Trouble in Citidise

Citigroup plans to lay off about 10% of its global workforce. "The exact number is still a moving target but it will be dramatic" says CNBC source. Not only job cuts, the banking giant is also about to raise interest rates on its credit cards. Blame it on wall street morons!!

Adam Air black box recording leaked?

I'm sure most of us were saddened to hear the black box recording regardless it truly belongs to Adam Air KI 574 or not. Menhub Jusman Syafii Djamal who was terribly 'kebakaran jenggot' knowing the strictly confidential recording leaked to media has stated that the recording is fake whilst Senior Pilot interviewed by Nuansa Pagi - RCTI this morning said 'It's too real to be fake'... and i couldn't agree more.

Former Head of KNKT Setio Raharjo said 'cockpit conversation recorded in the black-box is strictly confidential and is not for public disclosure under Annex 13 International Civil Aviation Organization'.

I read Detik.com this morning and found out our Menhub has replaced the word 'fake' with 'illegal'. May the 102 victims rest in peace.

perhaps

..numbing the pain away

I love you always

I always need a piece of you in my life to teach me the way life should be.. but now I have to go coz I have work to do, Grandma

..so if it is our last day sitting here together
..and if today is my last chance to hold your tiny hands
I guess I can deal with that..

I’m not sad coz I know..
Eventually we will see each other again in other life..

then she told me to take care..
and hug me good bye...

you will be missed...

I supposed to post this last week:

Talking about Grandma, I’m trying hard NOT to do things that might hurt her heart… my grandma is now living with us… last night she was crying out loud at 1 am, so I stormed out of my bedroom to see what happened… She was confused and disoriented and couldn’t get to sleep… so I told her to close her eyes and pray… but she failed to sleep til about 4am! This is where I start to have my sleeping pills... ‘baby-sitting’ is never easy!!!

Can’t really imagine when I’m a very old lady... I shall be sitting in my care home... knitting sweater for my pretty little grand daughter and bitch about hearing aids with my old chum... - I guess.

Update:

My Grandma passed away last Sunday (24/02) I talked to her at around 11 pm, I held her hands then I went to sleep, at 6.30 am she was gone, just like that... I thought –at least- you could say goodbye to me and let me know that in 7 hours you will leave me forever... :'(

…dan ucapkanlah kepada keduanya ucapan yang mulia. Dan rendahkanlah dirimu terhadap mereka berdua dengan penuh kasih sayang dan ucapkanlah: “Wahai Rabbku, kasihilah mereka berdua sebagaimana mereka berdua telah mendidik aku waktu kecil.”
(Al Isra’ : 24)

Death is just the beginning...

I was golfing with my ex boss and a friend from freight forwarding company at Bogor Raya yesterday when I received a text message:

“Former President Suharto has died this afternoon at 01.10pm; his doctors confirmed multiple-organ failure as cause of death”

I was like: 'Already? Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un...'
Ex Boss: 'I thought he was not gonna die until they remove all the magic…'
Me: 'Oh, come on... that’s nasty!'
Friend: 'Shoot! They will close Halim... got to phone office now...'

Whatever this former President did in the past... I forgive him :D

And I wish him rest in peace...



Btw, will Pak Harto meet Heath Ledger there...? ;P

...

I’ve never been so sad like this...
and I don’t know how to end the sadness... or navigate it to delight...

if only I could just spill it all to trash bin...
