FPI vs Dayaknish : What Really Happen to Pontianak City?

Conflicts always pops up when we are talking about multiculturalism country. Well, merely several countries can handle the togetherness and various of races, cultures and religion. Well, an incident happened yesterday in my city, a Muslim organization came to Pontianak city. I do not really know what the case is, but it is true that this organization has been banned by some provincials in Indonesia, rejected and so on. 

Lots of people claim that their existence is a threat for people, some said they are such a gangster that covered in the name of religion. As the result, last month, exactly on 11th of February 2012, East Kalimantan rejected FPI to come in their district and even refused them start from the airport. 

 

Yesterday, an incident popped up, in today headline news it is said that there are some colleagues refused FPI to come to Pontianak city. The mass (some members) of FPI noticed it and did some anarchist movement. Those colleagues are Dayaknish, students from eastern of West Kalimanatan and also the youngsters of Dayak tribe.

 

Of course, this is not a common incident, it is common for people to aspirate their voice to reject something, but those FPI people seem precisely could not respect each other. Then, Dayaknish have a meeting and mediation in Betang House at around 12 pm in Sutoyo street.

 

As the result of the meeting, they decided to have a march to reject FPI and demonstrate in front of police station and Pontianak waterfront. But, when the march passed over Veteran street, FPI mass popped up with weapons, Police announced that Pontianak city was in dangerous condition stage one, everybody closed their shop, went home and closed the doors. 

 

The conflict popped up on the street, there were some violence happend but gratefully police warned them and each side retreated. Even until now, the atmosphere is still unstable, still people are afraid to go out and little people hang out or just have a walk. 

 

Commonly, in Facebook or Twitter site, I can find 20-25 Pontianak city people online. But because of this condition, everybody is seeking for information and staying at home, waiting for safety, as the result more than 40 people online since in the morning. 

 

Me and myself, in the morning I go to school actually we have some recollection activity in Ambawang, but our teacher asked us to go home because the street was blocked since early in the morning. I stayed at school until 9.30 something and stay at home until now. 

 

Some people close their stores earlier and I can see lot of police are patrolling everywhere. Some hoax or I can say gossip in BB and text messages said that the conflict between two sides still does not meet an end. Some people said it is safe already. 

 

There is no point for this incident, schools are being closed by the government for 2 days, people do not dare to go out. Some sellers must close their stores earlier and people are still in their dilemma.

 

What should we do?

Can we make an end of this?

How long should this happen?

Can't we solve this in other way?

How many time should we spend?

 

Nobody can answer, it goes back to each side whether should this incident happens or not.

 

HAVE A NICE DAY

Part 3: SPL on Holiday (Journey to Singkawang)

Go back to the trip, everybody sang Katy Parry's song (Last Friday Night, I Kissed A Girl, Hot 'N Cold, etc) and the best part is when we sing Adele's song (Someone Like You, Set Fire to The Rain, Make You Feel My Love, Rolling In The Deep). 

Everybody was so crazy, the funniest thing in the car when Sir was asking for mint candies from Ciput, the person who poured the mint box to Sir was me and he did not want to eat more than two, two times I poured too much, three and four tablets, and he asked me to take it. The problem is he ate that candies every 20 minutes, and I have to eat the rest if I gave him more than two (I can't return it, it is contaminated already, lols). 

Several minutes before we got into Singkawang, Ciput or somebody else opened a sack of rice crackers, I smelled that it was like chicken.

"Oi, I smelled chicken, who bring chicken in the car?", I asked.

Everybody was in silence or perhaps confused which chicken I was talking about. Then Ciput looked at me and smiled.

"It is not chicken but rice crackers", Ciput said.

"Where is your nose Winny, you got a problem with your nose", Gerry said.

Everybody was laughing and so did I. I swear! It was chicken aroma, the aroma was totally same. Several minutes later, we could see mountains, hills and dangerous street, it was not large enough for two cars so the car moved slower than before. 

"I am hungrrryyy~", Sir said.

"Me too aaa Sir", Gerry said.

"I don't ask you", Sir replied.

Hwahwhahwahhwa~ *everybody was laughing at him.

"Now I ask, who is hungry", asked Sir.

Cokro raised his hand, Edwin, and some girls that I could not see because Yoanna sat on me.

