Lama tak menyapa mereka, sore ini mereka menyapaku saat memindahkan beberapa barang dari ruang tamu ke loteng dalam rangka menjebol tembok depan.

Fuel Injection Flooded Engine

Yes, it's possible, it's rare though, so you should be grateful if get it (like me), :)  

When the engine is cold 

• Depress the accelerator fully and hold it. 
• While holding accelerator fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to the START(III) position and hold it (a maximum of 10 seconds; cranking) to discharge the excess fuel. If the engine starts, the engine speed will increase suddenly; release the key and the accelerator immediately. In this case, the following steps are not necessary. 
• Release the accelerator after cranking the engine. 
• Without depressing the accelerator, crank the engine until it starts (a maximum of 10 seconds). 

When the engine is warm — depress the accelerator about halfway to start it.

ups..., and do not keep the starter engaged for more than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls or fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds before reengaging the starter; otherwise, you may damage it.

Menunda yang tak Tertunda

"Walah kok tinggal tiga strip Nu” 

“emang kenapa, tu masih sekitar lima belas liter kan” 

“belok di pom Sengkaling depan atau di Pom tanjakan Batu, ada mbak petugas cantik yang enak diajak ngobrol” 

“ah nanti saja Ar, toh si Astina ini masih bisa jalan seratus lima puluh kiloan, dari Malang sini tuh bisa nyampe ke Kediri lewat jalur mbulet Batu situ” 

“kamu ini, memang apa salahnya isi bensin sekarang?” 

“apa salahnya isi bensin nanti?” 

“hehhh….” 

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

“yuk kita balik ke Malang Nu, keburu macet nanti kalo malam di jalur situ”

“bentar, belok ke pom dulu”

antri lama

“tadi kalo kita ngisi pas berangkat di Malang pas sepi kayaknya lebih enak”

“…”

lima mobil

empat 

tiga 

dua 

satu

isi seratus lima puluh ribu, indikator di dashboard kembali ke hampir separo

“emang kamu biasa ngisi nge-press gitu ya Nu?”

“kenapa Ar?”

“misal tadi ngisi segitu di Malang pas berangkat, toh juga gak luber kan”

“iya sih”

“gak ngantri juga”

“…”

“pompa bensin juga aman"

“eh? pompa bensin”

“pompa bensin astinamu itu, bukan pompa pom bensin ini”

“emang kenapa kalo bensin sedikit Ar? kan massa jadi kecil, akselerasi jadi lebih cepat”

“dan pompa bensinmu lebih cepat ko-it karena panas, gak terendam bensin. Terakhir umurnya cuma dua atau tiga bulan gitu kan? biasakan isi penuh, anggap saja investasi. Toh misal hari ini bensin penuh dari Malang. Ke kediri paling juga habisnya lima belas liter, kurang lebih sama jika tangki hampir kosong, ada beda juga sedikit, dan pompa bensin tetap dingin 

jangan menunda sesuatu yang pasti, kalo mau jalan seratus limapuluan kilo, ya pasti perlu bensin lima belas liter, entah beli sekarang atau menunggu tanki kosong dengan resiko merusak macem-macem"

Greek Egyptian United, :)

Have you read The Staff of Serapis? 

It's Rick Riordan's another mini story beside Son of Sobek. 

This book's in Annabeth point of view telling her counter with Greek-Egypt hybrid god (not capital G mind you) Serapis. Also, here we heard about second encounter of greek demigod Annabeth with egyptian magician Sadie Kane. 

This story take place in Rockaway several week after Son of Sobek (in which Percy Jackson, Annabeth boyfriend, met Carter Kane, brother of Sadie). 

Maybe it signs that Rick intends to create new book/s that unite Greek/Roman demigod and Egyptian blood of pharaoh magician  to save the world, hopefully. 

For you waiting new demigod book next october, The Blood of Olympus, maybe this mini story'll satisfy your hunger :)

I Know I have to Use Android, but...

After my iPad "coudnt charge" problems and finally grab a Lenovo A3000 for Alfa. I notice several things.

Sure it have quad core processor and 2GB RAM. (my iPad 1st gen has single core and 256 RAM, my iPhone has dual core)

Sure it behave faster than my sister in law's sluggish galaxy tab 3.

Sure, it means I have to choose android over iOS with those specs advantage

but...



My quad core 2GB RAM android fells sluggish compared to my much smaller RAM iPad, even Alfa, my 2 years son, dissappointed by its unresponsiveness.

It have to be carried carefully too, something that Alfa, used to stepping and jumping and landing on sturdy aluminium iPad, didn't like.

On a completely unrelated subject, can my Android do text editing? Sure it can.

Spreadsheet? no problem.

Presentation? ugh, what do you mean? create slide? ok

Presentation on projector? I am not so sure. I used to use my iPad or iPhone to do presentation of my keynote (created on mac or on iDevice) on my physics class using VGA adapter. I don't know how to get an adapter for android here, universal or specifically for Lenovo A3000.

Creating latex document? I use Texpad on iPhone, not sure in Android.

Recording a multi track song? I used garageband on my iPad and iPhone, searching with no desirable result on Google Play.
