A Good Punch For A Bad Neighbor

2012-06-22T15:05:00.001+07:00

Good neighbors are really really hard to find nowadays. Sometimes people who lives nearby happen to those who pissed you the most. I mean, I don't get it. If we understand the situation that whether we like it or not, as neighbors, we will always see face to face everyday. We'll meet each other when we throw garbage to the garbage can in front of our house, we'll meet each other when we open our gate every morning before go to work, we'll see each other when we spend some quality times with our kids in our front yard, etc. Then what's the point of being a such an " unpleasant neighbor"?

Apparently, my new neighbor will have a ceremony to celebrate their new house tomorrow. A few day ago, the husband came talk to hubby and shared a bit of their plan. And how they're going to build little tent for that event using the "public path" of the housing. My hubby said okay. Well, there's nothing we can do if someone wants to have a ceremony with his family and friends. And it's about to happen on Saturday.

Anyway, I think the husband LIED to us about the exact size of the tent they're going to use. It's not a single tent (for about 6-7 meters wide) only but 20-22 METERS!!!! Has he lost his mind??
This tents stand in front of 3 houses in a row a block all the entrance ways to each of the houses, including ours. And the ceremony doesn't even start yet (it will be held tomorrow, on Saturday). Me and my hubby are SPEECHLESS to see that huge tents blocking our entrance. Hubby can't park his own car in front of our own house. So, tomorrow he must find other spot to park his car, far from our home. And obviously, my car is going to stay at home this entire weekend because one of this "stupid neighbor's tent's supports is standing right in front of house and block the way.
I think we're going to spend the entire day on the road tomorrow :(((
Bad bad neighbor, you really need a good punch in your face! :(

Play With Fireworks Wisely

2011-08-19T14:25:00.000+07:00

Everybody loves holidays and celebration is one of the reason to this. We just love the amazing air which very different from the other days we have in a year. Especially when we talk about Christmas (for Christians) or Eid ul -Fitr (for Moslems). Each holiday is very special to it's congregations. But we have one thing in common about how to celebrate it and how to make the holidays merrier. I want to talk about FIRE WORKS!

Based on Wikipedia, Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. Indeed, it is very entertaining to watch beautiful fireworks in the night sky, especially when we're on celebration. The bigger the fireworks, then the merrier the celebration becomes. I'm sure that everybody will prefer giants fireworks like this one below:

than the small one like my daughter usually play with like this:

Because that's the point of fireworks. Size does matter!

But, for me, the entertaining part from the size of fireworks is not that fun anymore when we're talking about the audio part. Fireworks are so loud that sometimes you even have to close your eyes. And that is my problem right now, unfortunately.

I have a two months old baby in my house right now and I'm still recovering from my sectio cesarean I had. But I must deal with some irresponsible person who play with medium size fireworks every night since the first day of this Fasting month. I know that they just tried to have fun, but can't you just wait until the "big day" instead, to start celebrating using fireworks? I have a baby who can't sleep and starts to cry every time you start playing with your stupid noisy fireworks!

Beside, I don't think it's a wise idea to play medium size fireworks among a crowd place like in the middle of people like that. You can go to an empty wide field and fire all your fireworks there where people can enjoy it safely without bothering new born baby like my son. But, if you wait until Eid ul -Fitr to start playing, I can bring my little baby away from my house that night. So that he can rest and sleep well peacefully. But until then, please use small fireworks instead. You can use it every night and still get the fun. Happy Fasting for you (who celebrate).

Keep Your Religion And I Will Keep Mine

2011-04-20T09:58:00.001+07:00

What is the easiest way to destroy friendship and make a new enemy? Easy. Just insult other people's religion! That's why it's better to avoid mixing religious opinions in your friendship. Even people in the same religion can easily find disagreement about something, not to mention those from different ones. Maybe, it's common for some people to talk or discuss or mock about other different religion inside their group. For me, it doesn't matter as long as they keep it around their community. But there will be a different situation when you intentionally share your personal opiniomS to people related with the issue. Somehow that can be considered as mockery and insulting.

