Strange Story - By Samuel A

When Stefanus was walking home from school with his friends Mark and Joe, 2 people were spying on them. Then Mark took out his mobile phone and suddenly the 2 people ran and took it as fast as they could. Luckily, Joe threw his bag and it hit the thieves' head and they swore "F###!!!" (You know what I mean).

Then Stefanus and his friends fought them off and eventually the 2 thieves said begged Stefanus to stop but he didn't . Unbelievably, Stefanus stole everything they had (It's silly, isn't it?) and after that him and his friends ran away. They didn't get robbed but they were the robbers.

PS : The story is fictional so don't believe it.

My Funny Story - By Kevin

This thing happened at my school last week. When I was having English in my class, my friend, Calvin, stepped on my other friend’s foot. I realized that because I heard my friend, Marvin shouting. He shouted “F@#%!!! My infected toe!!!” (if you know what I mean J) then, my teacher asked what happened, but Calvin said “You better piss off sir!!! It’s none of your business!!!” Then my teacher, Mr. Garrison, replied “Young man, I didn’t teach you to say that word. It’s too rude!!” “Let’s finish this at the principal’s office you two!! March!!” said Mr. G.

                After school, both of them got detention. Mr. Garrison was unlucky that day. He slipped on wet floor, because he’s to dumb. Unfortunately, He fell into the detention room.  Then, Calvin trashed Mr. Garrison’s mom with some Yo Momma jokes. I heard some of them, but I shouldn’t put them in. J

Then, they fought for a while, until they got bruised up really bad. At the end, Mr Garrison was fired from the school and worked in McD as a cashier. And both of the children lived happily ever after.

 

PS: All the characters above are fully fictional, and the story is basically just to make you laugh.

Surabaya

Surabaya is located in East Java, overlooking the Madura's Strait. It's the 2nd biggest metropolis in Indonesia and also the capital city of East Java. It's also known as the Hero's city because there are so many Independence heroes who fought here and sacrificed their life for the Independence of Indonesia. So the heroes' day is celebrated on the 10th of November every year at The Heroes' Monument on the heart of the city.

The Heroes Monument

The name "Surabaya" came from a folklore which tells about a bloody fight between a some sort of a shark (Sura) and a crocodile (Baya). The fight was on a river which is now has a bridge over it called Jembatan Merah (Red Bridge). In memory of their fight, they built a monument just in front of the Surabaya Zoo.

The Surabaya Statue

There are some museum in Surabaya, such as The 10th of November Museum which has many historical stuffs from the fight against Netherlands Army on (of course) The 10th of November 1945.

But for you guys who hate museums, there are so many Malls such as Galaxy Mall on Dharmahusada St. , Tunjungan Plaza on Tunjungan St. , CITO on Ahmad Yani St. and many more. At the morning, the malls averagely open at 10 am and close at 10 pm, but there are many lounge which open from dusk until dawn.

Tunjungan Plaza

You also have to spend your money on taxis or cars (rentals) to travel if you can't stand the pollution and the heat. The average temperature in Surabaya is 35°C (95°F) The Maximum temperature in Surabaya is 40°C (104°F).

There is a "Food Festival" in Pakuwon city housing estate. It has small stalls which sell a lot of different food from famous restaurants with reasonable price. On the 17th of each month, there is a "Parade Senja" (Drum Band Parade) in front of Grahadi building which is the official residence of the governor of East Java. There are so many restaurants along Manyar Kertoarjo St. so if you want to look for some food, just come here. There are also many food stalls along every main roads in Surabaya so it's easy for you to get some food.









So, the last thing to say, "Go For It!!!"
