air pollution

Bandarlampung is getting more and more crowded, traffic jams always happens here and there. This condition is worsen as there are some street that cross the railway. They are in Kampung Baru, Labuhan Ratu, Jl. Sultan Agung, Way Halim, Jl. Urip Sumoharjo, Kedaton, Jl. Hanoman Kampung Sawah, Jl. Pemuda Tanjungkarang, Jl. Tulang Bawang, Kebon Jeruk, Jl. Gajah Mada and Jl. Perintis kemerdekaan.

When the train passes those street. Hundreds of cars and motorcycle have to wait for the train to get through. I notice not many of the drivers/riders turn off their vehicle's engines while waiting for the train to pass though they are idle for more than 3 minutes. How much gas is wasted? The vehicles do not move, but the gas is burnt. Do they realize that they had waste the gas and had made the earth suffer from air pollution at the time.
Turn it off.......

It was about 12 am. I was on the way to do the Jum'atan. There were a lot of motorcycles and cars parked a long the street on the left and right side of the street. I saw a strange thing. It was a car that was parked near the entrance gate of the Muslimin Mosque in Pahoman Bandarlampung. The car engine is on, from the glass window I can see clearly that there was no one in the car. But why did the owner let the car engine on? Did he do it in purpose?
The Jum'atan prayer spend at least 45 minutes. How much gas does the car consume in 45 minutes? I do not have any car, so I can not answer it. But I know that the car needs the fuel to work. The car release the emission gas into the air. It doesn't only consume the gas but also pollute s the air. Wow..............

Save the earth

Do you sometimes fall asleep when you watch TV? I do. But don't worry, I always set the sleep timer so the TV would be on till the next day-it will be of at 11 pm. I usually get home at 9.10 pm. before going to bed I usually watch TV for about an hour. But most of the time I would fall asleep in front of the TV.

Does it have something to do with "ketahanan iklim"?. The electricity that we use in our homes is generated by power plant that is powered by fossil fuel. The engine that works using fossil fuel produce energy-that is beneficial for human being and emission gas-that pollutes the air.

So if we use less amount of electric energy, less fossil fuel will be needed to generate the electricity means less emission gas that is released into the air.


Turn off the electronic appliances when you do not use it............

Flood

Flood in East Kalimantan

The earth has lost it balance. Natural disasters happened in any parts throughout Indonesia, the latest was the flood in East Kalimantan.A few days ago, I sent an sms to Luthfiyyah, in East Kalimantan. I expressed my condolence for the flood that has struck the province which host the PON.This morning I got reply from her. She said: "The flood destroyed my school. All important data has lost, twelve new PCs broken, some computers, TV and other electronic tools lost. I don't know to say..."

Subject : bad experience to post in our blog

Date : Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:30:28 -0400 (EDT)

From : "bisri mustofa" bisrimustofa@lycos.com




Win! Post my bad experience in our blog.Last week I went home from Semarang to Kebumen by regular bus. I still remember the name of the but. It's Santosa. Actually I got a good seat. It was about after maghrib. The bus ran smoothly although the road is up and down because of hilly area. When the bus was about to reach the boarder Magelang and Purworejo, it stopped. It's in the forestry area. The bus didn't run again. I got up from the seat and suddenly saw what happened in the front of my bus. K Line trailer staged across the road. Buses and other big vehicles could not passed ahead, but small vehicle could like trucks, vans, and so on. I and other passengers waited and waited. I hoped this ! traffic jam could be overcome soon. But oh man! I waited for about two hours, no officers came. All passengers were afraid to come home too late. You know some passengers would go to Kebumen, the other Cilacap, and some others to Purwokerto. They were all confused how to get home soon. They didn't want too late.Some passengers looked for the conductor of the bus, but they didn't find him.They asked to the driver, he didn't know because the conductor didn't tell him where to go. finally I asked the driver to find us a ride.The driver negotiated one of the truck driver to take us at least up to Purworejo Bus Station. fortunately, the truck driver was very kind at that time. So I and other passengers took a truck to Purworejo Bus Station.It was like "pawai", but Man! the wind is very-very cold.having reached the Purworejo Bus Station, we got off the truck, but the driver offered us to get on the truck ag! ain especially for those who would go to Kebumen and Purwokerto. Oh ma n! I was very tired. I should be at home at 07.30 PM but I came home at 00.00 AM. Bad-bad experience.Busri Mustofa

