As usual, on my browsing activity, perpetually I hit and check WDC to get the newest topics and comments. And this evening, I found some interesting posts about wisdom, universal love and compasion.

In this post, I just want to share those posts to all of You.

#1 Mother Duck Seeks the Police

^

^

As You can see on those pictures, mother duck was trying to find her kids which had fallen between the ditch-holes. By that, mother duck approached a cop (named Ray Peterson) to seek his help by acting weird.

The confused cop was need to be convinced by the mother duck, until he came to that ditch-hole and finally found what that mother duck was asking for.

Not only smart enough to seek people’s help, that mother duck was not afraid to come over a human. That was all for her kids.

Ketika Induk bebek menyadari anak2nya terjatuh di bawah jeruji selokan, sang Induk kebingungan dan pada saat itu ada seorang Polisi (Ray Peterson) berada di sekitar. Dengan cepat sang Induk bebek segera menghampiri Peterson, Ia terus bertingkah di depannya dan menarik kaki Peterson.
Peterson pun merasa tidak yakin bahwa sang Induk membutuhkan pertolongan dan Ia pikir hal ini adalah konyol. Tetapi sang Induk tidak menyerah, ia terus menarik kaki Peterson dan kemudian berlari ke tempat jatuh anak2nya. Peterson pun mulai curiga, dan akhirnya ia kesana untuk melihat.
“Awalnya saya pikir, hal ini adalah konyol” Kata Peterson kepada Sun Newspaper.
Ia menemukan delapan bebek-bebek kecil di bawah sana. Dan dengan bantuan beberapa warga dan truk, akhirnya jeruji itu ditarik keluar dan sang Induk pun dapat lega bertemu kembali dengan anak2nya. Kemudian warga melepaskan keluarga bebek tersebut ke sungai dekat tempat kejadian.
“Aku tidak pernah menyadari, Jika Bebek lebih pintar dari yang aku kira” tanggapan Peterson kepada wartawan.
“Sebelumnya aku tidak pernah makan bebek, dan aku tidak pernah mau bermimpi untuk memakan mereka”. kata terakhir Peterson kepada wartawan.

#2 Mother Monkey Fight a Wild Dog

I think You’re human enough to comprehend those pictures.

http://www.wihara.com/forum/entertainment/5342-induk-monyet-menyelamatkan-anaknya.html

There were 3 cans of Coke, produced in the same factory.
Until 1 day, they must be distributed separately.

1st stop was on a local supermarket.
And so the 1st can, dropped there and put on a bar display.
That can and the other cans which came earlier were sold Rp4.000.

2nd stop was on a hypermarket.
And so the 2nd can, put in a huge refrigerator to make it cool and could be bought by Rp7.500.

The last stop was on a 5-stars hotel.
And there was the place for the 3rd can.
It wasn’t put in bar display nor refrigerator.
Coke in that 3rd can only available solely with special order, which accompanied by a beautiful crystal glass and some perfect-shaped ice cubes.
When somebody order it, that 3rd can will be placed on a silver platter and served flawlessly by a polite servant.
It costed Rp60.000.

Now, the question is “why those cans, that produced from same factory, with same taste dan distributed by same truck could have different prices?”
It was because the differences between 3 environments.

Your environment speaks about Your “price”.

If Your environment can show the best of You, You’ll be one of the brightest star ever. But if You prefer to stay in a place that can make You do shallow things and feel okay about it, voila, You’re just as shallow as what You’re thinking about Your life.

Ada 3 kaleng coca cola, ketiga kaleng tersebut diproduksi di pabrik yang sama.
Ketika tiba harinya, sebuah truk datang ke pabrik,
mengangkut kaleng-kaleng coca cola dan menuju ke tempat yang berbeda untuk pendistribusian.

Pemberhentian pertama adalah supermaket lokal.
Kaleng coca cola pertama di turunkan disini. Kaleng itu dipajang di rak bersama
dengan kaleng coca cola lainnya dan diberi harga Rp4.000.

Pemberhentian kedua adalah pusat perbelanjaan besar.
Di sana, kaleng kedua diturunkan.
Kaleng tersebut ditempatkan di dalam kulkas supaya dingin dan dijual dengan harga Rp7.500.

