Grade 7 and 8 in One Post

SpeechFest 2008 "Peter Pan" drama 
This drama was directed by Karina Sarah.
I was in the costumes crew :) (and I was John. Wendy's brother haha)

Khansa the pirate and the Raihan as the Capt. Hook

The Alligator

Busy preparing for the show!

Karina is delivering a speech :)

Kostum Capt. Hook ada kayak jubah merah gitu. Tau itu apa? Itu tatakan piano saya haha.
Kejadiannya gini, kan pada suatu malam (?), di atas piano tuh berdebu, karna mumpung inget, kainnya mau di laundry, besok pagi baru suruh si mbak bersihin apapun yg ada di atasnya.
(namanya juga msh kekanak-kanakan) main-mainan sama kain merahnya,
 pas di taro di pundak.
TADAA..
Ide untuk pelengkap kostum Capt. Hook pun jadi.
Jadi Raihan, maaf ya, kainnya masih berdebu gitu. Gapapa kan. Sorry waktu itu gak bilang hehe.

Sama waktu itu kita kyk ada 'konflik' sm kelas 7F.
Drama kita, scene yang kita pilih sama kyk mereka. Wah, dikira nyontek gitu.
Ribut dah. Sampe2 di mediasi sm guru counselling, Ms. Inun (CA klas gw) sm Ms. Maya (CA 7F) di ruang ballet.

Tapi untungnya, setelah naik kelas, kita baik-baik saja kok :)

Dear  my ex-elementary schoolmates.

 Tau kan sekolah kita waktu SD gk bolehin bawa handphone, kamera digital apalagi komik.
Apalagi wktu itu soal pengetahuan sm fasilitas kurang mendukung. Entah karena kita wktu itu blom tau gimana transfer file, ato blom punya USB ato gurunya yang gak bagi2 foto2 kegiatan. Yang dulu prnah foto2, rekam pun pasti udah ilang.
Jadinya foto2 wktu SD yg msh kesimpen paling foto kelas T.T
Jadi gak bisa kyk flash-backing gitu. haha. Kalo ada yg msh bisa contact guru2 SD, mintain aja foto2nya kalo masih ada :)

Kalo wktu di BINUS kan bebas, boleh bawa kamera, handphone. Jadi klo ada acara ada dokumentasi nya, udah gitu psti di upload ke FB

(btw, rekaman waktu Senam Irama yang akhirnya jadi modern dance yang pke lagu 'Selamat Malam Dunia' dong)

UAN

LastFriday, my father attended a seminar, information session actually. About National Exam(or Ujian Akhir Negara, UAN).

Things that I need to consider are :
1. Internal examination is school's number one priority. If we fail on internal examination, we're not be able to go to higher level.
2. Ijazah UAN (National Examination certificate) and Letter of Equivalent (Surat / Ijazah Kesetaraan) are equal. They both can be accepted in any school if ever there's requirement for an Ijasah UAN or Surat Kesetaraan.
3. Fail on UAN exam, we still be able to go to higher level, we will get the LE, as long as WE PASS THE INTERNAL EXAMINATIONS.
4. Fail on Internal Examination, we ARE NOT BE ABLE to go to higher level.
Even if we pass UAN.
5. Internal Examination is REQUIRED, but UAN is an OPTIONAL.

After considering those things,
I decide to take UAN.

BUT,
1. I need to join a intensive studying on 'Bimbel' program. My school has offered or informed some partners.
But I decide to not join with them. I will find my own place for Bimbel UAN. Why?
The program from the bimbel offered by the school is too strict.
Can you imagine?
We study for UAN until 9 PM, twice a week. Two months before the UAN, we will study everyday, until 9 PM. I CAN'T T.T. I still have to focus on school. I have to pass my school's internal examinations too. So, that's why I decide to find another bimbel. I can manage my time.

And I'm also planning to take Cambridge A Level Examination on grade 12 together with UAN, plus, school's internal examination. Too much for me haha. So let just make this as a practice, no time must be wasted for other useless thing :)
i hope that this will result with a good thing :)

Stephen Hawking's book

I saw Stephen Hawking on TT (Twitter) last night, I read the description. And that was quite surprising for me.

