Starting Kempo Again

After more then 15 years, finally I started to practice Kempo again. I've advanced to Kyu-III last time I practiced, but it was 15 years ago.... So now, I started all over again :D

Just got my Dogi (kempo outfit) for a really cheap price.

Well let see if I could get into a competition this time round, coz it would be great to have some achievement other than office jobs.

Light traffic

Today traffic is more acceptable, got to the office earlier than usual... I hope it also like this tomorrow.

I'm planning to look for the nearest HP service center today, to fix one of my user's notebook that have damaged the monitor.

The haves and the have not

Another sunday....

Woke up at 10.30 am, too lazy to take a bath, water is freezing.

Packed up my gear, went to my parents house, my mom want me to drive her to her spiritual teacher, to take a sewing machine so it could be a good use instead of left rusted under the stairs.

On the way I passed a grey Ferrari on the street and not long after that I catched another red ferrari, and its not uncommon to find a hummer. It struck me, that Indonesia is not a poor country after all, at least some of the Indonesian doesn't....

But not far from where I saw the ferrari, at the traffic light, I saw the usual sight of the less fortunate people that have to struggle just to keep the basic needs of everyday life.

This is a typical portrait of life in Jakarta, the riches get richer while the poor still have to rely on the more fortunates.

Yamaha Byson Rp19,9 Juta

Hanya berselang satu hari setelah uji coba di Sirkuit Gokart Sentul, Jawa Barat, akhirnya Yamaha resmi meluncurkan Byson. Produk terbaru di segmen sport 150cc ini dibandrol Rp19,9 juta on the road Jakarta.

Byson dibekali mesin 153 cc 4 tak SOHC air cooled yang mampu menghasilkan tenaga hingga 10,1 PS pada 7.500 rpm dengan torsi 10,5 Nm di 5.500 rpm.

Sepeda motor jenis sport ini mempunyai dimensi 2.075 mm x 780 mm x 1.045 mm. Sistem suspensinya dibekali model Teleskopik 0,41 mm di depan dan Monocross di belakang yang mengapit ban tubeless ukuran 100/80-17M dan 120/70-17M.

Dyonisius Beti, Presiden Direktur YMKI mengatakan bandrol yang ditawarkan merupakan harga promosi. "Kami akan pertahankan harga setidaknya sampai akhir tahun," ujar Dyon di sela peluncuran Byson di Rolling Stone Cafe, Jakarta Selatan, hari ini.

Untuk tahap awal, Byson akan ditargetkan terjual 3.000-5.000 unit per bulan dan diposisikan sebagai penopang volume maker model sport Yamaha Vixion.

"Itu target awal, tapi akan kami sesuaikan dari permintaan yang masuk," jelas Dyon.

Produksi massal akan dilakukan pasca Lebaran yang jatuh di September 2010. Nah, berarti kalau minat motor ini beli sekarang sebelum tahun depan naik harga.

Byson akan bersaing ketat dengan komeptitor Honda New Mega Pro yang juga belum lama diluncurkan ke pasar.

Raja Ampat

Just browsing trough the web, stumbled on this site diverajaampat.org, heard for this place some times ago, they said it was a beautiful paradise, hope to visit this paradise in the future:

Raja Ampat casts a spell on all who visit – scientists, photographers, novice divers and crusty sea-salts alike. This group of majestic islands, located in the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s Papuan “Bird’s Head Seascape,” lies in the heart of the coral triangle, the most bio-diverse marine region on earth.

As stunningly beautiful above water as it is below, Raja Ampat (which literally translates as “The Four Kings”) has a startling diversity of habitats to explore. Each of these – from the stark wave-pounded slopes that drop away beneath the karst cliffs of Wayag and Uranie to the deep, nutrient-rich bays of Mayalibit, Kabui and Aljui to the “blue water mangrove” channels of Kofiau and Gam to the plankton-rich upwelling areas of Misool and the Dampier Strait – are home to unique assemblages of species that, when taken together, add to produce the most impressive species lists ever compiled for a coral reef system of this size. Marine tourism, as a sustainable alternative to overfishing, mining, and logging, has the potential to play a key role in the conservation of Raja Ampat’s spectacular underwater realm, while also creating real benefits for the local communities. This website was designed as part of a larger effort to support the growth of sustainable marine tourism in Raja Ampat and the conservation of these magical islands. Please explore this site to find information on breathtaking diving opportunities, travel logistics, Raja Ampat’s new tourism entrance fee (which directly supports conservation and community development), and the tremendous conservation effort taking place in Raja Ampat.

