For our project report, deb and i are supposed to 'predict' the possible developmental trajectories of Ind0nesia.

Like seriously.

how are we to do that without a crystalball.

but since we're supposed to come up with a "best case" and "worst case" scenario, i volunteered to do the latter considering it is Ind0nesia we're talking about - the country which is already very screwed up as it is. i thought that if the economy continues with whatever the hell they are currently doing, then realistically speaking, it should end up as the worst case scenario bah.

and just as i was starting on my report.. BEHOLD - an earthquake in sumatra today - the very day i am typing my report! it just cannot get any more happening than this, can it?

In essence, my predictions:-

the ABSOLUTELY Best Case Scenario:
Ind0nesia miraculously discovers overnight that she sits on an infinite supply of goldmines. Jackpot! (Who needs a good government now? Can those useless economic reforms proposals!)

the ABSOLUTELY Worst Case Scenario:
Terrorists continue blowing up themselves in the city, earthquakes continues shaking the country to no end, avian flu wipes out half the population.

Ridiculous as it sounds, the above can actually be true. They just need to be phrased in a more diplomatic way. >.<

(on a side note, predicting worst case scenario pretty much feels like predicting doomsday, which is totally my cup of tea given my rather pessimistic nature. Yea, maybe the world will end tomorrow.)