He doesn't believe that God create the universe, so some peoples think that he's atheist. He believes that spark, whatsoever create the universe.
Well, religion and science have huge difference, we can't put them together now. There's been always argumentation.
Still remember about ? Or other scientists?
They were sentenced because of ...... desecration or whatsoever of the religion at that time, but they're actually searching for an answer based on the facts.


So, I think that we should not arguing or else. We'd better find the way to make them in harmony, because religion and science both are gifts, to make us smarter and better even though they both have huge difference.
Or maybe science and religion are related to each other, we just haven't realized it.


For me, I just be neutral, grey. Why? I confuse, I can be more into facts and opinions, feelings and instincts.
But, let's all just respect everything.

Level Camp 2010

I didn't take a lot of pictures while we're doing activities, all handphones, ipods, camera, other electronic devices were should be collected to the teachers, for safe purpose, because we were doing a lot of activities. A little bit dissapointed me, it's for our documentations, but I hope the teachers who brought the camera willing to give me the photos, (yaaa, flash-back, -nostalgia-, inget2 kenangan waktu kelas 9 lahhh haha)

Btw, yang pastinya, berkat Event organizer kami "Pandu Alam", level camp kami menjadi seruuu, dipenuhi dengan permainan mengasyikan. Walaupun ujung2nya mengeluh capek dn ngantuk. Tapi ttp seru kan game-nyaaa..
Kakak-kakak pemandunya juga asik, gak bikin bosen, ramah, baik, dsb.

Berikut adalah aktifitas/Hal-Hal yang gue suka selama level camp:

- We were welcomed with the sound of Angklung (karna lokasinya berada di Bogor)

- Great view (Pancawati itu kayak sebuah lembah, ada persawahan, ada sungai yang jernih, pokoknya serba hijau semuanya)
- Tepuk semangat! (prokprokprok e e, prokprokprok e e, prokprokprok aaaaa) --- pas pertama ditunjukin gerakannya sama kakak pemandu, ketawa semua. 

- Patung pancoran! *bergaya Patung Pancoran*
(habis bergaya patung pancoran, "@@@@@@@@@ (gak tau ngomong apa pemandunya" lalu kita jawab 'What did you sayyy!!??" terus pemandunya bilang "@@@@@@" lagi. Akhir kalimat nya itu antara -bugaloo, shoot the moon, underwear, lampu merah, bunga sakura-)

{SUSAH BANGET JELASIN GERAKANNYA KAYAK GIMANA.

Kita lihat aja nanti ya, semoga ada yang melakukan hal ini, semoga ke-rekam

dan kita kasih liat gerakannya kayak gimana. Pokok e SERU}

(permainan per kelompok)

- Magic stick 

(menurunkan tongkat bambu dengan dua jari saja)
- Human transfer 

(memindahkan teman kalian ke sisi yang lain dengan memasukannya ke dalam lingkarang hulahoop tanpa menyentuh hulahoopnya dan tanpa melepas pegangan tubuh temannya yang lain. Jadi, baik yang ringan dan yang berat pun semuanya diangkat dan digendong)
- Empathy ball 

(permainan melempar bola ke teman sekaligus menangkap bola pada saat yang bersamaan dengan menggunakan satu tangan saja)
- putting a nail into a bottle (together) 

(sama kayak memasukan paku ke dalam botol sendiri waktu 17 Agustus-an, cuma yang ini dilakukan bersama-sama, semua anggota kelompok diikat dengan tali, lalu berusaha buat masukin paku nya ke dalam botol)

