Nova Supernova

I got my order of Supernova series by Dee from kutukutubuku.com yesterday. Dee just launched the 4th installment of Supernova series, titled Partikel (in english: particle). It's thicker that the previous books, nearly 500 pages, almost twice Petir. I've opened the book and scan to the connection plot to the previous book, Petir, which is on the last chapter. And it's not so much describing the connection. It means that Dee actually mean it when she said that the connection of all Supernova books will be clear in the last episode: the 6th book - Inteligensi Embun Pagi. To consider that it takes 6 years from Petir to Partikel, I think I have to endure another 10 years until Supernova series completed. Oh God, I hope it won't be that long!

I really prefer buying books online than go to bookstore these days, part because it's cheaper (they gave me 15% discount) and part because I don't like crowded bookstore on the weekend. I'm still reading One Click, an unauthorize biography about Amazon.com and Jeff Bezos, and in the book, Bezos said that those two reasons above is exactly why people like to shop books online. Well, actually it's because we don't have to wear books, so that online book shopping will give you nearly zero unsatisfactory level.

Kembali ke pojok: Love is a four letter word

Aku merasakan suka cita dan bahagia yang dengan perlahan memenuhi ruangan ini. Melihat sepasang manusia yang saling menatap dengan takjub, dengan ekspresi yang kaya akan syukur dan bahagia. Ikrar akad nikah mereka baru selesai diucapkan, dan dengan diucapkannya tiga huruf dalam satu rangkaian kata berbunyi ‘sah’, mereka berdua memasuki kehidupan baru. How simple!

Aku menatap dan tak lama pun ikut tersenyum. Aku pun merasa bahagia, for such an undefined thing, aku bisa merasa bahagia. She’s my best friend, and he’s my colleague at work, and yes, they know each other through me. Siapa sangka? ironis, dan menurutku, aneh. Karena aku tak percaya cinta, maaf - kuralat, aku tak mengerti cinta.

Kedua mempelai lalu berkeliling, menerima salam, kecup dan peluk bahagia dari semua yang datang. Aku masih berdiri di tempatku, tersenyum sambil menatap mereka bahagia. How lucky they are. Mereka lalu mencapai tempatku berdiri, dan bersama-sama keduanya memelukku.

No Extra Part

Someone asks me a question today: "what is the best movie for this year (so far)?"

And the answer instantly popped up in my mind: Hugo.

As we all know, it is Martin Scorsese's, and as you may know that he, as far as I know, never make a crappy movie. Hugo is a piece work of art and creativity, and I don't care that people tell it is not commercially succeed, Hugo still outstanding.
