President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder, has certain meaning for me related with my consent to move to the eternity. In 1982, when I fell in love with a girl next door, among my other friends who also wanted her before me was Erry Daryo. She developed a close relationship with me for several months after Erry Daryo was rather close to her, then I moved to another house far away from the previous house.

In the nineties came the news about my friend Erry Daryo passed away.

In 1995, I made the painting of Maudy Koesnaedy, like mentioned in my previous letter of "Not Lowering The Ford". The painting was about a girl in front of a frog, inspired by the story about a frog kissed by a princess then the frog becomes a prince. It was to depict my feeling of guilty for my failures in this world, making me feel like a frog who should get a kiss from a princess. But because my intention was not to become a prince, instead to move to the eternity, so the princess was represented by Maudy, because her name sounds like Indonesian word "maut" which means "die". Then came a photo of Lady Di, whose name also sounds like "die", with a pose similar to Maudy's pose in the painting.     

Later on Maudy Koesnaedy married with Mr. Eric Meyer, a marketing manager at Telkomsel. The name of Mr. Eric Meyer inevitably reminds me with my old friend Erry Daryo who died in the nineties. The marriage seems like a reminder for me, that "after Eric Meyer with Maudy, I should then with my 'maut' or dead".   

And now Rahma Sarita works at TV-One with the boss Mr. Eric Thohir, which also like a reminder for me about the "after Erry" matter.

With Mr. Eric Holder to become U.S. Attorney General soon, this is certainly a serious matter for me, to stick with my consent to move to the eternity for the good of human being in this world.

In my previous letter of "Cancelling G-77 Gathering, Man Chest Rahma United", I wrote about my cancelling to attend the event held by my friends on 18 December 2008 : "......because it was held on this month of December, that reminds me with the reunion on December 2004. The first reunion of my ex-senior high school friends I ever attended was on 12 December 2004, at the same place of Dijan Cafe and Restaurant, and 14 days later on 26 December 2004 the Asian Tsunami happened with more than 200 thousand victims in twelve countries. So yesterday's event was like a chance for me to erase my mistake of year 2004. There is the phrase of the prophet that says, the good deed of meeting others would, among which, make life longer. Therefore, my attending the reunion on 12 December 2004, meeting more than 200 friends of mine, could be like prolonging my life multiplied by 200 more. My cancelling yesterday's event will probably erase my mistake, and to strengthen my consent of not prolonging my life, in accordance with my consent to move to the eternity. What would happen 14 days later after 18 December 2008, only God knows, hopefully it will be for the good of human being........."

That letter was dated 19 December 2008. Then came the news of 20 December 2008 about President-elect Barack Obama nominated Navy Admiral Dennis Blair, to lead the intelligence service.

His name like containing two important matters related with me.

His first name Dennis reminds me with my ex-senior high school friend Emiria, or usually called with her nick name Anis. Something important happened in 1983 related with Anis. One day my father asked me to withdraw some cash from Bank of Tokyo. By the time I entered the bank, I was surprised to know that my friend Anis was working there as the teller. So surprised, that after receiving the cash at the teller, I put a piece of 50 thousand paper currency inside my pocket separated from other pieces of money I placed in a brown envelop.

The last name Blair reminds me with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. For me, Mr. Tony Blair is one of the three-wonder persons I ever experienced in my life after my work at American Express. The other two were president Bill Clinton and you.

When I attended an interview for a job at American Express in 1989, along with me was a young man later on I knew as Tony Utomo. He and I were then passed the interview and worked at American Express, at that moment the boss was Mr. William G. Mould or he used to say "just call me Bill".

Then in 1992 Mr. Bill Clinton won the presidential election, and won again for the successful second term in 1996.

While in 1997 Mr. Tony Blair won the election and became British Prime Minister. Mr. Tony Blair was the Labour Party's longest-serving prime minister, the only person to lead the party to three consecutive general election victories.

Translation: "Simply saying is butterfly

effect. A butterfly flap its wing in Beijing....."

  Translation: ".....in Central Park it is raining, not bright day......"

 

 

 

 

 

In the last paragraph of my 29 November 2008 letter " Air New Zealand Crash After Your "Back to School" ", I wrote about ".......also like to remind me of the danger of my presence in this world that could sometimes triggered disasters, as if related with the Chaos Theory of Butterfly Effect, "the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas", a phrase also appeared in the Steven Spielberg's movie Jurassic Park......."

The mentioning of  "the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas" based on an article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect. Nevertheless it actually made me feel uncomfortable, because president Bush came from Texas.

On 13 December 2008, the movie Jurassic Park happened to be televised at Trans-TV, and I managed to snap some pictures, and in that movie the place's names were not Brazil and Texas, instead Peking, or Beijing, and Central Park.

On 10 December 2008, came the news of  President-elect Barack Obama nominated Mr. Steven Chu for energy secretary. His name is like combining Mr. Steven Spielberg's name and the scene of his movie Jurassic Park about the butterfly effect which mentioned Beijing.
