Treasuring Friendship
2008-04-19 13:37:00 Greetings. Unlike regular mornings, I woke up without an alarm clock that Sunday morning. Grateful for a good sleep, I rolled over to reach my phone on the bedside.

Statues at Soekarno Hatta
2008-04-16 16:08:00 I'm an Indonesian of Javanese descent, and a citizen of the universe. That's one of my 'oaths' that I wrote in Sumpah Aroengbinang. I didn't ask to be born as a Javanese or Indonesian, and hence I just accept it as fact of my life, and fact is neutral. As an Indonesian from Javanese origin I... [[ This is a content summary only.

Heaven for All
2008-04-12 14:32:00 It is human when people praise a hero and condemn the villain, admire a saint and despise evil doer. It is also equally human, however, to act the other way around. Good and evil persons are often products of times and positions, either from the point of view of just a gang of people or allies of... [[ This is a content summary only.

Sam Poo Kong Temple

Tiananmen Square
