MEETING PEOPLE in DREAM and REALITY

I ever dreamt of meeting George W. Bush, very close and somehow talking with him. Hmm... Thanks to me I didn’t throw any shoes at him.

Once, I dreamt I was on the top of the highest mountain and I could see the view of sky. It was a bright early morning day, misty, and cold. The peak was flat and I saw the east was so covered by white mist and so bright. From the peak I could see the sky and there were many planes flying by, the surveillance plane looked so big and many lights on the under part of the plane, I also saw UFO plane and there was a couple coming out from it. I also thought or told to see a high mountain, but I did not, it was already the highest peak, only some high grounds, blue and misty, but the peak I was standing was flat.

I have a collection of dream meeting with Presidents, I’ve met Soharto several times, I helped him walking, I had handshakes, I talked, he gave me smiles, Habibie – I don’t remember, Gus Dur – I got handshakes, Megawati – I don’t remember, SBY – this was when I was in Germany, SBY was the driver of my car, and now George W. Bush. I’ve met one Prince in my dream; that is William, for several times he was appeared as someone who was close and loved me, I got a kiss on the cheek from him.

I also have a collection of dream about mountain too; I’ve been several times on the top of the mountain, ever been flying above a mountain with a magic carpet, ever several times could not reached up the mountain, ever successful reached the peak, ever several times falling from the mountain, ever so many times seeing high mountain, ever once saw volcanic mountains erupting and was running away to safe my life from it, and ever once climbed up the mountain riding a black horse guided by the ambassador and when I finally reached the peak I found ravine. Now I think I also ever dreamt of hugging a mountain.

In real life, I’ve met quite numbers of important people of this country. I’ve met many ministers of Habibie’s government; I remember meeting the controversial Andi Ghalib, Theo L Sambuaga, and some other ministers I don’t remember anymore, I’ve met Tuty Alawiyah as Minister of Women Affairs, and I’ve met Habibie himself. I’ve met several foreign ambassadors; I was congratulated by the Papua New Guinea Ambassador on my first and successful bilingual ceremony; I made the Australian Ambassador got lost in one of his business visit in East Kalimantan; and I met South Korea and Japan Ambassadors, Malaysia’s Diplomats, and I accompanied the Austrian Ambassador and got quite close with him for a year. I met the Kapolri of Megawati’s government – Bimantoro, and talked with him as the interpreter for the Austrian Ambassador. Here I also met IT expert Roy Suryo. I also met kind of celebrity as well…I got a handshake from Titik Puspa and my most unforgettable handshake was with Andi Malaranggeng – his hand was as soft as a young-girl-never-work hand.

But what made me tremendously happy is, of course, meeting my beautiful friends.

So, how about you? Have you met somebody?
