"itb banget "

"itb banget" sebenernya sebuah style yg bisa keliatan dari cewek-cewek itb. Kalo tinggal di Bandung mungkin banyak yg bisa ngebedain mana yg anak itb mana yg anak unpad.

Pertanyaan yg terlintas adalah : Gimana sih cewek yg itb banget?
jawabannya adalah : Pake kaos simple+jeans+sepatu kets dan yang paling penting : backpack

Simple nya kalo typical cewek itb itu ga banyak dandan, yang penting berangkat kuliah, belajar, ngerjain tugas, dapet nilai. kalo cewek unpad, biasanya ke kampus dandan, baju matching, sepatu pake wedges atau apaupun bukan sepatu kets, pake handbag. ada cerita2 yang aneh tentang itb banget:

>Tukang angkot aja tau
Kalo dari arah Dago atas, angkot yg lamgsung lurus ke itb cuma ada jurusan stasion-dago. sisanya lewat Dipatiukur dulu. nah kalo pagi, jam berangkat kuliah ada beberapa angkot kalapa-dago yg ga lewat DU kalo dia mau ngangkut anak itb. biasanya si abang angkot ngetem kalo ada calon penumpang yg lagi jalan. dan kalo misalnya si abang angkot ini berniat buat ga lewat DU, dia pasti melihat cewek dg tipikal ITB banget dan teriak, "ayo neng ITB neng". dan hampir selalu benar si abang angkot yg menebak itu mahasiswi itb atau bukan

>Tukang pijet aja tau
cerita yg ini gw dapet dari temen gw yg temennya lagi pengen nyobain pijet di kamar kosannya. pas si tukang pijet masuk kamar si mahasiswi ITB, si tukang pijet langsung ngomong "Anak ITB ya mbak?" si mahasiswi langsung kaget dan tanya "lho kok tau? padahal ga ada amal atau sesuatu yg berbau itb." Dan si tukang pijet bilang "kalo anak unpad, dikamarnya banyak handbag, sepatunya macem2, sama bajunya banyak dress. kalo kamar mbak kan banyak bukunya, sepatunya sedikit dan lemarinya isinya kebanyakan kaos -____-

Segregate your worlds!

Hidup itu ga pernah lempeng, pasti ada aja masalah yg menghadang. Entah galau, kesel, BT, marah, bosen or other bad emotions yang pasti bikin kita down habis itu malah bikin hidup berantakan. Yet, we can't let those problem flow and make you take irrational decision, keputusan yg irasional yg menghancurkan rencana kedepan yanng biasanya berakhir dengan penyesalan. Bahkan semua Government hampir selalu melarang warga nya untuk melakukan sesuatu yg merupakan hak tetapi berdasarkan ketidakrasionalan misalnya bunuh diri, aborsi, euthanasia, and so on. Untuk mencegah gw mengambil keputusan terburuk dengan alasan tidak rasional gw mulai membagi dunia gw sehingga jika ada kekacauan di satu sektor, gw bisa mundur dan menenangkan diri sebelum ngambil keputusan untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Mundur untuk menang.
and there are my worlds:

1. World of Academic
Kuliah. Dunia yg defaultnya kehidupan gw yg dominan. Isinya ya belajar, PR, ujian, FTTM dan sosialisasi dengan temen" kuliah lah. Kehidupan di ITB keras bgt buat masalah akademik. nilai gw belakangan ga bagus, kalah saingan sama temen lah, atau gimana lah. Sering bgt down kalo nilai gw jeblok belakangan ini. efeknya jadi malah males belajar, ga ada semangat, even pengen loncat dari lantai 4 GKU Timur.

2. World of Tokusatsu (Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, etc)
Mainan dan film. ini lah yg paling sering jadi pelarian gw dikala dunia yg lain tak bersahabat. mainan adalah hal yg setia mengusir rasa galau atau sebagai mood booster dikala kacau balau. kalo lagi kesel ya beli mainan baru atau nonton film power ranger/kamen rider. paling gak gw bisa lebih tenang dalam mengambil keputusan di dunia yg lain. dunia ini paling simpel dan emang melepaskan sifat childish gw terhadap rangers or rider. emang masalahnya biasanya dunia ini yg paling menguras kantong. FYI, gw sering puasa jajan buat nabung beli mainan :p
anyway impian gw juga sebenernya ada disini. Step 1 mimpi gw adalah jd Petroleum Engineer, gw ppengen jadi kaya dulu. Step 2, setelah kaya, gw pengen beli saham nya Bandai, yg menguasai copyright dari mainan" Power Rangers dan Kamen Rider :D

3. World of Debatopia
Debate. Hal yg paling sering gw lakuin dari SMA. dulu gw sominan menghabiskan waktu dengan lomba atau latian debate. Hal yg sangat menyenangkan dan merupakan Hobi gw. Gw punya banyak temen se-Indonesia dari debate. uang juga sering mengalir dari sini. Like everything taht I want is available in this tiny world. disini orang nya semua berpikiran terbuka dan I can talk everything without scare anyone would see me as weird. Para debaters sendiri memiliki pemikiran yg luas sampe kadang" orang" konservatif menentang, sehingga kita sering menyebut non-debaters sebagai 'muggle' because they are different from us.
Gw down disini kalo gw ngerasa kemampuan gw udah menurun dan orang lain jauh diatas gw. kadang gw merasa ga berguna disini ataupun gw ngerasa gw punya kemampuan yg lebih yg bikin tim gw kalah.