- Buldozer 

(hmmm, susah jelasinnya sih)
- Castle building 

(di dalam game ini ada Builder, Conceptor dan Communicator. Conceptor bertugas untuk merancang sebuah bangunan simpel dari lego, lalu Communicator akan memberi tahu rancangan tersebut secara lisan. Kalau hasil rancangannya sama persis dengan yang dibuat oleh Conceptor, kita berhasil memenangkan permainan ini)
- making a pyramid from glass of water, with chopsticks.
- Gak tau nama game ini apa. Cuma ini tuh ribet. Tangan kita tercampur aduk (?) , lalu kita harus membentuk lingkaran besar tanpa harus memutusan pegangan tangan kalian.
- Moving a pail (bersama-sama dengan tali)
- Elvis Walk (kita berjalan melewati bambu dgn berbagain macam ketinggian dengan mata tertutup. Kalau bambu itu jatuh, otomatis akan menyiram orang yang memberi petunjuk. Orang yang memberi petunjuk itu duduk di bawah embernya)
- Bonfire (jagung bakar, sing a long together. Dibuka dengan penyalaan api unggun oleh Ms. Inun; penyalaan api unggun-nya keren. Ms. Inun membakar sumbunya, lalu apinya menuju sebuah bola gitu, setelah bola itu terbakar, bola itu meluncur langsung ke api unggunnya, ssssssss, WOOSH langsung apinya keluar.

Dan kita nyanyi Laskar Pelangi, The Only Exception, Alejandro, dan kayaknya ada lagu ATL)

Lalu Ms. Inun seperti mendeklarasikan, bahwa kami, para murid kelas 9 (9th graders) adalah 9reat Graders. We're great, and the 'G' begin ith number '9'. *big applause*

Yeah, I'm proud to be the part of the 9reat Graders.

(You may think that it's 'alay', but for me, it's a symbol of pride)

Setelah api unggun, balik ke kamar masing-masing

ternyata gak langsung tidur.

CARDS

main kartu. Dan gak tau kenapa tiba-tiba ngomongin anime bersama,

yeah, it's like a small conference of the Otaku (anime and manga lovers or maniacs) with Nasya, Diona, Hosi, Yodi and Victor. 

(p.s= bukan di kamar sih, sperti kyk green room gitu deh, kayak gini, dan juga kamar kita itu satu bangunan sama kamar cewek tapi cuma ada satu kamar kok)

------------------------------------------

Berlanjut ke pagi hari, 

bangun-bangun

tiba-tiba ada Dany di jendela waktu gue buka gordennya. Jantung ku -...-

Ada kebingungan besar di pagi-pagi, mandi dulu apa nggak?

We are going to do outdoor activities again, nanti kalo mandi dulu, 

takut kotor lagi, takut keringetan lagi. 

Tapi, karna takut gak ada waktu buat mandi, yaa, 

mandi dulu saja deh dengan air dingin. BRR.

Setelah sarapan, packing, penjelasan tentang hal baru di sekolah yaitu Merits and Demerits system oleh Ms. Inun, lanjut ke permainan lagi.

- similar to the game in the Grade 9 Level party last year, cuma bedanya ini bukan nari tapi lari zig-zag dari yg plng blakang dari kelompok ke depan lalu hormat. Kelompok kami menang brkat taktik Ryan!

(gamenya itu; Setiap anggota dalam kelompok akan mendapat nomor masing2, akan ada seorang komentator sepak bola yang "nomor 2 mengoper bola ke nomor 5, nomor 5 mengoper bola ke nomor 16 dst.....sampai dan akhirnya nomor 4 mencetak GOL!" yang nomor 4 harus lari ke belakang, lalu berlari zig-zag melewati barisan kelompok. Kalo yang waktu Level Party tahun lalu, yang dibilang GOL itu harus nari)

Sebelum main Obor Kebersamaan,
Kita berfoto bersama , hiyaa,
Udah pake baju item (salah kostum), fotonya lumayan lama lagi.
Si otong pake berdiri2 mlulu di dpan muka, kena hidung, mundur dong.
Dan, gk nyadar kalo di belakang gue itu Katy. Sorry ya Kat.

- Obor kebersamaan
Kita harus jaga obornya tetap nyala sampai ke finish line, tapi akan dicegat sm guru2 & kakak2 pemandu dgn air. Kita dilempar bola air, WOW, basah, basah, dn basah. SERUUUU!!! Kita pake sendal, angkat tangan ke atas demi melindungi obor tersebut. 

