indi + rani = noe | kei

Pardon me for being a little morbid in this writing. Death is an interesting thing. From my experience I can conclude two things. When death happens around me, I felt scared. But when I was face-to-face with my own death, I surrendered to it quite happily.

On Dying

My brother Yodhi and I have registered to play doubles at the Singapore Tennis Association's SONY ERICSSON Open 2008 on 3-11 May.

The last time we played in tournament together was perhaps in the 1980s where we toured around Java for junior tournaments. As for me, the last competitive tennis I played was when Ben Metzger and I won the State of Maine 1993 high-school doubles title.

With aging and heavier (and slower!) bodies, we don't plan to win the trophy. We just want to have fun and give younger players a hard time!

I think the sayings "What gets measured, gets managed" is quite true....

Tracking our expenses and transactions

We have been quite rigorous in tracking our expenses and transactions since the first years of our marriage. We log our expenses up to the cents.

Now indrani.net starts to have guest contributors. Our first guest writer is Judhi Prasetyo, a great friend from Singapore. He's writing on how food in Singapore can have a religion.

Damn haze. The whole house is coughing and I have sore throat with slightly runny nose and sneezing (allergic reaction). Noe became fussy and lethargic. The blockage in my nasal area caused disturbing headache. ARRGH!! And we don't have air conditioning system at home, so we had to keep the window open or else we would be steamed inside the house. And all Indonesia does is apologize without doing anything.

Tadi pagi saya ke NUH dan menyampaikan turut berdukacita pada Haris. Berikut pesan dari beliau:

Jenazah sedang dipersiapkan untuk dari NUH.
Jenazah akan dimandikan dan disiapkan untuk dibawa ke Jakarta di daerah Kallang. Mungkin disemayamkan di sana... (informasi tempatnya ada di http://bintangmatahari.blogsome.com/ )

I got tagged by Yanti to reveal my five dreams. Well, since this website is owned by my whole family, I guess the tag is also applicable to the other members of the family.
