Left-Right Brain Test

Look at this animated picture: (pay attention to the direction of the movement, not her body shape )

What direction it moves? Clockwise or counter clockwise? The result will tell you what kind of person you are…

If your eyes catch the clockwise direction it means you use your right brain mostly. What if counter clockwise? You use your left brain mostly. So what is the difference?

Just ask uncle google LOL

TIME! OH.. TIME!

What year is it dude? Yeah, 2009! So what?

Last night I watched a holywood film titled ” The Twelve Monkeys” on transtv, my favourite Indonesian tv. This film was made at 1995. Guess what? Read this: In 1996-1997, the Earth’s surface was contaminated by a virus so deadly that it forced the surviving population to live underground. Wow! It’s 12 years ago man.. 1997 is just the past! Not the future anymore.

This film was inspired by the French short film La Jetée (1962) setted it’s time on 2035 ( You think this year is far enough from now, but let’s see, you’ll soon wake up at 11:45 pm, and feel 2009 is just “yesterday”, then you decide to go out, you see the big poster: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2036.. ahhh- you can write a comment on thist post then, if this truely happen next ).

The film depicts a future world devastated by disease, forcing the human population to live underground. Convict James Cole (Willis) “volunteers” for time travel duty to gather information in exchange for prison release. When he first arrives in the past, Cole is arrested and locked up in a psychiatric hospital, where he meets Dr. Kathryn Railly (Stowe), a psychiatrist, and Jeffrey Goines (Pitt), the insane son of a scientist and virus expert.

I will ignore all other sci-fi components in this film and concentrate to one point: TIME! The principle of the time machine is still in the “imposible area” though, teoritically, it’s easily formulated.

Now.. get inspiration from the following pictures:

the ancient time machine?

Time Machine again

time machine more?

funny time machine

The true time machine mankind ever made (look at the "small" human)

black hole (where the worm hole based idea came from..)

Get the inspiration? Not yet? Don’t be afraid, the point is:

Before the first time machine is truely made, and works flawlessly, give your TIME your BEST you can do! She (owww.. time is sexy!) will never comes twice!

Idulfitri, Lebaran, and the Fresh Inspired Soul

Talking about the inspired words, it’s not just merely the short listed one. Starting from this day, I will write special article for your inspiration dude! So check it out!

I write this article at the last day of fasting month (ramadhan) here, in Indonesia. For your acknowledgement, I am a villager, I was born at Selorejo village (uniquely here, there was a number “52″ referred to this village, many people say that, this is the representation of  “bedeng” number assigned for the place of migrated java people, during netherland imperialism), in the east of Lampung, the eastest province of Sumatra island.  So, I know precisely what the “mudik” impact is..

There are many things we (Indonesian) feel these days. Tomorrow will be the great day, we call it “lebaran”. If you are an American, you can imagine my country’s situation like your ”happy holidays, merry christmas and happy new year” days. Every end of year, you celebrate it. These days are the longest holidays among the year. So do we do these days.

We have a tradition called “mudik” when the urbans went back to their each origin villages to make the relationship ritual called “silaturrahim”. It’s the moment when the son met his parents for asking the forgivenes from each other. They want to clean, to purify their heart from the sins after a month fasting ritual by forgiving the mistakes ones to other. Yeah.. it’s heart touching dude! Sometimes, some persons, especially womans, cried out load, begging for the forgiveness from the others. I’m sure, pretily sure, you won’t find this tradition elsewhere in the world!

idulfitri

Basicly, this tradition was based on the Islamic Idulfitri day, but then it’s costumized by local influence. So, lebaran is unique. Lebaran is not merely Idulfitri. This day is the day when many people rethinking about their past and replanning, reconfiguring for the better next. This day is the day when the lost sons coming back to their mom and dead.

But, this day also full of the ironic things. Just a glance example is the exibition show of urban workers. They use every effort to show their prestige to their homy vilagers! Sometimes, their “ a whole year salary” spent out just for this prestige show. How ironic!

But, from the whole history, we can see then, that everyone of us need the “refresh” for the soul in our live, just like windows desktop LOL… It’s necessarily important to upgrade our brain, to “clean install the windows” and to “ reinstall all necessary software” in order for us to be free from the “viruses” and “worms”. So, the possibility of appearance of the “hang” and “blue screen” death can be reduced.

So, then what? Nothing! I just want to say to all moslem all around the world:

HAPPY IDULFITRI DAY

WE WISH YOU TO BE SINS FREE

LIKE THE NEWLY BORN BABY

AND FULL OF BLESSINGS

AMIN..