(basah, we have a WAR! Whoaa, Mr. Zin ganas)

Kita tuh bener-bener berusaha dan rela kena air asal obor itu gak mati. Wow.

TOGETHERNESS
I love it.

Pada akhirnya, KITA BERHASIL!

Ho Ho. Alvin mengambil air got dengan ember (Air got disono masih bening dikit, gak item) dan kejar Mr. Zin, Mr. Joey dan Ms Inun dll. 

Setelah kami bisa menyalakan obor dengan obor yang kami bawa dgn susah payah, 

Ms. Inun mengucapkan rasa terima kasih kepada semua pihak. 

Lalu pada berlomba-lomba berlari menuju ke tas masing-masing dan menempati kamar kosong u/ ganti baju dan bersih-bersiih. Untungnya karna lari duluan jadi kelar duluan. 

After I went home, bukan kesan yang sepenuhnya baik, tapi

"500thousands rupiah is not worth for a room with cockroaches, ants, and expired Teh botol Sosro"

banyak yang komplain ttg itu, apalagi yang cewek-cewek ribut gara2 ada tikus.

Tetapi mereka menambahkan kalo Level Camp-nya sangat seruu, 

hanya saja kamar nya yg kurang menyenangkan bagi mereka,

well, harapannya di lain kali, semoga dapet kamar yang menyenangkan ya.

Well, I'm fortunately sleep in the better room, no insects, and better view, (paling semut gara2 ada makanan) sm gak ada air hangat (tapi, gpp kok, the Level Camp was a BLAST for me)

Thank You for the teachers (especially for Ms. Inun)
Event organizer "Pandu Alam", friends who are really participating well and great in all games, I hope that this level camp will strengthen our bonding as the second generation of BINUS.
We are the 9REAT GRADERS :)

I want an oboe but I gave up for a better reason

I'm confused to choose either Flute or Oboe
There are a lot of things to be considered because
#1 , both are not cheap
#2, the probability to have a good teacher to teach oboe in Indonesia is small because of its popularity (and the price). Have you ever seen a music school that teaches oboe for young kids in Indonesia? Most of the woodwind instruments taught here are either flute or saxophone
(this may sound like I prefer oboe more than flute, the truth is, yes.)
My music teacher knows a friend of him who can teach me oboe (if I'd like to) but he lives in Bandung
or my friend told me that she has an oboe teacher who lives in Jogja but he comes occasionally whenever he can.
NOTE: Having a teacher who doesn't live in Jakarta everyday, is not a good idea.

Sometimes I feel that I have to give up on this and gonna buy and learn it someday in my life, if I am fully ready and  have already achieved what I want (since I've made a mistake for making learning it as a priority in my life few months ago, therefore I decided so)

Rekening Tabungan Baru

Buka rekening baru!!! Haha. (Agak kekanak-kanakan kartunya ya). Tapi emang tujuan (market) nya untuk anak-anak, kan biasanya rekening tabungan buat orang yang sudah dewasa dikit. Sistemnya sih, namanya juga u/ anak2 psti jg gmpang. 

dalemnya aja kayak anak2 kan? hehe. Btw, ini kayak kalo kita hadir setiap pertemuan les/sekolah minggu dll, kita dapet satu stiker/cap/tanda tangan. Kalo tabungan ini, setiap 10,000 rupiah, kita diberi stikernya sama orang tua. Kalau sdh terkumpul 200,000 rupiah (berarti 20 stiker) kita minta orang tua kita u/ msukin ke tabungan kita. 

Disitu ada tertulis "Aku menabung untuk" ...........

(banyak sekali. Untuk ini, untuk itu, yaa, semoga uangnya berguna aja, bukan u./ dibuang-buang) 

yang pasti sih, u/ sekolah, belajar apapun yang ku-mau, mungkin bs u/ beli barang atau bkin orang tua seneng.

