The sense of smell is similar. Your brain kicks in and suddenly all kinds of previous associations that were stored in your head come back. (Even ones you thought you’d forgotten completely about.)

One whiff of a kretek as you get off a plane can instantly transport you to an emotional moment from the past. A few bars of music sitting in a taxi can do the same. Of course, it’s not always good. Some things we like to forget. Some times, our brains won’t let us…

Tears, fears, girlfriends. boyfriends, husbands and wives, good times, bad times, dreams and nightmares are all there…just waiting to be triggered again.

To tell the truth, I had no idea. Well, I did, but everything I thought of was wrong. Like, have a drink of water (can push the obstruction down even further), slap him on his back (same problem), and so on. What was needed was a very strong abdominal hug from behind. That doesn’t always work either, but this time, it did. The piece of chicken came flying out of his throat.

He told me later that he had a maximum of three minutes left to live unless his airways were cleared. I know this is not a common occurrence, but it does happen. Would you know what to do?

Kalau PR itu di apdet 3 bulan sekali berarti tanggal 28 Agustus ini hasilnya. Huaaa bisakah naik satuuuu saja…atau malah 0 atau dipercepat teman yang lain pun ada yang baru 2 bulan sudah di apdet kok. Biasanya setiap 17 Agustus setiap tahanan yang berkelakuan baik akan diberi keringanan dengan dikuranginya masa tahanan, apakah Google akan membebaskan aku dari kurunganya, Sekarang kan iklanya adsen doang gak pake yang lain kapooook, buruan donk Gelllllllll !!!!

We didn’t see anybody warning him and before we could, he’d already passed through some traffic lights and was gone. Maybe his corn was gone, too.

I wonder what his wife said when he got home? Maybe no “corn on the cob” for him that night.

The technicians from Telkom told me that it’s now easier for people in Bali to use their service. Thousands of them. What makes me happy about this is that I got a phone call yesterday morning from them. They came to me with all the forms. All I had to do was sign them and pay Rp75,000 registration. And wait, of course, for activation. Even that was one day earlier than they said.

Now I’m super happy. Can get back to more blog-work when I want. Ke blogspot tiap hari ? siapa takut ? Bye…bye…Internet kuya !
