BLITZah.

Blitz was an English Debating Competition held by SMAK 1 Penabur.
it's quite crowd and I guess well done.
I teamed with Deni and Vincent. they're great mates, really.
actually this' not my first time joining such competition but the third.
my first one was CEC (Canisius English Competition - I got nothing but shame ) and the second one was S3W Beverlys (SMAK 3 Week - I got the Runner up place + 8th rank speaker).

I played around there, lots of fun and battle of wits .
there must be logical thinking and elaboration. debate is all about think and speak.
Vincent and I, sometimes, made Deni got a little angry with us, because we played too much. err
there were 5 rounds of pre-eliminary, a quarterfinal, a semifinal and a grandfinal round.
we won 3 rounds out of 5 pre-eliminaries. (the 2 loss were stupid ah)

my team and I stories about s3w debate

I was arriving home from SMAK 3 yesterday. as the end of the competition and bringing a runner up place. it was an unforgetable final. why? because we debated so bad :( , but we had a lot of fun in rehearsals.

well I'm going to tell u from the first day of competition.

1st day. Pre-eliminary round 1 and 2.
Prelim 1. GOV TarQ 2 VS OPP SMAK 3 B
with motion THBT Homework Should be Compulsory
it was an impromptu motion, and we shocked why did they give this in the very first match??
the verbal adjudication was talking about the plus and minus point in this debate.
- explanation and solution with different way plus time management is our plus point.
- I just expanded the case too far away until the future of the country and not really concentrate only on the point of student itself. the adju said it was okay but it's just multiply my burden to be proven (minus point)
Stefanny forced me to deliver the reply speech. her reason was because she's too nervous in the first match, well I, in emergency become a reply speaker substitution! whereas I really don't know what I should deliver but just let it be! xD
margin: +4

Prelim 2. GOV TarQ 2 VS OPP SMAN2 TangSel B
with motion THBT Cultural Treasures Should be Returned to Their Areas of Origin (what a long motion)
it's been prepared. and we more or less understand about the case well, so that we can bring the background and so on okay. verbal:
- we suddenly influenced by the example of the opposition team about Borobudur temple and just responded lots about it. the adju said that we shouldn't point on that a lot because the things we mean is smaller such krees and pots.
- our team line is not really eligible.
margin: +1

2nd day. Pre-eliminary round 3 and 4.
Prelim 3. GOV SMAN14 A VS OPP TarQ 2
with motion THW Obligate Safe Sex Education since Junior High School
it's prepared and the government side of the house brought a false case (the mechanism is so similar with ordinary sex education which is it's ours the difference is just that they want to implement it frquently every week). verbal:
- we didn't attack well their weakest point and explain the minus point explicitly.
- we questioned but don't explain about it well.
margin: +2

Prelim 4. GOV TarQ 2 VS OPP Gandhi National B
with motion THW Allow The Use of Torture to Fight Terrorism
lucky us because we've thought and built the case about it in our rehearsal so far.. in the other hand I, myself thought in a neutral way about this so it's not really hard to place myself in the role who's supporting torture. I thank God a lot. verbal:
- the adju said that the case is very well delivered and the debate's been such an above the average debate.
- we've touched the urgency with good point but unfortunately the explanation on justification from the 1st speaker is lacking and came out kinda too late.
- the shame-shame thing is just usual in debate (I told them in my reply that: "it's not wise to use shame-shame, but I respect ur effort to destruct our concentration). because the opp team usually used shame2. :(
margin: +1

3rd day. Quarterfinals and Semifinals rounds.
Quarterfinal GOV Gandhi National B VS OPP TarQ 2 (again)
with motion THW Put a Quota for Woman in Politics
impromptu classic motion again D:. verbal:
- out greatest point is not elaborated well
- we haven't clarify their fault in bringing parliamentary level, this debate should talk about legislative not executive governs.
- our counter proposal is not clashing so well, and we brought too many examples.
unanimous decision 3 to 0

