Kungfu Panda:my point of view

Last week, one of my family, lend me a copy of film, Kungfu Panda. Well, it’s been a long time I want to watch the film. It’s kind a late, since the film issued in 2008, mais ce n’est pas grave...My cousin who has already watched this film, thought that the film just like others, it means, nothing can she find something special. She thought that Escape to Madagascar2 was better than this. I was agreed with her, since I didn’t watch all, just in the beginning, hehehe...
Well, for make it sure, I try to watch it until the end, and then I realise that my opinion of this film was definitely wrong. Since the beginning, I found another interest thing, beside its funny and entertaining of course. It was the dialog between the actors that sometime make me open up my mind. Well, it’s just a simple word, but when we thought deeply, it has many a great taught, I think. Especially from master oogway says for in this film, his character is wise and patient. And voilà, here are some of those dialogs:

- Master shifu: “Master Hog way u want to see me, is something wrong?”
Master oogway: “Why was something being wrong for me to want to see my old friend?”
Master Shifu: “So nothing is wrong?”
Master Oogway: “Well I didn’t say that”

- Mr oogway: “I have a vision, Tai Lung will return”
master shifu: “that’s impossible, he is in a prison”
master oogway: “nothing is impossible”.

- mr shifu: ……….u are about to pointed tigress, and that thing just in front of him, that was just an accident.
Mr oogway: “there are no accident”.

- master oogway: “ quit don’t quit….noodles don’t noodles, you are too concern with what was and what will be,
- There is a say; ‘yesterday is history, tomorrow’s mystery and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called a present’.

- Mr. Shifu: “That Panda? Master that panda is not the dragon warrior, it was just an accident”.
- Master oogway: “There are no accident”.
- Mr shifu: “But there are thing that we can not control”.
- Master Oogway: “Maybe it can, if you up willing to try it, to nurture it, to believe in it.
- Mr. shifu: “But how master? How? I need your help master”.
- Master Oogway: “No, YOU JUST NEED TO BELIEVE, promise me Shifu, and promise me to believe...”
………………--……………..

- Po’s father: “Po, I’m sorry things didn’t work out, it is just wasn’t made to be. Po, Forget everything else, your destiny is still awaits. We are noodles folks……”
- Po: “I don’t know dad; honestly, sometime I can’t believe I’m actually your son.
- Po’s father: “Oohh…, Po, I think it’s time I told you something I should’ve told you, a long time ago”.
- Po: “Ok.”.
- Po’s father: “The secret ingredients of my secret ingredients soup”.
- Po: Oohhh
- Po’s father: “Come here, the secret ingredients is…. Nothing”.
- Po:”Hah?”
- Po’s father: “You’ve heard me, nothing, there’s no secret ingredient”.
- Po: “Wait, wait it’s just a plain of noodles soup? You don’t add something kind of special sauce or something?”
- Po’s father: “Don’t have to, to make something special you just have to believe its special”.

Maybe after you read all the word that I’ve found, it seems just ordinary word to you. You can say, “Yak, why you write that? Everybody has already known about that, for example, the word; “we have to believe to our self”. Yeah, what I’m going to say is, sometime we forget with all of that-spirit and courageous word- because when we are in bad condition, on falling down in to a deep hole, that sometime, we make it by ourselves, we forget with all those things, things that can make us stay in courage. We have already knew that we shouldn’t desperate when we have failed of something, yeah we already knew that, but why, we always trapped in those condition even we know, that shouldn’t happen to us? Well, overall, the film teaches us in how we should believe in our self, yes, Believe In Ourselves! And for more, Even though, the film is dedicated for children, it’s possible for the adults to enjoy it, and learn from it, so better you watch it by your self and tell me what you have found…

Kota mati.

Mengingatkanku apa yang terjadi akhir tahun 2007, tepatnya bulan November. Ya bulan di saat aku mengkakhiri kuliahku di kota itu, Semarang.

Pada akhirnya tanggal 14 november 2007, aku ikut wisuda. Yah apa yang telah ditunggu oleh keluarga dan semua termasuk aku sendiri, akhirnya hari itu datang juga. Sempat meragukan kemampuanku sendiri, merasa was-was, karena sudah ditinggal teman-teman yang lain yang sudah lulus lebih dulu. Dan kemudian, karena keyakinan, usaha dan doa, akhirnya aku bisa...thanks for always encourage me, my friends...I’m really afraid of losing it

