Rafting Time (Elo River, MAGELANG)

I would like to share my experience with my friends, this story is about one of tour object in Magelang. Actually I dont remember exactly the date when we were exploring that site. I checked meta description of my photos in there and the date show in 2009, it means 2 years ago. The object that we visited is a Elo River which is used for rafting. We went there because of my curiuosity about that place, so I decided to invite my friends that interested in rafting. Its difficult enough to find 12 people in order to accept my invitation. We left from Yogya by bike. The journey to reach that place is only about one hour. Elo River is good for beginner like me, hehe.. There are some river in Magelang, if you want to try more challenge you can try the next level. The condition is different from Elo River, in Elo the flows is so quite and there is no many obstacle. In the middle of rafting, we took a rest in a cottage. In there we were given some foods and drink. If you like advanture and challenge you have to try this one! Besides the cost is not expensive.

Team Futsal 277C

Futsal is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller playing surface and mainly played indoors. Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (colloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as "hall football" or "indoor football". During the sport's second world championships held in Madrid in 1985, the name fútbol de salón was used. Since then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal. (wikipedia) We always play futsal 1-2 times a week. Actually I could not play futsal as good as my friends mostly hehe.. but my main purpose to participate with the others is to make my body healthy.

277 C is our team name. I dont really know why my friends choosed that name. As you know 277C is our dormitory address that we live haha.. Last Saturday (15/01) our clothing has done so we all weared that along game. We played 3 hours, its so long time. At that time there was around 18 players and every 15 minutes the team which lost had to change their player with the others. Yesterday we against other team, at the first we won the game but in the last minutes there was a problem with our team so we became lost. Perhaps we were so tired (find a reason :p) because we have played 2 hours before against that team.

Beats Me!

One of phrase that really suitable with my condition right now. huhhh! Dont have idea to write a topic. Aarrrrrrrrrrrrgh... I wanna scream so loudly! You know that my lecture disagreed with my thesis topic previously. He said that I could not develop my idea with this one. Ya ya, actually I was aware of it but I hope I could continue my topic with only change some parts. 

He suggested to me to read topic about participation, transparation, CIO, and complain system. For your information, my topic before is talk about Plaza Informasi, one of institution in Yogyakarta that has role to spread and serve people within access public information. I've visitted Plaza Informasi for about 4 times to observation and merely just for asking about what kind information that I necessary. In short, I have to change my topic because it has nothing to do with transparation and participation.

Hmm.. Up to now, I have two option about my thesis later. I really hope he will approve my topic. My passion actually in IT, especially e-government. I've been searching infomation in internet and some books, and finally I got it. Im attracted to do research about e-recruitment. As we know that e-government is able to prevent "KKN". Is that true? I dont know, haha.. It's time to prove it! Now, Im lazy to discuss this one, I wanna tell you about my second topic. Its about KUR "Kredit Usaha Rakyat". After some time, Im more interested in with KUR because I think to finish this topic is easier than the other.

One Day in Semarang

I would like to share my experience when I went to Semarang City, the capital of easy java. Actually this is not my idea, but my girlfriend and her friends idea. I just agreed to come along with them, moreover I didn't have any activity at that time. hehe..
We went to Semarang from Yogyakarta around 8 am. The journey was funny very much because we talked one another about everything lol. The day was Friday, the boys did jumat prayer in the middle of the way. Hmm.. If Im not wrong, we did it before arrived in Semarang, stopped in one of mosque around Ambarawa (maybe).

The first place which we visited was Sam Poo Kong. Its a chinnese temple to worship. Of course we took many pictures in there hehe. Actually it was my first time went together with my girlfriend friends. I was bit shy and not enjoy. In Semarang many chinnese who live and stay in there. After visiting this place, we move to one of the scariest place in east java. The name of that building is Lawang Sewu. Lawang Sewu in java means one thousand doors. Supposedly there are one thousand doors in Lawang Sewu. Firstly this place is used as train office central in Dutch colonial period. The function of this building has changed since Japan took control Indonesia. Many people were killed in underground passage. Can you imagine it, how your feel if you stay in there by yourself.

The last destination is kota lama (old city). That place usually is used to take some pictures because the background and environment is good. Unfortunately, we didnt have many times because it was one night before christmas. Yaa, there is a church near kota lama, so some places which have great background cannot be entered. Perhaps next time Im going to there again, but just my girlfriend and I. hehe..

For your information, at the time we had eaten for three times with the same side dishes but different in kind lol. We ate soybean curd. There are many variant soybean curd in Semarang.

Win But Lost!

Yups, win but lost! It's the fact which happened with our nation. We just was defeated by malaysia team in aggregate 4-2. Prediction from Godel become true, Indonesia has won the second leg at Gelora Bung Karno. Do you know about Godel? If German has Paul as fortune teller, Indonesia has Godel. Yap, Godel is also octopus who able to predict the last result of a game. It had predicted Indonesia would win the match. We won the second leg but not enough to be AFF champion. Even though, we lost but I'm still love and loyal to Indonesia. Red and White Flag always in my heart. We could learn from this moment.

Who Says Tortoise Cannot Run..?!

Tortoise is known as animal who can't run quickly. Almost all people said like that. Do you know that not all species tortoise walk so slowly. Have you ever heard about Carretochelys Insculpta, we often call it as 'fly river turtle, pig head or pig snout' (in Indonesia it's called 'kepala babi atau moncong babi')? Yaps, this species is not like the others. They are ablo to run fast when something comes close. I was surprised when saw this video below.

Carretochelys Insculpta is an original animal from Indonesia and they live in Papua Rivers. Almost all of its life is spent in water, of course they aren't like tortoise mostly. 'Fly river turtle' will go to ground when the time to lay eggs comes.

We called they as 'pig head or pig snout' because they have nose resemble pig nose. You can see from the picture above. Today the number of this specieses are less than before, because their life is threatened of smuggling which is done to China and Taiwan as medicine.
