Mixed emotions.. and CHANGE

Argh....hhhh....yeeee....laaaahhh....grrrr.....ckckck.....yey^^)


^^^^^
Apaan tuh?


Yah, itulah yang gw rasain sekarang... semua rasa bercampur dalam diri....

I don't know who I am or what I stand for anymore.

Emptiness. Akhir" ini koq gw feeling empty banget yah? Kayak saking banyak emosiong yg ada di diri gw, ampe jd kosong (lho?)

Gw juga merasa.. diri gw tuh berubah.. gara" banyak bgt hal yang gw alamin di tahun 2008 yang, kalo gw yang dulu ngeliat, gw bakal bilang "ini kan bukan gw"
Tapi, yah itu yang gw rasakan sekarang. Memang, pengalaman itu betul" menyusun kepribadian kita. Sekarang, hal ini membuat benerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbenerbener bingung. dan itu pula yang membuat gw merasa kosong.

"Jadi, gw sapa dong?"

A Dull Day.

It's been quite a while this vacation..

Somehow I feel empty, like there's something MISSING.

Ah right, a couple of going outs should do the trick. It's been a dull day, being in my house all the time. Wish I could go, yet I haven't done my driving lessons. I wanted to go out, yet I feel sleepy.

This is quite a case of=
DILEMMA.

Kenapa yah orang gak bisa bikin keputusan? Kenapa banyak, orang, tidak bisa membuat keputusan di saat yang genting? Well, I have put some thought to it and I'd like to share my opinion.

Dilemma itu disebabkan orangnya plin-plan. Orangnya emang sifatnya gitu, gak bisa buat keputusan dan, seringkali gak bisa pilih. Tipe orang kayak gini jangan diajakin belanja baju, karena buntut"nya kita yang bakal milihin baju buat dia. Inilah tipe dilemma yang paling dalam, sampai membentuk personality seseorang.

Consequences. Orang gak bisa membuat keputusan karena tidak siap/takut atas konsekuensi yang diterimanya. "You gain some, you lose some". Akibatnya, mereka tak bisa membuat keputusan yang tepat di saat yang tepat.

Think first, do later. Nah, kesannya it's not a problem, memang bukan masalah at first. Tapi, kalo udah parah, saking kebanyakan mikirnya orang seperti ini belum siap mengambil keputusan dan melakukannya. Orang ini terlalu banyak mikir, dan apa yang dipikirkan sebenarnya mungkin udah gak relevan dari masalah yang dihadapinya.

Nah, tipe apakah kamu?

Kalo gw, gw masuk ke think first, do later (eventhough sometimes I do crazy things that I do not think first ^^). Ini betul" gw rasakan kalo gw lg ngerjain ulangan. Terutama, ulangan biologi. Kadang" kalo udah mikir, tuh bisa jauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh banget, sampe" dah gak nyambung dari pertanyaannya. It's because I don't want to have any mistakes, so
I often connect the subject to other subject.

Ini membuat ulangan yang harusnya gw dah selesai dalam 15 menit, selesai dalam 45 menit =D. Dan, seringkali setelah gw mikir sejauh itu masih juga ada yang salah! Jadi kesal sendiri kan, kalo ternyata yang udah bener malah diganti.

Knowledge is something. You can't answer a question if you don't have enough knowledge in it, yet you can have difficulty answering it if you have TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE.
Karena kita tahu kebanyakan, kita seringkali bingung mau pakai yang mana (atau bahasa kerennya, kita tak tahu kapan menggunakan pengetahuan kita). This could backfire easily, as one's way of thinking is different than others. Guru juga seharusnya tidak memaksakan kehendaknya, yang dapat membunuh kreatifitas murid.

Tapi, bukan berarti kita tidak boleh kebanyakan pengetahuan. Kalo gak, semua orang bakal males blajar dong? Terus, gimana caranya biar kita gak bingung ngejawab pertanyaan?
Well, gw yang pernah jawab soal" olimpiade yang bikin otak muter sampe delapan keliling=

KNOWLEDGE is the books, which you keep in a library of your MIND. WISDOM is needed to pick the specific book needed to solve a problem, and LOGIC opens the specific page.
Jadi, jangan menyerah untuk belajar! Karena belajar memperkaya setiap hal, dan sesungguhnya tidak ada yang sia-sia dalam belajar. Menang-kalah hanya julukan, tapi pengetahuan gak bisa dicabut dari dirimu!

