Hi all! Just wanna share this prayer which I thought it was a wonderful prayer...."Saha nav avatu, saha nau bhunaktu, saha viryam karavavahi: tejasvi nav adhitam astu: ma vidvisavahai; aum santih, santih, santih...."("May God protect us both; may He be pleased with us both; may we work together with vigor; may our study make us illumined; may there be no dislike between us.

If you are stricken by poverty, others are chained in debt. If you don’t have shoes, others have no feet. If you feel pain now, others have been aching for years. If your son dies, other have lost many. If you have sinned, then repent. If you have committed a mistake, correct it. The doors of repentance are ever open, the fountain of forgiveness is

Welcome to a Jungle of Emotional Turbulence

Last weekend, my friends and I went to Rancaupas for three days camping night to enjoy the nature, make a bond with earth, inhaling the clear air of no pollution…okay okay, it’s actually just another excuse to have some local beers and smoke weeds, but hey, I found myself more released after dealing with life's turbulence .Rancaupas is a 215 ha camping ground located 43 km south of Bandung. It

SEKOLAH 'HIDUP'

I realised that the methodology of growing up deals mainly with learning from experiences. sounds obvious, but it's not so until you actually sit back and think about the journey you took since your very first cry to this very moment you're in now. it's hard staying on the right path.Life is not easy, but well... at least it is sustaining.I wish I could learn from my mistakes,and I'll always be

The Suharto Effect

2008-02-02T20:13:00.001+07:00

I remember the day president Sukarno died. It was June 21, 1970, and I was in a taxi going from Jakarta's airport into town after completing a tour of the U.S. as a student leader — a trip made possible through a program initiated by Suharto, Sukarno's successor. The streets were quiet and I asked the driver why. He replied in a neutral voice that Sukarno had just passed away.After the chaos and

Murrow calmly said those words into a broadcast microphone during the London Blitz at the beginning of World War II, he generated an analog signal that was amplified, sent through a transatlantic cable, and relayed to transmitters that delivered his voice into millions of homes.Broadcast technology itself delivered a world-changing cultural message to a nation well convinced by

There was even a PR firm in tow.I immediately wondered whether it was not another

FRIEND

2008-01-04T00:59:00.001+07:00

Art thou abroad on this stormy night on thy journey of love, my friend? The sky groans like one in despair. I have no sleep tonight. Ever and again I open my door and look out on the darkness, my friend! I can see nothing before me. I wonder where lies thy path! By what dim shore of the ink-black river, by what far edge of the frowning forest, through what mazy depth of gloom art thou threading

You know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button. and... um... Oh, wait a minute. Actually, a woman is more like a beer.[homer simpson's word of wisdom]
