I visited Angkor Wat, Siem Reap of Cambodia last week with three of my friends – Mbak Roh, Mbak Endang and Agnes. We did quasi backpacking – why quasi? Well, we decided to travel light – they flew AirAsia which tickets were purchased one year ago – but pack things in pretty luggage.
We stayed in a cheap inn of USD35.5 per night instead of fancy Park Hyatt or Le Meridien and took tuk-tuk everyday instead of rented car. It was a cool journey!
Some pictures captured show the joy! Enjoy!
Singapore – August 28, 2016 – morning….
I live forever,
When it I who lives forever.
But I might only live for 70 years,
When it is I who lives for 70 years.
I decide to live forever,
I who is riding planes – many different planes
Travelling through time and space.
Give me life
One at a time.
Then live forever I do.
But this plane will not make me forever for you.
This plane decays by time – this time.
This plane deteriorates by weather – this space.
I won’t live forever in this plane.
Then yes I won’t live forever.
Thanks for being with me when I’m in this plane.
And see you again with me on another space and time because we live forever.
Just know me then you know when we meet again.
I’m happy forever in joy.

Fish in frozen pond
It is swimming to the sun.
Hopes for hotter air —
Fish, water and sun —
Forming a natural cycle —
Win life together.
Fish, can you feel me
Stir the water to get you
Out of frozen pond.
Fish stare at my eyes.
They beg me to stop and go,
To find other funs.
Fish….
Me….
Life….
Like
Fish….
Water….
Sun….
Can I play with this life the I want?
I know I can.
But like a fish that can’t live in frozen pond – waiting for
The sun to melt it down.
I am a fish in a life full of water under the sun.

Pronouncing good word,
Parrot is nodding its head.
When word is just word.
What does a word mean when it is uttered by a bird, it only repeating what it has heard from environment without knowing what it means. It means…. Meaning is not everything but it is more essential than just the pronounced lining letters.
Life, teach me about what essential when I pronounce a good word as I am not a parrot or any other copiers.

Years ago I read one article about Masaru Emoto, the professor who confirmed with his thousands of experiments that good intention brings good energy to water. I read the article long before Prof. Emoto’s work was translated to Bahasa Indonesia. I remeber very well when I shared about “happy water crystals”, my friends laughed at and left me. I don’t blame them – I talk too much rubbish, crazy things and unbelievable ideas…. I’ve been rubbish to some people. I don’t care lah….
Oh, I don’t want to talk about myself. I want to talk about water and its crystal.
When going around in KLIA, I decided to purchase a chain and a pendant but like usual when buying something it is my heart buying. I won’t take a thing if my heart does not say so. I didn’t have any idea why that pendant was chosen and not the lapis lazuli Turkey eye with a bright diamond which looks very pretty and shiny – you know how strong a Turkey eye is… Instead sapphire was chosen, a simple one with the same price!
Getting home, I checked the pendant again. What actually its shape is like. Then I realized that it is a seven-hexagon. Oh my…. It might be a message.
This is the sapphire pendant I bought from Habib.
And after some time the message was deciphered.
Picture borrowed from http://hado.com/ihm/product/water-crystal-goods/
Seven-hexagon is the shape of water crystal. And why I took sapphire insteadl of lapis lazuli, because sapphire is my birthstone. The Universe emphasizes it to me that I’m born as a sapphire and to be close to water.
I believe water has healing power. But I also believe that only water from a good source is good, water from bad sources or bad because of negative energy should be cleaned and cleansed before use. Using Prof. Emoto’s words, good water has beautiful shape of crystal and we can perfect or repair the shape of water crystal by sending positive energy to the water we’re using. We can send prayers, send positive thought, concentrate positive statement and words to the water. We can do it alone or together. If you are interested in knowing more about him and his project, please Google his name. 🙂
Just to share with you, when I am sick, I would chant some prayers in front of a glass of water, blow the water after praying then drink the water. And mostly I’m cured with that. That is what I always recommend to my friends who ask me what to do when their animals or they themselves are sick.
More than that, I believe that this seven-hexagon sapphire pendant is for me to heal myself and heal the world.
It is a sign. Yes, it is.
Thank you Universe for bringing the message from the Source. I’m hearing, listening and taking actions.
Salaam….

