I just read Nissa's blog.
CRAP!
It reminded me.. that..
I didn't blog on that day when history was made!
I was elated too, to know that Obama won.
And how dare I didn't write it down here!
For me to read in the future, how happy I was!

"You may say 'So what? He's just another president of the US, thousands of miles away from here'. Well, I happened to learn that whatever happen in the west, will affect the whole world in one way or another. And I don't fancy to have another world war being on the verge of errupting. I might not be accurate in my knowledge, but I truly hope Obama will bring about some humanities around."

But, I say:

"Ooooobama! The guy who was once in Menteng 1 elementary school in Indonesia."

It concerns me too, u know. Because he was once studying in Indonesia, my country. Isn't that a "wow"?

Menteng students overjoyed with Obama's win

The Jakarta Post | Wed, 11/05/2008 3:02 PM | Jakarta

"Obama... Obama... Obama... We love you!" yelled hundreds of students from all grades in a Menteng elementary school in Central Jakarta on Wednesday, as they watched results come in for the U.S. presidential election.

Students and teachers were overjoyed to suspend classes, gather in a 1,500 square meter ballroom and witness how a former student of the school became elected the next president of the United States.

Headmaster Kuswadiyanto said the teachers and students had been starting their school day differently during the past few days.

"Every morning before lessons start, we've been praying for Barry, hoping for him to win the election," Kuswadiyanto said, as quoted by kompas.com.

As tallies on the television screen grew and confirmed Obama's win, all the students expressed their happiness by running around, scattering all over the place, dashing out of the ballroom and roaming the schoolyard even though rain was pouring down.

Obama's victory was also their victory. They were proud that the one-time Menteng student had became the leader of the most powerful country on the planet. "I want Obama to come here so we can talk with him," said Ajo, a fifth grader.

The teachers said the school would pray for Obama again on Thursday. "We want to express our thankfulness, so we will continue praying for him.... Today we are just enjoying this victory with the students," Kuswadiyanto said. (and)

AND!

I just realised something.
Isn't it amazing, that the world's most populated Muslim nation - Indonesia, can now be more supportive towards America, through the new leader - Obama?
You know how anti-America most of the radical Muslim Indonesians were, but now..
Everything, well, seems to change a little bit.
Well, it's fine if the rationale used to be supportive towards him is just because he once studied in Indonesia..
The bottom line is that, hey behold, Indonesians are supporting a leader in USA!

Yeah. Not only Indonesians.
But also the whole world, especially those groups in certain countries who used to be anti-America, will now see this world's great power in a more positive light - through a figure of a" black" Barrack Obama.

BUT..
Don't judge a book by its cover.
It's not over. It's just the beginning.
How he represents the majority group, through his physical figure, is not the "thing" after all.
We should all see how he works things out.

Don't just be a dumb Obamaniac (or any other politician-maniac) without knowing anything about the policies etc.

But well..
I do hope that he really meant what he'd said throughout all his campaigns about making a change.
I, personally, believe that he will fulfill most of the things he said.
(but once again, we'll see)

PEACE IN THE WORLD.
STOP THE COLD WAR (that still secretly continues).

GOGOGO OBAMA!
(make Indonesia proud too, hehehe) <--- oops, excuse me, my inner thought said so hehe..
