Now I categorized Nagabonar Jadi 2 is one of the best Indonesian movie ever made. And I do agree with Mr. Nagabonar that General Sudirman really should put his arm down.

We are sometimes forgot our own roots. The more sosialized we are, the more skeptical we’ve become. The scene where Mr. Nagabonar honors General Sudirman was a moment of silence for me. It’s weird but I kinda enjoy the feeling. It’s been like 10 years since I do my last Monday Ceremony.

I never shed any tears while watching Indonesian movies, well except for GIE but Nagabonar simply make it like a de ja vu.

Despite all the heroik story and sense of nasionalism, one thing that really tickles me was the romance between Bonaga and Monita. Shits do happen, even to a person that graduated from Master degree in England and still don’t have the nerve to say I Love You.

Why is it so fuc*n hard to say I LOVE U and stupidly choose to be forever silence. At first I thought it must be the ego, but after seing the movie unfortunately the N factor does counts. For you nuckle heads outhere who haven’t watched the movie, it stands for NERVE and NERVOUS.

Though attention was the best way to show some love but still wasn’t enough. Some say that we, grown-ups don’t have to be acted like teenagers who experience their first love by saying who loved who and who really loved who and.. bla.. bla..!

Feeling was nowhere to be seen, unless by act. But now days, when you are living in this cookie crazy world you really need clarity in something, otherwise you will end up in vain. Ok, chill.. I know perhaps many of you don’t agree with what I’ve said. But deep down I know you feelin’ me girl..!!

It hurts a lot when you thought that he was the one and then you make him your special one, but by the end of the day you found out that you are not his special one. It sucks!

Well, whose fault is that? No one! Because he simply doesn’t know your feeling and the worst part is again you assumed that he had already known. Confusing as it was!

We are all trapped in this so called situation of guessing, assuming and yet none of them becoming something. You can call me numb or whatever but allow me to quote some lyric for all of you, let this song brightened up your day;

cinta bukan hanya sekedar kata

cinta bukan hanya pertautan hati

cinta bukan hasrat luapan jiwa

cinta tak hanya DIAM!!

-Ost. Nagabonar jadi 2 (Padi: Tak hanya)-

The thing is that people now days began to do all the communication in telepathycally. And I thought that human was the most intelegent creature in this whole universe. The awakening of the apes.

Well this is what my Sloppy Thoughts think: To love someone is like giving a package of feeling. It comes with the heart, cover with the action and combine it with the word.

We can’t pretend that we understand or we know, because I don’t understand and I really don’t know!!

Did you know that the Japanese rider ‘Norifumi’ Abe inspired Valentino Rossi to the nickname Rossifumi?

The nickname Valentinik is based on a Donald Duck story, where Donald became a superhero and was called papperinik. Valentinik is short for SUPER VALE..

As you probably have heard Valentinik had to go and save the world, so Valentino Rossi has chosen another nickname… Now he’s: THE DOCTOR!

Valentino lives in London (Knightsbridge) where he has an apartment. Part of the year he will spent his time in Tavullia and Ibiza.

The people in Tavullia are so happy with Valentino that they decorated his hometown. Many buildings have murals in his honor. Also his fanclub, that his childhood friends are running, is based here.

The number 46 is special for Vale. This was the number that his father - Graziano Rossi - had when he was a GP winner.
 
There are plenty of Valentino Rossi websites on the internet, but there is only one official site. It is the site of his official fanclub. The address: www.fanclubvalentinorossi.com All the other sites are unofficial, or unauthorized. Same thing with the mailing groups or clubs online. There is no official group or club except for the Official Fanclub in Tavullia.

"I’m Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon. "

"I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing."

"For me the tracks are not as important as the psychology"

"When I made the decision to move to Yamaha many people thought it was a stupid thing to do, even my father and Jeremy Burgess. But I was already committed and have never looked back since."

"I don’t like Formula 1 very much. If you take away Schumacher, then maybe Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Pablo Montoya, they’re all the same. The cars have so much technology the drivers don’t have to do anything. Even if I win many races , I still have to fight and we have overtaking and excitment"

"I said to Max: ‘What are you doing idiot?’ And then there was some pushing and shoving. Then a security guard grabbed me and someone took Max"

"I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don’t give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don’t know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components"

" All Honda are bastards "

"For sure there are good points, but there are very much worse points. When you go to dance in a nightclub, when you go with your friends to have a snack at McDonalds, people want to speak to you, take pictures. At first, I was very much friendly - too much. No I have learned to be a shit. To say no!"

"When I looked at my best lap time I thought it was like a symphony of violins - perfect, so I decided that if I won I would do this celebration across the finish line!"

"It’s nice to have on or two girls chasing you, but when there’s one thousand, it’s not good!"

"125 racing was more like a game. 250 started to become serious and this is more serious, because this bike is dangerous…it’s necessary every time to be quiet and respectful with the bike. Very respectful."

(About his turtle tattoo) "Because I like the animal a lot. I had it as a mascot from when I was very young."