E.T-Katy Perry

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
This is transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wavelength
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

Part 2: SPL on Holiday (Journey to Singkawang)

Brumm... Bruuumm~

The car started to active and we were very happy. Sir tried to turn on the air conditioner and went back to set our each position. In the front side still Sir, I and Yoanna. In the middle side Hanny, Ciput, Bella and Stephie. In the back side, Cokro (the guy who claims he is the most handsome in SPL), Gerry (the guy who is searching for his true love, but until today he can't), Edwin (my craziest junior and always bully me, while I bully him back) and Melvin (the tall guy and best third speaker in my third preliminary competition).

Then, hoooraaaay~ We start our trip. We started to panic because there would be 2 tolls. First, the reason is because we were over loaded, let me remind you, 11 people in a car, again IN A CAR. 

When we passed the first toll, Sir asked us to pray. 

Then I said, "Dear God, please allow us to pass".

My friends laughed at me, yeah that qinda funny but I was serious at that time ee. Soon, we pass the first toll and hopefully the second toll indeed.

When we passed Tugu Khatulistiwa, tall guy, Melvin said his leg was cramp, we were laughing because he was funny. 

Gerry said, "Hoy tall guy, are you cramping because of sitting among the girls?".

Then if  I am not mistaken Cokro or Edwin said, "Hey it is because of Bella!".

Then he shut his mouth and kept holding his cramping legs. Poor Melvin~

After that we passed an Equator monument in Siantan and close to there, there is an ancient cemetery, Chinese cemetery. Suddenly, Sir threw some coins from the window one by one.

Cling.. Clang.. Clang.. Cling.. It hit the car and made some coin tossed sounds.

"Sir, it must be a superstition, I guess", I said.

"Actually I don't believe it, but I have done it for a long time, so it becomes a habit. It's my mom's tradition", sir said.

"So what is it for?", I asked curiously.

"You know what I mean", he said and seems like he did not want to tell me at that time.

And of course I just silenced. Several minutes later, the cramping boy was complaining that he could not hold it anymore, then sir stopped the car and asked him to move in back side. He agreed and they changed the position and of course it looked more comfort rather than before.

The trip was so long, the car was too slow for me, because my daddy is crazy driver, so I get used to fast and extreme trip. It was only 40-50km speed, and I reckon it was too slow. We talked about lots of things, about our SPL, about proverbs, even about business. In that car, the atmosphere turned into professional talk show. Lols~

Everybody was sucking to toilets. Can't hold it anymore especially Gerry. We stopped at Sei. Pinyuh and exactly in a souvenir's shop. 

"2 half hours more", sir said.

Seems like everybody is still happy and enjoying the trip. lols~ I found some unique food there, there were pearl sago crackers, dried cassava balls, candies, more and more. 

 I bought a pack of dried cassava balls for us and it is very sweet, crunchy and savory, but yeah when you ate it, you will be in messy because it spread everywhere.

Part 1: SPL on Holiday (Journey to Singkawang)

"There is no other journey can beat this one!!!", that is the words comes up in my mind.

2 days ago we were having  trip to Singkawang, a nice city in West Kalimantan. We spend around4-5 hours to there. It was cloudy and windy, the day was clear and lovely breeze blew up.This is not a common trip but absolutely a nice trip. So I will tell you what happen at the first time.
We were planning to gather in our English teacher's house at 7.30 a.m, but sadly I was late because I need to go to monastery. I was late, very late, I came at 8.15 am and looked like people were waiting for a long time. Eventually, we departed and locked the door with our bags. 

"How many of us will go? One, two three, seven, ten, plus me, eleven", said sir.

"What? 11 people in one car?", said Gerry.

"Come! come!", said sir.

We forced to get in and here comes up the position, 3 people in front (Yoanna and I, sir in driver's seat), 4 people in middle (Ciput, Hanny, SAW and Bella) and 4 people in back side (Gerry, Cokro and Edwin). It was sucked and of course not large enough, and yeah it was over loaded, very over loaded. But it's fine, even I am babbling to death and complain, there is no other way. When my teacher tried to activate the car, the machine did not work, then he tried and tried.

"Oh My God, Oh My God, we are dead", said sir.

By hearing that, sir asked us to get out of the car and asked the boys to push the car.

"If I know, I won't come. It is better to have my Innova!!!", complained Gerry.

Other boys did not complain and with hopeful eyes they pushed the car but it came up with no result. For the second time again and again sir tried to activate the car and boys were pushing the car.

As a girl, and with other girls, what should we do? I laughed of this incident, looking at the boys were pushing car is quite funny. Lols~ What I really remember is when Edwin and Cokro, they looked very hopeless and Edwin laughed and said it was his first experience.

Then.............................................
