Process: How Tape Fermented

For the foreign people, please note, read the word ‘tape’ with the right pronunciation. Read that as [tΛpe], not [teIp]. Tape, yes tape. What is tape? Tape is a kind of Indonesian food which is made from glutinous rice. It is a fermented food, so the glutinous rice has to be fermented first. Why tape? Because it is very delicious!

As I told you before, tape is made by fermented glutinous rice. In the process, the glutinous rice is fermented by yeast first, in a closed container. Why it has to be fermented in a closed place? Because the process of the fermentation has to be clean, not contain any harmful bacteria that come from air. After about a week, the fermented tape that we are ready to eat will had been finished, and we can enjoy it. But, what happens in the one week time while we are waiting? I will tell you.

After a day when we begun the process by add the yeast in the glutinous rice, the oxidation-reduction reaction has begun. This reaction engage the micro organism (yeast), separates the organic substance, in the common ways it is glucose, into aldehyde, alcohol, and acid. After the reaction that can happened until five or six days, the micro organism produces water, carbon dioxide and a number of energy. And finally, the fermentation has finished. From the first, we just have some glutinous rice and yeast. But at the end, we got more because it contains water, sugar or glucose and alcohol.

My Fantastic Computer

My computer is a 'low profile' computer, but it has many advantages for me. It is a Intel-Pentium personal computer. It has a 2,4GHz processor, it also has a 256Mb of Dynamic Data Rate RAM and only a 32Mb VGA and 40Gb of hard disk. Although it just a 'medium-low' performance computer, it helps me in my whole life, because I work with this computer. It bring so many ideas to my work, because I work in a, what is that, you can call it graphic design sector, but actually I work by my self, not with other people. so it brings me money too, hahaha. In the other hand, I did my assignment(s) on it.

In the appearance, the CPU has a purple colored-chasing. It has eight cooler fan. On the multimedia side, it has one Asus CD-ROM and one Asus DVD-ROM. A few days ago, I added a AGP VGA in my CPU, it is 128Mb Ge-Force MX-4000 VGA card, yeah, the lengend of VGA card. I bought that from my Junior High School classmate.

With my new powerful CPU, I can work more effective, supported by an GTC 15' monitor, I can work very comfortable in front of my PC. But actually, my keyboard and mouse are a little bit broken. My keyboard had crashed down from my computer desk, and the same situation happened with my mouse, next time I will aask my father to buy me the new one, hahahaha.

Okay, I think it is enough to describe my very fantastic computer set. If you want to ask me some question, just give me some comments latter. Thank you.

Topic 2: Describing a person.

I have a lecturer. he had taught me Listening Class at the first semester. Now he teaches me Paragraph Writing Class at the second semester. His name is Mr. Chosa. He is about 30 years old, he is tall person with black-weavy hair, and he always wears an eye-glasses. He usually wears a white shirt and black trousers. Maybe people will say that he is a good-looking man, and yes, I think he is very good-looking person. But, actually he is very 'jayus'. Do you know 'jayus' buddy? It is like if we want to make a joke, but it is not funny. Indonesians will say "garing" to that. Well, that is my essay to describing my lecturer, Mr. Chosa. Hope you enjoy with my written.
