For Any Scholarship Seekers

If finding scholarship is merely a job then I would be a scholarship seekers.

It feels too long since I was graduated from my first degree and lately my postgraduate degree. However, before you enter the ‘question’ better you ask yourself first. Because sometimes we forget the reason why we pursue higher education.

[Notes] RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment

I attended RSPO outreach meeting last Friday on RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment. Just a quick review on the meeting, RSPO remediation and compensation has two different procedures and respectively must be treated differently although there is chance both occurred in the same location. The compensation liability depends on year establishment, certification status, and membership based (with special notes for RSPO member would be penalised more than not member if found non-compliances). There are 3 main points in the RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures that need to be highlighted from the 13 points stated in whole procedures:Continue reading “[Notes] RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment”

East Java: Baluran in View | Baluran Dalam Pandangan Mata

Here you go! Wildlife and more landscape pictures in Baluran National Park.

Keep maximised my X10 performance although without any telephoto lens. Honestly before go to Baluran, I want to rent DSLR camera and appropriate tele-lens but I changed my mind in the last minute (not worthed for $20 per-day and I only use it for only one day but have to pay it for 3 days :\).

Definitely need a camera with tele-lenses camera in the future. I chose X10 since I was working with bats before so I will need a very good macro-lens and documentation purposes. I also hate bulky camera. But as you know, there is good price for good camera. Thinking of buying Micro Four Thirds/Mirrorless Cameras but oh well *piping dream.

Hope you guys enjoy pictures! :)

Apa itu Green Tourism?

DSCF2173

Satu hal yang pastinya kita suka adalah jalan -jalan. Tapi apakah pernah berpikir apakah jalan-jalan yang penuh sukaria itu sebenarnya berkonsep ramah lingkungan atau tidak?

Dalam rangka Hari Lingkungan Hidup Internasional 2014, sebagai pejalan apa yang dapat kita lakukan sebagai pejalan yang bertanggungjawab secara lingkungan? Ulasan mengenai Green Tourism ini sebenarnya telah saya berikan sekitar 3 tahun lalu. Namun tentunya masih relevan dengan situasi masa kini.

East Java: Baluran NOT Africa Van Java | Baluran BUKAN Africa di Jawa

DSCF2284

Many people say Baluran National Park is an Africa van Java. I would say it’s wrong! Baluran is Baluran with its uniqueness.  This post starts a new chapter with my East Java adventure. Baluran National Park located near Banyuwangi Seaport and perfect place to visit just before crossing Bali. We can see the savanna and evergreen forest with a very cheap entry ticket (Rp 2,500,-). We found many wildlife still roaming free day-and-night especially the birds and mammals such as Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus), Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), Banteng (Bos Javanicus), Green Junglefowl (Gallus varius), Javan Lutung (Trachypithecus auratus),  Crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), and Asian leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).

Papua: Land of Betel Nut | Negeri Pinang

DSCF2087

Pinang fruit or Areca Nut which mainly said as Betel Nut is often chewed as wrapped in betel leaves/fruit and poured it with chalk. There is unique relationship between Papua people and Pinang as far I can see. I thought only elders Dayak people in Kalimantan chewed them a lot but here in Papua from young to elders they munching them all day! It seems very addictive like cigarettes! You almost can find people selling pinang in every street corner like two ladies above who I met on the way to Jayapura. For $1 or Rp 10,000,- you can have 10 pinangs, 5 betel fruits, and chalk as you like :DContinue reading “Papua: Land of Betel Nut | Negeri Pinang”
