  5. Welp that's really unfortunate
  6. you forgot the words "very conservative" in the middle of the sentence
  7. Updates from Indonesian Election What we know The incumbent Joko Widodo is winning based on quick count and exit polls (which means the world lose a Trumpish candidate) Official results to be announced on 22 May. As of today the result is around 56-44. What is funny Both sides claiming each other as fraudulent (classic) The losing candidate supporters claimed the election committee server is defective because they used free Linux The incumbent basically does nothing, but the losing guy held a winning party and saying the survey are lies and manipulated. Several unsuccessful attempts to hack the election server are found. As the losing candidate supporters are really convinced, many of them fallen to the trick of a guy who pretends to show them how to prevent election server from being hacked via Command Prompt (it is actually a way to wipe all your harddisk) What is sad At least 250 polling station workers passed away during their duty due to exhaustion or accidents. Cramming 5 kinds of election (Presidential, Upper House, Lower House, Provincial Council, City Council) to a single day in order to increase turnout is a bad idea.
  8. If insidethegames interface is "bad", Around The Rings' must be a f****** disgrace

  12. I couldn't understand people are craving to watch Avengers... Even those who already watched it buy another ticket a week later to rewatch Even I know a guy who fainted in a cinema toilet because he hold his pee for the movie
  13. Remember this guy? After faking the scene above and a car accident, he was finally tried and jailed for 15 years. But after 8 month in prison he pretends to be sick (again) and requested a hospital treatment for his heart condition yesterday. And he is caught eating Padang food restaurant in the hospital (Padang food is famous for curry-like dishes and oily stuff, very good for your heart ).
  14. The only thing that made interested in the finals
  15. He's basically signing all the invitation for major badminton events
  16. In fact, also gold in men's double which means Algeria stopped Nigeria from sweeping all gold.
  17. We also have this stuff in Java called janur kuning, a slightly curved "sign" made of palm leaves with names of the bride and the groom hanging on it. It is usually put at the nearest intersection of the wedding location. People often jokingly said "as long the janur is not erected, you still have the chance (to snatch or marry someone's fiancee)"
  18. Well in Indonesia it depends of the ethnic group... But a basic Islamic wedding will consist of: 1. Delivering gifts to the bride 2. Doing an akad, usually in the bride's house or a mosque. Basically in front of family and friends, the groom will have to say "I wed (bride's name) with xxx as dowry". Then the official will ask to those present whether the akad is legal or not (of course everyone will agree unless you are making a reality show or soap opera ) 3. Have a wedding reception (usually this often happen on the road(!) and causes road closure). The bride and the groom with their families will sit at the "pelaminan" where the coming guests will congratulate the couple first before enjoying the meal. Different ethnic group will have stuff like bridal shower or certain ritual dances.
  19. So it is postponed, yes? I was just like "oh sh*t I forgot to post" and ready to apologize lol
  20. In the mixed doubles however, Yaqiong definitely got some health issues. And they keep playing in order to keep their points.
  21. Yes, they are... The first time women are allowed was in 1959 Btw, most average Indonesian attention to women military personnel is a bit "wrong". Mostly some random beautiful personnel became viral or people keep focusing on the controversy when hijab was allowed as part of uniform for those who wish to wear it