40 days ago our dear cat lady, Greek went across the bridge and today we are remembering her being part of us.
She was such a beauty, dignity yet rebel and free soul. Oh yeah, free soul she was! She would hunt anytime she wanted and brought the hunted to us as gifts: grasshopper, flies, dragonflies, lizard, birds name it she would be proud of her hunting skill.
Once we had a guest with one teenager who was trying to protect the hunted bird – the bird was still alive, very weak and desperate – our guest freed the bird and Greek was in rage! She didn’t attack but she wouldn’t stop wandering around the house shouting until my Mother took the tiny cat to her hugs. She was calming in my mother’s hands.
Greek was such a love to all of us. Everybody poured her with abundant love and care. My Brother would always ask “Where is Greek?” everytime he visited my mom. My nephews and nieces would have the same question.
But Greek wouldn’t love children. She was scared of those rascals’ shouting and cheering and jumping and being too excited. Then she would stay away the whole day giving up the food. She would be back when all those kids were gone. My mom would be worried….
Greek was an alarm clock for my Mother. She would wake her up especially for night prayer. She would kiss my Mother to wake her up. Failed with kisses, she would scratch my mother’s body. Failed with the scratches, she would step on my mother’s head with her soft meows. My mother would prepare food and pray accompanied by the tiny alarm clock.
Greek was also great sleeper. She would sleep when the rest of us worked!
And a great eater…. Pick great eater! She didn’t take not fresh food. All of her food must be fresh from the storage. She would not eat her own leftover. All must be new! And new it was for our beloved princess Greek.
Greek, too many things we save in our memory about her.
You are loved. You are remembered.
We know you leave us as you wished. You made the decision and we just felt the broken heart to say goodbye.
Greek, your graveyard is just some steps from our backdoor. We can visit you whenever we want. We first got so sad but you always came once in while making sure that we are ok and we now realize that you were leaving clean and happy.
Please send our loving regards to Bob, Grace, Greece, Greg, and all other beloved animals you meet and greet there across the rainbow bridge.
Please cut your worry. We are praying for your good. Please pray for us, too.
Now your friends are sitting in our porch Everyday but they don’t want to stay home like you. They come to have meal and sleep somewhere we don’t know. Please make sure they are fine, our angel…..
Greek, this is your 40th days leaving us. You will be our guiding light, won’t you?
Till we meet again, my dear. Love you soooooooo much!!! Warm regards from me, Ibu, Mbak Andri, Mbak Yuda, Mas Yogi and all…. The rainbow slides are ready….! Woohooo!

Last weekend I went to Jakarta to meet our beloved fellow creature named Moppy. He is a dog to whom my love will always flow even later when he is gone. He’s survived a cancer — not surviving by curing but let me tell you that he is still alive although with a very painful wound in one part of his plane. He is though strong enough to survive for more than one year after he was rescued.
And, I always miss him wherever I am….
Last Saturday night we visited him.
He was sleeping very soundly. Oh, my Moppy boy. You are still there!
I know you bear the pain because you love your very mother, the sweet lady who is always there for you.
Moppy is ok, not really ok but he is struggling. And no plan to put him to sleep…. He might have been put to sleep if he is not living where he is living now. Moppy is just stubborn to live his cancer…. 🙂
Moppy is still happy. Eating very well. Wagging his tail when meeting human surrounding him.
Moppy, I love you!!!
And when he saw me…. He looked happy…. Nothing I can say but “Hey dude, how are you?”
And, he said “I am ok, you see I survive longer than you predicted. Gotcha!”
I wanted to sing for him but it was late night…. Nobody wanted to hear my tunes. Then I just sang in my heart, looking at his eyes talking to him.
Moppy is now skinnier.
I just pray he is ok.
As ok as he is now when he decides to leave.
Don’t wait.
Please don’t wait.
Let go. Please let go.
We love you wherever you are. You are always loved.
If we don’t meet in my next visit, I’m ok and you should be, too.
Just go…. As you’ll welcome all of us in the next gate.
Moppy, I love you….

