Hmmmm....

Kinda sad this night :(
*sst.. it's a secret I cannot tell you

PRAY FOR INDONESIA

Our country is experiencing terrible natural disaster. Starting from Wasior floods in west Papua, October 4, that caused more than 200 people died. Then the floods that hit the capital city, Jakarta. On October 25, continuous rain since day until night causing Jakarta can't avoid floods and making a great traffic jam ever in 2010. Many people got stuck on the street until late night and the police cannot do something much about it. The angry people release their feeling by cursing the governor or make cruel jokes about him ^.^

At the night in the same day, there's an 7.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in Mentawai archipelago, west Sumatera, causing 12 meters tsunami that swept hundreds of people. About 300 people died and more than 400 people missing. Material losses are incalculable. Aftershocks continue to occur until today but in smaller scale. Right now, the institution I'm working at is sending 4 ship that carry the aids for the disaster victim.

Then, in October 26, Merapi volcano in center of Java is erupted. People near the volcano are too late to evacuate themselves although the government is already warn them about the danger of eruption. They believe in "mountain keeper", Mbah Maridjan, who said that Merapi won't erupt. When the volcano is finally erupt, 15 people died because of extreme heat clouds (wedhus gembel) along with Mbah Maridjan, and it's still continued. Hundreds of people suffered burns or respiratory problems. Volcanic ashes is spread through many miles.

God, please bless us all...

The Short Second Life of Bree tanner Review

If you are so into the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, you should read this book, really! The story is about a young vampire girl called Bree, who appeared in the end of the third book; Eclipse. She is one of Victoria's army who surrender to Cullen's Clan and being executed by Volturi. Maybe you think this book is too thin. Yep, it only tells us about the last 1 week of Bree's life. But Mrs. Meyer write it in different and perfect way, we'll get the full story of her.

Well, I thinks it's a sad book. Most of the story took place at night. The characters live in dark, distrustful, and evil world. Bree tries to survive among her cruel new friends. She can't trust anybody until at one night, she went out with a boy named Diego. The story about them, from stranger to friend, run smoothly and natural. I'm happy to see they are paired in a special relationship. The other character has its own unique like Freaky Fred who has special ability, and of course Riley, a vampire who work for his love to Victoria. I think he is the most pathetic person in this book. He is cruel, but he has to be pitied.

It's always interesting to see our favorite character in a different point of view. A brief encounter between Bree and The Cullens give us a hint about what people think and feel when they meet them. I'm slightly regret that Bree couldn't has the chance to live with The Cullens. I wonder how she can affect Bella's opinion about vampire. But if that so, the story would change, right? :p

Well, Bree lost her lover. She was very sad for losing and chose to die rather than live without Diego, and that's what she got. But before she died, she is able to take a revenge and she die with smile. It's very tragic (it's romance fiction anyway :p), she prove every little thing she did could change the world around her. Her life is worth, no matter what. So that's my opinion :)

Implementation of 2010 Indonesia Hajj Transport

October 11-13 2010, was off to Surabaya (service trip) to monitoring the implementation of hajj transportation. The job run quite well. The Angkasa Pura I, Juanda International Airport welcomed us nicely. We were accepted by Pak Soni, Operational Manager. After some of interview about hajj transportation procedures, one of Pak Soni's staff, Mas Amir (which is Ellis's husband) accompany us to the Hajj Dormitory of Sukolilo. The security at this dorm is very strict, even the family of the hajj are not allowed to enter this place. We too, fellow of government employees, find it difficult to enter if not accompanied by Angkasa Pura staff. But we finally done the job, yay!

First embarkation will depart on Tuesday 12 October at 8 am. Unfortunately, there were flight delays happen to Kloter 1 caused by flight administration trouble at Madinah airport. They were finally depart at 9.45 am.

Currently listening to oldies (song). I miss you, dad

BEST DAD EVER

My father died.

I know this day will come since my father got stroke a year ago. But still, we felt it was so sudden. You know, people said that someone will have a hunch about bad things that going to happen to their close relatives, I think I did. The day before, I was at the office canteen, having a coffee time with my friends when my mom called and said that my father will be taken to the hospital. Suddenly, my heart beating so fast, I’ve never been like this even when my dad was taken to the hospital before. That night, when I’m alone at home, I cried when I listened an old song that became my dad’s favorite. I remembered dad is always played this song in the morning; accompany me up while I’m getting ready for elementary school. It was a happy memory.

The reason of my mom took him to the hospital are that my father is difficult to breath and the amount of his urine was too little. He has been through something more serious than this, I should not worry too much. But I felt different this time. I was right. The morning after we took him to hospital, Mom received a phone call from hospital; Dad’s left us forever at 8.45 am, September 30^th. I was like, “what?? It can't be right!” But even when I thought that, I knew that’s what happened. My mom cried loudly. I, too, burst my eyes to tears, but I thinking of mom. I have to be stronger to help her. And so it is, from young to old. From strong to weak. From 5 to 4. Innalillahi wa ina ilaihi roji’un.

He went in peace, I believe he rest in peace. Free from pain and sorrow. Goodbye dad, Insya Allah we’ll meet again at the other side. I love you so much and I already miss you. But everything’s gonna be fine. You’ve done a great job to raise your family. We all have grown up and able to stand by ourselves. You are THE BEST DAD EVER.