Sebenernya pada saat itu, ada iklan kalo kita buka rekening tabungan disitu dengan 300,000 rupiah, kita bisa ikut fingerprint analysis test (sudah bnyak di dunia ini). Prioritasnya yaa, buat fingerprint analysis test itu. 

Dengan analisa tes sperti itu kita bisa tahu kemampuan belajar kita lebih condong kemana, gaya belajar, dan kalo kita ingin tes dan konsultasi lebih lanjut kepada psikolognya, kita bisa mengetahui kira-kira kita kalau kuliah atau bahkan kerja di bidang, bagian apa, sebagai apa, dan juga kita bisa membenahi cara bergaul, bersosialisasi dan sebagainya. 

(Kbnyakan sih orang tua baru yg baru mempunyai anak, kalo bagi gue sih, gue perlu banget, soalnya selama ini gue bingung mau apa, belajar yg mana, fokus kemana. Dan hasilnya pun mengecewakan sedikit. Saya dimana2 aja bisa. Don't get it wrong, bkannya saya psti hebat di bidang apapun, tapi gue fleksibel katanya, istilahnya mutli-talent. Soalnya, hasil tes nya, dari smua bidang itu gue hasilnya hampir sama, kecuali interpersonal gue lebih rendah. Tapi dngan itu, gue pikir ya, ada untungnya juga sih. Kita dimana aja bisa. Bisa bkan berarti hebat atau sukses ya mksudnya. Yaaa, gak jelek lah)

Hum, gak ada salahnya kan kalo kita menabung.

Dengan adanya tabungan ini, semoga di kelas 9 lebih hemat dikit, bisa lebih menghargai orang dan barang, bersyukur, dan juga tetep berusaha dapetin apa yg kita mau :-)

The Demon Days

I’m copying the paragraphs from the book. (you can read it, because Egyptians myths are interesting to learn in my opinion, like Greek myths)

Goddess of the sky, Nut was married to the Earth God, Geb. Geb and Nut want to have kids, but the King of the Gods or Sun God, Ra heard the bad prophecy, that a child of Nut and Geb would replace Ra as the King of the Gods one day. So when Ra learned out that Nut was pregnant, he forbade Nut to give birth to her children on any day or night of the year (so Nut had to stay pregnant, forever) Then Nut figured out a way. She set a game of dice with the Moon God, Khons. Everytime Khons lost; he had to give nut some of his moonlight. He lost so many times, Nut won enough moonlight, to create FIVE NEW DAYS and tag them to the end of the year. The Egyptians calendar had three hundred sixty (360) articles in a circle, Nut created extra five days and added them to the end of the year, and days were not part of the regular years. A year has three hundred and sixty five (365) days and Nut suppose to have her children during those extra five days. So, Nut gave birth on those five days, one kid a day, in a row. When Ra found out, he was furious but it was too late. The children were already born, their names are;

1. Osiris
2. Horus
3. Set
4. Isis
5. Nephthys

Those five days are called as Demon Days [I have no idea the reason of why they named it as Demon Days] , those days were bad luck in ancient Egypt.

Rick Riordan was the author of Percy Jackson and the Olympian series (The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan’s Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian, I admit it that all of those five books are brilliant. The words he used are not complicated or difficult or in dictionary, the words are in beginner or intermediate category not expert. I’m not expert or fluent in English, that’s why I understand the story in these books---- I read all of them)

Jak Fair 2010

An Annual event held by Jakarta province government to celebrate the anniversary of Jakarta, the capital city of Republic of Indonesia. This event last for one month, from mid-June until the mid-July each year. The venue is always in Kemayoran, North Jakarta. The main time of this event is actually on June 22nd which is the anniversary day of Jakarta. This year, is Jakarta’s 483th year. There are always exhibitions, music concert, food stands, stores, etc. This is also one way to spend your holiday even just one day or one night.

