What's your call?

In a book titled 'Chickenhawk', there's a story about a little test that the US Army gave to every applicants. The test was about a situation where the applicants was supposed to be driving a truck, fully loaded with his fellow soldier, going down a steep hill. The road was bad and there was cliffs on both side. And then there was this little kid standing right in the center of the road. There was suppose to be no way the driver could avoid the kid. The applicants must then choose a course of action. Drive on and kill the kid, or veer of the road and plunge himself and his fellow soldier to a certain death.
The answer expected by the enlistment officer was that the applicant would drive on and kill the kid, and that's what most, if not all, of them answered. If only it were that simple.
But hei..., wait a minute...! Live is full of simple choices.
You either take the job or not. You either proposed her or not. Are in or are you out. This or that, now or later, here or there.
Yes sir, life is full of simple chioces. If only it were easy as well. Cause the choices we make will lead to consequences, some of it are dire, either to ourself or to others. And unlike those soldier wan-na-be, our consequences are real. I don't know about you, some of those consequences are too heavy to live with.
Oh well...
Those who have seen the final Star Wars movie would probably understand more wahat i'm babling about here. For those of you who haven't, well....
Let's just say that becareful of the choices you make. The consequences may not always visible at firts and that there's always a choice. That's what life is about, making choices, often simple but hardly ever easy.

Eling, 'le, eling....

That was my grandpa reply whenever i, being just a little boy of 6, started being ridicolous. I never fully understand what it's meaning. What was it am I supposed to remember anyway? At least not until i grow up and started reading Khalil Gibran and Anthony De Mello books.
But fisrt let me enlighten you of the meaning of the word 'eling'. 'Eling' is a Javanesse word meaning 'to remember'. But that's just about all of the explanation i got, dictionary wise.
'Cause for me, 'eling' has become more than just a mere word. it has become somewhat a philosofy, a way of live. At least i tried to live by it.
'Eling' is more of a spiritual awareness, a state of being of constant vigil. Totaly in tune with the universe. Always in touch with reality. Well that's the utopia state, attainable only by monks, hermits and Bhuddas. Not me
As for me, it's a reminder of who i'm, where i'm, why i'm here, what i'm want, and where i'm going. And that's more than alot to handle. Cause every now and then we'd lose track of some of it.
Oh well, that enough talk.
Eling, Nick. Kowe sih akeh gawe'an (Remember Nick, you still got a lot of work to do)

Where is your sandal?

One rainny day, a young monk who has been in the monastery for 15 years
Came to his abbot seeking permission to leave the monastery.
As he got to the abbot's cottage, he took of his sandals, and folded his umbrella
and placed it by the door.
The abbot greeted him by asking "Where did you leave your sandal?" "By the door." answered the young monk. "Which side?" the abbot asked again.
The young monk was buffled. Then the abbot asked again, "and you umbrella, was it on the left or the right of your sandals?"
At that moment, the young monk decided that he should stay in the monastery until he can achieve such a high level of conciusness

Rama dan Aphrodyte

He: Tak usah ditunggu
Bulan kan datang
Tak perlu kau nanti
Malamkan menjelang

She: Certainty is so boring

He: Seperti Cinta kan tumbuh
Tanpa air, tanpa tanah
Karena air dan tanah
adalah Cinta

She: How can you be so sure?
Love is full of uncertainty...

He: Air dan tanah
telah ada sejak lama
Begitu pula Cinta
bersama bulan dan malam
kekal adanya

She: Love grows like a rose
It will soon blossom
and in a blink of an eye
Whiter and die

He: Tak perlu kau kejar
Jangan kau nanti
Bila Tuhan mengijinkan
Cinta kita kan berpadu
Laksana bumi dan langit
Bulan dan malam
Tanah dan air....

She: Love needs effort
Love craves for sacrifices
You can never find Love if you don't do anything
You have to...

He: I Love you...

She: Aku...
Cinta kamu...

Somebody hand me a gun. I'll shoot myself!

Those of you who have YM and list me as friend, would probably have seen the title several times before...
I'm sorry, but I can't help myself. Right now I'm under a hell of preasure, and the line above is the best way to boil it (the preasure, my attitude, and the people around me) down. They keep shoving in projects after projects mindless of the job traffic. The way I see it, they want me to do a job tailorred for someone with 5 years of experience, before I past my one year mark.
Nobody ever said that working, being employed, will be a strool in the park. And I'm not expecting it to be either. But I do admit that I expect a certain degree of sanity to prevail. But instead, I was deprived of even the most basic common sense.
And what's with the bickering and calling names and the tensions between my co-workers. Hardly anybody got something nice to say about the other guy or the management.
To top it off, I'm UNDERPAID. Though it is basically my own fault.
oh well...
maybe next time I'll put something more meaning full in here...
maybe...
