Captivated by Bali's Simple life :GALUNGAN

have you ever visit Bali? well, i assume you've visit Bali once ^^, but if you doesn't lets read some description of Bali From WikiPedia

Bali is an Indonesian island located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island.

With a population recorded as 3,551,000 in 2009,^[2] the island is home to the vast majority of Indonesia's small Hindu minority. About 93.2% of Bali's population adheres to Balinese Hinduism, while most of the remainder follow Islam. It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music.

Galungan is a Balinese holiday that occurs every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. Kuningan is the last day of the holiday. Galungan means "When the Dharma is winning." During this holiday the Balinese God visit the Earth and leave on Kuningan

Occurring once in every 210 days in the pawukon (Balinese cycle of days), Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremony that is celebrated by all Balinese. During the Galungan period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must make offerings at the graves.

Although Galungan falls on a Wednesday, most Balinese will begin their Galungan 'holiday' the day before, where the family is seen to be busily preparing offerings and cooking for the next day. While the women of the household have been busy for days before creating beautifully woven 'banten' (offerings made from young coconut fronds), the men of our village usually wake up well before dawn to join with their neighbours to slaughter a pig unlucky enough to be chosen to help celebrate this occasion. Then the finely diced pork is mashed to a pulp with a grinding stone, and moulded onto sate sticks that have been already prepared by whittling small sticks of bamboo. Chickens may also be chosen from the collection of free-range chickens that roam around the house compound. Delicate combinations of various vegetables, herbs and spices are also prepared by the men to make up a selection of 'lawar' dishes. While much of this cooking is for use in the offerings to be made at the family temple, by mid-morning, once all the cooking is done, it is time for the first of a series of satisfying feasts from what has been prepared. While the women continue to be kept busy with the preparations of the many offerings to be made at the family temple on the day of Galungan, the men also have another job to do this day, once the cooking is finished. A long bamboo pole, or 'penjor', is made to decorate the entrance to the family compound. By late Tuesday afternoon all over Bali the visitor can see these decorative poles creating a very festive atmosphere in the street.

"Penjor"

On Wednesday, the day of Galungan, one will find that most Balinese will try to return to their own ancestral home at some stage during the day, even if they work in another part of the island. This is a very special day for families, where offerings are made to God and to the family ancestors who have come back to rest at this time in their family temple. As well as the family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offerings as well, and to the homes of other families who may have helped the family in some way over the past six months.

The day after Galungan is a time for a holiday, visiting friends, maybe taking the opportunity to head for the mountains for a picnic. Everyone is still seen to be in their 'Sunday best' as they take to the streets to enjoy the festive spirit that Galungan brings to Bali.

The Surprising Wealth and Success of Japan

What is the difference between a developed society that has remained in an economic slump for 20 years and one with steady prosperity for the same period of time? The answer is not clear. But that question dogged my mind in a recent two week visit to Japan after a gap of 20 years.

The Japan of today is amazingly prosperous. The first thing you notice is that it is spic and span clean: not a cigarette butt on a station platform; metro car floors you could eat off of; all new autos including many Mercedes and BMWs; endless flows of prosperous Japanese students and other tourists; ultra modern buildings everywhere; restaurants full of diners; Kobe beef at $250 or more a pound. In back streets of Tokyo and Kyoto, there is not a sign of poverty, dirt, or disease.

This picture of Japan is radically at odds with global expectations after decades of slow or non-existent economic growth and deflation. What is going on, and what can we learn from it?

Economists' definition of success is all about dynamic growth. So how has Japan created steady prosperity in recent years?

Japan has a per capita income comparable with the United States, but its 20-year growth rate has been anemic. Its birth rate is well below the average for developed nations, but its savings rate remains among the highest in the world. Consumption as a percentage of GDP is well below the United States. Its stock market remains stagnant and well below its historical highs. Its interest rate levels are as low as a negative rate in some cases.

But, after its property bubble burst about 1990, it largely avoided the excesses in housing markets and derivatives that caused the serious credit problems in the US in 2008. Its unemployment rate remains very low because its employment polices insure a job for almost all citizens. And, of course it is very different from all other developed nations in that it is still an island state home to 130 million people, 90 percent of whom are pure ethnic Japanese with few religious issues and minimal immigration.