After we arrived there, we help Luthfi,Enidar, Saiful and Tri bring the to Damri, local bus to bring them to the airport.Then I got the ticket to Yogya, While we waited the bus, someone stand beside Harsoyo and then he ask to him to shake his hand, But Harsoyo refused, because he knew that some want to trick him to make "gendam".We (Bisri, Harsoyo and me) left Jakarta at 4.30 pm, and it long-long journey to reach our destination. We went home by NON AC BUS, make me uncomfortable. Make me hot-and hot everywhere because I am fat enough. But this my risk. Why we took NON AC BUS because Both of the was very unsual with AC.

Here's an easy game to play.Here's an easy thing to say:
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
You can't say this? What a shame, sir!We'll find you another game, sir.
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to ram your rom.Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

My way home
I walked slowly down the stairs with mixed up feeling, happy, sad, expectant everything. But I must go. Life must go on. A ten day training is over. It is very hard to leave everyone. Along the way home, I can not forget them, I made a call to Ghofar. I went home by land transport. I must change the mean of transportation several times. First, from the campus I shared a taxi with Samhudi and Muhtadi. Then we got off the taxi in Kampung Rambutan Bus Station, after a while we got into a bus to Merak. Muhtadi got off in Cilegon while Samhudi got off in Serang. Then I decided to take the speed boat it costs Rp 30.000,- It is twice as much as the fee for ferry, economic class. It takes an hour to cross the Sunda strait. While I was in the boat, my hand phone’s battery low, so I can not send any messages or make a call. Then I took bus home. I arrived home at 6 pm.
Cempaka Mas Mall

The participants were eager to go shopping in Cempaka Mass Mall. The bus arrived and parked, everyone got off the bus. The females go to different direction with males. Finally they found out that the females go to the wrong direction. When they realized it, they turned and go to the opposite direction. Actually there were notices along the way telling which way to take. But maybe they just don’t realize it. I tried to wait for others in the entrance door.
We did not directly enter the main door of the mall, but instead they went to the prayer room. I went to second floor, fourth floor and the other way around. Finally I stranded in Gramedia-the bookstore. I browsed the books mainly about computer. The I moved to other displays and I saw the flash disk. The flash disk reminded me about Yuli, then I sent message to Yuli to tell her about the price and whether or not I should buy one for her. As during the break I found out that Yuli need one. Yuli opened the message and tried to contact me, she made about 6 calls unfortunately a mall is not a good place to make phone calls. Got frustrated finally she replied the sms. I knew that Yuli doesn’t like using the sms. Some people found out that sms is really impractical; typing the letter one by one is really no fun. On the contrary I have been using the sms for years with my bulky NOKIA 9210i I can type the sms as I do typing in a computer. It is Qwerty-the lay out of letter in a key pad just like the one in the computer keyboard.

I thought there is no reason for me to buy her a flash disk, she has got one and it is ok. The only reason why she wants to buy the new one is that it is full. Then I got an idea instead of buying her a new flash disk it’s better for me to buy her several blank cds. So that I can back up her flash disk in the cd, and she can use her flash disk for other purpose.

I went upstairs to the cd store accompanied by Azhari, Bisri and Amin. Makmun did not join us because he needs to find open air so he can light a cigarette. They went into the lift. They got off in the fourth floor and headed to the computer software store, Bisri bought sound editing software, Azhari bought windows with Arabic enabled. And I bought some blank CDs, I spent Rp 9.000,- for the CDs. .

Then they checked out from the computer store. They got into the lift and down to the first floor. But they split, Azhari and I stick together while Bisri and Amin took other direction. Azhari and I got difficulty to locate the exit door. After asking for direction to the passer by finally we found the way out. They directly go to the parking area. Azhari stayed out of the bus, I got into the bus. Azhari offered me something to drink, but I said: “No, thank you”.and off I jumped into the bus. I realized that I have not finished my lunch. I grabbed the lunch box and finished it. Not long after that Yuli and Eny appeared, they carried a lot of stuff. She came into the bus and sat in her chair. She had a casual conversation with me, while finishing her meal. She told me that the stuff she bought is for her friend back home. I told her that I didn’t buy her the flash disk but I bought blank CDs instead. She handed a 100.000,- (one hundred thousand bill) to me, I kept it. But I keep thinking how I could give the money back to Yully. Finally by the end of the training I reloaded her hand phone via the nearest ATM.

