MY WAY

Frank Sinatra My Way lyrics:
"And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!"

Berpisah tanpa haru....

sudah beberapa kali aku pindah tempat kerja, melulu karena pekerjaan proyek sudah selesai tuntas....
demikian pula kali ini, segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan tugasku di proyek Grand Indonesia sudah praktis selesai.
2 tahun lebih sejak aku datang ke proyek ini, sangat antusias ingin bergabung...maklum proyek prestige di jantung ibukota Jakarta. Dengan arsitektur masa kini, tak pelak lagi...aku tinggalkan Bias Tekno ...
Kali ini ... Kapal besar ini sudah bersandar dengan tegar....dengan 2 menara menjulang...menara bca dan menara apartemen...( aku sulit menyebut Kempinski Residence, karena suatu saat bisa saja namanya berubah).
Sudah saatnya aku undur diri.....seperti pemahat...yang sudah selesai...waktunya untuk berbenah....dan menikmati pahatan dari sisi luar....
biar lah tugas memelihara pahatan itu dikerjakan oleh orang lain....

Rasa haru sama sekali tidak bersuara di lubuk hati....entah kenapa....( tidak seperti waktu waktu yang lalu...saat aku meninggalkan tempat kerjaku yang dulu )...
Sepertinya Grand Indonesia ini sebuah keluarga besar...yang masing masing anggota keluarganya bermain sendiri sendiri.....dan kalau aku pergi ... tidaklah berarti...lenyap begitu saja.....
Syukurlah kalau memang semua nya berjalan lancar....di kemudian hari....

Teman teman kerja ku yang selalu meminta pendapatku...mungkin tidak lagi akan bertanya kepadaku....maka sepi akan mengelilingi hari hari ku di awal tugasku yang baru....
no problem...aku sudah sering berhadapan dengan situasi ini....toh akhirnya akan cair kembali.

Rasa terima kasih buat rekan rekan di Grand Indonesia...sampai jumpa...tak ada gading yang tak retak....maafkan kalau aku melakukan kekeliruan di mata anda sekalian...tidak ada unsur kesengajaan pastinya....

GRAND OPENING OF MY GRAND INDONESIA

Dear God,

thanks for everything you gave to my Grand Indonesia

although alot of problems come out during its development

finally it can generally finish

DR.LIVIANTI

Usaha meluruskan jariku sudah mentok...dari dokter syaraf dr.Santoso, sinshe Iwan, pak Haji Cimande, Hari Temanggung, hm....masih ada satu yang harus aku samperin.
Berbekal nomor telpon yang dikasi oleh kakak iparku, aku mulai coba cek keberadaan dr.Livianti di Kelapa Gading. Ternyata masih ada....

Sore itu ... tekat bulat... aku berangkat ke Kelapa Gading...dengan mudah aku temukan tempat praktek dr.Livianti yang lulusan dokter specialist Acupunture dari China ini.
Jam menunjukkan pukul 4 sore, ruang praktek masih kosong...tidak ada pasien..
Tidak lama menunggu...dr.Livianti keluar, dan aku memperkenalkan diri dan masalah jariku.
Setelah dilihat sebentar, dia langsung putuskan untuk di treatment.
Pertama dilakukan pembiusan dulu di seputar jari yang melengkung kaku ini. Lalu dengan tusukan jarum jarum panjang...di seputar jari tengah tangan kiriku ini...dan dilakukan penggetaran dengan peralatan kabel-kabel.
Selesai dalam waktu setengah jam....terasa jari sudah lurus dan tidak ada rasa sakit bila ditekuk.

Aku merasakan ... pengobatan ini berhasil ... dan benar... sepulang dari sana jari ini sudah terlihat normal...walaupun ada sedikit tegang di sendi..
Bravo dr.Livianti....thanks alot...thanks God...sudah membawaku ke dokter ini.

FRIENDS

Friends...are people around us. Family is our closest friend. Brothers .. sisters ... we can reflect and talk to them. Friends at work .. can be a sparing partner... without them .. we cannot do what we have targeted.

Being a good player is when we are not played around inside the game. We can play with our friends, in the rule of play. Once you exceeding the rule, you will punished.

TOUR DE BENGKULU

Saturday 2 May 2009,

Without any preparation, i and my wife, my sister inlaw and her husband flied to Bengkulu.

"Lion Air" bring us with Boeing 737 big bird i think...pilot Sulaeman landed it smoothly and just perfect at Fatmawati Soekarno small airport. Time said 10.30 am

Romo Dwijo Soekarno with his full of smile, has wait us in the arrival door. He is not changed, still charming as before ( we meet him every week at St.Stephanus - Cilandak, Jakarta ). Almost five years, he moved to Bengkulu.

Bengkulu for me is unique. Small beach bay city, along West side of Sumatra. Above the Province of Lampung. Pantai Panjang beach really give us a natural sceen with pine tree along the bay...hmm...nice breeth...

With his "Jakarta Kijang" Romo bring us to the villages and some heritage places. The history told that Bengkulu was colonied by England, and because of war Bengkulu has to be bartered with Singapore. So .. England move to Singapore, and give Bengkulu to Indonesia...( imagine if Bengkulu still under England...it will become a fantastic city...just like Singapore).

The city is quite, no traffic jamb, trees look fresh....people are moving...means economic growing...crued palm forestry is everywhere...

We finally arrived at St.Yohanes Church where Romo Dwijo stay and lead the Church. He built this new church, a huge building for the scale of the city. Uniqely, he made a statue of Yohanes .. very impresive.... the artist made it from cement and carved with spoon...

We visit Romo actually to do a design for Chapel at Mukomuko... 6 hours from Bengkulu city.

And Romo also has a plan to extend the Pastoran. Fantasticly...the Pastoran has a beach view...

We go out for lunch, and drived around the city. And Romo dropped us to the Grage Horison Hotel, the finest hotel in the city. Then we take a rest. Romo has to prepare a mass at 5.00 pm

See you tomorrow....

5.30 pm the sun set looks beautiful, we went there, and take a pictures from the beach.

Dinner with seafood at "Laurent" Toro the driver suggestion, first impression .. so quite...but then become crowded.

Back to the hotel...and...good night.

Sunday 3 May 2009,

Mass at St.Yohanes church...at 7.30 am..Romo Yudha lead the mass. Some sisters from the congregation of Carolus Borromeus were there. Finish with mass, we went to the heritage places, like Fatmawati House, Soekarno House, Fort Marborough, Tapak Paderi, and others.

Can't wait for lunch, we found Padang Sederhana Bintaro....hm...weird...

We went to Lake "Dendam tak sudah" means unfinish revenge....Romo Dwijo brought us there.

We enjoy the lake with drink coconut water. Romo really enjoy travelling actually, he told us that he drive himself accross the way to Lampung.

4.30 pm we have to reach the airport, after we went to Bengkulu Expo. We reach airport at 4.30 pm...but surprise surprise...the airport still closed...wait until 5.00 pm.

Flied at 6.00 and arrived at Cengkareng 7.00...back home...

Thanks alot...Romo Dwijo....we'll meet again...later.