How have they navigated these past two decades with such steady results? Despite a lot of political turnover they are still a monolithic society with a remarkable sense of togetherness. One small but telling example is that a large percentage of Japanese people start their days exercising either in public, or at home to the same TV hosts. (Is it possible that a nation that exercises together and works together stays together?) There is a much smaller gap between the highest paid and least paid than in the US; although, there is also less social mobility and less innovation and entrepreneurship than in the US.

It is generally easier to allocate more than less. But the Japanese seem to have done more with less by making their people reasonably happy despite fewer resources. This surely has roots in Japanese welfare, with its remarkably fair treatment of people of all ages and needs, and Japanese education, a world leader built on intensive early literacy lessons and a "distillation" methodology that identifies and caters to the best students. Throughout their education and lives, Japanese teamwork and collective good is stressed and rewarded. This all for one, one for all mentality is rare in today's world, but it serves Japan well.

Overall Japanese economic growth appears to have stalled in the last twenty years, and as a result its public debt has reached dramatic levels that would make American deficit hawks shudder. But unlike the United States, the Japanese own much of their debt, and their willingness to save through government bonds pays off in infrastructure investments in transportation and internet access.

Global headlines describe Japan as a sluggish basket case. But as Europe comes to grips with a common currency and fractured fiscal policies and the United States faces its own excesses, one has to wonder whether Japan may not have quietly, possibly even unintentionally, discovered a new way to manage its economy: a low-inflation system that sacrifices dynamism for steadiness.

The Japanese seem to have discovered that their national wellbeing can be achieved even with declines in relative economic prosperity. Their population seems to be willing to make shared sacrifices to maintain the elements of daily life that they consider most important: social harmony and order, safety and environmental health.

As the leading economists' definition of economic success is all about consistent growth, how come Japan has, under the radar, defied the odds and created steady prosperity in recent years without the harmful inevitable excesses of volatility that seem to come with a singular pursuit of growth? One thing that stands out immediately is low birth and immigration rates. How much of that is conscious policy based is not clear. Another thing that helps them it seems is that the Yen is not a reserve currency. Despite their domestic level of debt, the Yen has continued to get stronger. Another factor perhaps is that their banking system, despite its upheaval twenty years ago after their property bubble burst, and their savings rate remain strong and vibrant so that Japan is free from concerns about the actions of foreign lenders.

That said perhaps a deeper wider understanding of the current Japanese "success" and their apparently stable prosperity might inform some constructive new thinking elsewhere among the world's political/economic gorillas about their fixation on growth.

How to Make Kimchi

Kimchi (a.k.a. kimchee) is a raw, pickled vegetable concoction indispensible to Korean cuisine. Kimchi usually includes tiny fish or shrimp. Wanting a vegan version, I decided to learn to make it myself. I've found that this spicy fermented side dish is quite easy to make, and will keep for many weeks in the fridge, slowly growing tangier.

	There are many types of kimchi eaten in Korea. Baechu kimchi, the most common variety, is made with Chinese cabbage. To make a batch of baechu kimchi: 5 heads of Chinese cabbage 2-3 heads of garlic 3 cups of salt 2 cups of red pepper powder [see below] 1-2 knobs of ginger optional: chopped scallions or watercress, cubed daikon radish Red pepper powder (kochukaru in Korean), a coarse powder of chili pepper flakes, can be found in any store selling Korean foodstuffs. It is made from a pepper of medium heat. If using a hotter pepper, use less (but kimchi is supposed to be spicy)!
	Wash the Chinese cabbage well, remove the outermost leaves and trim off the root. Traditionally, the heads are split lengthwise, and made into kimchi in this form. I recommend cutting the cabbage into smaller pieces, as follows: After splitting lengthwise, cut out a bit of the solid mass near the root. Laying halves flat side down, make 3 lengthwise cuts along each half. Then chop widthwise into one inch wide sections.
	Place the chopped cabbage into a large bowl or basin. Take 2 cups of the salt and make a brine with 15 or so cups of water. Pour the saltwater over the cabbage, and mix well. Let this stand for at least one hour.
	Chop up garlic and ginger. The amount you use is up to you. I never use exact amounts...and I've always enjoyed the result, even if it sometimes comes out more gingery or garlicy or spicy than usual. The only thing you really need to make kimchi is the salt: since this is a raw food, a certain amount of salt is needed to pickle and preserve the cabbage.
	Mix the garlic, ginger, 1.5 or so cups of red pepper and the remaining 1 cup of salt with a half cup or so of water. Mix it well. Your mixing hand will start to tingle. Relish this sensation.
	Once the cabbage has soaked for an hour in brine, drain off all of the liquid, then rinse the cabbage and drain again well. Mix the paste from above into the cabbage. Add optional ingredients mentioned above, if desired. Mix it all up well, until the paste coats the cabbage evenly. Mix it up some more!
	Once it's thoroughly mixed, place the mixture into very clean containers. Fill containers close to the rim. If there is some red liquid left over, pour it into each container. You don't want any air pockets in the kimchi containers, and you do want the cabbage to soak in this kimchi juice.
	Clean off the lips of the containers, and put on lids. Do NOT tighten lids too hard. Let the containers sit at room temperature for 2-3 days, and as they begin to ferment, air will bubble out and containers may leak a bit. Traditionally, kimchi is put into ceramic crocks and buried in the earth. You can put yours in the fridge. At fridge temperature, it will continue to slowly pickle, getting more tangy with time. You did it! You made your own kimchi! Enjoy.