It's almost like questioning other religion's basic doctrin for your own sake. Does it sound too soft for you. Well, indeed it's a softer version of these insulting actions such as: mocking the meaning of Cross in front of Christian, or serving pork meat for Moslem (or beef for Hindus), questioning the meaning of being vegetarian to some Buddhists and stuff like that. I'm sure right now you can figure out what I mean by now.

My point is, maybe we can't find a perfect agreement about religion whatsoever. But there's something we can agree that we should not mock other religions which different from our own. It will bring nothing but hatred and discomfort feeling. Keep your religion opinions with you and I'll keep mine. That's why we can have a fair and constructive friendship. I will appreciate your religion view, so please appreciate mine. We can still have friendship based on the same nationality or because we're all God's creation. That's better than fighting about religion. Don't you think?

Trapped in Texas Hold'Em Poker

2011-04-16T11:44:00.000+07:00

Right no, I'm watching a TV show about people who become so addicted to a famous game on Facebook right now, Texas Hold'em Poker. I think you should watch this show for yourself, especially if you are one of them. Texas Hold'em Poker makes online gambling looks fun and how you can do it for killing time. But this show will tell you that something seriously bad is going on behind it.

So many people have already trapped deeper and deeper into this online gambling. A smart college student who wants to try his luck for a few times, finally became so addicted and started to use his school fund to as a bet for this game. He even use the money from an account he shared with his parents. The parents received so many letters regarding unknown transaction in their account. When he realized that could not rely on that account any longer, he turned into criminal action, robbing a bank. Eventually, he surrender himself into the police and admitted the robbery.

There was also a stay at home mother (like me) who become so addicted with this game. Unconsciously, she used almost every penny her family had in the account as a bet. She confessed that it's because every time she feels like she's going to win, she always lost her bet by the end of the game. She's curious and keep betting her money for the next game until nothing's left in her account. Could you imagine that?

I believe that this isn't only happening in other country as we may find the similar cases around us now. You can say that numerous number of people are getting deeper in addiction to Texas Hold'em Poker and continue to gamble. If you are one of them, take your time for a moment to look at your situation. Maybe, just maybe, some of you have already won a big amount of money right now, but have you consider about the amount of money you use as betting to gain that result?

I love games too, I really do. I play almost every kind of games in Facebook but I always remind myself that it's all just for fun. I won't give a penny to buy anything to complete my game and I will definitely avoid the gambling game like Texas Hold'em Poker. Gambling is gambling. They can trap you whether you realize it or not. Always remind yourself, that it's all just game! Just a game! And I won't give any money for it anyhow!

Bad Service From A Bad Employee

2011-04-01T16:00:00.000+07:00

I had a bad experience with one of famous ice cream cafe here in Medan, yesterday.It was about 10.30 A.M and I was actually accompanying my daughter in school. After leaving her in her class room, I went to a big plaza, Cambridge, nearby with a friend of mine. When we saw that ice cream cafe called Fountain Cafe, I suddenly thought that I would love to buy a scoop of ice cream and my friend agreed. We entered the restaurant and sit. Not long after that, a guy showed up and told us that the restaurant hasn't opened yet since the operation hour starts from 11 AM daily.

Well, we're so ready to leave the restaurant when my friend asked him whether we can buy just two scoops of ice cream to go, because we saw that the ice cream box was already there and ready to serve. All they need is just a scoop. It took more than five minutes for him to ask one of his friend to serve us. A woman finally came up. I thought she's just washed her face when he called her, and she's not happy with that. She asked us about the kind of ice cream flavor that we want in a rush and absolutely without a smile. She didn't even feel that she needs at least to wipe her wet face first before serving customers like us. She looks so dirty with a wet face like that.

I never thought that a well known such as Fountain Cafe still hire a bad attitude employee like her. Without any doubt, she saw her upset and ugly face in front of us who come to deliver our money to her store. I just can't find any store manager among them to complain, since all I can see is just about ten employees were sitting in the tables and talking each other. And this stupid impolite women served us so badly.