Semifinal GOV TarQ 2 VS OPP Labschool Rawamangun A
with motion TH should reject skilled migrants from developing countries
prepared motion and seems like it's kinda matter based. my team and I did some miscommunication and we didn't coordinate with each other well. because of that what we wanted to be the parameter of developed countries can;t be delivered and also the mechanism, what's been delivered is just about the European Union who gave blue card. it's such terrible thing. verbal:
- our argument is not really different at all (1st and 2nd speaker) so there's only 1 point of clash because our case is too simple and worse we didn't explain it very well.
split decision 3 to 2

4th and also the last day. final round.
GOV SMAN81 A VS OPP TarQ 2
with motion THBT The Right of Each State to Unilaterally Undertake Armed Humanitarian Intervention Should be Recognized
don't know what to say.. quite speechless. and I just guess that it was worst final I've ever seen (maybe also the adjus've seen). we disappointed lot of people especially the watchers I guess. I never knew it could be like this bad. verbal:
- we're lacking the level of justification
- we didn't make it cleat why sovereignity is that absolute
- how big is the significancy is not clear until the end of the debate
- we didn't make clear the GOV's blurry case (I bet it's because we're all too panic and again we didn't communicate well with each other)
we lost with split decision 4 to 3.

---

I've learnt a lot of new things. and I regret our shameful final debate. we should make something better, I know. but it's too late to be regretted :(
now all we can do is promise that we will practice harder and just point on the progress rather than the winning itself. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF CHANGE !
anyway, sorry for my english. know it sucks :S

kebetulan waktu itu lg hari batik! jd gw pake batik deh!! si stenov tuh yg salah kostum krn dia lupa pake batik hahaha.

google's 11th birthday + last day of s3w debate rehearsal

I was very surprised when I opened www.google.co.id this morning. u know why.? I saw the banner and just thought there's something different!

usual logo


today's logo
see.?
it has TWO "l"

firstly I just thought if this is a technical error, such as when the officers want to edit the logo and type in too many "l". I don't really care, anyway.
but yes, this lately, I came home from s3w debate rehearsal @Kario's house and I'm trying to open Google again to search some more matters. when I move the cursor to the logo that appeared the words "Ulang Tahun Google ke 11", then I realize, THAT'S IT!
I began like a fool and thinking about why they chose that logo again and again. isn't it unimportant huh.?
it'sjustme! lol xD

beside all of this stupid thing (just an unimportant opening but to melt down the atmosphere!), I want to let u all know that I've just finished my rehearsal for SMAK 3 Weekly Debate Competition or called S3W debate. we were given only 1 week to find about 15 motion. and also because some of them are very strange, my team and I were so confused and we'd think a lot! (letting my brain suffer, wtf.?)
some of them here:
THW criminalize arranged marriage,
we doubted, is it going to debate about underage arranged marriage or adult arranged marriage.? it's just unclear and so far we just define it as far as we know about the issue nowadays.

and also.. some of them are very hard to be understood! like unilaterally intervention etc etc.
if knowledge is the food and think is eat, our brains must've been very satisfied and full! I bet my own is really fat and obessed already! :(

wish our one and only team some luck for 2 days ahead! :):)

---

*update!*
this is our 3rd day of S3W competition. it's getting on the quarterfinals round.
I actually don't really know what to do! it must be getting harderandharder,
those teams we gonna face are great (sooo great).
I, inside myself doubt. but there has to be no doubt once I got inside the match!! okay I'll try!! Kario, Stefanny, we must be doing something right :):)

rumah di tubir jurang !

here is my latest indonesia language project ~

this drama named "Rumah di Tubir Jurang", menceritakan suatu keluarga yang tinggal di jalan Tubir 275 dan memiliki keluarga yang acak-adut karena satu sama lainnya mereka hanya mementingkan diri sendiri.

