Baru saja pembicaraan ini berakhir, dan mungkin menjadi akhir selamanya. Banyak hal yang kita bahas tapi satu yang kuingat, dia berkata, penggantiku akan datang disana, dan itu menjadi alasanku untuk mengikhlaskannya bahagia tanpaku.
Aku masih berdiri disini diatas karang, menatap bintang laut, enggan beranjak, karena kala nanti aku beranjak pergi, aku tak akan pernah kembali, dan aku tak akan terkalahkan oleh kenangan laut biru ini.
Menyerah tak berarti sama dengan melepas.

Biasan Dari Kaca Itu
Perlu waktu beberapa detik menatap kaca di ujung koridor itu hingga akhirnya baru kusadari kaca itu memantulkan wajah yang menangis.
Menangis bukan karena wajah yang menatapnya ini berkaca-kaca matanya. Yakin bukan karena itu.
"kau mungkin tak akan pernah memahami air mataku," desah kaca pada pemilik wajah bermata berkaca-kaca itu.
Yah,

Yah,
kau mungkin tak akan pernah memahami air mataku....
Lilin Kecil
Lilin kecil laksana diriku, cahayanya mungkin redup, namun itu cahayanya paling maksimal yang sanggup ia beri karena jika lebih dari itu justru akan membakar sekelilingnya, mungkin tak mampu menerangi seutuhnya, namun cahayanya hangat bagi setiap mereka yang mampu merasakannya.
Lilin kecil bukan tak mampu menerangi dan menghangatkanmu, ia mampu, hanya saja, kau mungkin menuntutnya untuk menjadi yang ia tak sanggup.

Denominasi Rupiah
Apa sih Denominasi Rupiah?
Jadi, nanti uang senilai Rp.20000 berarti Rp.20. Dengan denominasi, jumlah digit angka nolnya dikurangi tiga digit.

