Hurry, the Work is Waiting

and my food is good

people loves to eat

serve them all equally

call me Faisal!

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road

Plato: For the greater good.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.

Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!

Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.

Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.

B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will.

Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Johann von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.

John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the transportation, so quite understandably the chicken availed himself of the opportunity.

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

The Godfather: I didn't want its mother to see it like that.

Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have, you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the Need to resist such a public Display of your own lamentable and incorrigible Ignorance.

Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.

Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in town ought never expose one to such barbarous inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the chicken in question.

Kafka: Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.

Whitehead: Clearly, having fallen victim to the fallacy of misplaced concreteness.

Cigarette Smoking Man

The Cigarette Smoking Man is a key figure in the conspiracy, carrying out much of their dirty work, calling on the help of certain sections of the FBI. Working with Agent Krycek, the Cigarette Smoking Man has overseen the frustration of Mulder and Scully's efforts to uncover the truth.

An enigmatic figure, the Cigarette Smoking Man was once a friend of Mulder's parents, and may even be Mulder's real father! But we're never sure. All we can tell is that he's a shady figure. An investigation by the Lone Gunmen once hinted that the Cigarette Smoking Man was responsible for everything from the death of JFK to fixing the Oscars.

Having parted company with Krycek on bitter terms, the Cigarette Smoking Man continued to work for the conspiracy, until political arguments forced him into a somewhat more obscure role. Dying of cancer, he was last seen being pushed down a flight of stairs by Krycek.

On Children

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.


You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.


(Khalil Gibran)

School's Out!

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
'Cause they found new toys

Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag


No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

(Alice Cooper)

Sunday With Daughters

So I promised them on Friday, that we will play basketball, saturday evening, after taking a bath, they wore unusual clothes.
They said, we will wear these, so tomorrow morning, we just wake up and play basketball

Rain, make the ground worst
and we play on other side of the field




while Yola still practising








and athena was quite good
but the happiness' gone by the enemy, Thirsty as usual, awaiting for 'Teh Botol'
and home we go

Going Home, I Am and Be Back Soon Afterthat!

Here we go with the Controls Man, working midnight as usual
while He tried to convince me, that i have more than enough budget for any activities
Alas, Should i believe, as i stared to the lamps on narrow streets
But who cares since Now the time has come to back where i belong
and Be Back Soon we'll talk later, i said!

Ecce Signum!

Alphanumeric sign everywhere
sometimes a picture is added for clarity
and surely confusion occurs!
international sign, national sign, any signs will surround you
and you just follow the path
lead by your gut feeling

Street Vendors

Cellular Phone Casing

Umbrella Ice Man and shoes from Italy

Pirate VCD and DVD

All are in hurry

while the peaceful pace ones

are waiting









and prepare

Beyond The Sea

Somewhere beyond the sea

Somewhere waiting for me

My lover stands on golden sands

And watches the ships that go sailin'

No more sailing

So long sailing

Bye bye sailing...

(Beyond The Sea - Kevin Spacey)

Toy From The Past

When and where do you see the toy below, last time in your life?

It is more than 30 years ago for me,

the sound of tack, tack, tack, from ship movement, the smell of oil burning, bring childhood once again

Under The Shadow of Cathedral

little girl looking for softdrink

a piano teacher looking for pupils

all the toy and food

and smiling oldman

Soulmate

Always meet them, everyday when I jump the bandwagon to Jakarta or back to Bogor. I never know the relationship between them, but they have problem with eyes, for sure

They will sing with their Karaoke Machine, cruising inside the wagon

a locking device, is a sign of unsafe, insecure, unable to comprehend the situation outside, unsure, anxious and unconfident to environment

a lock is also a sign of the owner is not there yet

The Waiting Game

Wait, with the paper filling the time

with mind wandering

Wait, until the coffe is empty

Wait, until smiling left

Electroplating

I do not quite understand, why Nickel will be electroplated by Chrome, or i miss the terminology they use here


It's Ziko, plating gold in several microns, to make all irons shining like gold


and There is a customer already in the morning, waiting for plating

Morning Has Broken

Hurry, as you may be late

Hurry, so you dont watch your surrounding

but again, why in a hurry, when there is always tomorrow?
