As the title can state, this following post won't have a certain topic. Therefore, no systematic paragraphs will be represent here. You can read it if you want to, anyway.
So first, what I want to ramble about is the phenomenon of Malaysia claiming some of our culture to be theirs. I thought I don't have to tell you from the beginning. All Indonesians (or maybe some of global citizens) have already known that Malaysia has claimed several of our cultures to be theirs. Simple examples are song of "rasa sayange" and "reog" (which is named Barongan later).
At first, like the other Indonesians may react, I was certainly angry and wondered; how come they did such a thing that is terrible enough, and have a great opportunity to set a "big war" between Indonesia and Malaysia. Me and my mom discussed it, and at that moment, we even sang some old song (which I don't know the title is, I only know the lyric of "ganyang malaysia"). But then again, as we continued our discussion, we realized something within this case. Yes, Malaysia claimed our culture to be theirs, but HAVE we PROTECTED and TOOK CARE our own cultures since the beginning? I don't think so. Lot and lot stories about abandoned artists were shown on television, like agreeing our thought.
So, who is to be blamed? Malaysia? Or ourselves? Maybe we should consider again to EVALUATE ourselves, especially in this culture-problem.
Second thing to rambled about is..my english. Darn, I feel like my english is getting worse everyday. Erm..not exactly, really. But I know it's not getting good anyway. Since I never practice it anywhere, it's obvious that I can't have my english better than before. Don't you think so? Of course it is. That's why I'm totally jealous to rhama, who can always write everything in his blog beautifully. It's true. I love his wrting-style. And in the same time, envy him. I'm considering in kidnapping him and take some of his english ability to be mine...
Third thing which is unimportant...I have 15 hamsters now. Anyone, please take some of them?Fourth, my thesis!!! I wonder myself why I put this important topic in the fourth point, but well, I don't really care. I finally have my programmer (again!) and we're planning to finish the program as soon as possible. Oh, may Allah give the best way for me. Amen.
My lab is the next. I really want to punch my head of laboratory for giving me new tasks WHILE I'm doing my thesis. Like I have no other thing better to be done. At first, I thought my lab was going to be an extraordinary lab here (compared to other labs in my college). But as time passed..I'm rethinking about it.
Haaahh....any other topic for me to be rambled about?
