Titanic - Antartika - Atlantis, Madagaskar - Afrika, Karibia - Somalia - Columbus

I have a new toy. Yes, the world ball. Playing around with the globe were able to answer many questions the days when i was little girl, as well as break words 'I think' that turned out I think that's right was wrong.

As where the Antarctic continent? Most people of course will directly point out is on the south pole. But not with me, I always think Antarctica is on the north pole. In my mind there is clearly illustrated in the top Russian, near Greenland, Iceland and other cold countries. Then my memory was associated the movie of Titanic when Kate Winslet will plunge into the water that followed that scene Leornado getting ready to jump, too, opened his shoes and jacket as he said .... huhh I'm not afraid to go jump but I'm afraid of the cold seawater Atlantis ......* such a conversation * Perhaps the film also reinforces my thoughts of the existence of a vast continent of Antarctica. Yes of course, because the sinking of the titanic ship struck an iceberg on his way from England to New York. And look at a globe, the only straight path without the Antarctic continent on it like the first guess. I still confused because I think the titanic is always associated with the Antarctic, which then forced me to read the history of the sinking of the titanic.

Funny thing, after reading about the history of the Titanic, I'm still curious to search why I always thought the titanic crashed near the Antarctic continent and the answer turns out there are still many people who think the same with me, for example drawing the picture below, there are penguins that live on the continent of Antarctica was sunbathing and next to the titanic ships hahaha.

And also the title of a newspaper in London "'Titanic' terror of Britons saved in Antarctic rescue after cruise ship struck iceberg". Hihihi daily writers may have thought the same way (the Titanic sank in the Antarctic), or perhaps only meant to rescue the ship Britons in Antartic like a titanic terror, because same struck an iceberg.

Still to see my new toy, I discovered Madagascar. Re shy smile graced my face. I think Madagascar only too well unite with the great African continent. although the right was in the area on the African continent, but it was only an island of Madagascar.

From Madagascar, my search was directed where the Caribbean sea, just because one reminded of the story Curry, Pirates Caribbean origin. It turns out there on the Caribbean ocean bottom florida northwest toward Venezuela in South America. The existence of small islands called the Caribbean islands, allowing the pirates flourish in the area. Caribbean which is also known as West Indian, first named by Christopher Columbus who thought he had landed in India, when he has reached in America.

And speaking of the pirates, I'm reminded of the recent news about the Somali pirates who recently hijacked ship MV Sinar Kudus Indonesia. My memories go back to last year when news in the Netherlands enlivened by the many ships hijacked by Somali pirates, Somali pirates are always portrayed a ruthless pirate, and so many Somali pirates who had captured the Dutch and taken to prison the Netherlands, most of these pirates feel grateful and happy to have been thrown into prison Netherlands, which they say is far more at ease and comfortable than their previous hard life at sea.

When I re-look into the ball world, why many ships that netted Somali pirates, it was because the ship to be headed toward Europe from Asia, will pass through regions of Somalia to enter the Suez Canal, and of course every ship going to Europe will pass through the Dutch port first, and that is why the Dutch called the Gate of Europe.
And try to read a description of the pirates of Somalia, there has been a complete written any ship that succeeded them hostage, and the latest news about the MV Holy Light has been written.

And still admire the gifts of Mother day for me, when the Globe is at the plug into a wall outlet, then it will light globes, light bulb that is in the globe can then reveal the line of the route the explorers of the world, such as Columbus, Tasman, Cook with the commencement of exploration until the end. The maker of the globe is clever to create Explorers lines route is not visible, the same method shown on bills to distinguish where the original currency with the fake.

Thank you Luc, for having read my writing 'Where is Suriname country? " (Writing earlier) so you know that I want the world ball like a dream of childhood.

