Date: Sat, 21 July 2007 9:34 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Reminder About Taufik Savalas' Happy Family
When I wrote my previous letter of "A Wish of Releasing Obstacles for Paris' and Jenna's Matches" on 10 July 2007, there was a worry in my mind that it could be interpreted as my going to quit from my consent to move out of this world. Because the paragraph of "......I wish you many happy moments with your boy friend, and when it comes the time for you to get married, I wish you a happy marriage, happily ever after.” I also apologize for any inconvenience caused by my appearing in this world. ...." could be sound like I would no longer hold on to my consent to treat Paris as my bridge to heaven. Then came the news of Taufik Savalas death on the next day, 11 July 2007, and in many coverage of the news I realized that Taufik had two little children. It reminds me with the moment when I began to write to Lady Diana in 1995, whereas at that moment my brother Faisal also has two little children, somewhat at the same age of Taufik's little children now. At that moment one of the reason I wrote to Lady Di was because her name sounds like "die". And if something bad happened to my brother that caused danger to his life, I would prefer to be the one who should die because he still has a wife and two little children to take care of, while I have nobody to take care of. His funeral at Serang was like to strengthen the reminder on me, since my brother's wife also lived in Serang for many years before she married my brother. The recent appearance of New Zealand Prime Minister in Jakarta, whose name is Helen Clark, with her first name sounds like rather similar to the name of my brother's wife Lena, also becomes like to strengthen the reminder for me that I should not quit from my consent to move to the eternity. Her last name Clark is like reminding me with the name of Clark Kent, the figure in the story of Superman. In 1994, the famous actor who played the role of Superman in several sequels, Christopher Reeves, fell from the horse and caused him to use wheel chair for many years before he finally died in 2004. An accident that I hope would never happen again to anyone.

Some kind of "chain reaction" seems like happening to the car accident related to the death of Nike Ardilla in 1995 that was followed by a car accident related to the death of Lady Diana in 1997. What if the car accident of Taufik Savalas also serves as a reminder from God that a similar "chain reaction" would happen again? First of all, of course I hope it will never turn to become some kind of "chain reaction" of deadly car accident. Nevertheless, if such "chain reaction" of deadly car accident had been a fix destiny that no one could ever change, than I will take it as my own destiny, as a part of my consent to move out to the eternity. So now what I have to do is to place my self in the male international celebrity position.
Date: Sat, 21 July 2007 10:45 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Getting Out of "Friday the 13th" Syndrome from Ayrton Senna's Accident
A few days before the car accident of Taufik Savalas in 11 July 2007 happened, on 7 July 2007 I prepared some photos of Ayrton Senna, one of the legendary Formula 1 racers. Because I feel like going to somewhat similar line of destiny today after the news about Mr. Carlos Slim Helu becoming the richest man in the world appeared in the media. In 1978 to 1979 when I worked at an advertising company in Jakarta called Circle Five, among the major clients was Marlboro cigarette. Although most of the advertising materials of Marlboro cowboys came from abroad, I often worked with my friends the adjustment for the size of the ad to be placed in the media. Since then I became "brand fanatic" to Marlboro. Such "brand fanatism" became stronger after the successful moments of Marlboro as the sponsor of the winning team in Formula 1 race, with the famous Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna. He became a legend after winning three world championship in Formula 1, in 1988, 1990, and 1991, driving McLaren-Honda. Senna was renowned for his qualifying skill, which produced a then record 65 pole positions in 162 races (0.401 poles/race), and for his rain driving. Senna also won the Monaco Grand Prix six times, of which five consecutively between 1989 and 1993, a record which stands today.( source: wikipedia.org ) But then came the moment he had to lose the championship. In 1992, Nigel Mansell became the new champion in Formula 1, on Williams-Renault. The interesting thing was that his last name Mansell like containing some part of my name Firman. As if it should require some part of my self to beat my "brand fanatic" to Marlboro and the racer Ayrton Senna. And unfortunately his lost in 1992 was followed by disaster. Ayrton Senna died following an accident while he was leading in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola in Italy. It made me feel like being in some kind of "Friday the 13th" TV series, whereas in almost every episode there were always those who become successful after making a deal with the devil, but then followed by death. Of course it made me feel uncomfortable to be in such a position. Recently the appearance of Mr. Carlos Slim Helu becomes like a second chance for me to get out of the "Friday the 13th" syndrome. Ayrton Senna was a Latin man, from Brazil, his name contains no part of my name. While Nigel Mansell's name contains a part of my name Firman. Mr. Carlos Slim Helu is also a Latin man, from Mexico, his name contains no part of my name. While your first name Bill, that comes from William, is like containing a part of my name A.M. So if this became a second chance for me to get out of "Friday the 13th" syndrome, I wish God will keep Mr. Carlos Slim Helu alive long enough, not to die too soon like the late Ayrton Senna.
