A Prayer for a Mother's Birthday
 






 Lord Jesus, Thou hast known
A mother's love and tender care:
And Thou wilt hear, while for my own
Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer.

Protect her life, I pray,
Who gave the gift of life to me;
And may she know, from day to day,
The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.

As once upon her breast
Fearless and well content I lay,
So let her heart, on Thee at rest,
Feel fears depart and troubles fade away.

Her every wish fulfill;
And even if Thou must refuse
In anything, let Thy wise will
A comfort bring such as kind mothers use.

Ah, hold her by the hand,
As once her hand held mine;
And though she may not understand
Life's winding way, lead her in peace divine.

I cannot pay my debt
For all the love that she has given;
But Thou, love's Lord, wilt not forget
Her due reward,--bless her in earth and heaven.

by Henry Van Dyke

Celana Dalam Siapa ?????????

friends,this is a joke I copied from a website.Don't be offended if the name is the same with someone's.


Yanti baru saja pulang dari tugas luar kota. Sesampai di rumah, di dalam lemarinya, dia menemukan celana dalam perempuan yang bukan miliknya. Dengan berang dia bertanya kepada suaminya,
"Ini celana dalam siapa?"
"Mana aku tahu," jawab suaminya.
Tersinggung dengan jawaban suaminya, Yanti memanggil
Inem pembantunya untuk mencaritahu. "Nem, kamu pasti tahu ini celana siapa?" tanya Yanti.

"Nggak tahu Nyah. Saya nggak pernah pakai celana dalam, Tuan aja tahu."

[General Info] Pematang Siantar,Kota Tercinta




Kota Pematang Siantar
adalah salah satu
kota di Provinsi Sumatera Utara, dan kota terbesar kedua di provinsi tersebut setelah Medan. Pematang Siantar terletak pada kedudukan yang strategik dilintasi oleh Jalan Raya Lintas Sumatera. Luas kota ini ialah 79.97 km2 dan berpenduduk seramai 240,787 orang (2000).


Kota Pematang Siantar yang hanya berjarak 128 km dari Medan dan 52 km dari Parapat sering menjadi kota perlintasan bagi pelancong yang hendak ke Danau Toba. Sebagai kota pusat pelancongan di daerah sekitarnya, kota ini memiliki 8 hotel berbintang, 10 hotel melati dan 268 restoran. Di kota ini masih terdapat banyak sepeda motor BSA model lama sebagai becak bermesin yang menimbulkan bunyi yang keras.


Pematang Siantar walau berstatus kota, namun kini masih menjadi ibukota Kabupaten Simalungun. Pada tahun 2006, ibukota Kabupaten Simalungun direncanakan akan dipindahkan secara rasmi ke Pematangraya.


Naib Presiden Republik Indonesia yang ke-3 Adam Malik, lahir di kota ini pada 22 Julai 1917. Kota ini pernah menerima Piala Adipura pada tahun 1993 atas kebersihan dan kelestarian lingkungan kotanya. Sementara itu, kerana ketertiban pengaturan lalu lintasnya, kota ini juga meraih penghargaan Piala Wahana Tata Nugraha pada tahun 1996, namun sayang dengan perkembangan kota hingga tahun 2006, pengaturan izin trayek angkutan kota sepertinya tidak mempunyai konsep yang jelas sehingga keadaan lalulintas semrawut dan hal ini diperparah oleh sikap masyarakat yang cenderung tidak tertib lalulintas, sehingga melanggar lampu isyarat menjadi hal yang lazim di kota ini.


Sektor industri merupakan tunjang kepada ekonomi kota yang terletak di tengah-tengah Kabupaten Simalungun ini. Terdapat industri yang besar dan sederhana. Dari total kegiatan ekonomi pada tahun 2000 yang mencapai Rp 1,69 trilion, pangsa pasar industri mencapai 38.18 % atau Rp 646 milyar. Sektor perdagangan, hotel dan restoran berada pada urutan kedua, dengan sumbangan 22.77 % atau Rp 385 milyar.


