Green Tea & Oolong Tea: Why I Started Drinking Them

So here I’m blogging again. Like it’s been years I abandoned this blog (I even forgotten the login password and had to undergo so many steps to get it back again).

Well, this time I’m going to post about Tea!

I’ve been a huge coffee lover all this time and the reason I love coffee is not just because it tastes fantastic, but it’s mainly because it gives me energy-boost that made me feel like a million dollar every morning. But ever since my Insomnia gone worse, I decided to cut my caffeine intake from coffee as much as I could. I used to drink 3 mugs of coffee per day and decided to cut it to one cup per day so I can at least a bit less energized at night. But lately, I’ve been losing touch with coffee for about two weeks. I replace coffee with Green and Oolong Tea for my daily beverages. And surely I got obvious benefits from Tea since the firs day I drank them. Guess I’ll cheating on coffee start by now.

My family are always been Tea drinkers. I remember when I was about 8 years old I lived in Makassar with my big family. Grandparents, aunties and uncles, they always gather and chitchat while drinking a cup of tea every morning. Tea is just as staple as salt and rice here in my home, and I rarely see my family drinking anything else besides Tea and water on their daily basis.

Raised in a huge “Tea-drinker” family doesn’t make me a tea lover to begin with. I’m a huge sweet tooth, and the main reason why I less liking the Tea is probably because it  tastes flat unlike coffee which is more rich of flavor. My family don’t add sugars or anything else into their tea and I’ve been experienced to drinking tasteless tea since I was a child. I know you can add some addition to your tea like milk, lemon or sugar to make it tastes better but at the same time, I prefer to get the best out of tea by drinking them bare without any addition of other substance. It’s a family hereditary I guess…

Green Tea

While most of my family having a cup of black tea every morning, I prefer go for Green Tea and Oolong Tea. Unlike Black Tea, I find Green Tea has richer and better flavor than the conventional black Tea. It also has very nice smell, it’s really calming and relaxing. And just like I’ve mention that I prefer to leave the sugar and milk aside and just drink it like that. Green tea has a natural wonderful flavor already, and adding other substance like sugar or milk would just ruining the natural taste. I drink Green tea every morning before I start my day, and also drink it right after I get back to home. It’s just really relaxing to have a cup of it after a very hectic day. It soothes and calming the nerves, very refreshing,  and good for blood circulation, and not to forget that Green Tea is the boss of Antioxidant properties which is beneficial to prevent any form of dangerous diseases. It’s a shield to protect you against so many illness from influenza, skin problems to cancer. So what to deny? Get a cup of it right now 🙂

Besides Green Tea, I also drink Oolong Tea on daily basis. Basically, it has similar flavor to black tea, I

Oolong Tea

personally can’t tell the difference of both flavor. While Green Tea has soft green yellow-ish color, Oolong tea is more like light brown color and less bitter than Green tea. Just like Tea in general, Oolong Tea has Antioxidant properties and of course a very relaxing smell which is really calming you down. I drink it with my meals or with my snacks and also after I finish jogging every Sunday morning (Yes, I only workout on Sunday morning). Oolong tea is very beneficial for those who are willing to lose weight because it boosts your metabolism so that you’ll feel more energized all the time. Drinking Oolong Tea basically decrease your appetite over fatty food and since it boosts your metabolism so well, you would feel less hungry and that way you won’t be overeating during meal time. But the greatest benefit that I ever got from drinking Oolong Tea is, it gives me energy more than when I drinking coffee and also it’s really refreshes my body and mind. Made me fully concentrate on my job and at class.

Just like I have mentioned before that I’ve been trying to consume less caffeine considering my sleep disorder. And ever since I stop drinking coffee and taking some sleeping pills, my sleep pattern started to getting better and I that I’m now capable to fall asleep at night (with some help from Nobuo Uematsu musics and mint aromatherapy). At first I was kind of afraid about Tea since it contains caffeine just like coffee has, and I don’t want to ruin my recovered sleep pattern which I’ve been struggling with for so long. But however, drinking Tea doesn’t affect my sleeping habit so far. I drink Oolong tea around 8 PM after I done working and it’s basically just relaxes my body, so it’s really a bless. But I’m not going to recommend it for people who are struggling with insomnia to drink their Tea before bed, because however, it contains caffeine which means it’ll prevent you from getting quality sleep at night. So please be considerable on your caffeine intake. Drinking Tea abusively would give you none of its benefits, moderation is always good and wise.

