See You Again

Charlie Puth feat. Wiz Khalifa

See You Again -  (OST. Furious 7)

It's been a long day without you my friend
Hari-hari terasa lama tanpamu, teman
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

Dan kan kuceritakan semua ini padamu saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi
We've come a long way from where we began
Kita tlah datang jauh dari tempat kita mulai
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
Oh kan kuceritakan semua ini padamu saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi
When I see you again
Saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi

Damn who knew 
Sial, siapa yang mengira
All the planes we flew
Pesawat-pesawat yang kita tumpangi
Good things we've been through
Hal-hal baik yang tlah kita lewati
That I'll be standing right here talking to you 
Bahwa aku kan berdiri di sini berbincang denganmu
Bout another path
Tentang jalan lain
I Know we loved to hit the road and laugh
Aku tahu dulu kita suka ngebut di jalanan dan tertawa
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Tapi ada sesuatu yang memberitahuku bahwa itu takkan selamanya
Had to switch up 
Harus beralih
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Melihat hal-hal dengan cara berbeda, melihat gambar yang lebih besar
Those were the days 
Itu adalah hari-hari
Hard work forever pays 
Kerja keras selamanya berbalas
Now I see you in a better place
Kini aku bertemu denganmu di tempat yang lebih baik

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Bagaimana mungkin kita tak bicara tentang keluarga saat hanya itu yang kita punya?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
Segala yang kulewati, kau berdiri tegar di sisiku
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
Dan kini kau kan bersamaku untuk balapan terakhir

It's been a long day without you my friend
Hari-hari terasa lama tanpamu, teman
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

Dan kan kuceritakan semua ini padamu saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi
We've come a long way from where we began
Kita tlah datang jauh dari tempat kita mulai
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
Oh kan kuceritakan semua ini padamu saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi
When I see you again
Saat aku bertemu denganmu lagi

First you both go out your way
Awalnya, kalian berdua bertualang
And the vibe is feeling strong
Dan getaran itu terasa kuat
And what's Small turn to a friendship 
Dan yang dulunya kecil berubah jadi persahabatan
A friendship turn into a bond
Persahabatan berubah jadi ikatan
And that bond will never be broken 
Dan ikatakan itu takkan pernah patah
And the love will never get lost
Dan cinta itu takkan pernah hilang
And when brotherhood come first
Dan ketika persaudaraan didahulukan
Then the line Will never be crossed
Maka garis itu takkan pernah dilintasi
Established it on our own
Berdiri tegak sendiri
When that line had to be drawn
Saat garis itu harus ditarik
And that line is what we reached 
Dan garis itulah yang tlah kita capai
So remember me when I'm gone
Maka ingatlah aku saat aku tiada

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Bagaimana mungkin kita tak bicara tentang keluarga saat hanya itu yang kita punya?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
Segala yang kulewati, kau berdiri tegar di sisiku
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
Dan kini kau kan bersamaku untuk balapan terakhir

So let the light guide your way
Maka biarlah cahaya memandu jalanmu
Hold every memory as you go
Kudekap setiap kenangan saat kau pergi
And every road you take
Dan setiap jalan yang kau tempuh
will always lead you home
Akan selalu menuntunmu pulang

The song was originally created by Charlie Puth, and then Khalifa was invited to add rap verses to the song. It plays at the end of Fast and Furious 7 as Paul Walker and Vin Diesel’s characters drive separate ways. The official music video for the song shows this scene as well.

The song, which peaked at #1 on The Billboard Hot 100 chart and has been on the chart for 28 weeks, is about Paul Walker and is to commemorate his passing. To achieve this, the song makes heavy use of Charlie Puth’s emotionally charged vocals and Wiz Khalifa’s relationship-focused raps to show how much Paul Walker meant to others. “See You Again” is an ode to a lifetime of friendship and closeness.

