Basketball is a really fun sport that I think everyone should play. It’s not a complicated sport to play. You don’t need shoulder pads or a helmet, all you need is a ball and a hoop. Many people play basketball such as celebrities, men, women, and even the President of the United States plays basketball. Everyone can play it no matter how old you are. They have a small balls and hoops for kids and babies, and then they have regular balls and hoops for older people, they even have balls that a bit smaller then the regular balls for girls.

You can play many different types of basketball games such as one-on-one, three-on-three, five-on-five, shooting contest, and much more. You can also just shoot around instead. You can also just hangout with your friends and play basketball. If you and a friend play on an actual basketball team it is really fun because you get to see your friend play against you or other people, or you can be on the same team and play together.  Basketball is also fun because you can meet many other people that also plays basketball. You can even get friends from another town, another province, or even another country by playing basketball.

Basketball is also good for your health in many different ways. One way that basketball is good for your health is that it’s good for your arms. Basketball is good for your arms because it can help them grow longer because when you shoot the ball you have to extend your arms to shoot the ball. It’s also good for your arms for reaching because you have to reach for the ball when you are trying to steal the ball and then your arms will get longer the farther you will try to reach for the ball. Another way on how basketball is good for your health is that it’s good for your heart. Basketball is good for your heart because when you running the blood is pumping to your heart and you getting a lot of exercise, it will make your heart in good shape. It gets your heart active too because when you run chasing after the ball and trying to cover your guy your heart is pumping blood. 

And playing basketball even can change peoples, like changing absent-minded person to a person that can interact swiftly with his/her surroundings, and many more. It’s because when you play basketball, all of your body and your mind will be forced automaticaly to think quickly and take action according to many situations. It will train you to think and take the best way to solve your problem in your life. Trust me, I learn much from playing basketball.

So what do you think about basketball? Would you want to go and play it? I think that you should try basketball because it’s a really fun sport. Everything in these paragraphs is true about basketball even the ones about your health, how basketball is a really well known sport, and why basketball is really fun to play.

RENDANG is Traditional Food

Rendang is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau people of Indonesia. It is one of the characteristic foods of the Minangkabau culture, and it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honor guests. Being also popular in Malaysia and Singapore, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Malay community during festive occasions. Though rendang is sometimes described as being like a curry, and the name is sometimes applied to curried meat dishes in Malaysia, authentic rendang is nothing like a curry and doesn't contain curry powder.

Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally chicken, mutton, water buffalo meat or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava) slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices for several hours until almost all the liquid is gone, leaving the meat coated in the spicy condiments. The cooking process transitions from boiling to frying as the liquid is evaporated. The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf, lemon grass and chillies. The slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender.

There are two kinds of rendang: dried and wet. Dried rendang can be kept for 3–4 months, and it is for ceremonial occasions or to honor guests. Wet rendang, also known as kalio, can be found in Minangkabau restaurants and without refrigeration it should be consumed within a month.

Everyone likes food. I love much food. But, how if sometimes we find a disgusting food that we have to eat? I would vomit it more than let it in my stomach. I ever experienced it and I know it was terrible. Sometimes it makes me sick if I remember that moment.

I was in a cafe at that time, and I ordered a coffee milkshake with curry noodle. It was a small cafe near from my senior high school. The waitresses are quite friendly and kind serving well.

And after the food was served, I enjoyed them. Firstly, I drunk the milkshake because of I was very thirsty in that hot midday. The milkshake looked so fresh, cold, sweet and the color texture was really making me interested. Some people around me looked enjoyable for eating the food. The cafe was crowded and there was a small old television near from casheer.

Back to the topic about food I ate. When I ate the curry noodle, I found a flies and worm. I feel so amused like I wanted to vomit. But, I just kept quite and pretending nothing happend.

So, I decided to go home and paying the bills. Honestly, I don't want to eat in that cafe anymore.
