Sura and Baya initially lived peacefully in their respective territories, Baya on the river and Sura on the sea. it all started with Sura who came to the river because he was bored with his food in the sea, namely fish, roamed the river to find new food, and finally found new prey, namely deer around the river. Baya did not realize this, but until one day Baya felt suspicious because the prey for food was decreasing, until she found out that it turned out that a shark had passed through its territory and took its prey, until finally there was an argument between Sura and Baya, both of them strong, no one lost or won, they were both exhausted from the long battle, so Sura decided to make a rule that their boundaries were up to the end of the river or the boundary of the river and sea, Baya agreed, and Sura left the river. months after that it was true, the rules were carried out, but Sura who was at sea was bored with his food again, until he was determined to go to the river to hunt deer and monkeys again, luck was on Sura's side because Baya didn't realize, but increasingly baya became suspicious, because there was a case like the one at the beginning, so he tried to trap Sura with a deer on the bank of the river that he had bitten to lure Sura. and it was true that Sura acted again, after that baya attacked sura, and there was a second battle between Sura and Baya. they fought with all their might, until in the end Baya bit Sura's tail and vice versa, but it turned out that Baya's strength was greater, causing Sura's tail to be severed and resulting in Sura's defeat. Sura admitted defeat and left the river with a pain in his tail. therefore now the place is named Surabaya.

dialog teks


Hello, how are you ?
fine, how about you?
i’m fine too. By the way, I went to buy snacks and saw a lot of people who weren't wearing masks even though Covid-19 was still rampant even though the number had decreased.
I also see a lot of people who do not wear a mask, especially my mother who sells it and many visitors who almost all don't wear masks. I'm worried about my brother because he's still young and my mother has to serve customers, so she has to interact with people.
Yes, you are right, why is everyone starting to ignore the health protocols that apply?
I don't know either.
Could it be because the number has decreased and there is also a vaccine, so people think that they won't get Covid again.
probably like what you said. but should they still comply with health protocols or not? I'm afraid because the euphoria of Covid is reduced and the vaccine is actually bringing a further wave of covid in the future because now people have started to ignore health protocols
I agree with you, but I and my family still adhere to the protocol so that Covid is finished quickly.
My family and I are like that too, especially now that we are in college, we want to go offline and not be online anymore, we want to meet friends and see the campus atmosphere.
Me too, i want to experience what life is like in college. I hope covid will be over soon so we can both go to Semarang
Yes, hopefully, I can't wait to go to Semarang
me too.

Never not - LAUV

We were so beautiful

We were so tragic

No other magic could ever compare

Lost myself, seventeen

Then you came, found me

No other magic could ever compare

There’s a room

In my heart with the memories we made

Took ’em down but they’re still in their frames

There’s no way I could ever forget, mmm

For as long as I live and as long as I love

I will never not think about you

You, mmm

I will never not think about you

Nothing Like us - Justin Bieber

Lately I've been thinkin',

Thinkin' bout what we had,

and I know it's hard,

it was all that we knew...

Have you been drinkin'?

To take all the pain away,

I wish that I could give you what you deserve...

'Cuz nothing can ever,

Ever replace you.

Nothing can make me feel like you do,

You'd know there's no one,

I can relate to,

I know we won't find a love that's so true…

There's nothing like us,

There's nothing like you and me,

Together through the storms.

There's nothing like us,

There's nothing like you and me,

together, mm.