I don't know if this article will do any good for this restaurant in the future. I tried to find a kind of customer complain box around the store and found nothing. I also try if I can find any phone number which I can use to deliver my complain directly to the management and still found nothing. That's why I write this here then I hope someday one of the the persons in charge in Fountain Cafe, Cambridge, Medan will do something about their employees. Well, at least teach and train them about the basic standards of working in sales and services area.

Free Yourself From Addiction!

2011-03-30T17:20:00.000+07:00

It feels awful when you realize that the number of people who’ve been addicted to drugs has increased from time to time. And most of them are young people who tempted to use cocaine, marijuana, heroine or even methamphetamine. This has been a major concern among people around the world including my own country. So many actions have been done to decrease this number in order to help people who want to free themselves from drugs addiction. Some gets in a hard way by spending a lot of time in jail, while some other are lucky enough to have a better option by joining a drug rehab.

If you are one of those people who have been given a chance to join a drug rehab program, feel free to visit treatment facilities near you now. If you stay in New Mexico, you can visit New Mexico drug rehab for further information and help you needed. There is always hope for you and it only a phone call away. I read that there actually several kinds of drug rehabs you can choose, such as inpatient drug rehab if you choose to stay in the facility during treatments, while outpatient drug rehab is treatment you choose if you prefer to stay outside the facility instead and stay with your family and friends during treatment. There is also option for you between a long term rehab with duration at least 90 days or more or short term rehab treatment instead. Or maybe you just want to choose detoxification, or several other kinds of meetings.

My point is that you should not feel ashamed about your condition concerning your drug addiction. Now, more and more people are trying to find help to cure their addiction after they realizes how bad the situation they have. Go get help now and free yourself from this self-defeating addiction. It’s clearly that you are going to need every help from people around you to get sober.

Be Careful Of Daylight Robbery!

2011-02-13T12:53:00.001+07:00

One day, I was just got back from my daughter school at mid-day. We're enjoying our lunch at that time while (as usual) I always keep my front door locked as well as the iron door as the first layer. It was a quiet day and we're about to take a nap after meal.

When suddenly someone rang my door bell. I opened the door and found a middle aged lady standing in front of the door. I never saw her before and surely don't know her. She looked surprised and said hello, which I replied back. She told me that she was going to buy a house in our housing that day.

As some of you may already know that we are in a new house right now. But this housing is not full yet, there are many houses that still empty. So, this lady's reason is quite right. I just can't accept the next favor she asked me. She wondered if she could enter my house to look around to see the interior and any kind of changes we've made for our house. I mean, WHAT???
You don't know me, I don't know you, and suddenly you asked me to open my front door so that you can enter to look around? Are you sober, lady?

I refused it right away and told her that I had something important to do inside and I really don't have time to take her look around. My main thought at that time is how impolite this lady is. Didn't she even realize that I locked my two layered doors that day as a message that I don't want to be disturbed? But somehow she still had guts to ring my door bell and asked me that silly favor? I stay alone in my house (with my little daughter) since my hubby works in different city. So, I never let my front doors wide open for no reason. NEVER!

When I told hubby about this, he came up with a conclusion: that lady was about to rob me that day once I let her in. That she was just trying to find an excuse for me to let her in. I've heard lots of stories like this before, about someone got robbed in hypnotized way. The stories are spreading widely through medias including internet. To be honest, I didn't think that far. I was just thinking about her impoliteness. That's all. But my hubby's conclusion suddenly opened my eyes and frighten me a bit. If that's true, I can't imagine how close I was to be a crime victim in my own house where no one could ever help me at that time.

Criminals nowadays are getting cruel and crazy every time. Even a middle aged and friendly looked lady can be a cruel criminal who hypnotizes her victims before robbing them. So, watch out there! Especially if you stay alone at home, like me. Never open your door for someone you don't know. Never!!

Men Revolution!

2011-02-02T12:20:00.001+07:00

I think most men are trying to do exactly like women do nowadays, don't you think? There was a time when beauty parlour or beauty saloon is considered to be only suitable for women. Men tried to avoid places like that in order to keep the pride of their manhood. There was a time when men hate to use colorful shirt or pants outside the house because colorful is somehow connected to womanhood. There was a time also where men considered beautiful creme such as hand and body lotion or face moisturizers or lip balms as prohibited for men. But can you still find it today?

