Friday's rain at Jakarta

It was friday, July 15th 05. Jakarta was having a very heavy rain. 2 times. My office (even it's in the 4th floor) got flooded. The water was pouring from the roof, the gutter on the roof was clogged up, so the water spilled in to my room.

08.00 PM, I finaly decided to went home. I looked at my fuelmeter, there's 2 bars left. Usualy... I can use these 2 bars to ride from home to offiece back and forth. So I thought.. I'll just fill it up tomorrow. But then.. when I start to move my motorcycle to Tamrin Sudirman, things got even worse. I crawled from my office to "Kebon sirih 4 junction". It was supposed to be only 5 minutes trip. But I ride for 1 hour!!! I was stuck in the traffic jam and loosing my fuel. So I took left to Kebon Sirih area. But then... I also found out.. it's JAM! I can't move!! and I can't turn around. It's a one way street. So.. I decided to stop and call for help. I remember that my friend stayed near bye. I called him.

He told me that he didn't have any fuel either.. so we both waited out. 11.00 PM, the road was a bit clear from cars. We then decided to go to the nearest gas station. I got home at 00.00 AM the next day! I took 4 hours for a 1.5 hour trip. Huahhhh.. exhaousting!!!

I just found out that, the flood reached HI's Junction. It was as high as a grownup's calf. Fortunately I didn't have to go through that junction.

Bendera setengah tiang

Kemarin, tepatnya tanggal 17 Agustus 2011, (katanya) hari itu, 66 tahun yang lalu, Indonesia Merdeka. Kata mereka .. yang memperoleh data dari buku-buku sejarah yang kadang-kadang beda satu dengan lainnya. Waktu rezim Soeharto, seluruh rakyat Indonesia diwajibkan untuk menaikkan bendera merah putih sampai puncaknya. Tapi kemarin, sampe hari ini, saya pribadi menaikkan bendera setengah tiang. Bendera merah putih, sebagai bendera negara. Bendera yang sudah diperkenalkan oleh rakyat Indonesia, sejak sebelum merdeka. Merdeka atau Mati .. itu slogan mereka dulu. Merah yang artinya berani dan putih berarti suci, dipakai sebagai warna bangsa, tanpa menambahkan embel2 gambar lainnya. Bendera yang dikibarkan setinggi tiang biasanya dilakukan pada saat memperingati kemerdekaan/kemenangan Sementara bendera setengah tiang biasanya dilakukan pada saat memperingati kematian atau kesedihan. Untuk hari kemerdekaan tahun ini, saya harus menaikkan bendera setengah tiang. Untuk ngenenang para pahla
