"What would you do if you knew your life be taken soon?" a spider hanging on its web around the corner from a cell asked. "Do you agree with the rule saying if you've taken someone else's life, to get even, yours should be taken too?

"Here, in this country as in some other parts of the world, your life is highly respected, even though you murder a person. No matter how upset the family of the victim is, you'll be only put into prison.



"Only if you plan a scheme or kill more and more people, you can hardly get away from the fire squad!"

The one being asked, didn't respond. it moaned instead, "Oh, let me sing a song about me, about my world which is blue. Blue is my world without soul. Cold is my heart since I did all those mistakes.

"Love me tender, even though I am a murderer. All my dreams have not been fulfilled yet. Happiness wont' follow me if I'm still alive.

"And now the end is near. Only a few days to go morning will not break like the first morning."

The spider, wondered, asked again, "Mr. Shadow, is that you representing his melodious emotion?"

Nobody could hear it. Everything was dark. And a man inside there was regretfully expecting a miracle.

Do you want to see the picture of contradiction? Pay a visit to Jakarta, Indonesia. Stay in a hotel which you think it is free from blowing up efforts. Can you find one? Of course you can, and the safe place is available everywhere as long as you believe it is. And soon, when you feel like home, you'll see that everyday is party in Indonesia!

Every foreigner accustomed to Indonesian culture may assume that it’s gone too far with the travel warning soaring to the globe by the international community. A few of them interviewed by a local TV after the July 17 Jakarta’s bomb blast, in fact, said, they would not leave the country which they have been getting along well.


One of the programs likely suitable for lazy gadabout, housewives or dropout school children

Yes, everything about the picture of contradiction regarding with the real condition of the country is here if you care to discover. While the country hasn't successfully set itself free from crises; poverty here and there and unemployment is annoying, some excessive lifestyle propagandized by the media pay a visit to everybody's home.

Nothing seems to stop Indonesia from the progressive change of culture. Not even a Tsunami or a series of shocking bomb blasts. As everyday is party at home--yes nearly 24 hours of TV program competition; from a series of live show of music programs in the morning to the other kinds of live shows at prime time. No wonder, TV shows turn to be a mock to the conservative.

It is common to find dropout school children or some lazy gadabouts, as soon as they wake up, will be spending most of their time talking on the mobile phone and get themselves entertained by their parent's TV without a fear of becoming broke --home sweet home. Thanks to the the promising trick and opportunity the phone cellular providers give to this country.

Is it too naive to say that Indonesians never realize that actually they are prone to be blowing ourselves up by doing such a thing? Partying is everybody's right, what's a big deal?

Big as it is as the predominant Muslim country, such a phenomenon is quite ironic. What an impact! The ulemas and clerics, what can they do unless deliver a speech. Yes, while they keep talking about moral, those listening to them, keep thinking that the sermon is merely a part of show.


Here's the moving picture of what is supposed to be the suspect of the uncivilized terrorist before the incident happened.

Police said on Friday a car bomb went off at a toll road in north Jakarta, following two bomb blasts earlier in the day at JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta's business district.

Jonathan Manthorpe, Vancouver Sun reporting Nine people were killed and over 50 injured today when suicide bombers attacked two luxury hotels in the central business district of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

Police say they found the bodies of two suicide bombers after the explosions at the J.W. Marriott and the Ritz-Carleton hotels. Both hotels are frequented by foreigners who appear to have been the targets of the attacks.

The first bomb was detonated in the lobby lounge of the Marriott at 7.47 a.m. Near a meeting of foreign business people. Five people were killed.

The second bomb went off 10 minutes later in a second floor restaurant at the Ritz-Carleton killing two people. Another person later died in hospital.

As an Indonesian, I can only hope such a nightmare will never happen again in this country.

Some people looking for funny pictures on the Internet don’t feel amused as they find ones. Others who aren’t, oftentimes, only come across, get distracted and entertained.

Funny pictures are not tickling in the eye of the blind. To them the pictures are not telling something which meets with their interests. You know, the blind here are not those who have poor eyesight, but those who don’t know how to understand or enjoy whether a picture is funny or not. However, a kind of blindness is too subjective to stress up.

The blind can be you and I including those who happen to have imaginative talent. Nothing can satisfy all.

What makes funny pictures look dull not merely due to the tendency of the illustrator to imitate an image so there’s no sense of originality shown, but it exactly comes from the sense and the mood of viewers themselves. There’s no wit apparently to get along with.

Funny pictures should be appearing as appealing as public figures as to how to make viewers easily distracted visually. The one to create them, should be able to tickle everybody’s fancy. He doesn’t have to be prophetic who can visualize the society in the next few decades.

Just like this one. He doesn't think it is funny that you see him make fun of you

Finding funny pictures are easy on the Internet. Funny pictures are fantasies which are more exciting in life and free to enjoy. There’s a lot of creativity displayed on blogs and sites using funny pictures to make people read the contents.

Again, it is a different question as to know whether viewers amused nor not.
