Lawang Sewu

Lawang Sewu is a landmark in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The colonial era building is famous as a haunted house. The name Lawang Sewu is from Javanese; it means "Thousand Doors". The name comes from its design, with numerous doors and arcs.

Lawang Sewu was designed by C. Citroen, from the firm of J.F. Klinkhamer and B.J. Quendag. Construction began in 1904 with A building, which was completed in 1907. The rest of the complex was finished in 1919. The complex consists of several buildings, two main ones named A and B and two smaller ones named C and D, on Pemuda Street. There are two identical towers on A building, which were originally used to store water. The building features large stained-glass windows and a grand staircase in the center. The B building is located behind A building. It is three stories in height, with the first two floors consisting of offices and the third holding a ballroom. The building, with high, large windows, also has a basement floor that is kept partially flooded to serve to cool the building through evaporation. The Netherlands used this as a national railway station. After the Japanese invaded Indonesia, the army took over Lawang Sewu. The basement of B building was turned into a prison, with several executions taking place there. Lawang Sewu is said to be haunted, with many tourists visiting to see the ghosts. Lawang Sewu also appears on National Geographic channel on I Wouldn't Go In There

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautifulI know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.

My Wednesday

I'm going to tell you a story about my previous Wednesday, 25th September 2013..

Wednesday was my favorite day. Because there was sport class, geography class, and also economy class. I like it because, the teacher was fun, and we didn't have to brought too many books. Now back to the story, we didn't do much on sport class, just a warm up, a basketball lesson for a few minutes and then the teacher let us had our free time. The second lesson was geography, i think it was quiet fun, even though i don't really get it hehe. And the last lesson was economics, the lesson was fun and sometimes boring.

That's all from me. Thank you for reading!

Chemistry Class

Hello~ my name is Pradjna Paramitha Nursukma, im from X-Social-4. So, my English teacher, Mrs. Bita asked all the student in my class to write a blog. I was so excited! After a lot of thinking, i decided to write about chemistry class i had on last Sunday, 23rd September 2013.

Okay, first i want to tell you about my chemistry teacher, Mrs. Kania. She's the best chemistry teacher ever! Her teaching is fun and easy to be understood. She's discipline but kind. I respect her very much.

On Sunday 23rd September 2013, chemistry lesson in my class was about atom and electron configuration. We had a discussion, involved 3 students on every group. After that, she gave us questions about electron configuration on the whiteboard, all the students was racing to answer her questions. It was very fun.

Well, that's all from me. Bye-bye! And thank you very much for reading.
