FOOD! FOOD!

So hello again everyone! FOOD FOOD FOOD! Yeas, now I will tell you one food that every Indonesian love it. The answer is….. INDOMIE! Yay-yey-yay-yey. I know indomie is just an intstant noodle and it’s really unhealthy but everyone know that indomie can safe your dinner if you have nothing at home, and it’s really tasty, right?

I like every flavor of indomie except the green chilli flavor, because it’s a little bit… I don’t know what word but I really don’t like it. And if i have what i dislike, so there’s always favourite flavor. My favourite is “Empal Gentong” flavor because it’s a bit tasty and it’s salty. I know that everyone know how to make Indomie but I will still explain it anywaaay. Soo this is how to prepare indomie:

1.      Boil water in a saucepan.

2.      Add the instant herbs which is indide the indomie package to the bowl.

3.      When the water boils, put in the indomie noodles and allow to boil till tender.

4.      After the noodles mushy, put the noodles to the bowl, mix it with the instant herbs.

5.      Indomie is ready to eat! But you can also add extra ingredients like egg, cabbage, or sausages.

Recently, there’s a little diferent recipe for indomie noodle soup, that’s Indomie kuah susu! Yes, I tried it, it taste like fettucini carbonara, and it’s amazingly nice! If you want to make indomie kuah susu, I sugest you should add chilli powder because it’s so tasty. You can also add extra cheese!

HOLIDAYYYYYY

Hello everyone! It’s Sunday, 11^th of January and tomorrow is Monday, 12^th of January which is the day I’m going to meet a bunch of books a-g-a-i-n and holiday is overrrrrrrr, ugh. And noooow I will share my last holiday.

I spent my holiday in my lovely city… Bandung! So yeah I didn’t go anywhere because…..okay there’s no reason why I didn’t go to another city. Because I didn’t go to another city, it means that I spent most holiday in my home sweet home and watch tv, movies, or read novels. So I will tell you what I read/watch or where I go in my holiday.

On the 24^th of December 2014, I went to school with Iffa to turn in our learning contract for next semester. After that, we ate at richeese factory and then go home. Next Day, 25^th of December I stayed home, watched Sherlock tv series, and read The Serpent’s Shadow book by Rick Riordan. And the next day I also stayed home. On 27^th of December I felt so boring at home so I went to school and I met Arina, Jihan, and Dilla then we went to Waroeng Steak and then…. Went home again.

On new year, I just stayed home and watched tv. Sad enough? No I don’t feel sad at all, I don’t really like firework or bbq party, I don’t know why. And the next 4 days after new year, I stayed at home and finally on 5^th of January I went to my Junior High School Friend’s house and sleep over yeaay! It was so fun, the next day we went to pvj mall for brunch(breakfast&lunch) and watch Merry Riana and Night at The Museum Movie and then we return to our home. So after that day until yesterday.. I stayed at home.

Yesterday, January 10^th , I and my family went to bookstore then we bought some food at the supermarket. And today, I will spent my last holiday at home soo it’s my last holiday story. I think it’s not so interesting but I don’t care bcs I still happy stayed at home instead of going to school and doing school stuffs.

Even though I’m still not ready for tomorrow, but life must go on so does school. I hope next semester, my score is better that before! Okay see you later everyone!

Narrative Text: The Story of Toba Lake

From: http://matiolestari.blogspot.com/2013/06/contoh-narrative-text-pendek-bahasa.html

Once upon a time, there was a man who was living onsumatera. He lived in a simple hut in a farming field. He did some gardening and fishing for his daily life.

One day, while the man was do fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his trap. It was the biggest catch which he ever had in his life. Surprisingly, the fish turned into abeautiful princess. He felt in love with her and proposed her to be his wife. She said “Yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about the secret that I was once, a fish, otherwise there will be a huge disaster”. The man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had a daughter.

Few year later, his daughter would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day, his daughter was so hungry and she ate her father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got furious, and shouted “You damned daughter of a fish!”.  His daughter ran home and ask her mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had broke his promise.

She told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge disaster was about to come. When her daughter left, she prayed. Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop pouring rain. The whole area got flooded and become Toba Lake. She turned into a fish again and her husband became the island of Samosir.

AMAZING STRUCTURE: Arc De Triomphe, Paris, France.

Hello everyone! So I’m back and I will tell you one of amazing structure. And I’m gonna tell you one of many amazing structure in Paris. And that’s Arc De Triomphe! I really like this building because there’s a story about this building that involved with the growth of Islam in Europe, and so related with Napoleon Bonaparte, but I won’t explain the story here, hehe… So let’s start!

