TURBUD BALI

Last school holiday, I went to Bali with my friends’ school. We went there by plane at the morning. It took about  approximately 2 hours until we arrived at Bali. When we arrived, we directly went to Tanah Lot. Tanah lot temple is one of Bali's most important landmarks, famed for its unique offshore setting and sunset backdrops. An ancient hindu shrine perched on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves.

The place is very sacred, peaceful and has amazing scenic beauty. The lake beside tanalot temple is a view not to be missed. Watching the sunset beside the lake would be so amazing but unfortunately we couldn’t make it because we had to go to another destination.

At 5 pm we arrived in RM Jimbaran. This is a unique opportunity to dine on the sand and to savor the experience of fire-grilled seafood. We enjoyed the lapping tides and the sunsets. The foods are quite good. It has many variety of seafood like fish, shrimp, scallop, squid and many more. But  After that we went back to hotel.

The next day, we went to Tanjung Benoa. It’s very nice to be there. I went flying fish-ing and donut boating. It was really fun. I thought it would be horrible because i'm scared of heigth but i guess i change my mind. 

Then,we went to pandawa beach at 1 pm. Just like the orther beach in Bali, it also has a nice view.This is beautiful beach, with blue sea and sandy white. The beach was clean and less crowded. The snd feel softer on the feet as well. We just simply enjoy the waves that came splashing on us. Not forget to took a photos as well.

Next, we went to Garda Wisnu Kencana (GWK).The main attraction at GWK will be the statue of Wisnu, the statue of Garuda, and the hands of Wisnu.We could take pictures of these big parts (Garuda and Vishnu) of what should become the biggest statue of the world.

To end the second day we watch Devdan Show. he Devdan Show is like nothing we had ever seen before –  a stunning combo of Cirque Du Soleil style acrobatics, break-dancing, hip hop, ballet, traditional dance and puppetry, special effects, lighting, water and fire all rolled in to one highly professional and thoroughly enjoyable jam-packed 90 minute production. It's a fun way to learn about indonesia culture

The third day, we went to Tirta Empul.  Tourists from every country stood along the edges of the pools taking photos. Local Balinese and Hindu worshippers stood in long snaking lines in the pools, waiting to dip their heads below the water spouts.

As you stand in the inner courtyard you’ll quickly notice that the people in the baths follow a purification ritual. Bathers start in the pool on the left and dip themselves under the first water spout. Once they have cleansed themselves under the first spout they join the next queue. They continue this process until they have been cleansed under each of the 30 waterspouts that fill the two purification pools.

Aftet that we continue our trip to Desa Adat Panglipuran. The village so clean and tidy. they have same ancient gate, so artistic. had plants and flower everywhere, so colorful.the villagers very friendly. they sell some souvenirs but i didnt buy any. 

And then we went back to the hotel to get ready for Malam Akrab (Makrab).

This event aim to know each other better( as a student of SMA 3 Bandung). There was a movie about ourself, band, and games. It was such a amazing night. It end at 11 pm and then we went back to hotel.

On the 4th day, we start the day go to kuta beach. It's a good place to do surf, play water sport, or even just sightseeing enjoy the sunset. 

Across the beach is crowd of traditional market, pub and many more. It always enjoyful to spend my vacation here, it will ensure give you happy memories.

After we playing in the beach we went to Krisna for shopping. I bought a milk pie and accessories for my family and frinds. There's alot of souvenir things. There's chlotes, foods, bags, sandals, and manh more.

The last destination of our trip in Bali is Bedugul. The view of the lake and temple is wonderful and the altitude induced cool foggy weather adds to the atmosphere. In fact the cool weather was quite a shock to me in Bali. I thought it was hot everywhere. If you want to view a temple without the hassles or pressures of Uluwatu, Besakih or even Tanah Lot, this is probably the place for you. The drive to Ulan Danu is quite enjoyable also. In all I think it's worth the visit.

Maybe that's all of my holiday experience in Bali,it was so memorable for me, i hope that i'll be back again and visit another amazing places in Bali. 

