My Last Holiday

    Hey fellas!
     Long time no see! It's been a while, right? Now my first semester in SMAN 3 Bandung is finished. The second semester is coming! Can't wait!
     Oh, I got a two-weeks-holiday-time between the first and the second semester. Actually it's not quite special because I couldn't go to my grandpa and grandma house in Sumbawa Island. But, it's quite amazing though! I got a nice and lovely time with my small family. I visited many wonderful places. Do you guys want to hear the story of my last holiday? Well I hope you are. Hehe.

     After I got my report card, I got an extracurricular activitiy on Ranca Upas, Ciwidey, Bandung. It was an activity for Astronomy Research Team. Yeah, I was a part of Astronomy Research Team on my school. Our activity was called 'Stargazing'. It was a very memorable memory with my friends. We saw some beautiful stars constellations such as Orion, Taurus, and many more. We had to wait until midnight to see the stars because there was a mist. It was very cold over there. I had to sleep with a jacket plus a sleeping bag plus socks. We spend one night over there and we went back to SMAN 3 Bandung in the next morning.

     So, the first place that I visited with my family during the holiday was Tahura and Tebing Keraton. Both of the places are located in Dago, Bandung. It was a nice places. Although the trip to go to there was not so smooth at all, when we saw the scenery over there, it was so natural and amazing and it was worth it. We felt so happy, like all of our problems on the past semester were gone. Yeah, it was a perfect place to refresh ourself. My little sister and I tried some amazing facilities over there such as Japanesse Cave and the hammock. The Japanesse Cave was so dark and we had to turn on the flashlight from our smartphones. According to the tour-guide, it was a secret cave that was made by the Japanesse armies to hide the weapon supplies. Meanwhile the hammock was very amazing and very scary too. I still felt frightened although I already wore a safety belt. After going around, we felt tired so we went back home to get some rest and preparing ourself for the next day.

     The second place that we visited was Kampung Tulip. It is located in Pasir Pogor, Ciwastra, Bandung. Kampung Tulip was a perfect places to take a pictures because the scenery over there was very cool. It felt like we wasn't on Bandung, but in Netherlands! Yeah, there were a beautiful windmill, some Europe-styled-houses, a small lake, and some food courts. We also could rent a beautiful Netherlands costume. It was a lovely costume to take a photo with. There were some hats that we could rent too. The other thing that we also could rent was boats to go around the lake. I got many beautiful and rare photos over there. I loved the pictures and I couldn't wait to post it on the social media. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to taste the foods over there. The place was getting more crowded and it was getting hot so we decided to go home. We went back home with an amazing feeling.

     The third and the last places that we visited was Farm House. It is located in Lembang, Bandung. We came there on January 1st 2017 so it was so crowded. It was difficult to get a perfect places to take a pictures. But, I enjoyed sight-seeing around the Farm House. I saw a Hobbit house, a barn, a garden, a gate full of padlock, a wishing well, and many more. I loved the scenery over there. It was like a real farm house. I played with some cute lambs too. And I tasted some snacks over there. I tasted the milk, the croissants, and the roasted corn. It tasted so delicious. We could get the milk by exchanging our ticket to go inside. Meanwhile, we bought the croissant and the roasted corn. It was a bit expensive but it is delicious. After that, we went back home with a wonderful feeling.
     And that's my holiday story. It maybe sounds so simple, but I love it because I can spend my holiday with my family and that's enough for me. I hope the next holiday is going to be so much fun like this holiday.
     That's all about my last holiday. By the way, how is your first day of school? My first day of school was amazing though, if you ask me. I hope this semester is going to be better than the last semester to all of you guys. :)
     Bye fellas!

Maryam Mirzakhani

     Hey, Bloggers!
     Meet me again! I hope you guys don't get bored of visiting my blog... Hehe...
     This time, I am going to tell you a story about a woman. In this globalisation era, there are many well-known woman, who is not only beautiful, but also has a very clever mind. Like this woman. This woman is very unique. The world is very impressed because of her work. Who is this woman? Well, readers, let me introduce you, Maryam Mirzakhani.

     Maryam Mirzakhani was born on May 13th 1977 in Iran. She is 39 years old now and she lives in California, United States. She married with Jan Vondrak, a theoretical computer scientist, and they have a very beautiful daughter called Anahita. What's the special things about her? Well, she is a very clever woman mathematician. In an interview, she once said "The more I  spent time on maths, the more excited I got." Cool right? And do you know? She is not just a very clever mathematician.
She is the first ever woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics. Fields Medal is similar to Nobel Prize, but Fields Medal is a prize for mathematician. Only for mathematician. FYI, Fields Medal is a medal for mathematician that is succeed to solve the most difficult question or problem about math or for mathematician that is succeed to find a new theory about math. And the Fields medal is given to mathematician with 40 years maximum age. So if you are 41 years old, you can't get this medal.
     Back to Maryam Mirzakhani. So, Maryam Mirzakhani is the first woman and the first Iranian to win this medal. Isn't that great? Imagine how smart she is. She said when she was a girl, she never dream to be a mathematician, her dream was to become a writer. But who knows about future?

     She won this medal on August 13rd 2014 when she was 37 years old. She won this medal in Seoul, South Korea. There were 4 candidates at that time, and she was the only woman. And turns out, she was the one who got the medals. Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal in 2014 for "her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces". Her thesis showed how to compute the Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces. Her research interests include Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, and symplectic geometry.

     Maryam Mirzakhani is now a math lecturer and a professor of mathematics at Stanford University. She is often got some invitations to do a speech and to motivate some students. Oh she also has a motivation to the students who don't like math. She said " I can see that without being excited mathematics can look pointless and cold. The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers." So, be patient and excited, then you'll see the true beauty of math. :)
     So, that's all from me. I hope her achievement could be inspirational to all of you guys.
     Good bye! See you again at my blog!

