what's with all the hype?

It's true that Obama once lived in Indonesia and his mother was married to Indonesian man. But fellows, do we really have make a big deal out of it?

I'm indeed one of Obama's huge fans and I couldn't help but to feel excited upon knowing such incredible man had spent some part of his childhood years in the same country as mine. Oh well, who wouldn't be?

However, lately I'm starting to get tired with all of the fuss that my fellows made. Come on, ever since he made his breakthrough into USA political world, we've never stopped talk about him. Weeks of press coverage after his then-canceled trip and his 'sate' line in his 18mins interview with my dear Putra Nababan, built him a statue,and now 'Win 3 golden tickets to meet Obama' !? Wew, too much...


But I still adore you mister :) Though I'm kind of disappointed because you didn't do anything with recent attacks by Israel.

The Election

I know we are still another a month away until our Presidential Election, but just like five years ago, I truly hope SBY will be the winner =)


I am defnitely not a fan of political stuff, however I do adore SBY. I think he is an undeniably smart and charming figure. I am not sure if it is due to his background as a former military executive, but he surely has this charismatic aura which makes him look surprisingly calm most of the times!

Anyway, I would rather choose to give him another shot to rule this country than to witness the ultimate power controlled by Megawati or JK. No offense for their supporters, I just do not like these two people.


I am actually came from the same hometown as JK, indeed.. he is a good friend of my parents. Still, these facts should not prevent me to pursue what I truly believe, right?

Frankly speaking, I prefer to see JK as a Vice Presiden. I feel uncomfortable having a leader who is really thirst with public attention and appreciation. To me, he is one of the 'look at me' type.
Ah.. not to forget his blunt attitude which is another turn-off for me.

I have always believed both of him and SBY was a match made from heaven. It is really sad to see them part ways.


What about Megawati?
Oh my God, I hate her! I could not imagine what would happen if such ambitious and foolish lady is chosen as the next President. Can YOU please not let that happen, God?

I personally believe that SBY deserves a second chance. At this stage, it is too early to make any judgement whether he has succeeded (or failed) to bring a brighter future towards our beloved country. But compared to the other two candidates, there is no doubt if he wins more favor.
Even Bush needed his second attempt to prove how unfavorable he is to the whole world =D