End of Semester Exam, End of our world.

It seems that Penabur is getting crazier and crazier.

*sigh*

Hei guys, thanks for coming by. Today, as you all might have noticed, I'm gonna talk about my school, concerning the End of Semester Exam (ingat ulum?). The 5 Bushes has always push their students to the limit of their potential (which is supposed to be good). Well, they THINK that students have to be prepared, in order to be succesful as students become well-grown person. This way of thinking is not bad, even insightful. Yet the methods they use in order to realize that are wrong.


I mean, WHAT are they thinking? They give us exams that we can't ace at all, yet they don't provide a way to fix our marks at the Semester Exams. How do this, HELPS students? They don't realize that by giving us tremendously hard exams, they are lowering their own school mark, which is counted by the mean of student's scores. Why do they give us hellish exams?

Today, I woke up at 5.30 to get ready for school. I left home at 6.15, then arrived at school at 6.45-ish. After I arrived at school, I sat at the floor, opened my folder, and continued studying for Physics Final Test. When the bell rang at 7.15, I knew that I could do this exam well.

However, when I first looked at the multiple choices question, i realized "This ain't gonna be easy". The multiple choices, are not really that hard, however considering the time limit provided, we have to race with time. There are 40 multiple choices question and 5 essays due for 2 straight hours. THE TIME IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!

Mimin quoted "I have just answered 20 multiple choises." in the last 15 minutes of test.
Mr. Sidharta quoted "There are 3 multiple choices questions that aren't provided with correct answers, or is impossible to find the correct answer."edited at 8;49 P.M.

This is too hard, my teachers! Give us a break, will you? We aren't robots, we are students, we are human, like you are. You should consider our skills is not at par with you, so next time when you make exams, consider this three simple suggestion
1. MAKE IT SHORTER, OR LENGTHEN THE TIME LIMIT!
2. MAKE IT EASIER AND SIMPLER!
3. PLEASE, FOR THE MULTIPLE CHOICES, PROVIDE THE CORRECT CHOICE.

Again, *sigh*...

First post

Yup, here I am.. Trying to become a better person (halah)

Akhirnya, dari kemaren" ngebet blogging, terjadi juga!
Hopefully this will last longer than the previous ones
(Semua mati dalam kurun waktu mingguan....)

Well, what can I say? My life is too hectic, wish I could get out of it. However, at the same time I love my life! Confusing, huh? Gw juga gak tahu lifestyle orang laen, jadi buat apa ganti lifestyle? Tapi yah, namanya juga hidup emang harus dijalanin kan? Parahnya, kadang" sampe ngelupain temen".... Turun ke dalam problemanya sendiri sampe orang lain dikacangin... hhhhhhhhhh

Sorry guys, next time I won't do that again!

Oh right, hari ini adalah hari terakhir penuh dengan kesenangan dan hiburan. Besok adalah awal mula ULANGAN UMUM. ULANGAN UMUM (selanjutnya disingkat ulum) adalah suatu tradisi yang dilakukan di sekolah Indonesia, dan terutama di SMAK 5 Penabur. Namun terdapat cara-cara baru untuk tahun ini. Tahun ini, TIDAK ADA REMEDIAL untuk ulum. Gila! Kasian banget dah bagi yang sering remed, mereka terpaksa dijerat oleh buku-buku pelajaran dan catatan setiap malamnya...

Kalo gw? Untung gw bukan orang yang rajin remed.... Tapi tetep aja, anything can happen. Masa gw diem aja males-malesan (padahal daritadi maen terus) mengetahui besok ulum?
Nanti gw nyesel sendiri, padahal bisa tapi karena gak belajar jadi gagal. Makanya, gw harus berjuang biar dapet nilai bagus!

Besok adalah ulangan umum Biologi dan Bahasa Indonesia. Biologi itu pelajaran kesukaan gw, berhubungan dengan cita" gw sih! Jadi sebenernya biologi tuh entah kenapa mudah diingat ama gw, jadi I haven't had any problem memorizing it (I'll talk about that subject later). Bahasa Indonesia nih masalahnya. Apa coba, frasa, kutipan, resensi, sampai makalah bab I & II! Itu dia yang bakal membuat gw begadang semaleman...


Ngga disangka, gw tuh dah banyak banget ngomong buat first post ini. Yah, dengan begini gw bisa belajar deh! Until next time!