4. World of Love
*ehm* relationship. pacaran dan segala hal yg berhubungan. dunia paling unyu yg gw punya. she never complain when I text her late. she understand me when I don't have much time for her. She know how to treat me and try to accept what I am in status quo. Ya, intensitas gw ketemu dia ga sesering pasangan pada umumnya. smsan tiap hari rata" diatas jam stengah 9 sampe jam 10. Belajar dulu baru smsan. terdengar cuek namun inilah yg kami alami dan kami nikmati. Jarak dan waktu bukan masalah ketika ada pengertian disana. Tidak perlu semua orang tau seperti apa hubungan kami karena hubungan itu hanya antara kami berdua.

Well, those are my worlds that have saved me from being irrational and recover faster. Misalnya ada masalah dalam debate, gw merasa ga nyaman dan pengen mundur saat itu juga, gw lari ke dunia tokusatsu. belanja mainan dan nonton film sampe tenang, lalu kembali menyelesaikan masalah di dunia debate.
Tujuan dari segregasi ini adalah profesional. memisahkan masalah pribadi dan masalah formal. you have not only 1 world so you can migrate to other world for temporary to make you feel better than solve it in the end. Because from now on, every step of mine should be along with responsible. Wish you can segregate your world to recover from your pain then be stronger to face any problem that come!

so proud to be part of FTTM ITB 2010

Jika ada yg bertanya "apa yg membuat kamu bangga masuk ITB?" gw bakal jawab "gw bangga masuk ITB karena gw menjadi bagian dari FTTM 2010!"

sungguh gw baru mengerti apa yg namanya "arogansi fakultas" di ITB. terdengar sangat buruk, namun ternyata makna dibalik itu adalah sebuah kebanggaan akan Fakultas dimana lu bernaung. Ketika lu harus kompak se-Fakultas buat nunjukin kalo Fakultas lu kompak dan asik bgt. Ini adalah satu budaya yang bikin ITB rame.

Acara Semarak 2010 yang isinya acara angkatan 2010 menunjukan eksistensi dari FTTM 2010.
iya, kita ga menang apa", cuma dapet salah satu performer terbaik, namun ada yg lebih baik. Tapi at least kita udah nunjukin kalo kita adalah salah satu faktor yg bikin acara ini rame. kita jadi penonton yg atraktif dan bikin rame didepan panggung *ehm* kalo yg perform cewek.
Banyak yg bilang kalo perform nya FTTM kemaren itu orisinil, keren dan mengejutkan. Pertama 10 org cowok dg baju koko dan sarung serta bertopeng masuk ke area perform dengan tujuan nari saman. mereka masuk dan duduk seperti penari saman pd umum nya. lalu tiba" mereka dikelilingi oleh para penari kecak yg membentuk 2 lapis lingkaran. penari kecak ber-cak-cak-ria lalu membuat gerakan duduk (masih dalam formasi melingkari penari saman bertopeng) dan mereka berbaring di tanah. lalu saman menunjukan atraksi nya. setelah saman selesai beratraksi, penari kecak kembali bangun dan membuat lingkaran yg rapatsambil bercak-cak-ria lagi dan tiba"... DHUAAR.. suara musik menggelegar, penari kecak mundur ke belakang dan jatuh terduduk. para penari saman bertopeng telah berganti kostum menjadi..POMPOM BOYS!
and the show was going on triumph of crowd. kocak! Keren! dan Paling berbeda!


Kami tampil dengan kaos angkatan yg pada saat itu hanya kami yg menggunakannya. terlihat kompak. dan ketika ada performer yg ada *ehm* cewek cantik, kita langsung maju kedepan dan langsung menjadi penonton yg paling heboh dengan meneriakan berbagai yel, joget dangdut, sampai mendukung performer yg cantik! ketika kami tak ada di panggung, panggung terlihat sepi. That was the great day because at least we can show who's the boss!

Cerita lain mengenai FTTM adalah : KAMI RASIS! tapi ketika ada toleransi semua tidak jadi masalah. Ras cina, jawa, batak, dll sering sering menjadi humor tetapi tidak terlalu parah, ejekan singkat mengenai keberagaman Indonesia. Bukan kah Indonesia menarik karena keberagaman itu? Kami beragam dan kami menikmati nya. karena setiap ras memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing".

FTTM 2010 juga memiliki perbedaan dengan fakultas bahkan angkatan manapun. Kami memiliki 3 pemimpin: 1 ketua dan 2 wakil. Pemilihan ketua angkatan yg kami lakukan berdasarkan diskusi dan kesepakatan seluruh anggota forum.jika ada 1 org yg tidak setuju, maka keputusan ini akan batal (seperti sistem unanimous decision di European Union). pemilihan ketua berlangsung alot. sampai memakan waktu sekitar 6 jam untuk memilih (tadinya) 1 ketua dan 1 wakil, namun karena persaingan sangat ketat dan kandidat sama" kuat, kami setuju untuk memiliki 1 ketua dan 2 wakil. awalnya saya kira ini akan bermasalah, namun ternyata kerja sang pemimin sangatlah luar biasa. mereka mampu membagi tugas dan menyelesaikan masalah dengan baik sesuai dengan karakter memereka masing". Here are the leaders :

KETUA ANGKATAN FTTM 2010:
Sumbranang Ida Bgs Gede
anak Bali. karakter nya cenderung pendiam tetapi dia dapat mengatur segala sesuatu dg baik. Orasi nya kurang bagus, namun ide nya sangat tajam dan dapat mengajak orang lain untuk terlibat. Sum adalah seperti Diplomat, dapat menjalin hubungan yg baik dengan fakultas lain dan menegosiasikan segala sesuatu dengan baik. disamping itu, Sum juga rajin mampus, nilai bagus, dan stamina paling kuda se-FTTM. lari keliling sabuga 6x cuma ngabisin waktu 9 menit 5detik.
Kemampuannya terbukti dengan terpilihnya dia sebagai Ketua dari acara angkatan 2010, Semarak. ia menjadi ketua panitia dengan cara diskusi dari seluruh ketua angkatan 2010. Ia juga mampu mengajak anakk FTTM untuk aktif dalam acara ini sehingga kami terlihat kompak dalam menjalankan acara ini.