Tiga hari sebelum wisuda, tanggal 11 November 2007, kawasan kampus Unnes, Sekaran, dilanda hujan lebat dan angin kencang. Aku baru kembali dari rumah. Ketika sampai di Sekaran, kira-kira hampir maghrib, semuanya terlihat lebih gelap, karena tidak ada lampu yang menyala. Banyak pohon tumbang di pinggir jalan. Aku yang baru saja tiba agak terperangah melihat apa yang terjadi. Karena selama kuliah ditempat ini, aku rasa ini pertama kalinya aku lihat suasana seperti ini. Ternyata sampai malam haripun, mati listrik masih melanda kawasan kosku. Yah, aku dan temanku, indah, seperti biasa keluar untuk makan malam. Suasana saat itu, sangat...sepi.. gelap, dan terlihat sisa kerusakan akibat angin dan hujan deras. Ya, seperti kota mati. Hening, berantakan, kosong…

Dan ternyata sampai pagipun listrik belum juga menyala. Alhasil, aku harus numpang mandi di kos temanku, karena pompa air di kosku tentu saja tidak dapat digunakan. Bahkan karena pakaian untuk wisudaku belum dirapikan, aku membawanya sekalian, untuk numpang diseterika.hihi…

Kalau, diingat-ingat, banyak juga kisah menjelang wisudaku., bahkan sempat terlintas dipikiranku..apakah ini semua untuk menyambut hari wisuda kami…??(hmm sungguh pikiran yang menggelikan bukan?)

Finally, we were really happy, in the day of our inauguration, even some of us, including me, didn’t know what we would do after all... but at least, we were one step further to reach our dream and to be more closely to it…tentu saja dengan usaha,doa, serta keyakinan, bahwa kami bisa melewati semua..amin.. Nothing is impossible, right…

Alhamdulillah…

« Warna seperti menghilang, di kota ini

Hitam dan putih masa lalu, telah membisu

semua berakhir di sini, tempatku mulai bermimpi

masih menari disini, langkahmu yang telah mati

udara kini berubah, di kota mati

seperti kisah masa lalu

kini membisu…

…………..

……………

aaa..masih bertahan sisa mimpi-mimpiku di kota ini »

Petai? Je l’aime

Salah satu lalapan favorit saya adalah petai. Yah, mungkin kedengarannya menjijikan bagi yang membenci jenis biji-bjian ini. Kebanyakan orang memang tidak suka dengan baunya yang sangat menyengat itu. Sebenarnya saya juga bertanya-tanya apa sih manfaat petai selain hanya membuat bau yang khas itu, heheh...nikmat?itu menurut saya, dan tentu saja makan dengan lalap petai membuat nafsu makan saya bertambahh.hehehe...tapi tentu saja, saya akan pilih-pilih tempat untuk bisa menikmati biji-bijian yang satu ini. Soalnya, mungkin kalau bau mulut gampang diatasi, tapi kalau bau yang ditimbulkan pada saat ke belakang, hmmm, kasian juga orang yang sedang menggunakan toilet selain kita. Maka dari itu, terkadang saya akan pikir-pikir dulu untuk bisa makan petai di rumah seseorang yang belum begitu akrab dengan saya.
Kemarin tidak sengaja saya membaca majalah wanita lama di rumah saudara (Femina:18-24 mei 2006). Di majalah tersebut saya menemukan surat pembaca yang bertanya tentang apa sih manfaat petai sebenarnya. Apakah petai hanya bisa membuat aroma yang khas atau sebenarnya petai juga mempunyai khasiat. Dalam majalah tersebut dijelaskan, bahwa ternyata petai atau stinky bean ini mempunyai banyak khasiat. Hmm, boleh juga neh artikel dan kemudian saya mencoba menuliskannya di blog saya ini.
Menurut seorang dokter bernama DR. Laila Hamid (namanya saya temukan di bawah artikel), petai (stinky bean) ternyata kaya manfaat, kenapa? Tahukah Anda dibandingkan dengan apel, petai memiliki protein empat kali lebih banyak, karbohidrat dua kali lipat, fosfor tiga kali lipat, vitamin A dan zat besi lima kali lipat, dan dua kali lipat jumlah vitamin dan mineral lainnya. Kemudian, menurut salah satu riset yang dipublikasikan dalam The New England Journal of Medicine, makan petai sebagai bagian dari makanan sehari-hari, akan menurunkan risiko tekanan kematian karena stroke sampai 40%. Ini disebabkan petai mempunyai kandungan kalium yang tinggi, yang mampu menurunkan risiko tekanan darah dan stroke. Tidak hanya itu, petai merupakan sumber energi bagi tubuh karena mengandung sukrosa, fruktosa, dan glukosa. Bagi Anda yang susah buang air beasr, jangan khawatir karena ternyata petai juga mengandung serat yang dapat membantu melancarkan proses buang air besar. Petai juga mengandung tryptophan, sejenis protein yang diubah tubuh menjadi serotonin. Zat ini membuat badan menjadi relaks dan memperbaiki mood. Petai juga sangat baik dikonsumsi secara teratur oleh mereka yang menderita anemia, karena kandungan zat besinya yang tinggi. welll, a little bit shocking huhh?
Jadi buat Anda penggemar petai seperti saya jangan khawatir, ternyata bila ditinjau dari sisi kesehatan, lalapan yang banyak dibenci karena baunya ini bermanfaat juga bagi tubuh. Dan tentu saja agar bau petai tidak mengganggu orang disekitar kita, jangan lupa sikat gigi, atau seprti Dorce, yang segera kumur-kumur pakai kopi setelah menyantap petai. Tentu saja, dengan begitu, bau petai di mulut akan berkurang, walaupun nanti hal itu tidak akan begitu berpengaruh pada saat kita ke kamar kecil..hehehee.. Jadi lalap pakai petai?why not? buat para pembenci petai,peace...!
Hmm, jadi bertanya-tanya, kapan gua terakhir makan petai yak???>.<

