Thank for Hospitality

A year ago, during fasting day on Ramadhan, I met them all. Billitone family, Yuwono, Wellington, Kikih and all jolly,merry cheerful people.

It is a shame that I just now say, thanks for hospitality.

Changi: Terminal 3 (Again)


Walking around without destination (again!) with Wellington during weekend in Terminal 3. It is terminal for Airbus A380 and more like a shopping mall instead of airport. then suddenly got a call from Togar that he stopped by in Singapore and wanted to walk around.

After waiting for few moments in Changi then we went together to downtown with Tigor .

63 Years Later, a perspective of History


lahir seorang besar dan tenggelam beratus ribu
keduanya harus dicatat, keduanya dapat tempat
(Chairil Anwar - Catatan Tahun 1946)


From This Post, a year ago when I visited Rengasdengklok . I received comment from Mr. Wikana's grandson. stating that his grandfather is basically missing in 1966 after the political turmoil in 1965 (reader is to be advised to maintain critical and objective approach when read it).

As one of youth leader it is hard to find source of Wikana on the net; while wikana's name is mentioned in wikipedia, there is no description at all. Wikana only mentioned only as a cabinet minister without portfolio in Sjahrir Cabinet II and III, Amir Sjarifuddin I and II representing Indonesia Communist Party. After that period, nothing is mentioned about Wikana. It seemed that he only became footnote in history after early stage in Indonesia Proclamation.