Meanwhile, at a bar…

Bartender: did you hear? They moved the Marine HQ.
Nami: Isn’t it at Marineford, near this place?
Bartender: They exchanged the location with G1, which was on the other side of Red Line.
The new Fleet Admiral after Sengoku has shown his determination by locating the HQ right in the sea where the Yonkou are!
But because of that, the threat from the HQ being near has lessened in the 2 years… and this island has gained many lawless areas….
Nami: Oh so that’s why…. It seemed to me this place has gotten rough compared to two years ago…

???: Eh!? Did I hear you right!? Bounty of 55 million berries….!?

AM!!

pirate: gyaaa!!!
Fake Luffy: Go read the poster again… I said MINIMUM of 70 million berry.
I’m not going to make talks with pirate captains with any less than that…. how did you even get to this place with a bounty like that?
Get lost, you piece of trash!! I’m the son of the revolutionary Dragon!!
Fake Nami: heheh
pirate: ….damn!!!
Fake Sogeking: We have no use for useless ones like you… we’re chosen pirates!!
We’re on a whole another level than you, don’t think anyone can just join us!!

[Pirate StrawHat Pirates Captain Monkey D Luffy & his crew (Sogeking, Franky, Nami)]

pirate: Damn, that Strawhat Luffy is ruthless…
pirate: yeah, but it’s to be expected… they have achivements…

Fake Luffy: Hey Franky, how many do we have?
Fake Franky: Looks around 100 men… three pirate groups have joined us completely, with 10 bounty heads.

Fake Luffy: And of those, two of them are famous rookies!!
The “Wet haired” Cariboo and “Bloody” Koriboo
270 million (? blurry) and 190 million bounty head pirate captain brothers.
Dohahaha, those guys are quite useful!
We’ll need to collect more underlings… hey bartender, more booze!!
Oh, and you over there… woman. Stop drinking in solitude, come over here!
Hehehe… that’s a fine one.

Nami: No thanks. I’m waiting for a man.
pirate: She refused…!!
Bartender: (Hey, you should listen to him!! That man over there is Strawhat Luffy!!
He’s a nutcase that charged in at the war 2 years ago!! You’ve heard of him, right!?)
Fake Sogeking: Hahahaha, waiting for a man!? I bet he’s a weakling that would cry and beg for mercy if he hears Captain Luffy’s name!!
Hurry up and come over here already!

Nami: I’m going to say this just once more.
I said, you’re no good for me, and I’m not going to drink with someone like you.
Got it? Strawhat…. who again?

Fake Luffy: I said Strawhat Luffy!!
pirates: oh crap…!!!
Fake Nami: Alright then, I’ll narrow it down to two choices for you.
Are you going to answer Captain Luffy’s offer? Or do you want to die?
Oh, and I’m a bounty head as well. I’m known as “Cat Burglar” Nami. Don’t piss me off!!

Usopp: Hissatu Green Star……!!

Usopp: “Devil”!!
Fake Nami: Gyaaa!! What’s this!?
Fake Luffy: What the hell is this!? Plants!?
Fake Nami: Help me, Captain!!
Fake Luffy: Stay away from me!!

Usopp: So will you drink with me, babe?
Nami: Oh~~!! Usopp, it’s been a long time!! What’s with you!! You’re gotten a bit buff!!
Usopp: Ow!! And you’ve gotten even more… endowed….!

