Not for clean up the room, washing dirty plate, stay in the chair to kept my good image in front of someone I thought it's not too important to show how good I am. Oh world, did you think I complaining my life?? No, I just want to tell what I feel right now, I just want to share, and show how Indonesian culture works. As a grown up ladies, you should show them that you can do anything your homework, even they know you should work from mon-fri. Did you asking who are 'them'???
They are some people who had contribution to next step of your life to approve you as a candidate of your partner in life.
Did you believe that, when you should choose your partner in life, it must pass the test. Show how good you are to be a housewife. No matter are you working or not. Can you imagine, there's no time to rest. Should I being a servant for an entire life, without time for my self.

Immitation of Life
Charades, pop skill
Water hyacinth, named by a poet
Imitation of life.
Like a koi in a frozen pond.
Like a goldfish in a bowl.
I don't want to hear you cry.
Thats sugarcane that tasted good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you try.
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced.
You've got it all, you've got it sized.
Like a Friday fashion show teenager
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try.
Thats sugarcane that tasted good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you try.
No one can see you cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good.
That freezing rain, that's what you could.
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry.
This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you cry.
This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good.
That's who you are, that's what you could.
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry.

"Someone Like You"
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over, yeah.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.

Berkatalah yang Baik atau DIAM
[Dan (ingatlah), ketika Kami mengambil janji dari Bani Israil (yaitu): Janganlah kalian menyembah selain Allah, dan berbuat baiklah kepada kedua orang tua, kaum kerabat, anak-anak yatim, dan orang-orang miskin, serta ucapkanlah kata-kata yang baik kepada manusia, dirikanlah shalat dan tunaikanlah zakat. (Tetapi) kemudian kalian berpaling (dari janji tersebut) kecuali sebahagian kecil dari kalian, dan kalian (memang selalu) ingkar.] Al Baqarah: 83
[And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside.]
“Barangsiapa yang beriman pada ALLAH dan hari akhir maka hendaklah berkata baik atau lebih baik diam.” (HR Bukhari Muslim)
“Sesungguhnya orang yang paling aku benci dan paling jauh dariku nanti di hari Kiamat ialah orang yang banyak omong dan berlagak dalam berbicara.” Maka dikatakan: Wahai rasuluLLAH kami telah mengetahui arti ats-tsartsarun dan mutasyaddiqun, lalu apa makna al-mutafayhiqun? Maka jawab nabi SAW: “Orang2 yang sombong.” (HR Tirmidzi dan dihasankannya).
“Sesungguhnya seorang hamba mengucapkan satu kata yang diridhai ALLAH SWT yang ia tidak mengira yang akan mendapatkan demikian sehingga dicatat oleh ALLAH SWT keridhoan-NYA bagi orang tersebut sampai nanti hari Kiamat. Dan seorang lelaki mengucapkan satu kata yang dimurkai ALLAH SWT yang tidak dikiranya akan demikian, maka ALLAH SWT mencatatnya yang demikian itu sampai hari Kiamat.” (HR Tirmidzi dan ia berkata hadits hasan shahih; juga diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Majah)
“Bukanlah seorang mu’min jika suka mencela, mela’nat dan berkata-kata keji.” (HR Tirmidzi dengan sanad shahih)
“Aku jamin rumah didasar surga bagi yang menghindari berdebat sekalipun ia benar, dan aku jamin rumah ditengah surga bagi yang menghindari dusta walaupun dalam bercanda, dan aku jamin rumah di puncak surga bagi yang baik akhlaqnya.” (HR Abu Daud)

Waiting for Superman
Film dokumenter yang wajid di tonton oleh setiap guru ataupun 'MANTAN' guru, terutama yang pernah berdebat dengan saya mengenai masalah pendidikan anak-anak Indonesia. saya masih ingat, dia adalah teman SMA saya, lalu kita bertemu lagi di twitter, terjadilah beda pendapat mengenai ulasan salah satu berita di web mengenai kelulusan nasional. Pada saat itu saya menyalahkan guru yang emnurut saya gagal dalam mengajar murid-muridnya, namun teman saya berpendapat lain, menurutnya murid-muridnya lah yang salah karena tidak mau belajar.
Saya berharap, orang itu mau menonton film ini. Sehingga terbuka kesadarannya. Film ini mengisahkan tentang pendidikan di Amerika, tapi ini juga terjadi di negeri ini, negeri para koruptor, negeri para pemalas. Maaf jika saya harus bilang, ketidak lulusan yang terjadi adalah kegagalan dari para guru mengajar. Bayangkan, orang tua membayar mahal untuk mereka mengajar, tapi kebanyakan dari guru" itu tidak mampu mengajar, mereka hanya menerima gaji, menyuruh murid-murid membaca, memberikan PR, menyuruh murid-muridnya mengerjakan soal.
Saya sendiri tidak tahu orang yang berdebat dengan saya kala itu guru jenis apa, karena ada berbagai jenis guru, tidak semuanya malas, ada juga guru yang memang rajin, berusaha mengajari anak didiknya dengan baik sampai mereka mengerti, ada yang memberi motivasi kuat kepada para anak didiknya, ada yang sampai bersedia datang meluangkan waktu istirahatnya untuk mengajar anak-anak. Ya guru-guru seperti ini lah yang dibutuhkan oleh bangsa ini.
Saya mempunyai impian besar, mungkin terlalu muluk bagi sebagian orang, tapi saya rasa siapapun boleh bermimpi, saya berharap 15 tahun dari sekarang, 50% mahasiswa Harvard University adalah anak-anak dari Indonesia. Saya rasa itu semua mungkin, selama pengajar,orang tua, dan para murid bisa bekerja sama dengan baik. Sama-sama memiliki kemauan yang kuat. Suatu saat kita bisa jadi bangsa yang disegani, karena kepandaian anak-anak kita, anak-anak Indonesia. Saya ingin menunjukan pada dunia bahwa bangsa kita bukan lah bangsa yang bodoh, bahwa bangsa kita bukan bangsa yang pemalas.
Ketika ada 100% siswa yang tidak lulus dari satu sekolah, meskipun sekolah itu hanya terdiri dari segelintir siswa, tetap saja guru yang salah, berarti mereka meremehkan jumlah anak yang sedikit ini. Saya sangat setuju jika guru itu tidak ada yang menjadi pegawai tetap, melainkan di kontrak tapi mereka diberikan gaji yang cukup besar, sehingga mereka tidak perlu lagi memikirkan soal keuangan finansial, yang perlu mereka pikirkan hanya lah bagaimana memajukan anak-anak Indonesia.
Saya pun mengerti, kecilnya gaji guru, tapi bukan berarti anak-anak yang harus menjadi korban dari kekurangan gaji pada seorang guru. Harapan saya setiap guru bisa mengajar dari hati. Guru bukan lah pekerjaan, tapi guru adalah profesi.