WAKIL KETUA ANGKATAN FTTM 2010 :

Tesla Muhammad Abduh
Wakil yg yg ras nya sunda memiliki tipe nya dekat dengan anggota nya dan gampang bergaul. tugasnya mengkoordinir anak FTTM tiap kegiatan, ketika Sum (sering) ga ada (karena urusan diplomasi atau ngurus acara). Tesla mengkoordinir perform FTTM di semarak dan dia yg memutuskan perform nya gabungan kecak saman pompom. dia bisa ngebentuk tim buat ngurusin acara ini. Tesla care ke anggota nya.

Dias Anugerah Massewa
Wakil ini anak jakarta lulusan SMAN 8 Jkt. Dia orang nya sangat Fleksibel, bisa buat diplomasi dan ngurusin anggota ke bawah. pas pemilihan ketua angkatan ada pendukung nya yg bilang kalo dia lulusan 8, maka pasti bisa ngadepin masalah dan itu terbukti. Dias nilai"nya cukup bagus dan dia emang tergolong gaul sama anak" FTTM. acara semarak dia bantuin Sum jadi panitia, pas acara Bubar FTTM, dia yg nyediaiin tempat buat kita bubar di rumah nya.

well, perjalanan gw sama anak" FTTM baru aja di mulai. semoga kedepannya ntar banyak euphoria sama anak" FTTM lainnya. Sayang nya gw ga bisa nyebutin semua anak FTTM karena mereka semua punya karakter unik masing" . semua udah menjadi komponen dan punya peranannya masing" di FTTM!

"..Masa depan cemerlang, Gajinya miliaran, kalaukau FTTM tepuk Tangan!"

Instict? Feeling? Sixth Sense?

terkadang sesuatu yang terlintas dipikiran gw tiba" terjadi.
dulu gw bilang sering dapet feeling dan itu terjadi. tapi, emang kebanyakan hal yg terjadi itu hal-hal yg tidak menentukan, ga significant dalam hidup gw. yah, just for fun aja..

mungkin contoh yg terjadi dalam beberapa hari belakangan ini adalah :
1. terlintas seseorang dalam pikiran gw
ini adalah kejadian yg paling sering. Jadi gw ga lagi mikirin seseorang itu, ga liat foto orang tersebut, tapi secara aneh ada hal yg kompleks dan tiba" pikiran gw menghubungkan kejadian/hal itu kepada seseorang yg tiba" aja terlintas di pikran gw secara tidak unconscious.
alam sadar gw secara reflek akan bertanya : "eh, apa kabar ya orang ini?"
dan tiba" beberapa jam kemudian orang ini sms gw. (sabtu, 30 November 2010)
well, pola seperti ini bervariasi. paling sering begitu ada seseorang yg terlintas dipikiran gw, berarti akan ada cerita/kabar dengan orang ini tak lama kemuadian. kadang langsung, bebrapa jam, atau beberapa hari kemudian. contoh lain gw tiba" terlintas temen SD gw yg gw ga tau dia dimana. beberapa jam kemudian, dia add FB gw. ada juga yg kadang" terlintas dipikiran gw, ternyata beberapa saat kemudian, temen gw langsung ngomongin orang tersebut, padahal gw ga nyebut si orang tersebut.
Emang sih ga penting, karena ga pernah orang yg terlintas dipikiran gw meninggal/kecelakaan. cuma hal" yg ringan aja.

2. Terlintas suatu prediksi kejadian
alur lintasan di pikiran gw sama kayak yg pertama. tapi kalo yg ini biasanya kayak kalo kita lagi ngobrol terus ngomong "eh, jangan-jangan ntar ....."
contoh nyata pas 31Oktober 2010, gw lagi nungguin paket mainan gw. ada 2 mainan yg gw pesen : coin MMPR dari Amerika, sama Belt Kamen Rider W yg gw pesen dari temen di Jakarta.
coin MMPR itu udah gw pesen lebih dari sebulan yg lalu. bahkan gw pikir barang itu ga nyampe karena emang sering terjadi International shipping dari seller ga nyampe. sedangkan 4 hari yg lalu gw pesen Belt dari temen gw yg di jakarta, dan barang itu harusnya sampai dalam waktu maks. 3 hari.
tapi pas udah pas hari ke 3, tiba" terlintas "jangan-jangan barang gw ug dari amerika bakal sampe duluan nih daripada beltnya". dan beberapa menit kemudian ada sms dari seller belt yg di Jakarta. dia bilang kalo belom sempat ngirim belt nya karena istrinya lagi melahirkan, jadi beberapa hari lagi baru dikirim. ajaibnya, sejam kemudian ada kurir JNE yg datang dan membawakan paket coin dari amerika buat gw. wew.

hal ini udah sering bgt terjadi berkali" sampe gw lupa apa aja kejadiian kayak gini. semoga hal ini adalah berkah. amin

