Hi! I am Me.

I reached the point when listen to people calling others by their race or nationality make me sick. To me it sounds superiority or else inferiority.


At first I told everyone where am from just to let them know "who I am". Lot of reactions over the statement just because they know a lot, somewhat don't know, and maybe don't know anything at all. I decided not to brag more about how beautifull my country is, or how rich in culture we are. I let them know I am as person and not give them a chance to generelasize my people just because a single me.


For your concern, that is not easy since you live in world full of prejudice. Before I steped in Australia some said Aussies are frickin racist. Once I live around that is make sense. This kanggoroo land is any etnicity melting pot. You name it you got any race you want.

But, it would too much if I say all Aussies are racist, because all other people are.

I work with different kind of nationalities one time. Everyone talked about others just because their nationality. I was always around different nationality and they talked about others. And also the other way around. I believe there are some talks about me when I am not around.

All were the same. Whenever they talked they would say: 'I am race X I will not do that!', or those race Y is so lazy, well 'they are famous for that'. Those are only few stuff came out their mouth. I tried not to listen to that, so boring.

Other form of boringness is when you listen your friend identified his/her friend with its nationality. Oh well sometime it has nothing to do when you put in any conversation. It is like this "yesterday I went to coffe shop with my nationality Z friend". I would like make a comment: oh that's why you are friend with him/her, because of his nationality.

I am fed up with all those. Especially when I become prejudiced. I was in one party one night. A random old looking guy asked me where I am from and wether I am single or not. Lazily I answered him and emphasized that I am no longer available. Just believe me the next question he asked was so annoying: I am a resident, so if you want.... We can..."

He never finished his line since I turned my back to calm me down otherwise my fist would have left mark on his face.

Anyone knows why did he do that? Because they have idea that women from my country will do anything to live overseas and be with men who has money.

So that is why I am out off nationality topics.

Di Puncak Tangga

Tik..tok..tik..tok... Enggak berasa nih kawan, dah hampir kelar semester tujuh. Semester delapan tinggal beberapa waktu lagi masuk ke dalam kehidupan kita. Dapat dipastikan dengan masuknya semester delapan kita makin sibuk dengan urusan masing-masing. Yang kecil pasti sibuk dengan urusan job tre-nya. Yang cowok pun sepertinya demikian. Yang jilbab gw kurang ngerti neh dia sibuk job tre, kuliah, atau keduanya. Sedangkan jilbab yang lain pasti sibuk dengan organisasinya dan dibantu oleh si pasangan hidupnya. Teman sejawatnya. Sedangkan yang gingsul, rambut panjang, rambut pendek kaca mata, dan gw pasti sibuk dengan kuliah dan job tre. Kalau gw sih ada tambahannya, yaitu bersenang-senang. Hehehe...aku akan menikmati semester besok yang tidak banyak kuliah. Yihaa....setidaknya dengan sedikit kuliah gw bisa mengerjakan sesuatu yang gw dah dari dulu pengen dilakuin. Asik..asik... Tetapi yang jadi masalah gw mesti bersenang-senang sama siapa. Toh, lo semua aja mungkin sibuk dan entah ada di m

Another number to add. This time I kinda relax to face it. No excited feelings, nor ignore the date. It came all natural. Just want to take a moment of silent for meself. Some big steps in life I've already taken before this number came. I am now, living mylife as an expats, a little wish I whispered ages ago. I left family back home, so it let me feel homesick of being around them. The bold note for this time is I am in the country I have longed since years ago, India. One time I told myself to add the number in India. And, here I am. How wonderful life is. Especially when the love one is there next to me. I want a memento, a present for me. I will have it later and keep you updated. Namaste.
