Flood in Kemang!

it's rainy season! and i was about going home after working pretty hard at work and it was raining!! because of having a blue raincoat, i was sure it would be okay going home although the rain was so hard and there was no signal to stop pouring in a near time so i hit it.

i was going to the road where new type of apartment is being built, there's a nice hotel with hanging rocks in front of the lobby (they just put it last month, i reckon, and it is pretty art-ish-ic), there are line up international and famous restaurants and people love going in and out from there especially on Saturday night, everyone loves hanging out there. and this one of many roads to be the entrance to and exit out of Kemang.

it was pretty shocking when i saw the water came from the ditch and closed gutter channel at the both sides of the road. but i was keep going because it quite a jam to go out of it. the current from the water was actually turned me down, in case it would take my motorcycle down and broke and i had to pull it to the surface land :)

the water ( i mean) the brown-ish water dipped my motorcycle almost half of it and it scaried me where i had seen two or three other rider drag their motorcycle from the flooded road. but i kept being steady to see what would happen to me and kept praying to God to pull it through. and Thank God, i did it. Yeah!

it would be the second time to experience it actually, the first one would be with my dad, he was riding it and i was making video of it with my old cellphone of mine and it was two of us, so i felt save and this time i was alone and i couldn't imagine if i had to pull it through where every people stayed on the surface watching and waiting the flood drained. HAH, that would take too long, buddies!

so, it was realy bad knowing it happens to the road which is so potential for everyone to go in and out easily and actually it seems like it's the main road to everywhere.

Rest in Peace, Gus Dur!

He was the 4th President of Indonesia and one of the powerful man here in this crowded country. In 2001, he had to be removed from his power and replaced by his vice-president, Megawati who was the first ever woman who became the president.

His ever best religious views would like he said ..

"All religions insist on peace. From this we might think that the religious struggle for peace is simple ... but it is not. The deep problem is that people use religion wrongly in pursuit of victory and triumph. This sad fact then leads to conflict with people who have different beliefs"

He will be memorized by the people of Indonesia for his knowledge and now the people will support him to be our one of the national hero.

it's been long time not to write

i dunno what i have to say but hey, it's been very busy days all the way through to the new years.

Indonesia is still the same, traffic jam all the way to the place where i was intended to celebrate my new year celebration. and we had a problem with the vehicle that we were using, ran out the gas!!! haha

so, instead having new year eve in a relax way, we hunted down the gas station around the kelapa gading! :( it was fun though..

we found one which was still operated 24 hrs far away from the target place. wishes have been asked and i was with the pone that i love, that would be perfect :)
