I love You, because we are different

We are different
That's why we're meant for each other

There are too many crowd out there complaining for the difference among us
Most people said 

It's OK to be different

but in fact, they keep complaining those bumpy road along the way. 
so it comes to the random thought of me

What is the meaning of difference for them?

Or maybe, the sentence hadn't finished yet, maybe they meant to say 

It's OK to be different (as long as i can handle it)

So once they think it's too hard for them to handle, they wont take it as a difference anymore..
It's a HARM of their lives. 


i don't wanna be such a hypocrite, sometimes i also put those sentences on the bracket as well, but it doesn't mean that if there are few differences that i couldn't handle become something that would threaten my life or something. 

the most i would do is just Questioning 

why on earth would this thing happen? 

Right o, it's not my first post about differences and such things alike. 
it might not something new, but i love to talk about this matter because i live surrounded by the difference and somehow i'm happy and most importantly I SURVIVE

Thursday, April 15th 2010. I read my new novel to start the Day then when clock struck 10.40 am, friends of mine invade my room then for about 15 minutes later, they already throw such a little crowd in my (not so big) room. Then we made our way to XXI to watch MY NAME IS KHAN

we are so left behind (I KNOW!!!)... But it's better late than nothing, now i'm hanging on this aphorism. Anyway, it's such a Must SEE movie. 

You guys would easily found the details about this movie, therefore i wont tell you the synopsis. 

in its own way, it tells you lots of thing about differences. That it isn't something that you need to fight for, because you're already born with it. It's God's deed. Then if you believe in God or Whatever it is who rule this massive world, would you still complaining and fight for eliminating those differences? 

then i'd ask you one interesting question 

if we are now the same, would we still arguing each other?

No wonder, i'd say HELL YEAH. What do you think?


I heard uncertain voices say "NO", but definitely more voices say "YES"


So, if it's a YES, why would we fight for those differences? why would we hate others who don't behave, think, and dress like us? 


Why oh Why my Dear friends??


one of the scene in this movie pictured how the non moslems treat the moslems or the people's who they suspect as moslems. Not nice at all !!!

They could've done something better than that! For God sake, they are SMART and for me, it's not an action to protect their selves but really, it's such a humiliation for their own selves. 

MISCONCEPTION and Surely 1 sided point of view is the main cause.     

i am in a state very confident to shout this phrase out loud. 
why so? 

Because i -once- lived in among those non-moslems. 
i felt how hard it is to be a minority figure among those majority

i knew how much effort you need to make your smooth entrance among those people who have pretty different cultural background, skin color and not to mention the expressed emotion. 

i had the intrapersonal fight about should i do my religion responsibilities while those people didn't even pick any religion as i do or shouldn't i? 

i experienced  how hard it was to explain something that i wasn't even know exactly what it was about. Jackpot!!!


i felt the confusion about how should i behave as an Indonesian among those Australian, while there's a 'hurricane' between Indonesia-Australia diplomacy. 

I know those things perfectly and to be honest, it was kinda bumpy road for me. For a while, i lost my track and i'm proud to declare that.

i wasn't fail. i fell but then i was back on my own feet. Also, i got the special Bonus.. I am now not the same old Nhira, i am the Brand New Nhira.

Khan acted as genuine as he is. he said everything which cross his mind. he said YES when he thought that's the only word he should say and also his heart shone because of his humanity. 

was it enough to make others accept him as the way he is? that he's a moslem? 
No... It was not. 


i acted as genuine as i could be. i smiled to pretty much everyone i passed by. i respected older people and i heart those little kids. i tried to explore everything. i didn't argue much and i tried to live my life to the fullest. 

When abu bakar Ba'asyir was released from jail and from any other accusations, my heart pumped hard. he was accused for the Bali Bombing and few australians are the victims. it's really natural if they strafe me with questions about the released and it's not impossible if then they perceive me as their enemy. I couldn't even dare to imagine how mean they would be to me. NOT EVEN ONCE...

i tried to cheer myself though 

you've done such a tremendous thing Nhira. You never did any harm to them. why worry?

Well,, Were those good deeds enough? for most of moslems or Indonesian in America, those things were NEVER enough. And i thought, these australians will do pretty much the same thing.  God, screw Me!!


Then i realize that God loves me so much for not putting me on that kinda situation. my friends' and neighbor's reaction toward this matter was really unbelievable. 

Instead of alienating me or  offending me, they were really supportive (if not) wise. 
they once asked 

what do You think about Ba'asyir Nhira?

i had no answer but 

personally, i don't heart him. even tough they said he's clean. i think he's not that clean.. although i'm an Indonesian, i don't support the adjudication.

everything i said were really something that cross my mind. i didn't try to please anybody but myself. 

And when finally one of them said 

Listen Nhira,,, If you think we would across you just because this Ba'asyir thingy or anything about indonesia-australia diplomacy, we have to say we're sorry to disappoint you. We are NOT going to do that to You. most importantly, how can we do that to you?

i stood in real silence

couldn't even say a word or even breath..

You are such a nice girl. You smile almost everytime. You never do any harm to us and we believe you won't (he smiled). This business is about we and you. even tough there's a war between our country, it means NOTHING. Because all that matter is about YOU whom we see eveyday, hang out with us everyday, and smile to us everyday. Damn others!!

WOW!!! it was a breath taking moment

i could do nothing but said 

Thanks, That's very sweet of You all

I wasn't even dare to think this moment would happen, not even a sec

but it happened..

those people who live in Manypeaks, about 40kms in the south of Albany tought me how you should see someone through his heart

those people who always work really hard in the farm have a lot better understanding about differences and how to cope with that. 

 3 of us are different in skin colors, culturally background and mother tongue.

i am from Indonesia, jasmin is originally from germany and Kate is the australian.

can't we be best friends? 

 see the difference here? 

are we all alike? 

No..

Then should we hate each other because we are different?

Family isn't a term for groups of people who share the same blood,

but also emotionally bound. 

This is My Family..

 They are the Best parents in the whole world..

Proudly to say, they are from 2 different countries and cultures

and they share the same language called LOVE

It's not wrong, It's not right. It's just different

and there's nothing wrong about living in the differences

You know what? the simplest word i know is "I", the sweetest word i know is "LOVE" and the only thing that remind me of that is 'YOU'

i LOVE You my Dear friends and family, because we are DIFFERENT
