Bali Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a temple dedicated to the goddess of the lake is Ida
Batari Dewi Ulun Danu on the edge of a huge crater. The dominant shrines are Meru’s (pagodas)
dedicated to the lake goddess and the gods of Mount Batur and Mount Gunung Agung, the
largest volcano in Bali. The temple was built in the 17th century in worship of the main Hindu
trinity, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, as well as the lake goddess, Dewi Danu.
The sight and cool atmosphere of the Bali uplands have made the lake and this temple a
favorite sightseeing and recreational spot as well as a frequently photographed site. Ulun Danu
Beratan Temple, literally ‘the source temple of Lake Beratan’, is easily the island’s most iconic
sanctuary sharing the scenic qualities with the seaside temples of Uluwatu Temple and Tanah
Lot Temple. The smooth reflective surface of the lake surrounding most of the temple’s base
creates a unique floating impression, while the mountain range of the Bedugul region encircling
the lake provides the temple with a scenic backdrop.

I won’t forget my first experience facing the policeman. It was such an embarrassing yet
a funny day. When I walked home after school, my friend offered me a ride. At first, I refused
her offer because she didn’t have any helmet for me to wear. But she insisted and told me that
there would be no police. Besides, she asked me to accompany her to buy a second-hand book.
Finally, I agreed to accompany her and go home together.
On the way to the bookstore, she rode carefully and chose the alternative way. Even it
took longer time and distance, finally we could arrive at the bookstore. Then, my friend bought a
classic book with lower price, while I was looking at the bookshelf filled with the novels.
After that, we went to the parking area. We rode the motorcycle and passed the same way
we went to the bookstore. We thought that the way was safe from the police. But unfortunately,
when we just turned left at the intersection, we saw a policeman standing near the tree. The
policeman stopped us and asked for the riding license and all the equipment in riding motorcycle.
Then the police asked me, “Where is your helmet?” I was afraid to answer, and I just said it with
shaking voice, “Sorry, sir. It’s just my mistake.” Surprisingly, my friend was also realizing her
fault, “No, sir. I have asked her to accompany me. Let me get the traffic ticket.”
Guess what happened next! The policeman who have strict face showed us his wide smile.
He said, “You are all funny. I won’t give you the punishment letter, but please do something.”
My friend starred at me. We thought we had to give the police some money, but we only had a
few. Then, the police said, “Don’t you dare to think that I'll ask some money from you. Okay, I’ll
make it clear. You are students, right? Then tell me what lesson you've learned today at school.”
Feeling surprised and worried at the same time, I tried to recall my mind about the lesson at
school. “Oh, I just learned how to write a diary in English. Maybe I’m going to write about
today’s incident – I don’t wear the helmet.” The police couldn’t stand not to laugh. “Okay, I'll
release you. But remember to wear the helmet when you ride the motorcycle, even if there's a
police or not. Please stay safe!” We felt relieved and thanked him. Later, he told us that my
friend and me reminded him to his daughter who stayed in other city to study.
After that moment, I promise to always wear the helmet when going by motorcycle and
refuse for a ride if there is no helmet. I won’t let that funny moment happened twice!

B.J. Habibie, in full Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, (born June 25, 1936, Parepare,
Indonesia—died September 11, 2019, Jakarta), Indonesian aircraft engineer and politician who
was president of Indonesia (1998–99) and a leader in the country’s technological and economic
development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Brilliant in science and mathematics from childhood, Habibie received his postsecondary
education at the Bandung Institute of Technology in Bandung, Indonesia, and furthered his
studies at the Institute of Technology of North Rhine–Westphalia in Aachen, West Germany.
After graduating in 1960, he remained in West Germany as an aeronautics researcher and
production supervisor.
Suharto took power as Indonesia’s second president in 1966, and in 1974 he asked
Habibie—whom he had known for 25 years—to return to the country to help build advanced
industries. Suharto assured him that he could do whatever was needed to accomplish that goal.
Initially assigned to the state oil company, Pertamina, Habibie became a government adviser and
chief of a new aerospace company in 1976. Two years later he became research minister and
head of the Agency for Technology Evaluation and Application. In these roles he oversaw a
number of ventures involving the production and transportation of heavy machinery, steel,
electronics and telecommunications equipment, and arms and ammunition.