Go and look inside a beauty saloon right now! You will find at least three men inside are sitting nicely and ready to get the treatments. From hair treatment to manicure and pedicure treatment, just like most ladies do. When you walk in a mall or department store, take time to look around, then you will find men wearing soft pink t-shirt with purple tie, or even yellow shirt. If you have a brother or boyfriend or husband, take a look at his drawer then find how many hand and body lotion he has in it. Don't be surprise if you can also find a face moisturizer just like the one you use daily too. LoL

Our men are changing. By doing what women usually do will not change who he is at the same time. I even consider it as a new perspective. Now, women can ask their men to accompany them to a beauty saloon where they don't need to sit and wait till bored to death. They can also have the same treatment with their women as well. Forget about the dark colors and boring style inside your man's wardrobe. Buy him a light colored tie or shirt and even a colorful short. And don't you want your man to smell good and feel good? Share some of your beauty creme with him such as lip balm or face moisturizer. But make sure to keep him away from your decorative make up! You don't want to walk with a man using your red lipstick, pink blush on and your fake eyelashes walking beside you, right? LoLoLoL

What a man world! Hahahaha

Surprise!!!

2011-01-31T15:00:00.000+07:00

Hello...something weird is happening here and I feel wonderful about it. As you may realized, I've been away from my blog these past three months. The last time I checked, my Page Rank is three and suddenly I found out that it has been increased into FOUR today! I mean, I don't know exactly when this happened but I just found out about this today.

I guess Google just being kind to me after all. What do you think? LoL

Anyway, how are you doing there, my friends? I hope everything is alright with you all there. Mine is fabulous! Sure, I think I'll be back on spot real soon after trying to dig more things from my brain to write down here. So, see you around..

Do You Celebrate Thanksgiving? Uhm, No!

2010-11-20T14:22:00.000+07:00

Fyyuuhh....this one is going to be tricky for me. And you know why. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. Gosh, you guys have many holidays in a row, huh? LoL

1. Tell us about you very favorite (yes we know that's redundant) Thanksgiving.
It's kinda boring LoL since my answer will be just simple: nothing. I enjoy watching movie about how people celebrate Thanksgiving by sitting together around a table and have a feast. If Halloween is famous with the pumpkin stuff, then Thanksgiving is well known for the turkey. Am I right?

2. What are you doing for Turkey Day this year?
Guess what? Nothing! (Grin)

3. If you were to go to somebody else’s house, what would be your favorite dish to bring?
Well, in our culture way, the most general kind of dish you usually bring is cake. Well, some may choose to bring fruits instead. But, we also bring something more special if the house we're about to visit is a close family member. We usually bring dishes cooked by my mom at home as a gift.

4. Tell us about the funniest person that you'll be with this Thanksgiving.
See #2!

5. What would surprise us to know about your Thanksgivings?
Uhm..Uhm..Nothing..

6. Does your usual mix of guests result in drama, or is it a group you’re happy to see?
I think everyone will have a bit of everything when talking about mix of guests. Right?

7. What did your family do for Thanksgiving when you were a kid? Do you still do it?
See #4!

8. We know you've been asked this probably 15 times this week. But share with us in 2010, what are you most thankful for?
I will always be thankful for everything we have right now. Especially for my second pregnancy right now. I think God bless us so much that I can't think to ask for anything for now. But, I will always pray that our family will be in His protection and never ending love.

9. Okay, the big question: are you going to 'attend' any of the "Black Friday" sales? ...and if you are, are you hard core serious like the 5 am "be there" crowd?
See #7!

PS: May I make the conclusion for you? All my answers above are totally boring LoL. Believe it or not, I think I'm going to cancel this post or delete it after couples of hours. Hahahaha..
But don't let this ruin your Thanksgiving celebration there. Have a great one, for sure! Xoxo

Boredom, Go Away!

