Do you remember about Tsunami that happened in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD), Indonesia on 2004 ?? That's a really really horrible disaster.
There's so many victims, peoples died, many kids lost their family, many homeless person, and many more..

Okay, I'm not gonna talking about that worst memory because there's sooo many other things that we can talk about NAD like Tourism Objects (oh.. its my favorite things to discuss. :D).

Well, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, now its called Daerah Istimewa Aceh is one of province in Indonesia located in Sumatera Island, the capital city of DI Aceh is Banda Aceh.

So, what kind of tourism objects that we can find in DI Aceh ??

1. Lampuuk Beach
Lampuuk Beach is really beautiful with the white sand and fresh air, it means that no poluted (well you know it is hard to find a place without air polution).
In this place visitor can swimming, fishing, tanning, surfing, sailing, diving, and many other funny things.
Around the beach we can find a golf course with a wonderful sea as a background. Sounds cool, right ? Oh, donb't leave this town before you see the beautiful sunset.
It will be unforgottable moment for you cause lampuuk beach is popular with its very beautiful sunset.

2. Weh Island
Weh island is little volcano island located in northwest Sumatera Island. Largest city on Weh island, Sabang, is a city located in the western Indonesia.
Weh island is popular with the ecosystem, its rich with species under the sea. There's so many beautiful coral reef and rare sea animals. So, I think this place is heaven for diving lovers. But you must be more careful because in the beach at this island we also can find the big mouth shark!

3. Gunongan
Gunongan has erected by Sultan Iskandar Muda as a private playground and bathing for his wife Phuto Pang (from malaysia). Gunongan is a symbol of his love for his wife.
Long time ago, Phuto Pang feel lonely because Sultan Iskandar Muda is too busy to accompany her, and it make her missed Pahang, her hometown.
Realize about it, Sultan Iskandar Muda thinking about make Gunongan that means little mountains because you know there's many little mountain around Pahang. So, he think his wife would feel like she's home. Isn't it sweet and romantic ?? :))

I'm just back from my short but AMAZING holiday . I went to Kemala Beach in Balikpapan, East Borneo with my friends, about 3-4 hours from my house but actually it's the first time I went there. Well, there isn't much i can say bout this place, it's just wonderful . Look at these pictures. Its all natural without editing or something like that. So, enjoy these pictures... :)




















So ?? Wanna join me to visit this place next time ???? :P

Well... well... well...
I'm sorry for not updating this blog. Eww... My blog's look so boringg.
I was do national examination, it's my last year in high school (I'm go to college only few months later and it means I'm gettin' old!). So, I have to study hard and left my blogs for a while.

But I'm back NOW.......!! :)

Mmm.... What I wanna write about then??
Ah, I know.... Everybody's love musics right?? Musics can beat up our day, change the sadness into the happiness, give us more energy, and of course music is the really really best friend of dancing.
That wouldn't be fun if we just dance without musics. Ah.. you must be agree with me.

Then what kind of musics do you like? Pop? Rock? Jazz? Rnb? Punk? Hardcore? Or Classic?
I think those are just usual music genre. I'm gonna introduce you about one of the music genre that you just can find in Indonesia. It called "DANGDUT"

Dangdut is a mixture of an indian's music and malay's music. Actually, In Indonesia, dangdut isn't too popular. Maybe because its kinda traditional and sometimes it used a tariditional instrument like flute or kettledrum. But on this age, there's also modern dangdut that mixture of traditional dangdut with some modern genre like pop, rock, or maybe hip hop.
Indonesian's peoples doen't really like modern dangdut, i don't know maybe because its sounds not unique anymore.

But, that doesn't matter. Dangdut still Indonesian's musics and as the good indonesian people, I think I have to post it on my blog and let peoples around the world know about this thing.




Click here to watch the recent modern dangdut's video. The singer is a son of A dangdut's King. :)

I have 3 days free time and I think I'm gonna post an article in this blog.
I wasn't take care of this blog for a long times.
Oh my God. I do really miss this blog.

Well,
yesterday me and 13 friends going to cinema. We want to watch an indonesian thriller movie.
the title of this movie is "Kuntilanak Kamar Mayat" or in english, it called "The ghost of Mortuary"

Actually I'm not really scared with Kuntilanak ( kind of ghost in Indonesia ) in this movie. But when the Kuntilanak disappear, the Pocong came in. And you know what did happen to me ?

I'm CRYING.....!!!!

Yesss... I'm crying. Oh my God, they are really really scary. I scream and hug my friends tight.
For some people Pocong wasn't really scary.

