This is might be a common story but it's complicated to be finished. This is about me and my girlfriend. We were introduced for the first time at the internet store next to my office with my friend which is actually her husband. For the first time I don't have any feeling to her, but I amazed her, because she is beautiful. Just in the last one year I close to her and she often told me about her problem with her husband till she decided to divorce and want to marry another man and she want to change her religion, but I advice her for not to to that, what your son will be later on, you must think about your son, not just your self. A few months later she told me the her relationship is over because her boyfriend didn't want to divorce her wife, and she little bit frustrated, so she often send email to her boyfriend's wife actually he didn't want to be with you again, "being with you is just a compulsion for him" that's her word and she send it by using different email address. And I already falling in love to her and told that I love her, so we begin our story as the java people say "Witing tresno jalaran saka kulino" and we do our relation ship is just normal, we never do kisses but we just only holding hands. actually I ever think will this relationsip end to marry or not, because I'm and her husband are from the same tribe, and it's difficult for me, my parents also will against our relationship. A few months ago she quarreled with her husband,and want to divorce, but she just leave her husband and she stay at her parents house because her husband suspecting her that she should be go to her parents house and accompanying her son not use her off day with reason go with her boss around of the showroom and at that time she just using jeans and T-shirt only while at the first time she accepted in that company she feel afraid about the rules and she must wearing white shirt and black pants, so that's why her husband is angry to her. I also take her to her parents house at that time. I often picking up her from her office till her house, till her son is remember and always waiting for my coming to her house. for this few weeks I pick up her but just only until a mall where she make a pact with her brother to meet and to go home together, she told his brother is attend an exhibition in nearby so we can go home together. It's happening for a few weeks, I just believe like that, but inside of my hearth I feel suspicious to her that she didn't meet her brother maybe she meet her ex-boyfriend. I just quiet not talking about anything. When I told her that I want to go to your house to meet your son because I miss him, then she told me if her son is go to BDO with her parents to attend a family wedding party and they will be a weeks in there, at that time was on wednesday, she told me that her son is go on tuesday, at that time when I was finished selling my phone to a person in a place near by her house, I pass her house and I see her father, and also her brother's car and another car inside the garage. she told me thet they go to BDO by using shuttle and will be pick up by a family in there. I talk to my self why she lies on me, there must be something she wanted to hide from me. She told me that her son is go to many places, well may be I am a fool person that believe like that to a women, that her husband also not believing her. A few months ago she told me that she was do CT scan to hospital and told me that she got brain cancer stadium 2. And for further action doctors recommend for immediate suctioning of fluid in her brain, well 2 weeks ago I was lend her money 10 millon rupiah to help her do her suction fluid and the money which is need the amount is about 20 million rupiah, the another 10 million she said that she borrowed from a loan shark. and the last 25th august she do the surgery, she told me on the next day in the morning. Right now we are not getting along each other, because of some sms that I send to her that she leave me and forget me just like that after she got what she wanted, and she told me that "she is not a nut who forgot the skin" and the "suction fluid also didn't make her better", why I do that because I feel that her attention to me is less and when she do the surgery she didn't told me, she said that she will told me before she receive the money, and when I ask why you didn't told me, she said that "suddenly and no time anymore and there is assistance on Tuesday so I'll have to do it", she fell afraid about her job right now, so she must following what the company said. and in the next day she must working in the morning and in the afternoon she must go to customer's house to offering the furniture product. when I check her email just now, I read that she still do conversation with her ex-boyfriend she said that "I'm confused". the time is at august 25th at 12.25 pm, while if she want to do that she must do it from morning because she must do CT scan first than surgery that will take long time all the day, and she must rest also at the hospital. So at this time I strengthen my heart to establish her as a woman liars. I don't know what she did with my money, well I can only make all of this as a lesson, and pray to God I hope she can change andnot being a liars again. Later on I will ask her about her medical letter if I meet her again, if she not angry to me again, then I'll ask the original not the copied.