Breezy, frozen dawn
Wind’s blowing in through window
A fragrant spirit.
Greek passed away. She was buried in a descent way, wrapped in white fabric, anointed in musk perfume and prayed with sincere love. She might still want to see us at home — that’s when we smelt fragrance of musk in early morning. The place where she is buried is way at our lovely backyard and where we smelt her musk is way at the front part of home.
Greek was visiting. She wanted to let us know that she is fine and will never leave us….
She is playing in a very enlightened garden.
Love for Greek….

Two dogs and a cat
Stroll in joy, breathing sweet air
In a green valley.
How big is my dream of having a green valley? So big…. Why? Because I want as many animals as possible to live happily in the valley, as many farmers as possible to earn good living in the valley, and as long as the earth can sustain the valley stays green…. And, so be it with faith….

Our dear cat, Greek just went across the rainbow yesterday May 10 15:15 Tulungagung time. She’d been sick for the past two weeks — one bump inside her stomoch above hind legs had become bigger and bigger, made her weak and her body coul not hold it anymore….
…. We said goodbye today…. Greek, thank you for having shared your happiness, joy and purity with our family. It is not as long as we expect but it’s been a beautiful connection.
I was not there so much with you as I’m in Singapore and you’re in Indonesia with mom and my sisters…. But truly I love you with all my heart! I just planned to see you next week. To hug you….
Such a beautiful soul you are.
We won’t forget you.
Your playfulness, cuteness, chubbyness, all quality in yours is just bondng us stronger with you.
Now you must be above, looking at us…. Oh looking at me especially…. 🙂
You are saying that you are fine, you are happier and more united with everything. Salaam for you, my dear Greek.
You’re just like air…. I’m breathing you.
You’re just like sunray…. Shining on me….
You’re just like water…. I’m fresh by you.
Now, you are more real.
Ever real. Forever real.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Forgive us for not making you alive for so long, but we’re sure it is also your choice.
I’m sorry….
Thank you, Greek.
Say our warm love and sweet regards to Bob, Greece, Greg and all our family members across the bridge.
See you in a better place and time.
We love you so much.
Soul is soul. We cry over the plane that we can’t touch with our body but the soul is always there, lingering gracefully and we still can feel it with our “other” body.
We lose our beloved parents, children, brothers, sisters or pets that we think leave us forever but truly they are here and still close to us if we realise.
Salaam…. to all Souls who rest for the next cycles, rest in peace…. 🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞🎈🎈🎈

She’s bulging her eyes.
A brown dot in a ground street.
Good God! It’s a dog!
===
A story of me and my fellow creature, a beautiful dog
And I don’t know to whom I am asking these questions…. And, I find myself in the middle of a market…. Everyone is shouting, everyone is selling, everyone is focusing on what words they’re saying.
Eveyone is speaking, but no one is listening, everyone is living alone….
When I saw a dog in a steet, a dusty ground street. I asked him where I ought to go…. And, he just looked at me without a word passing by me away….
Every one is living, every one is breathing, every one is busy with oneself….
Every one is walking, but no one was stopping, just to care what life is in the other’s end….
Then I chased the dog passing by me. I said, “Hello, Dog. Where are you going? Can I go with you until the next cross roads”. He nodded his head and smiled….
Then we went ahead together. No cross road ahead we found and we decided to go ahead together until we really had to quit….
Life is about sharing even with a dog. Thank you, God for sending me a dog that has been so focused on walking down the path of life.

