Best Christmas Jokes

Today is sunny and warm Christmas in Indonesia. I'm at Mozes Kilangin Airport Timika (TIM) on the way to Denpasar Bali (DPS) with Garuda Indonesia GA-653 to celebrate Christmas with my family from Yogyakarta (JOG). But no Christmas is complete without some terrible cracker jokes, and this one is my favourite.

It's a romantic full moon in Bali, Indonesia, when Slamet said, "Hey Sri, let's do Weeweechu."

"Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.

"Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Slamet begged.

"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Sri.

"Please, darling, just once, do Weeweechu with me."

Sri looked at Slamet and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."

Slamet grabbed his guitar and they both sang...

"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

I wish you happy holidays full of warmth. To the moments of reflection for a moment to stop and see what you can not see the go - a simple joy because Jesus was born for us.

White Tiger in Indonesia

White tiger is endangered species in India. I have my chance to take photos of white tiger when visited Taman Safari Indonesia at Cisarua, Bogor.



Taman Safari Indonesia have white tiger babies, and we can take photo with them.



Take photo with 'big cat' is very fun!



I still have question about how to get license to take care of tiger in Indonesia. Some people already did that, and it will be interesting if I can have baby tiger in our backyard.

My Personal Movies Wish List

When I was in junior high school, I like to watch TV serial. Most of them are hero and superhero serial. Now, some of them already go to the movies, some of them are: Spiderman, Superman, The-A-Team. I also see regularly the new serial of Hawai-Five-O in AXN. I just wish producers in Holywood would make te following TV serial into a movie:

MacGyver



The secret agent MacGyver played by Richard Dean Anderson. MacGyver prefers non-violent resolutions where possible, and refuses to handle a gun.

The Six Million Dollar Man



I don't know what is price to build bionic technology in 2012. Even with inflation since 1980, six million dollar is still big money (al least for me). Inflation make some goods-price higher, but products of technology should be cheaper day by day? The good news, just heard the news that this movie in on production.

How about you?

Negative Film Scanner SVP FS1700

The result is:



I love this tool because I can take it anywhere, and I can scan it standalone because it have built in LCD screen to see the result. The scanned pics saved directly into SD Card memory.

Farusu or Valssu Zip Update From Internet

Why so many people search for adult content to my website? Valssu mean "farce" in Japanese word (ファルス - Farusu). Japanese people have a joke or parody by modify comic or animation. Sometimes people change the comic "Naruto" into adult comic, or change the story inside it. Some people said that create farusu or valssu is a creativity, some people said that create them can hurt the owner of copyright.

Maybe people bored with original content, so with their creativity, they modified some aspect of the comics, but sometimes they created the jokes or gags too far. I ever saw farusu that modify story or dragon ball. Some programmer also created farusu by modify software or game.

Gamisia Me Pantremenes Ellinides On Free Business Advertising

I'm very interested when someone searching and find something ini my website. But then I interested with the word and did a research. I got the phonetic typing from Google Translate for the word gamisia me pantremenes Ellinides and got this in Greek language: γαμισια με παντρεμενεσ ελληνιδεσ

Gamisi, means "fuck" in Greek. Also Gamias means Fucker. Sometimes it is also used to describe a difficult situation (see example). Gamisia (γαμισια) is the definition of fuck in plural. Extes phga me thn Litsa kai kaname kati gamisia - χθες πηγα με την Λιτσα και καναμε κατι γαμισι (Means: Yesterday I went with Litsa and we fucked our brains out). Also can be used as: Extes sthn douleia htan poly gamisi - χθες στην δοθλεια ηταν πολυ γαμισι (Means slang: Yesterday at work it was very hard).

The moral of the story? So many people searching for adult content, and sometime make an adult word as key to find adult content. I have my friend learned foreign language and what he did was learn adult and dirty words first. With this trick or method, he quickly learned the new language. How about business advertising? Sometimes advertiser using adult words and content to advertise and attract the consumers or customers.

Notes: some people said that this post is too vulgar, so I'm very sorry. But I just to learn languages that I don't know it's meaning.

The Next Project: Marina Bay Sands Skypark Singapore

I visited Singapore just in 4 hours, transit on the way from Bangkok to Jakarta. So, I don't have much time to visit some facilities in Singapore. I just visited Merlion and Orchad Rd. to met Agus, my friend who working at Plasa Singapura. Then back to Changi using MRT for the next flight to Jakarta.

Actually I have some list that I want to do in Singapore beside meet my friends:

1. Singapore Flyer
At a height of 165m, Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel and is set to be one of Asia’s biggest tourist attractions.

2. Universal Studios Singapore
I want to meet the magic here. I love some cartoons from Universal Studios. The cheapest way for me to enjoy Universal Studio is by visit Singapore, because it's very near from Indonesia.

