My Junior High school Farewell Party

4th of June 2011 would remain in my brain as the end of my journey in SMPN 1 Balikpapan. At Ballroom of Grand Senyiur Hotel, lot of voices inside the ballroom mixed as a symphony of enthusiasm to face the waiting adventure as a High School student.



At the same time, sadness in the air cannot be hidden anymore. We’ve been together for 3 years. Same classmates, same faces everyday. That made us know and understand each other well. Being apart won’t be a pleasure at all.

Master of ceremony opened the Farewell Party. Our parents were there. My mom was one of the farewell committee. Arief Maulana as the former President (My former boss as well coz I am the former Vice President) of student organization gave a speech.

My physic teacher on grade 8 aka Mr. Zaidil Ghofar announced the 10 student whom got the highest score on Examination for this period. Guess what?

I got the second place, my total score is 9.33 while the first rank got 9.35. What a very small difference. But FYI, I got the highest score for the National Final Exam alias nilai nem paling tinggi di sekolah. It is 38.05. Me and my parents went to the stages to receive the trophy.


Can u see me? Im in a Batik Dress.. hehe

And these are the students whom got perfect score on Math. I wasn’t involved. (Of course we knew that, Radith!-,-)

There were many performances like traditional & modern dance, Band, acoustic group, operetta, etc.

At the end of the party, we took a lot of pictures. And suddenly my mind flashbacked every single memories with my classmates.






Every laugh,

* Every cry,

* Every anger,

* Every fight,

* Every emotions. Every suffers and every naughtiness.

- Cheated on the test,

- Copied friend’s homework,

- Gossiping, Backstabbing,

What i love the most was the academic competition that happened between us.

All those experience will be a precious wealth in my life. Hundred of thanks I deliver to you guys, also for our homeroom teacher Mrs. Eny Fitriati. We love your style, Mrs. Eny!

This is me with my friend, Bimo!

And these are Aldino,,,,,
See ya on the next journey, guys... Love u all..


Btw, I will continue my study to Pasiad Semesta Bilinguan Boarding High School in Semarang city, Central Java. Wish me luck all...

    This looks like a pretty decent farewell party. Mine was literally filled with people who’d rather be somewhere else. The event space that we had booked was pretty nice but nobody looked interested in doing anything. It was a pretty disappointing experience for me. Anyway, have a great 2018!

A Marxist Analysis : Bitcoin as Capitalism’s Latest Fetish of Commodity

Image
Reading into the latest news, almost every financial or economic column I have come across is talking about Bitcoin. Its craze has even spread among my peers who are currently installing their own Bitcoin apps (i.e from Bitcoin.co.id and others) to partake in their own trading, hoping to somehow double their pocket money. Rather than simply talking about Bitcoin as another means of investment and speculation to further accumulate our wealth, in this essay, I’d like to contribute to the discussion by analyzing how does Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism could actually apply in the emergence and also rise of Bitcoin as a form of cryptocurrency. What exactly is this latest technological invention that some economist claim would transform current financial and economic system that we know today?             Firstly, we need to clear up some ontological confusion on what cryptocurrency and bitcoin are. Cryptocurrency is a type...

Critical Review: Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscript of 1844

Image
Estranged Labour, Human Requirements, and Division of Labor Under the Rule of Private Property             Marx’s 1844 Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts contain one of the most comprehensive discussions on the concept that he calls “alienated labor”. Marx mostly sees alienation at work as the most predominant form of alienation that humans have to undergo under the system of capitalism. Marx’s alienation is based on the assumption that human has the ultimate need to engage in free and creative labor as part of his human nature. Since capitalism systematically hinders that needs, it is an alienating system. He claims in the 1844 manuscript that most people in the modern society perceive work as unpleasant and unfulfilling experience. This is particularly true in the modern context of the most capitalistic society like United States and some developing countries who pursues capitalistic mode of production as its means o...
