My Indonesia

Let ya know, it's 1.40 am when i start typing my blog... i do complain about waking up in the mid night during weekdays, but i dun mind if it's on weekend because i found that mid night time is an inspirational time for me to express things out from my mind... =D


Okay... thinking which part of my thoughts i'm going to tell here... hmm... maybe about this country... i would like to call it "My Indonesia, Things I love and hate about this country"...
At the beginning of my study in Melbourne before, people asked about my nationality (of course, because i'm an international student)... i asked them to take a guess.. i listed out their answers: Chinese/ Singaporean/ Malaysian/ Taiwanese... I dunno how those answer came... maybe because of my look (i dun think i look that oriental), my english accent (i can't really remember how's my english accent before, some said it's like singlish - though i never felt talking in that way), or maybe because i speak chinese as well... actually, i dun really care about that, i just told them that i'm Indonesian (not really proud of saying that)...
Start from things I love about Indo then... firstly... Indo is my hometown, no doubt for that... Families and friends are here... ^^ hmm, this multi-cultural country has a lot of good food... Yes yes yes... I love eating without being scared of gaining weight... lalala... then, of course, there are many public holidays here... hahaha, i love that!!! another thing, i found myself as a lucky girl here, i dun need to do cleaning stuffs (you can hire maid without worrying about how much you have to pay, their salary is quite low), dun need to run for public transport (i drive here and keep complaining about how heavy the traffic jam could be), etc... anyway, i can say that Indo has many smart people compared to other countries (agree with me??? i realized this when i was overseas, Indonesian students are almost always smarter than others)... ah yeah, another thing, i bet almost all people around the world know MIE GORENG... LOL!!!!! This's good and i'm proud of that... =p well, i stop here, thinking what're any other reason to love this country... i would type them later if i find it... (see?? i'm not a good citizen, i can't even mention why should i love this country).............


Continue with things i hate (i bet it'll gonna be a long list)...
1. Indonesian people dunno how to queue... (i dun need to explain anything about this, u guys know it)
2. This country is not safe... (means, if u wanna be safe, do not bring anything out because you have to take a good care of them with full of attention - locking yourself in the house doesn't guarantee that u're gonna be safe as well)...
3. The space between the riches and poor is too far... seems like there is a rule here saying that the riches are going to be richer and the poor are going to be poorer.. yes, it happened here... (somewhat unfair from my point of view)
4. The number of uneducated people is higher than the educated ones... this links to point #2 i mentioned above... i heard so many people saying "when will indo be like singapore or japan or any other coutries?"... if i have a chance to answer, i would say "never, if the number of uneducated people is still high"... i'm imagining IF (and only IF) Indo has MRT system, it would surely be dirty (as most Indonesians think that everywhere is their rubbish bin - they throw rubbish everywhere), not safe, and other bad factors (i dun dare to mention all, too many)...
5. Indonesian people's hobby is watching anything they can watch... sigh* when a disaster happened in a certain place, that place might be full of people watching what's happening there... once again, watching!!! not helping... and they would say "i feel sorry for them"... WTH!! i wonder what's the point of saying that.. sympathy?? your words are just useless if you have no action to help...
6. I'm not saying all, but most people here don't know how to appreciate other people... if you live here in Indonesia, you might experienced it more than once... 
7. corruption... the funds are never 100% delivered... (i dun need to explain about this, people know it)
8. and some more....


Well, i'm not saying this country is really bad... the things i mentioned above are just some "opinions" (i better call it complains) about the country i'm staying in now... There are still a lot of things need to be improved... 
i really wish one day i could proudly say that I'm Indonesian (i can do it now, but sometimes i still feel shame for those stuffs i mentioned)... I was born here, grew up here, and i wish i could be really proud of being an Indonesian... 
If we're, Indonesians, do not start to build this country to be more advance... when will we be proud of our own country???


"... Indonesia pusaka... Indonesia tercinta... Nusa bangsa dan bahasa kita bela bersama...."
