Hai! In this post I would like to introduce you to my adorable friend here, quokka.
The quokka (/ˈkwɒkə/, Setonix brachyurus), the only member of the genus Setonix, is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as the kangaroos and wallabies), the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal. It can be found on some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, in particular on Rottnest Island just off Perth and Bald Island near Albany.
The quokka has no fear of humans and it is common for it to approach them closely, particularly on Rottnest Island. It is, however, illegal for members of the public on Rottnest Island to handle the animals in any way. An infringement notice carrying a A$300 fine can be issued by the Rottnest Island Authority for such behaviour. In addition, prosecution of the offense can result in a fine of up to $2,000.
You might know this animal from various posts in social media tagged as 'The Happiest Animal on Earth', well you are not wrong. This cute little marsupial always looks like an idiot smiling whenever they are in a photo. They are famous for their default smiling poses.
These are some of the famous quokka selfies around.

Dewa Athena
Hai! So in this post I would like to tell you my experience on 21st February. That day was the opening ceremony for the Dewa Athena program. Dewa Athena is a program for sport like a monthly sport contest. The opening ceremony for this program was Color Run. Fun fact : color run is an agenda where the participants run around a track while being sprayed or powdered by a colored compounds, which made the participants' clothes bathed in diverse colors. The color run took place around Lapangan Bali. The participants had to run around Lapangan Bali and then back to Lapangan Bali. At the end of the route the organizer of the run sprayed some colored water to the participants' clothes. After that Dewa Athena was officially started with some games.
