Reunion of my beloved family..

Ooopss..
been planning n so excited bout posting this event
but yet, i totally forgotten!!! XD

so, this event happened last year =P
december 30th Dec 09..

I went to TAMAN SAFARI INDONESIA again!!!
finally!! after ages haven't been there!!
i miss the animal so badly!!! i miss the forest n all that!!!
yea well, dats my family =P
the zebras, rhino, hippos, tigers and all..
i love em sooooooooooooooooooo much..

i tot i've grown up
in fact, everytime i met them i become a little kid again
i will always get sooooo excited..
i can't stop myself..

now, time for photos of excitements!!!!

so, first of all, don't be shocked by the photos..
coz this Zoo is TOTALLY different to all zoos i've been to
(but i've been to this zoo since i was juz born..)
so, in this zoo most of the animals are not caged!!
to see the animals you gotta drive through the paths made

i pat the zebra ^^
i love horses n zebras..
they are dirty coz they lay on the soil n it was rainy days..


the animals walks whereever they want to..
they can even stop the car from movin LOL
you can feed em with carrots or fruits that is suitable for them to eat
just like dat..


and u can buy it on the way to the zoo
this zoo is in mountain area near Jakarta
so the fruits and vegies are fresh from the plantations..
most of the case we feed them bananas..
they eat that thing well..


even the huge elephant also goes everywhere..
some of em now trained to take the rubbishes in the zoo..
and when u feed em like in that photo,
their trunk can goes into the car or sure..
if u're not used to it, u'll definitely scared..

there are, types of deers, llama, ostrich n dunno how many of other animals
that normally wanna come close n get fed
others only wanna get fed if u throw the food to them..

after the sections of this friendly animals
you'll goes to the wild not so friendly ones..
so you gotta close your window..
they are very close..



after the paths ends, u'll come to a place where the rest of the animals are caged
they hv food court, resto, and other attractions there..
games, swimming pool.. etc..

so, here are some photos from this area..


even tho these sumatran tigers are so fierce n huge
(the biggest species of tiger in the world)
but they still are cute when they drink milk ^^

they are 2 meters tall and these are the youngsters, quite like toddler
the matured ones are a little bit taller and bigger built

here in this zoo u'll always be able to take pics with the babies..
orang utan, chimpanze, white tiger, sumatran tiger babies..
dats the most common ones to find,
but i dunno if they hv others..
i wish i can hv the baby elephant, zebras and deers with me T_T
if i can hv one dat gonna b my precious photos..
baby zebra is SUPER CRAZY CUTE!!!!

however you also can see birds in this zoo..
they juz renewed the bird section
it become better now..
you can get the birds on ur hand if u bring in banana or
simply find the zoo keeper around,
they usually bring some fruits the birds normally eats
so therefore they can help u call the bird come
n stay super near to u or simply hop on ur hand


my family was quite surprised n amazed to see on of the family of Paradisaeidae
known as birds or paradise.. there are lotsa of types, but i'm not sure what type is this one..
not the superb famous one from Papua tho, but good enuf to see

then there are parts of the human made caves..
you can find free bats and owl like this one in there..
super close.. the height of the stem it's sitting on is just like 1.8m..


i tried to put my arm close to it, but it totally ignores me T_T
i wants it to jump onto my arm!!!!

anyway, if that owl don't wants me there are still lotsa birds in the sky..
so i gave my arm to a Hornbill..


i'm not sure which Hornbill and where is the origin of this one..
i only know they are animals, cool to me, me cool to them
we lovey dovey each other, then simply keep on observing the details
and i'll admire then so much ^^

i love the dark royal green colour of the wings that actually
are black when they are not exposed to lights..
birds feathers are superb.. i love em..

the dark coloured part at the back of the head are hairs..
quite long, and they seems so happy and spoiled when my dad rubs it..

unluckily that was a one wet day, rain pours badly
so we decided to go home earlier and we didn't had enough time
to see everyone of the animals anyway..
too many of them..

so there you go.. lotsa other animals are not pictured here
but oh well.. try go to that zoo urself!!!



so here is the sweet smile for a goodbye now..
(pygmy hippo, close enough to pat them and hand feed)

Down To Earth Hero's Death

Turut Berduka Cita
atas meninggalnya presiden Indonesia yang ke-4

(deepest Condolence for the death of Indonesian's 4th President)

Live: 7.9.1940 - 30.12.2009
Presidency: 1999-2000

K.H. Abdul Rahman Wahid


As you can see from this pic,
i think this shows his personality very well
he's soooo "chill"!!
some people think he don't hv the charisma of power
doesn't shows authority..

he's a very humoric person,
his humor about politics area always sound so easy
as in, sound like he's taking bad things in it as easy as a joke..
but it always educate people to think whats good wats bad..
only through his short jokes..
with his easy going look like in the pic above..

personally i think this kinda leader that can be heard by people well
he is a very islamic person
studied islam educations in Universities in Egypt and Iraq before
his father, grandpa and great grandpa are all important people
of the biggest islam organization in Indo

yet,
he only see the world in good or bad..
he don't see differences in it
he's super into democratic in religions, politics, and races
to anything he think is bad
he simply spit out a short joke bout it
dats all
he only hope people understand and change

but when he ruled Indonesia
he really take control to change some serious stuffs..

** He allow Confucius to be the 6th listed religion in Indo
** He stop USA from taking control of Indo's development
(USA been trying to slow down our country politically)
** He made Chinese New Year a public holiday as Idul Fitri
** He re-allowed chinese to have their cultures on public

however, i'm not a politics expertise
so dats the only rough infos to show you how different he is to Indo
he made Indonesians less racist
educated and liberated in expressing themselves
even since then lotsa real indos loves to wear chinese dress in public
they showed how they love F4 as well by then LOL

unluckily he've been not so well in health
and most of the politicians only thinking about money,
not like Gus Dur (Abdul Rahman Wahid's friendly nick)
this president never been into Corruptions ever in his life
so when he ruled, not much people can corrupt
therefore they took Gus Dur off the presidency (somehow)
using his health as the reasons..

in fact that day he got off, seems like he got threathened to get off
oh well, no matter what
even tho his life and presidency is quite short
but Indo have this 1 national condolence song with a ref

"Telah gugur pahlawanku
Tunai sudah janji bakti
Gugur satu tumbuh seribu
Tanah air jaya sakti"

means:

"My hero has fallen
Devotion has Paid
Fall one grows thousand
Homeland "jaya sakti""

XD pardon my english,
this lyrics is deep
i can understand it well in Indo
but dunno how to translate it to english LOL

anyone can translate Jaya and Sakti to english??
lol.. i'm soooooo nvr use those kinda formal english lol
Jaya is something like "glory"

anyway.. i really do hope that what he did in 1 year presidency
and his loss now, can actually make more people think
and be a good human being as an Indonesian
and hope we all built Indo be super strong..
super good, and developed..

those are my dreams too..
hope we all can make it together..
lets bring his spirit with all of us..

Gus Dur Died @ 18.45 Jakarta time
