Assalamualaikum..
Hai teman. Hari ini, pada jam pelajaran IPS (seharusnya, tapi kosong) bu Wiyani dateng ke kelas buat bagiin hasil UTS. Pada ribut2 gitu, kecuali mereka yang emang pendiem n ada satu anak yang sebenernya dia cerewet tapi saat itu memilih untuk diam, aku. 
Trus kan pada tuker2an tuh, pada ngliat skornya temen2, tapi aku ga mau minjemin. Ampe diplis2 segala ama beberapa temen juga. Akhirnya ketika sedang lengah direbutlah kertas itu oleh Rifqi, trus dibawa lari ke belakang n dibantuin Fikri juga, aku ga mau kan trus aku udah bilang ga ikhlas segala mereka kayak ga peduli gitu. Ya udah aku duduk dengan menampakkan ekspresi marah gitu. Trus pak ket, mr FBA yang kadang2 cuek tapi ga tega ngliat perselisihan antara cewe dan cowo di friendyclone-d itu ke depan, ngapain ya tadi lupa tapi kayaknya manggil Rifqi biar balikin kertasku. Makasih pak ket. Huft, trus dibalikinlah itu nilai UTSku. Fikri n Rifqi ngrasa bersalah tuh n minta maaf..
Ugh, harusnya aku yang minta maaf. Maafin aku ya Rifqi, Fikri, pak ket yang udah tak bikin kerepotan, n semua classmatesku atas sikapku yang super childish itu...

Assalamualaikum... hi teman!
Hari ini habis upacara PGRI langsung boleh pulang. Para friendcys punya agenda : jenguk seorang teman, Duma yang habis kecelakaan, astaghfirullah...
Pulang jam 8, trus balik lagi jam 9 di lapangan Lia, Greata, Bella, Dika, Felix, Feri, n Malvina yang masih pake seragam OSIS alias blum pulang plus bu Wiyani, wali kelas. Oya, ada Amalia n Paramita juga yang habis muter2 sekalian beli es, pas mereka dateng (balik maksudnya) langsung deh ke rumah Duma, karena dikirain temen2 yang lain yang rumahnya di utara-utara sana udah pada sampe.
And ngeeeeeeeeeeeng, pada kenceng2 gitu, aduh tapi masa sih Lia bilang itu udah slow.. Pas mau sampe tugu batu, Amal n Mita 'ngejar' Malvina n Lia, woooi "this is not the way to mba Nurul's house!!!"
"haa, emang sapa juga yang mau ke rumah mba Nurul? Mba Nurul (mba bendahara yang bawa buah) n friends palingan udah sampe sana.. kita langsung ke rumah Duma!"
oo ya udah deh, berlanjutlah perjalanan mereka..
Finnaly, sampe juga, fiuuuh.... eh, Duma, ada apa gerangan? tanganmu, kakimu... astaghfirullah, pake acara tabrakan segala sih kamu?
Trus ya salam2an gitu deh ama ibunya Duma, ama Dumanya juga.. Trus dipersilakan masuk sedangkan bu Wiyani ngobrol sama Duma's mum...
Tapi yang bikin bingung, ternyata mba Nurul, pak ket, mba Ria, n d other friency pada blum nongol, hloh? Menyusullah si Felix lekas-lekas, n soon dia balik lagi bersama temen2 (blum semua itu).
Of course ruang tamunya Duma jadi lumayan penuh gitu, yang bikin sebagian temen2 cow ngumpulnya di ruang sebelah ruang tamu (ga tau ruang apa tuh)..
Lalu ya automatically keramaian kami terpecah pas Dewi n Ayu dateng, aduh.. si Ferdy pake acara teriak ke ibunya Duma "mantu buk..!" astaghfirullah o.O... Amal yang tadi udah digosipin (ampe eneg palingan dia) jadi kasian keliatannya...
Then, keramaian tambah menjadi setelah about a half of hour Dira n Ajeng (baru) dateng..
"waa lagi teka, wis, bali yo cah, bali yo..." kalimat yang sebenernya cuma buat bercanda itu kayaknya dianggep beneran ama bu Wiyani. So, baru beberapa detik Dira n Ajeng menginjakkan kaki di rumah Duma, mereka terpaksa dan dengan sangat kecewa langsung balik ke motor cz udah pamit (yang memamitkan bu Wi of course..).
Dalam keadaan yang 'gayeng' dan menggelikan namun sedikit menyedihkan juga itu dapat dirasakan (hiks......) betapa waktu ini akan sangat membuat warga friendcyclone-d miss to each other...
Betapa ini adalah peristiwa yang tentu akan sangat berarti di masa kita selanjutnya...
Semoga setelah lulus nanti, setelah nggak satu sekolah dan satu kelas lagi, warga friendcyclone-d akan tetap menjaga silaturahmi seperti bahkan lebih baik daripada ketika mereka masih satu 'atap'...aamiin..

"Teman, sungguh beruntungnya diriku dapat memilikimu .. Dan tentu sungguh beruntungnya diriku nanti jika silaturahmi yang kita jaga ini akan menjadi sebuah persahabatan sejati yang membawa kita menuju masa depan yang jauh lebih indah daripada masa sekarang dan yang telah kita jalani sebelumnya..."

