jakarta is seriously a beautiful place .
its the humanitarian there .
its not as bad as you think it is .
robbery thiefs are small matters .
they dont really hurt people .
if we compromise with them , nothing can go wrong at anytime of the day :)



i grew up there .
many fond memories were left there .
many friends . many family . many places that left their footsteps in my heart .
i travel day and night with my family looking for fun food and laughters .
used to go out with uncles and aunties when small .
when they were still holding my hand whenever we went out gai gai .
grandma too .
we do have frequent picnic , they she will prepare the food for us :)



as we age .
we spent lesser time together with the elders .
we 'grow wings' haha .
drive out middle of the night searching for fun places and food with loud music in the car .
trying to cut each other's lane for the sake of speeding .
the challenges gets harder .
elder cousin start to have family le .
i dont take it as hindrance at all .
more over we are close with our da sao :)
she's a nice and hardworking lady!



since small the 7 of us never fail to meet during weekends .
we always go out together to malls, plaza all those .
movies were not that popular to us during my time .
i only watched 2 movies .
Jurassic park and space jam i remembered .
after school is always freedom time .
off around 12 , mum, uncle grandma sometime was already waiting outside .
or i can wait for them for 2 hours when they're busy .
but its fun . whenever hungry , canteen will serve food , sometime mum pay the following day
or friend's mum will buy me meals :)
its just the trust .
we indonesians can eat today and pay few days after .
its the TRUST that we build over the years .
even if one doesn'y pay when he's too poor .
vendor wont go around gossiping and do all the 'loan shark' nasty stuff
the food went for good purpose , to feed the hungry ones .



rich people and poor people dont mix together?
not at all . my uncle drive mercs to wet market that see couple of cents per bundle of vege .
eat beside roadside stalls and wear plain white shirt with ah pek shorts .
i prefer roadside stalls , indonesians are so good of making use of spices to cook .
its not dpdp . its just some stupid and lowly assumptions that people made about each other .
but when they tried it themselves . then they know the real stuff .
singapore people can withstand spices? pls come jakarta :)
they eat fried finger food with 3 green chili padi without drinking most of the time .



why do some say i'm different?
cause i'm carrying indo passport with chinese blood .
i am proud to be born into this family .
to be able to think for the others is more noble than being able to feed yourself .
grandma taught us to be helpful and not to eat too much sweet stuff .
her good will , will be alive as long as i am .
and it will be taught without a word less to my decendants .