2010-11-12T08:16:00.003+07:00

1. When pigs fly I think we will see the sky turns pink once a week, assume those pigs will choose particular day to fly together. You better watch out when this day comes, cover your entire roof with something which absolutely water resistant, to prevent you from having pigs poop all over your roof. Just in case they have nasty feeling to poop while flying. This is a silly imagination LoL

2. What? Are you thinking about my silly imagination above seriously?!

3. Call me a dreamer. But I think it's okay to be a dreamer sometimes, especially when you get stuck with your daily activities which makes you become so numb and unable to feel anything anymore. I think once at a time you may find life we live is a bit boring and we need something to refresh our mind and make us smile. Dreaming or daydreaming is one of the fastest, cheapest and healthiest way for it. As long as you can control yourself from getting deeper and deeper with your dream until you forget about your real life responsibility, then it's okay to make a silly imagination sometimes.

4. Yes life can be boring sometimes, if you know what I mean.

5. The most entertaining person in my life are my hubby and 3 years old daughter in their own different ways because hubby knows what kind of entertainment I want when I feel boring and help me get out of that situation. While my 3 years old daughter always entertains me with her simple and innocent saying and look. I love my life.

6. Well, I told you much about how to handle boredom in my own perspective. I definitely want to know your side of the story. So, who's next?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to do nothing, I will stay at home and spend more time to sleep. It rains a lot here and I don't feel like want to going anywhere now tomorrow my plans include nothing but staying at home also. And maybe on Sunday I want to visit my MIL's house and spend time with the in-laws.

The Hunt Of The Last Nazis

2010-11-11T17:37:00.000+07:00

Have you ever watched a program on History Channel about The Last Nazis? I watched this program since last month and become a fan ever since. It’s about the hunt of war criminals that used to join NAZI and become part of Holocaust. At WW2, they’re all young soldiers with muscularly steady body and ready to do anything. But now, they’re just old men and almost senile. If you saw them without knowing any of their dark past as human slaughterers, you would have considered them as kind old men with big smile who greet everyone they met in the street with smile. But it will soon change after you know that they used to take part of killing thousand of Jewish people in Holocaust.
These war criminals are hunted for trial. They must pay for what they’ve done in their young age. And guess what, almost every one of them confesses that they’re innocent and blame all of it to other soldier or their superiors. How they couldn’t take responsibility for thing they didn’t do and they feel terribly humiliated by the media about this. But, don’t get tricked by all those wrinkles and their weakness of old age. They were sentenced guilty in court and were sent to jail for the rest of their lives. But the hunt is not over yet. There are many of these war criminals who appeared as untouchable. Some of them are incredibly rich and able to hide in different countries or bribe everyone to help them doing so. Including the “Doctor Death” who used to do some horrific and needles experiments using Jewish detainee to fulfill his need of slaughtering people, Aribert Heim. His experiments killed hundreds of people that time. What an evil monster. So, the hunt of the last Nazis is still going on.

1. “A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.”
Do you live your life by moderation or extremes?
I tend to live my life by moderation. I'm a kind of boring girl, you may say LoL. But I want to live in peacefully and know exactly what I'm going to do next. Just a simple me :)

2. “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.”
Have you ever thought someone was flirting with you in a work environment? What happened?
Yeah (wink) I've been through this many years ago. But I don't want to flirt in work environment. I met my hubby in totally different circumstance.

3. “As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.”
Have you ever “thought big” and you wound up crashing and burning?
LoL Yes! But I think I will keep it for my own LoL

4. “Everything in life is luck.”
Do you believe in luck? If not, do you feel it all happens to us for a reason?
I don't believe in luck. Every thing is this world happens for a reason. So, whatever I have right now will have a significant effect for my future.

5. “Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.”
Have you ever benefited big time because you declined an offer, investment, job (Well you get the idea.)?
I'm not sure about this. If I truly have, then it's completely out of my memory.

6. “I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.”
Tell us about someone that you know that has all the money they need.
I think no one will ever say "enough" when talking about money. No matter how much money you have, you will feel the urge to find more and more. Just like Uncle Scrooge LoL. So, I've never met one who ever say "I have all the money I need already" so far.

