Corruptor's Clock

Purportedly, in the “hereafter” beyond this world, every single country will be given an extraordinary clock by the God. That clock is very special because it can give us an idea about honesty level from the government official of each country. The more a country citizens are honest, the slower the hand of clock ticks. And so with the other hand.

The Filipina’s clock ticks extremely fast. It means, the accusation was right that Marcos did corruptions. The same with Congo’s clock, Mobutu Seseko’s country, which ticks faster. There are a lot of dissimilarities for each country. Cameroon and China are pretty fast. The United States is quite normal, while Iran ticks incredibly slowly.

Komodo National Park Goes to Final

Jakarta - As an Indonesian, we should be proud of our beautiful natural sceneries. On July 21 2009 at 12:07 GMT (19:07 WIB), New 7 Wonders Foundation, has announced Komodo National Park (Ind: Taman Nasional Komodo) as one of 28 finalists eligible to proceed to the final stage (Stage III). Indonesian people are expected to support as much as possible so that the Komodo National Park in Flores, Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, could be one of the seven wonders of the world.

Yesterday I found an interesting object to be put on my snapshots. It was a doll. Anyway, it's not an ordinary doll which girls always play with. It was a wood-made doll. The doll was actually bought three or four months ago at an exhibition. The name is "HORTA" grass doll (Ind: boneka rumput horta). It is practically a plant media packed in the form of a doll grown by grass. This doll is very suitable as an exercise for children on how to grow plants so they will care more to their environment.

Horta doll is made of wood powder formed in various kinds of shape and grass seed is put on top of that so it will grow hair (in the form of grass). It's really easy to grow the hair. First of all, place the doll in the water container with the position of the head facing downward for approximately an hour. Then place the doll on a dry case. Don't forget to water its head every day. After a week, you can see the grass will start growing. You can do some experiments to make the doll more stylish.

So-Called Pool

A friend of mine was visiting Jakarta a couple of days ago. He told that he wanted to go for a walk while in Jakarta because he had to get back to Semarang on Monday. So I took him to Margo City to play pool. I thought that i had practiced with my colleagues back then so I could show him (a.k.a show off - ind: pamer) I was a great player. We rented a table and ordered some drinks. I took the break, and...

Broken Pot

A few weeks ago, I went to my friend's wedding. At the party, we had chit-chat and laughed together when suddenly my friend accidentally broke a flower pot (well, it wasn't a flower anyway).