Grand Final Euphoria 2009, SMA dwiwarna

shame, we lost embarrassingly in Final. we don't realize how suck the final was, yet it is really shame when we knew about it. Wrong direction, Bad packaging, and lame justification (at that time even we didn't know what justification is)
When we asked for assessment one of the adjudicator come and offered himself to coach us

His name is Ahmad Naufal Da'i from UI and he started to coach us.
Thursday, February 26th 2009 was our very first meeting. It was the day that we have dreamed about. because since English Club was established in my school, even when its name was SMAN 1 Serpong (well known as SMAN 1 Cisauk and Now SMAN 2 Tangerang Selatan) we haven't had any coach but seniors. and we were a conventional debaters, means we just join a competition when we got the invitation yet we were noone at that time in debating. Yes, our seniors have joined ISDC as representative of Banten due to it has lack of experienced debaters (or even all conventional debaters at that time).
He came bring nothing but Magic. at the first meeting he explained the basic of debating that we don't know. he explain how to make a good elaboration, how to set the case and how to rebuttal other arguments. Just one meeting he successfully bring Champion title to us in ED.com (see my post about ED.com). we successfully beaten CC, Smukie bandung, even the host 14 Jakarta whose were all 3rd graders. we got some compliment from adju about our elaboration. We really grateful has a coach
Later on he successfully give us
5 champions
7 runner-up
3 3rd winner
last but not least help Salsa and Detta Grabbing Gold Medal in ISDC for top 15 bestspeakers.
achievements for himself is more awesome. He won Founders Trophy 2009, IVED 2009, also runner-up NUEDC 2010 and many others.

Yet that are not the only thing that make me respect him. although he looks messy and awkward outside he has one admirable attitude that maybe only few people know about it. He struggle to coach us. FYI from Depok to my school takes at least 2 hours with train. And he has to take 2 trains and transit in Stasiun Jakarta kota. Everytime he coach us he has to trough long way and takes a lot of time but his payment isn't as that much. He always said that his objection to coach isn't money but it is for himself. We really enjoy having coach like him. we weren't just training but also having fun. Recent training has an interesting pattern. we spend 10 hours for training *ehm* 6 hours for the real training and 4 hours to have fun. usually we go to cinema or Karaoke.

Every meeting has its end. Naufal step down from coach position since my junior lost in Binus e comp 2010. Actually there is a promise betweeen them. Naufal would step down if they didn't make it as champion and they didn't. Shit sometimes happens.
But nothing to be grieve about. We shouldn't sad because it end, yet we should feel happy because we have meet even so short..
Greatest thanks should be given to you, Legend!

SEF ITB, my new Home in Debatopia

morning in 1st September 2010,
a Message that come into my cellphone enough to make me jump and scream like a girl. I was accepted in Student English Forum ITB!
After through 3 meetings of initiation program, compete with 290 candidates now another target has been accomplished. Sure it's not an end. It is the beginning of new world for me.
Another level of debatopia just unlocked. It's a varsity level! Let me review what happened in the initiation program.

day-1
The first meeting of SEF. all candidates was separated into 8 small groups. Each group was accompanied by one or two mentor(s). my mentor was Marsha. we got a job to pick 2 Brands that we like or dislike and we have to convince the others to feel the same on that Brand. we were given 1 minute to explain why we like/dislike that brand. This is a fun initiation program because you might find vary reason of liking/disliking a brand. sometimes there are some people who explain brands that compete each other. for example (in my group) one people chosen McD and the other choose KFC. it led to a conspiracy debate behind both brands. I was taking Power Ranger as my Brand :p I explain how good power rangers as our role model due to 2 reasons. 1st they are college students just like us yet they can manage their time well so they can juggle between study and fight. the 2nd they have influence all over the world. everyone (who have happy childhood) They must know about power rangers!
The Thing that we can take from this program was How to convince people. In debate we have to convince the adjudicators about the case that we brought.

day-2
Again we were separated into small group. But the task was different. we were in case of almost-sinking-ship and there just one Life Jacket. So, we had to take role as character that have been mentioned by our mentor. we can picked one from the list given. there were names such Ariel peterporn, Lady Gaga, Tiger woods, Megawati, Adam Lambert, etc. actually it was the day when Grand Final PEDC was held, right beside ITB (sabuga). so i couldn't enjoy it very much. (I did enjoy the Final and after-Final-Party in PEDC, that I described in my previous post Debatopia: World of debating)
The thing comes from this program was how we analyze nature and character of something and compare it to another to prove which one is the best.
There was another task in that day. We were given a paper written some case and we have to justify the action was done in that case.There were question about Genocide, Right of the defendant, gay marriage,etc. It was the test for how we justify something

day-3
Last day of initiation. Again we were separated into small groups and we have groups discussion and some modified-debating-system. 3 groups debated in a match but despite having opp-gov team we consider team from stakeholders. so in the motion of Corporal punihment, there are 3 stakeholders consist of Parents who agree of it, Parent who don't agree and Teacher who agree. But before the discussion was started, all HS debaters was called and notified to be more silent in the discussion in order to let non-HS debaters think and show their skill.
The point of this program was how we see a case from one stakeholder point of view and other point of view.

well, It just a beginning of New Level in Debatopia. I have opened its gate and The first destination that I saw is NEWBIE COMPETITION!
wish me luck guys

Debatopia : world of debating

"Paradise is real. a Paradise called Debatopia has given its brightest color in my Life "

