HAPPY IDUL FITRI!!!

It's been a long time since the last time I wrote something in this blog. Yeah...! This month is my vacation in my hometown. Not the fasting which has been weighing me in writing, but... I just wanted to enjoy my holiday - after two years without coming home.

Now, in the end of Ramadan: to fetch the first of Syawal, I'd like to say,

"Minal aidin wal faidzin! Forgive me from the deep in!"

And...

"Happy Idul Fitri 1430 H!"

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

By: 'Ammar Lelo Andiko A. A.


When you don't know what to do
will you turn in two?

When everything goes wrong
which do you prefer in among?
will you keep in strong?

When there's no one you can rely on
who will you depend upon?
which way will you carry on?
where will you bring your own?

A LITTLE VIEW OF ANAMBAS ISLANDS & TAREMPA CITY

Indonesia's archipelago consists of many islands. Five main islands are Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Beside those islands, there are lots of small islands - included Anambas Islands.

Anambas Islands are lied on the South of South China Sea between Malayan Peninsula (West) and Kalimantan (Borneo) island (East).

In the past, these islands are the territory of Natuna Residence (Indonesia), but today they already have their own autonomy - which is called as Anambas Residence.

Anambas Residence has a capital named as Tarempa. Tarempa city is looked beautiful from several pictures. Here is a view of this city:


I have a native friend come from that place. She said that Tarempa - long time ago - named as Terempa. But, the pronounce then changed the name, so it's called as Tarempa today. I still do not know what the meaning of this "Tarempa" is.

She also said that this city has a lot of variation of cookies. They are so delicious.

The main tribe who lives in Tarempa and Anambas Islands, is Malayan - like the most citizens of Kep. Riau Province & Riau Province.
