A step closer to the future…

For My All DEarest Friends,

I wish you all A HapPY aNd PRosperous 2006.

Let’s work harder and may our DReams come true.

Best WIsHEs,

ICaN

Don’t you know that the statue of Prajnaparamitha, the goddess of beauty, from the Singasari kingdom age, is really beautiful?

Actually, I have never been in Museum National. The right statement is, I never wanted to go there when I was still in Indonesia. Yes, you got it, I have less appreciation for the archeology. Do not blame me coz I think, most of boys or girls from my generation won’t go there either. Let’s ask a boy or a girl of 20, ask him or her whether he/she would like to go to Museum National? I will not that surprise if the answer is "no". Place like PH and etc etc. are of course more interesting.

But, today, together with Wangsa and Hans, we went together to de Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. There is now exhibition about Indonesia. What are shown are 300 top historical  archeological objects uit het museum national van Jakarta en ook Rijkmuseum voor volkenkunde in leiden. Wat we hebben gezien, zijn, meestal, beroemde grote beelden uit Singasari periode, (13 eeuw, of niet?). Ook van Sulawesi, Lombok, Bali, en natuurlijk, Sumatera. Veel goudvondsten.

I saw lot of  statues and ornaments there. A lot of buddha statues in all style, were displayed. You name it, sitting budha.. standing buddha, laughing budda.. all kinds, and they were originally, the ornaments from Borobudur temple. Also, Batari Durga was nice but bit scary.. lol.. yeah.. it’s not surprising if we do not like the goddess of the death..But, what amazed me so much, was, the statue of Prajna paramitha, the goddess of beauty from the Singasari period. It’s was so so so amazing, and very very beautiful one.  And I did not know before that the statue belongs to Rijkmusuem volkenkunde in Leiden. Anyway, I was just amazed.

In the way going home, i chatted with Wangsa. I told him, why there were lot of people visited the nieuwe kerk, just for seeing the old statues? I think, we will never see the same thing happens to the museum in Indonesia.. crowded from visitors… Maybe, that’s the long-time problem for the museum bestuurder in Indonesia. Wangsa told me, He is sure, if the museum national displays her collections the way the Nieuwe kerk displayed and decorated the exhibition, He’s sure, there will be more people coming to the museum.

I think, Wangsa is 100% correct. When we were inside the nieuwe kerk, everything was displayed nicely. The decoration, the interrior was great. Comparing to the Museum National, when we saw a clip about museum national, it looks dark, humid, so ooooooooooooooooooooldd… not a good interrior. that’s why less people are interested to visit.. plus no good advertisements about what happens or what will be the exhibitions in the Museum.

So, I think, if the museum national improves the way the displays the collections, and has good bang bang advertisements about all the exhibitions held by it, I am sure, there will be more visitors. And by the end, we can appreciate our own country much more while we are still there. So, we do not have to wait until we go abroad, just to be able to appreciate our beloved indonesia….

So, for all friends of mine in Netherlands, it’s really worth to go there to see the "Indonesia" exhibition, at de Nieuwe kerk, Amsterdam. Kijk op http://www.nieuwekerk.nl  and do have a good time there.

Have a nice day,

PhD studentship:

2 Ph.D. positions in Nanobiotechnology at University of Bielefeld, Department of Physics, Thin Films and Nanostructures Field(s): applied physics, biophysics, electromagnetism, nanotechnology

Application deadline: Dec 31 (Sat), 2005 Submitted: Nov 08, 2005
Contact: Prof. G. Reiss E-mail: herths2000-internet@yahoo.de
Address: Fakultät für Physik Universität Bielefeld Postfach 100131 D-33501 Bielefeld

Job description: The University of Bielefeld offers two positions in the area of bionanotechnology in the group of “Thin Films and Nanostructures”. Both positions are part of the SFB 613 “Physics of single molecule processes and molecular recognition in organic systems” with the topics “In-situ measurements and bond dynamics of the protein-DNA interactions” in cooperation with the group of genetics, and “Manipulation of biomolecules with magnetic beads and the integration of highly sensitive TMR sensors”, respectively. In both topics the experimental studies can be assisted by computer simulations.

A very good M.S. degree or diploma in experimental physics, biophysics, biology, biotechnology or similar subjects is required for both positions. Additionally, skills in solid-state physics, especially in the areas of magnetism, thin films, and lithography is desirable. For the first topic, some knowledge in the basics of biochemistry and genetics would be an advantage, for the second topic experience with nanoparticles and biomolecules.

We welcome applications from severely handicapped people.

We particularly welcome applications from women. Given equal suitability, qualifications and professional achievement, women will be given preference, unless particular circumstances pertaining to a male applicant predominate.