Pemberhentian terakhir adalah hotel bintang 5 yang sangat mewah.
Kaleng coca cola ketiga diturunkan di sana.
Kaleng ini tidak ditempatkan di rak atau di dalam kulkas.
Kaleng ini hanya akan dikeluarkan jika ada pesanan dari pelanggan.
Dan ketika ada yang pesan, kaleng ini dikeluarkan besama dengan gelas kristal berisi batu es.
Semua disajikan di atas baki dan pelayan hotel akan membuka kaleng coca cola itu, menuangkannya ke dalam gelas dan dengan sopan menyajikannya ke pelanggan.
Harganya Rp60.000.

Sekarang, pertanyaannya adalah:

Mengapa ketiga kaleng coca cola tersebut memiliki harga yang berbeda padahal diproduksi dari pabrik yang sama, diantar dengan truk yang sama dan bahkan mereka memiliki rasa yang sama.

Lingkungan Anda mencerminkan harga Anda.

Apabila Anda berada dilingkungan yang bisa mengeluarkan terbaik dari diri Anda, maka Anda akan menjadi cemerlang.Tapi bila Anda berada dilingkungan yang meng-kerdil-kan diri Anda, maka Anda akan menjadi kerdil.

(Orang yang sama, bakat yang sama, kemampuan yang sama) + lingkungan yang berbeda = NILAI YANG BERBEDA.

“Tuhan 9 cm”

Oleh : Taufiq Ismail

Indonesia adalah sorga luar biasa ramah bagi perokok, tapi tempat siksa tak tertahankan bagi orang yang tak merokok,

Di sawah petani merokok, di pabrik pekerja merokok, di kantor pegawai merokok, di kabinet menteri merokok, di reses parlemen anggota DPR merokok, di Mahkamah Agung yang bergaun toga merokok, hansip-bintara-perwira nongkrong merokok, di perkebunan pemetik buah kopi merokok, di perahu nelayan penjaring ikan merokok, di pabrik petasan pemilik modalnya merokok, di pekuburan sebelum masuk kubur orang merokok,

Indonesia adalah semacam firdaus-jannatu-na’im sangat ramah bagi perokok, tapi tempat siksa kubur hidup-hidup bagi orang yang tak merokok,

Di balik pagar SMU murid-murid mencuri-curi merokok, di ruang kepala sekolah ada guru merokok, di kampus mahasiswa merokok, di ruang kuliah dosen merokok, di rapat POMG orang tua murid merokok, di perpustakaan kecamatan ada siswa bertanya apakah ada buku tuntunan cara merokok,

Di angkot Kijang penumpang merokok, di bis kota sumpek yang berdiri yang duduk orang bertanding merokok, di loket penjualan karcis orang merokok, di kereta api penuh sesak orang festival merokok, di kapal penyeberangan antar pulau penumpang merokok, di andong Yogya kusirnya merokok, sampai kabarnya kuda andong minta diajari pula merokok,

Negeri kita ini sungguh nirwana kayangan para dewa-dewa bagi perokok, tapi tempat cobaan sangat berat bagi orang yang tak merokok,

Rokok telah menjadi dewa, berhala, tuhan baru, diam-diam menguasai kita,

Di pasar orang merokok, di warung Tegal pengunjung merokok, di restoran di toko buku orang merokok, di kafe di diskotik para pengunjung merokok,

Bercakap-cakap kita jarak setengah meter tak tertahankan abab rokok, bayangkan isteri-isteri yang bertahun-tahun menderita di kamar tidur ketika melayani para suami yang bau mulut dan hidungnya mirip asbak rokok,

Duduk kita di tepi tempat tidur ketika dua orang bergumul saling menularkan HIV-AIDS sesamanya, tapi kita tidak ketularan penyakitnya. Duduk kita disebelah orang yang dengan cueknya mengepulkan asap rokok di kantor atau di stopan bus, kita ketularan penyakitnya. Nikotin lebih jahat penularannya ketimbang HIV-AIDS,

Indonesia adalah sorga kultur pengembangbiakan nikotin paling subur di dunia, dan kita yang tak langsung menghirup sekali pun asap tembakau itu, bisa ketularan kena,

Di puskesmas pedesaan orang kampung merokok, di apotik yang antri obat merokok, di panti pijat tamu-tamu disilahkan merokok, di ruang tunggu dokter pasien merokok, dan ada juga dokter-dokter merokok,

