Purim-Jewish Holiday

2009-03-09T16:45:00.000-07:00

the segitiga things is hamentashen kue khas jews

today was Purim- pronounce Perum.. heheh
well ini smacem Jewish holiday Jewish thu Yahudi , berhubung family ku Jewish, so ak ngrayain juga , Purim tu kayak Haloween nya amerika. ank2 pada dressed up! well literally, ini ngerayain Bangsa Yahudi bebas dari disaster, pembunuhan anak2 yang baru lahir itu lhoo.. lah ceritanya panjang, ada di Kitab perjanjian lama. ^^
anyway.. mereka ajak aku ke"temple" kalo Katolik "church"
bener2 seru, ank2 pada pake baju macem2, kayak haloween kedua! orng2 pada pake baju ehehe..
i really happy to be here, because i totaly learn new thing! which is:

1st) I be able to listen Hebrew- jewish language! bahasa lain. host sister ku Michelle, dia baca kitab perjanjian lama dalam Hebrew., keren dah! kitabnya kayak roll gt, gede pula. Bedanya Jewish ama katolik thu cuma bible nya aja, Jewish gunain kitab perjanjian lama doank.

2nd) there is interesting things about this Holiday. kalau pembaca kitab sebutin naman Haman, anak2 pada bikin noisy voice.. like "huuuu......" atau bikin noise dari mainan. mainannya juga udah disediain dari temple nya.. ahhahah.. lucu2 wae ya...
mainannya thu bener2 ribut deh,
jadinya kalo si pembaca ngmng Haman (which is bad guy in the bible) the people starting so noisyyy!! OMG.....

3rd) Hamentashen
no hamentashen no purim, this is yang paling penting dari Purim. makanan kas gitu deh, kayak roti berbentuk segitiga. hehe... Host sisterku bikin ini ama temen2 nya ama aku juga 2x... so so lah rasanya.. ^^

Silly Story in the Morning

2009-03-04T16:24:00.000-08:00

heyy, hari ini aku ada ceritaa seruu and silly abis ! wekekekkekeke...
today , kan gara2 ada test kls 1 0 , jadi kelas laen thu masuk jam 10.30
jadi nda usah bangun pagi , aku bangun siang ak bangun jm 8an, trus sarapan, trus aku disuru jalan in anjing ke luar bentar di rumah nda ada orng sma skali , cma aku ma anjinge. (Toby)
trussss ak kluar jln in anjing msi pke piama, soalnya aku pikir cma taruh anjing di luar nggak ada 2 menit, and then dissaster comming... aghhh.... nda sadar tryta aku kekunci dari luarr!! OMGGGGG..........................
this kind of weird pintu.. aku nda kebiasa juga ama pintu kaya gitu. aku da luar mbe anjing e tanpa kunci, tanpa hape, nda tahu telpon e sapa2 , (maklum my bad, aku tegantung sama hape,) nda ada yang bs tak telpon, nda ada hape, baju tipis, mbe jaket tipis, snow dingin banget, en tebel banget ,jadi aku da garasi , merenung dan menunggu ide keluar,
lalu ak keluar garasi, aku nda tahu siapa2 di sekeliling rumah, tetangga nya thu kayak nda ada orng da rumah, apalagi jm 9 an, orng biasa pada kerja, aku pikir mrk pada nda dirumah
the suddenly, aku ketemu car lewat, which is tetangga aku, so i just stop the car and ask some help.
try to get my host mom phone, and everybody who i can talk to, but, it cannot help, the man who i asked some help just have my host father phone, dan impossible banget, soalnya host dad ku da Alaska!! walakakka...
in the end, dia punya ide ngebel police man, cari cara aku supaya bisa masuk ke rumah. aku ngga mungkin tinggal di garasi selama 5 jam! NO WAY...
so dia ngebel policeman, dan meninggalkan aku soalnya dia harus kerja, aku suruh tungu di garasi 5 mnit sblm polisi dtng..

then....... eeeeee malah seng kluar fire department! OMG..
huge car! bener2 fire department no kidding!! rame dah, dah gitu da 7 orng di fire department.. then datang;lah pula 2 car police car. mereka cari cara untuk aku bisa masuk ke rumah, cari celah gt.
actually i get benefit of it.. the crew in fire department orng nya ganteng2 en muda2 lho.. hahhaha!!! cuci mataa....
alah....
and mereka pinjemi aku jaket e lagi... ahahhaa.... soale im freezing...
well, wht end up happened is, mereka nda bisa dobrak pintu tanpa ijin dari host mom/dad ku, trus mereka ngebel host dad ku yang ada di ALASKA.. this is the funny part..
so silly, they are laughing, winter in alaska... LMAOO...

well, so my host dad have an idea, said that the police have to go Westhill to take the key to my host sister which is have test tht time... , and thats all.. so the story is end..
my silly experience....

and my host mom said, there is a kunci cadangan di garasi, which she never tell me about it. she felt guilty ....

Off day school - cause of snow!

2009-01-19T11:45:00.000-08:00

today was so wonderfull, know why?
cause in here at Winter season, East side, we usually have a lot of snow, and this is my first experience have school days off because of the snow! haha.. nice huh!
the snow usually dangerous, the school bus can't go back and fort to take the student, and it might be take a risk to drive in the snow, because so slippery.
we usually have half day, or delay 2 hour in the morning if the snow come night before, so the "snow plaw" the things for put it away the snow at the street can work in the moring. and make the street clear!
thats why we have delay to school.
but now is different we have a off day! because the big snow storm wasnt stop in the moring, and its still last until noon, so the entire city and all school were closed!
lucky us!

Letter

dear America,
Today November 4th United State of America made a new history, our country will be change. Barack Obama, won United States for the election 4th November 2008 , which he is be the first African-American president of United States.

U might be born and see our first president was an African-American, this time was such a amazing moment in the world, the world gonna change we gonna have a peace. In your time, u might be have a universal health care where every person can get it, maybe how every America will have a right to good health care.
