Rest in Peace, Mr. Suharto
After years, months, and weeks of fighting yesterday my former 32-years-then-ruling President, Suharto, gave up to Death. He couldn’t take in another breath anymore. His time has come.

Are You Color Blind?
Are You Color Blind?
Do you know that it is possible to be partially color blind? It means that your vision is impaired with specific color. Have you ever tested yourself whether you fall in this group? I did my test when I was in my last year of High School. My Biology teacher tested me. [...]

It also was colonised by the Japanese for 3.5 years
And Soeharto was the President for 35 years !
Do you see the link there? Mmmm interesting!
Coincidence? Mmm [...]
