Dum dee Dum

I had to go back early yesterday cos' my stomach hurt...from not eating....I only had two curry puffs from this morning, and by noon my tummy started to make beautiful music, but since I was busy with a lot of things, I decided to let it create more beautiful music until it's tired...but I was wrong, it never got tired!!! so I rushed back at 4, cooked myself some instant noodle with minced meat and bak choy and watched tv...ahhh..perfect.

And while watching tv, I was attracted with this program on RCTI (an Indonesian channel) called "Minta Tolong!" (Help!)...it's a reality tv at its best, where they give out money, lots of em' to anyone willing to help a victim out of trouble...the victims are usually real people, not actors who are in a very difficult situation, ranging from a young mother with a baby whose trying to find her missing husband, to a little girl whose trying to sell off partially burnt schoolbooks in order for her to buy new ones...Here is where you get to see real human nature..but usually the target here are the needy people,not the rich (As Indonesians are either waay too rich or waaay too poor)

I cried today when the person who won the money was actually a homeless elder woman who live under a bridge with her husband,eating anything edible that they can find, and she is willing to give out cardboards that she used as a 'rug' to a woman who was finding cardboards to fix her own walls at home.

Never have I felt more relieved to be where I am now,sitting on my comfy chair, a roof over my head,internet access and a money (although not much)...and yet I keep complaining why my life sucks...

oh here's an episode where an old man goes all around town asking if anyone wants to use his shoe polishing service, just so in order that he could buy medicine for his grandchild. It's in Indonesian and there's no sub I'm afraid..
