it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

heiii. gila ya yang namanya jakarta. ditumpahin air dikit dari langit. MACET. pinter banget deh sumpah. huh.
sabaaaar. breatheee.

anyways. ada satu hal yang menggerakkan gw buat bikin post ini. ini adalah ironi anak muda indonesia jaman sekarang. yang bikin gw lebih geleng2 kepala lagi, ironi ini gw temukan di sekolah gw sendiri. malu ga sih, lo?

sooo, kemaren waktu assembly, mr. eric mengadakan reflection tentang kebangkitan nasional. tanggal 20 mei 1908, orang2 dari berbagai suku di indonesia, merasa sebagai orang indonesia. identitas mereka bukan lagi berdasarkan suku, tapi sebagai orang indonesia. saat itu, kira orang indonesia bangkit melawan penjajah sebagai orang indonesia. dan disaat-saat itulah, lagu kebangsaan indonesia raya dikumandangkan.

melihat kebelakang, udah lama gw nggak nyanyiin lagu kebangsaan gw sendiri. agak malu rasanya. soalnya takut lupa kata-katanya. hehe. lah wong orang indonesia kok nggak hapal lagu kebangsaan sendiri? malu2in aja. ;p

moving on, saat reflection itu, mr. eric nyuruh kita berdiri, tegap, menyanyikan lagu indonesia raya. disinilah ironinya.

gw harus menahan kekesalan yang mendalam, karena anak2 binus pada menganggap hal ini sebagai lelucon, atau lebih parah lagi, sesusatu yang nggak penting. instruksi mr. eric dianggap sebagai bahan tawa dan gerutu. ngga tersirat rasa bangga sama sekali saat menyanyikan lagu indonesia raya. nggak usah bangga deh, kalo emang ngga bangga, paling engga serius.

i mean, gw tau negara kita ngga sempurna. banyak masalah ini itu. flaws here and there.
banyak orang-orang masih melarat lah, pendidikan nggak terdistribusi dengan baik.
tapi nyadar ngga sih, klo lo sekarang nginjek tanah indonesia, sekolah di indonesia??
klo lo nyanyi lagu indonesia raya aja kayak disuruh loncat dari lantai 5, ngapain lo disini?

seriously, it pissed me off real bad.
bahkan mr. peter aja, yang bukan warga negara indonesia, berusaha menyanyikan indonesia raya? padahal bahasa indonesia aja belepotan. malu ngga sih, gw tanya??!

buat yang tersinggung, maaf aja ya. emang niatnya gw mau nyinggung, sih.
gw ngga tahan aja ngeliat sifat kayak gitu!

huh.

well, people. in conclusion however fucked up you think indonesia is, have pride. masih banyak hal2 yang indah dari tanah air kita.
be proud of it!
