New Pages

Since two days ago my house is painted. The whole interior is on project. Now the time is coming for my study room to be done, too. I was trying to pack all books—and knick knacks—in that room, and found out…it’s too much! This house has been inhabited by 4 peoples before. My eldest sister, second sis, and my bro. Thus, thank to all their ‘inheritances’…which I feel as a trespasser to just throw them away. Now, after all those years, particularly after 2 years abandoning this house, I need to gather all my energy to clean this 3x4 metersquare room, make it ready for repainting. I just successfully packed 3 boxes of books…only books. And there are still twenties—I hope—of them; exclude those old books from college... even highschool~ In addition to that, my bachelor degree final project maquette. Well yeah…too romantic to keep it, right? But everytime I remembered that it took me— plus Victor, Peggy and many other friends —2 sleepless night to build that, I feel so irresponsible to dump

The 265th Pope

within 24 hrs they've found the new Pope. He is Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, a priest from Germany. As a Catholic, I'm thankful for that... thou after reading his profile , he looks like a conservative hard liner... But isn't it unfair to give early judgement? God knows...what will be the best in His way Willkommen zum Papst Benedict XVI

Today was my first yoga class. It was amazing...how slow movement and breathing can make you sweat! I just know that I'm not that flexible... but well, it was my first class... 2 hours, once a week... gonna be a new excitement.

I heard this just this morning from Mbak Pras. Browsing for the official website, I got this link. It will be in Köln this coming August.... She told me that it might cost around 1300 USD, that's alot. For the matter of fact, it reminds me of Taize last year... and above of all, it triggers my yearning on Europe. hmm...1300USD is alot. But it's gonna be lots of fun! Now there are India and Köln on the list... So Wolfgang, are you coming? I checked it's only 209 km from Heidelberg, not that far..isn't it?

another quake at Padang . The epicentre of the quake, which had an estimated magnitude of 6.7, was about 120km (75 miles) south-west of the city of Padang, officials said. [BBC Online]

this is Nias...I'm not allowed~for now~to join the surveyor team... wait till they have proper WC ok..I know, we-females-need extra sanitation on certain degree [on certain period of time]... over there recently they even have no enough water for shower. a bit dissapointed yet I don't wanna be anybody burden...so will just stay here, for awhile. but they make me feel as if I'm too girlie to join the team, puleeaaassee! it's Charles-Camilla bigday, I found strange those sins-admitting things~ yet anyway, I guess they found that nothing after 35 years holding themselves...consider what they've passed within those years...Isn't it great, to embrace marriage?

It is now a week with blocked nose. Yet I still survived to be my Mom’s private driver in Jakarta…and in Bandung too. No frowning face thou, I enjoyed my 4 days full of driving in Jakarta. 1st day: from Bandung to Jakarta, stopped by Taman Anggrek, indulged myself in not-expensive hair salon, just to make me look fresher. I need that, after 4 hrs driving with blocked nose and ears. Then off for a meeting at Universitas Tarumanegara. 2nd day: picked up my Mom at airport, around 8:15 her plane landed. Then, directly to Serpong, to see my uncle, mom’s 5th brother. Afterwards, we went to Mangga dua, still nice, since I was driving for the 1st time to that place, it’s always amazing to explore new routes. Accompanying my Mom do her purchasing means more then 2 hours strolling around. Around 17:00 we off to Nat’s house at Puri Kembangan, believe me, I really understand now what they say as ‘live on the street’. Thanks to the technology called ‘mobile phone’ otherwise I might have lost my wa

It’s late but I’m glad I’ve finished the presentation. It’s a crash project. I met this guy named Herlambang, he helped us with calculation for a bridge steel construction and now a steel house construction. He is a steel specialist civil engineer, but with superbrain in computer programming. He has designed several program for steel corporations, and just now he designed a GIS based program named Geotrace® . Before, he only did that for Road and Bridge Management System , but after some short discussion with me, I suggested him to make a comprehensive networking system, that able to sychronize all data from each governmental institution [of a city] that deals with Urban Planning. For instant, Town Planning Department, consist of Water Management, Road and Transportation Management, Housing, etc. In the other Departments, there are Land Department, Data and Statistic Department, etc etc. Each of this department work separately, and everytime people like me needs a integrated data, we