Kota Pematang Siantar terdiri dari 6 kecamatan iaitu:



  1. Siantar Barat
  2. Siantar Marihat
  3. Siantar Martoba
  4. Siantar Selatan
  5. Siantar Timur
  6. Siantar Utara

Di kota Pematang Siantar terdapat Sekolah Tinggi Theologia HKBP, yang kampusnya terletak di No 6, Jln Sangnawaluh. Juga terdapat Universiti Sultan Agung. Terdapat juga sekolah-sekolah swasta besar seperti Methodist, Sultan Agung dan Kalam Kudus. Sekolah sekolah swasta tersebut telah menghasilkan murid-murid berprestasi yang bertanding di pentas sukan nasional dan juga PON.


***************************************


Pematang Siantar is a small town located 128 km southeast of Medan, in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia.


On the way, you will pass through many rubber, cocoa, palm, oil, tobacco and tea plantations. This is the richest part of North Sumatra, because these plantations produce the main export commodities.



Then onward to Lake Toba you will see a vast stretch of land covered with thick forests, plantations, terraced ricefields, lush vegetation, blue and green hills and mountains.


 It is also the second largest city in North Sumatra. Situated about 400m above the sea level, Pematang Siantar has a relatively cool climate compared to Medan.


The most developed part of the town is along the streets Jalan Merdeka and Jalan Sutomo.


Majority of the populations are Bataks while Javanese, Chinese and Indian form the minority.

Mau tau.. cemmana becak di Kampungku Pematang Siantar?
Becak di sana semuanya Peninggalan Perang Dunia II. Becak disana dulunya adalah kendaraan perang. Mereknya rata-rata BSA, Norton, BMW, dan Harley Davidson.

Karna itu.. banyak orang yang soor.. dan beli becanya. Karna jumlahnya makin berkurang, akhirnya PEMDA bikin peraturan, gak boleh dijual keluar wilayah Pematang Siantar. Baguslah.. Untuk Melestarikan.  ----- source

other article :


BAGI para penggemar otomotif antik, sepeda motor yang digunakan sebagai alat penggerak transportasi angkutan roda tiga (becak) di Kota Pematang Siantar, Sumatera Utara, bisa jadi "menggelitik" keinginan untuk mengoleksi. Sepeda motor BSA buatan Inggris, yang-menurut penduduk setempat-dijadikan alat berperang oleh tentara Inggris di Jawa pada Perang Dunia II, menjadi collector items yang menarik. Selain langka, rata-rata usia motor 60 tahun. Motor yang saat ini berjumlah sekitar 200 unit itu ada yang dibuat tahun 1941, 1948, 1952, dan yang lebih "gres" buatan tahun 1956.


Becak di Kota Pematang Siantar yang luas wilayahnya 79,97 kilometer persegi ini memang berbeda dengan becak di kota-kota lain. Berada pada ketinggian 400 meter di atas permukaan laut dengan permukaan tanah yang berbukit-bukit, menyebabkan jalan-jalan di kota ini menurun dan mendaki. Dengan kondisi seperti ini becak dayung sulit digunakan. Akhirnya kendaraan roda tiga itu dimodifikasi dengan "menempelkan" sepeda motor BSA di sisi kanan becak sebagai tenaga penggerak. Becak bermotor yang dijadikan alat transportasi sejak tahun 1960-an ini kemudian menjadi ciri khas dan daya tarik bagi wisatawan, meskipun saat ini berangsur-angsur tersingkir oleh mobil penumpang (mopen) yang beroperasi hingga larut malam.


Kota Pematang Siantar bukan hanya diingat karena keunikan becaknya. Di kota ini pada tanggal 22 Juli 1917 lahir wakil presiden ketiga di republik ini yang memiliki reputasi internasional, Adam Malik (almarhum). Dalam bidang pemerintahan, kota yang berumur 130 tahun pada tanggal 24 April 2001, pernah menerima Piala Adipura pada tahun 1993 atas kebersihan dan kelestarian lingkungan kotanya. Sementara itu, karena ketertiban pengaturan lalu lintasnya, kota ini pun meraih penghargaan Piala Wahana Tata Nugraha pada tahun 1996.


