VISITING YOGYAKARTA

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from Malioboro

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.

HOLIDAY AT HOME

Last thursday was my day off. I didn’t go anywhere. I just stay at home for two weeks to did the same activities routinely, over and over again. I felt that was the worst day I have ever passed.

I  woke up earlier and did subuh prayer. After that, I had breakfast with my family in the morning. At 08.00 am, I turned on computer and played many games. Not felt, it was 10.00 o’clock, I rushed to take a bath to freshen my body.

Then, I watched my favorite TV programs until it almost midday. At 01.00 pm, I went to bathroom to ablution and immediately did zuhur prayer. Then, I had lunch and helped my mother to clean the house.

Because I was tired, I felt asleep on the couch. Unexpectedly, after waking up I had a guest who could cheer me up, my aunt came with her child. I kept playing with my nieces until nightfall.

Although just a home holiday, at least to refresh my mind from the routine activities in the office.

Battle of Surabaya

 The Battle of Surabaya was fought between pro-independence Indonesian soldiers and militia against British and British Indian troops as a part of the Indonesian National Revolution.

The peak of the battle was in November 1945. The battle was the heaviest single battle of the revolution and became a national symbol of Indonesian resistance.  Fighting broke out on 30 October after the British commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was killed in a skirmish. Although the Colonial forces largely captured the city in three days, the poorly armed Republicans fought for three weeks, and thousands died as the population fled to the countryside.

The battle and defence mounted by the Indonesians galvanised the nation in support of independence and helped garner international attention. For the Dutch, it removed any doubt that the Republic was not simply a gang of collaborators without popular support. It also had the effect of convincing Britain that wisdom lay on the side of neutrality in the revolution; within a few years, in fact, Britain would support the Republican cause in the United Nations.

Considered a heroic effort by Indonesians, the battle helped galvanise Indonesian and international support for Indonesian independence. 10 November is celebrated annually as Heroes’ Day.

Bandung as Sea of Fire

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.

British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945. Bandung was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke billowing high into the air everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging to British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia  destroyed the ammunition depot.

The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and people’s militia was not comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song “Halo, Halo Bandung”.

My first Experience

At that time, I was 17 years old. I asked my father to give me a gift which is a motorcycle. However, my wish was rejected by my father because I was still an adult. Then, I asked my father to teach me to ride a motorcycle. Initially, my father refused my request and promised to teach me next year, but I sulked.

Finally, my father tought me to ride a motorcycle in a field near the house. Father gave instructions on how to drive it. First, my father led me from behind and I was riding on my father. Over time, I want to try it myself. I was happy and proud to be riding a motorcycle.

A few days later, I tried to ride a motorcycle on the narrow street of my house. I was nervous when there was another motorcycle in front of me. Unexpectedly, my motorcycle hit the wall which made me falled from the motorbike.

I was afraid of being scolded when I got home. But the reality, my father was very proud of me. I was also given advice to be more calm in driving.

BIODIESEL

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.

To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by  itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.

The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

TERJEMAH

BIODIESEL

Biodiesel adalah pengganti pembakaran bersih untuk bahan bakar diesel berbasis minyak bumi. Biodiesel terbuat dari minyak nabati.

Untuk membuat atau memproduksi Biodiesel, Anda harus terlebih dahulu mulai dengan bahan baku. Bahan baku yang dibutuhkan dalam produksi Biodiesel adalah sejumlah kecil metanol dan pasokan produk sayuran siap pakai. Salah satu sayuran yang paling umum digunakan dalam produksi Biodiesel adalah jagung, meskipun tergantung pada lokasi geografis fasilitas manufaktur banyak tanaman lain yang digunakan juga (rapeseed, kedelai, biji rami, dll). Langkah pertama adalah menggunakan produk nabati mentah untuk membuat minyak nabati. Minyak sayur dengan sendirinya tidak akan menjadi apa yang Anda butuhkan untuk menyalakan mobil, dari sini ia harus diolah menjadi Biodiesel.

Proses untuk mengubah minyak nabati menjadi Biodiesel kadang-kadang disebut ester interchange. Untuk menyelesaikan proses ini minyak nabati harus dikombinasikan dengan jumlah metanol yang lebih sedikit dan kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam sejumlah kecil katalis alkalin (misalnya, 5% sampai 1% natrium hidroksida). Minyak nabati terdiri dari apa yang disebut trigliserida, yang merupakan senyawa dari alkohol gliserin trivalen dengan tiga asam lemak. Tujuan pertukaran ester adalah memisahkan molekul gliserin dari tiga asam lemak dan menggantinya dengan tiga molekul metanol. Proses ini kemudian menghasilkan sekitar 90% Biodiesel dan 10% dari produk sampingan gliserin. Produk sampingan gliserin dapat digunakan dalam sejumlah proses kimia lainnya untuk industri yang berbeda.
