La Solitude -- An Assignment for Advertising Creative Planning Class (character)

O Cory, O Tory

I shall tell a story
About a man who loves glory
Glory he thinks comes from himself conclusory

Remember the tale of Narcissus

The lad fell into the lake full of hocus pocus
Staring at his own reflection as flawless as hibiscus
Forever he may think he is a basilicus

Perfect he thinks of his life

The thought had become a pocketknife
Which sent him quickly to the afterlife

----0000----

Sir Phil-O-Sophy is a honorable senior lecturer
He spends his day teaching and walking from corridor to corridor
Wearing shirt and trousers; leading his apprentices to the holly altar of science
Books, scrolls, quills and spectacles every pupils must have
Old documents to be read; Science within to be caught

Sir Phil-O-Sophy has every apprentices' respect

He is aware of it and he deserves it

Until one day he stares at his reflection in the mirror

"I am old and I am wise

I know a lot of things people do not
I have everything a man wish to have
Apprentices who follow faithfully
And my self, who live flawlessly
I shall let the world worship me in the altar of intelligence, shall I not?"

Noble Sir speaks and teaches for himself ever since
Listens to no body
Knowing no one is better than him
Doubting former knowledge -that it comes from old study
from other people's thought
The thought which contains nothing but flaws

Confused apprentice are leaving him behind

Neither Kant nor Epictetus

Dear Sir said was true

Pupils disagreed; pupils fleed

Not long til the time
He is all alone in life
Left behind and in need of a company
He stares at himself in the mirror
Looking at an old man who has nothing

Sir Phil-O-Sophy like Narcissus

Loved himself too much

Too much that he had nothing left for others

"For long

I wish I had realized what I saw in the past

I HAD NOTHING BUT PRIDE"

He sobs and weeps
Drowning himself in ultimate solitude ..........

"Narcissus, Narcissus
You indeed have a lot of adherent"

,whispers Echo

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing"

Socrates

Bonne nuit, Narcissus

Greetings from Pulau Tidung - Day 1

As I promised you, readers, I'm posting stories of my trip to the islands. :) Ready?? Okay here we go! Last Saturday, my friends and I went to Tidung Islands for a trip observation. It was officially a data-collecting activity and a hidden-intentional-holiday :3 There were moi (Shasa), Arif, Riry, Ethen and Yodsa.. Yes Just the 5 of us. They spent the night (Friday) in my house; the boys slept in the living room and the girls in the guest room. That was fun.. It felt like having lots of siblings. Hmm I always want to have big brothers. We began the trip from Muara Angke. The port was so stinky and filthy. We had to catch the 6 am boat so the morning started messily look as if we were having a war. Yodsa didn't even have a bath. Hahaa :) Well, thank God we made it. The boat take 3 hours to reach the island. So we sang and chatted along the way. I sang so much that a man offered me a record. Unbelievable! As we arrived on the island (Tidung Besar) at 11 am. We...

Sunday morning is really special for me! It's time for my hamsters :)) Yes, every Sunday morning my daddy, my sister and I have all the hamsters out. We clean all the cages and aquariums.

Yes all my hamsters... I have 13 of them :) Here is Jackie... We call her "Kubil" cause she's so annoying She loves to bite! *that's why I used that pink mop* She's a winter white pearl. I did have a complete family, but they died of rat attack long time ago. She's the only one left. Poor her... My boyfriend loves her so much *jealousy* (-,-) Here goes Judith..
