Uncle Scrooge McDuck, si Paman Gober

I just read my 'Uncle Scrooge' comic, and feel like I was a child. Years ago, read the comic, and very fascinate to read on the Uncle Scrooge adventures and his funny-miserliness. Uncle Scrooge and the Duckburg (Kota Bebek) was created by Carl Barks. But many of Uncle Scrooge stories is developed by Don Rosa (Gioachino "Keno" Don Hugo Rosa). Even he made 12 comic books about Uncle Scrooge past time, there're the titles:

1. The Last of the Clan McDuck
2. The Master of the Mississippi
3. The Buckaroo of the Badlands
4. Raider of the Cooper Hill
5. The New Laird of Castle McDuck
6. The Terror of the Transvaal
7. Dreamtime Duck of the Never-Never
8. King of Klondike
9. The Billionaire of Dismal Down
10. The Invader of Fort Duckburg
11. The Empire-Builder from Calisota
12. The Richest Duck in the World.

And just last year, those are printed in Indonesia. Thanks for Kompas Gramedia Publisher :)  When it published in Indonesian version, I just read the stories in the bookstores. LOL!! Perhaps I'll collect the comics and buy it later. His adventures are magnificent!! And truly inspiring! You can see how Uncle Scrooge become a scrooge duck (maybe not only because of his name hihihi) because of his history, cleverness, and hardworking. Also there is a repetition story about how Uncle Scrooge got his lucky coin/the number one dime (I had read it in my Donald Duck weekly magazine when I was child). Do you know how?? Hohoho. It's very pathetic for Magica De Spell (Mimi Hitam). Btw I just find out a link about Uncle Scrooge romance, you can read it here. Uncle Scrooge has a lot of lovers.

Also, there is a comic strip pictures from here that shows Uncle Scrooge had already came to Java Island, Indonesia in his youth. I copied it here. Enjoy hohoho.

here the comic strip is ended. LOL!! don't you curious want to know more??
Hohoho. By the way, in Indonesia, Uncle Scrooge is translated as 'Paman Gober'. I also look more information about Uncle Scrooge in Google and find some interesting facts. Such as, Uncle Scrooge's names in the world:

Best Photography Spots in Singapore

I just read a link here, and find an interesting article. It's about some nice shots in Singapore, after the Merlion and Mr. Raffles Statue. Perhaps I'll try some shots there in my next trip to Singapore.  Those shots are suggested by Singaporean photographer, Lester V Ledesma (Sky Light Images), Mark Teo (Mark Teo) and Benny Hoh (Benny Hoh Photography).

Here are the best 9 nice shots:

Photography spots 1: rural Singapore
Kampong Buangkok (MRT: Buangkok or Hougang, then take a taxi to Lorong Buangkok, along Gerald Drive)

Dubbed ‘Singapore’s last kampong’, you won’t find this traditional village on a local map. Dotted along a network of dirt roads, wooden houses with zinc roofs shelter residents desperate to hold on to a more relaxed way of life. Chickens scratch in the muddy shade of rambutan, jackfruit and banana trees. But the clock is ticking for this vestige of living history as developers turn their eyes to this valuable slice of Singapore.

Punggol (MRT: Punggol, then taxi or bus 82 to the end of Punggol Road)

A haven for landscape photo fans. When you’re standing on Punggol beach, you’re actually closer to Johor, Malaysia than Singapore’s CBD – and you feel a world away. With its L-shaped jetty and mosscovered rocks that peep out from the blanket of sand at low tide, this undeveloped shore is one of the few places where you can see fishermen casting nets and setting crab cages. As an extra bonus, just minutes off Punggol’s main road, you’ll find wide-open fields full of swaying, feathery Lalang grass with just an occasional wide-canopied tree to break your line of vision. A rare chance to take a landscape shot without a high-rise looming into view.

Kranji Farms (MRT: Kranji, then Kranji Express)

Hop on the Kranji Express bus and explore some of northern Singapore’s rural industries. You’ll find 6,000 croaking bullfrogs at Jurong Frog Farm (Tel: 6791 7229; website), goat-milking at Hay Dairies (Tel: 6792 0931; website), and fruit swelling on trees at Fire Flies organic farm (Tel: 6793 7875; website). If you have time, stop at the Kranji Dam for marshland views.

Photography spots 2: streets of Singapore
Chinatown (MRT: Chinatown)

Look past the ‘doll’s house’ renovations of the major tourist streets and you’ll find signs of old-style Singapore – a Taoist godstatue maker at work in Mohamed Ali Lane, barbers sharpening razors in side alleys near Thian Hock Keng Temple, and seniors playing checkers or comparing songbirds next to Sago Lane.

There're some pictures I shot:

Beautiful candles

Table rows

Sunset

Little India (MRT: Little India)

Classic street-life scenes can be captured any day of the week in this lively part of town, but Sunday is when the area really pulses with activity. Head for Buffalo Road and Campbell Lane, where bright rows of jasmine garlands hang next to piles of heady spices and clay oil lamps.

