Another Bomb in Jakarta

This time Australian Embassy building is the victim =(. Some photos from the site: 1 2 3 4 5 6 - All photos courtesy of detik.com. More “indipendent” photos are here: 1 2 3. Do Indonesian have to suffer more? Here is my personal message for those terrorist:

Stop harrassing Indonesian people life! Enough with that terrorism act, we are very very tired with your action. Nothing good will come out from terrorism act like bombing or hostaging, NOTHING. Indonesian people are already suffered enough without this kind of act so stop your action. I really condamned this kind of action with every breath that I take. No justification on this kind of act because there is no reason to do such thing. I repeat, there are no justification for this kind of act, ever.

The ironic thing is even though that the victim are mostly Indonesian people, the effect of this kind of thing always have bad impact to, yes - you guess it right, Indonesian people also. Let see, when the 9/11 happened, Americans are still allowed to enter any country without so much hassle… but when those kind of things happened in Indonesia (remember, Bali bombing, Marriot bombing) then Indonesian are finding themselves to be banned to enter almost everywhere. See the irony? Indonesian are the victim from both side, we are the victim of the terrorism act and also we are the victim from the judgement that we are also part of the terrorist group. Isn’t that odd? Well, I have to say that it is so damn tragic. In Indonesian we have this saying “already fall down, get hit by the stair…”. I guess that saying really foreseen this kind of thing.

A big question tho… what in the hell that those terrorist want? I never get that…

Now, I am talking selflessly, this kind of action could possibly jeopardized my visa application. I am really really worried about it now. Hopefully the visa will come out soon without any glitch. I will need this visa to do my research because my thesis is totally depend on it. So wish me the best of luck, now I am really need this kind of amazing luck…

I know what you’re feeling. Few weeks after 9/11, entering US became almost impossible. When Bali bombing happened, the same thing happened, not the other way around.
