Mystery of a couple

I was having lunch with the current most famous Indonesian in NTU, who is happened to be my close neighbour as well. After the short lunch, we had a small chat about “having a girlfriend”. It reminded me to an observation that I had postulated long time ago. This thought came upon me when I was waiting in a mall with one of my senior. We observed that most of the couples constituted one of the following combination options:
  1. Handsome man and a not so pretty woman OR
  2. A Pretty woman and a not so good looking man

Disclaimer: I said “most” of the couple. Hence if you are part of the handsome + pretty couple, you are the exception.


I suggested several reasons for this trend:

  1. The good looking individual admires the character of the not-so-good-looking person. It can be the personality, the LOVE, the wealth, the inner beauty, etc.

  2. Another possible reason is that most of the good looking individuals are so proud of themselves that make them reluctant to go and search for a couple. Many of them think that they are worthy to be desired by the opposite sex as they are handsome or beautiful. Imagine if both the handsome and pretty individuals are not looking for couple and not putting effort to propose, when will they match?


Morals of the story are:

  1. Don’t think that the only reason for the good and not-so-good couple is merely money. It can be one of the reasons but not always.

  2. If you are pretty or handsome, go and search for your couple now! Don’t wait for a handsome prince or beautiful princess to come and give you an “invitation to treat”

Karantina on Fire

Today around 9.30am, I was woken up by the ring of my mobile phone. It was a message from brother, David. I used to ignore any message received when I was on bed but this time I instantaneously woke up from my sleep and grabbed the handphone. It said in bahasa Indonesia:

“Ko, karantina kebakaran.tp uda reda.semua selamat .ama skrg di ruma goi”

Yeah it’s not a proper bahasa Indonesia and today was not an April Fool day. Oops.. let me translate it into English, or maybe Singlish:

“Bro, karantina on fire. but it’s in control now. Everyone OK. Grandma is now in
aunt’s house”

“Karantina” refers to my grandma’s house where I used to stay in. I have been staying there for at least seven years, I guess. It was located on Jalan Karantina (the address). That is why we call it with such a funny name, e.g. karantina means isolation in english. After reading that message, I called my brother’s handphone and asked for more details.

According to my brother the fire was originated from the workshop that was located just behind my grandma’s house. It happened in the early morning. I can’t imagine how scary the condition was as they have to leave the house from the second floor of the house, it’s through the window.

Everything is fine now. We lose half of the house but I really thank God for His protection to ones that I love. One of my aunts experiences minor injuries but I heard it is not too serious. All of them move to my parent’s house that had been left empty for long time. Please pray for my family. I hope this trauma will not haunt them for a long time.

Pre-exam celebration

Wooohooo....!!! I am just too excited that I can’t concern to my study. Yeah... the exam is coming. Today is just simply too wonderful for me. Thanks God for giving me such wonderful friends around me. I hope I can always be a good friend to them also... Thanks for celebrating my birthday, MAE-ers... although it is too early... and to Blazers as well.... Two thumbs for the organizers

I was surfing some schools website with one of my friends tonight. He went to SMU Sutomo’s webpage. Surprisingly it was not online anymore. Strange huh!!! Yeah it’s strange! But we came out with a powerful online business idea from there... Guess what.... hahaha... sorry it’s a big plan of us... not for public disclosure!
Anyway... it is another blessing for me and I am just too excited to start the business... Will we make it happen? Wait for the next post...

In spite of those blessings, I am started to worry for myself. My worries are:

- Am I too business minded? Am I only thinking about money and business? I am afraid that I will be too focused on them... and forget about others (Pray that God will always remind me of all this!)

- Can I always be a good friend? A friend that can always help others... I am just too scared to be a best friend of others cause I really don’t think I am that good!


Hope I can be the contrary of the above bad points. Amin....
