Oh the sinners of Valdez, thy sins hath not been cleansed
- I'VE RECEIVED MY ASSOCIATION OF INDONESIAN TRANSLATORS MEMBERCARD!!! I'm truly a professional translator now! LOL
- Bayou and I are eyeing an Indonesian illustrator to provide illustrations for my children's book. We're planning the layout right now :)
- Dear Bank Mandiri, if there's still no news about my credit card, just to let you know, as an embracer of the Red Devils religion, I'm thinking of switching to Bank Danamon's Manchester United Credit Card.
- A friend of mine, let's just call him Ratman (that's my nickname for him), went ballistic in an Exxon Mobil-sponsored journalistic event yesterday. "We were being indoctrinated," he told me, "we were given Exxon shirts and were asked to raise hands and shouted Tomodachi! Tomodachi! Exxon! Exxon!"
During the event, he was forced to receive a phonecall from his bank. It was an important call concerning some money-transfer. Suddenly a foreign woman shouted to him, "Shut down your phone, or we'll confiscate it!"
In an anger, Ratman threw his old Motorola cellphone* to the stage. It shattered to pieces, and Ratman shouted, "You could have asked me politely. You could have come near me to tell me, please shut down your phone, or receive it outside. This is my country, you're only a guest here!"
.......Well, I know Ratman; one of the few people here who are true scientist at heart with their hardened philosophy - Exxon's notorious reputation as environmental criminals is of course not making him happy - but throwing a cellphone in front of highschool students are a bit... hmmm... violent?
*You know, the kind with 'anti-theft feature'. By that I mean, the phone's too old that no thief would want to steal it anyway.
- Hadouken! sounds like the remix version of Klaxons thrown in a blender with some VHS or Beta. Methinks.
- Yesterday I saw the student who was afraid of people - he still looked very timid, but he was walking, talking and smiling with a friend. I was so glad that he's changed.
