I got a long distance phonecall from my mum. As usual, obviously, we were gossiping about simple matters, like Bush was targeted as a ‘supernatural forces victim’ by a known paranormal Ki Gendheng Pamungkas. Mum thought that if he did not succeed doing Bush, his name would have been trivialised by the public, because he already made it in public on TV -I didn’t know ‘cuz I don’t have access to Indonesian TV channel- and he also showed the way how he’s going to do it. I wanted to know how the result was (if it’s already done), what’s the change on Bush and so forth. I think that the notion of having an International visitor like Bush is really really rare and you know how popular he is, in all manners, per se. So, for the people who hate him, why don’t they use this quirky opportunity to bash him unsightly? Of course, they can’t be seen and they should have been using other powerful sources to proceed the punishment. Wouldn’t it be fun? I mean, c’mon, Indonesia is known for their hot blooded people to the literally man eater dude until the supernatural weird things. I’m sure that each of the povinces got their own magical err, stuff. I hear that the places such as Sukabumi, Banten, Jawa, Dayak are among the rest.
Other topics, my mum and I talked about were family related. Oya, and a novelist. I finished reading a book by one of my favourite authors NH. Dini, Dari Fontenay ke Magallianes (From Fontenay to Magallianes). I said to her that the book is good, well illustrated and a rather sexy. She wrote her actual sex experiences in her story. Wow. Golly. NH. Dini is not young, you know, maybe she is already on her 70’s and is resides in Semarang, Central Java. The way she tells the story is as if just happened a moment ago. Fresh and you feel like hearing a story from your living room, having afternoon warm cup of tea while watching sunset. Mum said that she is one of Pakde Sukobagyo (my mum’s older brother in law) friends. I would like to pay a visit to NH. Dini’s book reading place. Someday.
Our chatting were final on what is my brother doing now. Mum said he is fine and is still staying in Bandung. I wish him the best. He is the closest sibling I have. I sometime miss doing crazy silly little things with him back home. I remembered when we were younger we tried send a cockcroach off to the sky by a rocket, something like a fire cracker item, but rather than let it had a good launch, the rocket ignited and exploded on the way to the air, burnt that poor little cockroach to pieces. I’m sorry for our brutalistic animal misdemeanor behaviour….. :((
