hai sobat.. udah lama banget rasanya nggak buka blog ini. aku masih ingat kenapa aku buat akun ini. iya, semata mata karna tugas dari guru bahasa inggris jaman sma dulu yg mewajibkan muridnya buat punya blog. but, mungkin sekarang fungsi blog ini udah berbeda dengan yg dulu. dulu cuma sebatas buat posting tugas aja. tapi sekarang, aku pengen berbagi banyak hal disini. 
sobat, udah satu tahun aku meninggalkan bangku sma dan kuliah disini. tapi entah kenapa rasanya ada sesuatu yang kurang. aku rindu sobat dengan yang dulu dulu. rasanya ingin kembali ke masa itu. kalau dilihat mungkin masa masa itu sungguh sangat biasa dan tak menarik dibandingkan dengan kisah2 orang lain. tapi bagi ku itu adalah masa dimana aku menemukan aku sendiri. dimana aku merasakan banyak hal yang ternyata sangat bermanfaat dikehidupanku sekarang. aku sempat menyesal kenapa dulu aku selalu mengeluh. tapi sekarang aku tau kenapa itu semua harus terjadi kepada ku. aku tak bisa menceritakan satu per satu apa yang terjadi kan?
ini pesenku ya sobat.. jangan pernah negthink sama Tuhan. karna Tuhan selalu menyayangi kita melebihi apa pun. dan semua yang terjadi adalah atas ijinNYA. baik ataupun buruk semua selalu ada hikmahnya. 
dan untuk ku sekarang.. ayo semangat.. jangan menyerah.. masa depan masih panjang. :) kejar impian mu pin ! jangan takut.. :)

National exam becomes the hot topic in most of discussions. Though the Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by the go-vernment on the organization of the national exams, the controversy over whether it is necessary to maintain the national exams (UN) has continued. Some debates include the primary questions such as; does the quality of Indonesia education depend on the national exam?, will the quality of the Indonesian education system worsen without natipnal exam?

People, who support the national exam explain that the quality of the Indonesia education system will drop without the national exam, so they try to defend the current system.



However there are people who disagree with the opinion. Those who against this national exam kept in our high school education say that it doesn't need the national exams because the quality of education does not just depend on the national exam. Further, the national exam only measures a small portion of students' competence in specific subjects, and does not measure students' competences throughout the semester.

In fact, the national examination can still be useful as an instrument to evaluate or detect the level of students' cognitive competence in several subjects, on a national scale.



A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.

A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite while the second stream goes under the kite.

The upper stream creates an area of low pressure above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area of high pressure.

The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.

Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific purposes. Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.

Lutung Kasarung

Folklore from West Java
PRABU Tapa Agung was an old king. He had two daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. Prabu Tapa Agung planned to retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari to replace him as the leader of the kingdom. Hearing this, Purbararang was angry.

"You cannot ask her to be the queen, Father. I'm older than she is. It's supposed to be me, not her!" said Purbararang. But the king still chose Purbasari to be the next queen.

Purbararang then set a bad plan with her fiance, Indrajaya. Together they went to a witch and asked her to put a spell on Purbasari. Later, Purbasari had bad skin. There were black dots all over her body.

"You are not as beautiful as I am. You cannot be the queen. Instead, you have to leave this palace and stay in a jungle," said Purbararang.

Purbasari was very sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle. Everyday she spent her time playing with some animals there. There was one monkey that always tried to cheer her up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had magical power. And he also could talk with humans. The monkey's name was Lutung Kasarung. He was actually a god. His name was Sanghyang Gurumina. Lutung Kasarung planned to help Purbasari. He made a small lake and asked her to take a bath there. Amazingly, her bad skin was cured. Now she got her beautiful skin back.

After that, she asked Lutung Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace. Purbararang was very shocked. She knew she had to come up with another bad idea. She then said, "Those who have longer hair will be the queen."

The king then measured his daughters' hair. Purbasari had longer hair. But Purbararang did not give up. "A queen must have a handsome husband. If my fiance is more handsome than yours, then I will be the queen," said Purbararang.

Purbasari was sad. She knew Purbararang's fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And she did not have a fiance yet. "Here is my fiancé, Indrajaya. Where is yours?" asked Purbararang. Lutung Kasarung came forward. Purbararang was laughing very hard. "Your fiance is a monkey, ha ha ha."

Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung changed into a very a handsome man. He was even more handsome than Indrajaya. Purbasari then became the queen. She forgave Purbararang and her fiance and let them stay in the palace.

Allah itu maha mengetahui apa yang terbaik buat kita,
Kadang Dia akan memberi kesusahan untuk menguji kita,
Kadang Dia pun melukai hati,
agar hikmatnya bisa tertanam dalam.

jika kita kehilangan cinta,
maka pasti ada alasan di baliknya,
alasan yang kadang sulit dimengerti,
namun kita tetap harus percaya,
bahwa jika Dia mengambil sesuatu,
Dia telah siap memberi yang lebih baik... :)
