Hey Roger, this is GoinOver come back.
Hey pals, yeah I know, so much time I disappeared and now I am coming back to you, whether you want to read this bloody blog or not. :gigling:

 Just a moment ago, I heard Radio informing us the winner of first election of Jakarta. I didn’t smile to hear that, but I was lil bit happy to know that the incumbent didn’t get the first place but the second. Jokowi – Ahok, a couple candidate who being the winner for this first round, got more than 40% than others. If I’m not mistaken Jokowi – Ahok hold 43 / 47 %. Hmm, it closed to 50% right? Just a question in mind, if Jokowi got 50% or more, let’s guess that he would be the winner and tomorrow he might have inauguration as the new Jakarta Governor. Nice thinking.

The win of Jokowi shocked people and survey institutions. Because you all had known that most of survey institutions announced their research of this election with Foke – Nara as the winner. Foke – Nara, according them, could deserve big percentage of others. But the facts said different from what they might hope. Yeah pals, you may never believe with survey institutions because they might not really working correctly and just err, being a campagne team for those who paid them. Good trading.

Now what next? Yeah pals, if you are the Jakarta citizens, just get ready for the second round on September 2012, still in this year. Choose the best leader for you. Jakarta is a special area. It is not only a capital for a province but also for a country. You are the specialist, pals, for knowing of Jakarta problems, so you know much.

I continued eating my pudding while the dusty radio let me heard the information. Some of people (they called this Radio and revealed their opinion) didn’t like for the result of election. They suggested that people should choose the candidate no. 4 that wise and religious rather than Jokowi and others. Hmm, well, no body’s perfect, pals. Hey you who supported the candidate no. 4, just see the facts that people now have no believe again to parties especially your party. The recommendation is to stop talking and hating those who didn’t support you, then improve your self.

Haah.. just got headache and hungry for a thousand times of thinking this. Okay pals, I’m off. Success you all. Bye.

At the Bus Station

Crowded. Messy. Smoky.

I just arrived at the bus station. As usual, people and buses were crossing over the street. It was really crowded. I sighed and asked to myself: is it possible to change the bus station condition? Is it possible to straightened up this crowded? I sighed again.

Then I stopped the red cab. This was a public cab. You could get in with other passengers and paid the driver to bring you to your destination. I sat in that little cab and took my green mask. I have to stick that mask into my half-face and cover my mouth and nose. This was Jakarta, a crowded-messy-smoky city. You should have a mask to protect yourself from poison air.

I let my face glanced toward the west. I saw red has been covering the horizon. That was twilight. Then I smiled with closed eyes. I was forgetting all things I hate.

Dark Pearl from Mataram

My advisor at office just came back from Mataram, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. She brought many souvenirs to us, as her staffs and volunteers. When I finished my ashar pray, she called me to give that souvenir. She said that that is a pearl from Mataram. I said, really? Well, she assured me with saying “of course!” . Hmm, I made smile on the lips. Well, thx Mom! It’s great to have a dark pearl from east. Did you know? The pearl’s mixed with green color from leaves accessories. It’s beautiful.

Pearl from Mataram. Actually I won’t discuss about the pearl, but the Mataram city. Because I don’t know is it the producer of pearls. Mataram is the capital of Nusa Tenggara Barat province. It has a beautiful view. Tourists most like to visit some great places here such as, Taman Sangkareang, Pantai Senggigi, and Cakranegara.

Hmm, actually, I also never visit there but im eager sometime. Hope so! I wanna see how beauty is it.

This is a story of my home, Indonesia. As you know the good things of it, Indonesia is a big country. Over 230 ethnic groups in 33 provinces store in this country. They have great culture and all of them are so astonishing. Indonesia with the people, Indonesia with their welcome. You would get the warmth of love and peace here.

Unfortunately, Indonesia is the poor country. Yes, we’re the poor. We’re the people who work and give the harvest to foreigner. We’re vulnerable people in rich country. We’re rich by the nature resources but we’re too stupid with our warmth. Sometime people take the benefit from our stupid. We pleased they come and take part in our gold mining in Jayapura. Then we get nothing exception for a little part. We pleased they come into our economic problem and gave some money as a gift (actually it’s an obligation, it’s a DEBT) then they ruined us with crisis of it. We’re too kind and those usurers are so good in their guile.

Also, Indonesian, sometime, is not the hard worker. We’re lazy nation. We have too much dreams without trying to approach them. We’re used being corruptor in every single sector, from the time to the money. We’re love to fighting with anyone. The students, from elementary school to the university, have good point in bullying, even the grown folks. This is the real that you have to know. I tell this because they won’t tell you in wikipedia or any webs of information. I tell you the truth, dude.

But overall, Indonesia is my home and would always be my home. I was born on this fatherland. I was born to build this great fatherland. And I was born to die here with all my love to this fatherland.

Thank you.