Jendela Kapal
“Maaf aku terlambat,” kata Luna berhenti dari lari-lari kecilnya kemudian duduk di atas karang kecil tempat dia menunggu malam setiap hari.
“Kenapa,”
“Dia mengajakku berbincang mengenai perasaan,”
“Hah?” tanya Senja
“Kau tahu bagaimana hatiku saat dia mengajakku berbincang mengenai perasaan?” kataku
“Aku ingat dulu samudera pernah berbincang padaku mengenai perasaan, dan itu membuatku tak mau menenggelamkan diri meski waktuku tiba untuk digantikan dengan rembulan,” jawab Senja
“Bagiku, kapalku tak ada arah…”
“Bagaimana bisa….”
“Setidaknya untuk saat ini. Sejak saat itu.”
“Kau selalu membingungkan,” desis Senja
“Kau tahu kan selama ini bagaimana aku mengemudikan kapal itu sendiri. Hampir sepanjang waktu. Kadang aku tak sanggup memegang kemudi hingga kapal kami terbawa angin. Kadang aku tak sanggup menjaga kapal kami berada dalam jalurnya hingga kapal kami berbelok arah, berputar-putar, terbawa arus. Kadang aku lelah harus hampir sepanjang waktu mengemudikan sendiri,”
“Ada dia, kan?” desak Senja
Luna hanya menjawabnya dengan tersenyum. Luna sadar bahwa memang ada lelaki itu selama ini bersamanya. Tapi sama saja karena Luna sendiri yang harus mengemudikan kapal itu.
“Kenapa diam? Aku bertanya,” tanya Senja lagi
“Kau tak tahu jawabannya padahal selama ini kita selalu berbincang mengenainya disini, menanti malam?” Aku balik bertanya padanya
“Lalu bagaimana perasaanmu sesungguhnya?”
“Malam itu, kapal kami kehilangan kendali, aku yang berada di kemudi tak sanggup memutar kemudi itu. Kau tahu apa penyebabnya? Jendela bagian bawah kapal yang berada tepat diatas genangan samudera terbuka. Aku sudah meminta dirinya untuk memastikan kaca jendela itu sudah tertutup setiap malam akan tiba, tapi kala itu kaca itu tidak tertutup.” Jelasku
“Lalu?”
“Kau tahu, angin laut, badai itu, yang malam itu menerjang samudera, menerobos ke dalam tentu saja dan itu membuat kapal kami kehilangan kendali.”
“Dan kau lantas menyalahkannya?”
“Jadi menurutmu dia tidak salah?”
“Itu kapal kalian, kau ikut andil disana, jangan lantas toh menyalahkannya,”
“Aku selalu menjaga kapalku Senja, kau tahu itu kan. Maksudku, aku selalu ingat apa saja kewajibanku disana. Apa tanggungjawabku disana aku tahu. Memastikan jendela tertutup saja apa susahnya?”
“Itu kelalaiannya saja, mengertilah,”
“Lebih tepat kesengajaannya,” belaku
Senja tersenyum dan berpikir lagi seandainya bertukar peran dengan Luna.
“Kau sudah berbincang dengannya mengenai kesengajaan itu?”
“Sudah,”
“Lalu?”
“Dia bilang dia tidak sengaja,” jawabku
Senja tersenyum. Lalu dia menggantikan warna dirinya dengan warna oranye yang indah sekali, membuat ujung awan menjadi kemerahan. Dan posisinya pun semakin menurun.
“Waktu kita tak banyak lagi,” kataku sedih
“Masih beberapa. Yah aku tahu bagaimana rasanya merasa solah sendiri dalam menjaga sesuatu seperti dirimu yang menjaga kapal kalian misalnya. Kau pasti cinta kapalmu. Dan dalam cinta itu ada namanya pengorbanan. Beberapa waktu lalu aku sudah mengajakmu berbincang mengenai pengorbanan dank au pasti ingat itu. Satu kata, ikhlas, bawa itu dan kau akan selamat sampai tujuanmu.”
“Benar mungkin aku belum ikhlas,”
“Kapal kalian terkena badai, pasti kau juga tahu kalau badai hanya satu dari sekian banyak risiko yang kau tahu akan kalian alami dalam perjalanan, kan? Jangan badai membuat kapal kalian berhenti. Jangan berbalik arah untuk kembali. Jangan biarkan kapal kalian tenggelam. Kau ingin ke pulau itu kan? Kesanalah apapun yang terjadi, selama kau bersamanya kalian pasti bisa.”
Senja menghitam….
“Aku kadang lelah,”
“Kau lelah karena tak pernah berbincang padanya mengenai kebersamaan. Coba kau biarkan dia pegang kemudi hampir sepanjang waktu, dan dia akan lebih menghargai perjalanan kalian. Aku harus pergi, malam akan memanggil rembulan sebentar lagi. Besok di waktu dan tempat yang sama, ya.” Senja mengerling
“Kau dan oranye kemerahanmu selalu membuatku tenang… Terimakasih,”
“Kembali ke kapalmu, dia menunggumu, kan?”
Luna tertawa kecil dan melambai, beteriak, “Sampai besok….” Tanpa Luna tahu apakah Senja bisa hadir lagi esok.
“Kenapa,”
“Dia mengajakku berbincang mengenai perasaan,”
“Hah?” tanya Senja
“Kau tahu bagaimana hatiku saat dia mengajakku berbincang mengenai perasaan?” kataku
“Aku ingat dulu samudera pernah berbincang padaku mengenai perasaan, dan itu membuatku tak mau menenggelamkan diri meski waktuku tiba untuk digantikan dengan rembulan,” jawab Senja

