The days go on, without feeling (us) crashing in numbers of years that had never before been imagined. When the journey has been (felt) long, it helps us to recall the origin, where we come from.
Tengkuputeh if angry red-faced that's the meaning in Indonesian, that's the singing of the Prodi I Finance children running around because the domino table rock Abu kicks, it all woke Abu from a delicious nap, they ran as it stuck out the tongue mocking and laughing with nosy. Lha, at that time Abu was 19 years old
We graduated to STAN when the conflict in Aceh was at its peak, Military emergency in Aceh Province. The war in Aceh made us-we had the opportunity to become civil servants in the Ministry of Finance, something we should never forget.
Aceh, was a privileged area of the time, one of its privileges was its long history. From the time of the Sultanate of Samudera Pasai dipenghujung century XI until the Sultanate of Aceh melting in the early twentieth century, the northern region of Sumatra is the biggest challenger for European imperialists who came to Southeast Asia. Therefore, every White nation is more often seen as an adversary, rarely as a friend.
Tengkuputeh is a nickname, as well as a mockery for Snouck Hurgronyoe, an orientalist sent by the Dutch Colonial Government to research at once spy on the nature, and culture of the Acehnese people. Particularly on Aceh he published several works that became references on the way the Dutch extinguished the Acehnese resistance, namely: Atjeh in the Colonialist Eye and Advice Snouck Hurgronye During His Personnel To Government of the Dutch East Indies 1889-1936.
So the nickname "tengkuputeh" in the cultural treasures in Aceh is not a praise, but only mockery. Tengku which in Malay is termed "noble" and in the Acehnese language as "knowledgeable person" becomes flawed because it added the word "puteh" which means white. An anomaly, a parody. No wonder the site contains scorn.
February 15, 2018, this site will be 10 years old. Beginning with Prolog posts, up to this day being a decade, not an age that is too long for the size of a human child but in a site's dose can be said long enough. there are many notes and strokes already inscribed here.
Here is the field of learning as well as the friendship of Abu to the whole world, whether written here useful or not, we returned to the readers who have been willing to stop by this page. A decade is not the age to be worth, not the age to feel wise. It is age for introspection and keeps on improving.
Yes, there may be no harm in congratulating the achievement of this 10th age, when maybe no one remembers. Congratulations for a decade, hopefully the years ahead will be better, bringing something more useful, not just casually, just like this post.