I made the cover of the cd, but not originally mine. it was a rush, jadi gw cm ambil gambar dr google & touch here and there put on text and jeng jeng jeng.. fresh from the ps!

nilainya lumayan loh :)
drama ini berbau komedi dan sangat memalukan para crew nya karena adegannya banyak yang aneh-aneh! lol :p
pak bambang said it really looks like a sitkom (komedi situasi) heheheh.
even though we're shy (what a shame!) but we're proud of it :D
gw sendiri berperan sebagai Noki yaitu co yg menghamili anak gadis keluarga tsb.
loh loh lohh.. gw jd co tapi aneh hahaha!
I'm sorry kalo post ini emang rada geje,
abisnya gw emang geje sihh~ (ngaku nih huahahhaha)

btw gw kesel abis, hari ini gw abis diboongin sama orang yang namanya MICHAEL JACK.
gara2 dia gw salah buat poligon malah buat OGIVE, emang sih yg ketipu bukan cm gw, tapi tetep aja gw nih emosi banget! grrr..
sabar sabar. semoga lain kali gw ga bakal ketipu lagi :)
2 days left to holiday!

osn biologi 3 - 9 agustus 09

Aduuuuuuh ketelatan di-post! Hehehe.. maap lupa :p

tapi lebih baik terlambat daripapda tidak sama sekali kan.?
Lanjuuuuuuuuuuut!~

selama osn (3 - 9 agustus 2009), kami (team DKI) semakin hari semakin strong, dekatt dan semakin tidak jelas pula hahaha. melewati berbagai hari dengan belajar bersama, mengeksplorasi taman serta parkiran hotel atlet century untuk mengidentifikasi tumbuhan ala botanists stres, nonton take me out massal dan main kartu babi beramai-ramai. puncaknya kemarin malam kami midnite film merah putih dan tidur jam 2 pagi.

team strong tidak hanya berbekal kesenangan dalam bermain, tapi juga berbagi pengetahuan satu sama lain. we've been each others' best sparing partners.
hasil perjalanan kami selama 2 setengah minggu berbuah 2 medali emas 3 perak dan 2 perunggu.
sangat strong kan.? hahahhaa :D

day1-2:
acara gajelas dan super aneh.. gak dapet kamar bahkan sampe tengah malem (Ichi). Gw masih inget waktu gw sama Daniel lagi naek lift tengah malem mau ke kamar masing2, Ichi yg tadinya udah turun masuk lagi dengan rambut kusut nan kucel dan muka kesal berkata "Asal lo tauu yaa di kamar gue ada cowok gak dikenal, pake celana pendek lagi!" yang itu artinya mau gak mau dia harus pindah kamar.
hari kedua kita pergi latian praktek bentar ke sman8 dan Ichi dapet sms mbah Surip meninggal. Gw sama Harun itu masih yang ngetawa2in dia gitu gak percaya "Masa di video clip nya dia jd hantu skrg udah meninggal beneran?" betapa kagetnya kita smua begitu sampe hotel setel TV dan ternyata bener.. ckckck.. malem hari kita belajar bersama digurui oleh pak guru ashraf cosclair atau tanclair jg boleh hehehhee.. Riedha merubah kata komplemen jadi hibrid (?)

day3:
tes teori A plus B. pagi2 bangun, sarapan jalan ke SMA70 bulungan dan menunggu sampe jam 9 teng. soal teori A kayak soal propinsi tipe nya tapi lebih aneh (gw gak tau kenapa tapi gw merasa aneh haha), soal B gak usah ditanya smuanya bener2 strong ngerjain itu. lagipula kami smua janji gak mau ngebahas itu sampai selesai pengumuman (yang bahas traktir !). malem hari gw dan anak2 lain berkelana keliling parkiran mencari berbagai pohon dan bunga untuk diidentifikasi sistematiknya. alhasil smua gatel2 digigit semut (kecuali Daniel kayaknya, dia mah jejak petualang abis!) kita begadang ampe tengah malem belajarin cara2 pake spektrofotometer di internet trus bahas2 biologi molekul dr pelatihan. bagian terakhir kita habiskan dengan berfoto-foto ria pake photo booth nya Afi !

