Kok aku becanda terus?

Ehhhhh…. siapa bilang? Aku tuh orangnya serius abis. Tapi kelamaan serius, jadinya kenceng juga. So, becanda sedikit boleh lah. Banyak apalagi. Tapi, becandaku nggak bisa menandingi Lik Sumar, kolegaku yang lagi sewot-sewotnya sama aku itu. Kalau dia sih sudah di ambang kegilaan. Serius.

Tapi menurut teori Freudagnesian, yang lahir setelah Lacanian, kegemaranku becanda dimotori oleh perasaan [...]

KB: Satu anak cukup!

Entah kenapa program KB “2 anak cukup” seakan lenyap dari sejarah bangsa kita. Mungkin karena dekat asosiasinya dengan Orde Baru. Banyak hal boleh saja diganyang dari rezim lama, tapi kenapa yang juga “the most thoughtful and brilliant program” semacam KB ikut dibasmi? Terus terang aku nggak bisa ngerti.
Aku hidup di kota yang tak lagi nyaman [...]

Cookie time!

It must have been one fine, fine day. At the 2008’s A. I. final, nothing compares to David Cook, not even angelic face Archie. Cook is IT! To Widya, sorry, sis… Your DA needs a few more years to outshine DC

Boy, I love to see men in tears!

The English Roulette Aftermath

Man Utd came out champions in the dramatic Champions League final against Chelsea. I’d name Owen Hargreaves and Patrice Evra men of the match, while Wayne Rooney the worst (the whole squad should throw pencils at him!)

Ronaldo was a very lucky man today. But I feel like hugging John Terry of Chelsea.

So much as I cherish the moment I met this inspirational man and how much I was enlightened and transformed (from an ugly duckling to [...]

When the red devils prevail

It was kind of horrific last night to see Sir Alex Ferguson sing We Are the Champions, but hey, his squad are 2007/2008 Premiere League Champions!

Ignore, clicked!

Not paying attention can sometimes be the most generous thing one could possibly do to someone else. I am not mainly defending my cruel act, I am also doing it on behalf of those who did this to me. The reason is simple: to minimize unwanted consequences (of paying attention, of course!)
Take this as an [...]

The jumping jack

A British man jumped off a balcony on the 21st floor and landed on a playground on the 5th floor of an apartment building in Jakarta! Here’s what ticked me. His laptop traveled with him in the lethal short trip. Reported was the guy was a journalist, so it made sense his attachment to his [...]

Mr. Todd, finale

There are things that stick in your mind even when you hate them. Especially when you hate them. But I didn’t hate Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, I just found it gory. I watched it in a friend’s place in Jakarta two days ago (yeah right! A smartass as I am, I wrote a 16-page essay [...]
