nationalism?

ok i'm going to talk something different this time, less personal, less about my daily life. more about mind set.

yesterday, officials from Euro Management came along to our school from jakarta for giving us a presentation about study aboard or sometimes popular as study overseas. to where? to europe of course. they have two options, germany or france. i was interested to go to france but my destination changed as they finished the presentation and description of benefits dwelling in germany. the college fee is very cheap. cheap cheap cheap cheap!!! even if you're lucky you don't have pay any bucks. just think about the living cost. it's a bit considerable. living cost for a month can add up to 600 euro. hmm. but they said, after the first year, the fees will no longer be a problem to you. because you're allowed to get a part time job with a tempting salary. that is able to cover up the outcome from your parents or else you don't have to ask for money to your parents anymore as the third term begins. interested so far?
awh, okay my purpose is not to promote the euro management.
i just want to tell that it's very hard to me to decide now.

the procedure is, you have to pay for the language course in jakarta. for about 6 months starting this July 2010. so you'll be leaving to europe by the january of 2011 and officially admitted to a university by the summer of 2011. how long? very longggggg. i'm not sure i can keep up...

they said, european really appreaciate and cherish each other. he also added that doctor has a common allowance as most of other jobs. That's what we cannot find in this bleepin country.

this is the difference between europe and indonesia. indonesians, not all, really care about their self importance. they only think about themselves and less think about the others. as we live in a community, in social, we should care about others instead of getting rid of weak people, or putting other people down. that's the inherited behavior that would never go change, i think. i love indonesia so much, it's my motherland, but i dislike indonesian and the way indonesian people use to think. it's not more than about selfishness, ambition, obsessiveness, and money.

it's my luck that i live in a good surrounding--a sincere, honest, nice, thoughtful, intelligence community. we just don't know yet, will we get the precise surrounding in present or a worse one? no one guarantees.

so that's what i was conceiving at the preach of "sholat jumat" this time. I could barely hear the preacher speakin so my mind had gone out somewhere further than where i spot. i'm fascinated by the simple-short presentation yesterday. it's just awesome. but i don't want to postpone my freshman-ness until next year. it just sucks...

and you know what sucks a lot more?
this feelin about someone. lol