Friendcyclone-D song : Bunda
(Untuk sahabat-sahabat di kelas 9D)

Tiap nafasku slalu
Mengingat namamu, kawan
Dalam fikir dan di dalam hati
Engkau tak kan pernah terlupa

Bayangmu slalu ada
Dalam suka dan duka
Sahabat yang tlah lama bersama
Mengarungi waktu

* Canda, tawa, dan keluhmu kuingat slalu
Walau kita kan berpisah tetaplah satu

Sahabat-sahabatku
Ku kan slalu mengenangmu
Dalam setiap bait memori
Dirimu tak akan terganti

Meski perih di hati
Karna tak bersama lagi
Ku akan tetap mendoakanmu
Bahagia selalu

(kembali ke reff* )

Oh, kawan ada dan tiada
Dirimu kan selalu ada di dalam hatiku

How to become a good student

To become a good student, you need to get motivated! Motivation can come from seeing the situation of many poor children around the world who are not lucky enough to get a proper education. Keep that in mind when you don't want to attend class or study at home. Another reason to get motivated to study is that you will enjoy a better quality of life as an educated person. You can go to educational websites, like this, and surf them with interest. You must not force yourself to study, for this will make learning a chore and you'll not feel like even opening your books. You will have many academically good students in your courses. Try becoming friends with them (or encourage your current friends to be better students), and you'll be immersed in an academic environment which will help you feel motivated!

Above all, you need confidence! For that, we need to feel that we are working for ourselves and not for others! Good luck!

And if you stay motivated your mom and dad will be very proud of you so keep that is mind as well!

Concentration follows eagerness. This section provides you with the basics of "Concentration" and also provides you with advice as to how to get aroused with concentration.

You need to pay attention in class. Don't start chatting with your peers/friends when the teacher turns their back to you. Even better; don't associate with distracting people. You should realize that the people in your class play an important role in how everybody progresses. However, if you are a good student you will do better and achieve your goals. Your friends will be there for you at that time, if they are trustful and of a good reputation. At home, study and do your homework in a place that doesn't make you sleep. It is advisable to have a dedicated study table or desk. Don't do your study work on the bed or in front of the t.v/radio/stereo etc. That would be pointless because you are meant to be thinking about your studies.

If you feel distracted, take a short break of 15 minutes or less, maybe try to read an unrelated story book. But don't start sticking to the book if the time limit is over. Book mark the page and then you can read it later on. You should also have a daily routine/timetable to guide you, but you must follow it through. Don't have regular fights at school; this will move your attention to fighting rather than listening to what your teacher says! Believe me, these are all important guidelines. Remember, study well now, and you can have fun after you achieve your goal - guaranteed!

One of the main things that decides a person's or child's future is their behavior. Learning textbooks and achieving 100% is not enough. People should think that you are the only all-rounder that has good manners. Obey your elders, don't bully your classmates at school. Remember, try imagining yourself in the other person's situation, and you'll know how much you hurt them with your actions. Say hello to your teachers and schoolmates when you see them, people will appreciate your friendliness and be friendly in return.

Above all, try helping your friends in any situation and you'll be remembered as one of the best friends at school! Don't just do it for a good reputation, but for a good future and for yourself. You should also know that words from your mouth are enough to break relationships (or worse) so don't utter foul, discouraging, or insulting words.

Don't take this as a lecture, but as a guideline! Behaviour should be first and then comes academics. Even if you aren't good at school, you'll be famous for your behaviour, and good friends are truly worth more than gold.

This is one of the many questions that children ask their teachers, "Ma'am, I can't study!". Let's ponder on these things : Are you devoted to studying? Are you just studying for your parents? Are you just cheating in exams for getting good grades and marks? The list goes on.

First of all, as mentioned above, study somewhere that has a basic study table. Don't study or read in dim light. If you become bored on learning one subject, study something else that interests you a lot. You must always find alternatives as you go!

We all know the saying,"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Yes, studying all night and not playing just stresses you on work and you'll forget everything the next morning. Play out for about 2 hours or so. It will be pleasant if you go out to play around in the evening, say 5 pm in the evening. This energizes you and gives you extra strength for everything you do.

Make a timetable. And that is all what this section is about. Arrange a time-table with the subjects that are tough for you in the first column. Then put a break column after every 2 subjects so you don't get strained. Of all, try getting a good sleep. Children are supposed to get 8 - 10 hours sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, that will result in sleepy studying and nothing will get inside your head.

Study on each subject for about 1 hour. You'll get refreshed. Also have a snack in between.

Apart from improving yourself, try spreading your skills among others. This is the section that provides you with all the things necessary in sharing your skills. Co-operation is helping each other out so everyone benefits, it's the opposite of competing, where everyone wants to win for themselves. Most learning is done with the help of others, so learning to cooperate is a valuable skill for anyone. Study partners are a wonderful tool. They save time and they help reinforce what you have learned. Divide a reading assignment in half. Study your section using any and all notetaking strategies you have(ie: venn diagrams, outlines, notecards, coloured highlighters etc) When you both have an understanding of your readings, take turns 'teaching/explaining' it to the other person. As you adjust your explanation to your partner, you will reinforce the concept for yourself. It works because as you think about how to explain the topic, you must understand it first!

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a cadillac
Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say,
Thank you for being a friend

(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

Let me tell you bout a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die and float away
Into the night, the Milky Way
You'll hear me call, as we ascend
I'll see you there, then once again
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you about a friend
(Thank you right now, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna tell you right now, and tell you again)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you, thank you, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
