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.

Not a Super Hero, just another costume freak detective.

Can you guest who's the men described by this post's title? Yeah you're right! [hei wait a minute dude, you speak like Dora the Explorer, ask questions and respond as if somebody have answered it yet, are you sure?] Hei take it easy pal easy...

The man is BATMAN yeah! Comic character which's created by Bob Kyne as the artist) and Bill Finger (writer) in May 1939. He can't fly, can't see trough wall and can't run as fast as bullet, in other words, he like just another human being. So why he's called super hero by some people, I think because he has pushed him self to the top condition of physical and intellectual condition, after had witnessed his parents' dead in a robbery, when he was a kid. By using sophisticated tools and vehicle he can parallel super-human power and ability which possessed by other heroes. With detective skill, knowledge and strategy he fight the crimes.

[Hei why Batman, why don't you talk about others heroes like superman, flash gordon, gundala, si buta dari gua hantu, etc and if you want to, I can create one for you!] No thanks pal, Batman character has given much influence to my life. All started when I was around seven or eight years old. I was sick and had to get a medical care in Jakarta Hospital (RSJ he..he..). At that time, in every single working day even thouth visiting time had up, and I had already slept, my father still came to my room and used to buy me Batman comic series.

Nopromise, Overdeliver

In order to maintain my confident, comfortableness, appearance and saving shampoo of course, once in a month I go to nearest barbershop around my neighborhood. I’ve been cutting my hair routinely there at least since one and a half year ago with same style, 2 cm short flat hairstyle. The barbers called it “sepid” /spd/ in

Sundaness accent [they actually mean are Keanu Reeves hairstyle in Speed movies].Last Sunday, just like another day before, for a hair cut I had to wait for a while. [Hei what da pic is that ? Just keep on reading man !] After 35 minute of a beautiful waiting had done, my turn came over. Had been given a brief instruction, the barber started to work on my hair immediately. As usual there are three terms in hair cut, first is rough approach [with emm… I don’t know what that electric tool called, what I know only it has some kind of two blades with zigzag edges, and sound “wezzzz” when operated], the second is finishing touch [they use thin scissor and skinny comb for detail shaping], and the third is light massage and clean all up [sometime I feel worry with neck breaking alike movement “prek-prek” he..he..].

In the first term every thing had ran smoothly and fine, those situations always make me little bit sleepy. And then second term started, right side, left side, beck side, every thing had ran easily till front side finishing touch hit me. After had tidied fore head part suddenly the barber cut off the outside edges of my left eyebrow. “WooWoooWoooW” that’s shocking me, made me speechless. Actually I wanted to say “What da heaven you think you doing man?” but I didn’t. If I had stopped him to cut the other side, I would have loose my balance [the eyebrows balance of course].

What could I say? Every thing has done, regrets were useless. I was wondering how he could have that initiative. Maybe it was caused because my eyebrows ware too long on the edges and looked massy. Some time in the morning when I wake up my eyebrows appear on my view. And some time my mother yell at me “Tidy up your eyebrows!!”. I Thing the barber has already do the right thing :D. Thanks barber but next time confirmation is important ok.

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?.

Confession On The Wet Floor

I kill time-limiting program on internet-connected node in public library, tragically I have learned those skills from a book in that library too. But you know that, too much freeloading is not good for your mental health.
Maybe some time you have to burn

your ships which you have sailed with, destroy the bridges which you have stepped on, in order no way for pullback and to eliminating choices. And always be careful to the questions you ask to your self about your life, sooner or later automatically you will get the answers. Schools make you intellect and money makes you smart. Am I agree with me ?,

Hemkh….zzt [try to hold my laughs stay in my throat], every time I remember that circumstance. Maybe you are wondering what circumstance that was. Hemmm…. sorry I can’t tell you. Why ? Cause it’s all about some one else personal life. And if I were him I would be glad if every one who eyewitnesses that circumstance not separates that embracing story. Don’t air your friend dirty laundry in public.

Grow up, please !!