Istirahat main tenis orang merokok, di pinggir lapangan voli orang merokok, menyandang raket badminton orang merokok, pemain bola PSSI sembunyi-sembunyi merokok, panitia pertandingan balap mobil, pertandingan bulutangkis, turnamen sepakbola mengemis-ngemis mencium kaki sponsor perusahaan rokok,

Di kamar kecil 12 meter kubik, sambil ‘ek-’ek orang goblok merokok, di dalam lift gedung 15 tingkat dengan tak acuh orang goblok merokok, di ruang sidang ber-AC penuh, dengan cueknya, pakai dasi, orang-orang goblok merokok,

Indonesia adalah semacam firdaus-jannatu-na’im sangat ramah bagi orang perokok, tapi tempat siksa kubur hidup-hidup bagi orang yang tak merokok,

Rokok telah menjadi dewa, berhala, tuhan baru, diam-diam menguasai kita

those very words, appeared on my Tweet..
and I couldn’t realize that I’ve posted so much things there..
LoL

anyway..
I luv the way wordle showing those words artistically.. keep Tweeting..

yeah, that’s me..
who was officially announced as a Bachelor of Social Science..
it’s mean that I don’t have to go to school anymore, and i can pay more focusses on my life..

anyway, the final test was held just like a seminar..
Oct 20th, my presentation began on 9.11 am..
and just like any usual times before, i was talking about my research; it’s backgrounds, objectives, methods, how was the process, the datas, and other bla bla bla bla bla bla..

tons (quite much, huh) of questions were delivered and (thankfully) i could handle them as smooth as whipped cream, haha..

not only catched by my way of presentation and the way i handled the questions, the jury (counselor and examiners) also impressed with the dishes, snacks and souveniers i provided.. that was the side effect, i suppose..

and the result was an A grade of Bachelor of Social Science.. ^^
hurraaaaay..

From what you can see in my profile page (on Friendster and Facebook), i’m still struggling for Bachelor of Social Science. And on Oct 20th next Tuesday, i’ll have ended it with final comprehension elaboration of my final assignment project.

Until now, i’m having a huge euphoria of self-confident. And we just wait and see, whether it’ll be preserved on that day or not.

Frankly, i’m quite stress about it. LoL

Ramadan will be ended soon..
And as usual, i’ll got rather long vacation..
But, i dun have any ideas, what will i do on that time, on those very 4 days..
And i bet, it’ll be so “無聊” a.k.a. “boring”..

My friends; “3 Fang’s Sisters”, goes to Hongkong, and “My Beloved ‘V’”, will go to Bali tomorrow.. And (GOSH..!!) i’m very pointless until now..

Any idea..??

Yipppiiieeee..!!

Finally Khalil Fong (方大同) released his new album. And of course, it’s a Jazz album. Titled “可啦思刻” or can be read as “Classic” because those character pronounced “ke-la-si-ke”. Consisting of 10 remaked old-jazz songs.

1. You Are The Sunshine of My Life
2. Nothing’s Gonna Change My Life For You
3. Bad
4. 狂潮
5. La Bamba
6. 红豆
7. Georgia On My Mind
8. 记得
9. Wonderful Tonight
10. Moon River

My favourite one is “红豆” or “Red Bean”, it’s so ME with Fong’s style. And about the other one, it’s okay and uniquely nice to listen to.

有些歌 是一辈子的, 无论什么时候出现, 都是新歌o
男孩在自己的房间，拿起吉他，上了弦
他温柔而缓慢地调着这把老吉他，专心的像是世上只有这件事情可以做
一首熟悉的歌慢慢在心中，如轻烟袅袅升起
他弹起了前奏，又唱了两句，然后像是想起什么似的………
原来 这些歌曲
联系着过往和现在的自己
在时空中交错着的
是我们了然于胸的拥抱
方大同 2009自选辑~Timeless:《可啦思刻》
有些歌 是一辈子的, 无论什么时候出现, 都是新歌o
想必你会问方大同：
“为什么会录制这张翻唱作品呢？”
这个问题，其实是另一个问题的答案：
“是什么启发了你的音乐创作？”

