Dear "e" You missed some exciting part of your life...manggaleh kaki limo. Why such a "honor" became untold in your story? I started my life in the big city selling stuffs by the road. Being a street vendor had not to disqualify my male dignity and university. In fact, that was the most precious moments and pride. They were stories of accomplishment I could share with my children...since I could survive and skip the street...and that's to me honor.
I left Padang not by ship. My mom started to shed her tears as I stepped my first leg on NPM jumbo in 1993 carrying a khaki colored backpack where clothes and papers kept as the only weapon for the battle. I could feel much grief in her chest seeing off her only son to the wildest jungle of the world, Zakarta. Suddenly I took an oath eversince that I had to succeed or I sucked stone. Returning back home was haram before success....as I realized only Rp 9.000 on my pocket she gave me. I did not ask for more. I am a man who will fight for your honor I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of Gonna live forever Knowing together and we did it all for the glory of love ... and that's the Glory of Love by Peter Cetera I do not think I succeed now. But I don't have to suck stones. Note: I am not feeling secure under my mother's armpit but ....my wives. elzo st baribeh ----- Original Message ----- From: "e" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "rantaunet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 16:57 Subject: [RantauNet.Com] Only with Honor > Only with Honor > > This new age gave birth to a new breed of Minangkabau males who are > developing somewhat different characteristics from the older generations. > Most of them still leave their hometown, but most of them become > weak-spirited.
