Allahdullilah,,a few days ago was the announcement of completion, which will go to BALI INTERNATIONAL CHOIR. Andalaswara Choir will join the competition there in August.
I am very happy because I get a chance to participate in the competition. I never really banyangkan before because my friends are trying out for the competition that has a good vocal quality. There is little sense of real confidence. But the chance that I can get.
I really hope all is accomplished, I'd love to see the so-called Bali. Bali is saying a lot with a great variety of great attractions. It's a chance that I will not waste waste. May God always bless each of my trips.
What Makes Bali So Special?
Senin, 16 April 2012
By balihq
Bali is located in the Southern part of the equator and is one of Indonesia’s 33 provinces. The 5,632 sq mile island has a beautiful tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 20 to 33 degrees Celsius. It rarely rains in the area of Bukit and all other parts of the island during summer. High levels of humidity can be expected on the rainy season, from December until March. In higher regions such as areas in Kintamani and Bedugul, you can expect cool evenings that would require you to wear jackets after sunset. As well as the mountainous regions where it is raining of the skies are covered with clouds most o f the time. The size of the island makes it possible to explore on day tours so you can go anywhere on the island and still get back to your hotel in the evening.
The island is popular around the world for its picturesque sceneries, the breathtaking view of the landscapes, the 6 volcanoes that stretches from western part of the island to the east and its beautiful crater lakes and deep ravines and fast flowing rivers. It is also known for its lush tropical rainforest, the rice terraces that you will see along the road, and the fertile and abundant vegetable and fruit gardens the locals tend to everyday. The southern part of the island boasts of its world class beaches with white powdery sands and beaches on the other part of the island that are covered with gray or black volcanic sand.
Other than exploring Bali’s natural wonders, a visit to the island will give you the opportunity to witness and discover the rich Balinese culture, history, and tradition that has been preserved over the years. The people’s rich culture and many influences including Hindu, Buddhist, Javanese, Chinese, Indian, as well as western influences are evident in the arts and crafts. In the past, Balinese artists followed rigid and strict religious and aesthetic guidelines in their arts, not having the opportunity to express themselves freely. However, that has changed when the European artists started arriving in Bali and influenced the artists living in different “artist villages”.
The island’s economy is centered in the Southern part where most people find jobs in the hotel and tourism industry, garments and textiles industry and small businesses owned by locals that produce souvenirs and handicrafts. Some of the most valuable products of the island include cacao, tobacco, vanilla, soy beans, fruits, vegetables, and chilies. Bali also exports silver jewelries and accessories to Japan, the United States, and Europe.
The natural beauty of the island and modern facilities especially in its many world class hotels and resorts guarantees a once in a lifetime experience not only for the couples but for the whole family as well.
Many travel magazines confirm that Bali is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Any tourist will love the enchanted island and everything it has to offer – from its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue waters and the wide array of activities that are sure to make your Bali getaway a vacation to remember.

Senin, 16 April 2012
Maybe for most people on a plane is a usual things.But, not for me. I honestly have never felt that his name on a plane. It's just that too often airport to because there is a will there is to be delivered and picked up. Perhaps it is a bit stupid , but it is reality.
From the beginning I wanted to feel the plane. But there is no time for me to feel it.Maybe this is a stupid thing, because the plane was one of my wishes. But that's what it is. I wish I could reach it and feel it.

Senin, 16 April 2012
The quake was so surprising to me and my dorm friends. It was past 3 o'clock in the afternoon shows. I just returned to college, and was having lunch with my brother boarding. Suddenly, the earthquake made me and my sister in boarding panic. Her early we try not to panic. But after waiting several minutes, the earthquake did not stop. Long enough that I felt the tremor.
After a while we try hanger itself and turn on the TV to find out where the epicenter. It turns out that 8.9 quake was centered Richter scales in Aceh. A fairly strong earthquake, a while I pray. While I pray tsunami warning alarm sounded. I pray concentration instantly shattered by the sound of the alarm. Everyone in the dorm extraordinary panic. I am too. I prepared everything I might take it to flee. It was circumstances that made me scared and worried.
A few moments later I went with my brother and sister boarding cousin to the By Pass. There I dropped my boarding house of a friend's brother. I was there to calm down after the earthquake. After we heard that it was revocation that there was no tsunami .But,me back to the boarding door and the other friends who have not been back to the dorm. Finally, I and my brother decided to stay boarding at Tabing where my brother boarding.
It was a stressful incident is enough to make me scared and worried.