earth from above- vu du ciel

Peut être, pour vous qui habitez en Indonésie ont déjà su cette émission. Il s’appelle « Vu du Ciel » ou comme en ici on traduit en anglais « earth from above ». L’émission est annoncée par Metro TV, depuis quand, j’oublie. Elle raconte du nature, surtout la plant, l’animal, et aussi les humains, tous ce qui est partie dans cette vie naturelle, l’environnement. Il ne s’agit que de la beauté de la nature, mais aussi comment ces trois partis de la nature vivent en balance sans faire la destruction à l’autre. L’émission commence par une vision de la terre du ciel, peut être c’est pourquoi on appelle cette émission, Vu du Ciel. Voila parce qu’on prenait l’image du ci-dessous. C’était l’image qui me fait aimer cette émission. On pouvait voir, comment la terre du ci-dessus. C’est magnifique. Mais ce n’est que ça, mais aussi la narration, et l’histoire qui raconte dans l’émission.
That’s make people who watch it, have more consider about earth, with all that happen, the magnificent picture and of course the destruction that have already have happen. And most of the destruction is made by human. Since some people have made change in ecosystems indirectly. Human beings always do something to fulfill their need. Actually, that’s natural. And every living thing in the world has to survive. But sometime, the struggle that the human do for survive has made damage in ecosystem, without they realize it, it could be worse when it interference the natural balance. For example, once, the program shows how the transgenic plant can be a menace in human life. The genetic operation in plant is done for make the plant resistant to any germs. It is important, because the transgenic plant is hoped can increase the quality of the plant. It is not only make the plant in high quality but also the plant can produce more fruits, and of course since they are resistant, it also increases the harvest. In this state, it produces more benefits for the farmers and the company who plant it. A transgenic plant is a plant that has been genetically modified. Since it has been modified, the plant is differently from an ordinary plant. It can stand in worse state, resistant with any germs, the birds and the beast. But despite genetic plant give more benefits to the farmer; it’s supposed to have some side effect for the human body too. The shows propose the question, if it is not safe for birds, beast, how come it will safely consumed by human being? Since the birds and the beast are living too as human likely.
That’s only few story of this show. Watching this show can make us to be more consider about our environment. We can know that something ordinary thing that human have done to nature, direct or indirectly, can make give a menace in natural living, and even can be a menace to human it self for further. The program teaches us how to make a healthy life without make any harm to natural life. As human, we are the part of this life. It is our duty to always maintain our environment in good condition, and keep the balance of the nature and living thing.
Just like this evening, it is about the extinction of the wild animal which is caused by destruction in their habitats.
It took the example in South Africa, The Kruger National Park. It is a place were many wild animal live. The animal can have their territory that originally theirs. It shows that animal and human can live side by side. In this place, human are not considered to be predator, and the animal are not the game. Human are accepted here. Even human can observe the animal in close. That’s one a proof that if human respect the wildlife, it can make a good condition, human cannot live without animal and so does the opposite.
See what Yann Arthus, the photographer in Earth From Above, say about the purpose of this show;
“With Earth from Above I simply want people to see the earth as it is today, as faithfully as possible. What motivated me is the impact of the photograph can make within the framework of environmental preservation. The great novelty of our time is that mankind has the power to change its environment and I want my photos to testify to this fact so people can realize this.” (Yann Arthus-Bertrand)

We’ve been threw away from Mangkunegaran Palace...

