 Hi, back again at The Life of Calvin, Yesterday, me and my family celebrated chinese new year. Now anyways lets get onto the story D-1: The Jakarta Floods One day before CNY, We get brought fruits for chinese new year to my Grandparent's house in Jembatan Lima. However, a heavy rain just happened at night and caused some major floods at Jakarta. My mom drove the modified 2016 Honda BRV during the heavy rain, right after we got into Jakarta, we encounter some floods, the biggest one is in Jl. Terate. Finally we got back and forth without any issues, our car just got a smoky hood, nothing to worry about.  The Chinese New Year Celebration At 12 noon, we got ready to go to my Grandparent's house for our first stop. The weather is bright. We had lunch as usual. However, only a bit part of our big family got into the chinese new year celebration because of the flood.  Next stop, our big family's shophouse (idk who owns it). Its really chaotic inside. finally no passing ancesto...

Hi. it's been so long since I make blogs. For those who are new welcome my name's Calvin and here's my story... Saturday, September 2nd 2023. The most exciting, adventurous day of my life. from a school event, my dad's visit for a computer upgrade, and the most of all, A FIRE!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Exotic Car Wash and Spa That day at 3PM, my brother, mom, and I went to my stepdad's own worksplace. It's called Exotic Car Wash and Spa btw you can check it on instagram. We play around in there, overnight. And NEAR THAT PLACE, there's a unexpecting incident I heard. That's right, a FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥  incident. I rushed outside (oops i forgot my phone gotta get it first), then I saw what I always see on television,  A FIRE!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. So i stood there, heard explosions, and documented it on my phone. And after a few hours. 3 fire trucks came by the scene. And... that's the story... When the firetruck came by ...

 It all started in 2019. Where I took part of Coding Bee Academy. My friend Collins also took part. The teacher then shows the software called Scratch. When I open it, it's a child-like software. With the new sprite, a cat. And of course, it's boring because we can't type a code all you can do is just organize all the blocks to make the code run. But, not only making programs and games, You can make Animations by coding!! I was not bored of making a pong game. And yeah.... Scratch Editor Overlay In 2020, when Covid-19 starts to spread out, I was trying out the Terminal that was pre-installed on my Mac. Then, I started to learn Real Coding. There's Bash, JavaScript, Python, AppleScript and MORE!!!. But I just copy and paste the code on every site. In. 2021, I was making a discord bot, and Google Chatbot as well, I was fascinated with coding. And that's how i started to learn coding. I had no words

 Today the kite season is not here yet. But I remember playing and collect kites at July-September 2021. At July 2021, 2 days before back to school, I woke up, I checked outside the window, I saw a kite laying down at thhe balcony. So when My mom was downstairs, i stole the door key to open it, and there I have it. Later on. In Indonesia, it was known a game for playing kite, Kite Fighting, So here is how to play it. So the kite strings must cut the rival's kite string and let the kite loose and get away. The strings is very sharp so be careful, some accidents when a motorcycle guy's body got snapped a kite string. Some cities were banned for playing kite. for me  i get it for free. You can find it in small kite shop. And yeah, I always rage when I had difficulties to fly the kite. Then After September 2021, Raining season came. All kite players had to stop it. And that's all. Most kite players were in the village next to our compleks.

 It's Chinese new year. Too bad my dad didn't came. Atleast my grandparents stayed at my house. My uncle, aunt and cousin came. Everybody at he entire house like "kyonghi kyonghi". My maid said it wrong . Then everybody gave angpaos to each other, including me. Then we ride the segway and bike together. My uncle and my stepdad cannot. Later, when I get into a ramp, I fall. Then when I got back, I started to notice that my foot thumb was bleeding a lot... Then we ate and my grandparents and guests left. We took one more trip. Then got home....

This photo is taken at New Year 2020 (01/01/20 Approx. 09:00AM WIB). In my grandparents house. Here's the story... At the New Year 2020, Indonesia's Capital city, Jakarta, has suffered by a rare flood. At December 2019, BMKG has predicted that there will be a big rain right after the New Year 2020. And it happened for real. The entire city of Jakarta has flooded. They told it came from Bekasi. This photo, is taken during a blackout, when Indonesia's Electricity provider, PLN shut down the electricity at the entire city of Jakarta for safety reasons. Luckily, at my grandparent's house and Angke didn't flood. This picture is imitating the Columbia Pictures opening scene. BEHIND THE SCENES I take this picture using my iPod with flash turned on. Then used my iPod as a torch (the Columbia woman used that is so bright) and the camera at the same time. I didn't photoshop it. As you can see, I use the closet's mirror to take photo. 

It started all the way back in 2014. I found out beside the dvd player theres a wii. I think it's the another cd player. Then the sensor bar, it touched the bottom of the tv. I thought it's an additional accessory for the tv. I watched a video that has the Wii startup screen then the wii menu. Then in 2017, I played together with my dad and my brother playing MarioKart 8 Deluxe on his Nintendo Switch My Dad's friend got. Then the next day when I got home, I sneak out to the tv closet and found the shoe box. I didn't opened it before when I found out. When I opened it, It has the Wii Remotes, Nunchucks. AV Cable for the Wii inside the shoebox. Also one DDR controller that uses GameCube Controller port. Then I found out there's the name Nintendo in it. I asked my mom, Can I play with the Nintendo for a while? My mom said no. Later in 2020. I ask my mom again. Finally she allows it. She prepares the Wii (Wait I thought it's the DVD player.) Oh I found out it's ...

 NOTE: I make this because my vlog channel got deleted with my videos lol. 2021 is the best year ever. I had 18 subs earlier and also get to reach 30 subs on youtube. This night we play our Wii. My Brother loves to play Mario Tennis. I remember my brother trying to make eteled on mii channel but i afraid it may broke the wii so yeah. I guess it's not real anymore. This night my mom is cooking fried fish outside our house. Just like the old days. Not late, My dad came home with my mom's car. He even bought sparklers and colorful smoke bomb. We play it for a while, we ride our new segway we got for christmas. Some fireworks started earlier. Then my mom cooked fried corn. We ate it... 1 hour before new year 2022, we decided to see huge fireworks at the near of the mall. There's a lot of traffic jams. Many people put down their motorcycle to watch fireworks. And we got it. That's all we got home. Then quickly go to sleep....

 NOTE: I wrote this for a school project. September 3rd, 2020 During a pandemic, my activities are limited. I can’t go to the mall, I can’t play in the arcade, and I can’t go out just to get a family meals. However, my brother and I can cycle around the house. 🚴🏼‍♂️ 🚴🏼‍♂️ 🚴🏼‍♂️ So that I don’t get bored because I stayed too much at home, my mom sometimes takes me to go around town by car but doesn’t stop somewhere, of course not forgetting that we have to wear masks and sit far from my sister. My mom held a charity event during the fasting month. My brother and I were not allowed to participate remembering the rules of keeping distance. While waiting for my mother went outside, a stray cat came into the house and wouldn’t came out after a few times I took it out. My brother and I decided to keep the cat, because the cat was quiet and kind. I named him Tuil (I don't remember namming that). Day after day I feed and caress it. My mom noticed that the cat’s fur was falling out. ...