Greg Rodgers Sumatra Earthquake 2012 By Greg Rodgers, About.com GuideApril 13, 2012
Senin, 16 April 2012
Many of you may have already heard: An 8.6-magnitude earthquake rocked the coast of North Sumatra on Wednesday, triggering Indian Ocean tsunami alarms for every country in the region.
The Sumatra earthquake was felt all the way to downtown Bangkok.
The earthquake, which was 268 miles away from Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra, was followed up by another 8.2-magnitude undersea quake. Banda Aceh was also near the epicenter of the earthquake that triggered the devastating tsunami in 2004, claiming an estimated 220,000 lives.
Although this earthquake was strong enough and located roughly in the same place as the 2004 one, this quake fortunately failed to produce any waves higher than 31 inches. With the horrors of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami still being fresh in many people's minds, panicked evacuations occurred from Penang, Malaysia, to Thailand. Tsunami alerts were later lifted by each country, however, residents remained on edge.
Fortunately, Wednesday proved to be a real-life test of the new tsunami alert system, which provided advanced warning and performed as expected.
On a side note, KFC has offered a formal apology for their distasteful post on their Thailand Facebook page of urging people to hurry home and order some fried chicken before the tsunami. The post was considered inappropriate and angered Thais who suffered through the 2004 tsunami.
With Indonesia's army of active volcanoes and an abundance of geological activity in the region, these things do happen. Read about how to stay safe while traveling and always get budget travel insurance before you go.

Time is all we have. http://yamuhaymin.wordpress.com/page/2/
Minggu, 01 April 2012
Whatever we do, there has to be a purpose – a good purpose.
We do not live to entertain ourselves. Yes, that does not mean we live as boring souls who do not know how to have fun. But, i believe that even ‘fun’ has to have some rationale behind it.
Why? It’s because we only have one life! And, what is our purpose of life? This life is just a vehicle to bring us to the afterlife. If we don’t use it effectively, we will not reach the afterlife safe and sound!
Our greatest gift is the gift of life. Right? And, time is life!
If we spend our precious time on something, we better be able to answer at least one of the following questions in a positive light:
1) Did it benefit us by improving our health or wealth?
2) Did it strengthen the relationship with our family members, friends, neighbors or the community at large?
3) Did it increase our love for Allah swt and His beloved saw? Or, did it make us forget them?
4) Did we gain any beneficial knowledge?
5) Did it positively impact the society?
6) Did it help the poor, the injured, the weak, the oppressed, the homeless, the needy, the elderly, the orphans?
7) Did it build our character?
8) Did it improve our personality?
9) Did it teach someone something beneficial?
Seriously, if we can’t answer well to any of the above questions, then we have successfully just KILLED our time which is life and thus we are just killing ourselves.

Being Informal MC is also Exciting
Sabtu, 31 Maret 2012
Today is the first time I became MC Informal in an event. Usually I'm asked to be a formal MC every event I've ever played. While I was appointed the Informal MC with my friend who name Ario In the event, ESA in English socialization program.
This is the first experience for me and I will definitely make a lesson for the future. Because it is very much different from the usual formal MC. We are hungry here as MC Tau audience condition, good at bringing the atmosphere to be interesting to follow. This was a challenge as the informal MC. I used to be informal as an MC, so nervous before the show feeling that arises. I am afraid not maximized and good as Informal MC.
However ALLAHAMDULLILAH everything went smoothly. My anxiety is not proven. Allhamdullilah I could carry the show well, despite a few shortcomings. But his response on the appearance of my friends told me that my performance as MC was good enough to make me quite happy. Insya Allah, if GOD give me another chance to be both formal and informal MC I will raise again.
For today I would like to say Allhdullilah, And Thank you so much Oh GOD

Today I'm really feel sad,, and little bit disappointed. :(
today I'm going to andalaswara as usual. But the problem is base camp Andalaswara moved from Taman Budaya Padang to GOR Agus Salim Padang. The story start with, I don't have any vehicle that should I use. I take appointment with my friend to take me,but there are many reason from her to refuse. Actually it's really annoying.
I know that, must be patient if we expect others. I don't know what should I do for that. My father forbade me to drive in Padang. Actually that's why I don't want to expect help from others.
because it would be more painful if we are denied for what we hope . Therefore, I prefer to pursue whatever it is that everything related to my own purposes, than pleading to others. !!!

