Kalian pastinya tahu dong apa tu kereta. Dan banyak dong, diantara kalian yang pernah naik kereta api. Tapi kalian pernah ga, naik kereta sendirian, bener-bener sendirian, ga ada satu orang pun yang kita kenal? Mungkin kalo buat cowok sih biasa, tapi kalo cewek? Menurut data statistik dan pengamatan serta wawancara beberapa orang temanq yang cewek sih rata-rata ga berani naik kereta, jarak jauh lagi, sendirian lagi, apalagi naik ekonomi yang kesannya tuh berbahaya, ngeri, ga aman, dan sebagainya deh pokoknya. Menurut teman-temanku aku tuh cewek lemah, lemot, pokoknya yang begitu deh. Tapi aku berani lo naik kereta sendirian, ga ada teman satupun , naik yang ekonomi pula. Dan hal tersebut udah dua kali aku lakuin waktu aku mau pulang dari Bogor ke Tegal. Ya, selain pertimbangan lebih cepat naik kereta daripada bis, juga karena lbih ngirit dan terpaksa ga ada teman yang diajak bareng. kacian deh aku!
Tapi menurutku seru kok. Aku jadi lebih berani dan aku punya beberapa pengalaman waktu aku naik kereta sendirian. Waktu pertama naik kereta sendirian sih termasuknya aku nekat, karena aku belum punya pengalaman naik kereta dari Bogor ke Tegal. Sebelumnya aku biasanya naik bus. Tapi, Alhamdulillah lancar, tanpa hambatan dan selamat sampai tujuan. Anehnya, malah pengalaman kedua yang penuh hambatan. Padahal sebelumnya udah pengalaman. Amu tahu bagaimana kejadiannya?
Nah, waktu itu kan IPB liburan 5 hari dalam rangka memperingati Hari Raya Idul Adha dan Natal. Walaupun cuma 5 hari aku memanfaatkannya buat pulang ke Tegal. Habis, kangen rumah dan di asrama juga sepi karena bnyak yang pulang. Seperti sebelumnya, aku pertama naik kereta dari stasiun Bogor ke stasiun Kota, Jakarta. Sebelum naik kereta kan aku beli tiket dulu. Nah, aku sih ga ada perasaan apa-apa waktu beli tiket, karena sebelumnya aku beli tiket ke Jakarta seharga 2000 rupiah di loker yang sama seperti sebelumnya. Habis beli tiket, aku langsung naek kreta yang bentar lagi mau jalan. Singkat cerita, akhirnya kereta sampai juga di stasiun kota. Dan waktu mo keluar, kan ada pedugas yang memariksa tiket penumpang. Aku sih, nyante aja karena pikirku aku udah megang tiket. Tetapi, tanpa kusangka, tak kuduga, aku disuruh untuk menghadap petugas lain dahulu, padahal penumpang lain bisa langsung keluar. Dan ternyata sebabnya karena aku salah beli tiket. Emang keretanya sama, harganya juga sama. Tapi tiket yang aku beli jurusan Bogor-Pasar Pagi, bukan Bogor-Jakarta. Gara-gara itu aku disuruh denda sebesar Rp 5000,00. Daripada ntar aku ga bisa pulang-pulang, aku nurut aja mbayar ke petugasnya, meskipun aku rugi.
Nah, belum selesai sampai di situ ceritanya. habis itu aku langsung ke loket untuk membeli tiket ke Tegal, kereta ekonomi Tegal Arum namanya. Aku cepat-cepat membeli karena aku melihat ada kereta yang dari luar sama dengan kereta Tegal Arum yang sebelumnya pernah aku naiki. Setelah beli tiket, aku pun langsung masuk ke kereta itu. tapi, waktu aku masuk, kok kursi-kursinya beda dari yangsebelumnya kau lihat, jangan-jangan aku salah masuk. Aku pun bertanya pada salah seorang penumpang. Dan ternyata benar dugaanku, itu bukan kereta ke Tegal melainkan kalo ga salah ke Purwokerto. Aku pun langsung turun, dan tepat setelah aku turun, kereta mulai jalan. Oh, Alhamdulillah, untung aku turun sebelum kereta jalan. Kalo ga, bisa-bisa aku kesasar ga nyampe ke Tegal.
Dan ternyata kereta yang akan aku naiki belum datang. Aku pun mennggu, tidak lama kemudian kereta yang asli datang dan aku menaikinya. akhir cerita, aku sampai Tegal dengan selamat. Selama perjalanan, aku smsin teman-temanku untuk menghilangkan rasa bosan.