Berdasarkan hasil Sensus Penduduk 2000, Pematang Siantar berpenduduk 240.831 jiwa yang menjadikannya kota kedua terbesar setelah Medan, ibu kota Sumatera Utara. Penduduknya termasuk heterogen dengan 49,6 persen dari etnis Toba, 14,2 persen dari etnis Jawa dan 11,43 persen dari etnis Simalungun. Etnis lain kurang dari 10 persen masing-masing dari Melayu, Mandailing, Cina, Minang, Karo, dan lain-lain. Dari jumlah penduduk tersebut, terdapat angkatan kerja sekitar 85.000 jiwa dengan 86 persen yang bekerja.


Sektor industri yang menjadi tulang punggung perekonomian kota yang terletak di tengah-tengah Kabupaten Simalungun ini adalah industri besar dan sedang. Dari total kegiatan ekonomi di tahun 1999 yang mencapai Rp 1,5 trilyun, pangsa sektor industri mencapai 38 persen atau Rp 593 milyar. Sektor perdagangan, hotel, dan restoran menyusul di urutan kedua, dengan sumbangan 22 persen atau Rp 335 milyar. Dari ketiga kegiatan di sektor ini, subsektor perdagangan memberikan pemasukan sampai Rp 300 milyar.


Hasil industri andalan Kota Pematang Siantar adalah rokok putih filter dan nonfilter serta tepung tapioka. Pada tahun 2000, dengan tenaga kerja sebanyak 2.700 orang, NV Sumatra Tobacco Trading Company (STTC) *** this company is located in front of my parents' house!!! GUEDEEEEEEEEEE BANGET!!!! Kebetulan kamar Mei2 di lantai atas,bisa ngeliat jelas area STTC nya dari seberang ). produsen rokok yang berdiri sejak 1952, menghasilkan 11,06 milyar batang rokok putih filter dan 75 juta batang rokok putih nonfilter.


Dari seluruh hasil produksi rokok filter tersebut, 88,14 persen dijual ke luar negeri terutama ke Malaysia, negara-negara Timur Tengah dan Asia Timur, dengan nilai ekspor mencapai Rp 345 juta. Sisanya sebesar 11,86 persen rokok putih filter dan seluruh hasil produksi rokok putih nonfilter dijual di da-lam negeri dengan nilai penjualan mencapai Rp 83 milyar.


Sementara itu, Taiwan menjadi negara tujuan penjualan tepung tapioka yang diproduksi kota ini. Tahun lalu, volume ekspor tepung tapioka mencapai 3,8 ton dan tepung Modified Starch mencapai 2,7 ton. Keseluruhan nilai penjualan ekspor kedua jenis komoditas ini mencapai Rp 12,9 milyar.


Kota Pematang Siantar yang hanya berjarak 52 km dari Prapat sering menjadi kota perlintasan bagi wisatawan yang hendak ke Danau Toba. Sebagai kota penunjang pariwisata di daerah sekitarnya, kota ini memiliki dua hotel berbintang, 10 hotel melati, dan 268 restoran. Dari pajak hotel dan restoran selama tahun 2000 pemerintah memperoleh pemasukan sekitar Rp 435 juta.


Pematang Siantar yang tahun 1970-an mendapat julukan sebagai kota pelajar di Provinsi Sumatera Utara, sampai saat ini masih dihadapkan pada permasalahan pemenuhan kebutuhan air bersih dan tambahan sambungan telepon. PDAM Tirta Uli yang melayani kebutuhan air bersih masyarakat kota ini, hanya mampu melayani 41.000 pelanggan dari 50.000 pelanggan potensial yang ada. Sementara itu untuk telekomunikasi, saluran telepon dari Sentral Pmsc (Pematang Siantar Cen-trum) yang berjumlah 14.642 SST dan Sentral Pmsr (Pematang Siantar Rambung Merah) yang berjumlah 2.672 SST masih dirasakan kurang.