Natural phenomenone

Glowing waves


The Maldives is known for its breathtaking beaches: warm white sand, waves that ebb and flow rhythmically and blue lagoons. This tropical nation consists of 26 ring-shaped atolls, which are made up of more than 1,000 coral islands. When looking at what the Maldives has to offer, we’re not surprised it’s a top holiday or honeymoon destination.

The glowing beach, known for its world famous sea of stars, is located in the Vaadhoo Island, one of the islands of Raa Atoll in the Maldives.

Glow-in-the-dark blue waves caused by the phenomenon known as harmful algal bloom or “red tide”, are seen at night near Sam Mun Tsai beach in Hong Kong January 22, 2015. Algal blooms occur when there is a sharp growth in algae population in a water system, and are considered harmful when resulting in negative impacts on other organisms. Picture taken using long exposure.
1.What Makes The Beach Bioluminescent?
A natural phenomenon occurs in the Maldives, which turns the beach into a glowing sea of stars – the beach is actually bioluminescent, but is commonly referred to as a glowing beach. This phenomenon is caused by bioluminescent organisms.

Initially this magical effect was said to be caused by bioluminescent plankton, but Cornell biology professor James Morin told Huffington Post that the organisms creating the glow in the Maldives are ‘ostracod crustaceans’. Referring to the organisms as phytoplankton is a common misconception.


Why is it called the glowing beach?
The bioluminescent organisms – ostracod crustaceans – emit light that sets the beach ablaze like stars. This results in the phenomenon of the glowing beach.

An explosion of bioluminescent organisms makes the beach look like it’s been hit by blue radioactive fairy dust. When the waves wash ashore, the sand also starts to glow. This glowing beach really is a sight to behold; hearing someone describe it or seeing pictures of it, doesn’t do this place justice.

Although it looks like a chemical spill, it is perfectly safe to be in the water during bioluminescence.

The phytoplankton emit light for no more than a second, while ostracods make the magic last for seconds to even a minute or longer.

What causes the light emissions?
Ostracods emit light when something comes into the water,while phytoplankton emit light from their cells when they are stressed or there’s an unsettling in the water. Seeing as this happens for no more than a second, the phytoplankton emit quite a bit of light because they are easily unsettled: a wave, a kayak or even a hand stirring the water will do the trick. Informally, it’s called the ‘firefly effect’.


2.  Why Does It Happen In The Maldives?
Bioluminescent organisms are often found in warm coastal waters. Because the Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean – the warmest ocean in the world – this is the perfect condition for a bioluminescent beach.

Does it only happen in the Maldives?
It would add to the wonder of the glowing beach if it only occurred in one place, but Mother Nature had other plans.

Bioluminescent organisms are not only found in the Maldives, and the best part about these other countries that also have glowing beaches is that they all make for amazing holiday destinations.

Bali, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Japan are a few. Here’s a list of 12 stunning places to see bioluminescence. The glowing beaches found across these 12 stunning places have different organisms that emit light and different reasons why they emit light.

‘Firefly squid’ is the reason why Toyama Bay, a bay near the Japan Sea, is bioluminescent. When it comes to luminescence, it seems Japan has more to offer:

Gyokusendo Caves in Okinawa, Japan, is a well-known cave because of what lurks inside: a 3 mile long cave, consisting of limestones with stalactites hanging from the walls.The crystal clear pool is famous for its glowing water that is home to some colourful fish. Some of the spots in the cave are safe for diving.

India, too, has glowing forests and beaches.


3.  When Is The Best Time To See The ‘Glowing Beach’ in the Maldives?
The best time to get a witness the glowing beach in the Maldives is mid-summer through to winter. However, there are no guarantees that you will see the beach come alight. Consider yourself lucky, if you see something like this.

The glowing beach is stunning, and it’s crazy to think that something so fascinating can be called a natural phenomenon. Or that it’s even real.

Another great reason to visit the Maldives
Seeing as the Maldives is a tropical nation, a lot of its activities consist of spending time in water. But with the impressive waters and aquatic life, we’re not complaining.

