My Lifeline

There are some moments in my life that I will always remember. Firstly, when I was in kindergarten, I was able to read for the first time. It really made my parents proud of me. It also helped me to build my self confidence.
Secondly, when I was in high school, I was selected as one of PASKIBRAKA members. It was an unforgettable memory in my life.
Thirdly, when i graduated from high school, i was directly admitted at Government Office as officer. I was still 19 years old at that time and i could pay my study in University by myself, because i had already my own salary.
And lastly, i went to Japan for the first time in 2001. I represented my country to be young ambassador for youth exchange program called The Ship South East Asian Youth Program. It was the greatest moment of my life.

I wish there would be more great moments comming in my life !

Simplifying English Spelling

Simplifying English spelling brings advantages for the first learners of English such as children and foreign learners. Reforming the spelling of the English language can help them to read and write more easily, and improve their literacy. Furthermore, foreign learners can be sure how to pronounce an English word without hearing it first, because the alphabetic of English spelling would be more reliable. Moreover, for those who have a poor memory, their chances of becoming a good speller would be improved.
Simplification of English spelling also give some disadvantages for English users, espessially for native speakers. Changing spelling will make them confused. It could be a very huge, expensive and complicated revolution that people will be difficult to adjust to. On the other hand, the spelling of most of the words in English tell us about their history and origins and that would be lost if we make it simple.

Do You Believe in Horoscope?

Sometime i do read my horoscope for entertainment. Do i believe in what it says?
Well, I dont believe exactly what the horoscopes say for a sign, i only consider it as the advices for me because sometime it tells me what should i do, and what shouldn't i do. Sometime it's related to my life at that time, but sometime it's not.
I do not base my whole day on what a passage said my day would be like. That is ridicilous
But I do believe that a person with a particular sign is going to common with those traits..

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true

My Niece

It's been almost one month i left my hometown. But what i miss the most is not my room, nor the food... i don't miss my parents (i don't mean to be rude mom, dad! :)), nor my brothers (haha)... but the one whom i miss a lot is my beautiful niece.
Her name is Keizha Farrsa Zaqi, we call her Faras. She is 14 months old now. She is the only grandchild of my parents. I don't have any sisters so when we knew that my sister was pregnant with a little girl, we couldn't wait to see her in this world :)

I miss her so much now..

Today's Line

And again i end up the course today as usual.. but i think today is the worst..
I was so hungry in a class so i couldn't concentrate with what teacher said.
Well, it was my fault, i din't have my dinner yesterday, i slept earlier than usual yesterday. After came back from hanging-out with my friends, i took shower then just slept.
Actually in this morning, i ate breakfast just like usual, but i think because i din't have my dinner, i got hungry very soon.. :D

Well, i dont want this happen again to me. Not only because i can't concentrate on the lesson. But also i dont want to get sick like my friends. Three of my classmates are sick today. And i don't want to be the next.

One of My Favorite Poem

This is one of my favorite poem, written by an African kid, was nominated by UN as one of the best poem of 2006.

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
and when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?
