a question past midnight, and its answer.

why does one prefer to live in a foreign land?

because he can be at ease with himself there.

thus he feels home.

Home is where your heart is, isn't it ? And what's the story behind these 'home'sickness ? Are you asked to return to INS ?

Do SWOT analysis first! Mana yg lebih menguntungkan foreign/home land

Yang gampang2 aja lah...
Bikin perhitungan cost-benefit analysis dulu, trus liat mendingan stay atau hijrah.

Kalau buat jangka panjang bisa pake hitungan net present value aja yang gampang.

Huehehehe...
Financial analyst nih yeee

kalo kata Macaulay Culkin di Home Alone (1990) sih, "This is my house, I have to defend it."

mungkin memang bener ya pepatah lama yang bilang:

Lebih baik hujan emas di negeri orang"

when I was in France, I didn't feel as liberated as I had expected. Everyone looked at me like I was a freak (okay, so I probably am.. or was, but then again, it's EUROPE! Oh, wait, isn't France a racist country?)

Anywho, it was so uncomfy (probably also because my French was way below average). But anyway, I'm glad I came home safely.

Maybe it's not the same with you, since obviously you've spent a long time in Singapore where you don't really look that different (Caucasian vs. Mongoloid?)

I hope you'll enjoy your life here in Jakarta.

BTW, anonymous's & gatot's comments are sooo ridiculously annoying and idiotic that I feel the need to bitch about them here. So there.
