Setanpun Takut

Aku barusan dapat cerita, ceritanya begini...

Pemimpin Setan Se Indonesia ... ( tau kan yang namanya Setan ) datang menghadap Tuhan...
“Tuhan... Hamba mohon untuk mengundurkan diri dari tugas hamba di Indonesia “ katanya di hadapan Tuhan.
Tuhan beserta Malaikat yang kebetulan ada disamping Tuhan terkejut dan heran, “ kok bisa bisanya Setan begini... ada apa nih “ pikir malaikat.
“ Ada apa Setan.. kan pekerjaan ini kamu yang meminta trus kenapa sekarang kamu mau mengundurkan diri ? “ tanya Tuhan kepada Setan.
Si Setan menundukan wajah, jelas keliatan ada bertentangan...
“ Tuhan... “ hela nafas Setan berat banget.
“ Hamba malu... hamba kalah “ terus Setan pelan...sambil melirik malaikat disamping Tuhan.
Malaikat mengerinyitkan keningnya tanda heran...
Tuhan Sang Maha Arif dan Bijaksana tau kalo Setan malu bicara didekat malaikat, Tuhan meminta Malaikat untuk pergi.
“ Katakan ada apa setan “ tanya Tuhan setelah Malaikat mohon diri untuk pergi.
“ Begini Yang Mulia Tuhan Semesta Alam “Setan mulai menjelaskan.
“ Hamba dan pengikut Hamba tidak betah lagi bekerja di Indonesia “ lanjutnya.
“ Kenapa ? “ buru Tuhan.
“ Di Indonesia, Hamba beserta pengikut hamba tidak memiliki lagi pekerjaan “ terang Setan.
“ Memangnya ada apa ? “ selidiki Tuhan.
“ Orang orang Indonesia hebat hebat... seakan akan mereka memiliki motto belum sempet hamba berfikirkannya mereka sudah melakukan “ ( nah lo... hebat kan... Setan aja belum sempet mikir, orang Indonesia sudah melakukannya ).
“ Jadi nggak ada lagi yang bisa kami goda.. karena mereka sudah melakukannya lebih dulu.. sudah pada pinter pinter “ Setan bicara mulai agak menghiba hiba.
Tuhan menganguk angguk...
“ Dan lagi... kami merasa takut dan kuatir...” wajah Setan semakin dalam menunduk...
“ Hah.. takut...?? “ Tuhan heran lagi...masak seeh Setan sampe bisa takut...
“ Iya...” jawab setan pelan...
“ Kami takut nantinya malah kami yang tergoda oleh mereka...!!! “

Another option to get a budget tour is by hire a car and arrange with the driver to visit places in Minangkabau tour and Lake Maninjau.

Buy

Bukittinggi's council have been depeloping a shopping mall next to Jam Gadang from January 2006. But there are 2 markets named Pasar Atas (Upper Market) and Pasar Bawah (Below Market). Pasar Bawah is for fruit and vegetables trade whereas Pasar Atas is for souvenirs and clothes trade. Most of the prices in each kiosk is similar and you can bargain up to 50%. One wholesale shop located in the middle of Pasar Atas, sell souvenirs with the lowest price. One pair of women slippers is about Rp 7,000 and one key holder is about Rp 2,000 - Rp 5,000. Most of the souvenirs sold here have low quality. Souvenirs for a better quality can be found in Pandai Sikek. One men shirt is about Rp 35,000 and a pair of leather woman slippers is about Rp 35,000.

Poeple in Bukittinggi like dry, spicy and sweet snack foods very much. They make snacks with different taste, shape from one ingredients that make the foods here are special. For example, from cassava they can make spicy long shape cassava chips, tasty cubes cassava chips, and sweet round shape cassava chips. And still much more like shreded dry eelfish, spicy potato chips, sweet potate chips, etc. They're can be found in Pasar Atas with low price but they're not fresh. On the way back to Padang, there're many food shops that sell these snack foods with a better quality.

Eat

There's small fish named Ikan Belibis in Lake Singkarak that we can't find elsewhere. Locals cook it in deep fry or in a sour soup together with vegetable. One portion of fried Belibis is about Rp 5,000, you can eat all the fish with its head and bones. Most of the restaurants available in Bukittinggi serve Padang cuisine which is creamy, spicy and hot. Average price is about Rp 15,000 per person for one meal. All the foods are stayed overnight and heaten up, so it's not recommended for those who like fresh food. After dark, there're many hawkers near Jam Gadang that sell fresh food such as nasi goreng(fried rice), boiled noddle, and beef pancake. One portion is about Rp 7,500 - Rp 10,000 pp.

