The Dangerous Man of One Book!

Osama is dead! Yeah... that was the breaking news when I was in the Soekarno-Hatta airport, Jakarta, on my way back to Singapore last week.

Many people are celebrating! Some still take the news with caution, fearing cruel plots that might come after. Some hackers, using this opportunity to spread "Osama viruses", and I am stupid enough to open the link (Now, I can't be sure that my notebook is clean anymore.)

Anyway, back to the Osama, whether or not he is dead, no matter how holy his mission is, he is just freaking physco!!!

People have the right to believe in whatever make sense to them, like his belief in the mission of Al-Qaeda, others have the right to believe in Jesus, in Buddha, in Ganesha, or in nothing! Why should he try so hard? Sacrificing the innocents, the world's peace - that's unforgivable!

That's his mission? One world under One belief? Even if you can make people to believe in one thing, what then? Leave in peace? Yeah... in another millions years. Like teacher can teach the students one exact formula, but it never hinders the creative ones to use the formula differently.

Homo unius libri - Beware of a man of one book! Especially the one with the wrong book, disastrous belief, and the idea that of little depth.

I watched United 93, those who executed the order had family they love, if there is no this silly mission, they might still live in peace, and not pieces! But for whatever strong reason, even when they were in fear for their own death, they still carried out the order, suicide bombing! Sad and godforsaken!

Guns don't kill people, People do!

The Guardian

...

Could you lay your life down, so strangers can live?

Can you take what you need but take less than you give?

Could you close every day without the glory and fame?

Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name?

Can you lose everything you ever had planned?

Can you sit down again and play another hand?

Could you risk everything for the chance of being alone?

P.S. If I mentioned this before, I just want to say it again - The Guardian is a MUST watch movie~ Yeah... I always feel the need for me to save the world! Haha... So when I can't save it myself, I am supporting and feeling proud for those who are doing the mission that is impossible for me!

Randomly Happy~

Yohooo~ despite the uncomfortable stomach, I am in a very high spirit!

After all the stressful situation in the early of this year, I am so glad for the Bintan's quiet trip, for the Jakarta super short and fun trip! Today~ It was so good to rest at home, whole day!!! *finishing chores that have been abandoned, clean room, clean mind.

IF every other month, we are all given time off like this, we will be more happy, more fulfilled, more content, more balanced, look younger (*o*), and live longer!

Uhh~ I am just so high up now! It won't last (Nothing last) but I just wanna live the moment.

Since, I am so happy now, I want myself to always remember that I have 2 things that never fail to make me smile (at least so far, to date):
- My niece
- My Doggy (...the one that is (was) alive and breathing)

Someone wise said, when you are feeling unhappy think of something/someone that make you happy, fill yourselves with love, and you will feel better~ It's not me saying it, it's someone wise, which I could not remember. So you better take this seriously =D

Here ends my random and happy thought~

Faith in Family and True Friends

I do not envy those with many acquaintances. The relationship is just too loose. They slip away when you are falling.

I envy those with a few or even only one close friend. The relationship is stronger. They back you up when you are falling.

I envy even more those close to their family. The relationship sticks! They let you fall, they feel the pain, they go through it with you, they prepare you so that you are stronger even when they are not close by your side.

Double-edged Sword

Internet can make someone a star overnight, but there are times when it goes unhealthy and causes harm than good.

I was browsing through internet, and watching parody video on nighahiga channel. The latest was on Rebecca Black's song, Friday. People are saying that the song was ridiculuos - the lyrics, the voice, the whole video clip. Some posted hatred comments, asking her to just die. Gosh...

Another video is on the bully in school in Australia. Casey and Richard. In the video, Richard was seen to bully and pick up a fight with Casey. It has been going on for 3 years, and when everything piles up, Casey then brutally smacked Richard down. The video goes to youtube, and Casey gets the support, while Richard is hated as if he is Gadaffi, hated by the world.

I am not saying that Richard is right, BUT.. come on... they are kids. Right, that they need to learn their lesson, but WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? Posting your harsh and hatred comments. In the long run, it will never be helpful, not to Casey nor Richard.

Internet provides information. Information is Power. Power is double-edged sword - use it right and it will do you good and vice versa.

Dreams

"Dream big and you will have big problem

Dream small and you will have small problem

Do not have a dream, and you will have no problem"

We all have the right to choose :)

Happy Birthday, Mom...

Last year, around this time (lunar calendar: the exact same day), My family and I were in Bali. I was diving, and later at night, we were going to have dinner in Jimbaran beach side.

That was all planned for Mom's birthday =D

Another year, she and dad are celebrating it at home, my sis in Medan and Me, here, in Singapore.

No matter how far we are.. Happy Birthday, Mom :)

Love you~

Linda

Gratitude

"Thank you for all your kindness all this while. "

That's one of the line in the message. Gosh... It made my day!

It reminds me of a saying:

"In this life, it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that make us happy"

I am grateful that I have been provided with the opportunity to help.

I am grateful that I have the ability to help.

I am grateful that there is still gratefulness in human kind.

I am most grateful to know that in someone's opinion there is still kindness in me.

2 Years of Good Job

Today is exactly my 2 years with the current company. Here I am at home on Medical Leave. Aiyooo....

Anyway, it's 2 years of doing good job, which I know there are always rooms for improvement. But still so far I deserve a pat on my back.


Some dates just stick forever I think. Because they have meanings. The day when I started my first day with real job, I cannot remember what I expect. With time, I sort out my life back, life with goals...

What's wrong with March?

Gosh! This month is not really a good one for me. Let see...

Losing swimsuit in a cab, which never made its way back to me. How can I? Because I was feeling crappy on that day, and my little brain, like pooh-bear's, cannot think of anything else...

The crappy feeling took my two weeks away. Yeah, that's making me losing half of a month joy.

Then... I woke up one Sunday morning with fever! Gosh.... I know that I am feeling tired, low-energy, but fever??? 'Wo'-man~ It has never crossed my mind. The next thing I know, I spent two whole day sleeping, and not getting better.

When I saw doctors, they only have one advice for me. What's that? "Don't get too stressed". Last time, I can easily say that I am not stressed over work. Long hour work does not mean stressed, no? Now, since every doctor tries to convince me that I am down because of stress, I am not sure if I am not stressed.

Best of all~ I thought I am facing so called relationship problem. Not man-woman kind of relationship, but it's more like you-you-me-me kind of thing. Ah~ I can never understand why I cannot satisfy all people, when I know that I do not have to, but I am trying to, at the end the same result still I am not able to. It's mouthful.

I can only say I should treasure those friends that I have fought with and talked it out and befriended again. Yeah... I know friends that I hang out a lot with, but unable to straight things out. So I just leave it 'curly and crumpled'. Learn and move on with my life, with all cautious act whenever dealing with them. Difficult life? Oh yes, it is... Thus, resolution of the months to come is "Be Kinder to Myself".

I just hope March can end faster, which I do not know I feel that it will solve my problem. You know... time heals me~ And to think it out of the box, out of Singapore, Japan has more serious problem than me, and they are hanging on, why can't I?

This post is easy... No thinking and everything is just sort of blurt out... So don't confuse if you cannot get the meaning of some phrases or words, and wondering why the hack that word appears there, etc. Just move on... don't have too take it too seriously. :D

Eh? Why am I feeling a curve up at both ends of my lips? Feeling better~
