The Amazing Rush: Indonesia


2010
01.25

The following post will be made in Bahasa, so if some of you doesn’t understand it, learn Bahasa. :P

Judulnya apaan sih? The Amazing Rush? Kok kayak The Amazing R*** yap? *silahkan tebak sendiri, harusnya gampang :P *

Emang, ini kita semacam copasdit (copy paste edit) dari The Amazing Race (beh, awalnya disensor sekarang malah ditulis gede2) dan ditujukan bagi orang-orang Indonesia yang belom pernah ikutan The Amazing Race Asia (yang US jelas gak mungkin lah), dan yang mau ikutan The Amazing Race Asia 4, tapi sampe sekarang belom dikasitau kapan pengumuman casting The Amazing Race Asia 4. Singkatnya, ini ditujukan buat penggemar The Amazing Race dan penggemar travelling nekat.

Secara orang Indo satu-satunya yang baru ikut adalah The M & M  Brothers (you-know-who), aka Mardy and Marsio, maka kita tentu sangat berduka cita dong, masa orang Indo yang baru ikut TARA cuma 2 orang? Oh wait, masih ada Brett and Kinar (meskipun ga bisa dibilang ikut sih, kalahnya aja malu2in :hammer: ). OK, anyway.

Purpose of this post? Nyari orang2 yang mau bantuin :hammer:

Jujur aja, kita short of people. Jadi ya… butuh bantuan gitu :P

Terus yang mau ikutan, gimana caranya?

Well… tunggu pengumuman berikutnya. Setidaknya sampai kita selesai mendesain semua task dan challenge, serta dapet izin dan tanggal yang pas. Mungkin ada casting *jiaaaahhh*, ato first come first serve basis. BTW, yang mau ikut tampaknya mesti bayar, soalnya kalo gratis jelas almost impossible lah :P

OK, segini dulu post nya, see ya soon!

Leaving Tomorrow…

I’m leaving Jakarta, Indonesia tomorrow. I’ll be going to Almaty, Kazakhstan, to meet some Borat over there (wait, a teacher of mine have already tested this) via Seoul, South Korea. And why I go there?

  1. To prove that Borat is not a Kazakh journalist. Borat is a comedian, actually =))
  2. To justify my teacher’s experiment last year: Asking “Do you know the movie Borat?” to Kazakh people, and see how their face turned into.

WAIT. Why does this post sound more and more Borat? FORGET ABOUT BORAT! And the real reason is…

  • Participating in International Zhautykov Olympiad 2010.

And I’ll be going to have some ice-skating there. Oh, and maybe make some snowman, and throw some snowball. It’s going to be freezing over there with -10 degrees at night. I hope the worst didn’t happen, -20 degrees of Celsius? That would break my bone.

OK, time to sleep, time to rest. It’s already 4 am, and I’m still blogging with listening to songs.

Lessons I’ve Learned from MatiBeku.com

First of all, this blog got a new Page. A new DIY The Amazing Race page! Basically, I’m just copying it from the now-defunct-part-of-geocities-site, and adding some topics like the U-turn, and I’ll be updating the page with another tasks such as speed bump (maybe possible in some large race), and some more pictures to show.

And, main part. I’ve learned something, as the admin and creator of the MatiBeku.com. Here it is, the rules of how do you survive in first 13 levels in MatiBeku.

  • Read the manual. A lot of people simply asks at the contact page, “hey how to fill the stars”, or, “how do you answer?”, or, “the page is broken, there is no form to submit the answer”. And here’s mine: your head’s freakin’ broken. read the manual, again. a lot, if you want to.
  • Google it. Wikipedia it. Search somewhere. Here’s the first thing. A lot of people simply asks at the contact page, and reply the post on the forum, and asks, “how do you open the source code?”, or the worst part: “please tell me the answer. I don’t know what a hexadecimal color is.” And I tell you, GOOGLE IT! A lot of people simply doesn’t know, or doesn’t want to know how to find something on google. I tell you. Screw you. Just search on the net.

This looks like a bad post, really sorry, but I should let people know, right?

OK, time to go. Ja na~

About MatiBeku.com

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything to this blog. And why is that?

1. I’m feeling really lazy. Really. To just log on to this blog and write something, and I can’t do it, because I’m lazy.

2. Second thing. I’m too busy. It’s been a long time since I got access to internet. Well, not really, but I’ve got no time to write anything.

3. The host’s somehow sucks. Do you know why in the past 2009, I reset this blog for I-don’t-know-how-many-i-did-that-because-it-was-so-many? Because the blog has an error log that grows in size. really. Last time I checked, the error log was about a size of 80 MB, out of 100 MB allotted for this blog’s quota. And I simply have to log in to the cpanel and delete the log. That’s why it is so hard to upgrade WordPress, because my blog’s quota is… wait. I should use ‘was’. OK, fuggetaboutit.

And now, main issue. Happy new year 2010!

About the title. Hmm..

It relieves me so much, that many people actually created riddle games like http://www.projectriddle.com, and http://www.nyonnyonnyon.com. I think it was inspired from MatiBeku. Or that’s just my thinking? :P

And I feel so happy when seeing all positive comments about MatiBeku. And how do I know about the positive comment about MatiBeku?

I just searched twitter with matibeku as the keyword, and many people liked it, with some cursing it :mrgreen: You know what, you’ll get really happy just by seing that, on top of those people’s suffering and struggling for solving each riddle (mwahahahaha)

And that’s why it makes me happy. Simple, isn’t it? Many thanks to Dimitrij and Arwin, too, for taking part in creating the riddles in MatiBeku.

And, last but not least, and again. Happy New Year 2010 guys!

PS: Should we pronounce 2010 as two thousand and ten or two thousand ten? I refer to the latter, though.