The song was clearly created in memory of Paul Walker who died in a car accident. He died when the movie Furious 7 is still in the process of filming. He is an actor Brian O'Conner in the franchise The Fast and The Furious. When this article was written, I have not seen the movie so I do not know what happened to Brian O'Conner when the cast was dead.

This song tells of friendship and memory of a friend who had died. This song describes the tone of sadness. In this song is also very often discussed about the experience of Paul Walker with his friends on the streets with favorite car.

At the beginning of the song, the songwriter said that he missed her friend who had died. He really wanted to say that when he met his friend again (in heaven).

In the music video, there are some pieces of movie franchise The Fast and The Furious the most features action Brian O'Conner. At the end of the video clip is written "FOR PAUL" which means the song and the video clip is truly dedicated to Paul Walker.

The stadium covers an area of about 258 thousand square meters (99.614 square miles), which can accommodate 80,000 fixed seats and 11,000 temporary seats. Its appearance was formed by big steel frames. Its top surface is saddle-shaped with the major axis of 332.3 meters (1,090 feet) and the stub axis of 296.4 meters (972 feet). The tallest point of the stadium is 68.5 meters (225 feet) above the ground and the lowest point is 42.8 meters (140 feet). The top is covered by semi-transparent air bubble film. This kind of material is waterproof and can make enough sunshine penetrate into the stadium. Owing to that, the lawns in it can grow well.

In it, the designs of everything are humanistic. The bowl-like stands zone surrounds the court. The stands can be changed in many ways, which can satisfy the needs of different numbers of spectators in different periods. During the Olympics, the temporary seats were set at the top of the stands zone. Rows of the stands distribute scientifically. No matter where the spectator is seated, the whole game can be seen without any visual obstruction. The stadium adopted the electro-acoustic public-address system. It makes the index of voice definition reaches 0.6. This number assures that all the audience can hear the broadcast very clearly. What's more, there are more than 200 wheelchair seats intended for the disabled. Many architectural experts think that it not only is a symbol building of the 2008 Olympics but also set a very good example to the world's architectural history.

Education to Build a Better Future for All

Education to Build a Better Future for All

Zaki Anwar Farizan

We lived in a world that so many people live there. Approximately billions years ago, the human lived in the stupidity. They have a lifestyle like the animal style. They eat the meat without cook before, hunt the animals with the very simple tools that made from stone, and many more. From there, it is the first knowledge in the world. Then, the new era begin. The knowledge always improved by the next generations until now. Now, the knowledge improve very widely and the people think that the knowledge don’t be lost because from the knowledge, the technology always improved. So the people try to teach the other people about the knowledge. From there, we can conclude that education is a process where the peoples sharing about everything that they knows. From the education, people who are stupid become smart. The world needs the smarts people to change the world from primitive era become modern era.

Beside the knowledge, the education always improved too, especially in the system of education. Long time ago, the people think how all of the people can be smart, but the numbers of people is so many. So they make the school. In the school, the people can study together in a class. The participant of the school called as student. They will teach by the people who called as teacher who has the knowledge more than the students.

In this era, I am a student of Senior High School. So I feel the atmosphere of school for almost ten years, so I know the system of education in Indonesia. In the 1^st grade of Elementary school, I started the school.  I learn over 10 lessons in the class, so from the basic, we started to be saturated and bored in the school. For example, every student has the different talent. There are my friend who likes cooking, counting, writing, sport, and many more. But,in the school, we learn about many lessons that we don’t interest. When I was  Junior High School, there is my friend that has interest in sport and drawing. But, in the class, he always mocked by his friend because he always get the bad mark for math. It’s the first problem of the system education in Indonesia.

The second problem is homework. Teacher sometimes give us the the homeworks. It’s usual in my school. But, many teachers give us many homeworks. Imagine, if we study 16 lessons every semester, let’s think about our pressures. Every homeworks must be ready for next week.maybe the teacher think that they give us homework order to the students always study in their home. But, we feel that many homework make us very stressed. The homeworks don’t make us smart, but make us so tired and we don’t notice about our health and make us become sick.

