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!

Perempuan dan Dialog Antar-Agama: Pengalaman Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB)

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Artikel Jurnal Judul :            The Role of Women in Interreligious Dialogue in Indonesia: A Study on the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) Pen ulis :           Wiwin S. A. Rohmawati         Jurnal:             The Muslim World, 2020 (Vol. 110 Issue 4) Tebal:               16 halaman   Perempuan seringkali tidak mendapat ruang dalam dialog antar-agama. Sekalipun ada, peran perempuan kerap terbatas pada hal-hal yang kurang substantif dan kurang berpengaruh di ranah pembuatan keputusan. Hal ini menyebabkan forum dialog tidak representatif bagi aspirasi dan peran perempuan. Forum dialog maupun upaya binadamai lainnya yang tidak melibatkan   perempuan akhirnya menjadi tidak efektif dalam menciptakan kerukunan di masyarakat. Tokoh agama, pemimpin politik, diplomat, mediator dan peran lainnya dalam upaya binadamai masih banyak didominasi peran dan perspektif laki-laki. Hal ini juga dipengaruhi oleh kedudukan dan privilese laki-laki dal

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 of digital currency [1] that acts as a digital asset

Meneguhkan Lagi Peran Akal, Kebebasan dan Toleransi: Memperimbangkan Tawaran Mustafa Akyol

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Buku Judul :           Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance Pen ulis:      Mustafa Akyol             Penerbit:      ST. Martin's Essentials, 2021 Tebal:           v + 298 halaman   Dalam buku ini, Akyol mengulas bagaimana perkembangan sejarah pemikiran Islam berpengaruh pada kemajuan dan kemunduran peradaban Islam. Akyol menjelaskan bahwa sejarah awal islam ditandai oleh kontestasi di antara dua aliran etika yang disebutnya “teori perintah ilahi” dan “teori objektivisme etis”. Aliran etika yang pertama berkembang terutama dalam bentuk Aliran Asy’ariyah, satu aliran teologi Sunni yang menekankan kewenangan mutlak kitab suci dan ulama (sarjana agama). Akyol mengulas bagaimana aliran Asy’ariyah tumbuh menjadi aliran teologi yang dominan dalam sebagian besar sejarah Islam bukan karena kekuatan argumentasinya, tetapi karena dukungan para pemimpin otoritarian kepadanya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kesamaan kepe
