Hari ini cukup melelahkan buat saya.. setelah tidur pada pukul 2.30 pagi, saya harus kembali terjaga 5 jam berikutnya.. ckck.. rencana hari ini ada pergi ke kampus tercinta di depok.. (Ngapain lagi? Begitu kata2 bbrp org tmn saya).. Tujuan ke kampus adalah menunaikan permintaan teman untuk melegalisir ijsahnya selain itu untuk memperoleh hardcover dari skripsi yang saya yg telah lama selesai tapi akibat ada kesalahan kecil (bukan salah gw yee..) mengakibatkan saya tidak kebagian 1 buah pun bentuk jadi dari hasil akhir dari perkuliahn selama 4 tahun (selain ijasah tentunya).. ya sudahlah dateng aja,matt.. mumpung masih ada waktu.. :D
Setelah selesai bersiap2, saya pun berangkat menuju depok.. menaikki salah satu bus kesayangan saya, P54 Grogol-Depok, berangkat 9.45 sampai dalam waktu krg lebih 1 jam 15 menit.. selama perjalanan jd inget masa-sama kuliah "kemaren" (blm saya blg "dulu" ntar kesannya udh jadul bgt gw kuliahnya..:D) Bayar ongkos pake uang 5rb dikembaliin 2rb. Dalam hati saya eh udh naik ya ongkosnya? tapi ya sudah lah..
Sampai di Kampus, saya langsung bergerak menuju loket legalisir ijasah.. dan seperti yg ditakutkan, loketnya.. pindah? engga bukan tetep di situ.. tapi TUTUP.. T.T kemudian dengan kecewa gw meninggalkan tempat itu lalu nge-bell bapak dosen dan dia ada di ruangan.. chit chat sebentar dgn dia dan dpt 1 ttd.. tp berhubung ada 1 ibu dosen yg hrs ttd ya saya tunggu deh.. agak sungkan untuk nge-bell dia, maklum jabatannya agak tinggi.. ya sms saja deh.. tunggu dgn sabar.. sembari menunggu kbr, gw jd inget sama satu temen gw yg masih kuliah, langsung deh gw hubungin.. ternyata dia lg otw.. ok deh bagus ada temen deh..
Temen gw dtng.. Ketemu.. ngobrol.. berhubung udh lama ga ada kbr, gw beraniin jg buat telpon ibu dosen ini (temen gw jg bilang telpon aja kaleeee.. :hammer:)Ditelpon dan langsung disuruh ke ruangannya.. Haizz tau gt drtd dah.. Horee lengkap sudah ttd yg dibutuhkan.. Sekarang tinggal meng-hardcover-kan skripsi tersebut dan (oiya) minta ttd terakhir setelah jd.. Ditemani tmn gw dan pacarnya cabut menuju fotocopy 24 jam.. sampai disana langsung minta sama penjaganya (berhubung td udh tanya2 disini dulu pas nunggu tmn gw) jd td tanya harga hardcover+pake siku = 20rb (ga mahal2 amat), sayang logo timbul yg gw pgn lg ga ada.. Yaaaahh.. bikin bon/nota (whatever) trus kasi ke tmn gw.. nanti dia yg ambil dan urus sisanya.. gw jg minta dia urus legalisir ijasah yg td loketnya tutup.. asssiiiikk kelar semua.. to be continue

Transjakarta or busway began its operations on 15th January 2004 (opening of the first corridor). On 15th January 2006, new corridors 2 and 3 are opened. On 27th January 2007 from 4 to 7 corridor opened. In March 2008, from 8 to 10 corridor planned to operate but were delayed. February 21, 2009 at 8 corridor finally opens. While 9 and 10 corridors are still experiencing delays. However, planned to be opened in November 2010.

In its old age that has reached six years, there are several problems. There are three major problems, which is still a number of corridors in the absence of the fleet, busway lane sterillization and lack of supporting facilities.


The first problem is a problem that is very vital.
Because this is a function of Transjakarta itself. Lack of fleet make not all the passanger could be taken correctly. Obviously the addition of the fleet should be done. But other problems that make circulation of bus arrival must be resolved as well.

The second problem regarding sterilization route. Many drivers are still entering the path of Transjakarta. Though this is very dangerous. because Transjakarta operate at high speeds. If there is a traffic jam or congestion, Transjakarta path is sacrificed. It is ironic if you see this situation. Whereas Transjakarta built on separate tracks to avoid congestion. So which path should be made to Transjakarta only enabled for Transjakarta only.