For Mig33, a Move to Asia — and Virtual Goods — Is Paying Off
By Om Malik May. 11, 2010, 5:00pm PDT
Mig33, a mobile social service with 34 million members, in October of last year decided to shift its center of gravity to where its customers were: Asia. It was a high-risk move for the company, which has raised $13.5 million in funding from Accel Partners, Redpoint Ventures and DCM. But so far, it seems to be paying off.
The company is on track to break even by the second half of 2010 and be profitable by end of the year, CEO and founder Steven Goh tells us. What changed? “[W]e switched to social games and virtual content and that just took off,” said Goh, a strategy shift that coincided with Mig33′s move to Singapore. Until then, the company made its money selling cheap voice minutes.
Like many other VoIP startups, however, it realized that the only way to succeed was to match the size and reach of Skype. After all, more end users means higher outbound calling and voice dollars. But that’s easier said than done. In the meantime, Goh and his team started to notice a peculiar behavior in their community: messaging, or rather a whole lot of it.
Such behavior is usually associated with a social network such as Twitter. Regardless, the social activities on its rudimentary mobile social network prompted Mig33 to start experimenting with virtual gifts in July 2009.
By January 2010, about 1.5 million virtual gifts a month were being exchanged. By April, it was over 3 million gifts a month. Currently some 150,000 virtual gifts are being exchanged over its network every day. This growth is boosting revenues. Goh told us that in some countries only 3-5 percent of its customers are paying for virtual goods but in others that figure is closer to 12 percent. Most are spending the equivalent of a dollar a month, all of which are beginning to add up, leaving Goh fairly confident that the company will be profitable before the year is over.
Mig33 is one of the many companies that live in the often overlooked world of feature phones popular in fast-growing teleconomies such as India and Indonesia. These cheap devices are no superphones, but they still offer plenty of opportunities. Mig33 has focused on that segment of the market.
Up next is the release of a social networking desktop app written using Ajax, slated for this month. The app is meant to provide an experience quite similar to QQ, a popular Chinese social service, and is aimed at cashing in on the growing popularity of netbooks in emerging economies, according to Goh.
When I asked him what lesson he’s learned from all of this, he grinned and said that listening to your customers and being close to them is the answer to everything. Somehow, few of us are able to grok something so basic.

Remember that kicking isn’t about abusing innocent users. Your account may be suspended if misuse this feature.
However many users do create their own chatrooms and play kicking games, where they compete to see who can kick each other the fastest. Next time you’re in a chat room, ask other users about these kicking games.
Kicks cost AUD$0.03 to initiate, and it’s easy to Buy credits. Voting on a kick is free.

Play games as you chat with new friends. Search for the Werewolf, Hunt Vampires, flip Heads or Tails, do the Trivia challenge and much more. And there's a popular "kicking" game that you may discover too.
5. Send a Gift
Mobile is not just texting. You can also send hugs, flowers and ice creams to your friends that you like, as you're chatting away. These gifts are then shown on their profile, so everyone can see them too.
6. Grow Your MigLevels
miglevels are shown in your profile and it shows your popularity. The more you're a part of the mig33 community, the higher your level. People view each others' profiles often and it's a lot of fun. Different miglevels give you special migpowers too...

8. Buzz
If you want to chat to a friend but can’t find them, send a Buzz.
The Buzz message is delivered via SMS, and tells your friend you would like them login to mig33. Simple to use, fun and easy to Buy credits.
In your Friends List, select your friend and then select Buzz. We’ll display how much each SMS message costs (this varies depending on the location of the recipient), before we send the Buzz.
To manage the Buzz messages that you receive, you can edit your Buzz settings, and update the check box.
9. Set Lookout
A Lookout is a great way to be notified when your friend is next online in mig33.
The next time they login, we’ll notify you via SMS. Simple to use, fun and easy to Buy credits.
In your Friends List, select your friend and then Lookout. We’ll show you how much each SMS notification costs (this varies depending on your location), before your Lookout is created.
10. Kicking
In mig33 chatrooms, there is a Kick function. Kicking is a good way to manage bad chatroom behaviour, by removing a user from the chatroom.
The kicker initiates the vote, and then the other users vote yes or no. In some user-created chat rooms, the Administrators and Moderators may be able to Kick with no voting.
To use kicking when in a chatroom, select the username you wish to kick from the list of Participants, and then select Kick. When on the mobile, select Kick from the Menu, and then select the username you wish to kick.
Remember that kicking isn’t about abusing innocent users. Your account may be suspended if misuse this feature.
However many users do create their own chatrooms and play kicking games, where they compete to see who can kick each other the fastest. Next time you’re in a chat room, ask other users about these kicking games.
Kicks cost AUD$0.03 to initiate, and it’s easy to Buy credits. Voting on a kick is free.