Everyone has got back to the bus except for Saiful and Bambang. Saiful had a hard bargaining for the clothes, while Bambang told everyone that he lost the way. So he spent much time going around and around to find the exit door. Finally everyone understood. The bus moved slowly leaving the Cempaka Mas Mall, a long the way everyone is singing, they sang old song and changed part of the lyric. So instead of Widuri they said Niduri or Sudarti.
Carefour

We went to carefour the other day. we went there by Angkot, Saiful was the "kenek", he is responsible for collecting the money from everyone to pay the Angkot. Makmun did a funny thing, he wore shorts and pants at the same time. He got difficulty to take his wallet which he kept in his short. So he put off a part of his pants to get the wallet. He did it in front of the the other passengers. Everyone is laughing. That was entertaining. They agreed to meet at the front door at 21 pm. everyone spreads to different direction. It’s getting late. Everyone has got out from the mall. But not me, I was trapped in the cashier, I bought a shirt and two bottles of mizone. I tried to contact Saipul that I am still in the cashier. But poor Saipul, he did get the message. He thought that it is Parkir not Cashier. Everyone is waiting. The males (Makmun and Syaiful) searched for me in the parking area, but I was nowhere to be found. Finally I can get out of the line in the cashier and join the group. Then they went home happily. A few days later, Luthfy sent me an sms “I am in Ramayana now, suddenly I remember the time when we lost you in carefour”. Oh no……. I was not lost at that time. Saipul did not catch the point.
Did you go somewhere in the evening?
Pondok Indah Mall
We got out of the Campus and stopped an Angkot we made a deal for fee. When it was agreed everyone got into the Angkot. We went to Pondok Indah Mall. It is a famous mall in Jakarta. Many famous Indonesian celebrities go there. No wonder the price of everything is very expensive. After browsing the mall for a while they finally went to Gramedia book store. Then they went to Hero. I was very hungry that’s why I bought two slices of hotdog and a bar of silver queen chocolate bar, a head of “jeruk bali”. To get home they took a bus. I sat at the back. On the bus - I opened the silver queen chocolate bar and I offered Yuli a piece of it, but she refused. That’s fine. I did not force her to accept my offer.
National Monument
The bus moves slowly out of the area of Kubah Mas Mosque. It can not move fast due to the traffic and the condition of the road, there are big hole over here and there. After more than 2 hours journey, the bus finally reaches the destination-the national monument. Everyone get off the bus, then they were welcomed by bad smell around the parking area. The parking lot was wet-the water was everywhere. Everyone must walk carefully so they won’t get wet and dirty. After a long walk finally they reach the national monument area. The view was great. The lamps lighten the monument. This landmark was built in 1960 in Sukarno’s Era, Indonesia’s first president.

There are not many things to do here. Some teenagers enjoyed each other company. Some of them sat a long the sidewalk. We enjoyed the view. There were some photographers who offered us to have instant picture with the national monument background. Some students had their pictures taken. They are Ahmad Mutadi, Zarkasi, Harsoyo and others. Some street vendors tried to offers their souvenir; they offered us pens etc. Rini and Yuli are going to sit down on the side walk but they did not do it because they saw the cockroach.

Makin has a digital camera with him but it was out of battery. I was able to use the camera to take the picture of Makin, Eny and Enidar but the result were not satisfying. I had an idea, I invited everyone to make formation and made the photographer took the picture. About 30 students formed the formation and “click” the camera shot the formation. There were 3 (three) photographers shot the formation. The pictures were sold rp 10.000 (ten thousand rupiah) per piece. There were less than 5 (five) students paid the picture, but I did. Yes I must, because I was the one who made the initiative. At the other day I made Adi scanned the picture he got from the National monument and put it as clip in our video. That was a good idea, so now everyone has the picture with lower money to spend.