Anyway, in case you want to know about the brand of tea products that I use, here I’m going to show you the products of tea that I drink on daily basis:

Tong Tji Green Tea

It’s a local Green Tea product. I wonder if they sell it outside Indonesia but however you can still purchase it online on Java Trade House. The reason I decided to buy this product is because it’s considered as the best selling tea in my country, and from my friends recommendation who’ve been consuming it. This product is affordable in low price since it’s a local product, but however it’s definitely not cheap in quality. And speaking about tea products, my country (Indonesia) is one of the biggest Tea producer in the world, so I think that’s the main reason why Tea in here are generally low priced (less than 1 USD). And anyway, I’ve tasted Lipton’s Green Tea which is already known as England’s Tea brand, but Tong Tji for me has a really natural Green tea taste and nothing can beat its wonderful calming scent. But of course Lipton tastes good too, especially the chamomile tea 🙂 Tong Tji available in tea bag form and  powder form. I prefer to buy it in tea bag because it’s less of work for brewing them.

Tong Tji Green Tea, Black Tea & Jasmine Tea

Shen Long Oolong Tea

I bought the Tea in a local supermarket but actually it’s a Chinese product. So I can’t really tell much about what’s written on the back of the box LOL. This tea is wonderful, it tastes really good and the color is beautiful, and also this Shen Long brand has a wide range of tea choices. So I might try to buy their Pu Erh Tea soon. They have the Green Tea product but too bad it’s sold out when I want to buy them. It has chamomile tea too and other types of tea which are still quite sound alien for me. I guess China does drink more that 3 types of tea apparently. Anyway, this product available in box package and tin package.

Shen Long OolongTea & Tong Tji Green Tea

So, that’s it for today. I hope you enjoy your tea as well. Cheers. (^_^)

Berbagai Tipe Data Dalam Pemrograman PHP

String
String merupakan salah satu tipe data skalar yang bisa digunakan untuk data binary. Dimana data binary tersebut bisa berupa teks, karakter, daftar dari file gambar, dan sebagainya.
Contoh:$anny = ‘Anny adalah seorang mahasiswi Informatika UNG’;

Integer
Tipe data Int digunakan untuk variabel yang memiliki nilai bilangan bulat. Int bisa berupa angka dengan nilai positif ataupun bernilai negative.
Contoh:$populasi = 20000000;$suhu = -14 ;

Float
Tipe data Float digunakan untuk menyatakan nilai sebuah variabel yang berupa angka pecahan. Tipe data Float juga dapat berisi angka pecahan dengan nilai positif maupun negative.
Contoh:$panjang = 145.78;$percepatan = -5.216;

Boolean
Tipe data Boolean digunakan untuk variabel yang bernilai TRUE (benar) atau FALSE (salah). Tipe data Booelan paling is used for values that are either true or false. Tipe data Boolean lebih sering digunakan dalam proses pernyataan kondisional.
Contoh: if (($usia > 12) && ($usia < 20)) {$remaja = true;} else {$remaja = false;}

Null
Null merupakan tipe data yang hanya terjadi pada kondisi tertentu. NULL memiliki arti bahwa nilai sebuah variabel belum/tidak ditentukan.
Contoh:if (is_null($increment)) {$increment = 1;return $increment;} else {return ++$increment;}

 

Resource
Sama seperti tipe data NULL, tipe data resource mengindikasikan bahwa sebuah variabel belum dipasangkan nilainya. Tipe data resource juga digunakan untuk variabel yang menyimpan data yang merupakan referensi dari external resource.

Contoh:

$hasil = mysql_query($query);

PROGRAM PERHITUNGAN GAJI KARYAWAN (JAVA)

Berikut adalah program JAVA untuk menghitung upah karyawan. Upah dihitung berdasarkan jam kerja dimana jam kerja normal adalah 8 jam perhari. Dengan upah per-jam adalah Rp.20.000

Apabila melebihi jam kerja lebih dari 8 jam, maka akan mendapat Upah lembur dengan perhitungan JAM KERJA* 10.000.

Rumus perhitungan:

• Upah = jam kerja*20.000

• Lembur = jam kerja*10.000

• total upah = upah + lembur

 KODE PROGRAM:

package bufferedreader;
import java.util.*;
public class tugas1 {
     public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        String nama="";
        int jam=0;
        long lembur;
        long total;
        long upah;

    Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);

       System.out.println("INPUT");
       System.out.println("==================");

        System.out.print("input nama : ");
       nama=input.next(); 

        System.out.print("input jam : ");  
    jam=input.nextInt();

    if(jam>8)
        {
            lembur=(int) (jam*10000);}        
        else{
        lembur=(int) (jam*0);
}
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println();

        System.out.println("OUTPUT");
       System.out.println("==================");

        System.out.println("Nama : "+nama);
        System.out.println("Jam Kerja : "+jam);

         upah=(int) (jam*20000);
        System.out.println("Upah: "+upah);

         System.out.println("Lembur: "+lembur);

        total=upah+lembur;
         System.out.println("Total Upah: "+total);
    }
}
