but
chinese (fair skin) or javanese (brown skin) indonesian girl, started to look same for me ....
especially in surabaya.

both speak same language :
swearing jancUK! (fu-k you!) when i accidentally bumped to them ....

That's Surabayan for you


Aww....

no wonder yer english is perfect, miubaby.. ahahah your nickname is funky..

so you're american indo then?

hahahh well I think most Indonesians would agree that it takes so much more for a person with darker complexion to be considered beautiful in Indonesia. They actually have to have extraordinary facial structure or body type. At the most they'd only be considered as "item manis"..

As for the opposite, I see many people who have average facial structure, but considered beautiful by most just because their fair skin. Why do you think the market sell mostly skin whitening cream and not skin tanner? Funny thing is, when I was in Indonesia last month, I realized that there were many people whose face are damn white, but brown skin everywhere else lol. Looked very weird.. From what I heard, some type of face cream (chemical peel) have become very popular.

I have another, but this one is a MONSTER i bet you wont be "aww" at him

Thanks!

I am 100% Indonesian, and I speak american english. But I'm not american indo heheh not sure what that means anyways?

I see others with better english than myself here though. Definitely better in writing anyways. The problem with English is, in Indonesia you dont get to practice much. So, you may be perfect in writing but not so much in practice. If English become mandatory at least in the workplace, that might help Indonesia move forward in the business world.

@pus: Hahaha, what do you mean? He's cute! And if he's naughty, I'll have more fun torturing him

@miu: You are absolutely right! I am quite confident about my written English, but I'm very conscious about my pronunciation. But about making it a mandatory, I dunno.... Sure English is important, but it's not the only factor which determines success. The people of countries such as Japan or Korea are not very good with English either, but who could deny their prominence in term of economic growth? And the opposite is also true. There are countries with good command of English yet they remained in the similar position such as ours (or even worse).

Bhas : that cat is a fat lazybum who always smells like pee, if he were human he would be a vodka breath russian fat @$$ whose brain cant cope up with his penis

How could that be? Cat is a very clean animal. If he's that way, it can only mean one thing: you're a lousy owner
Give him a bath, for God's sake!

I do give him a bath (once a month)! but he Pacaran all the time, after he got back form Pacaran he smells like Pee again.

Some pics from London:

wat I mean by american indo is dat are you an indonesian residin in the states?

and why caiman? no gud jobs in good ol' uncle sam?

if i found you like this in the streets, i'd give you 1000rp.

Nice pics, Kresna. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know they have Bali Bombing Memorial too....




Babylon Exhibition....?! Cool...!
I wish I can see it.

I had an ok job in the states, could have applied for H1B Visa. But NOTHING beats free tax in Cayman Greatest thing of all is CI$ is worth 20% more than US$. When I was offered the opportunity I just had to jump on it

The only downside is, I am having to deal with little idiosyncrasies of the locals once a while, but thats okay..

Ouch, thats sooo embarassing!!

miubabyxx

Dimana kamu tinggal sekarang miubabyxx? I read it was Canada? I know they tax you to death there -sales and income. Oh yeah terimah kasih banyak untuk kamu menjawab pertanyaan ku
In the picture are you the one who wears the red shirt on the right hand side?
I think my sister speaks in English at her office as a business language because it is international staff in Jakarta.

^aaaargh I hate you.... it's so cold out here I want the bright sun to shine on me!
Oh yeah.. here are two pictures of Zurich city life

show us some of your abs...




ran outta tissue?...

welllllll life is hard and complicated enough, why fret about silly little things! :p Its all about taking risks and not letting good opportunities pass you by, life is short and you only get 1 chance. When I'm old and wrinkley, I wouldnt want to look back and think -shoulda coulda woulda- -

Hmm back to Indonesia, maybe, there is always a possibility. For now, I always plan for a visit at least once a year..

Do you live in Jakarta?

I spent some time in Canada, but just for a few months.. and yes Canada does tax you to death. About 30% to 40% of your annual income. And of course that doesnt include the GST and PST when you shop. I live in the Cayman Islands now, its in the Caribbean.