Jika Pemerintah Kota Pematang Siantar dapat memenuhi kebutuhan akan sarana air bersih dan sarana telekomunikasi, maka sarana pendukung pariwisata seperti hotel dapat lebih berkembang. Dengan demikian Pematang Siantar diharapkan bisa meningkatkan dirinya dari kota perlintasan wisatawan menjadi kota persinggahan wisatawan.

I Will Follow Him ^__^ ( Ronnie's Annoyed )




We watched movie Sister Act this evening.I love the theme song I Will Follow Him.

As the same thing,I follow Ronnie wherever he goes. I recorded the theme song and him.He put his finger on his mouth ( one finger ).hahahahaha.He said later,"You are annoying,baby." Hahahhahah.Blm tau dia,bininya paparazzi gethooooo.

When I was recording,he pushed my butt to the front.Hahahhahah. Mengganggu aja nih org :P

My next victims are Putty n Lucky. Hihihihih.

I will follow him..... follow him wherever he may gooooo..sya la la la la....
Hahhahahahahahhaa


" We Time " : Napping,Massaging,Teasing ^____^




Full... Full... Full... that's what Mom said after we came back from Red Lobster.

Ronnie said," I am a happy camper.Now time to take a nap." Hihihihihi.
He went to the living room.I turned on tv and watched TBS : Sister Act.

When the movie was over,he changed to other channel.He laid down on the couch and I sat down on his laps. ^____^

I pulled his hand and put on my head.He was starting massaging my forehead,nose,cheek and mouth!!! Hahahahahhaha. Ihhhh apaan sehhhh???

But,I did enjoy it!!!!

I knew he did it cos he didn't want me to disturb him. hahahahha *habisssss,bininya gak bisa diam,goyang sana sini mulu sih,terganggu nonton tv *

Then,he moved to another couch.Suddenly....zzzzzz.z.z.z.z.z.z..z.z.z.Instead of him watching the piano lesson,I did it. Bahhh.. apa pula ini. :D
He woke up and said, " Ups... I missed it.Where am I ? " Hehehehehehehhe.

I tried to take a pic,he tried to grab it and said,"Baby,no more pic,pls."hehehehehheheh. Ups...too lateeee.... :P

One thing he always says to me," This is our we time.I want the moment just only recorded in our minds, not in the camera." Mantap,blehhh...But,sorry.... for me, every moment is precious :P

Biar bisa diceritain ke anak cucu ntar.


Family Lunch @ Red Lobster ( Again??? )




Ronnie and I went to the Restaurant Equipment Store this noon.Before leaving,Ronnie reminded Mom to get ready to have lunch together around 2.30pm.

I called Mom around 2.30pm and said we'd be a lil bit late.Around 2.47pm,we picked Mom.

Ronnie was heading to Red Lobster.Mom was so excited.Ronnie asked her to have anything she wanted.It's our present for her bday,still. ^__^

As usual, I have Ultimate Feast.Ronnie has steak and Mom has scampy shrimp and scallops.


We're way too full.Mom said,"I can't walk, I am way too full."hahahahhahahaha.

Dicubit Hantu ??? ( Pinched by a Ghost? )

Yes... Dicubit hantu??? Gak ahhhhhhhh...


I have a black and blue spot on my right tigh.I realized that when I woke up a week ago and I saw it there.

Ronnie was surprised and said," Gee,baby??What's wrong with your tigh?"

I said," Hm... I dunno.Maybe it's pinched by a ghost."hahahahahahha

 

I know he don't believe it, I don't either.But,flashback when I was a kid, we always hear that words.


I said to Ronnie," I might have hit a table accidentally and it gives me a mark.

 

Ronnie  touched it,but it really hurt.He said,"Baby,,, I just barely touched it." Iyalah... dikit aja disentuh udh sakit.

