20120519_to lie or not to lie

A friend of mine asked me to tell a lie. Her company will put my name as someone involved in their beverage processing development, I bet they will put my name in their company product profile. 
I've told her not to misuse my name and my status here as a foreigner.
Rather than stop doing it, her company asked the copy of my passport and degree's certificate.



Awalnya sih marah, apa-apaan lu, kenal ga, ketemu aja ga pernah, ko segitu seenak jidat lu aja pake nama gua. semudah itu kah buat lu untuk berbohong? memanfaatkan orang lain untuk kepentingan diri lu sendiri. moral lu dimana? seribu topan badai!!! @#$%^&*!%$#@!


tapi berasa, emosi nih emosi... self control.. the main problem is they are lying. I don't need to be angry because they misuse me. langsung donk cepet2 whatsapp... kesimpulannya: u do ur part, but to judge is not ours. (makanya harus punya komunitas nih, supaya ada yang saling akuntabilitas)


In the evening, after had a meeting my friend came back to me still asking the same thing.
A friend: Lisa, still need your help.
A friend: The one and only bad thing for you is you need to lie
Lisa: what do you want me to do?
A friend: We need your degree certificate (ijasah S1) and your passport
A friend: Will affect you nothing
A friend: It's not bad for you
A friend: Good for our company
Lisa: I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help you. The principle is: it's not a correct thing to tell a lie, it's a sin. A sin is a sin, every sin has its consequence.
Lisa: I don't lie. God doesn't permit me to tell a lie. This is my base line.



God, maybe it IS not easy. I have never been pushed like that in my job. But I’m glad that I set my mind to be simple and straight. I believe that there’s always a time to do the right thing, time to stand up for the truth.

God, I pray that there will be more people who have courage to say and do what is right. Instead of being selfish, I pray that we will have courage to sacrifice “what is seems to be good for us”.

kepitingku.. 螃螃 & 蟹蟹

Ni hao, namaku PangPang, capitku yg kiri sangat besar..
Ni hao, namaku XieXie, capit kananku lebih besar, karena aku perempuan..


Senang berkenalan dengan kamu, Xie2..
Renshi ni wo ye hen gaoxing, Pang2..


Beberapa jam kemudian, Xie2 memasuki tahap sekarat karena tertimpa bebatuan selama perjalanan pulang..
Sedangkan Pang2 selalu berusaha keluar dari kotak plastik tempat penampungan sementaranya..


Keesokan paginya, tuan pemilik mengangkat Pang2 dan membiarkan Pang2 berjalan di tangannya. Sayangnya, Pang2 bukan cicak yang bisa menempel dimana saja, Pang2 terjatuh dan seketika itu juga ia kejang2 dan menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya.


Tak lama kemudian, tangan Xie2 terkilir dan putus (lagi2 ulah tuan yang tak berhati2 ini..) beberapa detik kemudian, Xie2 juga menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya..


Walaupun perkenalan kita singkat, wo haishi hen gaoxing renshi ni..
