Tidung Island



Tidung Island, a fascinating island in the north of Jakarta mainland, is a village of Kepulauan Seribu selatan, Jakarta, Indonesia. We may find a very distinctive atmosphere in Tidung Island, although it is still part of Jakarta. Just 3 hours boating from the main land, People may find time’s getting slower in Tidung Island. People will find the local works less stressfully as fishermans, and less polution too. Indeed, since the Island only has motorcycles as the main transportation mode. No car, and a lot of bicycles! A little advice to go to district “Pulau Seribu” (literally means a thousand islands), they have each island with different range of prices to stay, and also some special islands only good to do specific activities. For instance, the price range for Bidadari Island is much higher than Tidung, with different expected accommodation. But don’t expect low quality room in Tidung. The locals are really open to tourists and people will get homey houses, air conditioned room and prime hospitality, not to mention much lower price. Also free bicycle to go around the Island! It is not a hotel, but to interact with the local will be an unforgettable moment.

Tidung Island: Homey local house

 There are a lot of activities people can do in Tidung Island. This is a small Island people will consider to explore by using bicycle, water activities, snorkeling and fishing. But there’s one unique thing people should try in Tidung Island.

There’s a bridge called “Jembatan Cinta” (Bridge of Love). The height is about 3-5 meters, and people should try the adrenaline!

Tidung Island: Jump or No Jump
Tidung Island: Believe me, it was tough decision

The decision starts when people get over the handle of the bridge and see the water below them! It will be the time when people should consider either they are brave enough or not! There will be battle in people’s head, and they need to make a fast respond, since the bridge is also used by boats to cross below. It wasn’t easy, but I can say I choose to jump, and that was not a bad idea.

Tidung Island: I decide to jump!

Tidung Island: SPLASH!!!
Tidung Island: After jump, the happiness was real

The first time was frightening, but then it was addictive! The sensation was great and one was never enough!!  Also, don't forget about other activities! Stunning!

Tidung Island: Banana Boat
Tidung Island: Snorkeling
Oya, don't forget to bring crackers or bread in the boat for snorkeling. Don't miss the chance to take photos with the fishes and the feeling of them eating bread from your hand!

Tidung Island: Enjoy the sunset
In my opinion, Tidung Island is a great choice to have fast escape from daily routine. I hope in the future, the price won't be extremely higher, since that would make people reconsider to go there again. I always want great quality vacation, at least they could worth the price. But then, when it is not worth the money anymore, I simply explore other places perhaps. But who knows, in the future, Tidung Island might be as popular as Bali, but more affordable choice.

Tidung Island: My cousin approve!

Count Your Blessings: Rainy Season is Coming, Things are Getting Better

Image
Rainy season is in the town! I woke up in the morning with the sound of rain drops, cold weather & I stayed a little longer in the bedroom, since the comfy warm blanket, morning talk-show in the television, and FREElance time were all perfect combination this morning. It is all that people need recently, the rain. The heat was very horrible, with the smoke and fire-forest problems, people were hoping for the rain. Now, the smoke become less, and in near future, people will enjoy the cool air every time they go to work or go home. These days are great for cups of hot chocolate! Yummy! In my opinion, it will always about the perspective that we see the condition. Some people are stressed that in the future they will face other problems: water-flood, heavier traffic, wet clothes, or hardly bring umbrella anywhere. People can not deny, everything come in a package. since I love playing guitar, then I should accept that sometimes my fingers should bleed. I want to get a better...

Petroleum Production System

Image
Introduction This is the schematic picture of petroleum production system. The production system is the system that transports reservoir fluids from the subsurface reservoir to the surface, processes and treats the fluids, and prepares the fluids for storage and transfer to the market. As shown in the picture, the basic elements of the production system start from Reservoir, Wellbore, Surface wellhead, flowlines, and processing equipment. A ‘‘reservoir’’ is a porous and permeable underground formation containing an individual bank of hydrocarbons confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is characterized by a single natural pressure system. Oil and gas wells are drilled like an upside-down telescope. The large-diameter borehole section is at the top of the well. Each section is cased to the surface, or a liner is placed in the well that laps over the last casing in the well. Each casing or liner is cemented into the well (usually up to at least wher...