Fake Franky: What the? That puny looking man is the man she was waiting for!?

Nami: You did that!?
Usopp: Yeah, that’s my new weapon Pop Green!! I didn’t spend the last 2 years staring off into the sea you know!
I’m sorry, but I’m graduating the “Weak Trio” with you and Chopper!!
I’ve become a warrior who’s never surprised of anything!!

Fake Sogeking: Hey brat, you didn’t cause this did you!?
Usopop: Whaaaat!? Sogeking!? How !?
Nami: Usopp, ignore him…

Nami: Let’s change the bar! I have something to ask you too!
Fake Luffy: What bastards!! Who the hell do you think I am!!
Usopp: What!? Luffy!?
Bartender: Excuse me ma’am, you haven’t paid yet!!

Fake Luffy: Bring them back, or I’ll lose face!!
Fake Nami: What’s with these black soap bubbles?
Bartender: Ma’am, the bill!!
Fake Luffy: What’s this…. clouds??

BOOOOOOOOOOMMM THUNDERRRR

Fake Luffy & co: GYAAAAAA!!!!
Nami: … And so, I got these new technology, and…
Usopp: Are you serious? You were on a sky island?

Fake Luffy: …… find those two, and shoot them to death!!

Sanji: What!? The first one here is that stupid swordsman!?
…. Damn, our restart is gonna have some storms coming.

Shakky: And Franky-chan was the second. He came around 10 days ago, and went to the ship right away
Sanji: Oh good, so Sunny is ok?
Rayleigh: Of course, not a scratch on it, and coating is finished. “He” did a great job as well.

Duval: I don’t regret this injury of honor!!
Flying Fish Riders: Yeah!! One Year for full recovery!!

Sanji: I didn’t realize you’re so honorable. I thank you, Duval.
Duval: What’s that? Handsome!? Ahahahaha, I’m just returning you the favor, young master!
Rainy day, windy day… strong pirates came after that ship constantly, and I fought them off day after day, and getting injured in the process, and….
Shakky: And Nami-chan came third,
Sanji: NNNNAMISAAAAAN!! Where!? Where is she!?
Shakky: She was bored, so she went out to shopping
Duval: He’s no longer interested in my heroic tales!?

—–

Shakky: 4th one was Usopp-chan, he came three days ago and went out to the town….
Fifth one was Chopper-chan, who came yesterday, and then you.
Sanji: (Nami-san is shopping Nami-san is shopping….)
Shakky: Brook-chan came today for his live performance, so there’s 7 crew including yourself on this island now.
Sanji: Live?

Rayleigh: That leaves just Nico Robin and Luffy.
It’s normally a very hard task to just arrivef at this island. You got one hell of a crew there, I’m glad all of you seem to arrive here fine!
Sanji: Yeah, but I’m surprised that you were training Luffy… he must be amazingly strong now
Rayleigh: I haven’t seen him in half an year either. I’m looking forward to his further growth!
Sanji: Oh god what kind of growth has Nami-san gone through in two years!! (nosebleed)
Rayleigh: Hey… you alright?

???: This is Sabaody Archpelago… I’ve found Nico Robin
???: Don’t kill her. Make sure to bring her back
Robin: I hope I lost them….

Fake Zoro: (He’s following us… what’s with this speaking raccoon!?)
Fake Sanji: (I’ve been telling you, look at this!)

Wanted Poster

Chopoper: Hm?

Fake Sanji: (It’s the real “Cotton Candy loving Chopper” 50 berry (pet)!! He must have been abandoned by his crew before they died, and been living as a stray all this time…)
Fake Zoro: (So it’s following us thinking his masters have returned, right? Then we should abandon our fox, and keep the real one! Having the same pet will give us more believability!)
Chopper: You guys changed somewhat! Well that’s fine with me!

[Strawhat Pirates Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and Chopper]

Fake Robin: We’re gonna keep it?? What does it eat?
Fake Sanji: Cotton Candy, of course!
Fake Robin: We don’t have any!
Shoo! Shoo!! Go away! (at the fox)
Chopper: !?
Fake Robin: Come here, Chopper! I got a cucumber for you!
Chopper: ….you look frightening, Robin!

Fake Luffy: Hold it there!!!
Luffy: ….. hm?

how to use twitter, kenapa di follow dan di unfollow

Yap, gue akan menjelaskan sesuatuu~ Yaitu.. Kenapa elo di Follow, dan kenapa elo di UnFollow.