The third problems is ranking system. There is the rule that every class must sort the students from the 1^st ranking that has the highest marks in class to the last student that has the lowest marks in the class. It makes the highest the 1^st rank receive so many praises from  teachers, friends, and many more. But, the students who is the lowest ranking in class, he/she can become very shy to his/her friends. Usually the lowest ranking students get mocked by his/her students, teachers, and get anger from his/her parents. It can make he/she become not confident in every time. The lowest rank student feel that he/she is the stupidest student in the class. So he/she will feel very stressed and he/she can give up for every condition.

So in my mind, I ever think about my dream education in Indonesia. I wish that the students can choose their lesson themself. The lessons can adopted from the talent of the students. If it happens, the student who likes sport don’t need to learn about Physics, the student who likes music don’t need to learn about Biology, and many more, so the student can develop him/her talent. Beside it, I wish that the lessons we learn is less than 10 lessons in order to make the student can focus to him/her talent.

One of the biggest problem for the students in Indonesia is homeworks. I wish in the school, the teacher seldom to give the homeworks. If the number of homeworks are few, the students can focus to do the homework so they can understand about the content of lessons.

I wish that in the school, there are no ranking system in every class. It can make the equality of each students so there are no differents from each students. So if one student get a bad mark, he/she don’t need to give up, but he/she must try to get the better mark next time.

In Indonesia, we have the big problem in education, especially for the system. So I have an idea for the government to fix the system. It’s never too late to give the change to the education. If the education can be better than now, I believe that the next generations will become better from the previous generations. They are the next leader for Indonesia to lead this country to glory.

From the text above, we can conclude that education is very important for the world. If there is no education, the world will fall on to the stupidity. Because of this, this country need the good educations to produce the great generations that can be the next leader for this country.

My Holiday

My Holiday

On this day, December 23^rd 2015, we finished study at first semester in 3 Senior High School Bandung. My mom and picked up the report of my progress in study at school. At first, I fell very nervous because I think my result of study is bad. But, when I looked my report, I feel happy because the result is good. After receive the report, we came back to my house. My parents were very busy because in the night they would go to Saudi Arabia to do the umrah.

In afternoon, my big family came to my house to accompany my parents to PUSDAI mosque because the travel agency prepared the bus to Soekarno – Hatta Airport. We went to PUSDAI mosque at 06.30 p.m. My parents brought many luggage. We arrived at PUSDAI Mosque at 08.00 p.m. There so many people came to PUSDAI Mosque.

I opened the cover of bird cages, so the birds received the sunlight.

We  started to live without my parents in my house, only with my sister. Luckily, before my parents went to Saudi Arabia, they ordered a maid to take care us in the house. Everyday she cooked the foods for us so we wouldn’t hungry. But, for the houseworks, that’s our tasks, such as mop floor, clean the dishes, clean the bird cages, and many more. We usually did the tasks before, except clean the bird cages. For the first, we felt disgusted because there were so many bird’s feces in the cages. But, slowly we accustomed to cleaned the bird cages.

In the night, my uncle came to my house. He planned to stay for 4 days because the next day my uncle had to work in his office. So every night, my uncle always take me and my sister to the restaurant to dinner. We are very happy because we can eat for free. My uncle always treat us so we can save our money.

At Sunday, my uncle come back to his house because the holiday of his work is end. At Monday, my cousin come to our house to play together with us. He come to my house with many foods, especially snack. But we decide to take lunch near my house. We eat meatballs together near my house. After that we buy the foods again. Then, we back to home. In the evening, my aunt come to my house to take my cousin back to their house.

At Friday, finally, my parents back to Indonesia after go to Saudi Arabia to umrah. My family and I pick up my parents at PUSDAI after pray Jumat. There so many people wait their family who go to Saudi Arabia too. After wait for 30 minutes, the participant of umrah arrive at PUSDAI. Finally we meet my parents again. My parents bring many souvenir, such as chocolate, wall decoration, zam – zam water, and many more. After that, we come back to home.
