beloved.country

today i went to puri and saw "Xtra Large", a movie starring jamie aditya, dewi sandra and sarah sechan. It's an indonesian movie, and hell funny! the film industry in indonesia are sure developing rapidly. in these last years it produced some great movies, like nagabonar2, otomatis romantis, xtra large, realita cinta n rock'n'roll, quickie express, my heart, etc. some of them are even better than hollywood movies,, like nagabonar 2!! haven't seen it, but i definitely WILL and coming from my friends, the movie is greattttt...!

the music industry has developed much too. great new songs are coming out,, new singers emerge from nowhere, and some of them are actually good. gita gutawa, for example, she represented and had won the international music festival in Egypt. more and more indonesians are making this country appreciable internationally and raise it's reputation. in the sports section we have taufik hidayat, the hero of badminton, he had won several prestigious badminton championships such as thomas cup and the sudirman cup.

i realize now, that indonesia really has the potential to become one of the most leading countries. great natural resources, good human resources, but unfortunately, too great corruption,,and a terribly poor government.

can we grow? yes we can. the real question is: will the growth produce a good product or a defected product?
well, i can only hope for the best for my hometown :)
