Pickpocket MO!!

On that bright day, I use a city transport to get to my girl’s house. That transport car when I stop it, we still have 5 empty seats there. Three more people also hop into this car. All were men. Let say they were A, B, and C. They occupy two seats on the edge, and one seat in the middle, near an empty seat. That’s four. So we had one seat left. Not long after those three, middle aged man also hop in. Let says he is D. The person that one of those three, let said he is A, said that there’s empty seat at his left. So this middle aged man sat there.

Not long after the car started to move, a person near the edge (Let said he is B) try to give out some papers. Like an advertisement paper. He also tried to touching people’s hand like demonstrating a massage like what the paper said. D was the last person he touched. After that, he stopped the car and get out as soon as possible after paying to the driver. When the car moved again, suddenly the person at the edge (let says he is C) asked to D, “Is there anything missing? Like cellphone perhaps?” D started to panic. He checked his cellphone, which was gone already. So C suggested to D that he must hop out and chase the only person who touched him, B. Looks like C was good enough for willing to paid D’s transport cost. And that’s how the pickpocket done according the flat eyes.

Is that just it? Is it that simple? Hell no. In fact, A, B, and C are the suspect of this crime. The plan is, A told the victim (D) to sit near him. B started to take people’s attention by giving advertisement paper. A take this chance to get the cellphone. After successful attempt, B hoped out of the car. Soon after that, C warned D about pickpocket threat. After it’s confirmed that the cellphone was gone, C suggest to D to go after B. This was for keep D away from A, the real executor of the pickpocket. And viola, A was not caught, and B was found empty handed. While D was still confused where his cellphone gone.

What a great plan isn’t it? Well, this method already started long ago. But it seems lots of people still weren’t aware of it. So I post this in hope that whoever read this, can raise their awareness at public place about this threat. Be careful with your surroundings ^_____^a

Arrogant teacher!!

Mew. A Lecturer, a doctor, who behaved like spoiled child. Can you imagine? Spoiled child at that age? Become a lecturer? For me, that was a disappointment. I think anyone will have this feeling if they have a lecturer like this one.

I hear this from my girlfriend. Well. This is the cause why I label him/her as spoiled child. Yesterday, my girlfriend and her group had some exams. Two of them are verbal exams. The examiner was, yes, that lecturer, or doctor, whatever. Most of the questions are answered right, at least according to the handbook from respective university. But, guess what? That doctor did not accept those answers. Why? Because those answers did not exactly same with the book he/she wrote. And for that, he even rejected anyone for those exams. And that’s including other group. What make it worse, that attitudes still continue up until this moment. What a pain. Not a single group can have exams which assigned to this doctor. If I was the examine, not my girlfriend, and not have my group’s future in our hand, I must have yelled to that doctor ignoring my own grade.

Well … maybe I to act like a spoiled child, but whenever my acts give disappointment, I always try to fix it as soon as possible. Specially, if I have lecturer role as that doctor. I wonder, is this human nature when they feel higher than other, they tend to take advantage from other? Even if it is, isn’t there a way to suppress it? I believe there’s a lot ways for that. It just that those arrogant doctors never try to fix it in the first place.

I wonder when will this country’s education will change? When will the result are looked at what the students can do, not what the students’ grade? Well, it’s up to the government and the people. Me? I’m just a lousy man who try to change myself better by learning on someone (and mine too of course) mistakes. I hope someday people will change …. Just small hope though if you looked at this community which became worsen each day :(

Unfortunate Event!!

Last night, I moved to my new rent room. After shopping for my daily use, I ate a few noodles and take a shower. Around midnight, I started to sleep. Before that, I set my alarms on my cell phone to 6 o'clock. To make sure I'm not late for going to my new office for the first time.

When I woke up, I'm wondering, why my alarms didn't shout? I thought it's not reached 6 o'clock yet. But then, I surprised. Guess what? My cell phones, two of them, are gone missing. I looked around every corner of the room in vain. Then I realize that my door is slightly open. I rushed to check my wallet. Yep, what I'm afraid of actually happened. All money was gone. All of them, including small changes. That time I realize that my room has been burglarized :(

I lost estimated to more than three millions rupiahs. What a stupidity of my own. I can’t remember was I locked my door or not. This is really sucks. When I try to conserve my money for my future needs, a thief toke my cell phones which forced me to buy a new one. And because of that too, I can’t help my girl’s best friend which I promised to. I feel sick to myself. How come I so careless last night. Just when I want to do some good deeds T_T

There’s no way I can satisfy until the thief got punished for what he/she did. So, My Lord, please give him an evenly punishment for what he/she did >:(

Delayed Flight!! - Reloaded

Unbelievable!! Two long delay in a row. Does my luck has run out or it's company's problem? Last month, my flight delayed 4 hours. Last night? 7 HOURS!! And it happened with a big reputation flight company, AirAsia. And guess what? According to a frequent flyer I've meet during the waiting, she said it almost always delayed! It even combined two flight schedules into one. To pressed company loss? Yeah right!! (-_-)a

I came 20 minutes before the flight schedule. I was shock already when see the retime announcement on the board which said that the flight retime from 17.10 to 22.20. I was disappointed with that already. The cause? Some said it was vehicle problems. Broken windows and some hydraulic problems. I can understand that this mean they need to retime. But, for 5 hours? That was a long time. And at 19.11, another shock came up. The flight delayed AGAIN to 00.25. What a pain.

There're some points of my disappointment. First, I wonder if this company has bases here at Indonesia? Why do we have to wait a backup plane from Malaysia? And why they didn't prepare a backup plane earlier. Second, why do we have to retime again until 00.25? It doesn't make sense. They don’t even think about customers planning at all. Well, the first one just a rumor though. But if it's true, that's a disappointment for my opinion. Oh well. I won't use this company in the near future ever again. At least until their management upgraded. See you around AirAsia!

Flight Incident

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007, I had a flight from surabaya to jakarta. My father drive me to Juanda airport. Lots of uneasy feeling that time. We depart from our house nearly without sparetime incase of traffic jam. It's true that we didn't have any meaningful traffic jams. But The rain falls heavily.

We arrive at airport at 16.30 while my flight depart on 17.10. Still enough time, I thought. So I rush to check in at AirAsia counter. The counter officer said that the flight will delayed one hour, to 18.10. So I have to wait one hour. I'm fine with that actually. What makes me uneasy is, untill 18.50, there's still no news about the ship we will board. People start to wandering arround at airport lounge.

The cause of this unpredicted delay is accident of one of Adam Air ship which slip off while landing on runway 10. According to newspaper, it's sustain large pressure at a moment before landing which makes the ship unstable and broke the wheels. I don't know for the detail though. That accident makes some ships which will land on runway 10 must detour to Ngurah Rai airport at denpasar, bali. while ships that just departed from jakarta returned to Soekarno-Hatta airport.

The cleaning of runway 10 takes time. At 8.20, AirAsia ship finally arrived. We board to it at 8.40 and depart at 9.00 or more. Thus, we delayed for four hours. The last two incident involving aircraft are involving Adam Air. Still in our memories where Adam Air lost at Makassar. Now, We had a little incident involving the same company. Although there's no cassualties, this can drive people opinion about safety on Adam Air ships. Specially for the victims. As for me, we can't fully blame the company since that time, the weather suddenly turn into a really bad conditions.

I hope all companies can learn from this incident and think more about passengers' safety.
