on Samuel Mulya

I often read Samuel Mulya's article on Kompas Sunday edition. His writing usually 'pinch' someone or something, yet inspiring. He dare to show what was his thought through his writing, and didn't hesitate to admit his nasty attitude.
Today, I read an old magazine that has several men's comment on women's problem. The problem was: a single mother whose falling in love to a married man with children.
When most other comments seem to softly persuading the mother to leave the man or to carefully listen to the heart, Samuel Mulya told the mother to checked the man's EQ and IQ, and also told the mother to take her child for better education, so the child wouldn't have to follow the mother's step.
Sam, you rock!!!

...my night

Here I am, stucked in the Jakarta's night traffic jam, I decided to stop by at my ussual place in Bakti to have a plate of fried rice for the dinner.
After standing for a while, watching a man prepared the fried rice for other customer and ordered my new customize fried rice, I took a seat.
There they are, seated in front of me a young couple, ate their fried rice in silince. The boy had finished its fried rice first while the girl still enjoyed her fried rice.
Suddenly, without any command, the girl moved her full of fried rice's spoon to the boy's mouth, which instantly open....
....
I'm still amazed how love can easier people to communicate
(or it should be the other way around ya?)

Ahmadiyah

Seberapa dekat (atau mungkin seberapa jauh) hubungan antara Ahmadiyah dan PKS? Berita-berita tentang penolakan aliran Ahmadiyah ini rasa-rasanya muncul hampir beriringan dengan berita-berita kesuksesan PKS memenangkan dua pilkada gubernur (meskipun belum ditetapkan oleh lembaga yang berwenang).
Ada kekhawatiran dari saya kalau berita-berita penolakan Ahmadiyah ini malah dijadikan tunggangan politik beberapa kepentingan tertentu. Terlebih menjelang pemilu dan pilpres, seperti saat-saat sekarang ini.
Koreksi saya kalau salah, sebenarnya selang tiga tahun terakhir ini berita-berita tentang penolakan aliran Ahmadiyah ini timbul tenggelam, tidak pernah tuntas.
Dulu kalau tidak salah, pemimpin aliran Ahmadiyah sempat memberikan keterangan pers setelah dia bertemu dengan SBY. Saya kira masalahnya sudah selesai sampai disitu, tapi ternyata penolakan aliran Ahmadiyah ini muncul kembali.
Om Pecas Ndahe diblog-nya sempat posting tentang debat terbuka mengenai aliran Ahmadiyah ini, dan itu terlaksana pada 1939. Kenapa kita nggak bisa menjadi arif dan melaksanakan debat terbuka seperti itu?
Daripada kita menyebarkan selebaran untuk melakukam aksi dan mengeluarkan pernyataan-pernyataan yang seram di media, rasa-rasanya melakukan debat terbuka merupakan pilihan yang masuk akal.
Salah satu pernyataan seram tentang penolakan aliran Ahmadiyah ini adalah: halal-nya darah pengikut aliran Ahmadiyah.
Duh, sejak kapan kita sebagai manusia mempunyai kewenangan untuk menghilangkan nyawa orang lain? Saya sedih sekali membaca pernyataan-pernyataan seperti itu, yang dalam 10 atau 20 tahun kedepan bisa membuat Indonesia seperti Yugoslavia: perpecahan dan ketika anak-anak balita kita sekarang nanti dibantai oleh sekelompok orang.

Well then, I won't choose this kind of government in next election then....
Damn, I'm really piss off

Update: I'm able to access this blog again.
But still I don't know what the hell is happening in this morning....

on parenting

Why do almost all parents always think what is the best things for their child?
Why the parents were very rare to discussed what do the child wants and find a better solution with their child as a partner?
I always remember what Shrek told Donkey about having a baby.
Donkey: don't worry, a baby will not ruins your life
Shrek: You don't understand, it is Me that I'm worried to ruin my baby's life
...
I think it's about open minded anyway

The Virgin To Make Much of Time

Gather you rose but while you may
Old time is still flies
And this flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be die

My Tarot Card

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

My old man

Suddenly I miss my old man….
The chat on my office lunchtime with my colleagues soaked my memory few years ago, when I was still child, not older than elementary-school age.
There I am, with my old man, mother and my big sister, killing time prior to Maghrib time on fasting month, in Dunia Fantasi Ancol.
I forgot whether I have I good time in Dunia Fantasi or no, what I do remember is: my old man was felt not well after Dunia Fantasi’s visit. He almost not able to drove the car, he should get rest for a while, broken his fasting by a bottle of water although it was about one hour to Maghrib time. And finally he pushed himself to drive a car to our relative’s house, which is quite far from Ancol.
….
I just realized that, back then, my old man tried to pleasure us, his children: me and my big sister. Tried to have a good time in Dunia Fantasi. Even though it would not be a pleasant time for his side. He would abandon his condition just to see us having a good time.
…
I wonder if I could do the same thing with Putri Jail.
I don’t know.
….
Well tomorrow is his birthday….