How to find happiness
Selasa, 20 Maret 2012
How to find happiness – 7 Steps
1. Desire for the conquest of happiness
The first step on how to find happiness is a conscious choice to be happy. According to psychologists, the intention is the active desire and commitment for someone to be happy. It is the choice of activities that make us happy and the adoption of behaviours that lead us to happiness and not in misery.For example, you may need to reconsider your values and beliefs. To learn to properly use you’re communication skills or your abilities and skills in the workplace. Moreover, you can choose to be in an environment with people who raise your chances for happiness.
The management of our emotions as well as our relations with others is a key factor on how to find happiness.
When someone takes the decision to be happy, must pursue strategies that will help him in this direction.
2. Gratitude
One strategy that can help is that of ‘exercise of gratitude’, as the psychologists suggest. One may note in a paper the things that feel grateful. This list removes people from the bitterness and despair, and promotes happiness.3. Forgiveness
To have negative feelings for someone can have adverse effects on our mental and physical health, as many studies show. One way to reduce these effects is the forgiveness of others. This reduces the power of negative events that create bitterness and loathing. It is a big step on how to find happiness.4. Overcoming negative thoughts and feelings
The fourth way on how to find happiness is to eliminate the negative thoughts and emotions. A person can exercise control over negative emotions and thoughts. There are many ways to do it but needs a lot of work. Someone, for example, may choose meditation, yoga or relaxation techniques to become calm. People can learn to recognize the thoughts that give them feelings of weakness or failure.5. Money does not buy happiness
This is something you must have heart many times. You cannot find happiness with money. As surveys show, the money does not guarantee happiness. Having overcome the poverty level, the extra money offers little in terms of happiness. Despite the efforts we make to make money, psychologists say that money will not ever guarantee a permanent state of happiness.6. Strengthening of friendships
The cultivation of friendly relations is still one of the best ways to find happiness. There are only a few antidotes to the unhappiness that are better than friendship and relationship with people who care. Research in Australia revealed that people over 70 years who had the strongest network of friends lived much longer. The social ties, protect us from depression and provide support in difficult times.7. Being active and not passive
The participation in activities that are meaningful can help you to find happiness. In such cases, the brain is absorbed in activities that are meaningful and challenging for the abilities of the individual. As shown in surveys, watching television provides one of the lowest levels of happiness.

The Major World Religions
Rabu, 14 Maret 2012
Hinduism - 4000 to 2500 BCE*
The origins of Hinduism can be traced to the Indus Valley civilization sometime between 4000 and 2500 BCE. Though believed by many to be a polytheistic religion, the basis of Hinduism is the belief in the unity of everything. This totality is called Brahman. The purpose of life is to realize that we are part of God and by doing so we can leave this plane of existance and rejoin with God. This enlightenment can only be achieved by going through cycles of birth, life and death known as samsara. One's progress towards enlightenment is measured by his karma. This is the accumulation of all one's good and bad deeds and this determines the person's next reincarnation. Selfless acts and thoughts as well as devotion to God help one to be reborn at a higher level. Bad acts and thoughts will cause one to be born at a lower level, as a person or even an animal.
Hindus follow a strict caste system which determines the standing of each person. The caste one is born into is the result of the karma from their previous life. Only members of the highest caste, the brahmins, may perform the Hindu religious rituals and hold positions of authority within the temples.
Judaism - 2000 BCE
Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i faith all originated with a divine covenant between the God of the ancient Israelites and Abraham around 2000 BCE. The next leader of the Israelites, Moses, led his people out of captivity in Egypt and received the Law from God. Joshua later led them into the promised land where Samuel established the Israelite kingdom with Saul as its first king. King David established Jerusalem and King Solomon built the first temple there. In 70 CE the temple was destroyed and the Jews were scattered throughout the world until 1948 when the state of Israel was formed.
Jews believe in one creator who alone is to be worshipped as absolute ruler of the universe. He monitors peoples activities and rewards good deeds and punishes evil. The Torah was revealed to Moses by God and can not be changed though God does communicate with the Jewish people through prophets. Jews believe in the inherent goodness of the world and its inhabitants as creations of God and do not require a savior to save them from original sin. They believe they are God's chosen people and that the Messiah will arrive in the future, gather them into Israel, there will be a general resurrection of the dead, and the Jerusalem Temple destroyed in 70 CE will be rebuilt.

