Friday, 23 February 2007 I sent an e-mail to a company in Jakarta offering the painting related to elected UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon. A week later there was an announcement of Mr. Ban Ki Moon appointed Mr. Ibrahim Gambari for the position of special adviser on the International Compact for Iraq and other political issues. His last name "Gambari" is like an Indonesian word "gambar" which has the meaning of "picture" or "drawing", something that has a close meaning to painting.

16 February 2007, as usual I visited a mosque for the Friday afternoon mass praying, held every Friday. On that day I was praying at the Masjid Raya Cinere behind the police station Polsek Limo Cinere. By the time I was approaching the mosque, the drizzle of rain began to fall and gradually became heavier when I have been inside. An hour later after the praying session over, the rain was still falling heavily. I and other visitors had to wait, especially the visitors who were walking or riding motorcycles. It took more than another hour for the rain to begin to abate, yet still would cause wet shirt for me to start to go because I was riding a bicycle. Therefore, I still have to wait for several minutes, and meanwhile my stomach began to get hungry.
Right in front of the mosque, across the street there was a food stall selling gado-gado and karedok,
some kind of salad with peanut sauce. The difference between gado-gadio and karedok is that in gado-gado most of the vegetables, consisting of spinach,
legume, cabbage, cucumber, bean sprout, have been boiled, except for the cucumber. While in karedok all of the vegetables are raw, no spinach, and with greenbean,
cut into small pieces.
On the other part, to the left of the mosque, there were some other food stalls, among which was selling Mie Bakso, noodle and meat balls
served with plenty of hot broth. During the rainy day like that of course I preferred to choose eating such hot noodle with meat ball.
A few minutes later after taking such a hot meal, and the rain stopped, I took the bicycle and went to
the internet shop.
In the evening on TV there was the news of NATO Supreme Allied Commander general John Craddock
giving a comment about "Russia has nothing to fear from a planned U.S anti-missile system in central Europe". His last name Craddock
sounds rather similar to the karedok that I passed that afternoon due to my preferring to take hot noodle and meat ball.

February 21, 2007, in the morning I uploaded my letter of "Paintings Related to the Pope and Angela Merkel".
A few hours later in the afternoon when I was at home again, there was the news on TV about Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi resigned from his position.
Nevertheless it was only for a while, because a week later he was re-confirmed as prime minister on Friday when he won a second and final
confidence vote in parliament, ending a political crisis and ensuring there will be no snap election.
