The Countryside and The City

         I believe life in the countryside is more relaxed than in the city. We wake up in the morning and have a nice breakfast like cassava or other root crops. We live and work on the farm. We do not have to run out of our house and queue to get on a bus. We do not have to fight to get on a crowded bus for an hour. We can relax. We walk out the rice fields and do our work. While we are working we talk to our neighbours. We listen to the latest news from the district so we give our opinion on the latest scandal. We can relax for a while and then start to work again. There is no hurry, if we do not finish the work today, we can finish it tomorrow unlike in the city, which all work must be completed on time. Actually I prefer to live in villages rather than having to stay in town with all the boring activity density.

The History of Bandung City

           Yesterday I had a presentation about history of Bandung city, and today I want tell about it. The city history dates from 1488 when the first reference to Bandung exists. The people lived on the banks of the Cikapundung in north Bandung and on the shores of the Great Lake of Bandung. After the Indonesian Independence in 1945, Bandung was determined as the capital of West Java province. During the 1945-1949  independence struggle against the Dutch when they wanted to reclaim their colonies, Bandung was one of the heaviest battle places. The Dutch military commander set an ultimatum for the Indonesian combatants in Bandung to leave the city. In response, on 24 March 1946, much of the southern part of Bandung was deliberately set alight as the combatants left; an event known as the Bandung Lautan Api or Bandung Sea of Flame.Today’s Bandung is a sprawling city of 2.7 million people and suffers from many of the same problems as other Indonesian cities. Maybe enough my story, I hope you can be interesting after reading my story about the history of Bandung city. Thanks for read my blog.

The Poor Man and The Rich Man

           Today I want to story about the poor man and the rich man. In a famous village in Jakarta, there was a poor cobbler and a rich businessman were neighbours. The cobbler's house was also his workshop. He sang merrily while mending shoes. He never felt it necessary to should and lock the door and windows of his house. At night he would say his prayers and go to bed. He enjoyed sound sleep all through the night.

        The rich man always saw the merry cobbler. He saw that there was nothing that worried his poor neighbour. But the rich man was full of worries himself. He could neither sing nor smile. He always should and locked each and every door and window of his house at night. He could never sleep peacefully. He was always worried about the safety of his wealth. 

            On day the rich man called the cobbler to his house. So he gives him five thousand rupiahs and said." I don't need this money. Please keep it with you. It's yours."

            At first the cobbler was happy to receive the money. But soon the big amount of money disturbed his peaceful life. For the first time he closed and locked the door and windows of his house. He woke up several time during the night to make sure that the money was safe.

            The next morning the cobbler went to his rich neighbour's house. He said to the rich man,"Sir, please take back your money so that my merry songs and sound sleep can come back to me."

             From this story, I believe that wealth does not always bring happiness for us. I hope this story can  be useful and have good value for those who read it.

The Bear and The Two Friends

          Hasan and Husen were good friends. One day they were passing through a forest. One their way, they saw a bear coming towards them. Hasan ran and climbed up a nearby tree. Husen did not know, the skill of climbing tree. But he had a good mind. He had heard that wild animals do not hurt dead bodies; therefor, he lay down on the ground. He closed his eyes and held back his breath. The bear came to Husen. He sniffed Husen's face. He thought that the man was dead. He went away.

          When the bear was out of sight, Hasan climbed down the tree. He went to Husen and asked, ''What did thee bear tell you into your ear?'' Husen retorted, ''He told me to keep away from a selfish friend like you."

            From this story we can take a lesson that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

The New Year

          The new year is a celebration in which a culture celebrates the end of one year and marked the start of the count next year, and for me a new year is time for our self to reflection of all the mistakes that we have made in the past year and change our attitude to be better than ever. Last night when everyone was busy with their show each. Me and my family prefer to watch television together at home while enjoying gulai kambing that we bought at one of our favorite restaurant. Has become our custom in every celebration of the new year to stay at home and watch television together for a lot of interesting films that aired on television every new year, and last night me and my family was watching a horror film that aired in one of television’s station entitled Kutukan Suster Ngesot and Pocong Kamar Sebelah, the films are very creepy and make the fur back of our neck stand up. We watched till two o’clock in the morning, but that didn’t make us forget to perform our subuh prayer. Hopefully the people who celebrate the new year last night also didn’t forget to perform their subuh prayer.

Signs of Judgement Day

The fifth pillars of faith is faith in the final day or the day of Judgement, which means we must be convinced of the existence of eternal life after life in this world. And there are some signs of doomsday are:
-The birth of someone who called himself Muhammad al-Mahdi, one fair and honest.
-The emergence of Dajjal who make mischief in the land.
-The emergence of two creatures named Ya'juj and Ma'juj.
-The descent of the Prophet Isa, from the sky.
-The emergence of animals that can speak like humans.
-The rising sun from the west.
-Many women doubled outnumber men.
-Indigent people racing to build luxury homes.
-Immoral act more rampant.
-The loss of the Qur'an by the comments and liver, and no one who memorized the Qur'an.
-Many children are rebellious to their parents.
-Many men like women and vice versa.
Hopefully by knowing this, we can better improve ourselves.