There’s a lot to see there. I saw a little girl rock-climbing, boys riding on a tandem cycle, Styrofoam-made Borobudur temple miniature, flying fox over a small pool in the night and there’s a full moon, beautiful. And there’s always thing that you need to do during this event, which is eat kerak telor, a traditional Betawi food (Betawi is one of the major tribe in Jakarta). By the way, I actually expect my father to buy me a telephoto lens for my SLR camera, but when I visited their stands, my father said that he knows the store, near his store in Glodok, and he’ll probably buy it for me. Well, I hope that he’ll buy it for me

You know what, I felt a bit annoyed and uneasy that night.
My father really wants to buy me a motorcycle! That’s final. [What!?] [Okay, I’m a bit imitating the style of writing from The Red Pyramid, do you know what I mean, sorry] The reasons my dad wants to buy me a motorcycle are;
1. I need to be able to ride a motorcycle,
2. I can go anywhere I want easily without depending on someone to take or pick you up.

Well, here are my reason why I don’t want to buy it FOR ME [Take note that I mean it as FOR ME]
1. I’m, pretty sure that my younger want it MOORRREEEE than me (I’m not even getting any interested for that, my brother’s world is automotive, motorcycles, cars, he was the one who really excited) so, why don’t you buy it FOR HIM, he will be the one who responsible for his motorcycle. I still can borrow it right? If I borrow it, that means I ride the motorcycle.
2. If my father want to buy something for me, I would ask him to buy other things (You know that I want a Macbook, and yet, I want a cello or oboe, or maybe my dad can use the money for paying fees. Not just that, my mother start to think that she needs to do some sport because of her body condition, but she prefer to do it at home, like treadmill. Why can’t he buy a treadmill for my mom?)

I don’t care whatever my parent or my brother said, but IF my father bought it for me, and then my parent complain that they don’t have enough money for school fees, courses fees, daily needs etc , then we need to minimize our expenses …………… …………. …….. ……. (I hope it won’t be like that) 

{I’m wondering why sometimes or we often can’t get what we want, but other person give us what we don’t really want or need, then we can’t respect or appreciate it}

This Has to Stop

Ini sih cuma bentuk pelampiasan keheranan sekaligus kesel, jadi kalo tersinggung ya semoga sadar kalo di dunia ini tuh manusia pasti beda-beda, gak mungkin sama, biasanya lo kenal orang ada yang gampang marah tapi ada yang nggak, ada orang yang cuek ada orang yang gak dsb, tapi biasakan lo anggap orang yang lo sebut -alay-, -lebay-, -caper- itu sama seperti sifat-sifat yang lain.

Alay, lebay, caper, sering banget ngeliat ocehan orang-orang yang gak seneng sama mereka di Facebook, Twitter, dsb.
Ada beberapa alasan yang orang” pake knapa gak suka sama orang yang ‘alay’ ‘lebay’ ‘caper’ ;
1. Kayak kalo yg dibilangin ‘alay’, nulisnya kdng ada yg huruf kecil-gede, pake Angka. Beberapa bilang susah dibaca, ribet, jijik. Gak perlu langsung update status semacam “ini ada anak alay banget” ato “dasar anak alay”, gampang kan? Lo gk perlu bikin anak itu tersinggung, malu, merasa gak enak seharian, cuma karena lo gak suka anak alay, plis, lo yg lebih kanak-kanak daripada dia, egois malah.
2. Kalo 'caper' itu dia cari perhatian, mungkin sok eksis.
Anak-anak yang nyebut orang lain 'caper' itu menurut gue begini alasannya,
- takut disaingin
- merasa udah yang populer, eksis (belagu dan sombong)
mungkin kalian ada pendapat lain ttg alasan2nya.
Anak yang caper itu butuh perhatian lebih dari kalian sebagai teman yang tidak terlalu dekat atau kenal mereka.
Mungkin dia adalah penyendiri, pemalu, sehingga pada satu waktu, cara cari perhatian nya dia kamu anggap salah, lalu kalian bilang kalo dia itu 'caper'.
Ato, dia iri, ato berkeinginan untuk dianggap, dihargai, atau mungkin dikenal oleh kalian. Wajar dong. Mungkin kalian berpikir, ngapain dia terkenal, eksis, populer, dia gak ada apa2nya dibandingin sama yang lain ato dia memang belum bisa eksis karna mungkin lo sombong ato karna lo pikir orang eksis semisal orang yang pinter, berbakat, gaul, banyak teman sedangkan orang yang lo sebut 'caper' itu tidak terlalu seperti itu (kayak lo bilang "Lo ngaca dulu dong").
Hargain aja napa, gak usah langsung bilang "ini anak caper banget dah"
bikin dia merasa kecewa. Mungkin aja karna tekadnya untuk dianggap, dihargain orang banyak, populer, terkenal bisa membuat dia menjadi orang yang lebih baik daripada kalian.

