Apa sih arti reuni? Bertemu teman lama, catch up, ketawa ketiwi ingat kelakuan masa lalu. Dan apabila masa lalu itu sudah 25 tahun lewat, maka reuni menjadi semakin bermakna.
Apalagi bila dalam kurun 25 tahun, sudah ada 1 teman dan 3 guru yang dipanggil Allah Yang Maha Kuasa.
Apalagi bila, tadi sore saat seleksi foto-foto untuk [...]

Where do I belong?
Posted in personal musings, rants, work on February 18, 2010 | 1 Comment »
After back-to-back meetings on managing academic programs, this thought crept into my mind, unwanted:
this is you now. you are now reduced to a middle manager. you are no longer a scientist. you have not produced a decent research project in years, and you have not been involved in any research projects.
Aaaaargh!
Can it really be [...]
Why I love My Mom: Silly conversations
Posted in Indonesia, just for fun, personal musings on January 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I was in a discussion with my Vice Rector (aka “My Boss”) when suddenly my mobile flashed with “CIPUTAT” on the screen. That meant my parent’s home. As a rule, I always answer their calls whenever possible so excusing myself I answered.
Me: “Yes Mom?”
Mom: “Still at the office?”
Me: “Yes, in discussion”
Mom: “Just wanted to tell [...]
Hey, this horoscope sounds right!

My daily horoscope today:
You might have conflicting emotions about what you want to do today. On one hand, you understand that it’s crucial to follow through and deliver what others are expecting from you. On the other hand, you are tired of always being the one who has to ride to the rescue at the [...]
Sometimes, being all grown up (and single) just… sucks.

Please pardon my language
Since jumping on the social networking bandwagon and joined by a gaggle of young(er) cousins, you can’t help but feel, oh, I don’t know, old? :::Smile:::
Case: Just yesterday one of said young(er) cousins announced that her mobile was broken beyond repair and she was looking for advice for a [...]
Pendidikan Tinggi, Mahal (tapi Perlu)
Posted in personal musings, teacher, work on December 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Sebagian tulisan ini saya buat sebagai respon email di suatu terhadap artikel ini. Kalau karena editorial seperti ini masyarakat yang secara ekonomi kurang mampu sampai tidak berani mendaftar ke perguruan tinggu yang diinginkan, bolehkah saya melaporkan media massa karena pemberitaan yang berpihak dan tidak sepenuhnya benar? Masa cuma infotainment yang melaporkan Luna Maya?
Sudah lama saya [...]

does a President need to “clarify” things to an author?
Apa karena pengarang itu George Aditjondro, keeper of all things anti corruption? Padahal isi buku yang judulnya serem itu, konon adalah studi literatur terhadap informasi yang sudah terbit?
Dulu, jaman Orde Baru Pak Harto, saat informasi (sangat) terbatas bila dibandingkan saat ini, buku seperti “Membongkar Gurita Cikeas” [...]

The Heart is not Rational
Posted in personal musings, work on November 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
About five years ago, a certain “event” caused to me to utter the phrase “Matter of the hearts is never rational”.
And how true that is. While biologically, the Heart (Bahasa Indonesia: “Jantung”) is the major organ in our body which distributes absolutely important oxygen to our cells, we often use the word “heart” (Bahasa [...]
