FPI-sovereignity of religion: sound of guerilla-fighters

say something right could be ended in the elite coffin or ended with a massive political demonstration and riot. Such a mess world when the just and firm are no longer a standard of living. We use the religion for finding a just and peace among human and we have lost on the way, can we find the way back?

The political organization, Front Pembela Islam (FPI) which has been mobilized based on religion attacked another organization which struggle for the humanity and the freedom of believe. Thus a citizen who felt hatred with this incident broke down their sign board, as revenge they sweep the masses with violence attack. Such an ironic phenomenon.

This is the nowhere ends. Let's find the way back to peace.

Marriage: an intention or a mechanism of living?

Majority of people in this world will have at least once a weeding ceremony in their life. A marriage is an important step of life that humans choose to continue their existence. Therefore it has become the human agenda and become a pattern of living for society in any circumstances. In fact it is a probability of million scenarios which a person can select and ideally it is driven 100% by the intention.

A person who is driven by 100% the intention to build a family will give all his effort to keep his family lives and gets along together and he will allocate time as much as he can for his family. Although several people get distracted in life, they shift their focus to something else, and finally they abandon their family, but a marriage without intention will have more probability to get divorce than a marriage with intention from both sides.

In most of community which implement traditional values will force young people in their society to follow the norm and rules which have internalized. They are strongly suggested to get married in certain age and if they don’t have a person to whom they will be married, this community will held the social activities to enforce the relationship and ensure their child are being matched with the person who meet their standard and criteria. This kind of environment has created a mechanism of living and eliminated the fact that marriage is an option in life.

Every choice has its consequences and every people have his right to choose. The role as grandparent, parent, child, sibling, relative, or friend has its own responsibility, but it must not force and eliminate the options that a mature person has such as, marriage, job, career, hobby, opinion, and religion, because human has been created to make his own decision and to have his own life which is driven by his vision that can keep their life alive.

Nobody Stupid????

In every school and educational institution we can acknowledge and differentiate student performance by their ranks. People literally categorize smartness by this rank, but this is contradicting with the statement which explains that nobody in this world is stupid.

In the process of learning we acknowledge some people with higher capacity of brain can get understand faster than other people. This is because their brain cells have grown extensively than people who just have normal brain cells. This growth is determined by the vitamin and food consumption during brain cells development.

The people who have normal brain cell can get understand and get the same level of achievement by putting more effort and time. In this case consistency and persistency have become the major factor of success for the people with normal brain cell. This attitude is known as emotional quotient.

Thus, smartness can not be categorized by the rank because the rank is represent the result which generate by brain capacity and various efforts from student and more importantly that smartness can not guarantee a person to be successful. It is truly depend on how deep a person knows his capacity and how persistent a person achieves better and better result in life.