Arc De Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. Arc De Triomphe Located in Challiot Hill, at the western end of the very famous boulevard, Champs de Ellysee, Paris. Arc De Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France  in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

The monument stands 50 metres (164 ft) in height, 45 m (148 ft) wide and 22 m (72 ft) deep. The large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The small vault is 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is built on such a large scale that, three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 (marking the end of hostilities in World War I), Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel.

It was the tallest triumphal arch in existence until the completion of the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City in 1938, which is 67 metres (220 ft) high. The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982, is modelled on the Arc de Triomphe and is slightly taller at 60 m (197 ft).

This monument is planned by Napoleon Bonaparte since 1806,the construction procces takes about 2 years.

 Jean-Pierre Cortot,  François Rude,  Antoine Étex,  James Pradier and Philippe Joseph Henri Lemaire are the Major academic sculptors of France are represented in the sculpture of Arc De Trimphe.

In the attic above the richly sculptured frieze of soldiers are 30 shields engraved with the names of major French victories in the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. The inside walls of the monument list the names of 660 people, among which are 558 French generals of the First French Empire, The names of those generals killed in battle are underlined. Also inscribed, on the shorter sides of the four supporting columns, are the names of the major French victories in the Napoleonic Wars.

From 1882 until 1886, the monumental sculpture by Alexandre Falguiere, "Le triomphe de la Révolution" (the Triumph of the Revolution) topped the arch. It depicted a chariot drawn by horses preparing "to crush Anarchy and Despoitsm". It remained there only four years before falling in ruins.

At the beneath of the Arc, there’s vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

And this is the details of Arc De Triomphe:

·        The four main sculptural groups on each of the Arc's pillars

o   Le Départ de1792 by François Rude

o   Le Triomphe de 1810 by Jean-Pierre Cortot

o   La Résistance de 1814 by Antoine Étex

o   La Paix de 1815, by Antoine Étex

·        Six reliefs sculpted on the façades of the Arch, representing important moments of the French Revolution and of the Napoleonic era:

o   Les funérailles du général Marc by P. H. Lamaire

o   La bataille d'Aboukir by Bernard Seurre

o   La bataille de Jemappes by Carlo Marochetti

o   Le passage du pont d'Arcole by J. J. Feuchère

o   La prise d'Alexandrie by J. E. Chaponnière

o   La bataille d'Austerlitz by J. F. T. Gechter

·        Some great battles of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars are engraved on the attic.

·        A list of French victories is engraved under the great arches on the inside façades of the monument.

·        The names of the military leaders of the French Revolution and Empire. The names of those who died on the battlefield are underlined.

·        The great arcades decorated with allegorical figures representing characters in Roman mythology (by J. Pradier).

So I think that’s enough about the amazing Arc De Triomphe, and what do you think about Arc De Triomphe? Awesome, isn't it? I think yes! I hope someday i can visit and take photos or selfies with Arc De Triomphe as the baground. So see you next post!

MATSWAPATI

Hey, everyone. It’s been a long time since my last post, miss me? J Do you know that there’s an event at Lapangan Bali (Bali Street no.8) on 27^th of September? If you don’t know, I will tell you. Okay, so there’s MATSWAPATI, culture festival by SMAN 3 Bandung (my school, yeay!) that held on 27^th September 2014. In MATSWAPATI, SMAN 3 with contribution with some guest star etc. presenting JAWA BARAT CULTURE such as Wayang Golek, Angklung, Calung, Benjang, Reog, Jaipong, and many more. And some school’s ekstrakulikuler also performing in MATSWAPATI (KPA-angklung, KV-kelompok vocal, etc.) and they’re soooooo impressive.

Now I will tell you about the parade! We (10^th grade student), some elementary school, and some junior high school student attended the parade, the parade start at lapangan Bali until we go back to Lapangan Bali again, and somehow my class (X-Science 3) Won the parade YEAAY! In parade, we wore um I don’t know maybe it can be called as headband(?) made by black carton written ‘MATSWAPATI’ and we also sing a song that we made so loud, I think that’s why my class win the parade. In parade, we take so much photos, it’s so fun.

Next I will tell you about the performances. I saw so many performances which is so impressive, cool, stunning, etc, I’m sooooooo excited!! But I don’t bring my phone everytime so I just take some pictures when KPA perform and when Glenn Fredly perform.

From all performance, my favorite is when Wayang Golek performing, they didn’t just perform old wayang like cepot, semar but the also create a story that featuring modern artist, and the story is so funny, it makes the audience laughed. I also liked when KV & Barsena performing, their vocal is so so so so so goodddddd. And finally the night come and…. Glenn Fredly performance time!! I was so sad because I can’t watch him so close, but I still happy because I can still saw him directly. But I can’t watch all his performance because I had to go home. L

And I want to say thank you for all who organize this event especially the committee, I’m so proud with my school.

I think it’s enough thanks to who ever read this post, I’m sorry because my English still badL See You Later! J.