3. Marina Bay Sands Skypark Singapore
Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including cost of the prime land. I hope someone will give me a hotel voucher, so I not just visit the sands skypark, but also be a guest that stay here.



Yes, someday I should visit Singapore again. Better if there is someone that will cover my expenses to Singapore. FYI, Yogyakarta-Singapore return trip just need less than USD 100 using promo tickets of Air Asia.

Landed at Thailand

How Can Yogyakarta Citizen Enjoy Thailand Without Having Travel to Thailand

Thailand is one of exotic destinations in Southeast Asia. The government is improving their support in Manufacture Industry and Tourism.

Some of real estate developers at Yogyakarta give family travel package for their customer as bonus. Few years ago, they offer free travel to Singapore and Malaysia for everyone who bought their real estate products. But now, with price war or airline tickets, and free fiscal for Indonesian citizen (registered tax-payer) who want to go abroad, travel is cheaper. Then, the trend in 2010 is a free travel to Thailand.

Special Region of Yogyakarta Province have 3185.80 km2 area and about 3.4 million population. Yogyakarta also have main revenue from educations service and tourism. There are so many students (domestic and foreign) studying at Yogyakarta.

Did We Met Celebrities at Pesta Blogger Jogja 2010?

Pesta Blogger (Blogger Party) Jogja has been held at 8-9th October 2010. With "celebrating diversity" as main topic, this blogger party put together online and offline community to be unite.

Maybe you know Herman Saksono (with his unfamous scandal), Shrivastava Agatha (Mbakdos), Ronny Agung Rahmanto (Ronny Lantip, nearly-insane web designer/programmer), Atika N (Tikabanget, TK-25256 with 'ituh' posting), Thomas Arie Setiawan (one of first bloggers from Yogyakarta), Nurudin Jauhari (with his online revenue), and other persons who attend Jogja Blogger Party 2010.

The fun thing at the party is someone said to me that he met celebrities at Pesta Blogger. From world dictionary I got the meaning of celebrity:

celebrity — n , pl -ties
1. a famous person: a show-business celebrity 2. fame or notoriety

From Wikipedia:

A celebrity (sometimes referred to as a celeb in popular culture) is easily recognized in a society or culture. Generally speaking, a celebrity is someone who gets media attention and shows an extroverted personality.

Wikipedia support my thesis that most people at Pesta Blogger Jogja 2010 are celebrities, because most of them are easily recognized in blogger society. Maybe taxy driver at Jombor Bus Station near my house did not recognize them, but people in the blogger community may know them and became fans or follower.

Computer have screen like TV. Our unconscius mind maybe have 'automatic consideration' that every person that shown at TV screen are celebrity. Internet already make history that person can be famous just posting something unique content on the Internet. From Yogyakarta we have Tony Blank (prolove separatos!) with his video on the internet (I regret he did not come at the blogger party).

So, why did you not write on a blog or create someting valuable in the internet to be a celebrities? However, thanks to a committee of the party who've worked hard for the success of this event. Great job!

Thanks to XL123, Global Intermedia, BlogDetik, Plasa, SPBU 44.551.11, IDWebhost, Ganti Baju, Dagadu, Bakoel Tiket, Centro, Petak Umpet, Joglo Mlati, Kedai Kopi, Pino Jaket and other sponsors that support the committee.

How to Get Cheap Airline Tickets from Garuda Indonesia Airways

As national flag carrier with first class services, Garuda Indonesia offer ticket that more expensive than other Indonesian airlines. To compete with other cheap airlines, Garuda Indonesia have subsidiary called Citilink. But, from my experience, there is a way to obtain cheap airline ticket from Garuda Indonesia.

Garuda Indonesia have economy and business class. I will not review about business class. My first and last seat in business class was on December 2008 from Jayapura to Jakarta, and the price was hurting my pocket! For economy class, Garuda Indonesia have fare class H, V, B, Q, N, K, L, M, and Y. Fare class H is cheapest and class Y is most expensive.

There are few tricks to booking cheap ticket from Garuda Indonesia:

1. Do booking long time before departure date.
Book for about 3-4 weeks before departure to get seat available. But, sometimes, you can go online and do booking in before departure at 4 AM (GMT+7), because they sometimes open promo tickets in that hour, but it too risky. You even can't get a seat if in peak season.

2. Booking via internet
After open Internet booking service, Garuda Indonesia provide promo class H and V only on Internet booking. Always check best deals on the Garusa Indonesia's website, and if you have a lucky day, you can get cheap ticket. The requirement is you should have credit card that allow online payment. But, friend of mine don't have a credit card, then he book it on the website, get booking code, then call the Garuda Indonesia call center 0804 1 807807 or +62 21 2351 9999.