We got back to the parking area where the bus was parked. While waiting for everyone, I bought two pairs of Monas shirt and shorts for my kids. I saw Farida bought "Kerak Telor" a typical Betawi food. I have never taste it. I told Farida that I want to taste it. When I entered my bedroom, I found the "kerak telor" hang on the door handle. Thank you Farida....! You made me taste the food.
What did you do in Monas guys?

gasoline scarcity

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
Gasoline was scarce in the last two days. I have filled the gas a few days a go when got the money from Ujian Madrasah. There is a new gas station 1,5 kilometers away from my home.

I pushed the bike out of the house and started the engine. I ran the bike to the gas station. I got there; I saw two long lines of motor riders. Everyone wants to get the gasoline. The line was long enough there are about 20 motor riders in each line. There I met my colleague from a private school in Bandarlampung-Taman Siswa. I had a chat with him about the current issues, like the gasoline scarcity etc. I got the turn. I can only have Rp 15.000,- (fifteen thousand rupiah), with my Mega Pro, which can hold up to 11 liters, I tried to have more. But the gas attendant refused. I got out of the line, started the bike and got into the line for the second time. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I got the second turn, I handed Rp 15.000,- the tank is filled. I got out the line started the engine and got into the line again. This is the third time I got the turn I handed Rp 15.000,- the tank is filled. I spent one and half hour in the gas station. Can you imagine?

I went home. My wife has prepared the breakfast. This morning she cooked typical “Javanese food” Oseng-oseng tempe, kacang panjang and toge, plus tempe and oncom goreng and for the fresh vegetable (lalap) she prepared “young tender jambu mete leaf”. How about you? What did you do on May 20, 2008?

As far as I can remember


Kubah Emas Mosque


The trip to Kubah Emas Mosque was done at about 5 pm. A long the way they listened to Dangdut Song. The bus was full. I sat next to the driver. Everyone has chance to talk to each other a long the way. When the bus reached the destination, they got off the bus and went into the toilet. Then they came into the magnificent mosque. There are special doors for male and female. After doing Magrib prayer, they took pictures, and then they prayed Isya. Finally they got back to the bus, oh the bus driver hasn’t come back yet, so they have to wait for the driver.



Here is the driver, he opened the door. Everyone got back to his/her position and so did I. I must got back to his previous seat next to the driver. Poor me. Things would be very different if I could sit next to someone, not the driver, I can not talk a lot with him. I probably could share many things with someone. But that was fine.



During the break time, I sat in the same table with others. We don’t talk a lot, just commented on each other. I don’t think it is the right time for me to talk about personal matters.

Ghofar : I agree if talk about oil, today that topic is more intrng rather than te others

Dedi Halim : Thank's 4 displaying the photo. Now i'll gv the comment t oil price. Actually the oil price in INA is cheaper than others, bcause th gvernment always subsidize.

Best Singer 2008

There was a farewell party



Last night, Sunday May 18, 2008 was a lonely night. During the day I had meeting in LIA till about 14 pm. At home my wife and two children went to sleep earlier. It was about 20:00 pm. I played the video I got from diklat, I love the song. That was not enough. I tried to find other thing. I moved the cursor to other folder. It is “malam ta’aruf”. That is the name I gave for the folder where I keep the video that I took using Luthfy hand phone camera. Thank you Luthfy I played the recordings in the folder. Luthfy has not replied my sms either. I wrote another sms: “U r ok right? I am about to update the web log, I won’t do it till a got a reply from you.” I sent it to Luthfy. There was no answer. It’s about 8:30 pm there was no answer from Luthfy. He took the hand phone and dialled Luthfy’s number. To my surprise no one pick up the phone. I did it once more, I dialled the number and again no one pick up the phone. What has happened to her? Was she busy? It’s 9:36 pm: my phone is beeping. There was one message received. I took it and opened it. It was Luthfy: “Hi win, i'm ok. I've bn busy 4 a week preparing accmdtion 4 athlte, official n commte. All hotels full booked. Sorry 4not rplyng ur sms soon.” That’s fine with me. I am happy.

Her reply reminds me that she is one of the committee for the athlete in PON, she told me before that she can not reply my sms because she was attending the meeting in Governor’s office. Ok Luthfy do your best.

I felt happy. Then I fell asleep. My wife woke me up and asked me to sleep in the bedroom. I can not directly fall asleep, because I have slept for a while in front of the TV.


Rini (Palembang) Hi. Win, I'm not on holiday. I still teach my second grade students. I will try to write on my holiday and maybe do you have suggestion how to start my article.

