                                                                      Apologize

,
i'm holding on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground
i'm hearing what you say but i just can't make a sound
you tell me that you need me
then you go and cut me down, but wait
you tell me that you're sorry
didn't think i'd turn around, and say...

that it's too late to apologize
it's too late
i said it's too late to apologize
it's too late

i'd take another chance, take a fall
take a shot for you
and i need you like a heart needs a beat
but it's nothing new - yeah
i loved you with the a fire red -

now it's turning blue, and you say...
"sorry" like an angel
heaven let me think was you
but i'm afraid...

hey, hey...

it's too late to apologize, it's too late
i said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
i said it's too late to apologize, yeah -
i said it's too late to apologize, yeah -
i'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet... off the ground...


it's too late to apologize, it's too late
i said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
i said it's too late to apologize, yeah -
i said it's too late to apologize, yeah -
i'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet... off the ground...

how to have better understanding in class???

I've done some research on how sit place affects your understanding skills in class especially to the class which has a letter-u arrangements like what university mostly have. The fact says that people who sits on the right side will have better understanding and listening skills than what people have on the left side. This is related to the ears that we have. Right ear will do better on listening people speak meanwhile the left ear will do better on listening some note of music. Based on what we know previously, right brain is specialized for art things and creativity and left brain is specialized for something related to math. And in human, left brain controls right side of human meanwhile right brain controls left side of human.
People who sits on the right side of the class, of course will use their right ear a lot more than people who sits on the left side. This means that people who sits on the right side of the class will catch what teachers or lecturers explained better as they can catch more on what teachers and lecturers talking about.
My suggestion.... try to sit on the right side of the class for better skill of understanding and listening.

Window




Our greatest glory isn't in never failing; but in rising every time we fall. By seeing what happened to me in the past two years, this quotation may become the strength that I have to clear all doubt in my mind about the impossible of having a great life. When people could open their mind, they will know that life is beautiful.
One day, in a small village, there was a lady living in a small house. She lived alone and somehow always showing her sad face. When the day was rain, she cried and it also happened when the day was hot. No one in that village knew what happened to her and never asked her until a day when there was an old man came to the village.
He was about 70 years old. When he saw the lady, he puts on his pity on that lady and wondering about what happened to her. Then, he decided to have a visit.
When he got in to her house, he found the lady was sitting in her chair, crying. Then he asked her "What makes you crying in every rain and hot?"
The lady said "I had two daughters, first is a seller of ice cream and the second is a seller of coffee. When the day is raining, I am thinking of my first daughter which will get no money to live as no one will buy an ice cream in rain. When the day is hot, I am thinking of my second daughter which will get no money as no one wants hot coffee if the day is hot. That's what makes me cry in every single time."
Then the old man answered "Now try to think in different ways. When the day is raining, think of your second daughter which will get lots of money as everyone wants to buy her coffee in rain. When the day is hot, think of your first daughter which will get lots of money as everyone wants her ice cream."
Since that moment on, the lady threw out her crying face and turned it in to happy face forever.

Life will always beautiful when we use the right window to see it. When you have a dirty window, you will see everything dirty. But when you have a clean window, you will see everything is wonderful. Something happened whether bad or good is depend on your window, your way to see the thing. When you feel that the world is unfair, want to give up in everything, try to clean up your window and see what a great life you have.

the power of time

There will be no life without time and there will be no time without life!!! time will always need energy from living things to move and living things will always suck the energy from time to live. This support the relativity theory from Einstein. The proof is that : the more people in the world, the faster time is !!! when the population is reaching its maximum capacity, the world will be destroyed by time itself as the energy from people break up the stability of time energy!!! when time is imbalance, the gravity energy will also be unstable and will destroy the earth. When earth explode, the energy of gravity will mix up with time energy and will resulting supernova. this supernova will hit the sun. the sun will of course explode and creating another greater supernova which breaks the stability of the universe. when it happens, the universe will turn to dust and the energy will be sucked in to the black hole!!!

My Experience


Many people wonders about the different of living in science and in social. Science will always resulting one result from many things. In the other hand, social will always resulting many things from a simple word.


I do not want to be a Cheap person!!!

