Bambu Runcing Monument and Independence Day

Today, August 17, 2011, Indonesian people celebrate 66th Independence Day. Indonesia is a truly beautiful country in nature that we should be proud of. I realize that Indonesia is still far from prosperity; poverty still becomes our main enemy. Though there are also other problems blocking our way to prosperity and glory; we must keep struggling and moving forward! Happy Independence Day!

For Watery Wednesday, I share here the Monument of Bambu Runcing in Surabaya, the Heroes City (East Java Province, Indonesia). This monument built to commemorate the martially fight spirit of Surabaya people against the colonialist. In that time, they fought against the Dutch colonialist by only using tapered bamboos.

Bambu Runcing Monument consisted of 5 different-height pillars; formed to look like sharp-pointed bamboos. I captured it from inside a taxi, I can’t get the best angle.

5 Tips for Dealing with Temper Tantrums

If you have a child who is between the ages of one and four, chances are that you have had to deal with what is commonly termed a temper tantrum. Of course, no parent wants to see their child turn into a little monster very suddenly, and in some cases, tantrums can become worse and more violent if they are not addressed properly. Here are a few things to consider for keeping temper tantrums at bay.

1. Understand that temper tantrums are normal.
Many parents, especially first-time mothers and fathers, may be extremely alarmed at their children's outbreaks. The most important thing to remember when dealing with temper tantrums is that they will inevitably happen. Taking things in stride when your child throws a tantrum is the best first step in dealing with them.

2. Don't give in to your child's demands during the temper tantrum.
Many parents, in utter exasperation, will give their children what they are demanding so that the temper tantrum will stop immediately. However, the problem with this approach is that it will inadvertently serve to reinforce their behavior. Children will quickly realize that in order to get what they want, they should throw a tantrum, and they won't stop it until they get what they are after. As such, never offer your child his demands during a temper tantrum.

3. Suggest a different location and activity during a tantrum.
Sometime children can be distracted from their tantrum such that they forget what bothered them in the first place. So, one good "plan of attack" is to calmly approach the child and suggest going to a different room to do a completely different activity from the one that she is engaged in.

4. Reward positive behavior. One way to avoid temper tantrums altogether is to be sure to praise your child when she behaves well. This way, the child will know that if she does approach situations nicely and politely, she will get what she wants, while if she throws a fit, she simply won't get what she is after.

5. If your child is prone to tantrums keep scissors and other dangerous objects out of reach. Some children's temper tantrums are more violent than others, and the last thing that you want to happen is for you or your child to get hurt. As such, if you know when and where tantrums usually occur, control the environment by keeping dangerous objects out of reach.

Dinner at a Middle East themed Restaurant

Our weekend was just fine; we didn’t do special things, just spending times at home. But last Sunday, August 7th, we had special dinner at a special place. This restaurant has opened for about one year. We often pass it, since it’s not far from our home. We didn’t visit the restaurant before as we’re afraid that we can’t afford it.

But, that day, we’re encouraging ourselves to have dinner there. We’re so curious, as we’ve never eaten at a Middle East themed Restaurant before. Yep, it’s our first time! Entering the place, I was so impressed by the lovely interior design inside. I saw beautiful lights and lamps everywhere. It’s rather dark inside, that’s why those colorful lights appear prominently. Very romantic atmosphere!

Reading the menu, I wasn’t familiar with many food and drink’s names. I just know a few of Middle East food. Fortunately, there’s a short description on every food. My husband ordered Briani Rice and I ordered Gozi with rice. I don’t share the pics of food here. Both of them are made from goat meat. Both are delicious!

My husband and SIL

It turned out that the prices aren’t too expensive. For two main course and one dessert, we paid Rp 120,000,- (it’s about US $15-16). Arrived at home, my husband uploaded some of our photos at the restaurant to facebook. My SIL saw it and she’s very interested. So, in the next day, August 8th, three of us had dinner again at this restaurant. This time, she paid the bill, hehehe.

A Crowing Rooster

This handsome rooster captured on a grass field, at the back of my brother’s home. He belongs to a woman who helps my SIL doing the household jobs and caring of children while they’re working.

If you’re wondering why rooster crows, I share here a short explanation about it (source: wikianswers.com). Biologists have an assumption that birds sing or crow to let other birds identify where they are so they can space themselves far enough apart so they don't overcrowd each other. They are protecting their territories, and roosters are very caring of their hens. They often battle to the death with other roosters.

So, the rooster is crowing at the beginning of the day to clear out competitor males by crowing really loud and scaring them away. They do this in the daytime because they sleep at night and would not engage in battle in the dark as they are diurnal, active in the daylight. There's also another statement: a rooster has an internal clock that helps him anticipate sunrise.
