I was interested in Electrical engineering and radio communication since I was 8th. But in 1950 our government prohibited ham radioactivities. Every ham radio was not allowed to operate, but there were some of them who did their activities in a clandestine way. For I was just too young at that time, it tends to reason that I did not took a dared in breaking the law like others did. I was so obsessed in longing to become a ham but there was no way. All of a sudden in the late early 1965, every body who is interested in ham radio became active. At that time spirits of anti communism atmosphere triggered those phenomenon. And at last in mid 1967 the Government reallowed ham radioactivities. Since then I became active as Ham radio as well as a ham club member. By that I got many friends all around the world. Thanks to our Government for allowing us doing ham activities, free from being affraid and handcuffed feeling.

In early 1977, together with my spouse we joined the Marriage Encounter Movement that was brought here via a long journey that was: From Spain to Latin America to USA to Belgium then to Indonesia. We are really very impressed by the Marriage Encounter methods. Which has trained and keep us reminded to perform a proper way of communication with each other. Not in the sense of a stiff method we used in the way of just throwing only logical things and no way as a human being of giving my heart to my partner whom I communicate with. But M.E trained us accordingly to what our Almighty Lord has Planned for our self and our marriage life. And is mainly based on self- encountered and love. It's wonderful almost miraculous because with that I got a remarkable enhancement in my communication ability, more effective and so is my relation with others. Feel more relax and being more accepted by others and being able to accept others the way they are. I feel so happy realizing that I mostly came across in an encountered situation with my partner whom I communicate with. These rarely happened before I knew M.E. Even though at that time I was a communication manager an expert in communication. But I must admitted embbarrassly that obviously I did not know any thing about real transactional communication techniques among human beings. Now I am more capable in implementing the well-known management theorem, the win win solution. Previously, it was almost impossible. And what happened was, almost like, I lose you win or the other way round, not feeling I am OK your OK. But mind you, don't get mixed up it with marriage counselling, M.E. is not intended for that.

In these spare old days, I keep me busy with my hobbies. Spending times for Electronics craftsmanship, Ham radio, computer and edit computer midi's manually with a notation editor. Waooo!! Believe it or not. I am not a musician, neither do I master a single musical instrument. I just got my musical knowledge by cut and trial some midi editor programs. I was so impressed when for the first time I heard my midi edited song. I wander how genius the music composers are, and how could they composed songs, with minim technological aid, just by playing musical instrument and put it written in a paper into song notation. Wonderful and I really must put my hat of for them. So, even I use a computer, me myself will be far from being able to compose a song. What I do is just insert the ready-made tunes into my computer with minor arrangement and there you are! Simple as it is said.

This site was made to expressed my grateful and respectful feelings: To The World Wide Marriage Encounter Movement, which has change my life and lead me into a new world, a world full with promising hopes, appretiations ,self acceptance/awareness appropriates with what God has planned for me. To our Government, so that my obsession in becoming a Ham could be fulfilled. And to all music composers who had made our life on earth colorful. "Life without music is like a garden without flowers" sounds a saying.

The purpose of this site is intended to let other peoples having the opportunities in experiencing the wonderful life that our Lord has planned for all of us. and at last Alleluia or (Allahu Akbar) like the Christian and the Moslems used to praise God. Two different sounded statement but similar in meaning.

Thank You
