Yesterday I met Anis in the stairs of my Hostel (International Student Hostel) on the way I went to Koti to by the book. Grid Computing Book. He asked me, "assalamu'alaikum, kaifa haluka". I answered "Wa'alaikum salam, Ana bi khoir, Alhamdulillah". I shaked his hand and hug him. and he told me "No, not like this. If u meet me (Yamani), you have to do like this". He told me how to greet some one in Yaman.
The first time you have to shake his hand and than hug him and stick my right chick to his right chick, and say "muah", and then the turn for left chick to left chick, of course with "muah" twice. After that he said, yes yo got it. OK again we try it. Oh, god, i tried it three times. Yes that is, he said. If you meet me you have to do like this, OK. I said OK.
He went to Mustafa's (Suriah) room, and then come back directly because Mustafa was not in his room, and he yelled at me, Hi Rusydi, do you have, Acrobat Reader, because I want to download it. Oh God what did he mean by download, later on I know that what he meant is copy it from my laptop.
I gave him what he wanted and he asked me about dictionary, he wanted English-English dictionary, I said yes I have one longman English-English dictionary. This dictionary name is Stardict, first you have to instal the program (the reader of the dictionary) and than you extract the dictionary and put it in the C:\\Program Files\Stardict\dic OK. He said, OK. If you want to download from internet you can do it, for example Webster, English-Arabic, Arabic Englis, etc. He said no, I want only English-English Dictionary. I told him, with this dictionary if you are reading ebook, than if there is a word that you don't know, you can point the cursor on the word and the meaning will come automatically. No, I don't want, he said. I already know about all of these words. All I want is to type the word and the meaning is coming. Yes you can do it. OK
Then he asked me about Indonesian song, I played one song in Indonesian Language, and then he said no no no, I want a song with video. OK, I choose from my collection. Actually my collection is only one TTM (Teman Tapi Mesra) from Ratu (Maia Ahmad and Mulan Kwok), why? because this song is very pupuler in Idonesia, even they used the word TTM for their daily language. Everyone who wanted to see about clips in Indonesia Language, I showed them this clips. What is teir comment?
"This is American". Yes directly I answered, my country is too much affected by US. See this clip, there is no difference with american's video clip. No, I don't want this clip. I know the reason because of the clothes they wore. It is not Islamic at all.
OK I'll show you another clips. As you now that recently I downloaded clip from You Tube. All abot Agnes Monica. I have 5 clips of Agnes Monica, and I chose one of them entitled Tanpa Kekasih. And again he said no no no. I don't want clips with kissing, hugging, etc. Because I want to watch it with my family. Oh my God, it is difficult to find. Almost every clip will be like that. Even original Indonesia music (dangdut) is even worst. Oh God, Indonesian music has no identity, they are too much like American.
My friend from Tajikistan they played/heard their own song, it is also happened with Vietnamese, Yamanese, Irani, Iraqi. So when I played American song : Britney Spears "Ops I did it again", one Irani said to the others, see Rusydi hasn't his own song, he is listening to American song.
Oh, God. How about our nationalism then.
I said to him, ok later I'll give you, the clip that you want later. I remembered about kid singer, sherina and relegious album like Opick with Istighfar, but I don't have it. OK I'll search for him later.
