DREAM

Hi, Im gonna tell you 'bout my dreams now

As opposed to alot of people, i dont really have a dream job, but i do have a dream. SO my dream is to live and die happy. Thats really all i want, i dont care how my life goes as long as while im living my life, i feel happy. Though i do have a blurry picture of what i want to be, occupation wise that is, id like to work at the field. i mean i dont want to work in a cramped office or at home. i want to work outdoors, maybe in a jungle, or in a forest, or on the sea.

My strengths are, I can easily socialize with people, i can talk well in front of an audience, i like to try new things, im pretty brave, and im not that bad at sports.

my weaknesses are, i am stubborn, i easily get bored, im lazy, i tend to speak freely which could cause alot of problems, i choose to argue if i disagree with someone, and im not tidy at all.

EDUPASSION

Hi, now im gonna talk about edupassion. so edupassion is an event held by the osis of SMAN 3 Bandung, for the students of SMAN 3 Bandung. it aims to give the students knowledge about the various universities in Indonesia. So there are alot of stands from various universities around Indonesia.

There, i saw Universitas Indonesia, Unipersitas Padjadjaran, Universitas Parahyangan, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Maranatha, Universitas Telkom. anmd many others

I learned a lot about those fore mentioned universities. Heir majors, their top majors, how to apply, how hard it is to apply, what the environment is like around there, and many more.

Overall i really like Edupassion cause it really gives me knowledge and gives me a better image of how i want my future to be.

Bakti Desa

Bakti Desa

So theres this event my school holds every year for 11th graders, its called bakti desa. It is held at desa Cibeureum. So what is bakti desa? its an even where the 11th grade students of SMA Negeri 3 Bandung stay for 3 days and 2 nights at a "desa" or village. So we, the students, are divided into groups consisting of 4-5 people and are assigned a "parent" each group. 

So the first day, we arrived at the village and went through the opening ceremonies, and then after that we were led to our gorup's assigned parents' homes. then we settled in, relaxed, talked to the villagers, played with the kids, and ate until the end of the day and slept.

The next day we woke up early and had some light breakfast, after that we went to the fields to help our "parent" in their work in the fields. after helping out, we ate breakfast at the field near a fish pond. which was actually very nice. the rest of the day we just played and mingled with the villagers. we even taught some of the kids math.

On the last day, we went to this lake near the village using pick up trucks to get there. there, we enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake. After that we went back to the village and started packing and saying goodbye to the villagers there.

Overall, bakdes was really fun. it was really nice to have spent some time with the villagers. i learnt alot about being humble and being thankful for what you have. cause some folks have it harder than us.

The Food Of Hell From Indonesia

The Food Of Hell From Indonesia

1. Famous as one of the best tropical countries, Indonesia provides tons of uniqueness and excitement. Its nature, culture, and art always bring millions of tourist each year. However, this time we are going to talk about one thing, Indonesia’s cuisine, in particular Sambal.

Sambal or sambel is infamous among tourist as the food of hell for its undeniable ability to make the consumer produces tears and sweat when eating. Produced using chili as its main ingredient, sambal does indeed taste extremely spicy.

Sambal is made by grinding ‘cabai’ or chili, along with several complements such as onion, cherry,  tomato, ‘terasi’, sugar, and salt. The ingredients are grinded using traditional tool made usually from wood or plastic. The texture is smooth with a vibrant color of green and red, depending on which chili you use.

Infamous among tourists for its spiciness, many tourists avoid it. However, some of them are challenged and try to eat it. There are tons of videos on the internet where foreigners try sambal on camera, a lot of viewers enjoy and laugh seeing it. Those who dare to try usually will get stomach ache or turn very red and sweaty in the face. Though super spicy, locals eat it in almost daily basis as their main meal. Locals usually eat sambal as a side dish to main dishes such as Mie Ayam, Baso, soups, Soto, Ayam Goreng etc. Some locals even refuse to eat if there is no sambal.

Today some brands of prepared, prepacked, instant, or ready-to-use sambal are available in warung, traditional markets, supermarkets and convenience stores. Most are bottled sambal, with a few brands available in plastic or aluminum sachet packaging. Compared to traditional sambals, bottled instant sambals often have a finer texture, more homogenous content, and thicker consistency, like tomato ketchup, due to the machine-driven manufacturing process. Traditionally made sambals ground in a pestle and mortar usually have a coarse texture and consistency.

Incorrect Information

• "The ingredients are grinded using traditional tool made usually from wood or plastic." The traditional tool for grinding ingredients are made from stone.
• " Though super spicy, locals eat it in almost daily basis as their main meal." Locals don't eat sambal as a main meal, they eat it as some kind of sauce.
