Busway on the streets of Pondok Indah?





Imagine an elite real estate become a jammed road filled with cars stuck in place while the road is being eaten away by Busway? No way! So, we are against the plan of Busway expansion to real estates and residence areas. The reasons?
1. They will have to chop down trees more than 10-20 years old to create way for Busway
2. The presence of Busway will take away the source of income for feeder buses, that were using the same track
3. Busway will create more traffic jam
4. Busway will ruin the road, as been shown on Sudirman road
5. know more? list it here...

Letting Go

So today I've let go. I think the plagiarism case has reached a point where I am too tired even to talk about it. I realized the injustice that I experienced, but I am trying to let go. And I think I have, today. Because I'm sick and tired hearing people telling me how I looked gloomy and less cheerful and I hate seeing people guessing if I have a problem.
So here it is: I have no problem anymore. Hakuna Matata. No worries. Because I realized the power within me and the potential to grow. The hell with those people who stole from me...they shall never be happy because they fill their lives with envy and jealousy and schemes to trap other people. I also learned that injustice have a place here in Indonesia without having anyone to prevent it. But from now on I shall depend on Lord, the Kind Father who will save me from the dreadful plots of my enemies (now that sounds a bit scary, huh?)

And one thing I will remember:
"The vengeance is mine, I will repay" (says the Lord Himself)

So I will let go. And be light. And be happy. :-)

Journey towards adulthood

So something big happened in the past week. I found out that my colleagues at school stole my idea and used it in their own marketing plan. It is definitely plagiarism, but yet there is still a possibility that they will be able to get away with it.
So I found that life is hard. But actually I am grateful for this experience. I found out many enriching lessons that I will not forget for the rest of my life:
1. I thank God for He never let me feel envious to anyone so badly. And I hope I'll never will.
2. I am happy because in the last trimester of my graduate study, I found out that strategy is important and that the options are not only between being cheated or to cheat. But we can escape from being cheated by being smart.
3. I am glad for I have proven to myself that I have ideas worthy enough to be stolen from me.
4. I am proud for I have been educated (by my parents) so well that I can differ right from wrong.
5. I learn that I can be angry but I can control it and I can be strict and assertive.
6. Never let anyone and anything make you feel less confident about yourself.

The bottom line is, I believe God always bless us and reserve a place for us by His side if we can stick to His way.
(This is a rare post, for I seldom be so religious)
