Daydream



We take this picture by ourself :D we xdon't copy from Google :P
I was touched by the wide expanse of the borderless sky
You can see the gentle smile in my face, towards the gentle sea
If I could, I want to stretch my arms to grasp this sky
Maybe this is something that can't be erased, but it can’t stay just the way it is
But when I was able to stretch my hands out,
What was left was a bad day dream.
When I came to my consciousness, what lies in front of me was not the sky
It was a tragedy world
The next stage of humanity was a tragedy
The sound stops the blowing wind
I can no longer feel the gentle breeze of the night
I can no longer smile , not in this bad dream
The moon in the night sky waxes and wanes
There are no stars in sight.
But even in the darkness, this is a wish I’d like to share with you.
Even though in this false and fallen wonderland
It was still our glorious and precious world
This barren soil will be transformed a beautiful greenland
This barren wasteland would morphed into the borderless sea
This blood sky will shift into the glittering blue night sky
Are you leaving now? But it's fine, since you've decided
I will try my best to shape this world into a beautiful world
During the times when there are problems
We need to face them alone
But even during those times, wherever you are
I hope this faith of mine will resonate strongly
Its  not a wish to just forget about the painful past
Its a wish that confronts the sadness
Even though there are stars in sight, their lights are still there, shining in the darkness
But even in the darkness, a ray of light will shone on tomorrow to shines brightly
And this is a wish I share with you.
I hope this wish will be able to reach everyone’s heart ,
A wish that will help Mother Gaea and everyone’s in her protection
Not as a regret, I want this wish to be a way of prevention
A prevention of things that will cause a great remorse in everyone’s heart
before the land turned into badlands, we shall end this cycle.
The world ends with you, and the new world begins with us.
Before becoming the world of tragedy, we shall make this place our place of hope

The Panda symbol came from Chi Chi , a Panda from Beijing Zoo which was transfered to London Zoo around the establishment of WWF itself, and also because pandas were one of the endangered species, hence they used as a symbol/mascot.

Their mission is to stop degradation of our planet natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

How Ordinary People Can Help the Environment?

The citizens of Central Kalimantan (ordinary people) can help the environment:
  • Throwing rubbish in the rubbish bin, if you throw it in the river it will cause flood.
  • Do not burn the forest so the forest will grow bigger and it will produce more oxygen and when you burn the forest the smoke from the burning activities will make a kind of sickness.
  • Do not do illegal logging because trees can help the environment when flood come. Plant some kind of plan to make your house greener and to make the air is fresh.
  • Do not burn things like plastic because it cannot be damage and the smoke from the plastic burning is not good for the air and our own health.
           :D These are some things that can help us to help the environment :)

The most things that I love in Central Kalimantan are the water fall. It is one of the best views that we can see in Central Kalimantan. There are 8 diffent kind of water fall in Central Kalimantan. They are Batu Mahasur Water Fall in Gunung Mas, Bawi Kameloh Water Fall in Gunung Mas, Bambun Water Fall in Murung Raya, Dirung Duhung Water Fall, Laas Water Fall in Murung Raya, Palei Kodan Water Fall in Lamandau, Sukam Water Fall in Lamandau and the last is Tosah Water Fall.