“I am not on holiday either, as we finished the national examination, we had the madrasah examination that was held from May 9th to May 14th, 2008. I was posted in one of private madrasah in Bandarlampung, it is about 10 kms away from my school. Thursday is the last day of the school examination, the subject is local content (Bahasa Lampung), the proctors are ready. There were six proctors. The students are all ready as well. At 7:30 I rang the bell. The students stood in line in front of their respective class. The proctors stand beside the door and let the students enter the room. As everyone is in, one of the students leads their friend reciting the prayer. The proctors distribute the answer sheet and the test booklet. The students started working on the test. I am in the committee office alone. I got nothing to do. I stood up and took the proctors attendance. In the last 3 previous days (Friday, Monday and Tuesday) I called my “friend” to talk about anything. Enjoying each other company. I spent hours talking to her. As the madrasah examination over, we checked to answer sheet. I was responsible for the data processing team. I did the data entry of the score. But there was some teachers absent, so I must substitute one of them. I checked the answer sheet of the Aqidah akhlak subject. Last Friday and Saturday, May 16-17 2008, we had “ujian praktek” again I am responsible for doing the data entry. For your information there are 212 students joining the examination. There are nine subjects for madrasah examination, and the score has 4 characters. Can you count how many times I have to dial the keyboards?
It’s 8 pm, my wife, son and daughter have gone to bed. I have not felt sleepy yet. I am in the family room. The tv is on. It is metro TV. I watched Democrazy program, I found it interesting. I did not really focus on the program, my mind is somewhere else. I really missed some one. I lied down on the mattress in front of the TV. Beside me, there is a laptop. The laptop is on. I tried to find something in the laptop that can help me filling my loneliness. I browsed the My document folder then I chose the video folder. I highlighted the 4 files then I opened them with winamp. The song has brought my memory somewhere, the pictures in the video have refresh my memory about my friends back there.

Takarina (NTB) During my holiday, I’ve some activities such as joining seminars on education, attending computer training course, watering plants, taking care of my daughter, studying , doing sports etc
“It seems that she has a lot of activities during the holiday, What about you guys? Do you have similar activities with what Takarina does?. For me, I had a quality time with my son, last holiday Thursday, may 1st, 2008. First, I took my son to the barbershop, We went to the barber shop by motorcycle just the of us. At the barber shop we must wait for our turn. My son got the turn, he sat down on the chair, the barbershop asked me what model he would have. I told him to cut the hair short, but my son told the barber shop to disobey me. He chose his own hairstyle. That’s fine with me. I got the turn, I sat down on the chair and told the barber to cut my hair short, it is ½ cm. I love to have short hair since 2004.
After that we decided to have lunch. We went a restaurant nearby the gas station in Pahoman, it’s Puti Minang-a Padang Restaurant. We sat on the table in the corner. The waiter came and served various kind of food. We started to have lunch. I took “kepala ikan samba” and my son took “fried chicken”. The waiter approached us to offer the drink. I ordered avocado juice and my son did too. We bought two portion of soup to be taken home. We got up and left the table, I came to the cashier to pay the bill. I took the soup, and we went home. We did not directly go home, but we went to the supermarket instead.

My wife has given us the shopping list. As we entered the supermarket, we took the trolley and put the shopping list in the trolley. I told my son to find the items in the list; I went to the ATM to pay the credit card bill. I want to see whether he can handle it or not. I got out of the mall and tried to find the ATM machine, I got in, insert the card, dialled the pin, chose the transaction, took the receipt, took the ATM card, and put the card back into my wallet, got out from the ATM machine and got into the supermarket. I tried to find my son, I walked from one aisle to another. I got worried I haven’t found him, I have searched him for more than 10 minutes, Aha… here he is. I felt relieve. The trolley is almost full. I checked to shopping list. Everything was there. Then we headed to the cashier. After waiting for several minutes, we got the turn. We took out the item from the trolley and gave it to the cashier. Done. I handed my BNI credit card to cashier and she swept it into the cash register. I signed the receipt and left the supermarket.

We got surprised, what we did was totally wrong. The milk is not the correct flavour. The sugar is not the correct brand. The cookies is not the correct weight, etc.

That was what I did with my son on may 1st, 2008. I think that was my quality time for him.
