Silence is Gold

Everyone will speak or shout loudly when they are angry with other people. Sometime they shouted directly in the crowded area. It happens to me too. When I made everyone dissapointed or angry, they would shout to me no matter where they were. It made me felt ashamed and it hurts me.Those experience made me become a person who choose not to speak when I felt really angry. Everytime I felt angry to other people who made me dissapointed, I choose not to speak or shouted in front of them. 

One day, I wanted to make a cake in my food stall. I made the cake in my food stall because my food stall has everything that I need. I prepared everything to make the cake. I did everything by myself. I made dough and baked them. At that time, there was no buyer so I made the cake enjoyably. Finnally, half of the cake finished. I gave those cake to the employee in the food stall to ask their opinion about my cake. If the cake wasn't not good I could make the better one with half of dough. Fortunateky, the cake was delicious.

When I wanted to make half of the dough, some buyers came to the food stall and my food stall became crowded. At that time, the food stall was too crowded. One by one buyers came to my food stall and I couldn't make the cake. I moved to my house to make the cake. I brought all the things I need to my house. I asked some help to one of the employee to bring liquid propane gas (LPG) into my kitchen because I couldn't bring it.

When I asked help to him, I thought he would help me because he didn't answer my request. When I arrived at my house and did something, the LPG still not in my kitchen. I went to the food stall again to find out the employee. Unfortunately, he was there, he just sat and watched me. I was really angry. I asked his help again. He rejected my request harshly. I was shock. I asked his help carefully and I didn't know why he shouted to me. If I could bring the LPG by myself, I wouldn't ask his help. I was really angry to him. I ran away to my house. I wanted to shout in front of him and I wanted to speak harshly because of my anger. I couldn't shout and speak harshly in front of him. All of words that I wanted to say couldn't be spoken. I didn't want to make him felt ashamed and I didn't want to hurt him. He was one of my mother's favorite employee. I didn't want to to make him resign from his work. I cried a lot in my room to release my anger. I threw everything in my room and stayed in my room until I felt calm. I didn't make half of the dough again because I felt tired and dejected. My mother made the cake by herself and gave it to me.

Even other people said speak your anger is the best way, I will not do that. I feel ashamed and hurt when other people shouted to me, so I will not make everyone feel like what I feel. When I feel dissapointed I will cry or throw something beside me. From this experience, I don't make cake in my food stall because my food stall always crowded and I don't want to angry with anyone in my food stall. Silence is gold.

Experience is the best teacher

Everyone has their favorite Senior High School when they're in the last year of their study or maybe since they were entering Junior High School. It also happened in my life. I had my favorite Senior High School since I was in first grade of Junior High School. I wanted to study in SMA N 1 Singaraja. One of the regretable moment in my life is when I couldn't enter my favorite school.

I thought I had tried my best when I prepared my self to follow test from Senior High School. I've studied hard everyday and followed private course with my teachers. Because of SMA N 1 Singaraja has Mandarin course, I followed Mandarin course too. I've prepared my self with Mandarin course and thought I would study in my favorite school.Not just followed private course and Mandarin course but I also followed extra course in Ganesha Operation. The last year in Junior High School was very hard to me.

When the test day come closer, I felt overconfident to study in my favorite school. I thought I could pass the test in SMA N 1 Singaraja when I answered all of the test. I answered all the test confidently. I felt nervous and happy ata the same time because i believed I cluld study in my favorite school. I never thought to study in another school because I was too confident I could be  a student in SMA N 1 Singaraja.

When the result of the test announced, I knew that I couldn't pass the test in SMA N 1 Singaraja . I couldn't be a student in my favorite school. I cried the whole day when they announced the result of the test. My parents was dissapointed to me because they hope I could study in SMA N 1 Singaraja. My parents and I tried all of our efforts in other ways to be a student in SMA N 1 Singaraja. Unfortunately, I still couldn't be a student in my favorite school.

