i'm dying because of school. dont ask.

my extended essay needs extension for submission date.

anyway, hello. howre you doin? cus i'm doing okay. in fact, i just found the 300 thou that ive lost for so long hahaha. nice :) today during our family jog (-.-) my dad lectured about history again. habibie one of our former leaders suggested an expansion of indonesian scholars in the states, so they could go back and lead the country in a more rational manner. so thousands of potentials were being sent to the states, and as they came back habibie said there is a need of payback by giving them a higher seat in the governmental level of heirarchy. which was pretty sensical knowing that they were liberally trained for such jobs. (and i'm not saying this in a non-religious way, but realistically) so he put them into such seats expecting (and this one's reliable) that they would create better change because he knew that in that part of the world, they would learn about diversity and how does politics & science work in a more developed country so they could create a more stable manner for politics & developments, then you can move on to the welfare of our people. for them it was like, you cant be religiously correct unless you're smart at that particular field. because in order to make it happen, you only need one base of resources: smart people.

as the project went on, government employees disagree in the placement of heirarchical seats. for they (those scholars) were seated above the local graduates in an instant. so critics through media was overwhelming, despite the brilliant objective habibie and the project was stopped as the country's expenses keep on rising.

thus, those people ended up working for boeing and other humungous, genius-requiring, companies that demands a lot of research in it. if they were here within the government, at least the poor will suffer less.

so now, it was brought up again. within the speech of some minister, i believe. for the record, it was running 30 years ago. but i guess somebody spilled the coffee on the winning spot.



ok.. long.

my dad also lectured about singapore. how it was so different in the 70s. no tall buildings, very limited resources, no good transports, no nothing. it was a really quick development. my dad's friend used to sleep beside a pork farm, because even the country was really poor, let alone the people.

really, i'm amazed by how they grew so quickly.




ok so. tag people! its so lame.