 

Oh well...hopefully it will be gone soon.We usually rub it with Minyak Tawon . Hey!!! I got a bottle from Sera!!! I'll rub it later.

Happy Bday,Mom!!!!




Mom and I went shopping yesterday noon for her bday.She had her hair cut at BoRics meanwhile I went to Kroger ( bought stuff to cook for dinner n bday card for Mom ).

Continued to Northgate Mall.She was looking for panties,towels and jeans.She said Ronnie helped her so much doing the driveway,so she’d like to give Ronnie something.Well…she bought Ronnie a pair of jeans and jacket.

I saw some clearance clothes and I liked a white jacket.Mom took it and paid it for me.^___^

We went to JC Penney,and tried some purses.We did have fun yesterday.Mom kept asking,”Where’s the mirror,Mei?” hahahhaha.She tried 4 purses and asked,”Should I buy purse and wallet?” I said,”If you need them.” Then,she decided not to .

We went to the rd floor to buy some towels at JC Penney.Then,when we went downstairs on escalator she said,’A hat!! A hat!!! Turn your head to the left.I saw a hat.” She pointed it down there.

We saw a beautiful dark blue cowgirl hat.She said,”Where is the mirror,Mei2?” Hahahhahahaa. Mom is realllyyyy fussy!!!!!

She tried it on and she said,’How abt that????I like this one.I wanna buy it.”She put it on her head meanwhile we tried some belts.Again,”Where is the mirror,Mei2?”Hihihihihihi.
Mom is sooo funny.

She didn’t find the right belt for her.I tried a fancy one.She said,”Your bday will be coming soon.This belt would be the perfect gift for you.”

I took the hat and then paid for her.That’s our bday present for Mom.^__^

Then…..since we thought we didn’t need anything else,we went to Pony Keg.I picked the booze and dropped them to the bar.

We went home around 4pm.I had Mom sit down and relax,enjoy the evening meanwhile I cooked.

We were out of carrots.She went to Kroger to buy some.She still had the hat on.Hahhahahahaha.


When Ronnie came,the food was ready. I cooked Chow Mien with Mixed Veggies meanwhile I cooked Stir Fried Beef and Rice for Ronnie.

Alas…Ronnie didn’t eat the beef.I forgot he don’t like pepper.He said,”The taste of pepper spread to all the beef,hun.I can’t eat it.’ Duh…. Lupa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed,it tasted sooo good.Finally me and Mom ate it.Hehehehhehe. It’s fine, next time I’ll remember not to put pepper in there.

Dinner was followed by cutting the cake.Mom baked it in the morning,meanwhile she had me decorate it. I bought strawberry early in the afternoon.

So…. We had Strawberry cake this time.( Ronnie don’t like it!!!0 Goodness..my husband is soooo weird.He only likes chocolate cake, simple chocolate cake, no frosting. Payahhhhh

But,anyway,Happy Bday ,Mom!!! We love you!!!!

Spending Time with Mom & Ronnie ( Shopping Again )




Mom asked me to go to the library this noon.I was fined,and so was she.Hehehehehhehe.I borrowed some dvds,but I've never watched them.And guess what? I am so lazy to return them to the library.Mom borrowed some audio cassettes.

We continued going to Walgreens.She picked up her persciptions and I bought some stuff.

Since the Beauty Care is not far from Walgreens,I asked her to go there.I bought some earrings and we tried some wigs. OMG!!!! We did have fun!!! Mom and I tried some and we exchange. I said to Mom," Gee, Mom.I should've brought the cam." She said," NOOO!!!! YOU WILL NOT!!! DON'T DO THAT". HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA.She's so embarassed!!!!

She said,"How can people stand wear wig?It's really hot." She's rite.I don't get the answer.But,I have one wig that I've never used it.Ronnie don't like it at all. It's very short.Hahahhahahaha. I remembered when I and Mom went to Flea Market and I bought a wig.I wore it and Ronnie came down from upstairs and said,"HOLY MOLLY!!! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR HAIR,BABE???????? GOODNESS,MEI2!!!! SINCE WHEN YOU BE AN AMERICAN GIRL???? " hahahahahahhahaha.