Kenapa Elo Di Follow?

1. First of all, Ya karena lo adalah temen (baik) dari orang yang ngefollowlo itu.. entah temen sekolah, kuliah, kerja, dll.

2. Lo adalah orang yang terpandang ato dikenal.

Contoh: Artis, Pemain Band, Penyanyi, Pelawak, Magician, dll.

3. Lo adalah Duplikat dari orang yang terkenal yang ngetweet kayak orang terkenal tersebut dengan gaya melucu.

Contoh: @CincauLaura, @Adriesubonouloh, @JastinBibir, @WuidihVierra, dll

4. Lo adalah orang dengan banyak sumber informasi.

Suka share link, gambar lucu, video geblek, dll, dijamin bakalan di RT, dan orang bakalan ngefollow elo.

5. Lo cari sensasi.

Yaa.. seperti yang kita tau.. kasus Rana dan Marsha.. yaa.. gue ga ngerti kenapa malah jadi pada follow(mungkin pengen liat aksi selanjutnya) tapi kalo mau banyak difollow, silakan bikin sensasi ehehe.. Kalo mau tuh bikin sensasi yang positif, misalnya lo akan menyumbang ke panti asuhan sebesar 1 juta setiap 1 follower yang ngefollow elo.. itu baru good.

6. Lo beda dari yang lain.

Lo kadang ngetweet ini ngetweet itu yang kadang orang penasaran dan orang pengen tau, ada yang menarik dari elo. Sesuatu yang lucu biasanya bener-bener narik orang buat ngefollow elo.

Kenapa elo di Unfollow?

1. LO BERISIK.

Kalo kata anak g4uL twitter, lo itu BACOTERS. Alias ngetweet terlalu banyak dan pointless. Lo ngetweet ga jelas dan cuma sekata-sekata. "Laper." "boker ah" "ANJING!". Well, for me, i don't care about that, so dont you angry angry me if i unpollo yu.

2. RT Abuser.

Lo lebih suka nge-RT daripada nge-REPLY. Beberapa beralasan karena kalo ngereply, kadang kita nggatau terakhir temen kita itu ngomong apa. Well, ada benernya juga. tapi ga harus sampe kayak gini kali :

"Gue RT @blabla gue RT @bleble RTTT BANGETT RT @blable GUAA RT @bloblo siapa mau gue traktir?!"

itu dalam satu tweet. bodo amat gitu lhooo~ who cares.
RT itu lebih baik pas lo emang ada something nice yang pengen lo share, biar semua orang tau.

Kalo mau pake reply tapi biar ga bingung, taro lah belakangnya "Re: blabla". ga susah kan?

Misal:

"@pisanggoreng oi menurut gue itu gosip aja kali re: dewiperssik ciuman hot"

3. Jangan pacaran di twitter, apalagi pake RT.


"iya .. aku juga inget.. pas itu.. kamu.. uu.. auuhh.. RT @sebutsajamawar: @cowoknyamawar aku inget semalem kita duduk di pojok pas nonton :"> "

PLIS DEH. TELPONAN AJA SONOH!

4. Tweet lo Ngalay.

K4l0 tW3eT L0 K4yAk g3nE3, kemungkinan besar orang bakalan unfollow lo. mereka lebih sayang mata mereka daripada baca tweet lo.

5. Lo selalu minta difollow.

Well, ini hak orang buat ngefollow lo ato ngga, jadi twitter itu bukan kayak facebook yang add me as your friend. Tapi ini lebih ke siapa yang lebih penting buat nongol di timeline lo, entah temen sekolah, sahabat, artis dll. Kalo orang yang ga dikenal, menurut gue ngapain juga gitu, bagi gue malah rugi kalo gue kelewat tweet temen2 gue yang asik-asik.

udah malem nih.. segini dulu deh hoho :D

Info Penting saat ditilang

Beberapa waktu yang lalu sekembalinya berbelanja kebutuhan, saya sekeluarga pulang dengan menggunakan taksi. Ada adegan yang menarik ketika saya menumpang taksi tersebut, yaitu ketika sopir taksi hendak ditilang oleh polisi. Sempat teringat oleh saya dialog antara polisi dan sopir taksi.

