You know.. considering the Lebaran context of all these traffic rules violaters, each of the culprits violates so many other's rights that none would possibly be totally purified since asking forgiveness to each of the strangers being victimized is simply a too tedious of work. - 0piNion$ | Comment | Permalink | Trackbacks (0)

It has been a while since I was so excited about a book. Yesterday's hunt at PIM's Kinokuniya yielded on an intriguing 1000-page novel that gave me the chills. Never heard about Neal Stephenson before, but I see a lot of potential...
First, in the opening, he quoted Alan Turing. Jumping to the back, there is an appendix explaining the Solitaire encryption algorithm, written by the original author of the algorithm. Managed to churn a few pages of this World War II combined with Internet technology thriller last night and already I am having troubles keeping up with the winding yet cheeky sentences...
This is fun!
PS: just got 6 new kittens in the house. One is very stripy cute.. the others are so plain -.-

Hypocrisy with all its glory is just not that cool and cute anymore when it smacks you right in the face. Really.
I was in a mall for a Ramadhan break fast last night. Along with common peculiarity such as the high number of junior-high schoolers dwelling there, the holy month also offers the anomaly of people queuing for wudhu and shalat. It was only 10 minutes before the Isya' and there are about 10 people in line before me, all waiting patiently except for this woman. A mother, in hijab, bringing along her little daughter, cutting the line right before my turn at the water tap. Of course, being a complete failure of my first year's PDPT program, I let her. Part of it was because of my curiosity of how she would act afterwards. Not only she violated mine and 10 other people's rights, such an example she set for the little princess. If she was such in a hurry to fulfill the Heaven's calling, why didn't she use the bathroom (she only needed to add a bit of maneuver to do the final stage of wudhu there)?
If the one cutting the line was one of the queuing ABGs, I would be more than understanding. After all, they are not an enlightened mother building the morality of the nation.
Another case could be found every day. Most of the subject would be adult male, driving a motorcycle to masjid, with no helmet but with an elaborate set of kopiah, taking the opposite lane, speeding. Another one, a teenage member of a religious organization with a habit of doing tadarus every day, but such a pain when it comes to help his mom doing house chores.
People, please. Live up to the appearance, would you? You are all ruining the art of devilish concealment. Shame on you.
Then again, we may have lost our sense of art, or any other sense for that matter, along with the monetary crisis back in the 90s. Hell. - BLabbEr | Comments (5) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0)