Dua pihak sih ada yang bener ada yang nggak bener juga, tapi terlihatnya orang yang disebut orang begitu menurut gue yang kesalahannya dikit. Mereka mungkin tidaktahu, harus bagaimana bertindak, bereaksi, menulis status dsb dengan benar seperti kalian yang udah paham. Kalo begitu, kasih tahu mereka baik-baik, kalo mereka nolak ya, masih ada kok yang lain, yang butuh nasehat ato kritikan lo yang membangun. Lo jadi guru bagi mereka kan, daripada lo jadi musuh.

Dan dipikir-pikir, di dunia ini pasti ada hal yang kita suka, ada hal yang kita tidak suka.
Kita harus bijak.
Karena hal yang tidak kita sukai itu bisa memicu kita untuk menjadi orang yang tidak menghargai orang, berkata salah (ngejek ato hina) , bahkan hal yang kita sukai itu bisa memicu kita untuk tidak mengendalikan bagaimana mengeksresikan perasaan. Lo masih sekolah, belajar hargain keberadaan orang-orang seperti itu. Gimana lo gedenya?

Untuk anak-anak yang merasa disebut seperti itu,
gue pikir sih,
mending coba deh ya pertimbangkan lagi mau mengubah sifat lo ato nggak, karna itu pilihan lo. Lo bisa jadiin itu keunikan lo, ciri khas lo, lo bisa ekspresikan diri lo sepuasnya asalkan tidak melanggar norma, peraturan dan hukum kok.
Tapi dengan adanya orang-orang yang kadang gak seneng dengan kalian, kalian harus pikirkan lebih matang2 lagi :)

Gak semuanya bisa menjadi apa yg lo harepin, gak semua hal yang lo gak suka bisa hilang.
gue bukan orang yg udah lebih baik ato bahkan sempurna drpada kalian.
Cuma ya, gue gak benci orang ‘alay’ ‘lebay’ ‘caper’ :)

Hari Ulang Tahun Jakarta yang ke 483

Abang: "wah, Jakarte ni ye, udah hampir empat abad, seneng abang"
Eneng: "Iye, tapi jangan seneng dulu bang. Masih banyak hal-hal yang masih acak kabul disono"
Emak: "betul tuh si eneng. Masih ada rakyat miskin beragam nasib kayak kite-kite, kudu di atur ame pemerinteh (pemerinteh, aneh gak)"
Tukang sayur nongol; "Pemerinteh ma masih ngurusin pajak, mall-mall, orang yang berduit yang diurusin"
Ibu-ibu: "gak cuma itu kok, banjir setiap tahun, anak-anak jalanan, dan kata suami saya Jakarta, kota macet"
Abang: "kalo begini terus mah, muka kita mo ditaro dimane kalo negeri kita aja, ibukotanya gak bener"

tiba-tiba pak Gubernur datang ...
Gubernur: "Dengan itu, kita membutuhkan semua golongan masyarakat Jakarta untuk membantu dalam perwujudan Jakarta yang lebih baik. Seperti bayar pajak anda, agar uang yang kami terima bisa untuk transportasi publik yang lebih baik atau membangun tempat tinggal dan biaya hidup untuk warga miskin dan lain-lain"

Semuanya: 'Mari, kita membangun Jakarta yang lebih baik!!"