3. Direct booking in the local branch
Sometimes local branch can issue a cheap ticket, but it's very rare. Once again, if you have lucky day, you can get promo ticket from the branch. But, too often check fare in branch is embarassing, so to check good price anytime, check via their website. The exception, if you have relative or friend in Garuda Indonesia company, you may ask them for a cheap tickets.

Happy booking and have a nice flight!

Travel to West Papua and Papua New Guinea

Papua was divided into 2 area, namely West Papua (Irian Jaya, Indonesia) and Papua New Guinea. The land boundary between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea stretches for some 750 kilometers located straight at 141 degree East. Maybe border between Papua and Papua new Guineae is most straight country border in the world.



People in West Papua speak with Indonesian Language and people in Papua New Guniea speak English. So, if you want to travel to Papua, you should know where the country is. If you want to go West Papua, you should have VISA from Government of Republic of Indonesia. If you want to visit Papua island in the east area, you should have permit from Government of Papua New Guinea.

Sometimes if you accidentally landing in Indonesian area and then you want to continue journey to Papua New Guineae, you can get permit from Papua New Guinea embassy at Jayapura, so you can visit Papua New Guinea from Jayapura using car to border area in Wutung then enter Papua New Guinea with pass from the Embassy. The after entering Papua New Guinea area, you can rent a car that already standby in the border area and continue journey to Vanimo for about 4 hours. From Vanimo, you can fly to Port Moresby using Air Nugini.



The problem with straight border is, some villages in border area located in both country. So, it's very difficult to determine nationality of the people in the villages. In the border area there are tade between both country. Many people in Papua New Guineae using Telkomsel (Indonesian GSM/cellular provider) to communicate each other in border area. They also buy electronic and other goods from Indonesia in the market in Wutung. It's very easy because we don't need Passport to walk across the border in about 500 meters area. The market located inside the area. Just get permit from Army and border security by showing ID card the we can go to each other and shopping in the market.

How to Enjoy Travel to Bali in 6 Days

Last month I and my family did a travel to Bali. My first visit to Bali was in 1999 while still in high school. After that I often visited the island to complete the projects in Bali and sometimes only transit to go to Jayapura.

Here is the route we passed:

First Day
The first day our family arrived at lunch time, so we are looking for a hotel in advance. We chose a hotel on Jl Tukad Batanghari, Denpasar. For those who like to surf, you can choose a hotel in Kuta Beach area. However, if you prefer to go around Bali, you should find the hotel in the middle of town, because the road to Kuta Beach is often jammed, especially during the holiday season.

In the evening, we spent the time to enjoy the sunset at Kuta Beach.

Day Two
In the morning, we traveled to Benoa Beach, where we played parasailing and visiting Turtle Island. On the Island some workers are breeding turtles and some other animals. We had pictures taken with the animals there.



Then we went into dreamland, and continue the trip to Uluwatu. Uluwatu Kecak dance was held, at an entry cost of IDR 70000 per person. After Uluwatu, we continue to enjoy the sunset at Jimbaran and enjoying a meal at the beachside restaurant.

Third Day
We did a trip to Kintamani passing performances Barong Dance, Ubud Village, then enjoy lunch at a restaurant with Lake Kintamani view. The next trip we visited the Tampaksiring Palace, the resting place of President of the Republic of Indonesia when he was in Bali. Because the time is night, we went back to the hotel.

Day Four


We continue the journey to Bedugul. Next we stopped for a moment in Joger shop to buy shirts with the funny and unique words. Our trip that day ended in Tanah Lot, and we enjoy the beautiful sunset there.



Fifth Day
We passed the fifth day by doing a photo in Bali traditional dress, and shopping to buy gift for family in Jogja.



Sixth Day
Packing, then go to the Ngurah Rai Airport, return to Yogyakarta.

Money Converter or Currency Converter

My friend asking me about money converter. Convert with what? He said that he want to convert USD (United States Dollar) to IDR (Indonesian Rupiah).

Based on dictionary.com, here is the definition of money and currency:

• Money is any circulating medium of exchange, including coins, paper money, and demand deposits.
• Currency is something that is used as a medium of exchange; money.

I though that what my friend want to said is currency converter. Yahoo and XE have currency converter.

I check exchange rates at KlikBCA, or I can get exchange rates information from other websites of Indonesian Banks.

The Meaning of Sindur from Puncak Jaya Papua

Living and travelling around Papua make me know that each tribe and region have it's own culture and language. If you want to explore deep area in centre Papua, like Jayawijaya (Wamena), Tolikara, Puncak Jaya, and Pegunungan Bintang, you should using airplane to reach them.

The isolation of area make each tribe and person in each region have it's own
language. For the example, Puncak jaya people change letter 't' (Tango) with 's' (Sierra) and vice versa. So, if you want to tell 'tidur' (sleep), you should say 'sidur' or easilly you can say 'sindur'. Term 'saya' (me) is said 'taya'.

Taya tudah ngancuk, mau sindur dulu...