Being cheap is not always good. A week ago, I was planning to be cheap. I planned to get back from choir practice at a private school to dormitory by TransMusi, a kind of public transportation in Palembang city. I was actually had another choice to get back but as I wanted to be cheap, I chose TransMusi instead of Angkot. By TransMusi I only need to pay 3000 rupiah but for angkot, I need to pay 4000 rupiah. 

Exactly at 6 pm, I got in to TransMusi bus and having a long journey to Agung mosque. I stopped there at 6.30 pm and waiting for another TransMusi bus with another colour in a Transit terminal. With arround fifty people, I stood up waiting for the bus for about an hour. A bus come but it was full. I need to wait for another bus again for about half an hour and I got a bus. Luckilly, I still could get in to the bus although it seemed like had no space to breathe. 

I continued my journey passed Ampere bridge. but I could not enjoy my journey in a bus with little chance of breathing. At that time, I prefered breathing instead of enjoying the beautiful view of Ampera Bridge at night. For about 15 minutes, I arrived at another Transit Terminal.

At the Transit Terminal in Plaju, a name of an area in Palembang, I was waiting for the last TransMusi. I had to stand up again but without even a person accompanied me. Sometimes my hairs on my hands were standing up like there was a ghost at the back. For about 20 minutes, a bus came. I was so happy to have the bus. Unfortunately, when I wanted to get in to the bus, the person inside said that the bus would not get in to Jakabaring, a place in palembang where my dormitory is. he said that the bus would go to Kertapati. I thought it was joking but unfortunately he said the truth. Then, I had to find angkot to get back to dormitory.

Another unfortunate thing happened. There was no any Angkot at that night. I was trying to say " all is well... all is well.... all is well..." but the condition was getting worse. So, I decided to walk from that terminal to dormitory and it was not a short disdance. It is arround 10 Kilometers long! then I walk.... walk.... and walk.... and luckily I arrived at dormitory. At the next day, I got sick and could not get in to school. Pretty good experience right ? Because of 1000 rupiah, I had to lose my time, walk for 10 Km long, sick, and lose the lesson.

From that moment on, I do not have any desire to be a cheap person anymore.

