Is it the video or the Issue?

As I was impressed by Radiohead performance in Grammy award, I was iniciated to browse more about them to catch up with their news. I was checking youtube out and hey take a look of what I got!

I don't know which one should be my consideration. Is it because the band or the issue that captured in this video.

The issue in this video revealed the reality in the third world nation,especially in my country. If you have time to take a look at your pair of branded shoes you might find that they are made in China or Indonesia. Well yea this thing really happen, children are working to support the family financial condition here. They don't even have spare time to catch up with one another in shopping malls or coffee shop like you and me usually do. When they have leisure time the would play with their friend on the street and learn about a lot of things that they are not suppose to. So if you are proud of your branded identity there, don't brag! You are just one of the person who make such system goes. You are responsible for the child worker who are not well paid here.

Just take your time and think when you buy a branded goods, brand is just one of the image and identity discourse. You are still what you are without any brands stick on your head, body, or feet.

To Whom it may concern!

to my dearest,
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man.
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone elseBut

A bit of My Past

I started with questioning and arguing life in http://indri-coolenuf.blog.friendster.com/ ...

Undistinguishable Asian?

As I was sitting on the loop bus a Chinese girl who sat beside me was smiling at me and asking me a question “are you from China?” and I simply smiled and answered “no, sorry,, I’m from Indonesia” . Finally the bus stop and her curiosity ended by saying “bye” to me. As the meaningless short conversation ended I started to think, what did make her think that I’m Chinese? Which part of me that attempted her to ask that kind of question to me?

In other occasion, I was excited to have new housemate who comes from Taiwan. I was taking her to a city tour for some window shopping. As she was interested in one shirt, she turned to me and spoke in Taiwanese with me. Is it my eyes or what?

One of my classmates even shocked when I said I’m a 100% Indonesian. Radically she thought that I come from India and she was wondering why I don’t look like the other Indian,,(gosh). Maybe you can tell me why? She also insists to guess that I have Chinese blood in me. My other classmate though that I’m from Malaysia while the other thought I’m Thai. Am I undistinguishable or what? Or maybe I do have that multiracial look? Or maybe, all Asian look the same and that might be the reason they cannot distinguish me?

Pseudo cultural and psychological shocks!

Once I was imagining having no friends or relatives in this world. I thought I must be nice to live with your own rules without any suspicious thought of others. Then I realized I felt alienated in this new town. I have no one but myself.
Maybe my language advisor is right, “it will take time Indri” she said. Why? Because I am in different country now; I’m in a country where most people would prefer pasta rather than rice, country where shopping centre closes at 4 pm, country where Barbie looking girls and rock star looking boys are crossing the street, country which has (more or less) 7000 times higher living cost, country where making interaction is not as easy as I used to. I found myself as a different person here. I don’t hang out, I do groceries shopping, I’m more self-organized, I ask questions in class, and I go to the library almost every day.
This is not the real me, am I in the stages of culture shocks? As I’m facing the stages where I found everything is different? I’m not regret either worried; I just need to get out of this illusion cage and want to be ‘me’. Me as the optimist person, me as the social creatures who can easily makes friend, me as me. I guess I just need some time to blend with all these new idea of living, and as I will blended with this society another questions shall arise. The question would be will I change or will I not?