Buddhism - 560 to 490 BCE
Buddhism developed out of the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama who, in 535 BCE, reached enlightenment and assumed the title Buddha. He promoted 'The Middle Way' as the path to enlightenment rather than the extremes of mortification of the flesh or hedonism. Long after his death the Buddha's teachings were written down. This collection is called the Tripitaka. Buddhists believe in reincarnation and that one must go through cycles of birth, life, and death. After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. In general, Buddhists do not believe in any type of God, the need for a savior, prayer, or eternal life after death. However, since the time of the Buddha, Buddhism has integrated many regional religious rituals, beliefs and customs into it as it has spread throughout Asia, so that this generalization is no longer true for all Buddhists. This has occurred with little conflict due to the philosophical nature of Buddhism.
Shinto - 500+ BCE
Confucianism - 500 BCE
K'ung Fu Tzu (Confucius) was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu in China. He traveled throughout China giving advice to its rulers and teaching. His teachings and writings dealt with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power. He stressed the following values:
- Li: ritual, propriety, etiquette, etc.
- Hsiao: love among family members
- Yi: righteousness
- Xin: honesty and trustworthiness
- Jen: benevolence towards others; the highest Confucian virtue
- Chung: loyalty to the state, etc.
Jainism - 420 BCE
The founder of the Jain community was Vardhamana, the last Jina in a series of 24 who lived in East India. He attained enlightenment after 13 years of deprivation and committed the act of salekhana, fasting to death, in 420 BCE. Jainism has many similarities to Hinduism and Buddhism which developed in the same part of the world. They believe in karma and reincarnation as do Hindus but they believe that enlightenment and liberation from this cycle can only be achieved through asceticism. Jains follow fruititarianism. This is the practice of only eating that which will not kill the plant or animal from which it is taken. They also practice ahimsa, non-violence, because any act of violence against a living thing creates negative karma which will adversely affect one's next life.
Christianity - 30+ CE
Christianity started out as a breakaway sect of Judaism nearly 2000 years ago. Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary and her husband Joseph, but conceived through the Holy Spirit, was bothered by some of the practices within his native Jewish faith and began preaching a different message of God and religion. During his travels he was joined by twelve disciples who followed him in his journeys and learned from him. He performed many miracles during this time and related many of his teachings in the form of parables. Among his best known sayings are to "love thy neighbor" and "turn the other cheek." At one point he revealed that he was the Son of God sent to Earth to save humanity from our sins. This he did by being crucified on the cross for his teachings. He then rose from the dead and appeared to his disciples and told them to go forth and spread his message.
Since Christianity and Judaism share the same history up to the time of Jesus Christ, they are very similar in many of their core beliefs. There are two primary differences. One is that Christians believe in original sin and that Jesus died in our place to save us from that sin. The other is that Jesus was fully human and fully God and as the Son of God is part of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. All Christians believe in heaven and that those who sincerely repent their sins before God will be saved and join Him in heaven. Belief in hell and satan varies among groups and individuals.
There are a multitude of forms of Christianity which have developed either because of disagreements on dogma, adaptation to different cultures, or simply personal taste. For this reason there can be a great difference between the various forms of Christianity they may seem like different religions to some people.
Islam - 622 CE
Islam was founded in 622 CE by Muhammad the Prophet, in Makkah (also spelled Mecca). Though it is the youngest of the world's great religions, Muslims do not view it as a new religion. They belief that it is the same faith taught by the prophets, Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus. The role of Muhammad as the last prophet was to formalize and clarify the faith and purify it by removing ideas which were added in error. The two sacred texts of Islam are the Qur'an, which are the words of Allah 'the One True God' as given to Muhammad, and the Hadith, which is a collection of Muhammad's sayings. The duties of all Muslims are known as the Five Pillars of Islam and are:
- Recite the shahadah at least once.
- Perform the salat (prayer) 5 times a day while facing the Kaaba in Makkah.
- Donate regularly to charity via the zakat, a 2.5% charity tax, and through additional donations to the needy.
- Fast during the month of Ramadan, the month that Muhammad received the Qur'an from Allah.
- Make pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in life, if economically and physically possible.

