Halloween Party

Well, I went to Halloween party yesterday, at campus ISTP Medan (Pardede Hall). I never go to events like this before, because there's no event in my hometown. But I heard in Medan, there are some parties on Halloween Day.


My costume was:

'The madame of soothsayer'

I went there with Indah and Ary. First, we planned to go there by taxi, but finally we went there by Betor (Becak motor)! So silly! We also late for 1,5 hours. The event started on 6 pm, but we arrived there 19.40. Hhahaa, crazy! There are also Janet, Pheity, Mega, and Henny.

Indah, Ary, and Me

We visited Ghost House. Wow, it's scary me! Oke, I know that they're peoples, but their make up are very real and scary. They make alleys, and at every bends there's a ghost! Pocong, kuntilanak, suster ngesot, tuyul, bloody person, huahhh!

 

After that, we saw the performance of pansies on the stage. And do you know what? I was told to the forward, to dancing with them! Many peoples looked at me, and they claps for me. Hhahaha, shame on me!  But I got the cute goodie bag, contained snacks.

 The bag didn't match with the contents! It's look like the shopping bag.

 

I think it's not really Halloween. Some peoples just wear the black clothes, not really the costume. I feel excited own with the costume, a little bit weird. Hahhaa, but I didn't care!

Audi A1 Versi AC Milan

Bagi para penggila klub sepakbola AC Milan, nampaknya harus melirik mobil yang satu ini. Sebab produsen mobil Audi memutuskan untuk membuat sebuah Audi A1 yang dimodifikasi khusus untuk AC Milan.

Produsen mobil asal Jerman tersebut sejak beberapa tahun belakangan memang menjadi salah satu sponsor klub yang bermarkas di kota Milan, Italia ini dan secara teratur memberikan mobil kepada para pemain.

Tapi kali ini, Audi seperti dIkutip dari Autoevolution, Senin (25/10/2010) ingin melangkah lebih jauh dengan menghadirkan mobil yang terinspirasi dari warna-warna yang identik dengan AC Milan seperti merah dan hitam.

Untuk bagian eksteriornya, selain dilabur warna merah dan hitam, di mobil yang diperkuat mesin 1.4 liter dengan S-Tronic ini juga terdapat lambang Rossoneri yang sangat identik dengan klub yang bermarkas di stadion San Siro tersebut.

Belum lama ini, Audi memberikan sebuah Audi A1 versi AC Milan ini kepada bek Massimo Oddo yang memenangkan kompetisi balap antar pemain AC Milan di Monza.

Selain itu, lahirnya mobil ini juga menandai perpanjangan perjanjian sponsor antara Audi dan AC Milan. Di perjanjian baru, sekitar 65 kendaraan akan dikirimkan oleh Audi ke klub dan para pemainnya, antara lain RS5, RS6 Avant, Q5, Q7 dan A4 Allroad.

Vorax, Supercar Dari Brasil

Setiap negara kini sepertinya berlomba membuat mobil super. Setelah negara-negara seperti Denmark dan Meksiko kini negeri samba, Brasil juga tidak mau kalah dan mengeluarkan mobil super bernama Vorax.

Rencananya mobil sport yang dikeluarkan oleh Rossin-Bertin ini akan dirilis pada pameran mobil di Sao Paulo, Brasil tidak lama lagi dan akan mengedepankan penggunaan material yang lebih ringan.

Penggunaan material yang ringan ini menjadi daya tarik tersendiri dari Vorax. Dengan sasis terbuat dari aluminium dan tubuh dari serat karbon, Vorax menjelma manjadi mobil sport dengan bobot yang sangat ringan.

Bayangkan saja, sasis yang menopang tubuh Vorax yang akan diproduksi di Blumenau bobotnya hanya 220 kg saja. "Kalau terbuat dari baja, bobotnya akan tiga kali lebih berat," ungkap Manajer Produksi Vorax Reginaldo Otsu seperti dikutip dari koran lokal A Tribuna, Senin (25/10/2010).

Komponen aluminium sendiri menguasai tubuh Vorax dan mencapai persentase hingga 60 persen dari 5.000 komponen yang ada di tubuh Vorax. Untuk pelek roda 20 inci yang menopang Vorax misalnya.


"Kami sedang berupaya untuk membuat berat mereka antara 6 dan 9 kg, sementara roda normal beratnya 12 kg untuk ukuran ini," kata CEO Rossin-Bertin, Fharys Rossin, yang juga merancang mobil.

Untuk urusan dapur pacu, mobil yang memiliki berat total 1.300 kg ini menggendong dua pilihan mesin yakni V10 berkapasitas 5.0 liter yang digunakan pada versi penutup M5 dan akan menghasilkan tenaga sebesar 570 hp.

Sementara yang ingin merasakan tenaga yang lebih ganas, Rossin-Bertin juga menyediakan mesin yang sudah dilengkapi dengan dua supercharger hingga mesin tersebut pun mampu memuntahkan tenaga sampai 750 hp.