2005年出道至今，四张全创作专辑销售与口碑一致受到肯定，不断持续在音乐世界里，燃烧狂热的创作力。创作动听，唱腔独特，而近来唱片圈称许为”唱作灵魂音乐小教父”，备受瞩目的方大同，下一步会是…？
每每发片，总引起各界好奇的想问方大同当初是什么开启了他的音乐创作大门？… 想要挖掘方大同热爱音乐与诱发创作的源头…

3岁半的自主
在父母亲的影响下，生在一个多元音乐的环境中长大，3岁半的方大同就已经在听歌，并且懂得选自己喜欢的歌听，慢慢的也开始喜欢买自己想听的歌曲卡带。他非常明白，他耳朵搜集到的这些音乐，是他学习音乐最刚开始的过程。

5岁的深刻
5岁时，看过一部关于音乐人的传记电影【La Bamba 】，开始了他对音乐与舞台表演浓厚的兴趣。那么小年纪的孩子，却有这番自主和深刻，也许是天份使然，这一切他竟然全部都记得!!!

早在2005年，方大同曾在脑中闪过一个念头…有可能某个时刻他会制作一张属于自己的翻唱自选辑。一部有关于方大同成长意义的自选辑，让自己永远记得回归起点，看见自己在每一个当下被音乐牵引的感动。
虽然听着旧音乐，脑子里转的却是新的编曲，当代的情境，这些歌曲等于经过他的体内又重新被整理了一次。他不时哼唱着这些歌曲，随着旋律的流转变化，兴起他对音乐世界的无比热情，和勇敢想象的信念。

方大同在这次的自选辑里，收录了10首好好听的歌曲，这些旋律在无形之中影响了他的生活，陪伴他的成长，为他的背景添上色彩，给予他音乐创作的养分。
因为真心喜欢这些歌曲，并且每一首都挟带着一篇成长的小故事，对方大同来说，重新诠释这些歌曲，不时有种不可忽视的情感在；明显感到和面对自己创作时的心情不大相同，但同样都觉得好玩有玩出兴味来。

入选的10首曲目，每首歌都有一篇专属于方大同和歌曲之间，成长过程的专属内心故事。专辑首波率先主打单曲：【红豆】，在大同11几岁重回上海，这个孩提时候成长的地方，发现当时身边的朋友都很喜欢在K歌房点唱这首歌，几乎是大合唱!!!所以这首【红豆】的旋律令他感到很有怀念的气氛。
好的旋律不因时间而改变
透过他的声音 记忆永恒的经典

JAZZ is GREAT..!!

workshop session

As a journalist and a blogger (unofficially), it has been kinda shocking when I heard that Blogging Workshop (Blogshop) - road to Pesta Blogger 2009 - also held in Samarinda. The objectives of this workshop were to gather blogger from Samarinda, to give further introduction upon blog and blogging activities and to promote the Pesta Blogger 2009 that will be “celebrated” on October.

Based on the committee’s comments, Blogshop in Samarinda was beyond expectation. A great cooperation with local committee, a great support from local government, a great support from local media, and a HUGE appreciation from the participants which was dominate by high school student, college student, teacher and lecturer.

Our expectation was just like 40 participants. So that’s why we just prepared 40 PCs. With consequence, additional participants should bring their own laptop. In fact, Blogshop in Samarinda was the biggest one compare with another previous cities (Malang, Semarang, Bandung and Balikpapan).

It means, Samarinda has an unique quality of blogger and blogger community. And unofficially, I’m proud of it. Although, my blog (this one) is just an ordinary personal blog. ^o^

It’s been a quite long interval between this post with the previous one..
And surely, there were so many things had happened on me.. They were particularly unique, and each one of them had their own impact on what I’m dealing with now..
From a great occasion (I considered it as that one) where I found a “V”, a true one that extremely suitable for my life and my vow to be a better man..
The other one was my first backpacking time to Malaysia and Changi Airport Singapore (yeah, wasting my time in Singapore by just stuck in airport) with lack of prepared plans, so I must be a trouble for my friend Daniel Teoh, Sharon Soh, Ryan Lee, Oi Ying and the others..
And the recent one, when I’m struggling to be a trusted man for the precious “V”.. And so far, I can attain some success upon that matter.. LoL..

All I can conclude, each and every event mentioned above considered as Another Hurricane, of happiness, in my life..
And I’m glad of it..
P.s.
As an impact of another hurricane, I made this post on my ..
In fact, this is my first post from ..
Feels nice actually..
