Its very surprising for me as actually there are still lots of islands, mysteries, cultures which exist in Indonesia. Like , a minute ago, I have just found out that Indonesia has nominated three of its amazing creatures to 'new7worldwonder' - Lake Toba, Krakatau island and Komodo National Park. Even though, I lived in Indonesia for 13 years but I have never realised that Krakatau Island is in Sunda strait near to Sumatera and Java. The most amazing thing about the island is that it actively blow up its volcanic eruption n which resultes in anak krakatau ( child of krakatoa), perhaps, i should explore my country more next time if i go back before exploring other countries ;p. it is just so amazing.
Once, I saw a tv programme about Komodo island from one of the UK tv channel, I have never been to that island and I think the island was only mention once/ twice during my study in Indonesia. We were just told that Komodo island is an island in Indonesia where it consists of Komodo. I think in order for Indonesia i.e the islands, expansion in tourism etc, first thing that Indonesia government should do is to educate its people/ generations in schools about the amazing islands and still lots to explore in Indonesia rather than just think and look outsiders/foreigners countries are great. It is also not wrong that other countries are better in some parts but if we Indonesian are not proud and promote our own country, who is going to do that? I was once had conversation with one of my aunts about it as well i.e. if we Indonesian are the ones who always say/ think negatively about our own country, when will this country be developed like where it used to be?
Another amazing place is Lake Toba, ohhh i love that place, it is about 4-5 hours drive from my hometown to lake toba, I have been there lots of times and the place never ever turn down my excitement about that place, it is just so beautiful....a lake which is surrounded by mountains and small houses around it and also there is a very small, tiny island called samosir island in the middle of the lake....that place is very amazing as well- friendly people and lots of stuffs which cant be find in cities or in the main island. It is a good place for relaxing n sunbathing...If we r standing at the top of the mountain, not even a top of it, we will see a very beautiful scenery...really amazing....lake etc. Cant wait to go there again.

points!!!
In life we r obliged to follow rules and procedures and decisions and actions that we take, may be agreed or criticize by others. We have no right to rebut and try to change the thinking of the others to us. However, the worst part is some people criticise and form their opinion towards one due to what ever have been told by some one else to that person. Instead of asking for clarification, that some people just straightaway agree with that someone. It is called as 'telinga ringan' in Malay.
Also, in life , I believe that we should be more open towards each other and not carrying a big sword and stab a person from behind esp if that person used to always said 'oh....i m a good fren or who and bla bla bla/ we r best frens...bla bla bla' all of these are just bull****. It clearly show that that person has not enough gut to tell his/her so called 'fren' the truth and keep one lie by one lie. He/she cant be classified as good/best/closed frens if in the end wht have they done just to hurt a person ie his/her best/good/closed fren very badly.
Sometimes, tht best/good/ closed fren is just jealous of the other as the other has something which he/she doesnt have and the only way to make his/her fren jealous/revenge is to take something which is really important fr his/her best fren away. However, cases may vary. In my case that is the case. There are a few points that i can learn from it is never ever trust a person even though they claim to be ur best fren unless if u have knwn them for a long time n u trust them. secondly, keep mouth shut to some certain people.

china-human rights?!! indonesia- corruption! women-equally, respect n dignity!
Olympic 2008 is coming soon in China and it seems that due to the Olympic , expansion and development is everywhere in China such as roads extensions n expansions, building new buildings for offices, condominiums. My opinion is development in China esp in Beijing is good, it shows that Beijing is expanding and going to be one of the most powerful country. Further, it may assist to attract tourism and investors to invest in China. However, due to the Olympic and the development in China, it seems that rights of human beings in China has been ignored. I watched a show 2 days ago about Chinese human rights which have been abused and abanded by its government and developers. In order to build new roads near to Olympic area, residents in the area have been forced to move from their houses and if they refuse, forces such as physical abuse. Some of activities who disagree with development n removal have been locked up in a place to prevent them to voice out their opinions. Even presenter of the show had been locked up for six hours and camera had been tried to be damage during filming the documentary. It appears that in order to make Olympic sucessfull, everything such as locked up , abuse are done to make it work, so is there really rights of human beings in China?
My cousin and I had just talked about situation in Indonesia such as corruption and its geographical area which is to wide for them to manage it. The geographical area is one of main factors to the existence of corruption in Indonesia as it is very difficult for the central government to manage the whole area. Other than that, the corruption in Indonesia has existed since Suharto regime so it may be difficult to abolish the corruption. These days, they do have an organization to prevent corruption in Indonesia but seems that the used of the organization is not really useful as corruption occurs in the organization itself. In my opinion, one of the ways to prevent corruption is to give independence to every state in Indonesia and they should provide annual reports to the central government every end of the year. However, according to my cousin, this is wht the government try to do these days but seems that it doesnt assist to prevent corruption in Indonesia. I think , in order to abolish corruption, initiation to do so must come from each individual, thus without their initiation to abolish/prevent corruption, it still will remain as corruption.
It is said that women have equal position as men/ women must be treated similarly to men i.e. equal opportunity in employment and in every aspect of life. I do believe that there must be equal opportunity but I do also believe that women must be treated with respect n dignity, we still really appreciated nice and a well gentleman. However, these days, it appears that it is hard to find nice and a real gentleman, some guys treat a girl nicely because there is something that they want from the girl. Well, there are still outthere nice guys but seem very hard to find ;p
the first well nice gentlemen guys that i can see so far/ in my life are my january intake 2006 family, secondly one or two of my friends' housemates and one or two of my groupmates.
