a tribute to diana krall

On these recent days, I enjoy listening Diana Krall's songs. I don't have any idea why, but it makes me cozy up to my restless heart, especially when the night comes. I don't feel comfortable with my recent daily work that makes me feel I am such an idiot: don't know what to do and which why forward. I feel like I don't belong here.

This is the first launched blog of mine, so I find myself comfort with a title of one of dianas' song: Narrow Daylight, of which then to be my blog's title.

Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over, summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?

Yes, shining hours are so brief, while a bulk of tasks are obviously seen.

I found myself comfort with the Rolling Stone's songs in last years ago of which those were apparently resembling my rebelious heart. But it seems, and I hope, this to be over, so I step into the 'it's a place where I can find some peace'. Moreover, the title of my weblog seems represent our narrow daylight that we experience during these days. So many things to do, but only litl' we can fulfil.

First ramadhan always differs from one authority to others and so does in the Netherlands here. Well, I don't want to offer debate here, as people have their own authorities to follow on. It is my first fasting out of my homeland. And I found it quite difficult especially at the first days. Now I can feel the luxury of fasting in home with family and friends. But so far, I managed myself to do it for the whole days. Even one week has unexpectedly passed by. I have to say that I, physically, don't have a lot of troubles keeping myself from drinking and eating. Even if I have to biking from one place to another. I also enjoyed a futsal game with my colleagues here in one afternoon before the dusk. However, if we talk fasting spiritually it is surely unbearable, I have to admit. You can imagine when mostly women here wear lower-rise jeans that offer their folds of skin around lower part of their body. They are not hesitate to show off their body shape and even their st

Perubahan selera humor anda mungkin penanda awal penyakit pikun

Tertawalah sebelum tertawa itu dilarang. Begitu pesan Warkop DKI di awal film-filmnya. Namun, berhati-hatilah jika anda atau orang yang anda kenal mulai menertawakan hal-hal yang tidak sepantasnya ditertawakan, atau selera humor anda menurun. Hal ini bisa menjadi tanda peringatan awal penyakit pikun (demensia), ungkap sebuah penelitian terbaru. Penelitian ini dilakukan oleh para peneliti dari University College London dan diterbitkan dalam Journal of Alzheimer dengan mewawancarai para kerabat dan rekan dari 48 penderita demensia atau pikun. Penyakit Alzheimer merupakan jenis penyakit pikun paling umum yang awalnya ditandai dengan melemahnya daya ingat, hingga gangguan otak dalam merencanakan sesuatu, menalar, membuat persepsi dan berbahasa. Gejala Alzheimer ditandai dengan proses degeneratif dari syaraf-syaraf penghubung (neurotransmitter) dan juga pada beberapa wilayah otak seperti lobus temporal dan lobus parietal. Gejala ini akan berkembang secara perlahan-lahan seiring waktu

Kincir angin

Belanda dikenal sebagai negara kincir angin, windmolen, windmill . Padahal di Inggris dan negara-negara lainnya ada juga. Tapi di daerah Wageningen ini gak ada, karena sebagian besar dijumpai di bagian barat negeri ini. Sebagian besar daerah di kawasan ini memang berada di bawah laut. Selain itu juga banyak rawa-rawanya. Nah, mereka bangun dam pembatas, kemudian satu daerah itu kemudian dikeringkan oleh kincir angin. Jadi kincir angin ini berfungsi sebagai pompa dari satu bagian ke bagian lain hingga daerah itu kering dan bisa ditanami. Hebatnya pengeringan itu tidak hanya menghilangkan banyak danau, tapi juga mereka bisa membuat satu propinsi, yaitu Flevoland. Propinsi ini di bawah laut, karenanya mereka memanggilnya de Zuiderzee. Juga, pelabuhan Rotterdam, salah satu pelabuhan terbesar di dunia, dikembangkan ke laut. Sebenarnya itu dilakukan oleh Singapura juga, tapi mereka mengaruk laut dengan pasir laut. Pasir lautnya dari Kepulauan Riau, hingga satu persatu pulau kita habis dan lu