Middle August, 2010

I have been student of ITB yet i haven't officially joined in SEF (student English Forum) ITB,(since the selection is in process), means I haven't had any affiliation in any debating entity.
As a highschool debaters, I have joined 20 debating competitions in 3 years. 11 trophies has been achieved from 4 champion, 5 runner-up and 2 3rd winner. my first HS debate competition was 3 days after student initiation and my last HS competition was 2 weeks after graduation. I have joined competitions in Tangerang, Jakarta, Depok, Bogor, and Jogjakarta. I've ride becak, becak motor, ojeg, angkot, bus kota, transjakarta, ecomony train, AC train, Executive Train, even Airplane to go to competitons..

one day, Phyxious English Debating Competition (PEDC), one of the biggest Highschool competition in Bandung, was held in Smukie bandung 18th-21st of August and my Juniors (Dito, Opi and Wieda) joined that competition and stay in my dorm.well, it kinda force me to be responsible for them in Bandung. Then I decided to skip my lecture then accompany them since the 2nd day of PEDC. and since i haven't got my adju accre, I decided to be trainee adju. actually I intended to have fun with bangkoters 2010 and meet some debaters :p
Then, I feel like have crossed another dimension and arrived in Debatopia, world of debating, where everyone have same interest in debating and have fun together. I spend 3 days full of debating in the day and hanging out in the evening with debaters from smukie, CC, 81, and Albertus. They are great friends! in the day of closing, I had to attend the 2nd initiation program of SEF in the morning then in the afternoon I watched Grandfinal of PEDC where SMA Albertus met SMAN 5 Bandung, in the motion "THW forcefully take Israel's leader to ICC". It was a tough debate i think. Albertus as gov made a very well justification yet has lame and unfeasible practical proposal. 5Bandung came with negative case but successfully tackled down gov's proposal. In the end the winner is

Winner : SMAN 5 Bandung A
1st runner-up : SMA Albertus Malang
2nd runner-up : SMAN 2 Tangsel

then Pieter, 3rd speaker of SMA Albertus, fulfilled his promise that is he would take off his pants if he could make to the Final

after the announcement, we managed to hang out to Ciwalk. we had dinner there (with occupying almost all Es teller 77), gossiping and taking picture. After that we played Mafia in Ciwalk! we played it until late night then security ask me to go due to the mall is gonna be closed soon. yet it didn't hinder us from having fun, WE MOVED TO McD! We continued playing Mafia on the floor of McD until 2.00 am because we knew that it was our last Day in PEDC Debatopia. after that night we gonna back to Muggle world, back to ordinary daily life..

"The door to Debatopia's PEDC has been closed. We're waiting in the muggle world the time when another door to Debatopia open and bring us to the another journey"

epilogue 2 : Bilingual Class

Pertama masuk SMAN 1 Cisauk sebagai kelas bilingual angkatan pertama, adalah hal mewaarnai kehidupan highschool gw. we have through 3 years of highschool together just like a family. kelas kita 3 tahun ga pernah diacak, tetapi emang setiap taun ada "tradisi" kehilangan satu teman yg pindah. pas naik ke kelas 2 Alana pindah ke SMAN 70 dg alasan adek nya mau sekolah di jakarta dan dia disuruh nemenin. naik ke kelas 3 giliran Gama yang harus pindah ke virginia karena mengikuti AFS. jadi pada saat kelas 1 ada 25 org siswa bilingual dan ketika lulus hanya ada 23 orang yg "bertahan". lets recall what i've experienced in 3 years.
Pertama kali masuk mabis, kabnyakan dari anak" bilingual ini adalah lulusan dari patex, jd gw ga terlalu canggung. we were starting to know each other. Fandi masih aneh, Gama masih sangat pendiem, kiki masih gendut (emang gendut terus) dan lain-lain. tahun awal kita masih dibuai sama janji" palsu sekolah yg mau buat kelas 2 bahasa yg ideal padahal ujung"nya bahasa inggris cuma bahasa selingan doang. keadaan kelas juga ga memungkinkan buat ngobrol sehari-hari pake bahasa inggris karena canggung.
akhirnya setelah tiga tahun..... JENG JEEEENG. bahasa inggris cuma di pake kalo ulangan doang -_____-
sejujurnya gw menyesal harus membayar mahal cuma buat fasilitas doang.
But i don't regret classmate that i got. Sejelek-jeleknya mereka, mereka masih bisa di ejekin. hahaha..
3 taun sekelas kita udah saling mengenal sampe busuk"nya tiap anak. Kita sering berantem"an tapi sering saling membantu. Kadang ejek"an tapi ulangan kita bersatu. oops.
terlalu banyak cerita dikelas ini yang ga mungkin gw tulis semua di blog ini.
pada taun pertama, kelas ini berasa saingan terus. ga ada yg namanya contek mencontek bersama. paling juga si Ajeng, yg kelas 1 semesteran pertama kali pake contekan terus ketauan sama bu Saleha terus langsung di semprot bahkan sampe jadi omongan guru" di ruang guru. tapi seiring berjalannya waktu, setiap semesteran ada "briefing pagi" untuk membahas "rautan-serutan" dan pos-posnya. sebuah strategi matang menghadapi kejamnya ulangan. jadi setiap expertis dari setiap pelajaran akan menjadi 'pos' atau sumber jawaban. dimana tugas mereka adalah meletakan jawaban mereka pada rautan yg tersedia. nanti yg butuh bantuan tinggal menyebut kata kunci 'rautan' lalu semua berhasil. sebenernya ada 2 kata kunci yg kami miliki 'rautan' dan 'pengserut' kalo 'rautan' untuk meminta jawaban, maka 'pengserut' hanya untuk minta rautan tanpa kunci.
Kejadian yg pasti akan diingat adalah saat kelas 2 bikin drama. tugas akhir pelajaran kesenian kita harus membuat drama sekelas dan ditonton oleh penonton dari kelas lain. ketika itu kami mengambil tema kisah cinta pemuda pribumi dengan gadis kompeni. namun yg menjadikan itu pengalaman menarik adalah prosesnya. kami sempat bertengkar karena tidak kompaknya kelas kami, namun akhirnya kami dapat kompak saat ngerjain nada yg ulang tahun. Nada adalah anak paling pendiam di kelas. kita mengerjainya sampai dia nangis kejer. kalo diinget" kasian juga nada saat itu :p
lalu ada proyek pentas musik. kita serasa Highschool musical bgt. tapi kita ada beberapa lagu kita menampilkan koreo terus kita lypsync aja. diakhir pentas itu saat yang mengharukan karena itu pentas terakhir kami bersama gama sebelum ia pindah setahun ke virginia.
senior year yang tinggal 23 orang, kita udah puncak busuk"nya kelas. ad3 ota 'perang biling' di twitter yaitu perang ejek"an dengan membuat Retweet palsu. kelas pun terbagi 2 kubu yg saling ejek seru"an. ada juga yg netral, maksudnya ikutan ngejek kalo ada satu kubu yg terpojok. diakhir tahun, saat semuanya udah serius mempersiapkan masa depan, ada 3 orang pertama dari kelas bilingual yang masuk UGM awal. Ian masuk elektro, salsa masuk HI, Tantia masuk komunikasi. Mereka lah yg berjasa membuat gw iri mampus udah dapet PTN sampe gw sering cabut kelas buat belajar ITB. akhirnya gw bisa masuk ITB juga sekarang.

