Garuda di Dadaku

This is amazing, maybe almost all of Indonesian singing the national anthem last night.
Yes, we lost, but we're proud of you, GARUDA WARRIOR...!! Thanks for the great battle spirit..
And congratulations (huh) Malaysia, for winning the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010

I Love you all, Indonesian national team members!

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...

Pramuka Island, June, 19-20, 2010

Tanggal 19-20 Juni, ke Pramuka Island utk snorkling (dan gw tetap blum bisa berenang). Gw bareng raya, abul, mike, rossi, dan org2 lain, total 14 orang. Berangkat dari Marina ancol. FYI, gw keluar rumah jam 4 subuh, karna kata abul musti antri supaya dpt tempat di KM Kerapu. Dan emang bener sih, nyampe sana sekitar jam 5an udah banyak orang nge-tagin tas di jalur antrean. Sementara itu loketnya sendiri baru buka jam 7, berangkat jam 8. Uuuugh... dn bagusnya gw lupa bawa jaket, dingiiiiin...!

Akhirnya jam 8 pintu dibuka, dn jam setengah 9 we're on sail. Awalnya sih riang-riang aja, mo dihantam ombak ampe kebanting juga cuma teriak2 ala tukul. Lama-lama... sejam kemudian... ombak makin gede.. katanya sih 1 meteran. Oh nooo... I'm starting to dizzy... damn.... mabuk laut melanda. Akhirnya gw nggelosor di bangku. Bodo ah, tedur aja, daripada muntah :p. Sekitar setengah 11 nyampe di Pulo Pramuka. Normalnya sih 2 setengah jam, tp karna transit di beberapa pulo lain jd agak lama. Tampang ud ga jelas, rambut awut2an (kata abul gw kaya abis diperkosa, haha, imagine that).

Transit di entah-pulau-apa

Mabooooook......

Sampe di penginapan, dapet treat orange juice

Nyampe sana, taro barang, langsung makan mie rebus (enaaaak) dan siap2 utk naik kapal lagi (aarrgh) ke spot snorkling yg pertama (oiya, ketemu bang sarwo dkk disana, lg bawa orang utk sertifikasi A1, iriiiiii...). Tapi sialnya tau2 ujan gede, dn petir nyamber deket bgt, kita tdnya udah naik kapal, langsung berhamburan lagi ke rumah terdekat. Untunglah ga lama kemudian ujan berenti, langsung tancap sebelum ujan lagi. Hari pertama itu kita sukses ke tiga spot yg berbeda. Gw dan raya sukses juga, hahahaha. Having great experience lah pokoknya, and more experience for me ;). Dan malam hari pertama itu diwarnai dgn kelakuan super ga jelas, gw dan raya baru tidur jam 2 karna 1 orang itu.

Jam 7 udah bangun lagi, sarapan, dan siap2 ke spot lain, which is ke Pulo Air. Pagi ini lebih asik, karena viewnya lebih clear, ikan lucu2 juga banyak. Senangnyaa! Ga kerasa udah hampir tengah hari, kita musti balik karena ojek kapal ke muara angke berangkat jam 1. Huaaa, belum puas! Setelah keburu2, akhirnya kita naik kapal. Tapiiii... eng ing eeeng, cuacanya buruk. Nahkoda ga berani berangkat. Mampus dah. Sebelumnya KM Kerapu nekat berangkat, tp setengah jam kemudian balik lg. Katanya ketinggian ombak 5 meter! Nooooo.... Tapi kemudian, nahkoda memutuskan berangkat sekitar jam setengah 3. Hadoh, gw deg2an mampus. Belum2 kapal udah terombang-ambing ombak, dan beberapa menit jalan, miringnya udah parah. Orang depan gw udah muntah2. Untung sebelumnya gw ud minum antimo, manjur llho. Ini perjalanan laut gw yg paling horor yg pernah gw alamin. Secara gw duduk di atas (area terbuka), pemandangannya ngeri, ngeliat bgt gimana kapalnya miring kanan kiri, bahkan kita sempet keseret saking miringnya, ngeri bgt tuh yg duduk dipinggir. Plus ombak yg muncrat, sukses basah kunyup, menggigil kedinginan. Tapi gw ngeliat abul tenang2 aja, tetep blagu malahan, jd gw berusaha santai. Untunglah, 2 jam kemudian, pulo Jawa tercinta keliatan!! My beautiful homeland... hiks, terharu.. Dan waktu bersandar ke muara angke, kering coba! ga ada gerimis sedikitpun, kita bener2 kaya kucing kecebur got. Anyway, Thanks God we're safe..

Setelah ngambil mobil ke Ancol, makan di coto makasar (yang mana gw cuma makan kupat n kuah, karna dagingnya udah abis tinggal jeroan), ahirnya br nyampe rumah jam 10. Cape, tp senang..

Ojek kapal yang membawa kami ke Muara Angke

Sampe di Muara Angke. Tampang2 abis kena hujan badai

Well, next trip?? (Batu karas insya Allah :D)

Wondering why

Seperti tarzan masuk kota,
seperti harimau yang mendapat belalai,
seperti pagar yang dirambati tanaman,
seperti gedung yang bergoyang,
seperti komputer yang konslet,
seperti gorden yang jarang dicuci,
seperti aspal yang meleleh,
seperti mobil yang kekurangan aki,
seperti daun yang dijemur matahari,
seperti lidah yang tersengat sambal,
seperti obeng yang memutar sekrup,
seperti buku yang tergeletak membuka,
seperti awan yang tertiup angin,
seperti bunga yang perlahan menguncup,

[sigh...] I guess I'm going crazy..

by the way, the next trial recipe will be deviled eggs
