Raditya Dika Goes to My School! (the twice!)

By Helena Natanael - Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Hello all! Have you got your semester holiday already? How your day going? Hope you all have a nice day.

I'm kinda surprised when I'm looking on my blog stats. The most popular post that seen hundred times by lots of people, is about RADITYA DIKA !

See? It's surprising me, how can my short post with only one pic about Raditya Dika, attracted more than 100 views? and my other posts... as you can see.. nobody view it.. *sigh*
Nah but it's alright, in fact his humorist attitude attracted so much people. Especially Indonesian, of course..

And me, I don't know how to tell it, am I that lucky so I can meet him twice? First time, on my junior high school journalism session. (click here to read that popular post that I've talked about - I wrote it in Bahasa). Then, I met him last month (5th November 2011), when my Senior High School held a cup, and they invited Raditya Dika as a guest star, his stand up comedy was pretty funny and shaking everyone's stomach.
So now, let me post some pics I shot when I met him! Enjoy :)

Happy Holidays! ;)

Know ur country, love ur country

Hi guys! The summer holiday has over. We are back to school to study again. This holiday makes me more love Indonesia although Indonesia was known as a country with the most corruption in Asia-Pacific. Every country has plus points and minus points, like a human, right?

My holiday started with boring things, staying at home and playing Restaurant City or Mafia Wars on Facebook. Then going to mall and watching on the Toy Story 3 movie in 3D format.
Oh it‘s going to rust me if stay only at home!

At the end of June 2010 was a beginning of my journey to know more, especially Jakarta and the wild animals’ life. My fam and me went to Taman Safari Cisarua-Bogor. I could see the wild animals with my own eyes, even can touch ‘em ! With little hiking, my fam and me arrived to the Curug Jaksa waterfall (at Mount Pangrango) at the corner of Taman Safari. The water was so cold and the air was quite fresh. I wondered if I were living there…

I see you, mountain :D

One week later, me and my cousins visited Old Batavia (in Bahasa : Kota Tua), downtown of Jakarta. There were old buildings from era of Nederland colonial here. The buildings had been reconstructed; the museums were clean from dust and trash. We liked going, by time machine and returning to hundred years ago in Jakarta. Every single place in this area was perfect for photography. There’re lot of traditional snacks and various souvenirs. I suggest you to visit Museum Fatahillah. The ticket is about 1000 – 2000 Rupiahs. Don’t forget to have lunch (most of tourists visit Old Batavia at the daytime) in Café Batavia if you want to feel the colonial atmosphere.

I love the black and white photo, is it better than full color ?

At the same day, my cousins and I went to Jakarta Fair Kemayoran (JFK) which to be held on 11^th June – 11^th July every year to celebrate the Jakarta Anniversary on 22^nd June. A bit crowd, but JFK becomes a shopping paradise for everyone. The products here were sold at half price of the malls – even cheaper!

Remember, the discount is up to 70 %. Some shops at malls participate in this event so called Jakarta Great Sale :)
If you haven’t visited JFK this year, there’s still a chance to visit JFK next year. Suggestion, you bring your own car or motorcycle because little hard to get home by public transport from JFK.
