Greenday' wake me up when september ends.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

like my father's come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends

Totto-chan; the Little Girl at the Window


Totto-chan; the Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi



Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window is a children's book written by Japanese television personality and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The book was published originally as (Madogiwa no Totto-chan) in 1981, and became an instant bestseller in Japan. The book is about the values of the unconventional education that Kuroyanagi received at Tomoe Gakuen, a Tokyo elementary school founded by educator Sosaku Kobayashi during World War II, and it is considered her childhood memoir.
The Japanese name of the book is an expression used to describe people who have failed.

Plot synopsis


The book begins with Totto-chan's mother coming to know of her daughter's expulsion from public school. Her mother realizes that what Totto-chan needs is a school where more freedom of expression is permitted. Thus, she takes Totto-chan to meet the headmaster of the new school, Mr. Kobayashi. From that moment a friendship is formed between master and pupil.
The book goes on to describe the times that Totto-chan has, the friends she makes, the lessons she learns, and the vibrant atmosphere that she imbibes. All of these are presented to the reader through the eyes of a child. Thus the reader sees how the normal world is transformed into a beautiful, exciting place full of joy and enthusiasm. The reader also sees in their role as adults, how Mr. Kobayashi introduces new activities to interest the pupils. One sees in Mr. Kobayashi a man who understands children and strives to develop their qualities of mind, body and heart. His concern for the physically handicapped and his emphasis on the equality of all children are remarkable. In the school, the children lead happy lives, unaware of the things going on in the world. World War 2 has started, yet in this school, no signs of it are seen. But one day, the school is bombed, and was never rebuilt, even though the headmaster claimed that he looked forward to building an even better school the next time round. It was never done and this ends Totto-chan's years as a pupil at Tomoe Gakuen.

This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an ideal school in Tokyo during World War II that combined learning with fun, freedom, and love. This unusual school had old railroad cars for classrooms, and it was run by an extraordinary man-its founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi-who was a firm believer in freedom of expression and activity.

In real life, the Totto-chan of the book has become one of Japan's most popular television personalities-Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. She attributes her success in life to this wonderful school and its headmaster.

The charm of this account has won the hearts of millions of people of all ages and made this book a runaway bestseller in Japan, with sales hitting the 4.5 million mark in its first year.

is not too late to have it!!!! :))

about me

I actually don't know what to do with my blog, I mean, I'm confused what to fill it with anything. what I think, what I want to write, what I want to do, in fact always different. not because no one accord, but it sometimes can not be guessed.

Banyak cerita di Baduy… 7-9 mey 2010

Banyak cerita di Baduy…

Jum’at 7 mey 2010 pukul 13:00
Siang yg cukup terik aku beranjak bersama rombongan Geo NR ‘’08.. dengan Busway menuju stasiun Kota. Dengan kereta menuju Rangkas Bitung berangkat jam 3an. Dikereta berbagai jenis kegiatan tersedia, mulai dari pengamen, tukang jualan, bersihin kereta, dll. Berbagai jenis jajanan dijual, mulai nasi uduk, es, tahu, kipas, tisu, baju, buah, dvd, dll,. Aku dan Maya duduk berhadapan, bersama kami ada bapak2 yang juga menuju Rangkas, saat itu ada mas2 bersihin lantai kereta sewot karena kami cuekin,. Lalu bapak2 yg bersama kami berkata, “jangan dicuekin neng, mereka punya prinsip –lebih baik bilang maaf dr pd di cuekin-”(tp klo maksa kesel juga yahhh, yah kan). Tiba di Rangkas sekitar jam6man, lalu naik ELF menuju Ciboleger, beristirahat sebentar. Lalu mulai beranjak ke Gajeboh, melewati tanda bertuliskan "Selamat Datang di Baduy", sebelumnya mengisi buku tamu dan mengutarakan maksud rombongan kami. Perjalanan menuju Gajeboh sangat panjang, mungkin karena sudah lelah dan juga sudah gelap maka perjalanan menjadi lama. Sampai Gajeboh sudah malam, kami pun bergegas dan istirahat.

