Sunday The Terrible

Last week was a terrible day for me. My cousin and I were playing football infront of the
house to spend time with us .

First, it was really fun until I kicked the ball too strong, so the ball leaded me to the
window and broke the windo. When we want to escape, all of a sudden we all heard a loud voice.
After that, the owner of the house came out of the fence, he yelled at us. We are very afraid of
her, but we do not know what to do. Then, one of my cousins told us to run, we all ran, and
suddenly we heard the sound of skin. Then we know that homeowners allow dogs to chase us.
And we were struggling to run as fast as her as we can.

But, I fell down so the dog managed to capture me and bit my leg. It really hurts me.
Then the dog ran back into the house. My cousin took me to the doctor and told my parents . In

A Boring Saturday
Last Saturday (8th of November, 2014), Me and My family had a long and boring
experience. We attended my mother’s aunt birthday party and also in the evening we met out
technician because we wanted to fix our house in Bekasi. At first I imagined that the party was
an enjoyable party, a huge with delicious food and exciting atmosphere. But, unfortunately, all of
the, were wrong.
The party was held in a restaurant in Kelapa Gading. The room of party was small with
many invitee that attended it. The foods and drinks were not delicious. They were not as
delicious as my mom’s. The situation was so boring. We only did a together lunch, a cake’s
candle blowing and the speech from the son and daughter of my mom’s aunt.We also sang some
“boring songs” together. Because of it, during the party, I only asked my dad to go back to our
house. And at first, my father agreed. I was so happy.
But, when me and my family were in our car, my father said that we should go to our
house in Bekasi to meet our technician to fix our house in Bekasi. In my heart, I didn’t want to
go anywhere again because there were many homeworks and I also wanted to take a rest. But, I
couldn’t deny him.
When we arrived in our house in Bekasi, I was only sleeping in our car. I was so tired.
The discussion between my dad and the technician was so long. I asked my dad to finish their
discussion, but my dad only answered “Later, my son !”. And, at the end, the discussion was
finished at 6.30 PM. We went back to our home and the technician still stayed in our house to fix
my house.
Fortunately, the roads from my house in Bekasi and in Karang Tengah were not crowded.
And we arriced in our house in Karang Tengah at 8 PM. When we arrived, directly I was going
to my bed room and sleeping on my bed.
It was really a boring day. I hope it will not happen again.

Ki Hajar Dewantoro

Ki Hajar Dewantoro, or his real name is Raden Mas Soewardi Soerjaningrat, was born
on May 2nd, 1889, in Yogyakarta. His father was called Pangeran Soerjaningrat, from Pakualam
Palace, Yogyakarta. As a part of an aristocratic family, Soewardi was quite free to enjoy his
education. He had studied in Europeesche Lagere School (Elementary School), Kweekschool,
and School Tot Opleidong Van Indische Artsen or STOVIA. He always thought that education
was one of the most important factors in freeing the Indonesian people of their sufferings from
colonization. He took off his aristocracy and changed his name to Ki Hajar Dewantara. He did
that because he wanted to bring himself closer to the people.

On July 13th, 1913, when he was 24 years old, Ki Hajar was arrested by Netherlands’
soldiers because he made a publication about his article which was titled Als Ik Eens
Nederlander Was (If I Am A Netherlander) in ‘De Express’ media. In this article, Ki Hajar
Dewantara wrote that if he was a Netherlander, he would give his colonies freedom. On July 3rd,
1922, Ki Hajar and with his friends in Sloso Kliwonan Association, established the “Taman
Siswa”. This school was opened to Indonesian people who wanted to study.

When Japan colonized Indonesia, Ki Hajar Dewantara became a member of The Center
of People’s Power (PUTERA). PUTERA was built by Japan to monitor dangerous people for
Japan. Ki Hajar did that on purpose, in order not to be suspected and to be free to move. When
PUTERA dispersed, Ki Hajar was chosen as a member of Naimuhu Bunkyonkyoku Sanyo. It is
an educational organization which was made by Japan.
 He got appreciation as “Bapak Pendidikan Indonesia” because of his ideas in the world
of education. He was chosen also as Minister of Indonesian Education under President
Soekarno’s administration. Ki Hajar Dewantara still tried to develop the educational system in
Indonesia by his brilliant ideas. When President Soeharto commanded, Ki Hajar Dewantara was
bestowed as “Bintang Mahaputera”. He was also called as a pioneer of the Indonesian Press. His
birthday was celebrated as Education Day (Hari Pendidikan Nasional). He passed away on April
26th, 1959. His wife, Nyi Sutartinah, collected things which had been used by Ki Hajar and his
family. There were about 3000 things, and then they were put at Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum,
Yogyakarta. (Source :