Manta point is a popular attraction because it’s home to the majestic manta rays. The elusive animals will make an appearance every now and then: they’re great for business because people keep coming back to see them or get a closer look (if you were lucky to spot them the first time round).

The private half day local experience of Malé is a great way to walk in the shoes of a Maldivian.


Malé, the capital of the Maldives is known for its mosques, cultural heritage and vibrant buildings.The Malé fish market offers an authentic experience; fishermen expertly filleting and cleaning fish. Fridays are sacred days, so do keep this in mind as businesses will close for mosque.

When it comes to the bioluminescent beach of the Maldives, this is where Mother Nature shows off. You could always camp out in the Maldives to witness the sometimes elusive, glowing beach in the Maldives.

There are so many adventures to be had: snorkeling, whale watching, boat trips and boat tours, scuba diving or witnessing the way of life for the Maldivian citizens, and sights to be seen: the gorgeous sacred mosques that are architectural masterpieces.Seeing the glowing beach is just another great reason to visit the Maldives.

BAKDES

on the beginning of 2019, i attended a social activities that was held by my school (SMA Negeri 3 Bandung). it called Bakdes ( bakti desa). This event aim to build a sympathy for the students to care more about humanity and be grateful for everything they have.

in this time we were going to Desa... .It took about 4-5 hours to get in there. it's such a nice village with the amazing scenery and the cold temperature which i love it. 

we stayed with my friends in the villager house. they were really kind for letting us slept in their house, made us foods, and for letting us walked around their farm, garden and many more. there were various of gardens such as  carrots, spinach, chilies also we saw various animals like cows, sheeps and even a swans. The house that we stayed wasn't a huge and comfortable one. i was so sad for them to get in cold in the night and  for not having enough space for anything else.

we spent our times with just walked around and talked with another villager. We met a farmer, gardener, florist, and many more. from what i got they said that one of their problems in this village is about education. they didn't have yet enough school for the children. That's why just few of them that works on the office, or company that got enough salary for their life's. most of them working on their parentss' farm or garden.

we were also went to jembatan cinta. there was a beautiful lake with the trees grows around the lake. we spend 2 hours there just for take a photos and enjoyed it. we 

on the 3rd day we shared clothes and foods with the villager. we shared a basic foods such as sugar, fry oil, rice, instant noodles, and snack. we helped each other to prepared those things in the plastic bag. the villager  seems enthusiastic and happy for it

On the last day we went back to our school again. it was such a meaningful vacation to me. i got a new  step parents, got a new family, got a new home. i hope i could be more grateful for everything that i have, for the life that i live, for my family and many more. Maybe i'll be back in the next ramadhan. i'm thankful to them for accepted us.

I hope the goverment can be more serving villager people, more care about the education here because there's just few of schools,that's why there's so many young teenager that had been married with limited knowledge and ability also for the facilities.

I'm not born in a rich family, but i think it's enough for me to have a wonderful family.


MY DREAMS
When i was a child i really want to be an animator, cuz i really like cartoon movie, games, etc. But my dreams always change. But for now maybe i want to be an programmer or video make or anything about technology. Because i really interested into it.

MY STRENGTHS
I can solve any problems calmly and wisely.
Maybe it also because of me getting older and because that many problems that had happened in my life  so maybe it effected my personality.
My another strength is i'm a loyal person.
Especially with my close friends. I really trust and love them. They really meaningful for me. Eventhough they've ever made a mistake i always forgive them.

MY WEAKNESSES
i don't know how i got this issue, there's something wrong with my psychology that i have a mood swings issue
. I can't control my emotion in several times. And it happen more than once a month. It could be a mad version of me or the sad one. But luckily it's getting better.
It cause my personility. i became more introvert, so introvert is my second weakness

MY HOBBIES
I loved hiking and camping very much.
I just really like the beautiful scenery of our nature,the silence, and peace. Maybe i like mountain more than beach. Also i prefer getting cold than suffering from the heat.

I really hope that i can be a usefull person that can give a contribution for my country, and also help others live. I hope i'll find who i am in the future