photo session 1~ :D:D

day4:
tes praktek! kalo gw menceritakan ini rasanya sangat sedih.. jadi gw gak usah ceritain ya T_T. intinya yg kita smua belajarin gaada yang keluar kecuali sesi pertanyaan Biologi Mol & Anfiswan. malemnya ada acara evaluasi yg jadi sesi curhat massal. ceritanya lucu2 dan aneh2. mulai dari cara pake ose, cara ngambil kultur yg digetok2 cawan petrinya, cara nimbang jangkrik yg kakinya dipatahin, dll yg aneh2 deh. ini acara sebenernya agak sadis wkwkwk. Riedha, Ichi jg pada maju curhat. Riedha punya cerita tuh bener2 lucu. Apalagi pas dia bilang "Pak jangan kasih tau yah kalo saya yang bilang," wkwkwk.. mukanya itu ekspresif banget plus intonasi nya yang lucu hahaha. oh iya, Michelle & Harun sakit hari ini. dan mereka pulang kebesokkannya..

day5:
pagi2 smua kumpul di lt.7 ngegosip ampe siang hahaha..jam 12an kita rekreasi geje, ke TMII buat ke museum listrik (fisika banget) dan pp iptek. di bus perjalanan kita memutuskan buat maen kartu babi di bus dengan cara Daniel dan Yun duduk di tempat taroh tas di bus belakang. Mereka bikin gerakan aneh2 dan pas gw kena, gw diwajibkan pilih DARE (licik banget sih parah), gw disuruh minta cium tangan sama si Ibu Endang di depan, malu banget -_-. malemnya makan malem bareng menteri apa Sudibyo gitu namanya gw lupa dan males nginget. tapi lebih kayak acara "menggelandang" bersama. mau makan aja susah, desek2an dan smua duduk di tanah hahaha.. untungnya kita pulang jam 9an malem gitu dan langsung tancap gas ke kamar Yun, ngumpul massal nonton take me out! HAHAHAHA. sambil nunggu acara mulai kita maen kartu babi gitu cacat abis pokoknya. makin malem gerakan semakin aneh dan hancur. akhirnya acara take me out mulai dan kita semakin banyak membuat DOSA wkwkwk. Michelle kembali ke atlet century tp tidurnya cepet, mungkin karena masih agak sakit :D

osn edisi jalan2, team dki jakarta's having a photo session with team jateng!

day6:
pagi2 acara pembagian medali (Harun dateng). gak usah dibahas karena gw jg sedih. kita mulai dari sore hari. kita lanjut maen kartu babi, sayangnya Michelle pulang! (huhuhu..) kali ini, si Ari (bali) ikutan maen sama kita, Harun jg pertama kalinya maen. Harun kena diboongin lagi! dibilangnya kalo yg jadi Babi ngepet itu yang menang wkwkwk.. tapi akhirnya Harun tau yang sebenernya dan langsung menguasai permainan dengan cepat (bahkan menjerumuskan banyak orang wkwk). Ari kena 2x gara2 Harun dan DARE nya itu parah banget. dia disuruh senam di depan si mas2 penjaga lantai dan si mas2 itu ngamuk (mungkin video nya akan dilampirkan nanti wkwk). kita terus maen dan yang paling sering jadi korban Harun adalah Marsha (HAHAHAHA) -- ya pertanyaannya sih seputar MR X. akhirnya untuk pertama dan terakhir Harun jadi babi ngepet! tau gak DAREnya apa.? HARUN DISURUH NEMBAK RIEDHA! muka riedha tuh udah merah banget, mateng deh pokoknya! lucu deh pake bunga lagi!
malemnya kita smua ke Senci buat maen dan diakhiri dengan nobar midnite "Merah Putih". gw sih tidur sepanjang film..kecuali bagian perang yang ada bom2nya wkwkwk.

gw dengan deretan tiket midnite merahputih :D:D

day7:
gw gak keluar kamar sama skali. hari itu cuma ketemu Annisa (balikin charger), Ari dan Taufik (gak sengaja ketemu di lobby) sama Daniel (ngambil name tag doang). gw check out pagi2 karena udah bener2 cape.
