My Inspiring Figure

One of my future goal is to be an architect. There is someone that inspiring me to be an architect. He is one of the Indonesian architect. His name is Yu Sing.

Yu Sing was born in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia in 1976. He graduated from Institut Teknologi Bandung in 1999, majoring Architecture Engineering.

I like Yu Sing because he has committed to build low-cost housing for the people. Yu Sing also have idealism that the concept of the architect should not always be the property of the rich. I am also fascinated with Yu Sing architectural design inspired by traditional houses in various regions in Indonesia such as the Rumah Betang, Rumah Panggung, Rumah Terapung, etc.

In 2008, answering his life long search for meanings, Yu Sing established akanoma, an independent architecture design studio that provides affordable designs for the middle and lower income families. He has also continuously been working with young apprentices and students catering the dream of middle-lower income families to have their own architect-designd houses. 

By the year 2009, Yu Sing published ‘Mimpi Rumah Murah’, a book of affordable houses.

Akanoma itself has four main design philosophy:

1. Put forth architecture for all
2. Bring traditional architecture forward
3. Build nature-culture-economy-architecture interdependency
4. Promote eco-tourism along the locals

 

Here are some architectural designs by Yu Sing and team.
1. Rumah ranting

There are many waste materials used to build this house

2.  Rumah kampung

   

Most of the material used in this house are woods. These materials are widely used for people's homes. These materials are also known as the "material of the people". In this house there are no expensive materials.

3.  Rumah lengkung

This home design is centered in the middle of the garden with the spaces around them and surrounded by front garden and a back garden. Spaces are arranged circular-curved, and a park centered in the middle as a point of interest.

There are still many designs that have built by Yu Sing and team. All of them are very interesting and I like them very much.

Kawachi Fuji Garden

Hii, long time no see since my blog have been hacked

Kawachi Fuji-en

Now I'll tell you all about one of the most wanted place that I want to visit. I actually have some, but now I'll only tell you one of them. This is an amazing plaacee

One of the most wanted place that I want to visit is Kawachi fuji garden. It is home to incredible 150 wisteria plants spanning 20 different species. The garden’s main attraction is the Wisteria tunnel that allows visitors to walk down an enchanting tunnel exploding with colour.

Kawachi fuji garden about 6 hours from Tokyo Japan. To get to the garden from JR Yahata station, we take Nishitetsu bus #56 and get off at Kawachi Elementary School. Then walk 10-15 minute to the garden. The GPS coordinates: 33°49’54.62″N 130°47’33.42″E. The best time to visit  is from late April to mid May, typically peaking at the end of April. The garden is private so there is an entry fee. The greater the bloom, the entry fee is more expensive.

Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing vines native to the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan. Wisteria vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counterclockwise round any available support. They can climb as high as 20 m above the ground and spread out 10 m laterally. The world’s largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size and weighing 250 tons, planted in 1894 of the Chinese lavender variety.

The leaves are alternate, 15 to 35 cm long, pinnate, with 9 to 19 leaflets. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes 10 to 80 cm long and are purple, violet, pink or white. Flowering is in the spring (just before or as the leaves open) in some Asian species, and in mid to late summer in the American species and W. japonica. The flowers of some species are fragrant, most notably Chinese Wisteria.

I hope one day I can visit this place. Have you ever visit this place?

Megantara

Megantara

SMAN 3 Bandung held a cultural festival every year. This year, the cultural festival was named "Megantara", with archipelago as the theme. Megantara held on Saturday, September 10, 2016.

Megantara's Poster

Megantara 2016 presented a variety of cultures such as Sundanese gamelan, rampak kendang, fashion show, wayang golek, and standard game from five major islands in Indonesia. To make this cultural festival did not seem boring, the committee invited RAN and The Changcuters as the guest stars. They also invited Karawitan SMK 10 Bandung, Rampak Kendang Darul Hikam, SMEs Bali Telkom, Community Jaipong kotemporer, Barudak studio Prihamdani, Orchestra Semi Dangdut ITB and Extracurricular SMAN 3 such as Lingkung Seni Sunda 3, KPA 3, Vocal Group 3, Classical Music 3, Tiloes Theatre, Band 3, and so on. This event aims to preserve the culture of Indonesia and invite young people today so as not ashamed to show their Indonesiaan. Megantara 2016 was attended by the Mayor of Bandung Mr. Ridwan Kamil. He was very enthusiastic about Indonesian culture.

Finally, the long-awaited day arrived. Saturday, September 10, 2016 all of the tenth grade students went to the Bali field at 7am use Sundanese traditional clothing, namely kebaya and pangsi. Some kids from pre-schools in Bandung also joined the parade. we and all parade participants started the parade from the bali field around 8 am. We walked around until the Bandung town hall, and back again to the bali field. The parade finished about 10 am.

Parade

After the parade, I and my friend returned to SMAN 3 to change clothes and waited for the gate opened. The committee said that the gate would be opened around  11.30 am. We entered the Bali field after the gate was opened. We can exchanged the ticket with fruit tea…yeayyy…Inside the field, the event was not started yet, so we just went around and sigh seeing. The weather on that day was hot enough. We saw an ice cream stand and we bought it immediately. That ice cream was soo delicious but the price was more expensive than usual.

Soon after that, the event began. in fact I did not really pay attention to the opening ceremony. I just kept going around, chatted with friends, also spent money for snacks. On the late afternoon, the show more attracted and field full of visitors. I also met some of my old friends.

When maghrib time, I and my friend decided to pray first, but the little mosque was full. Unfortunately, that time was time for T'ST (Theatre SMAN 3 Bandung)  to perform and we felt pity to miss it. After we prayed, we immediately headed towards the stage and tried to find a place as forward as possible. Fortunately T'ST still performed and we could watch their performance even if only briefly. 

At 7.00 pm, my mother called me and asked me what time I would go home. I didn’t have much time to answer my mother questions because my cell phone run out of battery. I borrowed my friend’s phone to communicate with my mom. My mom said that my father was on the way to pick me up for going home. I felt disappointed because I had to go home and I missed the peak event. The special guests on this event are The Changcuters and RAN, and I missed their performance. My friends told me that their performances looked incredible. I also missed its closure that so festive. I hope next year I can attend this kind of event until finish.

My Unforgettable Moment

Hello (again) everyone! Today I will tell you about my unforgettable moment

Unforgettable moment is a precious moment in someone's life, it could be good or bad. Everyone must be have at least one in their life, so do I. Well, I actually have some, but now I will only tell you one of them, the most precious one. (The full story could use up 14 pages on MS. Word). My unforgettable moment was on primary school.

Primary school is the most beautiful and precious moment in my life. During primary school, our mind was still fresh and got stressed so rarely. We can still play as much as we want, no worries, no overthinks. I really miss my childhood, especially at primary school. I had so much fun there.

I studied at SDIT Daarul Fikri, and graduated on 2013. That's a really good school! Back to the topic, my precious moment was on 5th grade. 2012. Best year ever! Well, let's begin the story.

It was a nice Saturday, when the 10-years-old-me was still so plain. 7 a.m., I finally finished to go to school for group task. I said goodbye to my parents, then I went to school by walk because my house is so close to school (about 200 meters). After a few minutes walking, I finally arrived at my school. then I went to 2nd floor, to my class. There were only 3 people in the class. Actually my class only has 14 students, 5 girls, and 9 boys.

After 30 minutes waiting, my friends finally come (only 9), and we started to work. but we had many accidents on working, so we decided to take a rest. Because we were too tired to finish the task, my friend suggested us to go to a place. He said it was a really beautiful place.