Mon premier expérience au Palais de Mangkunegaran

Wait...wait; don’t take any conclusion before u read all. Well, without any means or tendency, the title is lil’ bit abundant, huh? Honnêtement, je ne veux que raconte, ce qui est s’est passé à moi et ma cousine au Palais de Mangkunegaran Solo.

As we know, there are two main palaces in Solo. The Kasunanan Palace which is situated near Klewer, I forgot the name of the area, hwehehehe, and the other one, named Mangkunegaran Palace situated of course in Mangkunegaran.

What I’m going to tell is my first visit to Mangkunegaran Palace. Once, I’ve ever visit the Kasunanan before, so I’m willing to visit Mangkunegaran Palace too. Ma petite soeur Ana, who studies in Solo, showed me a picture that she took from the Mangkunegaran Palace. And it made me a little bit jealous, why she did take me with her to visit, as she already knows that I really want to go there. Well, she’s sorry for that, she explained to me that she went there with her friend and it wasn’t planned before, just spontaneity, so she didn’t have time to tell me about it. Ok, I understand then.

Then a several months a go, in February, finally I had a chance to visit it. Actually I went to Solo because my cousin, sita, asked me to accompany her to go to library. She wanted to look for the references for her final project. Well, since I don’t have anything to do, I decided to go with her.

After she finished her business in library, I posed her an idea what if we visit the Mangkunegaran Palace. She agreed with me.

Then, voilà, we went to the palace.

My cousin, Ana, told me that she didn’t have to pay any cost to enter to the palace, so it means it’s free. That’s make me more interested, hehehe.. gratisan.. gitu..

Ok, we arrived in front of the palace. I was confuse, and wondering where the enter door was. After all, we could find it and entered the area of the palace. In front door, there were a several people, I think it was the receptionist and several students who are having their job practice as tour guide, or maybe there are already tour guides, I don’t know. Some of them wore a uniform.

There was a huge building inside, and not only one, so we were a little bit confused, where we can start the tour. Even Ana had told us, that it was free, we still, wondering, were we doing right?

Then, we walked through passed the building and we arrived in a place, where we can see a lot of palace’s collections such as, ceramics, cups and a lot of other’s fine art. And then, as we thought it was good views to take a picture in that place, so we take a several picture from it. While we were taking the picture and trying to enjoy our business, suddenly, une dame, venait. We try to ask her some question about the place, such, did we could enter inside, etc. Then she asked us, if we didn’t take a tour guide with us, of course we said no. We don’t need a guide, as we are Indonesian too, so what for. She asked us too, have we already given the report in front door, that we would go this further to the building, we said not yet. She said that so it was prohibition for us to enter that building. She suggested us to absent first, I do not know why, as my sister, Ana, did not tell me about this. Well, we thought that’s ok to continue our tour, and we try to ignore the woman’s suggestion. But then, she warned again, “mba’ harus lapor dulu di depan, kalau belum lapor ga boleh kesini”.

Well, I was a little bit confuse too, if we have to absent first, why the man in front door, I think he know us as he saw us when we passed, did not notice us to absent first? And, from the front door, I did not see any sign board that say ‘tourists have to absent first if want to go to enter the palace’, no we didn’t see any kind of board like that.

So we just left the palace, turn in to the front door, but we didn’t make the absent.

Kami pikir, jangan-jangan ntar disuru bayar,heheheh…pulang sajalah…tapi kalau harus bayar, ko ga ada loket, or kami yang ga melihat papan loketnya.. Or gimana c..??

Agak kecewa juga si, belum bisa muter-muter…how come yaahh, is there a new rule or…we both don’t know...

Afer that, we went to Balekambang and met Ana. Then we told about what just happen to us in Mankunegaran.

Ana: lhohh ko iso, kon lapor barang, wingi aku ora ik.

Nous: la mbuh, tapi kemaren you gratis kan masuknya..

Ana: iya c, aku lewat samping. La kalian lewat mana?

Nous: lewat depan lah, la ga tahu jalan samping lewat mana.

Ana: kemaren pas di dalam, ga ditanyain ik, apa jangan-jangan pas ntu, aku bareng ma turis India ?

Nous: la mbuhh…

Yahh agak kecewa dengan apa yang terjadi, kami mencoba refresh kembali, sebenarnya prosedur masuknya gimana, la kami juga ga nemu papan penjelasan. Apa kami yang ga lihat…sebenarnya gratis ga c..(maunya nehh, cari gratisann hehehe..(>.<)

Maybe next time, we’ll visit there again. I have a plan, and hope that we will find out, what exactly happen...
