Hari ini, pada saat berbuka puasa aku tertegun..
Puasa kali ini terasa sangat sepi.. hanya aku dan mama..
Kali ini aku seperti dibangunkan dari mimpi..
Tiba-tiba aku merasa sangat kehilangan..
Disaat aku benar-benar ingin merasakan kehangatan keluarga
Disaat aku benar-benar merindukan keramaian keluarga
Tiba-tiba aku merasa semuanya sudah terlambat..
Semua sudah berubah..
Waktu telah berlalu tanpa permisi..
Aku kehilangan waktu bersama keluarga menanti waktu berbuka puasa..
Aku kehilangan moment-moment buka puasa bersama keluarga .. (UTUH!)
Aku kehilangan saat-saat sholat magrib berjamaah dirumah..
Aku juga kehilangan canda tawa bersama saudara-saudaraku..
Bahkan aku juga kehilangan pertengkaran-pertengkaran kecil di meja makan, saat sahur dan berbuka..
Oh.. betapa aku merindukan semua itu
Seandainya aku sadar, waktu bersama itu sangat singkat dan berharga..
Seharusnya aku masih bisa merasakan moment itu lebih lama lagi ...
Kalau tidak dengan keegoisanku dulu yang lebih memilih liburan puasa dan lebaran di luar negeri bersama teman2ku
Kalau tidak dengan kebodohanku dulu dengan tetap memilih bekerja diluar kota daripada pulang berkumpul dengan keluargaku..
Mungkin aku tidak akan akan merasa kehilangan sebesar ini
Sekarang, disaat aku benar2 ingin bersama dengan keluargaku..
Semua sudah tidak seperti dulu..
Kakak ku sudah punya keluarga sendiri..
Adik ku pun sudah punya bayi lucu yang layak mendapatkan perhatian lebih..
Papa harus bekerja diluar kota yang tidak setiap saat bisa berada disini
Ahh...
Kalaupun kami bisa berkumpul di satu meja makan lagi (entah kapan?)
Semua tidak lah sama lagi....
Sekarang saya harus membayar MAHAL atas semua keegoisan dan kebodohan aku itu, SANGAT MAHAL..
.........
Sekarang saya harus menikmati setiap detik bersama mama (dan mungkin anggota keluargaku yang lain nanti di hari Fitri).. Sebelum tahun depan, saya pasti akan sendiri !!
I Love You My Family.. !!!

Essay [Modern Techonology Caused Traditional Skills and The Way of Life Die Out]
Intentionally, every country in the world has tried to improve more and more their modern science. Some people argue that it develops some traditional values fade away. I can not agree with this idea for the following reasons.
To begin with, the new invention is the improvement of the old one. We may not discover modern technology without learning to the ancient skills – what we have now bases on the traditional ideas. For example, the most revolutionary new invention of the last century, the internet, is the upgrading of the previous technology such as typewriter and telephone connection.
People might prefer the latest health treatment and throw the obsolete one. But for some people, they still use the traditional one. Natural medicines has proven that the traditional knowledge still useful for people. They are proven that they do not have side effects for human body than chemical drugs. Moreover, many people still look for an alternative way which is the traditional skill like massages in order to heal the pain.
It is clear that we can not totally leave the traditional ideas. The latest invention does not exist without the ancient one. We should keep traditional skills and treasure them to the next generation as the tremendous heirlooms.

Essay [Banning Private Cars Into City Centers]
In recent years, every big city in the world, with a growing of economics has largely developed number of buildings such as apartments, offices and malls in the designated areas. Meanwhile, a lot of cars and motorcycles are coming down to reach those facilities in the central of city everyday. Gradually, the problem of traffic jam is starting to become obvious and serious. Local government has implemented several regulations to stop increasing of using private vehicles, in fact, it does not help apparently.
Limiting cars and other private transportations enter the city may lead the decreasing of air pollution problem. Most of producing hazardous gasses in the air are dominated by private cars and motorcycles. Less using them on the road will reduce the risks of air pollution. More advantage by restricting private vehicles in city centers is giving solution for traffic jam problem. Too many cars on the street causes the congestion in the central city is decreasing dramatically. It is difficult to drive around the city because no adequate space for cars to ride. Moreover, the people will take more time heading their destinations.
The drawbacks will appear if government do not give alternative ways following the regulations of banning private cars into the city - people will flout the rules and try to find another loophole. For example, citizen in Jakarta still use their own cars because the number of Trans Jakarta, one of public transportation in the city, do not meet their expectation. By this I mean people are still reluctant to benefit that facilities because the routes of busway, another name of Trans Jakarta, do not accommodate all destinations. More instance, the 3 in 1 ordinance in Jakarta does not work properly because the owner of cars hire people on the street who need money to meet the minimum requirement of three people in one car.
It is clear that banning private cars in the city centers delivers many advantages. As consequences, government should supply good alternative facilities for citizen in order to direct them choosing public transportations instead.

Essay [Forcing People Aged 55 Years and Above to Retire and Replacing Them With Younger Generation]
In the current economic climate, where jobs in many industries are under threat, some commentators have suggested that people aged 55 years and above should be forced to retire and be replaced by younger generation.
To what extend do you agree with this statement?
Many industries are in very serious problem recently due to economic climate recently. some people argue that one of the solutions is to retire people aged 55 above and hire younger employees. I tend to disagree for that solution for the following reasons.
First and foremost, people's abilities do not relate to their ages. The idea that the older the people, the weaker they are in terms of abilities and skills might be not acceptable. Many leaders in the world aged 55 above are great leaders. They have tremendous skills to manage their organizations. moreover, they have more experiences of life than young people, as the result they are more well prepared when they face problems.
Base on their physical body, 55 year old people can perform well. By this i mean, they are still able to work as hard and fit as young people, apparently. Undoubtedly, young people are eager to get new experiences at work, and their fresh ideas are needed by the companies. If both knowledge and power of young and old generation are combined, it is conceivable that may lead companies to be more productive. The synergy between them can serve a tremendous help in encouraging problems in companies.
In brief, forcing people aged 55 above to retire and replacing them with younger generation is not acceptable to be done due to economic problems. Besides the reason of that base on their ages does not really make sense, it indeed also discrimination.

Essay
The women position in society has gradually changed nowadays. However, many problems of teenagers, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that they have working mother and do not have enough time to get care from their mother.
Some people argue for that statement above for the reason that they think working mother do not have enough time to care for their children. They spend almost their time everyday at work, and when they are back, they will be so tired and cranky. The responsibility for child rearing, they delegate it to babysitters, as a consequence children grow up with lack of parental guidance. As the result, they feel lonely and unacceptable at home, then they try to find a way to protest their parents by doing something negative, such as smoking, drugs and free sex.
There also some good reasons why women decided to work. One of it is to support their financial. Father as a bread winner has not enough income to cover all the family's necessities, then mother try to support it by working. Moreover, globalization has also changed women position in society. Men and women consider to have the same right in terms of implementing their skills and abilities. Being a career women is one of the way to express their self.
It is clear that there are some good arguments on both side, but the most important is women should know their priorities whether to have a good career or to take care their children. They should consider their children indeed need their fully attention. Children's future are on parents' hands.