Eating is a must for me, not that routine of having breakfast, lunch and dinner as a package – but can be the combination of breakfast and lunch, brunch and dinner, lunch and dinner or three of them. Sometimes snack is coming in between. Please feel free to criticize my eating pattern…. 🙂
Having eaten for the past 40 years, I almost didn’t remember what’s the real purpose of eating. Oh, is it to be full? Can be. To supply energy to body, yes. Sometimes to compensate one stressful day, ok. I did eat when someone asked me to go out even when I was not hungry – oh, to please somebody…. Too complicated to talk about what eating is for when you actually don’t understand the concept of eating.
As I forgot, I just follow what my tongue wants. Like today, my nostrils captured the fragrance of Indonesian sambal brought by the wind through my window sills. Then I decided to have “Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut” for my dinner. And when my house mate asked if I want her Indonesian fried chicken, my tongue still danced to say yes.
Do I really need the fried chicken after the fried duck? I am actually not hungry. But my tongue, oh my tongue….
My tongue seems to rule my stomach. My stomach does not feel the hunger but my tongue instructs me to eat.
Hold on. Hey, Brain. Brain, please give true signage. Don’t give me false alarm. You want me to be fatter? You want the stomach to get bloated? Stop, stop, stop!
But Brain refused the right thing. Tongue is Brain’s bestfriend this time. And I took my house mate’s offer — a plate of oily delicious Indonesian fried rice.
Fried duck by Pak Ndut
Oh gosh! How could I ignore the real purpose of eating and just care about my tongue fave.
I’m sorry my stomach…. I know now you are too full but I promise this will be the last to take a side of Tongue.
Ummm…. No, no I cancelled my promise. But at least most of my eating will be to supply energy to my body.
Oh, stupid me!!!

Makan itu keharusan, tapi nggak harus rutin serangkaian sarapan, makan siang dan makan malam – bisa saja kombinasi antara sarapan dan makan siang, makan Dhuha dan makan malam, makan siang dan makan malam atau ya ketiga-tiganya. Kadang ada cemilan di sela-selanya. Kalau mau mengkritisi pola makan saya, silakan…. 🙂
Padahal sudah pengalaman makan selama 40 tahun kok ya masih lupa tujuan makan yang sebenarnya. Apa sih tujuan makan? Biar kenyang? Kali…. Untuk mensuplai energi kepada badan, iya lah. Kadang sih juga untuk menghilangkan stres akibat kerjaan. Sempat juga makan saat tidak lapar, hanya karena diajak teman jadi kadang makan untuk menyenangkan orang lain…. haduh, susah banget ngomongin tujuan makan kalau nggak ngerti konsep makan yang sejatinya.
Ya tapi namanya lupa saya suka mengikuti apa kata lidah dalam hal makan. Seperti hari ini, hidung saya menangkap aroma sambal terasi ala kampungku di Indonesia yang terbawa angin lewat daun jendela yang terbuka. Nggak kuku…. Akhirnya saya putuskan makan “Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut” malamnya. Eh, pulangnya orang rumah nawarin ayam goreng kuning ala Indonesia Raya. Ampun mak…. Lidah kok masih bergoyang-goyang kepengen mencicipi.
Apa memang aku perlu ayam goreng ya? Nggak lapar sih. Tapi Lidah ini oh Lidah….
Tampaknya lidahku telah menguasai perutku. Perutku tak merasa lapar tapi Lidah mengharuskanku makan.
Eh, nanti dulu! Otak eh Otak (bukan otak-otak), tolong kasih tanda yang bener dong. Jangan false alarm. Kamu mau aku makin gendut? Kamu au perut jadi kembung?
Tapi Otak menolak melakukan yang seharusnya. Lidah sudah jadi sahabat Otak. Dan akhirnya saya iyakan tawaran sepiring nasi dan ayam goreng yang memang lekker, makin berminyak makin lezat.
semacam inilah ayam goreng yang saya makan
dipinjam dari: http://www.pbase.com/image/60506653
Ya ampun! Kok bisa-bisanya kuabaikan tujuan utama makan dan hanya peduli apa yang lidah sukai.
Maafkan aku, perutku. Aku tahu kamu udah kenyang tapi aku janji ini yang terakhir memihak pada Lidah.
Mmmm…. Nggak juga sih, nggak jadi janji ini yang terakhir deh. Tapi paling tidak sebagian besar makanku akan ditujukan untuk mensuplai energi untuk tubuhku.
Aku emang bodoh!!!

