At 12 of May 2008 the class had a field trip to the waterfall. I was sick that day but they say it was awesome and the water is very cold. The worst thingthey said was that they to go threw this long path and full of rocks, but it was worthit when they saw the beauty of the waterfall. Anyway, I'm gonna share to you some of my experience at Bali.

Bali is a beautyful place to have a holliday don you think? At Bali I visited many beautifull places like the totaly awesome Kutai Beach, kowabanga dudes and dudeds! Next I visited this place with many monkeys I forgot the name but it was cool! Before I went home from the place with the monkeys I saw this big monkey holding a brand new handy cam it was stolen from this Japan or China person.

And at the last day I slept at a 5 star hotel. It was a so cool the swiming pool is so big the is great and they have a complete give shop with every thing you need. They have a hot tub in your bathroom and let me tell you, It feels good after playing jet ski in the beach!!!

And that is all for now, talk to you next time.

There is people asking for donations because the heavy rain caused rivers near Pondok Gede to burst, covering much of the city with stinking black water. The floods were the worst to hit Indonesia for many years. Telephone and electricity lines were cut and several roads were left underwater. Up to 100 people died in the disaster and around 300,000 have been left homeless.

Speaking of my blog I also had a post about Haiku poems. I wrote a Haiku about my favorite food, my cranium (skull) and nature. I had to be a thinker to make a Haiku poem and counting the syllables. There is one Haiku that I like called God's love.

Beatrix Potter

Is your imagination as amazing as Beatrix Potter? Can you talk to your drawings? Beatrix Potter does but, do you? Here’s some information about Beatrix Potter!

Her drawings were so amazing that she could talk to them. She started drawing when she was little. The story that she made up started to become real for her. She drew and drew everyday until she made a book about her made up story. She wanted to publish her book but this time using colors.

After she had published her books, she started a party to celebrate. In the first it was a little bit hard. But in the end it turned out ok. Her mum still didn’t like her drawing all the time.

In the end she got married with William Hillies. Her first crush pasted away. Her mum didn’t like her first crush Mr. Warne. So there you have it the story of Beatrix Potter.

Nobel Peace Laureate, Muslim and human rights activist Dr Shirin Ebadi has spoken out against undemocratic Islamic countries justifying "oppressive acts" in the name of Islam. Speaking at the Earth Dialogues 2006 conference in Brisbane, Dr Ebadi said her native Iran as well as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen "among others" were guilty of human rights violations. "In these countries, Islamic rulers want to solve 21st century issues with laws belonging to 14 centuries ago," she said. "Their views of human rights are exactly the same as it was 1400 years ago."