7. “I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.”
Do you think running your country like a business would be a good thing?
I think there's a significant difference between running a business and running a country. When you're running a business, all you think is about making profits. But you need to think deeper when you're running a country. You must pay attention to things such as social responsibility, patriotism, and stuff like that.

8. “I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.”
Do you live in the past in any way?
No.. Leave the past behind and seek for the future.

9. “If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.”
How are you at balancing work and pleasure?
Spare the weekends for my family. That's also a chance for you to recharge your battery while having some fun. And when you must deal with Monday again, you will smile and say: Bring it to me!

10.“Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.”
Tell us about a time that you won the battle but lost the war.
There so many times in my life when I have to deal with this situation. Trust me, it's not something that you want to hear nor read :)

Two Things I Thankful For

2010-11-09T21:03:00.001+07:00

Two things I thankful for

1. My loving husband who’s been kind enough to buy me a new Blackberry to replace my old one which almost broken. I found that my old Blackberry doesn’t work as good as it was and it’s irritating me. I need to pull out the battery every time the screen starts to freeze for a long time. I know that it needs to be replaced with a new one. I can’t do anything to fix it anymore. And my hubby bought me a new one yesterday. Yay!

2. A friend of mine who kindly enough to accompany me contend my nervous when I need to drive my car again after four months absence. It gets me nervous especially when I sat in the driver’s seat for the first time (again) I hope I still remember everything. She directs me in a good way and brings my self esteem back. I can get over my nervous and manage to drive my car safely. LoL
Silly me

Happy Tuesday for you all out there

Wild Monkeys Near Danau Toba

2010-11-07T08:22:00.001+07:00

Last week, we had a chance to visit the famous lake in Sumatera Utara (North Sumatra) Indonesia, Danau Toba (Toba Lake). I can't visit my hometown every month so every time we go there, we will always visit Danau Toba for sure. Since it's only less then 1 hour from my hometown.
We enjoy the beautiful scenery that time and my brother took his chance to swim. The weather was just perfect. When we arrived, it's been raining. But luckily it stopped several minutes later then replaced by the bright sunshine.
After a couple of hours in relaxing time, we decided to go home. We got a chance to stop by a few minutes to feed wild monkeys from the side of the road. Yes, so many monkeys were waiting there for visitors to stop by and gave them something to eat, such as banana or peanuts. We're lucky to find some of them came towards our car and stay right beside the car. We gave them peanuts and soon more monkeys were approaching. That's how I got this pictures.

But suddenly, they're all gone. Disappear! What's happening? It turns out that those monkeys run for their lives after they saw a monkey hunter carrying his gun approaching. Oh my God. How can people shoot and kill those adorable animals whatsoever? This bad man walks slowly and passes by our car. I hate him! I wish one day he will pay for what he did! Hunters are really bad persons! :(
And those cute monkeys never show up again even after the ugly hunter disappears from our sight. Something needs to be done to protect this wild monkeys soon!

It's About Me

2010-11-05T16:40:00.000+07:00

1. If you could have any talent and turn it into an occupation, what would it be?
I really want to be a professional writer. I admire those people who loves to write and earn money from that. It's not easy to be a writer, though it may seem that all you need is just pen and paper. But I think imagination and thought are the most important yet difficult part.

2. Would you rather have a house at the beach or a cabin in the woods?
I love woods but I don't like to spend too much time in an quiet, gloomy and monotone place like that. I prefer the beach, where I can enjoy sun shine and hear the waves outside my house. Sounds tempting.

3. Is there any meaning or reasoning for the names you chose for your child/children?
Yes, for us a name is such a pray. We gave the best name for our child so that she will carry our pray with her for the rest of her life. Our daughter name, Agasha, taken from old Greek language which means kind or good. We hope life will treat her kindly and good and she will treat everyone kindly and good either.

