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!
