Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 11:04 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: AC Milan's "Kakak" Goal
Sometimes I feel surprise to know that the result of a sport match at international level seems like inspired by my activities. Like what happened to the soccer match of Champions League semifinal second leg soccer match at the San Siro Stadium, Milan, Italy, on Wednesday May 2, 2007, between England team Manchester United against Italian team AC Milan, with the end result of 3-0 for AC Milan. The match took place a few days after I wrote my previous letter dated April 29, 2007, "Queen Elizabeth's Plan Visit to Virginia Tech . In that letter I wrote about my sister: " .. Queen Elizabeth's plan visit to Virginia Tech. The next day, on Sunday morning, I browsed the internet to find the related news, and it appeared that it was posted on 24 April 2007. The date of 24 April is like reminding me with my sister's birthday of 24 September. .Referring back to one evening around two weeks ago, when I was washing the dishes, all of the sudden my sister walked down the stair and reprimanding me about the water pump that was still not unplugged, while usually at night it should be unplugged. And I argued that although it was not yet unplugged but it was not running. " In Indonesian, the word for "sister" is "kakak". Since most of Indonesian words have no gender related, so the word "kakak" could mean either "older sister" or "older brother". And at that soccer match, the first goal was by Kaka, a Brazilian player in Italian team AC Milan. The match was televised in Jakarta at around 2 AM, early morning of 3 May 2007*. A few hours before the match, on May 2, 2007, I browsed and uploaded some photos of 1989 San Fransisco earthquake, as the preparation for my letter of May 5, 2007, "1989: My Work at American Express, Then Earthquake in California". Such earthquake reminds me with my relationship with Rina when I was at American Express whereas one day I was joking about her breast. In Indonesian, the word for "breast" is "susu", which could also mean "milk" in English. By the time I was collecting the photos of 1989 earthquake, my brother sent me SMS message, and one of the words was "tt". Actually it stands for "tante", a Dutch word adapted to Indonesian word for "aunt". Yet the "tt" is also sounds like Indonesian word "tete" which means "breast". So when later on AC Milan won the match, whereas Milan is like containing the word "milk", I immediately realized that the soccer match was like inspired by my browsing and uploading of photos a few hours earlier. Another interesting thing was that the second goal was made by AC Milan player "Seedorf". His name is like having the meaning of "seeing the door, Firman,......." like reminding me with the moment when I opened the door at the American Express and my eyes was seeing the beautiful girl Rina on the first day she appeared in the office. While the third goal was by Gilardino. In Indonesian word, "gila" has the meaning of "crazy". So the name of "Gilardino" was like reminding me that "if I still get crazy about someone named R, then I would die not". Or in other words, I should look forward, not backward, in order to fulfill my consent to move to the eternity.
* There is a difference of approx. 13 hours between Jakarta time and US Eastern Time. So when it was May 2, 6 PM ET, in Jakarta has been May 3, 6 AM WIB. Most of the photos at Yahoo News Photos are using the US Eastern Time, like for example Wed May 2, 6:25 PM ET.
Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 11:34 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Nicolas Sarkozy "Adik"
A few months ago, one night I dreamed about my old friend in the neighborhood when I was living at Sukabumi Street in central Jakarta. His name is Ade Pane, and in the morning when I woke up I wonder why did I dream about him while I have not met him again for so long. A few hours later at CNN there was the news about Nicolas Sarkozy announcing his candidacy for French presidential election. It was then I realized the connection of my dreaming about my old friend Ade Pane and the announcement of Nicolas Sarkozy to run for president. The name of my old friend Ade Pane has the first name "Ade" which is like Indonesian word "adik" that could mean either "younger brother" or "younger sister". While the first name of Nicolas Sarkozy is a little bit like the name of Nikky Hilton, the younger sister of Paris Hilton. Moreover, my old friend Ade Pane happens to be rather shorter than average height of my other friends. And Nicolas Sarkozy also rather shorter than the average height of the French. I immediatley thought that maybe there was some kind of psychic, some kind of gypsy fortune teller, who supported Nicolas Sarkozy and sent the messages to my brain that caused me to dream about my old friend Ade Pane that night. At first I was going to write about it immediately, but then I thought it could make me interfere with the presidential election in France, so I postponed it until the election took place and the result has been confirmed that Nicholas Sarkozy won the election. Congratulation Mr. President of France Nicolas Sarkozy.
