Happy Flood 2007 !! Hip-hip blug-blug

As a Jakarta dweller, I feel so sorry about all of this predicted, periodic, massive flood. Poor Jakarta :(

Judul entry nya agak kurang simpatik kali ya ? emm... ...

nggak maksud apa-apa koq, gw juga korban walaupun banjir terdekat ke rumah gw itu sekitar 100-150 m tapi kemana-mana jadi susah, koneksi lambat dan lain-lain. Gw cuma mo bilang, mo lo sedih, lo marah, lo ngumpat, lo bersembunyi or lo tetep don't worry be happy banjir tetep aja banjir. Kesimpulannya take it easy man.

Sebagai warga Jakarta "sejati" gw dah kenal sama banjir kira" semenjak TK. Waktu itu kalo dah musim ujan pas mo pergi or pulang dari sekolah gw harus membelah jalanan yang kebanjiran, bisa sih kalo mo muter tapi kejauhan man. Dan keadaan tersebut berlanjut sampai SD berakhir. Maklum daerah rumah gw emang disebut-sebut sebagai langganan banjir tapi nggak semuanya loh.

Tapi rumah kemasukan aer sih pernah dua kali. Pertama waktu itu gw lagi di Bogor (jadi diceritain doang he..he..). Rumah gw kemasukan air 1 cm (plus lumpur) dari ruang tamu rata sampe dapur. Masalahnya katanya sih waktu itu selokannya lagi error padahal ujannya ringan aja koq, yang biasa kebanjiran aja nggak kebanjiran he..he.. dasar lagi apes aja kale :D. Nah yang kedua gw lagi ada di rumah sekitar Juli-Agustus kemaren, waktu itu rumah gw lagi di renov kata insinyurnya ganti “cup” (ganti semua atep maksudnya, abis sama rayap soalnya). Waktu itu menurut prakiraan pola cuaca kan masuk musim panas tuh, and pas banget waktu rumah gw nggak ada atepnya sama sekali dan karena nggak ujan dari kemaren pas pulang tukannya masang terpal sekenaknya aja, ternyata eh ternyata hujan datang mengusir dahaga.

Memang, waktu masuk air yang kedua ini "Mantap Kali Pun!", kerimpungan karena buku" koleksi dan peninggalan leluhur posisinya kurang aman, kalo komputer sih udah diungsikan ke rumah tetangga, tapi data skirpsi (kuesioner itu tuh) sebagian ada yang basah keujanan, untung data nya dah gw salin di spreadsheet. Prioritas pertama gw waktu itu buku, kalo nyokap, sofa, kalo kakak gw TIDUR dasar kurang ajar!! Waktu mencoba merapihkan susunan barang, gw merasakan tetesan air yang cukup hangat ternyata air menetes dari lampu neon hua..aa.a...aaa. Dan akhirnya perabotan yg masih di rumah dititipkan di sebuah rumah kontrakan.

Rasanya sangat melelahkan waktu itu, baik secara [kayak anak gaul nih ngomongnya he..he..] fisik maupun mental. Tapi betul kata nyokap gw, kurang lebih "yaudah hadepin aja orang ada koq yang lebih buruk dari ini". Yah begitulah hidup The invisible hand is really exist. You have plans, He has too. Some time you may think some things are good for you, but He "think" those aren't good for you and vice versa. One think you should always remember that He knows your self better then anything else, even then your own self.

Is it hot or just me ?

What da day, why it's so dry and hot here in Jakarta. You know that now is January, it should be rainy season come around [beside merry season, and durian season of course]. Not only Jakarta but also in Bogor the City of Rain. People said that Bogor has

a micro climate pattern which's caused of its geographical structure and position. It was used to rains in daily basis around da year in Bogor, but now that's not more than another legend, an urban legend [don't think so:]

What in da world happen to the climate pattern anyway? Climate and weather expert from BMG (Badan Meteorologi dan Geofisika) said that's an anomaly has been happening since one or two weeks ago. Normally on the beginning of rainy season’s temperature’s around 31-32 Celsius degree but right now thermometers are indicating 36 Celsius degree. This abnormal pattern of weather is called dry spell, caused by Eddy cycle (closed whirlwind) on South China Sea. By those situations, rains have been being concentrated only on soulth China Sea. The circumstances are getting worse, because winds're blowing very fast around 15-20 knot in layer 3000, 5000 up to 13000 feeds, and rain clouds will only composed if wind blows below 10 knot.

So what now, what are those all facts' mean. Do you think those facts are mean less?, maybe you should reconsider it again. Do you think those facts are only explanations about recent circumstances?, you right but let's reconsider it again. Every thing in this world has its own direct and indirect causes, with high, fair or low correlations. The Nature always searches for the balance position, the most effortless, steady position. Nature is a dynamic systm, and has its own behaviors. If one or some of its elements move or get moved, the nature will search and find its new balance [sound familiar isn't it, oh yeah my old shoes' trade mark]. To get da balance condition the nature will converts energy forms, potential, kinetic, heat and others. And to get along with the nature we should learn and understand about its behaviors, do not mess it up and make some anticipations needed. When we treat the nature wrong, not try to learn and understand about its behaviors, and make no required anticipation, no wonder if there’re so many bad things [such natural disaster, national disaster, and personal disaster too] happen out there. Who's to blame? Let's blame da systm, therefore every body's happy and no one's hand get dirty. But who have built da systm anyway?.