awal Juli 2010,
Pagi ini awal tahun ajaran baru SMA
namun aku tersadar masa SMA ku sudah berlalu
berlalu seakan mimpi indah yg berlalu cepat
mungkin beberapa belum sadar jika kita akan segera berpisah
berpisah menuju masa depan dan jalan hidup kita sendiri.
semua karena kita terbiasa 3 tahun bersama
bersama dan tak terpisahkan..

we are one, we are number one

Epilogue 1 : Last 4 competitions! End of Highschool debating

May 2010
It might be the best time ever in my Highschool. why? because It hit a record in joining 4 competitions in a row! I joined E-Party (SMAN 1 Tangerang, 30 apr-1 May), Liberty (SMAN 2 Tangsel, 6-8 May), Interval (Labschool Rawamangun, 14-15 May) and IREC (HI-UGM, 21-22 May). This is Debating month!
let me share my experience in my hectic-but-enjoyable-month!

1. E-Party
2010 is the 3rd times Sman1tra held eParty. 2008 I was runner-up, 2009 I was observer. and 2010 was my comeback after suspend my debating due to exam stuffs. I have accepted in ITB at that time so, I can devote my life for debating (lebay)
My teammate was Elghafiky and Suci. Fiky as 1st, me as 2nd, and Suci as 3rd.
what I felt that time? SHAKING! There was Albert from CC there. he's damn great and he just won EDC 2010+bestspeaker. it mean he has tuned in debating! and us? no we haven't debate for months. even we haven't met Naufal for training. dang!
1st round we were still haven't tuned in yet. case wasn't very strong, some hung arguments, but we won. 2nd round we met Swing team consist of Monic, Yogi and Benny. damn, they are so strong, we lost with 1 margin in motion "THBT gov. should force recycling" due to weak justification. but luckily we won in 3rd,4th and 5th round. we broke to quarter in the 2nd standing where the 1st standing was swing team :p
we won hardly in Quarter and Semifinal so we made to the Final.
It was my comeback debut and we made it to Final and met CC, theteam that we scare about. we had bad record againts CC in Knock-out round, moreover Albert was there!
We got a tough debate in motion "THW make Art/Cluture Faculty 100% free by relocating significant national budget". it was split decision 4-3 and we lost to Albert.
we were runner-up, Fiky got best speaker . not bad for a comeback debut especially got Rp 1.500.000 (each Rp 500.000) :p

2. Liberty
my school made its 1st time held a Debating competition. we allow composite team to join and even break to K.O round. my team was "MALIQ AND DE DEBATERZ" ! sounds Alay? yes, we (me, vicario, monic and vera) made it in purpose! because my teammates were a stranger! I haven't met them, I don't know them but I just accept when they offer to join their team. my teammatea were Maliq from SMAN 1 Curug, and Falaq from SMAN 2 Balaraja.
actually my purpose was just mending my speaker score and my elaboration. because Fiky told me that my diction and wording wasn't too populist. So I join them. We made fun of my team. because that was also my purpose, having fun with the debaters! Monic, Adriel and Vicario also made a composite team named Smukitra College (Smukie bdg, Sman1tra and Canisius College). I do enjoy my time with them. even I spend more time with smukitra college than Maliq and de DebaterZ. because it was our reunion as bangkoters, especially rio has come from Bandung just to have fun with us. in otherhand, maliq and falaq wasn't that good. they were text-book debaters. made paragraph for their speech and didn't accept any POI. There were some improvement on their speech in this comp, but it elps nothing. In the end I made to Quarterfinal, but lost to smukitra college. even before the match we knew the result. LOL.
The winner was Regina Pacis, 1st runner-up CC, and 2nd runner-up smukitra college.
best speaker was Albert. but in the end I achieved my purpose! I was 2nd best speaker. even I got no money but at least my target was achieved!

