Finally Barito's merchants surrendered and the bulldozers could reach the kiosks and destroyed them.

Something strange happened at the Internet Shop on Friday morning 18 January 2008. The Internet Shop happened to also have some public telephone booths inside, so whenever someone talked rather loudly inside one of the telephone booths, it could be heard clearly. And that morning, a woman was talking to someone that sounds like complaining something, about someone leaving her with no responsibility.

Then the Internet connection was no longer available, and someone looks like an officer of an official body wearing batik shirt came in and sit on my left.

These strange things seem like started earlier in the morning. A few hours earlier at home, around half past six in the morning just after my brother sent an SMS message about reminding me not to go through Barito Street because there could be a demonstration that could turn to riot, someone riding a motorcycle shouted in front of the house: "Sorry.......sorry......".  Followed by a bread peddler with the recorded voice in an IC on his cart like shouting the word "president.....president......... ". I thought maybe because Barito Street was nearby the RSPP hospital where former Indonesian second president has been treated since early January.

What happened at Barito street was a relocation plan toward some kiosks selling flowers, fishes, birds and some other small pets, like rabbits. They have been selling on the sidewalk of Barito Street since around two decades ago, but now the municipal government wanted to return the location to become city park. They should move to another place at Radio Dalam market, provided by the government, but so far they rejected the plan.

So what could be the connection with myself, I have no idea.

Of course I should be better think positively about this matter. This could be the sign of God that I should move my self from becoming the bait that trigger disaster. Because that location at Barito was famous for selling fishes, people who own aquariums in their houses liked to shop live fishes and other accessories for their aquariums there. And fishes usually related with the word "bait", like related with my worry about my being the "bait that trigger disaster".

So this Barito affair could be the sign that I should move from being the bait for disaster, to become someone spending the rest of my life in Solomon path of destiny with no political part. May God help me with this, Amen.

Demonstrators clashed with the police during the demonstration on 19 January 2008 to demand a trial for the former president Soeharto. It was one day after the demonstration of Barito's merchants, whereas Barito Street is close to the RSPP hospital where former president Soeharto was being treated.

Former Indonesian second president Soeharto has been having medical treatment since 4 January 2008 for his old age sickness. Actually since his resignation in 1998, he has been getting in and out of the hospital almost every year, but this year he has been in more critical condition. Nevertheless the recent news mentioned that his condition has getting better now after the team of presidential doctors strive hard to save his life.