Polisi (P) : Selamat siang mas, bisa lihat Sim dan STNK ?
Sopir (Sop) : Baik Pak.

P : Mas tau kesalahannya apa ?
Sop : Gak Pak.

P : Ini nomor polisinya gak seperti seharusnya (sambil nunjuk ke plat nomor taksi yang memang gak standar) sambil langsung mengeluarkan jurus sakti mengambil buku tilang, lalu menulis dengan sigap.
Sop : Pak jangan ditilang deh. Wong plat aslinya udah gak tau ilang kemana. Kalo ada pasti saya pasang.

P : Sudah saya tilang saja. Kamu tau gak banyak mobil curian sekarang ? (dengan nada keras !!)
Sop : (Dengan nada keras juga) Kok gitu ! Taksi saya kan ada STNKnya Pak. Iini kan bukan mobil curian !

P : Kamu itu kalo dibilangin kok ngotot (dengan nada lebih tegas).
Kamu terima aja surat tilangnya (sambil menyodorkan surat tilang warna MERAH).
Sop : Maaf, Pak saya gak mau yang warna MERAH suratnya. Saya mau yang warna BIRU aja.

P : Hey ! (dengan nada tinggi), kamu tahu gak sudah 10 hari ini form biru itu gak berlaku !
Sop : Sejak kapan Pak form BIRU surat tilang gak berlaku ?

P : Ini kan dalam rangka OPERASI, kamu itu gak boleh minta form BIRU..
Dulu kamu bisa minta form BIRU, tapi sekarang ini kamu gak bisa. Kalo kamu gak mau, ngomong sama komandan saya (dengan nada keras dan ngotot)
Sop : Baik Pak, kita ke komandan Bapak aja sekalian (dengan nada nantangin tuh polisi)

Dalam hati saya, berani betul sopir taksi ini.

P : (Dengan muka bingung) Kamu ini melawan petugas ?
Sop : Siapa yang melawan ? Saya kan cuman minta form BIRU. Bapak kan yang gak mau ngasih

P : Kamu jangan macam-macam yah. Saya bisa kenakan pasal melawan petugas !
Sop : Saya gak melawan ? Kenapa Bapak bilang form BIRU udah gak berlaku ? Gini aja Pak, saya foto bapak aja deh. Kan bapak yang bilang form BIRU gak berlaku (sambil ngambil HP)

Wah … wah …. hebat betul nih sopir ! Berani, cerdas dan trendy.
Terbukti dia mengeluarkan HPnya yang ada kamera.

P : Hey ! Kamu bukan wartawan kan ? Kalo kamu foto saya, saya bisa kandangin (sambil berlalu).
Kemudian si sopir taksi itu pun mengejar polisi itu dan sudah siap melepaskan shoot pertama (tiba-tiba dihalau oleh seorang anggota polisi lagi)

P 2 : Mas, anda gak bisa foto petugas sepeti itu.
Sop : Si Bapak itu yang bilang form BIRU gak bisa dikasih (sambil tunjuk polisi yang menilangnya)

Lalu si polisi ke 2 itu menghampiri polisi yang menilang tadi. Ada pembicaraan singkat terjadi antara polisi yang menghalau si sopir dan polisi yang menilang. Akhirnya polisi yang menghalau tadi menghampiri si sopir taksi.

P 2 : Mas, mana surat tilang yang merahnya? (sambil meminta)
Sop: Gak sama saya Pak. Masih sama temen Bapak tuh (polisi ke 2 memanggil polisi yang menilang)
P : Sini, tak kasih surat yang biru (dengan nada kesal) Lalu polisi yang nilang tadi menulis nominal denda sebesar Rp.30.600 sambil berkata : Nih kamu bayar sekarang ke BRI ! Lalu kamu ambil lagi SIM kamu disini. Saya tunggu.
Sop : (Yes !!) OK Pak ! Gitu dong, kalo gini dari tadi kan enak.

Kemudian si sopir taksi segera menjalankan kembali taksinya sambil berkata pada saya:
“Pak, maaf kita ke ATM sebentar ya . Mau transfer uang tilang”.
Saya berkata : “Ya, silakan.”

Sopir taksi pun langsung ke ATM sambil berkata:
“Hatiku senang banget Pak, walaupun di tilang, bisa ngasih pelajaran berharga ke polisi itu. Untung saya paham macam-macam surat tilang”.