Bring anti diarhea medicine is highly recommended in case you get diarhea during your food adventure.

The top hotels in the city are the Novotel and Pusako Hotel. Small budget hotels are easy to find Many locals offer accomodation in their which are like family owned hotels that provide "feel at home" atmosphere. The prices span from Rp 80,000 - Rp 200,000/one room without air conditioner. Breakfast is included. There are no lifts in these small hotels so just be prepared if your room is on the third floor. Room cleaning isn't provided everyday, so don't hesitate to ask the hotel manager if you want a daily cleaning service. There is a backpacker hostel near Fort de Kock which provides rooms from Rp 40,000 to Rp 80,000 without hot water. This is a very cheap offer because the rooms equiped with hard mattress only

Yang Miskin Siapa ?

Kalo di bilang bahwa Indonesia adalah negara miskin, aku yakin nggak ada yang akan protes. Bahkan dunia pun mengakui. Tapi...
Kalo di bilang orang orang Indonesia adalah orang miskin... aku bisa bilang nggak. Lihat aja, disaat katanya moneter atau BBM naik yang menimbulkan demo disana sini tapi yang beli mobil tetap banyak, yang beli sepeda motor juga selalu ada, yang beli barang barang mewah juga nggak berkurang, yang keluar negeri juga sering. Yang ngeluarin duit jutaan  bahkan ratusan juga banyak.
Lihat aja berapa pertumbuhan mobil di Indonesia, coba bandingkan dengan negara negara berkembang lainnya. Atau lihat disekeliling kita, berapa yang make HP canggih... aku yakin banyak kali, bahkan anak esde yang baru bisa baca aja sekarang dah di lengkapi ama hp. Bahkan lagi.. tukang ojek, tukang becak aja sekarang dah pake HP.
Kalo aku salah menilai... dan seharusnya kita benarkan kalo ada yang bilang orang Indonesia juga orang miskin sesuai dengan keadaan ekonomi negara
Trus.. Yang pantasnya di bilang untuk orang orang Indonesia apa...??
Mungkin kah dibilang orang yang nggak tau di untung...???
Sudah hidup susah mo bergaya pula...?
Atau miskin..
.miskin cara berfikir...???
Sorryy... kalo aku salah. Sekali lagi maap, mungkin aja aku lagi iri karena nggak punya...

No War, No Drug and Stop Corruption For Child and Health

Hari ini banyak Banner di side blog aku. Memang jadinya agak rame, mungkin juga sebagian ngerasa kurang bagus jadi tampilan blog ini. Tapi maaf aja... aku suka, bukan karena tampilannya, bukan juga sok gaya gayaan.

Kalo soal tampilan emang aku akui jadi rame. Namun yang aku suka adalah maknanya. Sengaja tempelin Banner milik Badan Badan Dunia ini, mulai dari UNICEF, UNODC, UNAID sampai Banner milik Kelompok Pencinta Alama Dunia Greenpeace. Karena terus terang, aku ingin ikut peduli dengan apa yang mereka kerjakan... apa yang mereka suarakan.

Tapi kayaknya aku nggak bisa secara langsung untuk ikut berpartisipasi, sampai tadi kepikir setelah aku buka buka beberapa blog dan sites. Munculah ide ini.. kenapa nggak aku coba juga tempelin di Blog aku ? setidaknya aku bisa memberi dukungan lewat blog ini walau itu hanya sebuah banner dan link, tapi ada juga harapan aku kalo ada yang coba masuk ke blog aku, mereka juga tertarik untuk mengklik banner banner tersebut dan tergugah dengan apa yang mereka kerjakan... dan lagi siapa tau juga ada yang mo membantu mereka secara materil atau tenaga...

PEACE...!!!!

Baik = Baik

Seorang bijak berujar. ”Bila busur anda patah dan anak panah penghabisan telah dilontarkan, tetaplah membidik. Bidiklah dengan seluruh hatimu.” Semua tindakan anda bagaikan bumerang yang akan kembali pada anda. Bila anda melempar dengan baik, ia akan kembali dalam tangkapan anda. Namun, bila anda ceroboh melemparkannya, ia akan datang untuk melukai anda. Renungkan bagaimana tindakan anda sekarang ini. Lakukan segala semuanya dengan tulus dan penuh kasih sayang. Tiada yang lebih manis daripada memetik buah atas kebaikan yang anda lakukan.
