Good morning, Robbie and friends,

I'm so sorry for my belated response in this challenge. Since no body posted Indonesian dishes, I will do. :D I hope you won't miss these dishes whenever you visit Indonesia. ^^ [Tourist guide :D ]

1. Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)

Nasi goreng is the mainstay cuisine of Indonesia. It is so tasty or even spicy. :) Most people (including foreign tourists) like it and commonly every one can make it so that it becomes the cheapest and easiest food to make.

The King asked the upright soldier to bring the note and to give personally to his troop leader, while at the back of the King’s mind; he will do anything to cover up his unjust conduct and unfair behavior. After all, he has given him a chance to head his way home, yet he declined the fortune to live long. The King has left no choice because sooner or later the woman’s pregnancy will be an obvious matter, and the King will be the sole responsible for it, at least to his advisers’ critical eyes,

How to get out of tension

We all  are human beings (not machines),  will have worries or tensions in our life. Due to these tensions and worries, we will not be able to perform our best in  daily life. Think a person with tensions and a person without any tensions, Who will win the rise? Definitely a person without tensions.

We stay without tensions are very important for our own success. 

 Here, I am bringing a smallest technique to burst

your tensions. I applied it and worked for me. The science b

Last summer, I decided to do laser operation for my myopia. Until now I faced it with contact lenses. In fact, I have myopia from 15 years old. I wore glasses for 1,5 years and since then I was wearing only contact lenses. I had in the back of my head the laser but I didn’t know in which age of my life I would do it. It was something that I wasn’t thinking it for many years. But this year after the urging of my mother, I decided to do it.

On October, I went to a doctor to collect information abou

My friends! We are leaving for winter vacation to Europe at last! I can't wait to see some snow and to feel at least some frost, to play snowballs and to make a snowman! I hope, this year it will not be as dirty and miserable as it was as last year!

Well, I hope, you will go on playing our games  keeping their tracks for us not to be shocked with the amount of work we will have to do on our coming back! Hahaha! I hope, that somebody agrees to keep the record of our games.

Besides, I'd like to give

There was once a wise King who governs his nation in prudence and righteousness. His delight is to praise God and exercise justice to his people, he is a great leader that knows how to execute and implement his laws and ordinances inspired by God’s love and wisdom. There are times that his kingdom couldn’t avoid wars against other countries and an empire, to defend his territory is the typical thing to do for a King who loves his citizens. He always asks for God’s advice if he will join the legi

I cannot be here most of the time because of my work. Though I promised you that I will be active regular but I cannot. My liability and my responsibility sometimes restrict me to be keeping in touch with you my friend. It is may be common phenomenon in our life. We cannot do whatever we want to do exactly. Once I thought that I will be regular blogger, I will read & comment in all of my friends writings, I will chat with my buddy regular, I will have more learning partners bla bla bla. But actu

From chin to lips and from lips to nose is not far.

But …it  took me more than 3 months  to put both my big toes on my chin when lying on a yoga mat. The first time when my  toes touched my face I felt so happy. It was nearly  impossible  for me at first –  a yoga beginner. It took  me almost 1 month  to make it further, from my chin to my lips and 1 more month to push it to my nose. I won’t make you bored with the long narration about what I did to overcome the challenge. But I have to admit tha

During the sleepless nights like this...

Yet time was not your side?

Close your eyes and feel night

Calm your mind and you realize

The night is still young

Savor the time to live your thoughts

A professor in the science of English grammar undertook a sea voyage.
During the voyage, he asked the sailor whether knew anything of
the science of grammar.
The sailor replied that he did not.
"Then you have lost one half of your life" said
the professor.

Later, a violent storm blew out. Wind and waves swept and tossed the vessel
like a feather, and the small ship was about to sink.
The sailor came near the grammarian and
asked him, "Do you know how to swim, sir?"
The grammarian replied sadly that he did

One wintry day a Woodman was tramping home from his work when
he saw something black lying on the snow. When he came closer he
saw it was a Serpent to all appearance dead. But he took it up
and put it in his bosom to warm while he hurried home. As soon as
he got indoors he put the Serpent down on the hearth before the
fire. The children watched it and saw it slowly come to life
again. Then one of them stooped down to stroke it, but the
Serpent raised its head and put out its fangs and was about to
sting

A young Man had been caught in a daring act of theft and had
been condemned to be executed for it. He expressed his desire to
see his Mother, and to speak with her before he was led to
execution, and of course this was granted. When his Mother came
to him he said: "I want to whisper to you," and when she brought
her ear near him, he nearly bit it off. All the bystanders were
horrified, and asked him what he could mean by such brutal and
inhuman conduct. "It is to punish her," he said. "When I was

A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death
at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his
subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and
more
helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to
themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges." So the Boar
came up and drove at him with his tusks; then a Bull gored him
with his horns; still the Lion lay helpless before them: so the
Ass, feeling quite safe from danger, came up, and turning

The Lion went once a-hunting along with the Fox, the Jackal,
and the Wolf. They hunted and they hunted till at last they
surprised a Stag, and soon took its life. Then came the question
how the spoil should be divided. "Quarter me this Stag," roared
the Lion; so the other animals skinned it and cut it into four
parts. Then the Lion took his stand in front of the carcass and
pronounced judgment: The first quarter is for me in my capacity
as King of Beasts; the second is mine as arbiter; another share

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with
some water in it. 

He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much
do you think this glass weighs?' 

'50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered. 

'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,
'but, my question is: 
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?' 

'Nothing' the students said. 

'Ok what would happen if I held it up 
like this for an hour? ' the professor asked.

When something is surplus or superabundant than its usual limit it converts to the opposite. From this definition, the term extremism pops up to the surface. It's something much more than the usual. It's usually a situation of great danger or disaster, and here, I am referring to beliefs. Extremism in beliefs is the most dangerous one. It is far than the usual reason and further than is thought to be reasonable. Opinions can be expressed without going to extremes.
