This is not a very good week to me: I got an illness due to the rain. But the highlight of my week is an outrageous writing on one of my alumni on Unpar. Well, I had to admit that I like her style of writing. But then, I think her latest article has gone too far. H mm, essentially, her article addressed her opinion about one of the group in Facebook entitled “I GO TO HI UNPAR, THAT’S WHY I’M BETTER THAN YOU!”.
Okay, before I went there, I need to tell you guys that I really like my alma mater: Unpar’s International Relations which I had dreamed since high school. And even I slightly raised my eyebrows when I see the “THAT’S WHY I’M BETTER THAN YOU!” part it even disturb me more when I saw her article (you can read here: http://namakutephy.com/?p=533).
Well, I admired her idea to addressed another point of view towards our major. But then again, I just can’t stand with some of here outrageous idea. I’m not being rude but here it goes (NB: This article is also excerpt from some comments at her blog, in case you’re wondering).
Well, here’s a newsflash that I would like to address them: Life is not a fairytale, get used to it.
Firstly, I mean, come on! Can they hear themselves right now? All that junior do here is expressed their proud towards their alma mater! And all of the sudden, some of you using this opportunity to express their disappointments? And, some of them even addressed their derogatory comments to some of my lecture such as Mr. Bonggas Adhi Chandra.
Well, Secondly, I want to say something to one of them who was dissing some of our lecturers on Tephy’s blog:
“Mas Bonggas etc had done so much more to all of their juniors, while some of you had done nothing but whining about how cruel the world out there and suddenly blaming the handicaps your alma mater !”
I mean, when Ryan saying that he is proud about the accomplishment we get on PNMHII … surely, as a good alumni one should praised rather than gives unnecessary comments such as:
“and pls again, don’t mention PNMHII sbg pembanding yaaa,,, seriuss, ga ada apa2nya!!!!!!”
Even for a blog, I don’t see any means of give this comment other than so underrating his/her own alma mater.
And, the comment:
“mana nih yang bisa-bisanya bilang dosen yang gelarnya *beep!* itu bisa bikin garansi masuk deplu???? ngaca dong!”
Well, dude, do you even know the situations really are? If no, please don’t make such a lousy comment. Please, as an adult, we do know that one need to ensure themselves whether what they hear is true or not. And if you don’t know, don’t exaggerate.
The real world out there is really harsh, I know. But that’s why, some of us need something to hold on to and it’s called faith: which one of them takes form of our alma mater. If we don’t get a high self-esteem who can enhanced our spirit from our own alma mater … imagine how much harder life we face. Don’t be so judgmental on this case.
Thirdly, about the so-called “MUCH BETTER THAN YOU” part who’d maybe make people raised their eyebrows.
Some know well that it was just for the sake of good laugh. For those who exaggeratedly take this so personally that they even expressed their hatred (one-sided). Well, may God have mercy on their humorless soul.
And, as an attempt to add insult into an injury, I saw also another derogatory comment: Unpar got a “B” Accreditation.
Ah yes, about the question that Unpar is now get an “B” Accreditations
Well, I think the curiosity should instead addressed towards our governmental institution especially questioning their regulation to give “A”, “B” , “C” to some institutions.
What is the determination? Is it purely legitimized the quality of an institution? Go figure.
For example, one of the Int’l Relations Dept in Southern Part of Bandung has an “A” accreditation. Which is, questioned by some of their alumna since none of their methods of teaching are comparable to HI Unpar–and it is their own opinion that I quoted. (my brother went there, so in case you are wondering you can ask me personally).
So, I think we’d better also fairly questioning them instead babbling about how bad is our University.
Hmm, as a closing parts, I highlighted some of my rebuttal towards her comments on her blog:
“Oh, PLEASE yaaaa kawan-kawaaaan… Yuk mari yuk gw temenin lagi balik ke kelas BIHI buat belajar “Effective Reading.”
Comments: I got an “A” on BIHI, just for your information. And sorry if I sound so narcissistic, but I goes I did some justice on saying this instead of implicitly saying that you are stupid . (that’s her thing).
“In which point in my blog have I shown hatred towards Rean and his “fun fun we’re so young and silly and fun!” group?”
Comments: I did not only commenting on your hatred only but also some of commentators there. So, don’t mislead me. I get some point of your thoughts, but don’t blame for hoping rather mature talk for someone older than my age.
Well, about “shown hatred” things, I guessed point on second paragraph that symbolized your hatred:
“I swear I cannot muster up a proper reaction for about a milisecond, and then I felt this huge surge of disgust. Sure, it was probably made just for laughs and the person who set it up in the first place probably didn’t mean anything ill, but I can’t shrug off the feeling that I HATE the idea.”
And, uh, your comment below:
“Haven’t I mention that I KNOW that you guys are so fun and silly to come up with such group? Please ya, baca balik: I HATE THE IDEA. IDEA. Comprendo?
The IDEA that we could claim we are so much better without weighing in the indicators and see objectively. That IDEA is very petty and ignorant, and I’ll stop saying that when it stops screaming ignorance and pettiness.”
If you are so objective, well read your blog all over again. Newsflash: It’s not objective.
Lastly, after I read your part of comments which I quoted below:
“The “fun fun we are so young and fun” thing? I think not. Yeah, maybe I just became old and grouchy and so un-fun, SUE ME for having the balls to say what I think instead of just raising my eyebrows like others. “
I’m not going to sue you, that is so pointless. But then, sue me for addressing my opinion towards your opinion. I am not hating, people, but I guess someone need to be a little bit straightforward at this point:) Pardon my language.
