The Stopping Point
One of the basic and yet inspiring lessons I got from physics is Newton's first law of motion, or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. It says that an object will remain at rest, or continue in motion at a constant velocity and in the same direction, unless an outside force acts upon it....

DoFollow Blog
It seems that there's a silent revolution in blogosphere that has been going on for a while that I was not aware of. It's called DoFollow blog. I have seen signs such as "You comment, I follow", but I thought it was like if I left a comment then the blog owner will reply it, or will visit my blog...

The Phelan Legacy
A person can decide to donate time, efforts, goods, or money to support variety of causes or simply for the sake of giving things away. Small or big, a gift may leave a legacy that exceeds the person life span.
Having said that, when I was driving by Saratoga, California, cruising by the hills of...

Author below Post Title
After reading SBoentaran first posting in TAP (The Aroengbinang Project) and the comments posted, I saw the need to move author's name from the bottom of the article to the top of the post, right below the post title, as this will provide clearer information to the readers.
It took me sometime to...

Movements and Prosperity
The essence of business is movements. Movements of people, goods, information, money. Even in this modern era where people can place orders of goods and services through Internet, by fax, email, or phone, there will still be movements of raw materials to factories or centers of production, finished...

Treasuring Friendship
Greetings. Unlike regular mornings, I woke up without an alarm clock that Sunday morning. Grateful for a good sleep, I rolled over to reach my phone on the bedside. My Sunday morning ritual was about to start, making calls to my love ones far away from where I am, when I realized that my calf was a...

TAP Contributor
It's been a while that I have been thinking of inviting friends to be contributors of TAP (The Aroengbinang Project). For some reasons, I haven't found one, until recently, when a new friend has accepted the invitation.
Some friends may have plenty wonderful stories to share, but have no time to...

Statues at Soekarno Hatta
I'm an Indonesian of Javanese descent, and a citizen of the universe. That's one of my 'oaths' that I wrote in Sumpah Aroengbinang. I didn't ask to be born as a Javanese or Indonesian, and hence I just accept it as fact of my life, and fact is neutral.
As an Indonesian from Javanese origin I...

Heaven for All
It is human when people praise a hero and condemn the villain, admire a saint and despise evil doer. It is also equally human, however, to act the other way around. Good and evil persons are often products of times and positions, either from the point of view of just a gang of people or allies of...

TAP PageRank Slashed
I woke up quite early this morning, and instead of going back to sleep, I decided to open my notebook computer, checked email, released comment from Manler, and opened blogger to continue working on an article that I wanted to post this morning.
I had no problem to log in into blogger and could...

Sam Poo Kong Temple
How long will likely people remember our names and things we did, good or evil, when we are no longer exist physically on this old fragile earth. Three generations at most for the majority of us, if we married and blessed with offspring, and less if we didn't. Life's short, whilst memories stay...

The Witch of Portobello
The Witch of Portobello, another fascinating book by Paulo Coelho, greeted me at a small bookstore at Soekarno Hatta airport last week. It immediately landed in my hand for an exchange with a couple of banknotes equal to IDR.90,000.
It was a perfect companion to liven up the time during a three...

Pagoda Avalokitesvara Buddhagaya Watugong was another place of interest that I visited during my stay in Semarang a few weeks back, following advise from Senja. The location is a little bit far from the center of the city, on one of the highest hills in Semarang, exactly in front of Diponegoro...

The Law of Scarcity
A few weeks ago when I was ready to leave home for Cibubur on a Saturday morning, all of sudden I felt very cold and my body started to shiver. I got high fever. I already knew since the night before that I was contracted with flu and a bad cough, but I didn't know it was that bad. It took three...

Top Commenter Widget
It's been sometimes that I gave up looking for a widget that can display the top commenters in TAP (The Aroengbinang Project), as a form of appreciation to those who frequently click the "Post a Comment" link at the bottom of an article and took the time to compose and post their comments in...

A view from Argo Anggrek
It was February 3, when Jakarta was heavily flooded due to torrential rain, and the day before the airport was closed down because of poor visual visibility. I was in Semarang on that day, was not sure whether I could fly back to Jakarta, and hence finally I went to Tawang railway station to...

Lawang Sewu
Lawang Sewu, a Javanese phrase that means a thousand doors, is an old colonial style building located at Tugu Muda roundabout, city of Semarang. I surely have passed this building many times in the past, and many blogs have published articles about this site, but only last month I had a chance to...

The Rule of Four
The book, titled The Rule of Four, was already there for quite sometimes. My daughter bought it more than 6 months ago (12 months she said). It awaited me silently and patiently on a messy table full of wires and other stuffs in our common room. Common means a shared working room for my daughter,...

Tay Kak Sie Temple
It was originally an intention to visit Pasar Semawis, but it was too early to be there. Only a few shops were just opened, and hence there were not much to see around the market. Accompanied patiently by Senja who was so generous and kind to guide me around while I was in Semarang, we left the...

The Forbidden City
The last tourist spot that I visited in Beijing was the Forbidden City, the world's largest 74 hectares palace complex, which is located to the north of Tiananmen Square. The rectangular shape complex has a gate on each side. The distance between north and south gates is 960 meters, while the...

Tiananmen Square
Slow but sure, my memory of the bloody military crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 had faded away. The June-Fourth Incident was a painful dramatic results of series of rallies led by activists which was started in April 15, 1989.
Whilst the crackdown claimed between 200 to 3,000...