3. Interval
that was my 2nd time joined interval. last year I was runner-up there.
This year my teammates were Salsa and Deta. both got Gold medal in ISDC. I'm the only nobody. we did cleansweep on the prelim. got 3 of 3 VPs. and finally we made fo the Final.
we met Recis on the Final. Alris, Kezia and Ryan faced us on Final. Alris was the winner of Liberty. in the motion "TH prefer Cambodia over Thailand in the Phra Vihear Temple dispute" we won anonimously! Deta got bestspeaker also!
it was very-cleansweep-debate. unfortunately the prize wasn't satisfied us. we got Rp 1.000.000 (each Rp 300.000). but it made us sure to join IREC in HI UGM

4. IREC
it stands for International Relation English Competitions. HI UGM made it annualy.
It suppose to be Java-Bali scale. but somehow school from Bali, West java and Jakarta didn't join it. it might be due to examination in that region. we, SMAN 2 Tangsel was the farthest school that join. we used train to go to Jogja. I stayed in my alumni dorm to cut my expense. we were also the only team who didn't accompanied by teacher. but we did enjoy it :)
we did cleansweep again in 3 preliminary and broke to quarter from 1st standing :)
we also won anonimously in quarter and semifinal. then that was my 3rd Final in that month!
We faced Mualiminin the Final. the motion was "THBT Gov. shouldn't provide ransom for terrorist for any circumstances". there was drama there. my thought and salsa-deta's thought was different in interpreting this motion. they believe this debate suppose to talk about whether or not the prisoner that are terorrist can be set free by paying money. but what I believe as I have seen in other debate, it suppose to talk about whether or not gov pay ransom to terrorist when they have hostage. then suddenly we used my interpretation. but casebuilding time just 12 minutes left!
dang, I haven't got my arguments but we have to enter the Final room. But luckily I made 2 arguments when 1st speaker opponent delivered his speech. we got problem. Deta, my 1st speaker arguments were too practical, while my sudden arguments were too phylosopical. we should have exchanged our arguments -_____-
then the Announcement came. that was split decision 5-2 an the winner went to SMAN 2 TANGSEL!
wow! we made it again! we also got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bestspeaker!
we got a big revolving thropy from foreign ministry! a pride on my last HS debating!
we spent our last day in Jogja with shopping. *ups* I mean Salsa and Deta were shopping and I accompany them (and carry their stuff) . but I enjoyed when me and salsa played Time Crisis 4 on Malioboro mall! LOL.
u know what? we get back to salsa's dorm with BECAK MOTOR! we, 3 of us ride becak in the main street! wohooo..
and finally we back to Jakarta with Plane. and other sensation was: we bring the big thropy to the cabin!!!!

this is an Epilogue

Epilog terjadi setelah klimaks dari sebuah cerita. inilah masa" epilog dari my Highschool :)
kenapa ini sebuah epilog? because my Highschool has officially over!
UN udah lewat, Gw udah keterima ITB, dan gak ada tetek bengek lagi di sekolah!
but, Fiky Inspired me :

"Highschool studying migh be over, but Highschool Debating is still in overtime. we still have time"

overall, gw cuma pengen mengakatakan kalo sebentar lagi gw akan menulis lagi di blog. many stories that i will share through this blog. all about my highschool summary will be break down into debating, studying and my 3 years classmate, bilingual. sekarang, I still have something to do.

about this tittle, why this is an epilogue? because it is an enjoyable short time before facing my new world in ITB. yes, it's a college life! it's gonna be hectic, But i'm gonna addapt soon so I can enjoy it!

Wish me luck buddy!

Another Sentai Changer has LOST AGAIN!

Untuk kedua kalinya, Jam Sentai gw ilang lagi..
sekarang yang ilang adalah Shift changer gw yang belum lama gw beli

padahal udah di modif sedeikian rupa biar enak di pake sebagai jam kemana-mana.
Ceritanya lagi mau les (mau UN) gw berangkat naik motor, karena ujan gw pake jas ujan dan jam nya gw taro d kantong jas ujan yg ada resletingnya. soal nya kalo jam nya di pke, susah pake jas ujan nya. trus pas lagi sampe di tempat les gw langsung belajar aja ga sadar kalo jam nya ga ada. pas pulang, dirumah gw cari kok ga ada, akhirnya gw balik lagi ke tempat les malem" buat nyari. ternyata ga ada juga. gw coba inget" ada dimana jam itu. pas gw cek resleting kantongnya, ternyata rusak. jadi kesimpulan nya pasti jatoh di jalan. akhirnya gw telusurin jalan dari rumah ke tempat les malem". tetep aja ga ketemu. hari itu gw akhirin dengan lemes. ga tau harus ngapain lagi. rasanya kayak abis diputusin..
Sebelumnya, Dino mindernya abakiller juga pernah ilang. gara"nya, pas lagi di sekolah, gw lupa kalo jam gw ketinggalan di masjid. sdan besoknya udah raib diambil orang..

