Ini Tentang Kita #1

Entah mengapa...
Senja selalu istimewa di mataku
Senja selalu mengingatkanku pada banyak sosok di luar sana
Dan senja selalu mengajakku berjalan beriringan mengenal alunan kehidupan

Tak terhitung sudah berapa senja yang kulewati di sini.. di kota ini...
Bersama desir angin yang menghembuskan aroma perjuangan
Bersama riuh dedaunan yang membisikkan sebuah kerinduan
Dan bersama siul hujan yang merintikkan melodi persaudaraan

Kali ini, kucoba menapaki jejak-jejak ukhuwah kota ini...
Meski aku tahu..
Langit mulai menggumpal abu
Rintik hujan mulai runtuh
Dan jalanan mulai terlihat berkaca

Langkah kecil ini tetap mantap bersuka mengikuti arah setapak
Hati ini tetap menikmati melodi alam yang bertiup sendu
Dan jiwa ini tetap tenang memandang senja yang mulai menggeliatkan pesona malamnya

Kau tahu mengapa?
Karena semua ini tentang kau.. aku..
Kita...
Ukhuwah...
Cinta...
dan Allah...
Bukan begitu?

1.      Weekly test consists of vocabulary, grammar, and generally text.

5.      Presentation. In this activity we must search and download the recording Mathematic Education teaching in English version then we must practice it.

Please! Don't use code

Kode?
Pasti udah familiar banget dong ya sama istilah ini. And you know what, I don't like it some much. Untuk mengerti seseorang yang suka memakai 'kode-kode buatan' adalah sebuah pekerjaan yang tak kusukai. Mungkin lebih tepat dengan istilah agak membuang-buang waktu. Tiba-tiba ngambeklah, tiba-tiba cemberut, sedih. Haruskah aku mengartikan semuanya?
Hey, nggak semua orang punya daya kepekaan yang sama, right? Dan nggak semua orang harus mengerti kamu kan?
Jadi, mulai sekarang minimalisir penggunaan 'kode-kode buatan' itu ya ukh. Kalau ada masalah, katakan saja. Barangkali diri ini bisa sedikit meringankan beban di pundakmu itu.