So, when Luc asked, 'what other country do you Want to visit? " And Luc just smiled and nodded after hearing my answer. That's make me happy!
1. Saudi Arabia (Mecca) for pilgrimage to Mecca
2. Japan, for the second time, third time ......... still the best country ever visit, I think is just fantastic
3. China
4. India
5. Switzerland
6. England
7. South Africa
And the other not so important to me. Unless off course Indonesia, the country and the place where I want to go back, (vacation once a year will never be enough hihihi). And all of the countries I mentioned, of course, i want to visit with you, my love ..........

PS: from the same title, by Yayang neville, just translet with little bit helping from 'mang' google :)

Tilang cara Belanda

Tinggal di negeri Belanda tentu saja berbeda dgn tinggal di Indonesia, salah satu contohnya adalah kegiatan sureat menyurat yang masih berlangsung meskipun dunia internet sudah marak dimana mana, jadi pos Belanda tidak akan mati, seperti yang terjadi di Indonesia. Hampir tiap hari Luc menerima surat dari berbagai instansi khususnya urusan pemabayaran, semua diingatkan dengan surat pemberitahuan. Saya yang baru 8 bulan tinggal di Belanda juga mulai menerima berbagai surat, khususnya dari gementee masalah kependudukan, rumah sakit, kraamzorg, GGD, sampai toko-toko yg menawarkan product untuk kebutuhan ibu dan bayi, karena saya terlacak sedang hamil, so iklan2 komersial berdatangan ke rumah dengan iming-iming 'sale' bahkan kadang gratis.
Kemarin tgl 16 juni 2009, Luc menerima 3 surat dan satu diantaranya membuat dia geram hanya melihat dari sampul amplopnya saja.
Langsung saya berkomentar, pasti masalah pemabayaran ini itu yang ga ada habisnya, dan dia menggeleng seraya menjawab.... "bukan, ini sangsi gara-gara saya melampaui batas maksimum kecepatan dari yang ditentukan"
Wah...wah wah... ini tilang maksudnya? Juga melalui surat? hahaha ini hal baru dalam kehidupan saya, dengan agak merebut surat yang sedang dibacanya, saya ikut membaca apa yang tertera di situ....
Disitu tertera, anda kelebihan kecepatan sampai 13 km/jam

Gementee/pemerintahan : Rotterdam
Lokasi : Statenweg (jl. Staten)
Tgl: 4 Mei 2009
Jam : 07.57
Kecepatan max yg dipserbolehkan: 50 km/jam
Kecepatan yg terkoreksi/tertangkap: 63 km/jam
Sangsi yg harus dibayar : 63 euro

Kemudian disitu dijelaskan bagaimana cara pembayarannya, yaitu dengan mengirimkan kembali acceptgiru yang juga dilampirkan di surat tersebut. Accepgiro tinggal dikirim balik, kita ga usah mengisi apa apa, karena semuanya sudah tercantum di accepgiro tsb termasuk no rekening yang dituju juga no rekening kita, jadi setelah kita menandatangani accepgiro tsb semuanya akan otomatis terbayar, mereka (central Justitiee Incasso Bureau/instasi yang menangani tilang) akan mendebet secara otomatis rekening kita.
Kemudian di bagian bawah, jika kita menolak untuk membayar dan ingin mengajukan banding (karena merasa tidak bersalah) juga tertera alamat kemana kita harus datang, juga tanggal kaduluarsa pembayaran maupun banding.
Jadi kalau kita tidak membayar dan tidak juga protes, maka akan datang surat kedua.

Setelah kita membaca surat tersebut Luc segera mengecek diamana Jl Staten itu, ternyata di daerah centrum alias pusat kota, agak sedikit mengeryik dia kebingungan untuk apa dia ke alun alun pada hari kerja dan di pagi hari, untunglah saya segera tersadar dan melihat agenda saya....
hahaha Luc melanggar kecepatan pada saat mengantarkan saya ke rumah Hany untuk cek up ke dokter, karena saya selalu ditemani Hany ke dokter saat cek up, jadi Luc harus mengantarkan saya terlebih dahulu ke rumah Hany sebelum dia kerja. So mau tak mau dia tidak bisa protes karena tertangkap basah pada saat kejadian, kita mengingatnya dengan baik, ya pada jam itu kita berada di Jl. Staten mungkin memang melebihi kecepatan yang diperbolehkan.

