Warga Gendoh Pesta Telur

Warga Gendoh, jangan ditanya erat tidaknya hubungan sosial diantara masyarakat desa yang makmur ini. Bisa dikatakan satu warga jatuh, yang lain pun turut jatuh, satu warga gembira, seluruh warga Gendoh pun bersenang hati. Seperti yang terjadi pada momentum Maulid Nabi muhammad SAW, kemarin pada tanggal 5 Februari 2011. Pada pukul 05.00, masjid satu-satunya yang dimiliki desa Gendoh sudah dipenuhi warga yang menyerahkan jaminan berkat sebagai adat/tradisi warga turum menurun. Para sesepuh dan panitia pun segera mengalunkan ayat-ayat Al-qur'an sebagai pembuka acara maulid nabi. Tidak hanya mereka, aku pun sebagai warga gendoh turut berpartisipasi mengirimkan berkat, tepatnya berjumlah 7 buah berkat, tidak sedikit apabila dibandingkan dengan kiriman berkat warga lainnya. Kemudian, pada pukul 06.00, banyak sekali warga di lain daerah yang berdatangan bak banjir manusia. Mereka membawa telur yang bisa diperkirakan sejumlah satu keranjang. Pihak panitia masjid sendiri menyediakan 6 batang pisang dengan tancapan telur yang menutupinya. Kejadian ini berlangsung hingga 3 jam kemudian. Hingga pada pukul 11.00 panitia mengirimkan 1 becak berisi telur dan berkat kepada warga sekitar yang kekurangan. Telur dan berkat tersebut memang telah dipersiapkan sebelumnya. Betapa makmur kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia, bila rakyatnya saling tolong menolong seperti apa yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Gendoh ini. Tetap lah makmur desaku, tetaplah tangguh memakul beban pada pundak yang sama...

SLEEPING PODS

Have you ever felt sleepy during the day but there is no place that you can go and sleep? How many hours do you sleep each night? less than eight hours? Studying for an exam, doing homework, having difficult problems and stress are reasons why people don't have enough sleep. Many health experts suggest that we should have at least 8 hours sleep each night. lack of sleep often results in poor concentration, injury, errors (putting wrong data into files for example), stress and axiety. in some countries, companies allow what is called a 'power/ energy nap' . Staff are allowed to have a very short nap (15 to 30 minutes) to gain energy to continue work.Often there's a special room provided for this. MetroNaps, a US-based company, recently produced sleep pods, a sleeping machine which is specially designed for busy people who don't have enough time to sleep during the night or who get tired during a busy work day. This futuristic. two-meter longs sleeping pod is equipped with a reclining seat, soothing music piped into headpones and a blanket. Sleeping pods can be seen in busy shpopping malls or businesses. Soon sleeping pods might become as common as photocopy machines!
Well, don't worry if you don't have a sophisticated snooze pod. If you are feeling tired or sleepy during the day, a twenty minute snooze will help you to boost your energy and can improve your performance. Just RELAX and SNOOZE!!! 

Padi Melimpah, Petani Gendoh Bungah

Gendoh Village

Gambar di samping ini merupakan contoh satu petak dari sekian luasnya hamparan padi di Desa Gendoh. Betapa kaya dan indanya desa Gendoh dengan hasil panen padinya, yang dipastikan melimpah. Gendoh, desa yang berada di tepi kota ini, sebagian penduduknya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani. Bisa dikatakan Gendoh merupakan kawasan agraris. Padi mudanya yang ijo royo-royo, bebas hama, dan tanahnya yang subur, serta airnya yang menggenang. Jarang sekali atau bahkan tidak pernah sawah ini mengalami kering kerontang. Ketika saya berada di tengah-tengah hamparan padi tersebut, bak berada di alam yang bebas. Angin yang membelai lembut, alam sekitar yang jangan ditanya keindahannya, bukit-bukit yang menjulang tinggi, serta pohon kelapa yang melambai-lambai. Sungguh pemandangan desa gendoh yang menakjubkan. Apabila masa panen tiba, banyak sekali petani yang datang dan bergotong royong memanen padi yang sangat melimpah ini. Bahkan, seusai panen pun, banyak warga sekitar yang datang untuk mengambil sisa bulir padi yang matang. Warga Gendoh sering menyebutnya "ngasah". Desaku memang indah dengan kekayaan alam di dalamnya.

Coffee Shops and Hot Spots

Having a daily cup of tea or coffee in a modern day coffee shop has become more and more popular in Indonesia. In fact, we can say the modern coffee culture is mushrooming. Coffee shops are not only for having a 'cuppa' but are also places to meet friends and socialize. 

Coffee shops are usually cozy, relaxing places for people to sit down, have a chat or read. Comfortable chairs and sofas, soft lighting, magazines and even internet access are the characteristics of a modern day coffee shop. 

Back in the 15th century in the middle East, a coffee shop was a place were men got together, had coffee and socialized while listening to music, watching dramas or playing chess. Coffee shops also became popular meeting places in 17th century Europe. In the past in Indonesia, coffee shops attracted just men, but today with their more modern design and comfortable atmosphere more and more women are using them as a safe place to meet friends. Many coffee shops in Indonesia now provide a Hot Spot or Wi-Fi facilities that allow customers to access the internet using their mobile phone or laptop.

Mall Rats

Mall Rat city

     In towns and cities across Indonesia people go  out  with their families,   meet their friends or just cuci mata- enjoy a change of scenery. This maybe done after school or work and or at the weekends. As you know, the weather get into hot in Indonesia and being outside, especially in the cities with the pollution and traffic, isn't always pleasant? so, where do people like to go? Many people go to air - conditioned malls of course! Malls are being built in cities and towns across Indonesia ( and most of the cities across Asia). There are about 40 large malls in inner Jakarta alone including some of the largest in Asia. Some are smaller and have a more affordable range of goods. Compared to Indonesia the malls in Australia are not so luxurious not are they as big.

            There is a new generation of children called "mall kids" or "mall rats" as they are known in Australia. They like to visit the malls after weekend and hang out with their friends. They might not buy anything but use the mall as a meeting place. Each weekend they visit a different mall. Are you a mall rat? Don't be upset by the word "rat", okay? :))

What A Beautiful Holiday !

In Grajagan Beach

It was the story of my holiday in Grajagan Beach. As you look at this image. It looks noisy, right? it is on holiday, off course it looks quite, ow.. i mean it looks noisy, it's the antonym, right? I went there with my big family, my mother, father, cousins, and grandma by car. It was very interesting I ever felt. It was my first time to visit this beautiful beach. There is a big stone, and traditional performance, like Jaranan in Java. The wave was really fantastic. There, I ate together, played wave with my cousins, looked for "cepalophoda", and other funny activities. What a Beautiful Holiday of me!!! :))
