Si Sugeng

Ini bukan nama supir atau tukang kebun Oma. Tapi ini nama seekor anjing di Belanda.

Begini ceritanya.

It was Sinterklaas party, on the 5th of December. Jadi beberapa hari yang lalu. On that day, we exchanged presents, had dinner together, and played with the Crew kids (anak-anak yang Oma babysit selama ini).

Emily, Hannah and Tim dapet hadiah dari Oma, Bang Tepy, dan of course, dari mami papinya. They are all excited! Namanya anak kecil ya. Dapet boneka, mainan binatang-binatangan, permen, banyaaaak deh! Yang gede aja mpe iri :P (read: Oma iri).

Nah, si Emily, dapet hadiah boneka anjing yang ditaruh di dalam kandang anjing kecil. Persis kayak Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, atau Britney Spears. Cute lah! Kayak gambar ini nih!
Bang Tepy, yang benar-benar dicintai anak-anak the Crew, ikutan main sama anjing itu. Tiba-tiba si Emily berlari-lari mencari Oma yang lagi duduk di ruang tamu, sambil berkata "this doggy's name is Su..."

I didn't hear her clearly. "What? Who is he?" I asked again. Emily repeated "Sugeng."

*ngakak*

Oma ngakak abis, sambil melihat ke arah sumber kegilaan ini: Bang Tepy. Of course lah, Bang Tepy yang memberikan nama pada anjing itu!

Yap, resmilah si boneka anjing lucu tak berdosa itu bernama Sugeng.

I can't imagine what it would be if Emily played with her friends.

Friend: Hey, Emily! You have new dog.
Emily: Yeah, I got it from Sinterklaas. I love it
Friend: Does it have a name?
Emily: Of course.
Friend: What is the name? Mine is spotty
Another friend: My dog is browny
Emily: Mine is Sugeng
Friends: ???? (their jaws drop)

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee

Pluralism: My Version

plu`ral-ism (-noun) condition in which minority groups participate in society, yet maintain their distinctions. Today is Chinese New Year. Being Indonesian-Born-Chinese (IBC), my family has always been taking part in this celebration. No, we were not really doing the rituals, but as a child, I always had fun hunting Hung Bao (small amount of money put in an red envelop). Another memory about Chinese New Year is it was the time when my favorite cousines came from Malang. We would play; and they would possibly have sleepover. It was my childhood. However, I cannot recall what happened when I was slightly older. But I still remember that my mom told me to be an Indonesian. She would say "Nia, you are not Chinese. You are Indonesian." Or she would remind me that I have to respect Indonesian people in spite of their attitude toward ethnic Chinese. She said "We have a confusing story. If we would say we are Chinese, we would be kicked out from this country. Thus we would prob
