Gibberish Writings

    So recently I just had this little realisation. I was about to call it an epiphany but I thought using that word would be a dramatisation, so for the moment let's just call it a minor realisation. So I live in Indonesia which if you don't know already, is a developing country. We have so many things to be proud about like our astonishingly diverse culture and our unique culinary taste. But education isn't one of those things. Education is far from those things. Like our education sucks. I don't exactly know the reason to that. I mean I haven't done a research or anything but I might have some ideas and hypotheses to the situation. The human resource, the gap between islands Firstly, I think the problem comes from the not-so-advanced framework of the whole education system itself. Indonesia comes 4th globally in terms of population. There's about 250 million of us. And yet, our education system doesn't have enough human resource to support...

Fear. That thrilling sensation triggered by your brain that goes down your spine and from there, it swarms every centimetre cubic and square of your flesh and skin. That unsettling feeling translated into a consistently rapid heartbeat. It's one of those set of letters that you definitely don't want engraved in your mind. It's that thing that you don't want infecting your thoughts and ideas. It is the very embodiment of "not good". And those words above are probably an exaggeration. But let's be honest, some of it is definitely true and worth nodding your head towards. Whilst I am writing this blog, I am feeling fear. It has little to do with the blogpost itself. But it has everything to do with the Junior High School's national finals that is to be conducted on Monday, nationwide throughout the whole Indonesian archipelago. And you might wonder, what's so frightening about an exam? I mean, towards a certain extent, and to some people, it is sl...

Instagram is an absolutely free and highly-diverse platform. You can literally post anything there from something geeky like a lightsabre to something as relatable as a quote. Some people post completely random shit. But a considerable amount of others post pictures that could show-off their photography tekkers. Nah, I'm just kidding. I mean some others post moments that are captured as pictures so the whole wide world could acknowledge it, and therefore generating more of these interactions. Some people do this for pure fun and joy. But some others do this to take pride over their "photographic tekkers" (yup, this is where my sentence from before should've ended up in the first place). I mean it's not like I'm against it. Some people do have impressive photographic vision and camera knowledge. Those people do deserve to be praised and I could almost say they have the right to be cocky if it weren't for the fact that being cocky is one of the truest sig...

So you've heard the news. 8 drug dealers have been executed in Indonesia. The thing that bothers me the most is that all of them has spent a considerably long amount of time in prison and their prison inmates said that they've changed. But for various reasons (that the Indonesian government consider appropriate) they were given a death verdict earlier this year. To let you guys know, I'm an Indonesian, I'm against drugs, and still I question "why". People change. Everyone's got some goodness in them and they deserve second chances especially with the fact that prison has been proved able to change them. Indonesia's intention to fiercely fight drug dealing is absolutely good news. Their way of doing it is really questionable though. We're dealing with lives here. Innocent lives, yes. But not innocent forever. The pain of knowing lives that deserve second chances pass away is indeed unbearable. Especially to the family left by those who are execute...