Tambahnya : “Pak kalo ditilang kita berhak minta form biru, gak perlu nunggu 2 minggu untuk sidang. Jangan pernah pikir mau ngasih DUIT DAMAI ! Mending bayar mahal ke negara sekalian daripada buat oknum”.

Dari obrolan dengan sopir taksi tersebut dapat saya infokan ke Anda sebagai berikut:

SLIP MERAH, berarti kita menyangkal kalau melanggar aturan dan mau membela diri secara hukum (ikut sidang) di pengadilan setempat. Itu pun di pengadilan nanti masih banyak calo, antrian panjang dan oknum pengadilan yang melakukan pungutan liar berupa pembengkakan nilai tilai tilang. Kalau kita tidak mengikuti sidang, dokumen tilang dititipkan di kejaksaan setempat. Disini pun banyak calo dan oknum kejaksaan yang melakukan pungutan liar berupa pembengkakan nilai tilang..

SLIP BIRU, berarti kita mengakui kesalahan kita dan bersedia membayar denda. Kita tinggal transfer dana via ATM ke nomer rekening tertentu (kalo gak salah norek Bank BUMN).

Sesudah itu kita tinggal bawa bukti transfer untuk ditukar dengan SIM/STNK kita di Kapolsek terdekat di mana kita ditilang.
You know what ? Denda yang tercantum dalam KUHP Pengguna Jalan Raya tidak melebihi 50ribu ! Dan dananya RESMI MASUK KE KAS NEGARA.
Form Biru – Anda Terima Kesalahan Anda
Jika anda ditilang di jalan sebenernya ada dua pilihan, form biru dan form merah. Form biru adalah kalo anda terima kesalahan anda (artinya anda gak perlu berdebat sama hakim). Dengan form ini anda bayar dendanya di BRI yg ditunjuk, setelah bayar denda resmi ke BRI, ambil SIM ato STNK yg disita ke kantor Ditlantas POLDA Metro di Pancoran, gedung baru, sebelum Gelael arah Cawang. Disini ada ruang khusus loket Tilang, ruang tunggu nyaman ber-AC, dengan hiburan Satellite TV.

Form Merah – Tidak Terima Kesalahan
Form merah artinya anda gak terima kesalahan anda, dan dikasih kesempatan untuk berdebat ato minta keringanan ama hakim. Biasanya tanggal sidang adalah maksimum 14 hari dari tanggal kejadian, tergantung hari sidang Tilang di PN (Pengadilan Negeri) bersangkutan. Contoh temen saya ditilang di cikokol tangerang, berarti sidang di PN Tangerang, jl aTMP Taruna, disini sidang tilang setiap jumat Nah oleh polisi, barang sitaan (SIM or STNK) akan disetor ke kantor satilantas itu sampai dengan H-1 tanggal sidang. Jadi selama masih di satlantas SIM/STNK itu bisa ditebus tanpa sidang ke PN, cukup ke loket yg gue sebutin tadi, serahin form merah, bayar dendanya, SIM/STNK balik dengan sukses.

Sidang , Denda Sampai Calo
H-1 tgl sidang dan seterusnya, SIM/STNK udah dikirim ke pengadilan sesuai daerah perkara, jadi kudu ditebus di PN masing2. Jika pengen hadir sidang, dateng sesuai tanggal sidang yang tertera di surat Tilang ke PN yg ditunjuk. Tapi ini tidak di sarankan. Kenapa ? karena antriannya luar biasa banyak, kita gak punya kesempatan bertemu hakim, karena sebenarnya sidangnya IN ABSENTIA, dan banyak banget CALO yang nawarin bantuan. Lebih baik cuekin aja tanggal sidang, ambil SIM/STNK terserah anda di hari lain, hindari hari sidang tilang biar gak rame, terus langsung tuju Loket khusus Tilang yang ada di masing2 PN. Tunjukin form merahnya, dalam 5 menit SIM/STNK udah di tangan anda dengan bayar denda resmi.

Jangan Damai, Tilang Jauh Lebih Murah Kok !
Kadang kala jika ditilang sering kali pengendara menjadi panik dan ujung ujungnya malah minta damai. Padahal bila dihitung hitung biaya damay bisa sampe 2-10 kali lipat denda tilang. Jadi sebaiknya ikuti saja prosedur resmi dan bayar denda sesuai tarif yang ditentukan, gak repot kok! Dan yang penting lebih murah !!!*****
