first off all i'm just wanna point out that deep down inside i'm a nationalist... you can see that my bones color are red and white (that's the Indonesia's flag for those of you that doesn't know)... but sometimes.... just sometimes... i just can't take how my people behave!!!
yesterday was a fine example why sometime i just had it up to my neck with this stupid indonesian behavior.
OK... before you all got a little tense by reading my on going ramble... i think i should give you the details.
Yesterday i had to go to a well known japanesse hotel for a seminar.i thought that it was gonna be another normal everyday job thing... but no..... today my fate lead me to a very rude security service at the hotel who --when asked where the diamond room for the seminar--put me aside and check me out as i'm not fit to be a fancy hotel and lets a lady (not malayu blodded like me past through and endangering my handphone as she dropped her hand bag on a plate where my phone is located---DAMN YOU LADY--- and by the way she is also attending the seminar i'm attending as i found out later)
OK.. maybe my day start out bad.... i thought what else could today bring me..... i should've hold my tounge!
coz this lady from the seminar committee thought i looked strange talking in bahasa Indonesia and with her look she just passed me by when i looked surprise to find i can't have the papers from the seminar (oh ya.. i'm a journalist.. fot those of you who are curious..)due to the fact i'm not a participant.. just a low life journalist... and by the way she gave 4 singaporean girl --that isn't really into the seminar-- the papers that i need to make my article !!!
I have to admit that after i asked again, that finally she gave me the papers.. but still with a reluctant look on her face....
OK maybe i haven't drank my first cup of coffee that morning.... but why do i still have the feeling that they don't respect me at all up until today?
well... i thought maybe she looked down on me coz she so damn smart and uses perfect english all her life...
BLAH... some people just wanna show off something that they don't have.. as i found out later !!!
in the seminar i also hear how a prof (indonesian that is) whines about how indonesia can't be compared to Singapore (the seminar mostl talks about singapore development in handling children with autism)... gosh !!!
we are what we are... and if you got to be a professor then you should be proud that someone with indonesian background got to be like you !!!!
we have accomplished alot.. PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT !!!!!!
so why are these people's behaviour tick me off????
BECAUSE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR IS COMMON IN INDONESIA!!!!!
indonesian worship foreigner!! they worship the ground that the foreign people walk on....
and the impact is? normal people like me got tossed aside coz i'm just a red blooded melayu who loves taking a ride on a bus-- OK this is not quite true this is due to the fact that i hate driving in jakarta's traffic---
DAMN... sometimes... i wish Indonesian just take prode on themself a little more... not kneeling down to the people from other country.
I know we have problems... I know that we're not perfect... but should know our own strenght and take pride in our self...
OK this is sounding more and more like an independence speech so i better stop when i haven't lost it...
guess that's all i have to say... 'INDONESIAN PLEASE BE PROUD !'