HOW TO OVERCOME LAZINESS
Rabu, 07 Maret 2012
Yaah,, I know and I believe that most of student or maybe every student ever feel lazy or laziness. Lazy to do homework,lazy review the lesson. Sometime because of lazy,student also absent at school/class. Actually there are many many reason that can appear if we ask them,why they are lazy. So to decrees laziness,I would like to share HOW TO OVERCOME LAZINESS.
Likewise, if you try to do everything together, you lose motivation to do anything at all. Therefore, it’s best to split a bigger task into smaller ones and concentrate on only one part at a time. The less formidable the work, the more you’ll enjoy doing it.
We usually agonize over the fact that we are being lazy, yet continue to procrastinate for hours. It becomes difficult to get out of this condition unless we force ourselves to take action, which is, admittedly, the most difficult part. Though once we set about doing a task, the laziness disappears like a magician’s trick.
Take action
If you don’t feel like reading, read. If you don’t feel like writing, write. If you don’t feel like doing exercise, do it. In short, action is the best motivation. The only thing that stops us from getting sucked into a task is not doing it, so do it now!Take one bite at a time
Does the idea of taking your whole meal in one massive bite sound repulsive? Luckily, you can take it one bite at a time, enjoy it, and still consume the whole meal.Likewise, if you try to do everything together, you lose motivation to do anything at all. Therefore, it’s best to split a bigger task into smaller ones and concentrate on only one part at a time. The less formidable the work, the more you’ll enjoy doing it.
Remove the distractions
When being lazy, we are often attracted to the distractions. Bloggers are found browsing others’ blogs when they are supposed to be writing theirs, and students are found watching TV when they should be studying. These are all distractions that serve no good purpose. If you remove the distractions, for example, by disconnecting from the Internet and by locking the TV room, you’ll notice that it becomes easier to get back to the work.Find motivation
Why are you doing work? It is easy to forget the purpose of work with time. Remind yourself of how important your work is for you, for your personal satisfaction, for your life, family and so on. If you feel you are not clear about the purpose of what you are doing, it’s time to recap the goals you set down when you started.Reward yourself
Discipline and schedules are all good and well, but do we want to become robots? This the very thing we dread and that is what leads us to lose motivation. You’ll be more enthusiastic to complete a task when you know you are going to reward yourself at the end.We usually agonize over the fact that we are being lazy, yet continue to procrastinate for hours. It becomes difficult to get out of this condition unless we force ourselves to take action, which is, admittedly, the most difficult part. Though once we set about doing a task, the laziness disappears like a magician’s trick.
5 reasons why you should smile more
Senin, 05 Maret 2012
by
A smile is one of the most simple, inexpensive and wonderful things in the world.
Still, often we forget about this one powerful action while we get lost in the details of today and tomorrow. We feel tired and we got too much to do at work and we got to pay the bills and why did I get the grumpiest cashier at the supermarket…
Here are 5 reasons why smiling as often as you can will put more positivity into your life.
1. You will get a boost of happiness – try forcing yourself to smile for thirty seconds right now. The great feelings that make you smile works in reverse too. By making yourself smile, no matter how you feel, your body will start to release all those wonderful chemicals that makes you feel happy. Try it right now and feel the difference.
2. A smile changes your state – if you feel frustrated, angry or bored a smile changes your emotional state. And a positive state is not just more fun but also opens up to other possibilities in your mind. You will see the world differently through a happier lens. And then you can start building on that to have a string of positive actions and interactions with other people throughout the day.
3. A smile changes other people’s state – walking into a room or up to the counter in a store with a smile on your face can make a world of difference. People will smile back at you and be more helpful and any social tension or awkwardness will melt away. And your interactions will be more open, relaxed and filled with fun and possibilities.
4. Well, why shouldn’t you smile? – when choosing between a frown, a blank expression or a smile the last choice seems to be the most productive and positive choice, doesn’t it? Sure, often you will forget to smile or maybe you just don’t feel like it. But if you try to remember it and use it more often you will soon develop a new habit.
5. It’s easier to smile than doing the opposite – you actually use less muscles while smiling than while frowning or making an angry face. Well, that’s probably what you have heard at least. Barbara Mikkelson over at Urban Legends Reference Pages reaches a more uncertain conclusion. But still, if you start smiling more your smiling muscles will soon become stronger than your frowning muscles. And it will become easier and easier to smile than doing the opposite.
Dancing
Jumat, 02 Maret 2012
Talk about dance, I think its long for me to didn't dance. The last time I danced when I was 3 grade in junior school .I started dancing when I was grade 2 in elementary school. In addition to frequently performing at the parting, I also had to dance outside as a representation from my school .Dancing is also one of my hobbies besides singing.
Actually I really liked these two fields. Do not know why when do this field made me enjoy having done it.
Now after all this time not dancing.
I returned to dance because I pass in the field of dance in SEA subjects (english spoken activity). There are two areas that we can choose for this SEA. The first option I chose singing and the second option is dancing . But I pass in dance. Initially I wanted to pass singing .But, over time after I came back, I started enjoying dancing again dancing. It's been a long time I did not move his body by dancing. It was very long periods of time ago when I used to go dancing .I expect in this class can cure my homesickness about dancing... :)