Jadi para polisi di Indonesia, jika sistem Belanda berlaku di Indonesia, tidak akan ada lagi polisi yang sembunyi di balik rerimbunan dan kemudian menyetop kendaraan kita untuk menilang, dan mengangkat tangan untuk menghormat kita sambil berkata ..... Selamat pagi/siang/malam Pak/Bu..dan bla bla bla kata basa basi yang bikin kita ene'k dan siap siap menyiapkan uang sogokan.... hahaha

Slaapkamar voor Cinta & Cahaya




Menyiapkan kelahiran ternyata ga sebatas siap mental, rohani, jiwa raga (ceilee..) tapi juga materi buat kelengkapan buah hati. Dan ternyata beda banget ama di Indonesia, kita ga usah direpotkan harus bikin kamar sendiri baut bayi, cukup di kamar orang tuanya beres... jaga sah sah saja kalo bayi tidur satu tempat tidur dgn ayah ibunya, disini ga gitu........ minimal bayi harus tidur di tempat tidur bayi, bukan di tempat tidur orang dewasa.
Dan begitu pertama kita reaserch tempat tidur bayi, berkali kali saya keliru, ternyata ada tiga macam yang menurut pandangan mata saya sama saja, pertama Ledikantje (nah ini yg namanya tempat tidur bayi, tanpa roda dan berukuran sedang), kedua box bayi (lebih besar dan ada rodanya) biasanya untuk bayi saat siang hari dan diletakan di ruang tengah, box digunakan jika bayi sudah bisa tengkurap sendiri (motah) sampai usia 2 tahun bayi biasanya masih main di box bayi. Yang ketiga Wig, biasanya untuk bayi dari usia 0 sampai 2 atau 3 bulan, nah wig ini lebih kecil ukurannya dan bisa digoyang alias dua sisi kakinya melengkung seperti kursi goyang. Ukuran wig lebih mirip box bayi yang ada di indonesia, kecil. Wig hanya digunakan untuk siang hari saja.
Nah ukuran standar tempat tidur bayi disini ya Ledikantje itu....
Berhubung saya Indonesia banget (hihi)atau karena mengingat keungan terbatas, kita memeutuskan tidak membeli wig, cukup Ledikantje saja... Tapi mijn man (om Luc) tetap bersrikeras box bayi harus tetap ada alasannya agar siang hari Cinta dan Cahaya bisa ber say helo dengan bundanya di ruang tengah, tidak melulu di kamar dan mereka bisa bermain berdua dalam satu box. So buat urusan box kita lihat saja nanti... hehe
Nah ini dia gambar dari ledikanje yg udah susah payah kita pilih

Lembur Ciawang

Di Singaparna - Kab. Tasikmalaya, ada makanan khas yang enak banget. "Ranginang" namanya. Biasanya disajikan dengan segelas air teh pahit dan dodol dengan bungkus daun jagung.

*Ranginang


*Dodol


*Menu Lengkap


Saya biasa menikmatinya di saat berkunjung ke rumah Mang Entis, orang kepercayaan Ibu untuk mengolah sawah.

*Keluarga Mang Entis


Suasananya serba hangat jika kita berkunjung kesana. Obrolan hangat, dicampur air teh yang hangat pula.
"Maknyus...." -mengutip salah satu gaya bicara seorang host acara TV.

Diselimuti suasana sejuk, sawah yang terhampar luas, sangat nikmat untuk beristirahat sejenak setelah melewati perjalanan dari Bandung selama -/+ 3 jam itu.
So... yang penasaran akan lezatnya "Ranginang", ayo kunjungi kota/kab Tasikmalaya.

*Sawah


*Kolam Bebek
