Date: Thu, 23 October 2008 9:57 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Toro Rosso And Mbah Marijan "Roso......roso....."
The name of F1 team Toro Rosso where Sebastian Vettel joins and won the youngest champ of F1 in mid September 2008 reminded me with the slogan of an energy drink in Indonesia, Kuku Bima. In the TV commercials, this Kuku Bima advertising has the slogan of "Roso,......roso.....", and it is starred by a famous old man Mbah Marijan, known as the keeper of Merapi mountain. He has spent many years living in the Merapi mountain so he knows the character well, he knows when to start evacuating himself whenever the vulcanic activities has become too dangerous. When mount Kelud cancelled the eruption and changed it with the birth of new mountain Child of Kelud, like I wrote in my letter of "The Smoking Kelud", I experienced something about inheriting the disaster. A few days after I wrote it, around November 2007, I was in the mosque waiting for the Friday praying, sitting nearby the stairs, when some junior high school children came from upstairs. All of a sudden came a thought in my mind that the eruption of Kelud was not cancelled, it was only delayed for future vulcanic activities, and it would be inherited to those children generation. A few months later, on September 2008, I was sitting at the same location again when a child of junior high school came from downstairs. He looks like a child in TV commercial about Internet entering the Indonesian villages. Then came a thought in my mind, if God happened to give me the chance to delay the coming of doomsday, would it be good for the future generation? What if the future generation could no longer stands the strong wave of temptation of worldly sin, therefore the delay of doomsday would only increase the percentage of human being falling to hell? I think God knows the answer, so I leave it to God. What I can do is to prevent the doomsday according to whatever I can do, in my capacity as human being, and not asking for delaying it if it would be bad for human being.
Date: Thu, 23 October 2008 10:26 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Rahma in Red, "As Diana"
Thursday 28 August 2008, Rahma Sarita appeared as the host of Apa Kabar Indonesia Malam, the night version of the same program formerly only held in the morning. That time she appeared differently, she was on the sidewalk of Thamrin street, wearing red dress, standing not so far away from the traffic light. When the light turned red, cars stopped and one of them was a Toyota Rush, the car mentioned in my letter of "Paris in Russia and the Toyota Rush". A few minutes later Rahma continued the program with an interview in the lobby of Wisma Nusantara building. One of the guest was Erlangga Masdiana, but Rahma mentioned his name as "Erlangga Esdiana". And it was not a slip of the tongue, because she mentioned it several times. It could have contained certain meaning. Rahma once told me that she graduated from Erlangga university. While the mentioned of Esdiana sounds like "as Diana". Probably it was a sign from Rahma that she would like go along with me to meet the end through a car accident, to become like Lady Diana who died in the car accident in Paris.

On 15 September 2008, through http://bafagih06.multiply.com the website of Mr. Wardy my former supervisor at American Express, I wrote him about the winning of Sebastian Vettel in F1 grand prix. The name Sebastian sounds like "Sheba Setia End", whereas "setia" is Indonesian word for "loyal". It was like representing Rahma Sarita's loyalties to go along with me to meet the end like I mentioned in the above letter of "Rahma in Red, 'As Diana' ". In Arabic tradition, Queen Sheba is known as Queen Bilqist, or often mentioned as Queen Balqist. And several days earlier, on 8 September 2008, when I was on my way to the house of my friend Benyamin Laya who died the previous day in Kalimantan island, I did found the name Balqist in a car. It was a mini van with some dust on the rear window, and as usual sometimes there are those who like to write in such dusty window, using finger. And what was written there that day was a name Firman, like my name, and underneath it was Balkis. The name of my friend who died, Benyamin Laya, reminded me with Paris Hilton's boy friend Benji Madden. So those names of Firman Balkis seemed like to remind me of not treating Paris Hilton as some kind of Balqist since she already has a boy friend Benji Madden. So it should goes to Rahma Sarita as the Balqist.

The world bearish market started from down turned of Dow Jones inevitably affected BEI, the Indonesian Stock Exchange. On Wednesday 8 October 2008, the BEI authority decided to suspend the trading after the morning session because of the drop of more than ten percent of the index. It continued until Sunday 13 October 2008, it was opened again. It was the first suspension ever done with the cause of financial crisis reason. On the day of the suspension, Rahma Sarita appeared wearing black dress, as if strengthening her commitment to go along with me in the land journey that would probably ended up in a deathly car accident like what happened to Lady Diana.
Date: Thu, 23 October 2008 11:18 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Two Stages of Six Month Marriage Approaching The Die
On 19 July 2008, through http://bafagih06.multiply.com the website of Mr. Wardy my former supervisor at American Express, I proposed an idea of "Six Month Marriage Approaching The Die". At that moment the oil price was still around 130 dollars per barrel, and food price also soaring high, so my concern was to get married and then divorced, with the hope it would make me die and the price getting down. The reason for extending the idea to Rahma is because the last two huge disasters, the WTC 911 in 2001 and the Asian Tsunami in 2004, seemed like related with my failure of developing good relationship with Rahma. So she might be the key to solve the problems of my often seemed like becoming the trigger of disasters whenever I suffered from a broken heart. Besides, she is 33 years old now, whereas 3+3 is 6. In Indonesian, the word for 6 is "enam" that sounds like "end A.M.", whereas "A.M." is from my name A.M. Firmansyah. She would be 34 on 7 April 2009. On 2 October 2008, the term was changed into two stages of six months, to become one year. Because in 2009, probably around August or September, there would be the presidential election. Since she works in TV-One that could be interpreted as "TV for the election of number one person in the country, or presidential election", she could be treated as a "lucky charm" by certain candidates. In my religion, using lucky charm is a fatal sin, it would be like treating the lucky charm as a God. Therefore, the six months term is changed into six months part I and six months part II.
