My Village Become Kampoeng Agrowisata

I live in a suburban of South Jakarta called Pasanggrahan. My village or Kampoeng is in Rukun Warga 06 of Pasanggrahan. On last Sunday 25 October 2009, my village was established as Kampoeng Agrowisata. It was established so, since the local citizen ,by its own initiative, has succefully greened the village with plantation. Every house in the Kampoeng plant the fruit in its yard. Then the wild birds and bees make their nest in many citizen houses and the big plantation. Every morning the wild birds sings like in a real small village.

I planted Srikaya fruit, mango and many other plantation. I fulled my yard and house with plantataion. The environment in my Kampoeng become cool and friendly.

The above picture shows the main entrance gate during the Kampoeng Agrowisata Pesanggrahan establishment. This is the Jalan Nuri entrance with ondel-ondel on both side of the entrance. Ondel-ondel is traditional gigantic puppet of Betawi.

The establishment was done by the Jakarta Selatan Master . Now, Jakarta Selatan has three places for showcase of green urban environment to show to foreigner.

Larno and Siti, the Javanese Street Musician

Today, in the middle of the day, Larno and Siti stopped by in front of my house . They are a pair of javanese street musician. I like listening their music because they sang a javanese romantic song. They are not like other street musician, who usually force the house owner to give them money eventhough they sang a very bad song.

Larno and Siti came from Solo. They came to Jakarta tried to find their destiny. Larno and Siti sang several very good song for us.

RUBBER GLOVES

Next time you use a pair of rubber gloves, You're going to smile when you think of this: A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little Old Lady, was nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his Gloves.

'Do you know how they make these gloves?' he asked.

'No, I don't,' she replied.

'Well,' he spoofed, 'there's a building in Canada with a big tank Of latex and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them Into boxes of the right size.

' She didn't crack a smile. 'Oh, well. I tried,' he thought. But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, She burst out laughing.

'What's so funny?' he asked 'I was just envisioning how condoms are made!'

Sang Burung Merak Itu telah Pergi

WS Rendra sang penyair besar Indonesia telah berpulang. Kami turut berduka. Indonesai kehilangan seorang raja penyair sastra Ibndonesia kontemporer modern. Dia dulu teman SMP ibu ku di Solo. Ibuku sering cerita tentang Rendra yang jago bahasa Indonesia di SMPnya sampai jauh melebihi guru sastranya. Ternyata di kemudian hari dia menjadi Maestro Sastra Indonesia yang metrajai dan mewarnai sastra modern Indonesia. Selamat jalan Pak Rendra.