There're the pictures I shot:

Mom and Son

The Blue

Forgive the flag

Esplanade Basement (MRT: City Hall)

On Friday nights, take the underpass from Esplanade to CityLink Mall – this is where you’ll find a group of B-boys and six-gear cyclists performing tricks. Just ask to see their favourite stunts and they’ll usually be happy to be photographed in action. The lighting is quite low so use your flash and ISO 800-1600.

Photography spots 3: wild Singapore
MacRitchie Reservoir Park ( Bus: 52, 74, 93, 157, 165, 852 or 980. Alight at Lornie Road)

Six-foot monitor lizards, flying lemurs, and troupes of cheeky monkeys call this vast swathe of rainforest home. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a rare shot of the Malayan pangolin (scaly anteater) or a banded leaf monkey. Try shooting on an overcast day – the clouds soften bright beams of light that cause contrast confusion for your camera.

Sungei Buloh Wetlands (MRT: Kranji, then bus 925 or Kranji Express)

A jewel in Singapore’s ecological treasure trove. Phenomenal foliage and thousands of migratory birds make this a photographic eden. The mangroves are also teeming with mudskippers and climbing crabs.

West Coast Park Beach (Bus 176 stops directly in front of the park. Buses 30, 51, and 143 stop at Clementi Woods Park, a 5-minute walk away.)

A great location for a coastal sunset shot. Boats embedded in the sand provide a solid foreground against fiery skies. For those with a taste for industrial Singapore, shipyard cranes in the distance make a striking silhouette.

Hihihihihi maybe the photography spots 3 will be pretty exhausted for me. Just wait and see. Hopefully I'm able to come to those spots.

5. Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City

I also have another dream to come to other Asia region, such as :

Boost My Mood

One way to boost my mood, definitely, is listening to the music. Makes your nerves calm and can see a brighter future of yourself. Like tonight, I re-listening again, The Best Collection of Lionel Richie, unfortunately the pirated ones. One by one, the song is perfect. I'm enjoying the songs a lot. Until, the one most perfect melody, "Easy". Gosh!! really relaxing, really makes your nerves calm, and makes me more optimistic. LOVE IT.

Thank you for The Commodores and Lionel Richie. Adore you a lottt. Love youuu. Here is the link.
Hopefully you can enjoy the song, just like me.

Lose My Heart

Recently, I has some problems. It breaks my heart, where I have no one to trust.
I am already in the top of my patience limit. It's enough!! Enough is enough. But from that time, because of my disappointed, I can feel there's something wrong with me mentally.

I can't feel. I lose my heart. I can feel that I become a cruel person, with no mercy, can't believe on anybody. I'm become more cynical right now. I think that's worse than being a sarcastic person (that's what I was before). I'm become apathy, close my eyes, my ears, and my heart for other. Also don't want to be bothered with other problems.

I can feel it's not right. But at this time I can't help it. My hurt is killing. I need to heal, and I think maybe my apathy is the healing.  Even I can't drop tears right now. I'm losing my heart.

Bullying

I was a bullying victim when I was in elementary school. The story began when I moved to other city, from Jakarta Selatan to Jakarta Timur area. I moved to a public school in 3rd grade. Even in my first day, I was bullied there. Mostly it was the boys who bullied me. In my first day there, they were hiding my ruler. I didn't like it. I was asking everybody where my ruler was but they were pretending didn't know. Even the girls also.
I mad at them and began crying. The worst thing was, my teacher didn't realize their bullying instead punished me to stand up in front of the class for crying.

From my first day at school, I hate them. I prevented myself then, to argue to the boys even fighting for them, if they were bullying me again. Unfortunately, the bullying didn't stop, it still happened until I was in Junior School. Seemed every boys in that public school where my primary school friends were there also, kept bullying me.
Still I was fighting alone for my own peace!! Nobody can help me. I really hate them. And until now, I hate those village people and village minded there!!! Kampungan!!! I remembered, I didn't have many friends. But still had a few good friends. I hated the boys, I hated the girls who tried to be "GAOL"!! And you know what happened to them right now, mostly that "GAOL" married already because of their pregnancy.

I decided to moved out from that village area school. I wanted to continue my High School really far away where my elementary school and junior high school friends couldn't be there. So, I decided to entered a good High School, in Cibubur area. Thanks God, I was entering my High School alone, without anybody from my elementary and junior high school students. And yeahh, I got my freedommm. That was the best years I ever had, where I could be myself, without anyone bullied at me. I met some good friends, seemed everybody in high school was my friends HAHAHA. Truly deeply from my heart I was grateful for God opening up my eyes, made me saw the opportunity to continue high school there :D

I love my friends there, I enjoyed school there, I had a great teenage time, life freely as me, Love them all.
Goodbye to my elementary school friends, at this time I still couldn't forgive you. But who knows what will be happened in the future. Maybe someday I can forgive and be friends with you in the future. But at this time, still I had the pain left in my heart. So, for these and more years I will not attend the elementary school reunion. Okay?
