Xiu Xiu

I watched a movie last midnight, entitled "Xiu Xiu" or also known as
"Sent-down Girl". It was a Chinese movie, about one of China's great
movement in the 60's. The movement is about leveling and reducing the
social condition gap between cities and rural areas, by sending
scholars to remote areas. So Xiu Xiu was sent to a remote site and help someone for sometime taking care some horses (ah, was sleepy so all the details became blur)


I didn't watch it till finish, but I'm thinking about looking a copy of
the movie, since I think it's worth to watch.

1984

If anybody have ever read a book with this title, I'd like to hear some comments.

I know this is a very old book, but I do believe that this is a good book to read.
Okay, for those that are definitely blind about this, I'm going to tell some points out.

"1984" is 'forth-telling' the situation that this world face in the year 1984.
It tells about how the nations in the world are uniting and therefore only making out the existence of some super-power countries. The focus is on a man that is dwelling about the truth and so-called ideology that his country implements to every 'civilized' civilian. Pretty amusing, I say.

There is one thing that really hit me on the spot. It's about how the leader run the country by preventing any difficulties to rise, in means of the wipe-out of words and definition from the society. Can you imagine you live in a society that doesn't understand what is "rebel", "inequality", or "initiative". Since words and definition are telling the society to think and compare every aspect of their situation, eliminating them is just like cutting the social logical frame, isn't it?

Starting this week

It was raining then, and I was already late for work. Luckily somebody with a ride pleased to drove me to my office. I guess, woke up late in the morning wasn't a good idea to start a day.

One of my office mates even have to deal himself with the rain by, only, using his bike (he's soaking wet right now). Hmm .. I guess a car must be included in my wishlist, not a fancy one - just something that can give me shelter during a hot and a rainy day. Do you know that Batam do have special regulation about importing cars from outside the country, and that is resulting car prices are very low in comparison with most of other area in Indonesia. An example, I can have a '93 Galant Lancer for IDR 38M. Well, most of them are second-hand, undeniably.

FuPei just remind me of my abundant resource of gmail invitation. I guess this one is going for a big one for gmail itself.
