potato head

“I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature.”

BE MORE OPTIMISTIC, INDONESIANS!!

Most of indonesians are now very pessimistic about their future, some regret why they supported the reform movement 10 years ago (Reformasi). You know what? SO WERE THE RUSSIANS !!! They were frustrated when communism fell, and experienced the worst economic condition in their history. 
Now look at them !


Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, presidential adviser for 39 developing countries in Asia, South America and the leftovers of USSR, said this very encouraging views..

"“It is not fair to compare Indonesia with it’s neighboring countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, or any other country in the world in that case. Indonesia has changed from a totally centralized country to a decentralized country virtually overnight. Indonesia has changed from a Dictatorship to a Democracy virtually overnight. Indonesia has changed to a liberal country virtually overnight. No other country has been through what Indonesia has been through virtually overnight. The closest example is the USSR. When the USSR split up, it experienced similar changes to what Indonesia had, virtually overnight. In that condition, Russia’s economy had a NEGATIVE growth that year. In that same condition, Indonesia’s Economy GREW. It had POSITIVE growth. If I were an Indonesian, I would be proud of that achievement. And I would predict a much brighter future".

This person is a true nationalist. Its refreshing to read about his incredibly optimistic take on my country's future when everyone else ( I included) contradict, and endlessly bash the system especially at this time of global recession . His blog contains well informed perspectives upon various developments in Indonesia. Awesome! I should broaden my horizon a bit.. This page is  such a good place to learn, and get ideas and mentally prepare myself, especially when I finally leave for good..!

and the cats in the cradle, and the silver spoon

You know, sometimes I feel this close.

This close to completely letting go about my past, and the scrutiny of what people expect me to be, and what I expect myself to be. This close to finally being comfortable in my skin. This close to living simply, starting a new life and new career. This close to allowing myself to fall in love again. This close to sharing- without any inhibitions.

But I'm always torn between what I love and what I'd love to give.

Don't you know it is my number one biggest aspiration to make you proud? I want to be that person, and I truly don't want to hurt anyone. I am beyond afraid of revealing who I truly am even though I feel you are starting to understand who I really am, and who I'm becoming- which is you. Hurting you is inevitable. I too, want to be home. I want to embrace every privileges in life including spending time with you and everyone, and just sit and be- as two individuals - nothing more. But I wish you can see that I feel so terrified of failing you more then anyone in my life. Sometimes I wish I wasn't what I am Dad.