Dalam pengujian virtual, Vorax mampu berakselerasi dari diam sampai 100 km per jam hanya dalam waktu 3,8 detik saja dan memiliki topspeed hingga 330 km per jam. Sedangkan pada varian dengan supercharger tentu memiliki kecepatan yang lebih tinggi dari versi 'biasa' tadi.

Untuk akselerasinya, mobil bertenaga 750 hp itu mampu melaju dalam waktu 3,6 detik untuk mencapai kecepatan 100 km per jam dengan kecepatan puncak mencapai 372 km per jam.

Rencananya mobil ini akan mulai diproduksi pada akhir 2011 dan awal 2012 dalam jumlah yang terbatas yakni antara 500 dan 1.000 unit saja dengan perkiraan harga jual mulai dari US$ 700.000 atau sekitar Rp 6,25 miliar.

Daftar Mobil Bebas Masalah

Memiliki mobil yang bebas masalah pastinya menyenangkan, tak perlu khawatir ketika berkendara di jalanan. Apa kira-kira mobil paling bebas masalah?

Dalam survei di AS yang digelar Consumer Reports, produsen Jepang rupanya masih yang teratas dalam daftar.

Pabrikan seperti Toyota dan Honda melalui berbagai mereknya masih dianggap sebagai mobil yang paling bebas masalah. Tapi awas, dua pabrikan Amerika Ford dan GM mulai menyusul.

Ford dan GM terus mempersempit jarak dengan pabrikan Asia tersebut dalam hal kualitas daya tahan mobil-mobil mereka, sehingga perbaikan beberapa tahun terakhir ini membuat merek mereka dianggap sebagai mobil bebas masalah.

Beberapa model tersendiri dari Ford memiliki kualitas lebih baik dari Toyota. Kebangkitan Ford terus dilakukan sejak lima tahun lalu, yang dipimpin oleh sedan menengah Ford Fusion. Ford peringkat 10, bangkit dari tahun lalu yang berperingkat 16.

GM pun tak mau kalah. Sebanyak 69 model GM dianggap memiliki kehandalan yang lebih baik, naik dari sebelumnya yang hanya 21 model, dengan Chevrolet sebagai merek GM teratas diperingkat 17, naik dari sebelumnya di peringkat 25.

Apalagi hal tersebut diperkuat dengan tindakan GM yang membuang merek-merek yang dianggap berkualitas rendah seperti Saturnus, Hummer dan Pontiac, dan menggantinya dengan model yang lebih baik seperti Chevrolet Equinox dan Buick Lacrosse.

Sementara Toyota, dalam tiga tahun berturut-turut selalu mengandalkan merek Scion sebagai mobil paling sedikit masalah berada di peringkat enam, turun dari tahun lalu di peringkat 3.

Scion, menjadi pemuncak karena menjual hanya tiga model, xD hatchback, xB wagon dan tC coupe. Model-model ini belum diubah sehingga memiliki masalah yang lebih sedikit.

Peringkat Scion diikuti oleh Porsche, Acura, Honda, dan Nissan Infiniti. Sedangkan Lexus, yang telah menjadi mobil terbaik ditahun terakhir ini, jatuh ke posisi sembilan.

Toyota umumnya bernasib baik dalam survei yang melibatkan 960.000 konsumen ini, meskipun ada kasus recall lebih dari 10 juta unit di seluruh dunia untuk masalah keselamatan.

Selamatnya Toyota karena dalam survey tersebut, konsumen diminta untuk
mengabaikan kasus recall, kecuali mereka telah mengalami masalah karenanya, sebagaimana dilansir The Huffington Post, Kamis (28/10/2010).

Sementara Honda, adalah produsen mobil yang paling handal dan bebas masalah, dengan merek Honda dan Acura konsisten diperingkat atas dari hasil survei karena Honda terus melakukan penekanan lanjutan pada kualitasnya.

Chrysler menampilkan 27 merek dalam survey tersebut, dengan Jeep di rangking 20 dan Dodge di peringkat 24. Tapi, dari sekian banyak mereknya, tidak ada mobil-mobil Chrysler yang mencetak rangking di atas rata-rata dalam hal kehandalannya.


Berikut daftar mobil bebas masalah dari survei Consumer Reports

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8

Anyone who loves a finely tuned automobile should be in attendance at the upcoming SEMA Show. This particular show creates a tuning atmosphere that can be appreciated by just about anyone, but can be truly heavenly to the avid enthusiasts that look for ways to enhance a car’s styling, functionality, comfort, convenience, and safety. I may be difficult to choose a crowd favorite amidst the growing number of improved models, but one vehicle may just be our favorite so far. Meet the special Dodge Challenger SRT8 customized by CULT Energy Drink.