Sunda Kelapa Harbour
Sunda Kelapa is the old port of Jakarta located on the estuarine of Ciliwung River. "Sunda Kalapa" (Sundanese: "Coconut of Sunda") is the original name, and it was the main port of Sunda Kingdom of Pajajaran. The port is situated in Penjaringan sub-district, of North Jakarta, Indonesia. Today the old port only accommodate pinisi, a traditional two masted wooden sailing ship serving inter-island freight service in the archipelago. Although it is now only a minor port, Jakarta had its origins in Sunda Kelapa and it played a significant role in the city's development.
History
According to the Chinese source, Chu-fan-chi, written circa 1200, Chou Ju-kua identified the two most powerful and richest kingdoms in the Indonesian archipelago asSrivijaya and Java (Kediri). According to this source, in the early 13th Century, Srivijaya still ruled Sumatra, the Malay peninsula, and western Java (Sunda). The source identifies the port as strategic and thriving, pepper from Sunda being among the best in quality. The people worked in agriculture and their houses were built on wooden piles (rumah panggung). However, robbers and thieves plagued the country.[1]
From 13th to 16th century Sunda kelapa was the main port of Sunda Kingdom. The port served the capital, Pakuan Pajajaran, located about 60 km inland south, along Ciliwung river hinterland, now the site of modern Bogor. The port thrive on international spice trade especially pepper, the main spice produce of Sunda kingdom. Sunda Kelapa, together with Aceh and Makassar, were one of the few Indonesian ports that maintained ties with Europe.
In 1522, the Portuguese secured a politics and economic agreement with Sunda Kingdom, the authority of the port. In exchange for military assistance against the threat of rising Islamic Javan Sultanate of Demak, Prabu Surawisesa, king of Sunda at that time, granted them free access to the pepper trade. Portuguese who were in the service of the sovereign, made their homes in Sunda Kelapa.
However in 1527, Fatahillah, on behalf of Demak attacked Portuguese in Sunda Kelapa and succeeded in conquering the harbour on June 22, 1527, after which Sunda Kelapa was renamed Jayakarta.[2] Later the port become the part of Banten Sultanate.
In 1619, Jan Pieterszoon Coen, an official working for the Dutch East India Company, seized the port of Jayakarta from the Sultanate of Banten and razed the city. From the ashes of Jayakarta, the Dutch build a new city, Batavia. The old port served as the main port of Batavia until late 19th century, when Netherlands East Indiesgovernment decided to built a new Tanjung Priok port to accommodate the increasing traffic as the result from the opening of the Suez Canal.[3] The new port located 9 kilometers east from the old port. After the independence of Republic of Indonesia, the Batavia old port is renamed back to its original name, Sunda Kelapa, as a tribute to the long history of the port as the cradle of Jakarta.
Tangkuban Perahu Volcano
Tangkuban perahu is a volcano, 25 kilometers north of Bandung direction of Lembang. Its location is in between Sagalaherang village, Sagalaherang district, Subang regency and Cikole village, Lembang district, Bandung regency. This is Bandung's most famous tourist volcano just 28 km north of the city. This volcano offers many places to see and explore. Whether we look into the huge crater or hike down into it, stroll through the forest on its slopes, or simply enjoy the splendid panoramic scenery. Mt. Tangkuban Perahu is an interesting destination that everyone in the Bandung area is fond of visiting. When seen from Bandung, Mt. Tangkuban Perahu has a distinctive shape, like an upside down boat. Tangkuban Perahu means, in fact, "up-turned boat" This peculiar shape has stimulated the fantasy of the Sundanese people from early times as expressed in the Legend of Sangkuriang. Geologically, Mt. Tangkuban Perahu has played a significant role in the development of Parahyangan highlands. Eruptions have contributed immensely to the hills north of Bandung through lava flowing into the valleys and hardening into rock, thus forming big cliffs over which waterfalls leap. Likewise, mud flows have formed a semi-circular cone of gentle gradient (what geologists call "a fan"), which is now a mass that blocked the valley of the ancient Citarum River near present day in Padalarang (some 18 km west of Bandung), this caused a lake to form covering the whole Bandung plain.
