Jakarta Flona Festival 2011

I've told you that I'm a biggest fan of flower. And on Friday 22nd of July in the middle of my busy work hours, my friends asked me to join them to Jakarta Flona (Flora and Fauna) Festival 2011 in Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta. Luckily that wasn't very far from my office, it took only 15 minutes by car. Aaaannd yupiiieee, I was so glad seeing so many flowers and other plants out there.

And I found a heaven there...., simply like this. They're so colorful, bright, and fresh as you can see from the picture.

Do you know things about flowers?

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, "Flowers, are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." And for me, yes absolutely they are. They're just like the most beautiful product God creates to the face of the earth. They give earth fragrance, their colors speak beauty, and when they bloom it seems that they give a hope to life.

Can you see that flowers have their own characteristic and personality? They bring emotion, any kind of emotion; happiness, cheer, strength, sadness, hope, femininity, or even power.

Here some women seemed to buy some plants.

As this was Flona Festival, of course it's not only about the floral, but also the faunas, even tho I rarely saw animals there. Most of them were just pets, and you know what? I'm not that interested enough in pet except this one attracted my attention. These cocks (ops! I think I should choose another diction) I mean these roosters can really laugh. They made me laugh their laughter ha ha ha. Seriously, the can laugh a human laughter.

"Bagai Pasir di Tanah itu, Aku Tak Harus jadi Penting" (Seno Gumira)

Saya mengutip dari Seno Gumira "Bagai pasir di tanah itu, saya tak harus jadi penting." Karena saya adalah hanya saya, dan kesayaan inilah yang mungkin membuat saya berfikir bahwa saya tidaklah harus menjadi penting dan dipergunjingkan. Ini adalah hidup saya. Saya yang menjalaninya dan sayalah pula yang akan menanggung akibat dari baik atau buruknya suatu perbuatan yang saya lakukan, dan saya mencoba sangat untuk bertanggung jawab atas itu semua. Lalu anggaplah saya hanya sebagai pasir yang terhampar pada gundukan tanah itu, tak ada gunanya memperhatikan saya karena saya hanyalah materi yang mungkin sama dan tak penting. Tapi kenapa sepertinya kehidupan saya menjadi hal yang menarik untuk dibicarakan. Saya tidak sedang merasa sebagai selebritis, tapi saya hanya merasa kehidupan saya yang sudahlah amat cukup terisolasi oleh ketidakhadiran dan ketidakpentingan saya, menjadi terusik. Sebenarnya pula saya bisa saja tidak peduli akan semua itu, seperti ketidakpedulian mereka terha

Quatrain About a Pot

"On a nameless clay I see your face once more My eyes are not that dim, obviously for seeing what is not there What is the worth of this pot, anyway, save part illusion? something that will break one day and for us to make eternal" (Goenawan Mohamad)

The Boy Who never Listened

One day a mother said to her son, "I must go out now and do some shopping. I want you to look after the house." "Yes, mother," the boy said. But he was not listening. He was interested only in his game. "There are three people will come to the house: first the butcher, then my friend and lastly a beggar," his mother explained. "Are you listening to me?!" cried the mother. "Yes, Mom," said the boy, but his eyes didn't leave his game. "Very well, when the butcher comes, tell him that his meat is too fat and he must never come here again!" ordered the mother. "Ask my friend to come in and give her a cup of tea. Finally give the pile of old clothes by the door to the beggar. Do you understand??" "All right Mom," answered the boy but still playing with his game. The mother went out and soon there was a knock at the door. The boy put his game down and went to open it. He saw a pile of clothes by the door. &qu
