Indonesia Chose

Today, 8th of July 2009, is Indonesian presidential election day.
I did vote, but somehow I wasn't too excited. Well, maybe because I slept at 4.oo a.m. after watching MJ's memorial service and my mom woke me up at 7.30 a.m., and I was so sleepy to take a shower and go to the voting place. I wonder why american people were so excited about their election day in 2008. They even voluntarily made posters designs and souvenirs for the candidates. The Obama posters were everywhere and there were some candidates figures and T-shirts sold during 2008 in United States. And correct me if I'm wrong, the voters got some stickers which said "I voted," and in my opinion, small things like this can build the nationalism feeling and the proud feeling after voted. Too bad KPU didn't make such a thing to make the voters feel proud that they voted.

when dad died

Paris Jackson gave a speech in the stage at the end of the Michael Jackson's Memorial. She said “I just want to say ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine, and I just want to say I love him so much.” Dang! What she said was exactly what I felt when my dad passed away. Even though your dad is a strict person, even though he's not always buying you stuffs, even though he's not always giving you permissions to go out with your friends, even though he has a very strict curfew, and even though he might not seem to be the perfect dad, he'll always be the best dad in the world, ever, no matter what people say.. And watching MJ's memorial (the last part where the whole family was on stage) makes my mind flies back to 2 years ago, when the whole family hugged in a circle, and when I said goodbye to my dad. And I do miss my dad now :(
