it's autumn there. wish i' m a jumper :). able to go to any place at any time.
it's not that i dont appreciate my own country. i know where i'm belong to, i accept the good and the bad things. i'm proud to be a part of it.
it's just that there are things i can never forget. and being there is one of them.
sometimes i like to take a few steps backward, so that i can get a better view of what lies in front.
it is just the same story..i think it's better to go to some other place sometimes so that we can have a better picture about our own place.
this is what i'm trying to say to my family, friends and fellow citizens. open up your mind. open up your eyes. i dont mean to compare what's here and what's there.
be in my shoes and u will understand me. perhaps.

Salam, cik Liza.
Yup, been there and experienced that.
Sometimes, it is very difficult to talk to people who haven't (and some of them, can't) see things and we've seen them.
Sometimes when we are commenting on or about something, we are trying to say, "Hey! It is better if we do things this way, you know" but skeptical people (and some are also envious) always think that we are whining and complaining our country's shortcomings and that we are comparing for the sake of discriminating and belittling our own country. When in fact, we are just trying to voice out some opinion we brought back from oversea for the sake of betterment. And it is very, very tiring to talk to people who don't understand.
I guess that is what the writer of Si Tanggang Homecoming poem was trying to tell all of us! Hurm.
