suddenly realised how inter-racial marriages in Indonesia are such a no- no thing. my chinese catholic indonesian cousin has been together with this malay guy for four years.. and finally, they have decided to get married.. alright all along it has been a hush hush relationship, but even so, for me, even if i heard of such news, i would be happy! i mean, a happy couple are finally going to get married. they can accept each others' differences, find happiness with one another.. i know parents and family members have some say in one's marriage..but at the end of the day, the union is still between the both of them! what's wrong with inter-racial marriages? What the couple need right now is the blessings of family and friends, not discrimination or whatsoever. There has already been one inter-racial marriage in the family. things being ugly at first, but eventually accepted. Why must they allow the same situation to occur again. A marriage is supposed to be a joyous occassion, the union of 2 persons in love. I know i have no say, just stating my opinions here..but i hope that eventually, they will be able to get the blessings from my side of the family. well each family has their own set of problems to deal with, and i have to say this, i am already more fortunate than most people are.

ok, done with my random ramblings of the day.. take care people! (=
