Nepotism ain't a joke

Gaes, today I would post my second article ..... Sorry not sorry but now would be about my perspective in political environment.

The thing is, these kind of habits might already be rooted on us, and we didn't realize this at all.

--

Yey!

Recently I went to my family's house ..... Guess what? I was called Ahoker and Jokower tbh. But since it's told as a Joke ...... Let's take it as a joke ya.

Yups, like always, in every "family's conversation" there would always be that person who ..... quite "dominant", and what I mean is "ceplas-ceplos". This person would take any information directly, choose what they liked, and told everyone proudly about their perspectives. It's funny tho since what I was doing is ..... observing and follow the flow.

Yups, after taking several minutes, I conclude I am not the only Jokower in that surrounding. But the different between me and them are .... I support central government -which is refer to Jokowi as President- because his nicely done Jobs to provide any infrastructures for not only Java centric, but also in the eastest part of Indonesia. Despite our debt keep increasing, but I guess in the near future we would take the advantages of this investment, right?

The other part of Jokower, supporting Jokowi because ..... Jokowi's already being "besan" or law of Nasution ...... Simple. This kind of reason somehow unacceptable because its what you called Nepotism, right? I mean, besides seeing this person as relatives, why don't we see someone based on their capability, suitability, ideas, and other factors lah. One thing I supposed, what makes Medan or North Sumatera moved further and beyond are ..... These "toxic" habits!

As one of the most rich culture provinces, having 8 main tribe, and hundred of clans, these habits often leads to huge nepotism tho. Whenever 1 clan had more power, the organization structure would be full with this clan or .... any relatives clan. These habits ain't a joke and can't be tolerated in the future. Reminder, if one person being a "Big" and have more "Power", perhaps it's all because his/her dedication for one job, not because He/she was born as your clan. No, not at all.

Things I learned from Naruto, even if you're literally love and proud for your clan, in terms of urgency, Country most likely the most important ones, even though you should sacrifice your clan's existence. And it's cool af, right? Agreed !

Day 1 in Medan would be about HER

Merliana Jasri Sipayung

One of my besties so far, been being best friend with her for 8 years from now. We have this one group called Genk-Gong, whenever we have this "Geng" period during the time.

As I also knew, those "friendship" that has been through for more than 7 years, most likely would last forever. And looking forward to do that!

Our quality time begun with ..... creating our e-KTP together. Haha. Just like me, she hasn't recorded her biological identity for e-KTP at all. In fact, quite confusing since she's only 1km away from Camat office. Oh yeah, she even recorded this, just because her old KTP been lost. Period.

Yups, during this time, we used to create a quality conversation. Mostly about our current life, also about why she could lose her iphone, also what kind of activities she used to have so far. Well well, when I was junior high school, merli was one of top 3 students loh. I mean, she's extremely ambitious to change her family's life, economically. Go girl! Show your "Boru Panggoaran" power !!!! She's one of several person that shaped the best of me also. And makes me have different "way of thinking" compared with my siblings tbh. I changed, I am more grateful than ever before, since I was being friend with her. We're not only talking about "Strong" girl loh, but also talking this "full-empathize" girl to her surroundings. She used to have several personal mission for changing North Sumatera in the future, especially changing the way of thinking youth, for not being corrupt, colluse, and nepotism - which one of main North Sumatera's problem-.

Well, after recording our e-KTP. Guess what? My ID Card can be taken on MARCH 2018! THAT'S 3 MONTH FROM NOW LOH. Goddamn it government, the reason always about Blanko !

So basically I need another way kan .... which is having some kind of resi or "proof" that's currently my ID Card in the middle of process. You know what ..... I need to go to Pakam (about > 10 km from here) to get the fucking proof.

Or, get some help from the "birocrazy", pay them several tenth K, and keep my hands clean
.
.

Me, asked my parent about it, and it's something "OK" for him tho. And take the option since I have limited time :"( My integrity somehow had lost hiks

Then, Merli, with her intuition, didn't want to do it at all because her "Heart" feeling "it's not right". What a pure and lovely girl bgt ga si </3. Although, she's literally need this because she needs the old number from her Iphone ..... She keep her integrity, and get her hands dirty :") Just go girl !

Time passed.

I forgot my phone, but we keep going. We have a lunch in KFC. Get some chicken, and eat. She ordered "Choco Chick" which I literally don't recommend to you at all.

We continue our conversation about Economy, Management, Finance, etc (What the hell ga si), but this is something cool to share since her background in Economy is extremely ok, while me still learning Business Strategy and MBA from cheap online course in Udemy. It's legit as fuck.

And then .... We're also talking about our family, which talking about our little brothers that's hard to control, egois, ego-centric, no clear vision through their life, even didn't want to study unless been seeing or told cqcqcqcq

"Kok it's easier to be someone's mentored yah rather than our family. I mean, my mentee sometimes called me for 2 hours and talk about anything to get some life's hack or solution. But for our brothers? Cqcqcq can't say anything at all lah"

"OMG RT AF Mer. Literally feel the same lah, I used to be mentee for several of my junior, and could maintain their academic record even being one of most outstanding also in our faculty sih. But it's really hard to encourage our brother yaps"

Huft, conversation's quality keep increased, and it's 4 hours already loh ! Time and space should tear us apart, she should go to Pakam for getting her ID Card's resi, and me ..... need to achieve several things before returning to Jakarta.

D1 is rock! Can't wait to D2 -which is probably would be my me time exploring Medan- and D3 which is probably about little reunion to my friends from HOMPIMPA!

Hiks, unfortunately I didn't get any moment to be captured lah, since I forgot to bring my phone back then. But thanks to that, we could bring quality conversation to the table, right?

Ganbatte !

Cloudiness of Jakarta - Cloud in Perspective, Cloud at its best

00:14 rafi 2 Comments

Cloud

/Kloud/

1, a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.

2. a state or cause of gloom, suspicion, trouble, or worry.

Speaking to the devil, the second definition ain't got no right tho. Cloud simply a metamorphosis of water vapor, to liquid or icy. Bouyant tendency as a starter, but thanks to the characteristic of water itself, makes one moist adiabatic system, which created the 'Capitalist' system to get the support from its environment

Krik krik krik.

Oke, as a Meteorologist, we saw atmosphere in a unique way.

If you saw Clouds and feel the Wind, then you saw and feel those, right?. But not for my brain ..... Automatically, it leads me to ask "How much energy on that cloud? Where's the wind coming from? Where's the wind going to? If there's a wind, there's a pressure differences, right? Where is it going? There must be low pressure area! What happened there? What makes it? What trigerred that? Is it going to rain, soon?" And the list keep asked!

H Stands for High Pressure Area, L stands for Low Pressure Area

This kind of point of view has trained my thought to be more curious, asking "Why", and find the answered by myself. Just like this Article I wrote about : Analisis Mekanisme Hujan di Kota Bandung or Kupas Tuntas Alasan JLNT Tidak Boleh Dilewati Pengendara Bermotor or What Makes Bandung So Windy etc. Sorry for writing it in Bahasa tho, since what I want to do is touching readers as much as possible.

Oke focus. Perhaps it is me being overthinking, but sometimes, I will have this quite moment, to enjoy things I should grateful for. Even for seeing these kind of landscape, where you could see much of cloud formed, affect sunset and this "Hot, Humid" seasons. I captured several of them, post it to my Insta story, some can't be saved due to I forgot saving it. But these worth it also kok, and quite astounding.