Yep I am the one in red. Neat, ya being able to speak the international language fluently may not be the most important thing, but it certainly help in many ways in the business world.

Well those pics are the only ones fit for public viewing from my trip

How long have you been living in the US? I take it that you dont visit Indonesia often?

Dude I posted tons of pics!!

check page 97..

want to see yours photo not postcard

c'mon its not that bad lol. without all that tax canada wouldnt have free health care, excellent infrastructure and good education. lol

I became so fat in this holiday:P All these parties.

^You're still hot as hell!


These words really got me thinking. Thank you, miubabyxx. BTW I browsed pages 97-103 but I still couldn't find your pic

to each his own!

I bet you wouldnt think the same if your paycheck is cut damn near half every year. The more you earn, the more you get taxed. How is that fair? Obviously you earn more than the average joe because you work harder, a system that dont appreciate that.. kind of sucks :p

The only way free health care can benefit you is if you have disabilities, you are old or if you're very sick, BUT ooohh not tooooo sick. Because if you are too sick, you might die waiting in line for free health care.

Now if you are just healthy normal person, does the free health care really worth almost 40% of your income EVERY year? No way, if you ask me :p I can count on one hand how many times I've been to the doctor's office in the past 2 or 3 years. I would gladly pay $100 or heck even $300 a visit just for when I need the treatment. And of course, the health insurance from work would help a great deal too if needed be. One thing for sure though, health insurance does not cost 40% of my annual income.

Granted, Canada does have excellent infrastructure and good education.. but you can pretty much find the same qualities in other first world countries. And those other countries dont rape their people from their hard earned money..

Welfare money for bums who are too lazy to work or teenage mothers who have babies just because they want absolute freedom from their parents. Why work, when you can get free money from the government? Except that its not really free money.. somebody has to pay, and unfortunately it is you. :p

hah agreed!



While you're still young, man..!

On pg 97, there should be some pics from my Taman Safari trip, the lions and tigers etc. I am in the very last pic, with a few of my good friends.

Anyways, some pics from NYE!





My failed attempt for camping lol damn wind was just way too strong..



As the sun sets..



It's time for NYE Dinner




Last but not least, my pride and joy for the new year!

What a beautiful scenery! It must've been a great year-end celebration for you!

lol i've lived long enough in this country to not even care how much im being taxed. besides, with all the tax i get an amount returned from the government anyways.

id rather have my govt pay for my kid's prep and high school and pay less for food and housing ... besides canada isnt as rich as everyone thinks compared to other countries, hence everything revolves around taxing.

and with all this tax, standard of living is still at par if not better than most first world countries. pretty good for a heavily taxed population...

if you're living a single person working for your own income, canada is not the ideal place.

but to raise a family, canada is the place.

interesting, where in canada do you live?

^ ontario.

im livin in canada
the tax is very socialist.

but in return, its pretty much stable economy here , one of da best transport.
something that you can live with any kind of income, without being choked to death because of economy situation.

housing price is beautiful here , cheaper than ontario har har ...


I would like to apply PR, my current status is guy with work permit
wish me luck

Im currently in Jakarta for hols.. visitin my grandpa.. Im half Indonesian you see.. but I dun live here

where in Indonesia do you hail from, babes?

That's a nice ride Miubabyxx! and lovin the color on it 2

Truck-driving girls are hot.

and that steak looks damn steaky!!!!

Not bad at all, had a quiet NYE though no big party for me this year

Ha.. Ontario is pretty big lol

I used to live in Ottawa, housing prices are pretty high there

good point, I guess when you are raising a family you do get more tax return. And ya I can see how a family benefit from the free health care, children can really cost you.

Ahhh jakarta for holiday, always fun!

Where do you live when you're not on holiday?

I'm also from Jakarta.. the city of fog and heavy traffic with 100000 millions motorbikes lol

ya just here to visit my grandpa..

why dont you guess where im from, babes?

and yes the traffic is wicked!

i live in burlington. the closer you are to hamilton and niagara, housing gets cheaper.

Man that looks good.

Thanks! It is the love of my life at the moment lol