Rowling reveals name of last Potter: 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'
Thu Dec 21, 12:01 PM ET
LONDON (AFP) - The name of the seventh and last
Harry Potter book has been unveiled as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," likely to whet the appetite of millions of eager fans worldwide.
J.K. Rowling's massively popular series featuring the schoolboy wizard.
A publication date has not yet been set for the book, which will follow Harry and friends during their final year at Hogwarts, the school for witches and wizards.
The first six books in the Potter series have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages, making Rowling Britain's highest-earning woman.
The novels have also been turned into hit films. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the fifth movie in the series, is currently being filmed and is due for release next year.
Rowling, 41, admitted on her website this week that she was under stress as she wrote the closing chapters of the final Potter novel -- in which she has hinted that the beloved hero may be killed off.
"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," Rowling revealed.
"I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels. I am alternately elated and overwrought.
"I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry I will)," she wrote.
She then described her odd dreams about Harry's world, which Potter fans are sure to scour for clues about what may happen in the final book.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in' Harry's world," Rowling wrote.
"The answer was 'no' until a few nights ago, when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator."
Rowling said she recently went on a day trip to the film studios where she saw 20 minutes of footage for the new film, "which looks fantastic".

The Light House : menara suar icon kota Paris 2020 ?
Jum'at, 15-12-2006
Paris adalah ibu kota turisme kawasan Eropa yang menjadi salah satu tujuan wisatawan sedunia untuk berkunjung ke icon yang paling terkenal; Menara Eiffel. Kota Paris serta masyarakat Parisiene adalah warga kota yang sejak lama terkenal sebagai kaum avant-garde yang tidak jeri untuk melakukan upaya terobosan melangkah jauh didepan zaman, termasuk ketika membangun Menara Eiffel ( Gustave Eiffel - 1889 ), Glass Pyramide de Louvre Musee ( IM Pei arsitek warga negara AS - 1989 ), atau pun Pompidou Center ( kolaborasi arsitek Renzo Piano dan Richard Rogers - 1976 ). Dan kini skyline kota Paris akan mengalami perubahan mencolok dengan akan dibangunnya gedung pencakar langit setinggi 300 meter (990 feet) yang diberi nama proyek The LightHouse ( Phare : in French ) yang akan selesai dibangun tahun 2012 karya arsitek Amerika pemenang penghargaan the Pritzker Prize tahun 2005: Thom Mayne.
Setelah sekian lama : 30 tahun peraturan melarang gedung tinggi dibangun di wilayah pusat kota Paris dengan acuan Menara Eifel ---tinggi 324m--- maka menurut Rancangan Tata Kota Paris 2020 akan mengalami penataan ulang hingga munculnya rencana pembangunan gedung pencakar langit sebagai bagian dari revitalisasi wilayah La Defense. Sayembara Internasional untuk rancangan arsitektur termaksud kemudian dimenangkan oleh arsitek Thom Mayne dari kantor arsitek kenamaan Morphosis, Los Angeles - AS.
Sama halnya rancangan Menara Eifel ataupun Piramida Gelas Museum Louvre yang ketika dirancang sempat memancing kontroversi pro-kontra, demikian pula dengan gedung pencakar langit The LightHouse mengingat sosok outline bangunan dengan tampilan yang aneh dipandang hanya akan 'merusak' skyline sediakala kota Paris yang anggun. Ekspresi tampak luar gedung yang menonjolkan suatu bentuk cerobong yang menyatu dengan pojokan kotak menara benar-benar sungguh tampak jelek dipandang menurut sudut mata estetika bagi sebagian orang. Namun tidak demikian halnya bagi kaum Parisiene yang malah memilihnya sebagai karya no.1 diatas karya monumental Norman Foster asal Inggris atau pun arsitek terkemuka asal Perancis sendiri Jean Nouvel.
Para juri sayembara berpandangan gedung The LightHouse karya Thom Wayne mampu menampilkan cirian ekspresif arsitektur berspirit "ecobuilding" masa depan; bangunan ramah lingkungan yang mengedepankan tata penggunaan energi terbarukan dengan seksama. Bentuk serupa cerobong vertikal yang berujung pada sejumlah rangka menara di level puncak teratas bangunan berfungsi sebagai wahana turbin pembangkit listrik yang bersumber dari tenaga angin. Rancangan panel berlapis ganda pada facade bangunan pun dimanfaatkan sebagai pembangkit listrik yang terjadi akibat adanya pergerakan udara. Selain dari pada efek "double-skin facade" demikian pun memungkinkan bukaan jendela pada sisi tertentu bangunan untuk ventilasi silang alami pada saat tiba musim panas.
Rancangan penempatan menara kincir angin dengan turbin pembangkit energi listrik pada lantai puncak gedung LightHouse adalah serupa seperti halnya rancangan pada menara pencakar langit Freedom Tower NYC , AS ( setinggi 1.776 feet ) ---yang akan menggantikan gedung menara kembar WTC New York--- yakni dimaksudkan guna menghasilkan paparan maksimal turbin terhadap pergerakan angin serta sebaliknya, yakni meminimalkan terjadi turbulensi akibat pengaruh pusaran angin dari struktur bangunan disekitarnya serta menjauhkan potensi kebisingan suara.
Sejauh ini bangunan tinggi model "ecobuilding" dengan pendekatan rancangan bertumpu pada efisiensi energi mampu menghasilkan 10% - 20% kebutuhan pasokan energi listrik dicukupi dari "renewable energy" energi terbarukan yang berasal dari tenaga angin. Sementara diseluruh muka bumi energi listrik yang dihasilkan dengan teknologi kincir angin hanyalah 1% dari total konsumsi global energi listrik. Data tahun 2005 diseluruh benua Eropa energi angin membangkitkan tenaga listrik sejumlah 35.000 MW. Para pecinta lingkungan hidup di negeri industri maju di Eropa mengunggulkan angin sebagai alternatif sumber energi masa depan yang bebas polusi dan bersifat terbarukan, dan kenyataannya prosentase penggunaannya tahun demi tahun belakangan meningkat dengan pesat.

