Delightful Meeting In Old Age



Delightful Meeting In Old Age


“As I hear your voice then through the telephone, I picture you as Muliani, not Mrs. Muliani, not as Dr. Muliani, but Muliani with a lovely angel’s voice, so feminine, so calm, so delightful to the ear.


I’m lucky you can’t see me as I look like a scarecrow.”


That was his introductory speech through the telephone.


He hasn’t to go to the clinic. He was allowed, to have his psychological consult by telephone in one of Jakarta’s  hospital, due to his high age and difficulty in transportation.


And musing, he would afterwards call her at the Hospital and tell: “I just wanted to say Hello. Charge me this as your consultation  fee without an appointment. Ha. Ha.”

Why I Keep Silent



Why I Keep Silent

I certainly am very grateful reading, seeing, hearing someone’s great post, picture, song, thought, though I keep silent. I would thank him, I could kiss her in gratitude, were I invisible as angels and fairies are.


Otherwise would I allude to his/her beautiful post without revealing their identity.


I am averse to praising into someone’s face, which is like “cari muka” as Indonesians say, a "licker", or to solicit a praise to myself. Yet, would I praise someone with a very poor performance to encourage him or her to do better.


What’s the honor praising, quoting a great, famous name? It takes courage to openly not agree, or not like him, her. What, were it God?

Beauty That’s Not In A Concert Hall





Beauty That’s Not In A Concert Hall

Here she is. 


 

The singing teacher rejected her to join her class and now she’s 81, singing, her lines so lovely without singing lessons, loudspeakers, just recorded with my I Pad. Unless, … you certainly must be deaf. Ha. Ha.