4. What is your guilty pleasure? (I know we've done this one before, but I'm guessing people's "guilty pleasures" change frequently. At least, mine do!)
Once, I've been thinking about what's the worst thing is going to happen if the three of us (mu, hubby, daughter) just use all our savings and have an ultra fancy vacation in Eastern Europe. It will be great for us, but guess what will happen after the fun time over. LoL

5. Do you live in a house that is deep cleaned or straightened?
I love to see my house clean and tidy in a normal way. But, my little daughter won't let me. So, the change my definition of clean and tidy quite a bit since we have her :)

Stephen King

2010-10-27T04:23:00.001+07:00

As a fan of horror movies, I adore him and his fantasy about horror. And when October comes and Halloween in peeking from the front door, I think people will think about him more over. I think about him more too, especially when many of his famous horror movie were shown in TV these month.

When was the last time you scared yourself?
I can't remember if I never get scared of my own self.

2. “Time heals all wounds…”
What was the longest it took you to recover from an illness, injury or surgery?
I think it will be Illness. I have allergic of seafood since I was a little girl. And doctor said that I was never going to be completely cured since it's in my blood. All I can do is make peace of it and avoid anything that could call my allergic back. That's why I don't eat seafood much.

3. “Your first impulse is to share good news. Your second is to club someone over the head with it…”
What was the last good news you had to share?
The newest one is we will fly to my hometown with the first flight tomorrow to attend my younger sister's wedding. I miss my hometown and all my family there. I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

4. “When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck…”
Is there something in your past you speak highly of that was not so great while you were going through it?
I think I have some of them which I can't share with you all here :)

5. “Do you drink? Of course! I just said I was a writer!..”
What do you need to drink to do?
I don't drink and I never had any pressure to drink before doing anything ever.

6. “If you liked being a teenager, then there’s something really wrong with you…”
What did you like about being a teenager?
Well, my teenager was fun enough, we still didn't familiar with bully or that stuff and we enjoy every moment we have spending time together without having to face the adults problem. Just fun and fun. In fact, we always love to share stories to each other about how we want to have the fun of teenage life back. I don't know about you guys LoL Is there something wrong with me then?

7. “Nobody likes a clown at midnight…”
What do you like at midnight?
Uninterrupted sleeping. That's what I need at midnight. Everything else can wait till the morning comes.

8. “It is the tale, not he who told it…”
Who is your favorite teller of tales or jokes?
I don't have a special one. I enjoy every jokes that I consider to be worth to hear.

Not yet. I hope I can prevent myself from getting anything like that.

10. “If fear cannot be articulated, then it can’t be conquered…”
What do you fear?
My fear is Cockroaches! I know, silly me. But I always jump like a crazy people every time I saw that nasty critter around me. I hate it's color and I hate it's bad smell the most.

Our Five Basic Freedoms

2010-10-26T16:19:00.000+07:00

Just in case we forgot about our Five Basic Freedoms. There are so many violation to our rights in so many parts of this world. The authorities should able to guarantee these five freedoms to their citizens, otherwise we will only see chaos every where. I don't know whether you noticed or not, that the chaos is getting worse...everywhere...

Another Tainted Milk Scandal In China

2010-10-23T09:49:00.000+07:00

I know that reality of our instant noodles scandal we had just few days a go is insane enough to make us all angry. How can there be people who able to produce kind of foods which consumed national (and international) wide with “garbage” inside. Such an irresponsible people! But, there is newest horrible news about tainted food which able to make you very mad also.
Recently, the authority of China (once again) must deal with tainted milk in infant formulas. It said that this tainted infant formula had caused a very bad effect to few infant girls in China. What kind of bad effect? These infant girl show signs of premature development which means they don’t grow as well as they supposed to be, including weight gain and height. I wonder what kind of poison was inside those tainted infant formula milk.
Infants are the most vulnerable persons in this world and they can’t even tell their parents if they feel sick or pain. Adults should protect them and help them to grow instead of feeding them with "poison" like this. Remember, those infants are the future leaders and if something bad happens to them, you can imagine what is going to happen in the next 50 years.
I hope this disaster will never happen in this country. Poisoning adult people is scandalous enough and disappointing millions of people already. Do not aim your evil mind to our precious future leaders by poisoning their infant formula milk whatsoever. Have mercy for God sake!