But for me Pocong is the real of Ghost!!! The one and only ghost that can makes me cry when I see its picture or just hear its name.

So, I'm not gonna show you the pictures of Pocong or Kuntilanak. If you really curios about them, you just need to search it on google with "Pocong" or "Kuntilanak" as keyword. Be carefull when you wanna see them.

Fyi, there's soo many kind of ghost in Indonesia like Leak ( A man without head walking on a lonely road and love blood ), genderuwo ( A man with feather and really like kids ), Sundel Bolong ( A women with long hair and wear a white dress, there's a hole in her back ), and many kind of them.

And you know, they are real. You can find them in some place but I don't know where. I'm not lying. Its true !!!!

Have you ever seen Indonesian Thriller movie ?
As I know, the Indonesian Thriller Movie is famous in International. They said it was really scary.

So,
if you haven't watch it. I suggest you these movie
"Pocong 2" , "Kuntilanak 1" , "Kuntilanak 2"
Those movie are amazing. You should watch it !!! :]

It’s been long time I have write no post in here. I’m too busy to doing this. It’s my last year in high school, I have to study hard. So, I can past my last exam in High School. :P

Now, I’m not gonna post something connected with Indonesia. I wanna post some awkward and funny things that happen before, on, and after my birthday.

A few days before the ‘it’ day, I had really really bad days. I don’t know if its just coincidence or something but its annoyed me.

It started when I asked my teacher about my rank from 1st semester till 5th semester for my graduation soon. But she didn’t want to give it to me. She told me that wasn’t important but I know its really important.

It tooks 2 days to ask her to give me rank and it’s not simple as a write here. I just can’t explain it..

After that I fought with my friend and it’s caused by me. I’m on bad mood, he asked me to join him to canteen but I rejected him, Then he push and push me to join him. I scream on him, I hit him with empty plastic bottle. How jerky and bad I am!!

I feel really terrible, thats over reacted I think. So, I apologized to him, and he do really forgive me.

And from this day every bad things change to fun and cool things. On Saturday, my parent gimme Sony Vaio Notebook for my bday gift. Thats really awesome!! I don’t think that they will give this cool gadget for me cause I think this year I’m not really good girl for them. :P

On Saturday night I’m not going anywhere, I’m too excited bout waiting my 17th bday. Hehehehe.. And the next cool things I got on my bday is HE (someone who wanted to be with this crazy girl, :P) was the first person that say bday greeting to me, how romantic he is, I love you, babe!! Hahahaha....

Then on Sunday, I got the next surprise. Its from my bff, Dyn. She came to my house when I was sleep then she waking me up with sing me bday song and give me a bday cake with blue cream (my fave color). We hug each other, and you know, I haven’t brush my teeth or wash my face yet. I don’t know how was my smell.

Still on Sunday, in the afternoon I hung out with my family and doing some fun activities together. That was amazing day for me.

But actually, It wasn’t stop on Sunday.

On Monday, when I walked in to my class, my classmates singing me a bday song together. Isn’t it really sweet?? I don’t know that they know when exactly my bday is.

Then In Sunday afternoon I got the best gift from myself, what is it? It’s the high scores on TOEFL. OMG.... That was sooo amazing for me. I wasn’t study before do the test but I got a high score. It’s so cool, right?

On Wednesday, I totally busy with my funny things. Me and my girl friends hang out together to celebrate my bday. Yeahhh... its not over yet. ;)

Sweet

On Saturday, Me and my boyfriends hang out and dinner together for celebrating my bday again. So, last week is full of celebrated my 17th bday. This is more than what I expected. Its toooo awesome.

Thank you so much!!!

I’m sure I will never forget about how peoples who mean so much for me did this beautiful things to me. You all are cool. Love y so much.

I’m happy with my life. I hope this happiness will never stop showing in the whole my life..

*I’m sorry for this disconnected articles, I just wanna told you all how happy and grateful I am. And also I wanna make you jealous to me. Are you? Hahahaha....:D

Yesterday my mom visited my grandma who lived in different town with me for couples day. Actually, I'm pretty happy with it cause it mean I can do anything I want. ;)

But, when I bought lunch at food shop. I don't know It just feels sooo different with food made by my mom.

And now I know what thing that could make its taste different. There's always sambal on mom's food. It's totally makes every foods you eat ore delicious.

So, what is sambal?

