For the interview task i am going to interview Bimo Adityarahman Wiraputra Mitrakusuma. He is well known for his achievement in Mathematical calculation. Rumor has it that he is able to calculate integral numbers within a matter of second in his mind. He has also achieved the highest rank every year in Junior Highschool. Let's take a look, shall we?

And most of the time, He pirate them. Even though it is illegal, it also enables me to get things not yet available in my area, for free of course. He also likes traveling. Going to another town or city where he doesn't know the environment and sightseeing the scenery there. Going around in the city using his bike is also fun for me. He doesn't really like studying, but his favorite subject is Mathematics. "They are like puzzles" he said. His favorite foods are chicken and brain curry from Padang, hotplate mushroom and chicken noodles sold in Istana Plaza for 25 thousand rupiahs, catfish, and cheeseburger. His favorite drinks are strawberry milkshake, cola with milk, and milk tea, which are all made of milk if you notice them.

AL MASJID EL HARAM

Al-Masjid Al-Haram or Masjidil Haram (Arabic: المسجد الحرام‎, The Sacred Mosque or The Grand Mosque is in the city of Mecca,Saudi Arabia. It is the largest mosque in the world and surrounds one of Islam's holiest places, the Kaaba. Muslims face in the direction of the Kaaba while performing Salat. One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every Muslim to perform the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in his or her lifetime if able to do so, including circumambulation of the Kaaba.

The current structure covers an area of 356,800 square metres (88.2 acres) including the outdoor and indoor praying spaces and can accommodate up to two million worshipers during the Hajj period, one of the largest annual gatherings of people in the world. Unlike many other mosques which are segregated, men and women can worship at Al-Masjid Al-Haram together.

In 2007, the mosque underwent a fourth extension project which is estimated to last until 2020. King Abdullah Ibn Abdul Azeezplans to increase the mosque's capacity to 2 million.

Northern expansion of the mosque began in August 2011 and is expected to be completed in 1.5 years. The area of the mosque will be expanded from the current 356,000 m² (3,830,000 sq ft) to 400,000 m² (4,300,000 sq ft). A new gate named after King Abdullah will be built together with two new minarets, bringing their total to 11. The cost of the project is $10.6 billion and after completion the mosque will house over 2.5 million worshipers. The Mataf (the circumambulation areas around the Kaaba) will also see expansion and all closed spaces will be air conditioned.^[7]

Controversies on expansion projects

Main article: Destruction of early Islamic heritage sites in Saudi Arabia

There has been some controversy that the expansion projects of the mosque and Mecca itself are causing harm to early Islamic heritage. Many ancient buildings, some more than a thousand years old, have been demolished to make room not only for the expansion of Al-Masjid Al-Haram, but for new malls and hotels. Some examples are:

• Bayt Al-Mawlid, the house where Muhammad was born demolished and rebuilt as a library.
• Dar Al-Arqam, the first Islamic school where Muhammad taught flattened to lay marble tiles.
• The house of Abu Jahal has been demolished and replaced by public washrooms.
• Dome which served as a canopy over the Well of Zamzam demolished.
• Some Ottoman porticos at Al-Masjid Al-Haram demolished and the remaining under threat.
• House of Muhammed in Medina where he lived after the migration from Mecca.

Matswapati

Matswapati is a sundanese themed cultural festival that had taken place last saturday it was not very interesting to me. in fact i was planning not to go there for the sake of my birthday but my annoying peculiar "Leader" of the class convinced me to go there. Hence i abandoned my birthday party and postponed it for 30th. The first event was scheduled to take place at 6:30 in the morning. i didn't know that until 6:45. Only after i finished my breakfast then i know that i have to quickly go there.


The first schedule was Contemporary Parade. it took place at 7:00 i was so lucky that the parade hadn't started yet. So i hurriedly join the first row in my class. After the parade started we walked down the street of sumatra it was a bit crowded before the policeman came to handle the traffic jam. I was very passionate at first, but after the first 15 minutes i spent the whole parade complaining about my life to "Uncle"


I thought that we were going to have a short trip, but then i saw the crowd turning left from the sumatra street. Then i thought to myself "what a drag". we continuously walked towards the merdeka street. Then i remembered my elementary school was situated there. then i waved to my teacher there hoping that they still recognized me. and it's true they waved back at me that made me so happy. After going through my elementary school we continue to walk through sumatera street in front of my JHS


There i saw my regular fried chicken named "Aeb". he's not with thoyib though. Then after that we finally reached Bali Court again. After i waited for about 15 minutes there was a Lumping Horse show i didn't actually get the show since it's just about some guy eating hard bricks and glasses. They don't seem to fake it though, but i still enjoyed my Contemporary Parade nevertheless

Hello everyone my name is Rayza Mahendra G. H. The G. H. stands for Guntara Harsono which is my family's surname. I was born on 30th September 2000 which makes me currently 13 years old. I'm currently studying at 3 high school which is great i have lots of friend and few best friend. I live at New Cikutra street 6 No 24 which is my grandparent's house. My hobby is surfing the internet searching for news and such things, i prefer fun facts though. I currently do not have a girlfriend and not planning to until i'm fully fledged (17 years old according to my mom) but i still have a special someone in my heart

My family consisted of me, my father, and my mother i don't have a brother nor a sister so that makes that one spoiled child that always rely on their mother. My father works at BRI branch at Bengkulu which is really far from Bandung so i don't see him a lot. My mother works as a doctor. Specialized in Radiology, you know those people who scan your belly so that he/she could see inside your belly to see what's wrong with you.

I have a very funny new friend whose name is rather unique he is from malaysia. His name is Faris Abdurrachman, he is a comedian yet a competitive pal. I think he is 185 cm tall, yea that's pretty tall for a boy of his age. He is 16 by the way. if i have to chose a very inspiring person that keeps my life going its totally my father he is 50 years old and still works hard for his family i respect him so much that i don't even dare to defy his order. He once told me this "Don't practice until you can do it once, practice until you can't do it wrong." that quote has a very special place in my heart, i respect him.