I tried not to laugh.Me and Mom created a scenario.Mom said," She looks cute,Ronnie!!!"

Ronnie said," NO!!!!!!! SHE DON'T!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?????WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING,GIRL???" HAHAHAHHAHAHAA.

I said," OK... I WILL GO BACK TO THE SALOON AND ASK THEM TO GIVE MY HAIR BACK, LIKE THIS... ' I pulled the wig and he was double shocked!!!

Hahahhahahahhahaaha. Aduhh untung gak jantungan dia.

When he saw I bought some stuff,he didn't like it.He said," I wanna spank ya,girl." :P Sembarangannnnnnn.. I said," ohh.. I love it.Pls do." :D

He thanked me for buying him new razor.I asked him to take home back the dvd player from the bar,so we could watch movies at home.


Got Package from Jenny ( LAPIS LEGIT & LAPIS SURABAYA )!!!


This morning Mom told me that we had some mails.She knows well that I loveeeeeeeee checking mail box.


I went out and saw a big package on the floor. WOW!!!!! That's a package from Jenny Turnham . I am soooo excited.


I showed Mom the package.She said,"Wow, Mei2.You always got a package!!!" .We opened it and  tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... I got Lapis Legit,Lapis Surabaya,Rose Soap n a pack of snack!!!!


Thnks a lot, Jenny!!!! I told Mom to bake a cake for her b'day tomorrow.I kept all the stuff and we went to library and stores this noon.


Mom said she would like to wait to bake the cake,cos she don't have the rite baking pan for the cakes.


So, I think I gotta ask Jenny abt the pans she has.Alas, I left my cellphone in the car ( Ronnie called me this noon and told me abt that ).



Jen,when you read it,let me know what kind of pans you use.


I'll write down the check tomorrow for you.


Thank you. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

Steve's Bday @ Frickers - Sat 9th 2006




While Ronnie was still busy with the driveway,me and Mom went to Fricker's.Ronnie said he would come later.He'd like to have chicken wings to go.He knew that he wouldn't have much time to sit down and chit chat there.

So,me and Mom went to the party around 6 pm.I ordered some chicken wings to go.Around 6.45pm Ronnie showed up.He sat down for awhile and congrated Steve.Soon,he left with chicken wings. He said I could stay there longer and come to the bar later.

Agh..I met our 2 customers in Fricker's.We chit chat for awhile before I continued eating.

Mom dropped me to the bar and then she went back to Fricker's.I hope she enjoyed the rest of the nite ( which was she did,she said ).

Kerja Bakti : Doing The Driveway




Gayanya... ^___^ I didn't do anything.I just watched Ronnie doing the driveway.Last year we had done it.Ronnie was helped by Steve.This year,he worked by himself ( lagi moody soalnya ) ^__^

He spent all day long doing the driveway.I offered to help him,he didn't want.So, I just stayed next to him.Yg penting,ikutan partisipasi,bow,biar juga duduk2 doank.

Mom has some pop cycle.Mom gave to the kids and me.So..we had Pop Cycle!!!!


Before picking Lucky,we went to Flea Market.Mom said she saw a drum there when she took Lucky to the Groomer.Then,she decided to buy it.But,alas...somebody had bought it.She's disappointed.

After that,Mom picked Lucky from the Groomer.He's so excited to meet see us again.

Ronnie was almost done when we arrived.He's really tired.Poor baby.
I teased him ,pointed his shirt.Then,he touched his shirt..aarrrghhhhhhh.. he messed it up.The black dot appeared there .Duhhh...Mei2 kurang kerjaan. Hehehehehhe

Ronnie said,"See?? I didn't realize my hands are dirty." Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.That's one of my fave shirts for him.

Oh well, I think I can wash it clean tomorrow.