Kabayan Never became Rich

Hello, Bloggers!

For this post I am going to tell you about my group's storytelling script. The title is Kabayan Never became Rich. Enjoy!

Kabayan Never became Rich

Widya as Kabayan
Rahma as Kavayan's wife
Haura as Goddes
Tsamarah as Narator

One day, Kabayan and his wife went to Mount Gede for praying, fasting, and meditating, so that their wish to become rich might be granted them. In the midst of their meditations, a goddes appeared to them.

Goddes               : " Kabayan,"
Wife                : "Look, Kabayan, The Goddes has appeared!!"
Kabayan          : " Wow, unbeliveable! Praise The Goddes!"

Goddes               : "Kabayan, You and Your wife have been praying and meditating for long time, now I granted you two wishes. Remember, it's only two. You better talk it over with your wife before you make them.”

Kabayan          : “Only two? But even Genie in Alladion story granted 3 wishes.”

Goddes              : “Just remember we lived in Tatar Sunda, not Persia.”

And The Goddes disappears. Kabayan and his wife had a lengthy discussion about what they should wish for.

Kabayan          : “We should wish for great amount of money!”
Wife                : “But Kabayan, we need rice for our food…”

Kabayan          : “We can buy rice if we have money, we can even buy other things like clothes, car, house, or jewelry like you want.”

Wife                : “No, rice is the most important. The others just addition.”

Kabayan          : “Please be understand honey, we suffer like this because we don’t have money.”

Wife                : “You will be more suffering if we don’t have rice, you can’t eat, and you will die!”

Kabayan          : “ Money, we must wish for money.”

Wife                : “Rice!”

Kabayan          : “ Money!”

Wife                : “Rice!”

Kabayan          : “ Money!”

Wife                : “ Rice, I said rice!”

Kabayan          : “Argh! You are so annoying! I wish The Goddes turns you into a monkey!”

Goddes              : “ Your wish has granted!”

As soon as Goddes granted Kabayan’s wish, Kabayan’s wife turns into a monkey. Kabayan was very surprised.

Kabayan          : “Oh my God! What have I done?!”
Goddes              : “ Kabayan, You have one wish left.”
Kabayan          : “What have you done with my wife?! She became a monkey.”
Goddes               : “ That’s your wish. I don’t do anything wrong. So what’s your second wish?”
Kabayan          : “Uh… What should I do? I want a lot of money, but my wife?”
Goddes               : “ You want a lot of money?”
Kabayan          : “NO! Wait a second please…Hmmm,. I want my wife back into a human”
Goddes              : “Your wish has granted.”

Kabayan’s wife turn back into a human. Kabayan was very happy. But..

Wife                : “Have you wish for rice?”
Kabayan          : “Um.. not yet…”
Wife                : “ I know you wish for a lot of money, right?”
Kabayan          : “ No.”
Wife                : “ So what you wish for?”
Kabayan          : “ I wish you turn back into human.”
Wife                : “What?! How fool you are! You are wasting your wishes!

Because of Kabayan’s reckless, they remained poor as long as they lived. The moral value of this story is be careful in making decision, think it wisely, don’t flow by emotion, control it. So that you’ll not regret your decision.

Okay that's the end of the story. So? What do you think?
Okay, this is the end of my post. See you again in my next post, okay?
Bye Bloggers!

Gili Trawangan, a small but beautiful island

     Hi Bloggers!
     This time, I want to tell you about an amazing place called Gili Trawangan. Do you know where it is? Well, today I am going to tell you about that. Keep reading! ;)
     Gili Trawangan is an island. Gili means little island in Sasak languange. Sasak is a local languange in Lombok. So, Gili Trawangan is a little island that is located at the northwest side of Lombok island. It is an island with 3 km long and 2 km wide. It's population is about 1500 people.

Sumber : Wikipedia

     Actually, there are three Gilis at the northwest side of Lombok island. They are Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. But Gili Trawangan is the biggest island of Lombok's Gilis.
     If you want to go to Gili Trawangan, you can go there with a boat. You can choose, if you want to go with a wood boat or with a speed boat. There are 3 ways to go there. One, you can go with a boat from Bangsal. Two, you can go with a boat from Nare Bay. Three, you can go with a boat from Senggigi Beach. Well, you can choose whatever you want. It's up to you.
     When you arrived there, you will see a beautiful beach. It is so nature and amazing. The sand is very clean and the sea is very clear. There are some people who play banana boat, diving, snorkeling, play with some sands, or just enjoying the panorama. The best time to watch the panorama in the beach is when the sun set or when the sun rise. Trust me, it is so beautiful. It is a beautiful moment and if we capture the moment we will get a very beautiful picture.

Sumber : Wikipedia

     There are so many activities we can do in there. And, it isn't just a beach activities. You can also rent a bicycle and explore the island with it. Or if you are tired to ride it, you can also rent a cidomo to explore. Cidomo is a traditional cart from Lombok. It is a cart with 2 car's wheels and a horse in front of it. It is similiar with delman. You must remember that Gili Trawangan is a local island, and the local people in there, don't use some motor vehicle. So, there are no polution in there.
     If you want to spend the night in Gili Trawangan, there are some hotels in there. You can choose any hotel that you want. I suggest, it will be best if you choose a hotel that is near to the beach, so you can see the beach's panorama everytime you want from your room's window.
     Well, I think that enough for this time. I hope this information can help you if you are visiting the Lombok island. You can ask more question about Lombok island to me. I am from Lombok, remember? ;)
     Bye Bloggers!
     See you in my next post!