My regrettable moment in the past is my best teacher until now. After I passed my test in SMA N 4 Singaraja, I realized that I haven't tried my best. I will never forget the time when I felt overconfident and the feeling when I couldn't the test in SMA N 1 Singaraja.

My Best Friend

Mia Agustina who was born in Singaraja, 30 August 1994 is my best friend. I usually call her Mia. She is my friend from Junior High School until Senior High School. In Junior High School we were not in same class but we knew each other. In Senior High School we were in same class from first grade until third grade. We were a classmate, we shared many things together, we laughed, we cried, we shared our stories honestly and we know each other family. I have some best friend in Senior High School, but Mia is the best among the other. Her appearance and her personality makes her very special to me.

            Mia has black-long wavy hair. She has pointed nose that makes her looks like Arabian. She has bright smile that always comfort me when I felt unwell. Mia has narrow eyes and she wears glasses since in Elementary School. Her body is like my body but she is thinner than me. She has white complexion because she is very care with her skin. Mia is very aware with her appearance. She doesn’t want to look bad in front of other people. The other people said that Mia looks very attractive.

            Not just attractive, Mia also has good personality. Mia always care with other people around her. She is calm but when she with me she will be hyperactive girl. She is kind of person that keep my secret well. I trust her like I trust my family. She is good listener too. Whenever I need someone to share my stories, she always beside me to listen my stories. She always gave good advice for me. She is honest person. Sometimes when I shared my stories, she gave me her honest opinion. If I did something wrong, she would tell me I was wrong. I think she is more care to me than I do. She is very aware with all little things I did. She spoiled person too. She likes to lay on my shoulder or on my thigh. She also likes to hug me and cried in front of me. She is childish too. That’s why I love her more than the other friends.

            Mia is my best friend and will be my best friend forever. We spend our time together although we’re not in the same college. We meet each other on weekdays to share our story and our feeling. Mia is very special for me and I am very happy to have best friend like her with her appearance and her personality.

My Special Dad

          My dad is the best dad in the world. People can say there is no perfect father in this world, but for me, my dad is the perfect father in the world, although he has many weaknesses. To be honest i really adore my dad. When I was child, I had ever thought if I have a husband, he must be like my dad because everything in my dad is very special, his appearance, his personality and his habits.

            My dad has black-short wavy hair. He has pointed nose and two deep dimples. Because of those dimples, he has bright smile. He is about 170 cm height. He is hard-worker and always going outdoor to do his job. That’s why his skin is brown. He is very casual. At first sight, you can see that he doesn’t aware with his appearance, but if you know him well like I do, you can notice that he’s really aware with his appearance and he always teach me how to wear clothes perfectly. He likes to buy his clothes wherever he goes. He likes soft color for his clothes. All of his clothes fit well with the way he looks. In other words, my dad’s appearance is simply casual.

            Moving to his appearance, my dad is the kind of person that interesting to listen and always give good advice for his children. When I told my stories to my dad, he would listen to me and gave his advice although I didn’t ask him to give me advice. He is like my teacher for my life. My dad always gave honest opinion for his children, if we were wrong, he would tell that we were wrong. In other hand, my dad doesn’t talk too much. He won’t tell us if he has problem. He tried to solve his problem by himself. He never rejects his children’s wishes. He will try to fulfill our wishes. The most important thing he always does is he always supports his children no matter what.

            My dad has a bad habit, which is he likes to speak frankly. He didn’t care with whom he talks. Usually my dad doesn’t talk too much and doesn’t show his feeling a lot. But, when he met with his friends and they talked together, my dad would talks frankly if there was something that annoyed him. It also happens in our family. He will talk frankly if his children did something wrong. I think that’s not a big problem, he just want to be honest person and also he doesn’t mean it seriously.

            To conclude, some people may think that my dad just like the other dad in the world, but I don’t care because there was no someone else that I wanted to describe like my dad that very special to me with his appearance, his personality and his habbits. I have wonderful opportunity to have awesome dad in my life.
