house or home?
i was making a plan presentation for Nuansa Asri Cipadu (real estate) when i ask yousuf a question: what is a house? he answered: house is different with home. house is more related to physical condition (built structure), but home is a matter of heart or feeling.well i guess he's right. house is only a place where you live in. it is the structure. but home, is a place that you related with. it's a place of all memories, feeling, experience, all that kind of stuff. a man can find a house easily (oh yeah like it is cheap!), but there's only one home, and it can't be replaced.
iwan fals, the famous rebellion singer of indonesia (he's already make peace with his own, that's why his songs lately is all about love, not people's struggler anymore), has a good song about home. it called "ujung aspal pondok gede". the song is about a home, a place when you were kid and playing with your friends, the field, the green, the freshness of a home, but one by one your friends leave you to find a better life in the city, and government want to bring down your village to build a factory. oh yes i think it is a sad song about home.

because home is all about heart, maybe that's why people of jatirejo village in sidoarjo does'nt want to be relocated because of the hot mud (hey lapindo brantas inc. ! be responsible for what you did!). they were grown up in that village, married, and have kids in the village also. it's not that easy to tell a guy about his home: hey, move from this village, we will drown it down.
and also that's why lebanon people are supporting hezbollah fighter againts israel, and they are proud with hezbollah. come on, do you agree with a country who bombing your home?
and maybe that's also why i want to comeback to semarang (beside to company my mom). because for me, jakarta will never be a home.
