HABIBIE AINUN, The recent love
story
One of the most popular
romantic melodrama movies by a young director, Faozan Rizal, has break record
of the most watched movie in theater. The movie which based from B.J habibie’s
biography “HABIBIE & AINUN”, are starring by Reza Rahardian as Habibie, and Bunga citra
Lestari as Ainun.
The story of this movie, which based of BJ
habibie’s biography began with the first met of Rudy Habibie and Ainun when
they were in high school. As the two smartest students, their teachers and
friends were often making fun of them and told her that she looked like palm
sugar because she has dark skin. When they were graduated, Rudy work as an
engineer from Germany and Ainun work as a pediatrician
Ainun, though she had many admirers, but
the one she loved the most was only Rudy. After married a few months later at
12 May 1962, Rudy returned to Germany with his wife. The power of their love
made them survived and fought until they had their established position. Bad
thing appeared suddenly when a doctor told Ainun that she got ovarian cancer,
fortunately she can survived. Rudy as a genius person of Indonesia had a big
dream to make plane for his country. This big dream then came true. Rudy made
IPTN (industri pesawat terbang nusantara) in 1974.
His career in Indonesia increased from time
to time, but not easy at all, and his big dream came true through Gatotkoco in
1995. In 1998 crisis happened in Indonesia and student demanded president
Soeharto to step down. Rudy then was appointed to replace Soeharto, but it was
not long before people accused him of corruption until he decides not to run
for president again. In all that times, Ainun was always there to support him,
to be his medicine, to be his shoulder for him to lean and to cry together.
Happiness returned to their life, but
unfortunately the ovarian cancer in ainun appeared again and even more severe. Until the time she
couldn’t survive like before. Rudy did everything to save the life the woman he
loved the most, but nothing he could do when death came.
This movie is not only showing the romance between
prof. Habibie and his wife, but also showing the political condition of
Indonesia at that time. Indonesia also can see how the people in Germany have a
great respect to prof. Habibie, while Indonesia appointed him did corruption.
Although the acting and makeup of Reza rahardian and bunga citra lestari
are great, but their body gesture when being old doesn’t fit. They only had old
face but the body just like young people. And as Ainun, Bunga citra lestari
doesn’t fit for the image of Java oriental woman like ainun.
Overall, this movie contains a very nice
love story. By this movie, we could see that the real true love is not Romeo
and Juliet who tragically suicide to keep their love to each other, but Habibie
and Ainun who grew old together
and separated by destiny of death. This movie is a great movie in the end of
2012, but I think this movie will get more moviegoers if release right on
Valentine’s Day.

Three people have been
killed and eight others injured in a hand grenade blast at a packed village
nightclub.
The explosion in Idvor,
north of Belgrade, occurred at 2:30 a.m. Sunday (0030 GMT Sunday; 8:30 p.m. EDT
Saturday) when a man activated the grenade at the entrance to the club. About
150 customers were inside at the time.
Such incidents aren't
unusual in Serbia since the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s when many hand
grenades and firearms were taken home from war fronts.
Serbia's state TV says
the man was angry because he and three of his friends were refused entry by the
club's security. He and one of his friends were killed in the blast.

The advantages and Disadvantages of
Distance Learning
A few years ago, distance learning was
seen as an inferior way but nowadays even famous and established traditional
colleges and universities are providing distance learning courses and it is
generally considered a way to improve one's life.
However, people still argue whether
distance learning give more advantage or disadvantage. Some of them who see the
benefit of distance learning will say that distance learning needs no
commuting. Of course it saves money and time that students would take.
Furthermore, distance learning can be done at any student’s convenience. Mostly
of the classes of distance learning are asynchronous. It means that students do
not have to attend a lecture at a fixed particular time and place. Students can
review the assignments and do their homework during off-hours or from home.
Additionally, distance learning gives more accessibility. No one can deny it.
People with limited mobility may encounter the problem when they take
traditional class. With the online class system, the problem is absent.
Despite the many advantages, the other
people will see that distance learning is costly and needs complex technology.
To attend online learning, student must have a computer with possibly access to
the internet. Admitted or not, such technology devices are not always available
for common students. Another disadvantage of distance learning is that it does
not provide immediate feedback. Unlikely traditional classroom, students have
to wait for the feedback and comment until the instructor has review the works
and sent response to them. Most of the time students will study alone. Distance
learners may feel isolated or miss that social physical interaction that comes
with attending a traditional classroom.
Regarding the individual’s learning
style, some students are able to learn when there is a live interaction between
them and the available of accompanying teacher while others don’t really need
it. So before deciding a choice of attending distance learning or not, each
student needs to do a fair analysis regarding the kind of person he/she is.

Explanation Text
Making Paper from Woodchips
Woodchipping
is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees. The woodchipping
process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest
called a coupe.
Next the
tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the
mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a
chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are
then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage they are
either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat. The
pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.
Finally
the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

The Importance Of Reading
I personally think
that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so?
Firstly, by reading we
can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science,
technology, sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine,
newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading
we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts
of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason,
reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, novel,
comic, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short
story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can
also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we
may feel we’re really sitting there not at home in our rooms.
From the facts above,
it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also
entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.

Learning English
Why is Learning
English Important?
Language is the mean
of communication. Mostly groups of society have their own languages. Some of
them appear the top global languages. Most people in the world hear about
English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However English is the most global spoken
language. Then if a man wants to catch a global goal, he has to master English.
Everyone recognize
that English is an international language. English is used in writing and
speaking by many people all over the world. It can be either as a first or
second language. We even hear British, American, Australian, and even
Singaporean English. Those various names of English are used as the first
language in those countries. Futhermore, some countries have their own
languages as a mother language but also use English mostly in daily
comunication.
Besides usage in daily
interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific
and technical knowledge. No wonder we find manual guides and instructions of
many devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we
will see the cooking instruction also written in English. This transfer of
science and technic will include many countries in economic, social and
politics development.
Finaly, the most
easily seen in the importance of learning English is that most top requirement
in filling job opportunities is the ability using English; active or passive.
Job applicants who master English are more favourable than ones who do not.
The above facts prove
that everybody needs to learn English if he likes to greet the global era.

How to make fried rice (nasi goreng)
Prep time: Depends
on how fast you can chop up the ingredients. I take a long time to cut things.
It also cuts a lot of time if the rice is already cooked. We use leftover rice,
while fresh new rice is cooking. (*A helpful reader pointed out that it’s
important to use leftover rice because it has less moisture. The full
explanation is here.)
Calories: We
don’t believe in counting those in Indonesia, and we’re fans of the empty
calories (i.e. krupuks).
Ingredients:
·
A handful of shallots
·
A handful of garlic
·
2 eggs
·
A handful of red chili peppers
·
One large red chili pepper
·
About 5 cups of cooked rice
·
Vegetable oil
·
Salt
·
Cucumber (optional)
Steps:
1) Cut the red
shallots, garlic, and red chili peppers.
2)
Fry all this together using a wok-like pan and about ¼ cup of vegetable oil.
3)
Once the mixture is sufficiently soft and cooked, remove it from the oil. Use a
stone grinder to mash the ingredients;. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt.
4)
Crack two eggs and scramble in the same wok with same, leftover oil.
5)
Once the eggs are scrambled, stir in about 5 cups of cooked, white rice.
6)
Stir in the ground mixture of garlic, peppers and shallots.
Done!