Namun, ternyata setelah diikhlaskan ada juga manfaatnya. untung 2 morpher yang ilang itu abal". belinya ga sampe 40 ribu. walaupun rasanya tetep aja sakit karena udah dimodif jadi jam yang cocok bgt di pake kemana-mana.
Lantas, gw mencoba memebeli shift changer versi US (rev morpher) lewat ebay. kebetulan ada temen yang lagi pertukaran pelajar ke US. jadi gw bisa beli beli di ebay tapi shipping nya ga mahal. masa' gw beli di ebay totalnya cuma sekitar $16 (skitar 160.000) buat beli Rev morpher Bandai US yang diperkirakan baru masuk Indo sekitar Tahun depan. itu juga kalo awal" pasti harga nya 300rb keatas. Walupun gw harus nunggu temen gw pulang bulan Juni, setidaknya gw udah dapet penggangti shift chenger abal gw. Thanks to Gama :)

new shift changer watch for school

Pertama-tama gw mengklarifikasi bahwa saya kolektor morpher sentai terutama yang berbentuk jam tangan.

ini merupakan hobi gw yang merupakan cita" masa kecil menjadi rangers. dan gw mulai hobi ini dengan dinobraces abaranger setaun yang lalu. itu juga dapet ya ga sengaja karena di kasih sepupu. setelah itu, baru mulai koleksi dari dino mider (tapi yang ilang) trus beli gogo changer (PR version) dan terakhir yang baru:

Shift changer

walaupun cuma aspal dan jelek bgt pas beli tapi setelah di tambah "jam yang asli" keliatan lebih keren! temen" gw juga bilang ini lebih bagus dari pada gogo changer!

Power rangers Roadshow, 02-01-10

Sabtu, 2 Januari 2010

awal dari tahun 2010 dan akhir dari liburan semester.

But that day is my best-day.

Best-day which is much-more-better-ever than my Birthday

kenapa hari itu hari terbaik gw? karena hari itu gw mewujudkan mimpi masa kecil gw. sepotong mimpi bodoh yang masih terbawa hingga sekarang usia ku 18 tahun.

Gw akan foto bareng Power Rangers.

Gw tau berita akan ada Roadshow Power Rangers Jungle Fury di Emporium Mall Pluit.

berita yang sangat menyenangkan buat gw. 2 hari terakhir sebelum masuk sekolah akan gw pake untuk datang ke acara itu.

Dan hari itu dimulai sebelum gw bangun pagi di hari itu..

Gw harus mencari tempat nya. dengan internet dan terus bertanya selama kurang lebih seminggu agar dapat menemukan tempat itu dan sampai tujuan.

akhirnya hari itu tiba, hari sabtu 2 januari..

Gw berangkat bareng demus dengan kereta dari serpng. acara akan dimulai pada jam 14.00-15.00 . kami berencana naik kereta menuju kota dan dari kota naik bis. ternyata kereta ke arah kota baru ada pukul 12.45. terlalu mepet dan kami tidak akan bisa sampai pada waktu nya.

kami putuskan untuk ambil kereta ciujung ke arah tanah abang pukul 11.30. kami sampai 45 menit kemudian. lalu kami disana bertanya jalan menuju pluit. kami harus naik angkot 08 dahulu, lalu nyambung bis biru 02. di dalam bis gw nanya ke kenek.

"bang, ini lewat mall..emporium?"

"Mall? lewat mall kok"

kami pun naik dan diturunkan di sebuah mall besar. kami tidak tau mall apa itu karena tidak melihat papan nama mall itu. namun kami merasa curiga hingga akmi bertanya ke satpam. satpam pertama yang kami temui gak nyambung ngomongnya, lalu kami pun memutuskan mencari satpam lain. hingga akhir nya kita tahu bahwa kita salah mall. itu adalah mega mall pluit dan kami harus naik angkot ke arah Pluit junction, karena mall emporium ada di sebelah pluit junction.

finally, emporium mall..

kita sampe jam 14.26. masih ada beberapa menit sebelum mulai. kita cari tempat nya dulu, trus kita makan, trus gw shalat dan kita nunggu di TKP sambil liat" mainan jungle fury yang udah keluar. ada solar morpher yang berbentuk sunglass tapi cuma buat anak"

and the show begin..

pas acaranya mulai cuma masih MC aja yang ngobrol. trus kalo mau foto bareng, harus regis 50rb. gw gak ragu" ngeluarin uang buat impian gw yang satu ini =)

gw daftar tapi demus gak ikutan daftar.

setelah itu power ranger pun dari eskalator. pas para ranger lewat, gw sama demus terbengong dan merasakan sensasi yang luar biasa! kita cuma bisa bilang "anjing.." trus speechless gitu liat mereka. pas ditanya sama MC "siapa yang mau foto sama power rangers?" kita bersama anak-anak kecil yang banyak bgt langsung kalap teriak "MAUUU..."

trus mereka memperagakan gerakan" rangers nya. kita terpesona dan fotoin mereka. hari itu ada special performamce dari Dai Shi , musuh PR jungle Fury.

pas lagi sesi foto, kata MC baru ada 4 orang yang daftar. trus pas foto" mulai, gw dapet giliran ke 4.

and my name was called

gw langsung kalap naik ke panggung. gw berpose menunjukan jam mercury morpher gw sambil tersenyum. sensasi nya saat itu sunggu dasyat.

jadi ini rasanya ketika impian dapat tercapai

ini dia foto" nya

trus gw tawarin demus foto juga. tapi dia males bayar 50rb. trus gw tawarin pinjemin duit gw, trus dia bisa cicil bayarnya. dia setuju dan langsung naik.

trnyata dia juga meresakan sensasi yang sangat luar biasa ketika foto bareng power rangers. kita pun sangat puas

jam 3, kami pun pulang dengan perasaan luar biasa!
