ALL BY MYSELF

When I was young

I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna live

Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna live

I never, never, never
Needed anyone

LIFE INSIGHTS FROM THE TAXI DRIVER #NusantaraStory

I always Happy to listen to someone else Story. People is like a living biography.

Just like my experience with the taxi drivers. He is from NTT/Sumbawa, but he has been in Surabaya for 22 years, married but not having house yet.

He Shared with me a Piece story of his life. When he is young he was an angkot drivers. In NTT people loves angkot as not much having personal ride. 

But the different is angkot in NTT is very clean and have a big and loud salon to play the Music, so everyone can notice it even from a far distance. The driver and driver assistant also do make up and dress up cleany to attract the passenger. 

Just like other part of Indonesia, NTT has a great place beautiful Nature but not a good economy. Most people works at retails. Because no factory There.

In NTT there is Number one resort in the world called Nihi Sumba. Lots of world famous came here but not for Indonesian as it is so expensive, owned by american billionaire. 

But then i know the facts That in Sumba, Land is Free. Local people Happy to Give you land for free as long as you can manage it. So crazy! No wonder lots of foreigner are easily own a land and loves to Build private resort and hotel Biz in Indonesia because everything is cheap, not equal with quality provided, fuck!

The Richer getting richer, the Poorer getting poorer, welcome to Indonesia.

SAIL OVER SEVEN SEAS

 Day by day I miss you so

You have to go my love
Where a ship so far away
You don't tell that will return
Before the autumn comes
Everyday I dream of you

In my dream a little seagulls
Flying through the darkest night
Searching for some teardrops in
The wind with the ship of lonely loveless
I sail over seven seas
Try to find the captain of my heart

I sail over seven seas
To find to your heart
I sail through the darkest night
I sail to your heart
I sail over seven seas
To find to your heart

I sail with the winter night
Oh, alone in the dark
I don't fear the stormy night
And night don't feel too cold
All because I miss you so
In the distance I can see
The island of my home
Oh, I like to be with you

RICH COUNTRY DILEMMA

I always feel anger and frustrate when seeing something out of my conscience, and i cant Change it or Even can't do anything about it!

It happened to my professional and personal things. In my professional works I also feels frustrated if seeing something out of integrity or else seeing unfairness happening, I always fight for the right things till I felt tired and choose to let go.

Unfairness sample if I see with my own eyes the difference work between people who always do the hard work sincerely authentically care for the customers is losing with the person who only do the checklist of their works as done but not really taking care of the customers. But they do the bullshit to just make the boss happy so they can get promotion. It’s unfair! 

In the end of the day, it’s not a customer problem if they are churning bcos ur team not really do the job rightly to take care of the customers. Thus in the end of the day the company lost to loose the customers. FYI it takes more cost to acquire new customers than to retain the existing one.

I had morning walk around my place, lots of prestigius residence here. Somehow it makes me thinks is it really Indonesia? As the condition is totally different with what I saw outside Jakarta. The economic gap is real.

The other facts is lots of non Indonesia are around (India, Chinese, Arabia) the residence but the local Indonesian only becomes security, clean worker, right similar with the facts I found in Africa!

The other funny facts are I saw the security comes from military, yea only In Indonesia Millitary becomes security guard for someone who has money. military should be for country not for someone who has lots of money!

No wonder lots of Indonesian choose to be careless/aphatetic instead of care, bcos seeing those funny facts in this country also makes me angry. Moreover if u can’t doing anything it makes me more more angry!

Sometimes I just want to be aphatetic like them but I can’t! Sigh! That was my big problem!!

no wonder lots of Indonesian choose to live abroad, last time I was thinking they are not nationalist but now I know I think that might be the right choice than seeing the facts that u cannot changes. It’s more frustrating!

 Social judgement and construction.

Living in Indonesia means you have to be ready with anything, Social judgement and social construction. Here, people will respect and value people based on who they know, what they have, what you do and how much you can give benefits?! Instead of WHO YOU ARE, HOW YOU DO, HOW MUCH YOU CARE FOR OTHERS.,

People also define their own social label/construction, so people will live based on others expectations, think and define about themselves, so that people will like and love them. Because being different means wrong, threat, and competitor. That’s why people loves to not becomes their authentic self because they are hungry for acceptance and acknowledgement from others. People will live based on others definition and timeline of success. In facts each person has their own definition of success. 

But in Indonesia you will have value if you have moneys, title and good looking. Which I hate the most!

Cuz they don’t value sincerity, faithfully, empathy and authenticity.
