2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake

Berita Kepada Kawan
by Ebiet G. Ade

Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan
Sayang, engkau tak duduk di sampingku kawan
Banyak cerita yang mestinya kau saksikan
Di tanah kering berbatuan
Tubuh ku terguncang di hempas batu jalanan
Hati tergetar menampak kering rerumputan
Perjalan ini pun seperti jadi saksi
Gembala kecil menangis sedih
Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya
Ketika ia ku tanya "Mengapa?"
Bapak ibunya telah lama mati
Ditelan bencana tanah ini
Sesampainya di laut ku khabarkan semuanya
Kepada karang, kepada ombak, kepada matahari
Tetapi semua diam, tetapi semua bisu
Tinggal aku sendiri terpaku menatap langit
Barangkali di sana ada jawabnya
Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana
Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan melihat tingkah kita
Yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa
Atau alam mulai enggan bersahabat dengan kita
Coba kita bertanya pada rumput yang bergoyang

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was a magnitude 9.0 undersea earthquake on December 26, 2004 which generated tsunamis that caused one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history.

This rare type of earthquake known as a megathrust earthquake struck at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. It was the largest earthquake on Earth since the 9.2-magnitude Good Friday Earthquake of 1964, and tied for fourth largest since 1900.

The tsunamis devastated the shores of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and other countries with waves of up to 15 m in height. Even the east coast of Africa (especially Somalia) was hit, despite being located 4,500 km (2,800 mi) or more west of the epicentre.

On 26 Dec 2004, we,as humanbeing have to take our responsibility for making Nature angry. Maybe the nature remind us...for not always make a war, hurting nature, and also another, bomb everywhere, playing with the death, playing with innocent life, acting like a God who has a right to take somebody life.

Let's taking some break and realizing what we had done before.Nature give us a chance for help one another through this disaster. Nature was boring with all damages we had done,all of the racist thing that we done in the name of God. God make no differences between us.Australian,English,Indonesian, Malaysian,Chinese,Korean,Indian, etc.We all the same in God eyes. How bout if we appreciate what God has in His mind and not to make Him angry? Just make a peace inside our heart so there will be no jealous feeling among us.

Waterfalls

Time to refresing.. ^^ Today I go to Nangkajajar Waterfall, but brownies waterfall is all we got (maybe because it's rainy season). This time the team member are Bus,Panci,Mut,and Pyor. Then, after burning a little of our fat while we walk in the jungle, we continued our journey to Batu. We eat "bakso" and drink "KUD milk". After we have more power, we go to Coban Rondo Waterfall. It's clean and cold!!! Satisfied and tired we stoped for a while on Pujon before we back to Surabaya.

My Brain Usage

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 29%
Visual : 70%
Left : 36%
Right : 63%

Lusida, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.

You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.

In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."

All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.

You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.

It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

Life and Belief

Last Saturday my bestfriend send a short message,told me that she is positive. hhehehe she is pregnant.Congratulation!So her child will be the first junior in our community and our first niece.

Then suddenly this bad news come, my bestfriend on her test result was positive on some virus,it's not bad for her but for the baby. I hope that she can manage her life and also the baby's seriously on this present time. And when it's time to choose, just listen to her heart which better for her life,her husband's,and also her child's not just because her belief. But it's all depend on her and her husband. I just can pray ask 4 the best for their family.