A feast for the eyes, this Challenger looks the part of an aggressively mean car prepared to take out anyone that may get in its way. One of the only details we know about the car is that it features a one-off, hand-fabricated wide body kit that provides some extra girth to the already masculine car. It also does not run on racing fuel.

We can’t imagine that a car that looks like this doesn’t carry an equally insane motor to push out astronomical power. It is rumored that this Challenger is carrying a 5.7L V8 HEMI with its intake manifold, clearly, popping out of the car’s hood. To say that we are excited to see the Cult’s newest project at this year’s SEMA show is as much of an understatement as we can possibly muster. This car is simply badass and it’s one that could be perfectly suited for a next generation Mad Max!

Exercise No 18 Of english shorthand

T is the story which may friend sometimes tells on a long summer evening as we sit together by the open window finding pleasure in the sweet clear air after the still heat of the day .
in those days i was an even batter walker than a am today, and as you know i still very much like a good quick walk.well, on that particular august morning i set out quite early before the on that day was too warm for easy walking . I was healthy on the way that the away from towns of any kind. I was healthy in the way that the food to meet my mall needs and was therefore able to keep away from towns of any kind.i was healthy in the way that the young are healthy and o walked with quick easy steps covering the first eight miles of the road in just under two hour , but with the increase warmth of the day my rate fell little by little .until the full heat of the day i found that i was doing very little more than two and a half miles an hour. Even the small additional weigh of the food i was carrying troubled me , and as it was by this time several hours since my last meal it seemed reasonably that i should look out for a place where i could rest and have a meal in peace.
After a time i reached a point where the road comes very near to a small river and i was pleased enough by that time to walk across the field and to find near the water some undergrowth high enough to offer me some cover from the full light and taht of the open countryside round about.
I took water from the clear quick running river and built a small fire upon some stones and so made my simple meal .such was the heat of the day that it was as much as i could do to keep my eyes open but using all my will power ,i was about to clear away the rest of the food when i saw standing before me a little old woman . so limed was her face that it seemed to me there was more room left was as old as her face. standing there she appeared to to me to represent time itself. but when she began to speak i found her words were common place enough.
Sir she said could you give me some bread and perhaps some milk.
I immediately began to clean up the piece of ground which had served as a table for me making a place for the old woman to and drink offered to her and as she sat without speaking i watched her face.
Tell me old woman i said to my own complete surprised were you always as you are now or were you once young and beautiful . had you once a hpme and a family or have you always walked these roads and fields?
The old woman turned her head and looked at me for a long time without speaking the lines on her face grew even deeper and her old blue eyes were serious as she answered young man i cannot remember for long ages i have walked these toads and these fields i have walked and always i shall walk , i am old and perhaps i have never been young i am plain and perhaps i have never been beautiful you are strong and you have health. you have all the qualities of the young ,because of these things i am speaking to you now .
Shall i tell her to go away i thought. I will stand up and get my things together and continue my walk.
I moved but immediately the voice of the voice of this strange old woman came to me again. No do not go.You must hear what o yes i Thought,. I will wait and hear what she has to say for if she is as wise as she is old her words may be of some use to me in the future,'But the seconds passed and no words came. I looked again and no one was there . not feeling very pleased with myself at the thought that i must have been weak enough to fall off for the thought that i must have been weak enough to fall off for a few minutes and believing that these things had not really happened i began to clear up what was left of my meal. And then i knew that the old woman had been there for my bread was gone and in its place was this.
At this point in his story my friend opens his hand and on a rests a lovely clear blue stone in a beautiful setting of gold.
I always carry this in this history my friend opens his hand and on a rests a lovely clear blue stone in a beautiful setting of gold .
I always carry this about with me now he adds and i know that some day i shall see that old woman again and find out what it was she had to say.

2011 Hyundai i20 Sport Cars Edition

Brabus is famous for tuning German models, and it usually goes for sportiness and luxury. But this time the German tuner went in a totally new and unexpected direction. The German tuner, in close cooperation to Hyundai developed the special edition i20 Sport.

Audi R8 Dione Sport Cars 2010

SR Auto Group made quite a passion for the Audi R8. First they revealed the R8 V10 Project Valkyrie and then the Project Pur R8 ’Phantom’. And now they came with a new package based on the German sports car. This time it is called "Dione ."

The exterior package includes: PPI Razor carbon fiber front grill, PPI Razor carbon fiber front lip, PPI Razor carbon fiber GTR wing and PPI Razor carbon fiber side skirts. And of course do not forget the amazing exterior paint: Matte Finish with Jet Blue Metallic. The car sits on 20" Volk Racing VRG2 wheels.

As for the car’s performances, SR Auto Group added a new RSC exhaust system, but they did not reveal if this will improve in any way the engine’s performances.

So, until now the tuner updated the R8 coupe version, in both V10 and V8 versions. We guess that next on their list is the Spyder version.