Lost 5 Ep 15

Just finished watching Lost season 5 Ep 15. This series is interesting to follow - I didn't follow it from the beginning episodes though - it has great story line :)

Here's the story, copied it from wikipedia:

"Follow the Leader" is the 15th television episode of the fifth season of ABC's Lost.^[1] The 101st episode of the show overall, "Follow the Leader" aired on May 6, 2009 on ABC in the United States. The episode was written by supervising producer Paul Zbyszewski and co-executive producer Elizabeth Sarnoff and directed by Stephen Williams.^[1] This episode marks the lowest recorded audience for Lost.
In 1977, Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) dispute over whether to initiate the plan of the recently-deceased Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies). James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) and Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell) are interrogated by the DHARMA Initiative. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia), Miles Straume (Ken Leung) and Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) finally reveal the truth to Pierre Chang (François Chau). In 2007, John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) solidifies his leadership with the Others, but Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson) and Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) start to be suspicious of Locke.

Plot

In 1977, following the events of the previous episode "The Variable", Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) witness Eloise Hawking (Alice Evans) kill her son Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) in the Others' camp. As Jack and Kate debate whether they should follow through with Faraday's plan to detonate a hydrogen bomb in order to change future events, they are attacked and captured by Charles Widmore (David S. Lee). Eloise believes their claim of being from the future and decides to take Jack's advice to detonate the bomb. They travel with Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) to a pond, which has an underwater entry to a series of tunnels in which the bomb is stored. The tunnels lie beneath the site of the Dharma Initiative's barracks. Kate does not want to take part in Jack's plan and leaves; however, an Other refuses to let her go, prompting an unseen Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) to shoot the Other. Sayid agrees to Jack's plan, but Kate still does not and compares Jack to John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), whom Jack once regarded as crazy. She leaves for the barracks and the others enter the tunnels.
At the Dharma Initiative barracks, James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) and Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell) are being held captive by Horace Goodspeed (Doug Hutchison), Stuart Radzinsky (Eric Lange), and Phil (Patrick Fischler). Sawyer does not answer any of Radzinsky's questions, even after he is severely beaten and witnesses Phil strike Juliet. Meanwhile, Dr. Pierre Chang (François Chau) confronts Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia), Miles Straume (Ken Leung), and Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) as they ready their escape to the beach. He wants to know if Faraday was correct. Chang asks Hurley time-specific questions which he fails to answer correctly; Hurley then concedes they are indeed from the future. Miles confirms that he is Chang's son, and supports Faraday's request for the island to be evacuated. Chang informs Horace and Radzinsky of this, and Sawyer makes a deal to leave the island on the submarine in exchange for telling them what they want to hear. Sawyer and Juliet, followed by Kate, are placed aboard the submarine in handcuffs. The sub departs.
In 2007, following the events of the episode "Dead is Dead", Locke meets with Richard at the Others' camp and tells him that he now has a purpose. Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim) confronts Richard about the fate of her husband and the other survivors stranded in the past; Richard grimly informs her that he watched them all die. Locke, Richard, and Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) travel to the location that the time-jumping Locke will appear, so that Richard can remove the bullet from his leg and tell him what needs to be done (as seen in "Because You Left"). They return to camp, where Locke speaks to the Others and tells them that they are going on a trip to see Jacob, from whom they take orders but have never met. Locke tells Sun that Jacob will know how to save their friends; however, he later admits to Ben that his plan is not to ask Jacob for help, but to kill him.

Hati-hati Kontaminasi Bakteri Pada Telur

Telur merupakan salah satu sumber pangan dengan kandungan protein dan nutrisi esensial yang dibutuhkan manusia. Namun, di balik penampilan kulit yang tampak mulus, telur ternyata mudah rusak akibat bakteri, antara lain oleh bakteri salmonela.

Baru-baru ini ribuan orang di Amerika Serikat dilaporkan terjangkit penyakit akibat wabah salmonela setelah mengonsumsi telur. Salmonela sendiri bisa menyebabkan diare, kram perut, dan demam dalam jangka waktu 8-72 jam pasca-mengonsumsi telur yang tercemar bakteri.

Kontaminasi salmonela dalam telur bisa terjadi lewat berbagai cara. Salah satunya adalah kontaminasi tinja yang mengandung bakteri pada kulit telur. Bakteri salmonela terdapat dalam saluran pencernaan serta tinja hewan dan manusia yang terinfeksi bakteri. Bakteri ini bisa berpindah ketika ayam menduduki tinja tersebut.

Sebenarnya sudah ada standar pemeriksaan kulit telur di peternakan untuk mencegah agar telur yang terkontaminasi bakteri tidak masuk ke pasaran. Namun, salmonela bisa tersembunyi di dalam ovarium ayam betina yang sehat sehingga bisa menularkan bakteri, bahkan sebelum ayam bertelur.

Menurut Rob Gravani, ahli ilmu pangan dari Cornell University, bakteri salmonela bisa mencemari semua jenis ayam. Oleh karena itu, tidak ada jaminan bahwa telur yang dijual dengan label "organik" atau "natural" mengandung lebih sedikit bakteri.

Salah satu cara untuk mencegah penularan salmonela adalah tidak mengonsumsi telur yang masih setengah matang atau mentah karena proses pemasakan bisa membunuh bakteri. Suhu pemasakan yang disarankan minimal 71 derajat celsius. Hal ini penting, mengingat agak sulit untuk menilai dari luar apakah telur yang kita beli bebas bakteri atau tidak.