Sambal is made from chillies, onions, peppers, salt, and terasi (only from Indonesia). Its like spicy sauce but not too soft cause we made sambal traditionaly with cobek, not used a copper. Cobek is something made from stone, just like it


All we need to do when we wanna use cobek is put all flavor on it


then copped with that smaller stone untill the flavor almost soft and its done. :)


Doesn't it looks so spicy??
But remember, don't eat it without mineral water near you cause its totally HOT. You can eat it with Fish fillet, fried fish, tofu, tempe (something made from soybean), or anything you wanna eat.

I don't know why Indonesian peoples love this cuisine. They said you can't taste how delicious food without eat it with sambal. And I agree with them.

I'm not lying if I say you cannot stop eat if you eat your meals with sambal. So, don't eat it if you on diet's program. :)

And you know, there's many kind of sambal, like





And, its the most famous sambal in Indonesia or maybe in international, it called sambal terasi. Everybody's love it. :)

So, wanna try it sometimes??
Don't try to eat it if you don't like spicy. It will burn your mouth. :)

Is it February ?? Oh my God, I'm going to 17 on February 22th and It means I'm not teenage at all. heheheh..

Talking about birthday, I remember about little bday tradition for teenage and adult in my country. I don't know if there's any country do this tradition but I think I shud write about it on this post.

Usually, peoples celebrate their bday with party, dinner, or threw some bday's cake on the people whose got bday. In here, we also doing that. But in here, when you got bday, just be careful cause ur friend wouldn't let you clean all day long.

They will throw all dirty things to all over your body like throw flours, ditch waters, rotten eggs, coffee, gums. It's so disguisting when you have clean your body after that attack, they will throw you again untill you stop try to clean your body.

And the part I hate about it are when they throw the coffee to my clothes, or when they throw the rotten eggs and gums to my hair. Its ridiculous... But I think I like this tradition, after they think that attack is enough, we'll hang out together till the day of this bday's over.

Isn't that sounds funny?? :)

And for the adults like my parent's bday, sometimes we do tumpengan.
What's that? Well, tumpengan is we celebrate bday with having lunch (not dinner) with nasi tumpeng, Its totally Indonesian cuisine. Like these..

Looks delicious, right?
You see that yellow's conical things? Thats what we called nasi tumpeng, its made from rice.

So, after we sing a bday song, we HAVE TO sliced nasi tumpeng and put it on a plate. Then we choose the side dish like fried chicken, boiling eggs, noodles, salad, fried fish, or anything else. And we give the first sliced to someone who mean so much. After that, we just sing a song together, pray together and do every fun things together. :)

Actually, tumpengan is not just for celebrate bday. Its also can we do when we wanna celebrate anniversary or another family's or adult's event. :)

Oh yeaa..
I won outfit suggestion contest from CATE, and she gift me this award..

Thank you so muchhh Cate, Keep visit, read, and comment to my blog.
I Love ur style. :)

A days ago, I've chatted with my friend in Netherland. She said she was very happy to live there even if sometimes she rele missed every unique things in Indonesia.

Then I asked her about what things she couldn't find in there but can find everydays in Indonesia. She said that she couldn't find 'ojek'! and thats make us laugh and I said 'Of course there's no ojek'

Then I don't know I just think What about write some story of ojek on this blog. I thougt that will be cool, right? :)

and
What excatly 'ojek' mean??

Well, Ojek is a kind of transport like taxi but not used a car, its used a motorcycle. Yea... motorcycle. It's sounds weird, right? But, it's true. ;)

So, if you wanna use ojek to go somewhere you have to go to their station or in Indonesian it called 'pangkalan'. Ojek station wasn't like train or bus station! Its like umm.. I can't explain it but you can see this pic.


So badly I think. :-? O yeaa.. you see those persons behind motorcycles? They are people whose jockey those motorcycles or in here the called 'tukang ojek' but I think you can call them ojekers. :p

In ojek station, choose an ojeker and tell him the place you wanna go. If he know that place, you just need use helmet (he'll give you) and he ready to take you wherever you wanna. But if he doesn't know, you can ask another ojeker.

When you arrive in the place you want to go, don't forget to pay the ojeker and also return his helmet. hehehehe....

Its simple, right?? But not everybody wanna use this transport, neither do I. And I don't know why, maybe its because they had their own ride, just like me. :)

So, wanna enjoy you quick trip with ojek?? ;)

Think about my trip to South Kalimantan few days ago, I remember about 'Sasirangan', Its custom cloth from South Kalimantan.

Sasirangan usually used by peeress but now everyone can wear it. It will be cool when wear sasirangan in formal events like wedding party or whatever.

If you want to take a holiday in South Kalimantan don't forget to buy Sasirangan cause I'm sure many womens will like it. It's Unique and made by their own hands without machine.

These are some pictures about the way to make sasirangan.