"The Doc Rossi is born a night together with Drudi (designer author of the Rossi helmets), because in Italy there are thousands of Dr. Rossi. He is a crazy scientist that take the place of Valentinik that has worldwide troubles. He (Valentinik) is always busy op peace-keeping in the Universe he has a lot to do and he cannot come to the races no more…"

"Fear? Every time I crash. Very much. When crashing, every time - it’s not a good sensation. Every time, the track is more hard. It hurts more."

"I had to become a motorcross rider at 220km/h and I can guarantee you that’s not a nice experience on a 500. Then I went passed him and gave him a little wave - I was just nervous, it’s the race you know?"

"I never liked him. Even as a kid seeing him on television, he never appealed to me. A good rider but not a good guy. We never talk and I don’t understand why he started to put me down in the Italian press. He even said I became famous by speaking ill of him."

"I’ve had enough with this old story rider-bike. Honda is strong in breaking, me too. On breaking I pass them everywhere"

"Passing Biaggi on the last lap was like the best orgasm"

"To be Valentino Rossi - that is, Valentino Rossi the famous personality - means many positive things, many advantages, and also many privileges. But it also means paying a very high price for that same popularity."

"Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside."

"I also own a Yamaha motorbike but always respect the speed limit!"

"I become racing Valentino from Friday morning. I try to stay my normal character - with jokes and laughter if possible - but in a race weekend I work always at 100% and try to use every minute to arrive stronger in the race. But I try not to become too serious."

"Anyone who spies on another is not a son of Mother Mary"

"Before I like Schwantz very much. He’s my favourite rider of all time. Also Doriano Romboni. But mainly Kevin (and) ofcourse Mick. And also Wayne Rainey and Wayne Gardner. The true riders of 500"

Prologue: 2 Oktober 2007 kemaren bos gw (Om Ben) ngajak anak2 (PT. Sedana Pasifik Servistama) buat buka puasa bareng di Gang Gang Sulai - its a Korean Cuisine

At Gang Gang Sulai

Tepat jam 5.30 kita sampai di venue, Jl. Cideng No. 60 anehnya tuh restoran belum buka. Gw terpaksa harus telpon untuk minta dibukain.. secara ya bo, gw bawa "babeh" gw, masa suruh nongkrong didepan.

Alasan mereka restoran opens at 6.00pm, lha jelas2 acaranya buka puasa bersama, kesianan dunks temen2 gw yang menjalankan puasa nunggu didepan resto kaya ga ada kerjaan, lagian another Gang Gang Sulai yang ada di automall SCBD dah starts open at 5.00pm kok.

Setelah gw telpon lagi tuh resto, finally dibukakan juga tuh pintu. Guess what, yang anehnya lagi nama gw TIDAK TEDAFTAR!! Table yang gw pesen buat 25 orang tidak ada didalam list hari itu. Padahal gw dah konfirm ulang 3 jam sebelumnya, dan mereka bilang sudah OKE!

Gw berusaha menenangkan pikiran gw, gw cuma bilang saya sudah fix-order dengan ibu Widi. See, it works.. secara tiba2 tuh table tersedia, meskipun tidak ter listed hahaha.. kekuatan pikiran!

Bisa dibilang penyajiannya LAMBAT, heran.. mana kalo mau minta sesuatu harus pake urat lagi.. ga banget dah nih resto. Padahal yang di automall oke banget loe pelayanannya. Trus dah gitu ada yang unbelievable, ada satu pelayan yang JUDESnya amit2.

Yang bener2 gw masukin di hati adalah ketika dia membating 1 pitcher es teh tawar di depan temen gw..anjrit.. gw sempet nyolot cuma si orang sinting itu keburu ngeloyor tanpa dosa, aneh..!

Setelah semua beres, akhirnya bos gw (om Franz) take actions dengan melayangkan komplen atas ketidakramahan dari para pelayan and not mentioning tingkah si pelayan sinting yang udah DARE ENOUGH untuk membanting tuh pitcher.. Bos gw dengan santai mengakhiri pembicaraan dengan kata-kata "yang pastinya saya tidak akan mereferensikan restoran ini kepada teman kantor saya bahkan partner bisnis saya.

At Angkutan Kota (Angkot)

pengemudi angkot yang gw tumpangin termasuk pengemudi yang santai, ga grasa grusu. Cuma tiba-tiba aja tuh mobil ditabrak kenceng banget sama sepeda motor sementara tuh mobil lagi Silent MODE:ON alias diam alias lagi berenti. Aneh ga sih.. eh si motor cuman cengar-cengir and kabur..halaaaah apa seeh..

At the Bus

turun dari angkot gw nerusin untuk nyari bus arah bekasi, kok tumben lama dan anehnya ga biasanya begini. setelah 1/2jam nunggu tuh bus dateng, yes just what i’ve thought "PENUH".. dan gw harus berdiri (again). Disamping gw ada cowok, tampangnya serius banget, lengkap dengan kaca mata dia betul-betul tipikal muka anak2 yang senang dengan ilmu pengetahuan (cie bahasa gw). Tapi di setiap orang dewasa pasti ada sisi kanak2 nya, yupz dan itu dibuktikan dengan bernaungnya jam tangan warna biru bergambar SNOOPY di tangan tuh cowok!
