far and near ...

if i was to be a product, i bet i would have a lil' note at the back of my packaging, on top of the barcode, that says: "Designed in Jakarta - Indonesia. Made in International." i think it precisely describes me. although i was born and did spend my early childhood years in the city, i find myself wandering in it now with absolutely no recognition of its identity being my hometown, a place where i began. and i am pretty sure i am as blur and "green" as a tourist visiting the city, no more no less. i hardly know places around the city - in fact i would probably need a map to travel, or perhaps the taxi's would cure my loss of direction - and i hardly have any friends from yesteryears. it is just so frustrating. and with the poor delivery of public transportation services - though they are available - you need to be able to operate your own vehicle to move around, be it a car or a motorbike. it's like a survival skill for your social life in jakarta, which i hardly have right now. sighs. consequently the enormous number of cars traveling on the roads give rise to the increased volume of traffic congestion in the city. everywhere you go is jammed. it's a culture thing over here. double sighs. anyways just wanna share this with you peeps. i mean my frustration. hahahaha. apparently there are many many more. but they'll pass. i am sure. in the mean time, i'm looking forward to the EPL clash between Man. United "The Red Devils" and Liverpool "The Reds" tonite at Anfield. GO MAN-U GO!!! be sure to catch all the actions eh! have a good weekend mates! me out now. Cheers.