Secercah Masa Silam Reformasi

Pada dasarnya, reformasi bertujuan untuk suatu perubahan menjadi lebih baik. Setidaknya itu yang dimaksud oleh Pemerintah Indonesia dalam upaya pembangkitan dari krisis moneter di zaman Pak Harto. Namun nyatanya justru banyak tragedi-tragedi dan masalah-masalah yang timbul dari awal mula dicetuskannya era reformasi sampai sekarang.
Masih ingatkah tragedi di Dili yang menyebabkan Indonesia harus kehilangan Timor Leste? Peristiwa itu merupakan sambutan awal bagi era reformasi di Indonesia. Dibawah kepemimpinan Pak Habibie, Timor Leste berontak dan memutuskan untuk pergi dari pangkuan Bumi Pertiwi. Entah salah siapa tetapi yang jelas peristiwa tersebut cukup membuat Ibu Pertiwi menangis dan membuat reputasi Pak Habibie menjadi amat buruk. Hal itu juga merupakan salah satu faktor turunnya Pak Habibie dari singgahsananya, selain dari faktor kepentingan politik golongan.
            Di masa pemerintahan Gusdur, permasalahan terus berlanjut. Bapak humoris ini dikenal dengan maklumatnya yang secara garis besar menceritakan tentang pembekuan MPR dan DPR yang justru mempercepat kejatuhannya. Amien Rais, selaku ketua MPR saat itu dengan sangat tegas mengecam maklumat yang semula diklaim sebagai dekrit. Pihak MPR dan DPR menganggap maklumat itu sebagai suatu serangan dari Pak Gusdur. Sebagai serangan balik, MPR atas usulan DPR mempercepat Sidang Istimewa MPR sehingga masa jabatan Pak Gusdur pun dipercepat. Mungkin tujuan dari pengeluaran dekrit itu adalah sebagai serangan untuk para oknum yang dengan sengaja mengusahakan agar Pak Gusdur hengkang dari singgahsananya. Namun ternyata dekrit itu atau tepatnya maklumat itu malah berubah menjadi senjata makan tuan. Lagi-lagi kepentingan politik golongan mengkontaminasi sistem pemerintahan di Indonesia. Ditengah konflik politik itu, permasalahan seperti KKN, inflasi, integrasi, dan lain sebagainya seperti terbengkalai dan tidak terselesaikan padahal tujuan dari reformasi itu sendiri adalah untuk menyelesaikan masalah-masalah itu.
            Gusdur berakhir, Megawati berjaya. Akhirnya setelah penantian yang panjang, terlepas dari isu kepentingan politik golongan, Megawati berhasil menduduki jabatan sebagai Presiden Republik Indonesia kelima setelah Gusdur. Megawati mewarisi utang Negara dan krisis ekonomi yang harus diselesaikan. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukannya saat itu ialah menjual Indosat demi membayar utang negara. Terlihat memang upaya itu dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Akan tetapi, Indosat malah jauh berkembang ketika dipegang oleh pihak asing dan justru mendatangkan keuntungan yang lebih ketimbang saat menjadi salah satu BUMN dulu. Namun, hal itu ternyata tidak dapat mengeluarkan Indonesia dari terpaan krisis ekonomi. Belum kelar masalah ekonomi, muncul masalah peneroran yang tiada henti menghujam negeri seribu pulau dengan seribu masalah ini. Hasilnya, pemboman malam natal, pemboman BEJ, Pemboman di Denpasar, dan lain sebagainya. Puncaknya adalah pada peristiwa Denpasar 13 Oktober yang menghadiahkan Indonesia sebuah status “Indonesia adalah sarang Teroris.”  Tuntutan Aceh dan Papua untuk melepaskan diri pun terjadi di era Bu Mega dan belum menemukan titik temu penyelesaian masalah. Bangsa Indonesia saat itu dirundung cemas perihal harus tidaknya Ibu Pertiwi saat itu mengenakan baju hitam lagi seperti yang terjadi pada saat Timor Leste memaksa untuk lepas dari Indonesia.
            Seribu masalah polimerisasi dan isomerasi dari era Bu Mega diwariskan mentah-mentah ke Pak Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono atau lebih dikenal dengan Pak SBY. Kiprahnya di dunia politik memang patut untuk diacungi jempol. Ia berhasil memfungsikan KPK dengan baik. Ia juga berhasil menenangkan gejolak yang timbul dari negeri Aceh dan Papua yang memiliki kesamaan nasib, sama-sama berada di ujung. Namun, Pak SBY tidak luput dari masalah khas dari setiap presiden yang menjabat di Indonesia. Kasus korupsi  Bank Century, Gayus Tambunan, dan sekarang kasus korupsi wisma atlet sampai sekarang belum menemukan titik akhir dan terkesan ditutup-tutupi dengan kasus-kasus yang justru tidak ada kaitannya dengan politik seperti kasus video porno Ariel, kasus Malinda Dee yang pengangkatan payudaranya terkesan lebih penting daripada perkara korupsi yang dilakukannya, dan masih banyak lagi.
            Masalah-masalah yang telah dipaparkan sebelumnya hanyalah sedikit gambaran dari betapa kacaunya Negeri kita saat ini. Kepentingan pribadi nampaknya merupakan biang keladi dari semua masalah yang timbul. Keadaan di Indonesia yang kacau itu diperparah dengan tindakan rakyatnya yang semena-mena melakukan demonstrasi dan kerap menimbulkan anarki. Akibatnya, bukan menyelesaikan masalah malah menimbulkan masalah baru. Jika hal ini terus terjadi, maka Indonesia akan marah pada kita dan meluapkan segala emosinya dengan menimbulkan bencana-bencana seperti tsunami di Aceh, gempa di hampir seluruh wilayah, letusan gunung, dan sekarang diisukan bahwa danau toba yang merupakan bekas letusan dari supervolcano sepuluh ribu tahun lalu akan meletus, juga anak Krakatau yang sempat diisukan akan meletus juga.
            Memang susah untuk mewujudkan cita-cita reformasi dan menyelesaikan masalah-masalah di Indonesia. Namun, dapat dicicil dengan merubah diri sendiri yang semula berorientasi pada uang menjadi sesosok yang cinta Indonesia. Jadikan peristiwa-peristiwa masa lampau sebagai media introspeksi diri demi kemajuan bangsa di masa yang akan datang. Jika tidak dimulai dari sekarang, kapan lagi?
