Patriotism: Is it new in our country?


How many times have you seen on TV, Internet or on paper the articles regarding our National Soccer Team?? You might think plenty.. Well, to me it's plentisaurus!! Hell, it should be made into a new word just for them.

Hot news in the country used to be all about Ariel, Gayus or other nonsense religious views that were on the media and now we got to see something really fresh.. And I'm really talking about one particular individual, who has been the talk of the town in the past few weeks. Yes, non other than.. Irfan Bachdim, or the Indonesian version of Haley Joel Osment.
He's playing for Persema, which is the soccer league in Malang, East Java, and got chosen to play with the National Team, representing our lovely country, Indonesia. He's not only talented on the field, but he's somewhat good looking, good enough to be the idol of all the ABGs throughout Indonesia. Not to mention, having a gorgeous, voluptuous model girlfriend, who's none other than the granddaughter of Kwee Hong Sing, a well-known Persija player from the past. He sounds like a pretty good package! Anyhow, either it's him or Gonzales, Indonesians suddenly have the HOTS for their National Team, all because we won through and through with those other ASEAN countries.

These past few weeks Indonesia has been celebrating its victory toward our winning with all the other Asian teams that played us in Jakarta. We kicked some serious asses, especially Malaysia with 5-1, Thailand with 2-1 and the Philippines with 1-0. Well done, mates! But do you think that's enough? I don't think so. Like, hello?? This championship is only for ASEAN countries.. It's nothing compare to say, Asia Cup or something like that (I don't know, I don't follow soccer). People, don't get too hyped! Or even, just take it easy and see what will happen next. Just pray that everything will be alright. (read: Indonesia next match in Malaysia playing WITH Malaysia for finals.) All hell could break loose in this particular match. That's why.. Don't get your hopes up, just have hope.

TIMNAS...You are now being unfairly treated. Yes, coz all these times WE have never shown such enthusiasm, and now that a 'bule' managed to kick some goals -whatever naturalization you may call, he's still caucasian- and because one good looking Haley Joel Osment did a funny turkish victory dance after he made a goal for his team, people are sooo into you... No! That is wrong!! We are guilty of being so shallow. Maaf.

Anyway, in two more days we are going to kick some serious Upin and Ipin asses, and we hope that our faith lies from this final match. Though it's a small championship, we have to dream big. We should dream big. Indonesia is rising. Hell to the YEAH!

K.P. Bex Bachdim *dear gawd! oh just laugh!! HAHAHAHA*
