What's the last thing you usually do or think about before you fall asleep?
The last thing I usually do before falling asleep is watching TV. Actually I do not like watching TV. Television for me is a lullaby. This device is a soothing song sung to me before I go to sleep. I always using the timer to turn it off at a certain time. Usually it takes less than 45 minutes for the tv to sing the lullaby. And then I fall asleep. The TV turn off by itself.
What TV show(s) will you be watching this season? Why?
Raya Maryadi adalah jurnalis itu. la menjadi bagian dari kehidupan yang tanpa henti, tanpa koma itu. la wartakan kejadian-kejadian tanpa pretensi, tanpa tendensi, semua demi dedikasi dan curiosity dalam menguak ketertutupan peristiwa-peristiwa kriminal, penindasan, kebobrokan, dari selubung misteri yang sulit terjamah. Kejahatan narkoba yang terorganisasi, pembunuhan yang terencana, perkosaan yang kontroversial, hingga isu perempuan pekerja, adalah dunia, panggung dan liputan Raya sebagai seorang jurnalis. Idealisme dan lepas dari bayang-bayang sebagai anak mantan seorang jurnalis menjadi keinginan Raya. Raya ingin total mejadi bagian dari setiap perubahan di dunia tanpa jeda tersebut.
Namun di balik kerja keras tanpa lelah tersebut, Raya ternyata harus "lelah" menghadapi pilihan cinta. Cinta dari dua orang jurnalis yang sama-sama punya reputasi jempolan. Dua orang jurnalis dengan latar masalah berbeda. Yang satu punya dendam terbadap penyalahgunaan narkoba, karena sang adik jadi korban. Dan satu lagi, seorang jurnalis yang ragu dengan jalan perkawinannya. Milik siapakah cinta Raya? (via SinemArt)

What's your motto?
I do not have any personal motto. This is short, simple and practical. Hey, I've got my motto...
How many languages can you speak? Which languages can you read or understand?
I am able to speak in three different languages. The first is offcourse my mother tongue, Javanese language. This is my main language before I entered elementary school. My daily life used to speak Javanese. The second language is Indonesian language or Bahasa Indonesia. This is official language of my country. Educational institutions and business communication use Bahasa Indonesia. I can read and speak both language without any difficulties. Most of Indonesian people are able to speak at least two languages: traditional language and national language. Most of us are bilingual.
The third language is what I use to convey this message now. Yes, it is English. I do not know wheter I am proficient in this language or not. But, at least I am able to watch English movie without any sub-titles and I can read English news and novel.
If you could watch any movie on the big screen right at this moment, what would it be?
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier fantasy book The Hobbit and soon developed into a much larger story. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy comprises three live action fantasy adventure films, directed by Peter Jackson and released by New Line Cinema, based upon the fantasy book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.
* The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).
* The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002).
* The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).
I have the complete set of the trilogy (DVD) and I am dreaming of watching the films on the big screen right at this moment. It will be fantastic to see the action of Gandalf, the strong Aragorn, the beauty of Arwen and the tough Frodo and Sam. I love it very much. Do you want to join me to watch the movies?
What are your personal memories of September 11th?
That morning, 19 terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. Two planes (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (One and Two). Both towers collapsed within two hours. The pilot of the third team crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. As well as the 19 hijackers, a confirmed 2,973 people died and another 24 remain missing as a result of these attacks.
The September 11 attacks were described by the United Nations Security Council as "horrifying terrorist attacks". But, I am living in Indonesia, far far away from US. I watched all this incidents on CNN. Yes, that's all.
How many places have you lived in your life?
Three cities I have lived in are Purbalingga, Yogyakarta and Jakarta. Purbalingga is a little town in Central Java where I was born. I took my school in the town from elementary school to senior high school. Yogyakarta is the second place I lived in for six years. And, now I am living in Jakarta. But, I think I will leave the city in the near future. I have a big plan. But, do not ask me about the secret plan. I will not tell you anything. Top secret...
If you could only save one thing in a house fire (thing, not person), what would it be and why?
Submitted by donnunn.
The only thing I will save is my computer. Yes, my computer. Why? Because all important data are resided at my computer. This is my life, my work, my entertainment. I cannot think of my life without my computer. You can take all my things but my computer.
