Wedding Ceremony

Watermelon art in wedding ceremony
The time will come, sooner or later, where one by one, the people you know are getting married. It is the time when some people might feel insecure to see them married! There are a lot of tradition that are commonly believed in the society. Sometimes people believe they should bring their significant other to their friends' weeding ceremony, while other people unlucky enough to have that significant other yet. Yes, that's me! LOL

In Indonesia, the wedding ceremony is very sacred since it contains the symbol of religion and traditions (adat). The preparations also have a long story, since there are a lot of different practices even in the same tribe or local inherit. It need an intensive discussion on how the celebration should be done between the family, and that makes the preparation need a lot of head.

Most of the time, there are sessions of ceremonies to be done. First is to accomplish the religion direction about the marriage. Muslim need to say ijab qabul, or Christian need to declare in the church, Hindu people have the ceremony in the temple, and so on.  Next session will be the traditional ceremony. Since it is separated, it may be done some days or weeks after the religious ceremonies. unlike the religious ceremony, that mostly only invite close relatives, the traditional ceremony  should be colorful, and joyous. The friends of the married couple and their parents should be invited, or they mostly will ask why they were not invited after the ceremony, and it will make the family feels guilty.People are often dressed in traditional costume. There is lots of food as well as music, and sometimes dancing.

These days, sometimes this traditional ceremony is combined with the western style and food. The real traditional ceremony could be very tiring and boring; it may spent more than 3 days. Sometimes, it wastes a lot of money (especially in the city) and not very suit to the young people. The combination of traditional and modern will make it more elegant and faster, without losing the traditional identity and signature itself.

As I asked my friends, most of them think that the big ceremony waste the money and they are going to make it simple. Maybe there will be mindset shift to the young people, but it should be remembered that the wedding ceremony of the children will be the pride of the parents, and most parents will be do anything to make it big and special. The shift will not be in my generation, but perhaps in the next generation.

Well, of course I think those are still too far for me. I still have a lot of things to do and dream to be chased. For these days, let me enjoy those delicious foods and happy parties which are arranged by my friends, and join their happiness of their new life phase. Happy free eating!!

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
