and your family are doing well. As you can see from the address above, I have moved from
my previous house. My father sold off the double storey terrace house and moved from my

in the garden if we want to.
However, my mother said she would rather have a garden complete with waterfall. As
from me, I would rather have a space for playing football or badminton. I am sure my father
will listen to my mother. Poor me!

Actually there was nothing special about my childhood. I lived with my parents in a small
village, and I was just like other country boys. But my life changed when my parents decided to move
to Jakarta. At that time I was only thirteen years old.

Living in a big and modern city is far different from living in a small and traditional village.
However, I thought living in the country was the best moment in my life. In the new place, especially
in my new school, I became shy and nervous. The other boys in my class were tough, and they often
laughed at my country ways. Therefore, I didn’t have any friends.

However, I became more interested in computer. You know, I always liked computer, so I
spent most of my time to read computer books. I was very unhappy at that time, but I am glad this
happened because I finally decided to become a professional programmer. Now I have been trying to
get my master degree in a computer science.

change. The chrysalis moved and this attracted the attention of the ant, who for the first time realized
that it was a living thing. “Poor, pitiable animal!” cried the ant disdainfully, “what a sad fate yours is!
While I can run around at my pleasure, you lie imprisoned in yourself.” The chrysalis heard all this,
but did not respond.

QUEEN AJI BIDARA PUTIH

Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area was a
kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise, and
sensitive. Many princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because she was more
concerned with ruling her country and guarding her people.

One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant
ship but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought gold
and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t refuse
instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal first. After the envoys left the palace, the
queen called a court officer and ordered him to infiltrate the Chinese boat to gather information on the
prince. When night fell the officer sneaked onto the boat, got by all the guards, and finally found the
prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t find a peek hole, so the officer put his
ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having his dinner and
the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the officer. It was like a boar that he had once heard
when he was hunting. He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince
must have been a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form
only during the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his
proposal.

The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the
prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen Aji Bidara Putih chewed a leaf of
betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it turned to
giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes chased them and sank the
boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of Centipedes), with Chinese
treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.