My love_by Westlife
An empty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I’m all alone
The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We’re holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
So I say it in a breath
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love
I tried to read I go to work
I’m laughing with my friends
But I can’t stop
To keep myself from thinking
Oh no
I wonder how I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We’re holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
So I say it in a breath
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from my heart
You’re all I’m thinking of
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
Swear It Again_by Westlife
Mandy_by Westlife
Hero_Mariah Carey
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
We Belong Together_by Mariah Carey
(Ooh, ooh, sweet love, yeah)
I didn't mean it
When I said
I didn't love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that
I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined
I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn't know you
Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
(We belong together)
[chorus]When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together
I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of wha
I'm feeling insideI need you
Need you back in my life, baby
[chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby
[chorus]
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
Unbelievable_by Craig David
Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before.
Now I see, what love means.
[Chorus]
It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.
In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.
[Chorus]
When I think of what I have,
and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.
[Chorus]
Now I see, what love means

I Believe My Heart_by Duncan James feat Keedie
Whenever i see your face, the world dissappears,
All in a single glance of, revealing,
You smile and i feel as though, ive known you for years,
How do i know to trust what im feeling.
I believe my heart, what else can i do,
When every part of every thought leads me straight to you,
I believe my heart, theres no other choice,
For now whenever my heart speaks, i can only hear your voice.
A lifetime before we met, has faded away,
How did i live a moment without you,
You dont have to speak at all, i know what you'd say,
And i know every secret about you.
I believe my heart, it believes in you,
Its telling me that what i see is completely true,
I believe my heart, how can it be wrong,
It says that what i feel for you i will feel my whole life long.
I believe my heart, it believes in you,
Its telling me that what i see is completely true,
And with all my soul i believe my heart,
The portrait that it paints of you, is a perfect work of art.

Pada hari Sabtu, tanggal 18 November 2005 kemaren, ada suatu peristiwa yang bersejerah buat ekskul KIR. Tahu nggak KIR itu apa? Mungkin banyak yang udah tahu kalo Lir itu singkatan dari Kelompok Ilmiah Remaja. Nah di sekolahku, yaitu di SMA Negeri 1 KOTA Tegal, aku jadi salah satu pengurusnya. Pada hari Sabtu yang bersejarah itu, ada pergantian pengurus dari pengurus KIR tahun 2005/2006 yaitu tahun kepengurusanku ke adik-adik kelasku yang akan melanjutkan kepenguran KIR tahun 2006/2007.
Pada hari Sabtu itu, sebelum melakukan serah terima secara resmi, kami mengadakan semacam game adventure gitu. Acaranya cukup seru lho! Mau tahu bagai mana acaranya? Nih aku lihatin foto-foto waktu acara itu.
Setelah itu di pos dua anggota KIR selanjutnya melakukan semacam percobaan seperti pada gambar di samping.
Terus di pos tiga adalah pos yang tidak praktek sendiri, tapi cuman menjawab sebuah teka-teki, jadi nggak difoto. Uh, curang deh, padahal itu kan pos yang aku jaga.
Setelah acara selesai, para pengurus KIR juga poto-poto buat kenang-kenangan seperti ini nih...............................!
