Let's Our Assistant Meet Her Son

This story is begun when i arrived at my lodge. At that time i saw a five -year-old boy with her mother that we know as our assistant. I asked her about the boy.

"Is he your son" i asked her.
"Yess, he is my son and just arrived here along with my husband from Bumiayu", she said.

Then, i feel pity for her. Because he  has left her son and her husband in her town for working here.
And i just wonder  about her husband.
Is her husband working?
Of course I don't know about it. But i think if her husband as a truly breadwinner she won't work here in crowded Jakarta.

As i know Javanese women they are very strong. They are as a truly breadwinner not their husband.
My firiends and me, we have the same sight about her.
She is the most innocent assistant that we ever had here and she is newcomer here. 
I mean, she cant hide something. If i have a bone to pick for something she will report it to the owner of our lodge. She can't be more selective to what our saying. Which one must be kept, must be shared or told to other.

But we agree that she is so kind. I believe she will never become a sudden unpredictable assistant just like the other that we ever had. But don't forget with the Job, stay focus even though husband and child around you.
And  if i were the owner of lodge i would do the same with The Mrs. to let her gather with her little family occasionally.

Jam Gadang

Have you ever been to Bukittinggi, West Sumatera?
Yup, if somebody asks me like that, i absolutely will answer, "yes, i  have ever been to Bukittinggi and seen Gadang watch or jam gadang"....  heheehehe,...
Finally, i can experience myself ..... what is Jam Gadang  like... and Just see these the pictures :


Jam Gadang, Buktitinggi
Pose in front of Jam Gadang
Notice for number 4, it can be seen IIII not IV
Unfortunately, when i saw it, the sky was cloudy but it didin't bother me at all.
according to the guide's explanation, it is said, Jam Gadang is built in 1826 and the watch itself came from the Dutch in 1926 brought through bayur bay. It is believed that the machine of this watch there are only two in the world. The other is Big Ben in england.
Then, the architect of Jam Gadang is Sutan Rajo Gigi Ameh. The Guide also told me in Bukittinggi, it is forbidden to build  a building higher than Jam Gadang. So, Jam Gadang is the maximum of height for the building there.

For the number IIII, why it isn't written IV?
The guide told me at that time there were 4 (four) people who died from above of the Watch (when it was built), so to respect the people who died it is written IIII not IV. I think you need to ask another person about it.
What do you think about this "Jam Gadang? "

I Mourn for "Supersic"

The death of Marco Simoncelli has become the News Maker. For me it becomes my attention.
It is a little bit different with my feeling when Steve Jobs Died.
Why is it like this?
MotoGP, i don't follow this racing everytime and yet i know some of the racers. And talking about Steve Jobs, i confess, i almost didin't recognize him, it because i haven't his gadget and i am so old fashioned about  technology. But i read his story. We can learn from his toughts to be the best.

Back to Simoncelli.  The news of his death has touched my emotional side. How can?
Yup, it because his death has been seen by all the people all over the world and it is recorded. You can see this  horrific crash everytime or you can search it by internet.

Seeing his video, hm, i could  imagine of i were the racers who  hit him accidentally. It will make you feel so guilty. Because it cause somebody dies. I am sure people will shocked seeing the video.  My friend told me like this " I have estimated he will have short life if i see his racing style, aggresive, but without him the race is not fun ".

I can feel his parent feeling. As they were there seeing the race. His father, his Mother and his girlfriend. Losing a pride son is so hurt. He was so young.

The crash taken from dailymail.co.uk

Marco's Mother taken from dailymail.co.uk
Simoncelli's girlfriend taken from dailymail.co.uk

Early Simoncelli, before he had afro-style curly hair taken from dailymail.co.uk

 
Oh yeah the first time i heard the news of his death from the FB, my friend wrote on her status "RIP for Simoncelli" then i became aware why on twitter my another friend said the race has been canceled.
Then, i read the article about his death.

Furthermore,  it becomes the news maker, because his achievements and he was Valentino Rossi's Friend. Yup, he has so many good achievements, and he could be a better racer in the futurfe. But the fact, he has gone.

According the article that i read. It is said that his helmet was knocked off from his head. It makes him injured severely. Why it can be like that?
My experience wearing the helmet is depend on the helmet itself and the hair.
When i use the helmet without my hair tied, it feels very uncomportable. Everytime my head is shaked, the helmet almost comes off. But Once, i tied my hair and use the helmet, i feel it strongly sticks on my head. When i saw Simoncelli, we can see his hair is disheveled. It means the helmet comes off because of his hair... but i don't know about it for sure, because it can be caused by the strong crash and others...

To lose the loved one, is so hard especially when he gone too soon and he wasn't suffering from the disease at all before. It will be different, if the loved one dies because of the disease, we will get ready to accept this.

"To die it needs only second, but to rise a man it needs more time"  .....
 
So, for the motorcyclists don't forget to use the Helmet for your safety... i believe it can avoid you from the fatal accident. And my deep condolence for his family and team. RIP Marco ....

NB: People born with his personality and enjoy it... and that's him ...
