Moving Out, Finally!!!

15th October 2008 is the new beginning for me, since on that day, I finally purchased an apartment. It’s not a condo, but a big step compared to the “kost room” that I’m currently living in. 

Anyhow, I think this year and the next year are historical times in my life, of course in a good way.

Kisah dari Neraka

Seorang warga Indonesia meninggal dan karena amal perbuatannya buruk lalu ia dikirim menuju ke neraka. Di sana ia mendapatkan bahwa ada neraka yang berbeda-beda bagi tiap negara asal. Pertama ia ke neraka orang Inggris dan berseru: “Kalian ngapain saja di sini?” Ia dijawab: “Pertama-tama, kita didudukan diatas kursi listrik selama satu jam. Lalu didudukan di atas kursi paku selama satu jam lagi. Lalu disiram dengan bensin dan disulut api. Lalu, setan Inggris muncul dan memecut kita sepanjang sisa hari.” Karena kedengarannya tidak menyenangkan, sang orang Indonesia menuju tempat lain. Ia coba melihat-lihat bagaimana keadaan di neraka AS, neraka Israel, neraka Rusia dan banyak lagi. Ia mendapatkan bahwa kesemua neraka-neraka itu kurang-lebih mirip dengan neraka orang Inggris. Akhirnya ia tiba di neraka orang Indonesia, dan melihat antrian panjang orang yang menunggu giliran untuk masuk dari berbagai negara. Dengan tercengang ia bertanya: “Apa yang dilakukan di sini?” Ia memperoleh jawaban: “Pertama-tama, kita didudukan diatas kursi listrik selama satu jam. Lalu didudukan di atas kursi paku selama satu jam lagi. Lalu disiram dengan bensin dan disulut api. Lalu setan Indonesia muncul dan memecut kita sepanjang hari.” “Tapi itu persis sama dengan neraka-neraka yang lain. Kenapa dong begitu banyak orang ngantri untuk masuk sini?” “Disini service-nya buruk, kursi listriknya nggak nyala, karena harga listrik naik terlalu tinggi dan sering mati, kursi pakunya nggak ada, jadi tinggal pakunya aja, karena kursinya sering diperebutkan, bensinnya juga nggak ada tuh, karena harganya melambung tinggi, malah kemarin sudah naik lagi, dan setannya adalah mantan pegawai negeri, jadi ia Cuma datang, tanda tangan absensi, lalu bolos.”

It’s about You and God

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Life is…

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.

The Window


Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man  was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and   families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military  service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the  man in the bed next to the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where  his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and  color of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while  children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite  detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.  Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive  words. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he gets all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see  anything? It didn’t seem fair. As the thought fermented, the man felt  ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy eroded into resentment and soon turned him sour. He   began to brood and found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that  window – and that thought now controlled his life.

Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window  began to cough. He was choking on the fluid in his lungs. The other man   watched in the dimly lit room as the struggling man by the window groped for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking  stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence–deathly silence.

The following morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths. When she found the lifeless body of the man by the window, she was saddened and called the hospital attendant to take it away–no  words, no fuss. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the man asked if he  could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his   first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.

Talking to puppets can make you rich

Ventriloquists can either amusing or annoying, yet the America’s Got Talent 2007 winner, Terry Fator, is all about fun. He won the US$1 million dollar from the show, and went on to sing a whopping US$100 million five-year contract with Mirage, Las Vegas.

The biggest factor about Terry is that he is genuinely can sing. Sure he’s funny, but it’s kinda something every ventriloquist must have. When I heard him doing the impression of Roy Orbison’s Crying and then compared it to the original, I must admit that I like Terry’s version better.

Anyhow, check out these videos of him displaying his great talent

Best Waiter in the world

The best waiter in the world, apparently, doesn’t come from the jetset metropolitan city such as Milan, New York, or Tokyo, but from Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Where is that exactly? I really have no idea.

To be precise, my beloved waiter works in a bar and not only that he can serve the customers satisfactorily, but he can also amuse them by dancing.

Curios? Just play the video…