The third problem related to refueling must be done adding a new SPBBG.
Distances from each corridor to make sure the fuel fill a huge waste of time. To avoid the time wasted each corridor is expected to have SPBBG own.


Plan for the year 2010 there will be an additional four new SPBBG, operation plans Corridor 9 (Pinang Ranti-Pluit) and Corridor 10 (Tanjung Priok-Cililitan) with additional busway fleet of as many as 139 units of the fleet, which consists of 114 single bus fleet units and 25 units articulated bus fleet and service implementation in the form of SPM Transjakarta (Minimum Service Standards).

Dear Mr. Surya,

Me and my friends had visited your restaurant on 15th December to celebrate my friend birthday. Unfortunately, there is an awfull thing happen.

When my friend eat his food, he found there is a weird object in his plate. Then he ask us, me and my other friend think is just another weird look like vegetables. But when we cek it out again. We found it was an insect. This is really this gusting. How can a fine restaurant like yours do something like that? It could make a bad impression for your restaurant.

You must fix your standard from the clean of the kitchen until the food is served and also the standard of your employee.

I just hope this never happen again and in future the quality of your food is able to match up to the quality of your service.


Best Wishes,


Matt Christian

Dear Mr. Hill,

I am Matt Christian and I have an account with your bank holding the account number 5500180490. I had recently applied for an account detail book and had given a written application for the same. I had applied for the same on the 28th Feb 2006. I was informed that I would be issued a new account detail book at the earliest latest by the 10th of March.

Even after repeated trips and calls to the bank, none of the staff respond positively on the status of my application. Yesterday my patience gave up when the teller Ms. Selena asked me to fill a fresh application. I have been a customer of this bank for the past 5 years and never before faced such an issue. I request you to look into the matter at the earliest and have my account detail book issued. I hope this kind of trouble never happen again.


Thanks and regards,


Matt Christian

This morning while watching television, I saw on the news show on private television station about world dance day. Solo citizens and artists who were there celebrate it. The celebration began at 6:30 in the morning. In the television screen, I could see a convoy of an artist riding delman. There are also some dancers who will dance for 24 hours, starting at 7:00 until 7:00 on the day after. The celebration centered on the campus of the Indonesian Solo Arts Institute in Kentingan

For me it sounded a little strange because its the first time I hear there is a world dance day on April 29. To get rid of curiosity, I also seek to know their origins through cyberspace.

When searching using the Indonesian language, I did not find any articles or documents that explain the world of dance today.
Then I searched using English, the world dance day and then finally appear. Here the explanation :

International Dance Day (World Dance Day) has been celebrated on April 29 through promotion by the International Dance Council (CID), an umbrella organization within UNESCO for all kinds of dance.

The holiday was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO International Theater Institut. The date was suggested by Pyotr Gusev to commemorate the birth of Jean Georges Noverre.

Among the goals of the Dance Day are to increase the awarness of the importance of dance among the general public, as well as to persuade governments all over the world to provide a proper place for dance in all systems of education, from primary to higher.

Every year, there is special message commemorating world dance day. Here's a message for this year :

The official message for

Dance Day
29 April 2010



The United Nations proclaimed 2010 as International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures and designated UNESCO as lead agency in this celebration, having regard to its experience of more than 60 years in advancing the mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples.

Irina Bokova, the new Director-General of UNESCO, has proposed a universal vision, which she has called the “new humanism”; a vision open to the entire human community, providing a humanist response to globalization and crisis, aiming at the safeguarding of social cohesion and the preservation of peace.

Dance, being a central part of every culture, constitutes the ideal means for bringing
together people from different countries. Festivals promote in the most lively manner reciprocal knowledge and respect of diversity; there are hundreds of millions attending international dance festivals each year. Teachers offering classes in foreign countries provide immediate bridges of understanding ingrained into the bodies of dancers; there are tens of thousands of dance teachers crossing national borders yearly.Congresses and open conferences provide opportunities to showcase one's work to an audience of peers; there are dozens of international meetings of dance researchers, historians and critics in any given year.

Even outside festivals, classes or conferences, simply watching on television a dance from a foreign country offers the most striking, appealing and convincing image of another ethnic group.

For vividly illustrating cultural diversity, for embodying rapprochement, there is no better means than dance.


Prof. Alkis Raftis
President of the International Dance Council CID

After seeing for a moment, I understand why today the world of dance was held. Because art is so universally expected to be able to unite the difference. Thus writing about the dance world today. hopefully can add to the knowledge the reader friends. God Bless Indonesia.
