so i went to kebun raya bogor. took the morning KRL train from stasiun cawang to bogor and got in the angkot for 5 minutes ride to the main gate of kebun raya bogor.
we were about to attend an event from my husband office. a family gathering and team building kind of thing.
Arriving there we had no idea on which part of the park the event was being held. so we looked at the map and match the address and took some walk around the park following the direction.
we loved the walk for sure. it's been a while we didn't get any fresh air like this. At the park, there were many events, most of it were Acara Silaturahmi (related to idul fitri, offices usually gathered their employee together to meet and celebrate), and some study trip (or somewhat like that) from some schools. The events mostly took place in the field. The host built a stage with complete sound system, keyboard player, a tent to keep the stage safe and sound under the shade, and mini snack corner, and an MC.
There i saw (and heard) the MCs talking about games and whatever things that was (i believe) not even related to the event itself, live music, some kids lining up and sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce nicely on the ground.
Curious. Tried to overheard what they were doing (talking on the stage and singing and performing..). Here's what i heard and saw..
Pack of elementary school's student (like maybe around 200 kids or more) sitting on the ground in front of the stage where their (i assumed) teachers were singing dangdut song 'Apakah kau gadis atau sudah janda' (Titled: are you a girl/virgin or a widow?). And they (who were singin on the stage) pointed the microphone to the children and asked them 'what do you think? am i a girl/virgin or a widow?' AND the pack answer uniformly JANDAAAA.
i was like NooooooWaaaayyy!!! WTF!!!
(with my 5yo walking with me i could only curse out loud in my heart)