Do you still ask yourselves about what is the biggest lesson in your life? Don’t sweat so much. I dare to confidently tell you to stop and halt a moment.
No need to think of having a past life regression session. No need to consult to a shaman anymore. Just see around.
Who is in your family?
That is the biggest lesson in your current life. Your father, your mother, your sister, your brother, your children, your wife, your husband…. They become yours for a reason.
Think of how well you are as you – a child, a sister, a brother, a mother, a father, etc….
If you still find a gap, then bridge the gap and you are doing your biggest homework of life – family.
Never forget your family, the real closest ones in life. Never ignore them, or else you’ll fail the test of life and MUST retake in the next session. You don’t want to retake the same exam, do you?
See around again…
It is your family the biggest lesson of yours.
Salaam….
==== (versi Bahasa Indonesia)
Apakah kamu masih bertanya-tanya apa sebenernya pelejaran terbesar dalam hidupmu? Jangan terlalu dipikirin. Saya berani memintamu untuk berhenti sejenak.
Usah berpikir bikin janji untuk past life regression. Tak perlu konsultasi sama dukun lagi. Lihat saja sekitar Anda.
Siapa keluargamu?
Itulah pelajaran terbesar dalam hidupmu. Ayahmu, ibumu, saudaramu, anak-anakmu, isitrimu, suamimu…. Mereka menjadi bagian hidupmu bukan tanpa alasan.
Pikirkan sebaik apa Anda menjadi Anda sekarang – sebagai anak, saudara, ibu, bapak, dll….
Jika kamu masih merasa kurang baik, segeralah perbaiki diri dan saat itulah kamu mengerjakan PR kamu dalam hidup – keluarga.
Jangan lupakan keluargamu, orang-orang yang sesungguhnya dekat denganmu dalam hidupmu. Jangan abaikan mereka, atau kamu gagal dalam ujian kehidupan dan HARUS mengulang di sesi selanjutnya. Kamu nggak pengen mengulang ujian yang sama kan?
Lihatlah sekelilingmu lagi…
Keluarga lah pelajaran terbesarmu..
Salaam….

Sometimes love is just a weird feeling that bobs up and down in the consciousness…. Above the surface of emotion, I’ve missed a dog that is lying down under a wooden sofa spending his happy days, thanking Universe for the second chance….
Moppy, do you know that deep down in my heart your name is echoing against any possible walls, unlimited….
You are blessed….
How are you boy? I hope you are in good shape, though I know you are not perfectly shaped.
Do you know I miss you? Yes, I know you know I do….
Please be happy, count your days in joy before you decide to go across the bridge.
When you are ready to go, please whisper to me. Don’t say good bye, just say good start. Touch my heart with your warm love.
Moppy, you’ve been a good dog. Not that good but you don’t make a lot of complaints and you’ve strongly survived. A tough, stubborn dog you are. A real buddy in a low tide. You make us keep going.
Moppy, if we don’t have time to meet before you go — or before I go — please always remember I love you. I know you love me, too….
Moppy, you still refuse to be bathed? Gosh! Such a selfish dog 🙂
But that’s ok as long as you are clean…. You are wiped, right? Don’t say no! 🙂
Moppy, you’ve taught me a lot of things.
To be strong
To forgive
To accept the worst
To let go………………………………………………………………………………………..
To love
Thank you, Moppy….
I can’t stop loving you. Let’s exchange blessings through the wind….
Salaam….
