Setelah yang terjadi dalam pekan ini, saatnya saya membagi secuil ilmu. Hanya me-review sedikit dan memprediksi (bukan meramalkan) prediksi-prediksi yang akan terjadi. Sebelumnya, saya secara pribadi mengucapkan turut berduka cita kepada para korban gempa
Semoga keluarga yang ditinggalkan tetap tabah dan korban yang masih selamat dapat segera melanjutkan hidup dengan normal dan bahagia
*amin..
Okay, now let’s see this picture…Ini adalah peta Indonesia yang saya overlay dengan peta gempa real-time milik USGS melalui Google Earth
Screenshot diambil pada hari ini (2 Oktober 2009) kurang lebih beberapa pukul 22 lewat 53 menit.
Okay, seperti yang dapat kita lihat..Dalam kurun beberapa minggu saja ternyata Indonesia sudah digonjang-ganjing oleh gempa bumi. Umm, kalian lihat garis batas yang berwarna itu? Yup! Itu adalah batas dari lempeng tektonik yaitu lempeng Eurasia yang bergerak secara konvergen (bertumbukan) kurang lebih 70 mm setiap tahunnya.
Setahu saya, gempa yang dirasakan di Padang itu cukup besar yaitu hingga 7.6 SR dan terjadi di dasar laut (kurang lebih 30 km) tetapi kenapa tidak terjadi Tsunami? Mungkin itulah yang menjadi pertanyaan yang ditanyakan oleh banyak orang. Gempa bumi (tektonik) biasanya terjadi di zona subduksi yaitu zona dimana bagian lempeng lautan (oceanic crust) menujam ke bagian lempeng benua (continental crust). Simpelnya silahkan lihat gambar berikut

Guys, gak kerasa bulan puasa akan berakhir! Yay! It’s time for mudik, time for silaturahmi!
Di tengah menjamurnya teknologi web 2.0 dimana usernya bisa ikut berinteraksi mengembangkan web tersebut, kini web 2.0 juga sedang gencar-gencarnya digunakan sebagai media silaturahmi yang paling ampuh setelah text messaging (SMS). Yup, kamu bisa mendesign kartu ucapan sendiri, trus upload lewat social network seperti Facebook dan tinggal kamu tag nama-nama teman-teman kamu dalam Facebook sehingga semuanya pun bisa melihat kartu ucapan kamu. It’s easy! Kalo males ngedesign tinggal search aja di internet. Banyak juga penyedia gambar-gambar kartu ucapan menarik, tinggal pilih designnya trus tinggal upload.
Lebih mudah lagi adalah lewat e-mail jika fungsi tag pada Facebook ternyata kena limit (saking kebanyakan temaen). Tinggal forward aja ke temen-temen kamu! Mudah bukan? Kalau di forum SPMB-Lover.Com sih, ajang silaturahmi dilakukan dengan membuat thread Kartu Ucapan Lebaran, di sini para member memposting kartu ucapan buatan mereka. Yup, semua itu berkat Web 2.0! Bersilaturahmi semakin mudah~
Oh iya, fenomena ini sudah berlangsung sejak beberapa hari yang lalu dimana para perusahaan-perusahaan mengirimkan kartu lebaran digital kepada e-mail anak buahnya. Detik.Com menyebut ini sebagai fenomena Silaturahmi 2.0
Jadi, nggak ada kata kesulitan lagi untuk bersilaturahmi!! Ayo! Jangan tunggu sampai lebaran!!
There are only two seasons in Indonesia. Summer between March and August, and rain season between September and February. Actually Indonesia doesn’t have any seasonal dish. But, it has seasonal fruit such as rambutan, durian, salak, etc. And it also has some celebration dish, like during Lebaran’s Day (Idul Fitri) usually, people makes ketupat, rendang, or braised chicken with coconut milk (opor ayam).
Actually, ketupat is not different wth dumpling. Only the shape is kind a simetric square and it’s made from rice which the rice has been wrapped inside palm leaf and we boiled it. Usually, we served it with other dish such as rendang or opor ayam. Rendang is one of the favorite dish in Indonesia. Because it’s spicy and there are many kind of rendang. Rendang can be made from beef, sometimes chicken, lamb, etc. You can find some rendang recipe here : http://renynov.blogspot.com/search/label/Beef
And the last one is braised chicken with coconut milk (not coconut oil, sorry, my mistakes). Like chicken soup or chicken curry, the different is the coconut milk and usually we put some sort of vegetables like carrot, potatoes, and etc. You can find the recipe here : http://www.melroseflowers.com/mkic/indo_recipes/poultry/braised_chicken_in_coconut_milk.html
In Indonesia, there is also another dish we like used to some kind of celebration. Such as birth child celebration. There is a kind of tradition when we gathered people around us and we pray together hoping this child will have a better future. And we used to make Tumpeng. It’s kind a gorup of dishes. There are some fried chicken, spicy boiled egg, gado-gado, soy chips, vegetables, etc. The cone shape is kind of unique and it’s made from rice. Usually, we used Uduk Rice (Rice with coconut milk) or Nasi Kuning (Yellow Rice/rice with turmeric).
As a student, maybe you will ask to ourselves the purpose why we learn and study at school. Is it because of government’s regulation? Is it because our parents? Or, is it because we want a good job so that we can get a good life? No matter what purpose, we do know that education is the most important things. However, education quality in Indonesia is very poor because of its system, fees, and human resources.
The education system in Indonesia is very poor because it doesn’t make the students improving their knowledge. It only makes the student under pressure. Too much homework, too much study hour at school, and also boring class situation. The government should change the curricula. Multicultural based education must included on curricula so that students can learn about culture diversity. Therefore, students can give their respect to other culture.
In addition, the education fees in Indonesia also become one of the main problem why education in Indonesia is very poor. There are a lot of people said that high education is only for rich people. Therefore, many students dropped out from school because they can’t pay the tuition fees.
The human resources also become one of the main factor why the education system in Indonesia is very poor. The lack of quality teacher is the main problem. This problem can happen because the government not paying attention for teacher’s prosperity, therefore many people not interested to become a qualified teacher. Because of that, the government should increase teacher’s prosperity to make people interested to become a qualified teacher.
Although education quality in Indonesia is very poor, student who still learn and study at school must try to improve their knowledge. After all, the government should take care this problem to make education in Indonesia better than ever.