Sabtu 8 mey 2010 pukul 04:30
Subuh yang masih gelap bersama teman2 sekedar membasuh muka dan sikat gigi, karena kamarmandinya banyak yang antri maka kami pun turun ke sungai (mumpung masih gelap). Setelah itu sarapan lalu jam 07:00 kami menuju Baduy Dalam. Mengarungi perbukitan dan bergelombang, jalanan nya agak licin (banyak yg kepleset ato gak jatoh). Perjalanannya sekitar 4 jam an (klo org Baduy nya mah palingan sejaman nyampe). Sampai di baduy dalam melihat warga berpakaian putih dan ikat kepala putih, kami pun disambut dengan senyum yang baik sekali..
Kami beristirahat di rumah Jaro (kepala desa),makan siang dengan pop mie (ada warung loh, tp yg jual bajunya biasa kayanya bukan org baduy…maaf saya lupa nanya dah kelaperan kali ya), sehabis makan siang diadakan diskusi kecil kecilan. Kami berinteraksi dengan bahasa bercampur2.
Mata pencaharian mereka bertani, mereka tidak menggunakan pupuk,namun seresah daun2, dan menjual hasil hutan misalnya buah2han. Ada juga yang jual madu (asli org baduy dalem),ada gula aren. Dan interaksi ekonomi nya sudah pakai uang rupiah, gak barter lagi. Ada hutan larangan atau hutan lindung, dan ada hutan produksi. Mereka tidak beternak karena peraturan adat, mereka hanya memelihara ayam…
jam 2an kami beranjak kembali ke gajeboh, tapi melewati jalur Cikertawarna,. Rombongan utuh sampai satu jam an, namun ketika gerimis yang lainnya berteduh, merasa sudah gelap kami khawatir akan tak dapat melihat jalan, maka saya ratna, dewi, fitri, dan anti berniat jalan pelan duluan dengan bertanya ibu2 dan mamang2 yang berpapasan di jalan, perjalanan kami terus menanjak….(dalam hati kenapa terus diatas bukit yaaahhhh,)…. Terus bertanya dijawab lurus aja….sampai di satu persimpangan yg membingungkan antara menanjak dan menurun, kalo nanjak ke bukit lagi, kalo menurun kok ke arah yg tadi,… kami bingung, dan terus melihat ke belakan tapi tak terlihat tanda2 ada kawan2 lain, kami hanya berlima dan semuanya “perempuan” terbesit di pikiran kami akan muncul di berita utama dgn topik ”5mhsw hilang di baduy” (gak keren banget yah).lalu dewi melihat ada orang di sebuah tempat lumbung padi, kami bertanya lg, dan dia jawab lurus aja (lagi) tapi kami tak berani melangkah. Kami memberanikan diri meminta mamang itu unk mengantar kami…dan ternyata mamangnya orang Gajeboh juga….(Puji Tuhan dalam hati ku…..).
mamang berjalan paling depan kami mengikutinya dr belakang, dia bilang ini jalur tercepat (iyah tp mendaki dan menurun..) berjalan terus tanpa istirahat hanya sekali berhenti ketika saya dewi,ratna dan fitri tertinggal, namun pas ngeliat kepala kami ia jalan lagi….buseng dah ni rang baduy hebat amet jalannya gak putus… mamang terus menggiring kami berjalan paling depan.. oh iya,, jarak dr mamang ke anti 1 meter, anti ratna 2meter, ratna dewi 2meter, dewi saya 2meter, saya pitri 1meter…keren yah,…., sangat pegal kaki ini terasa.. seperti tak sanggup lg melangkah… sampai melihat sungai yang sebelumnya kami lewati…berarti udah deket….. tak lama terlihaat jembatannnnn…oh My God,.. sudah sampai,, belum sempat berterima kasih mamangnya dah pergi…sekedar terucap tulus dalam sekali “Terima kasih mang sudah mwnggiring kami”. Menuju penginapan beristirahat sebentar, lalu membersihkan diri… masih banyak rombongan diatas..aku tak brdaya lagi…..dan merekapun sampai sudah gelap.. banyak cerita yang mereka bawa…malam semakin larut kami pun beristirahat…

Minggu 9 mey 2010 pukul 05:00
Berbasuh, sarapan lalu packing, semua sudah siap kami pamit dengan tuan rumah. O iya saya melihat ada bule loh,, kok boleh masuk yah,…..?.?…perjalanan pulang terasa sebentar…. Belanja sebentar lalu dengan ELF kembli ke stasiun Rangkas bitung… naik kereta jam 12:05 Rangkas Bitung-senen….jam 3an sampai… kami pun pulang kerumah masing2…

Perjalanan yang sangat melelahkan, badan seperti ingin ambruk, kaki seperti tak berdaya, keringat bercucuran, air mata hampir tertetes…rasanya sangat sebanding dengan pengalaman berharga tak tergantikan….Baduy akan selalu terkenang, Masyarakaaatnya, rumaahnya, aksesorisnya, sungainya dan tentu saja jalan yang berbukit yang kami tempuh….”Masih mau lagi Ke Baduy??? Ada yg mau nyoba,,, Sok atuh,, saya udahhh.hha…”

Oasis "Don't Go Away"

Cold and frosty morning - there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind.
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind.
Damn my education - I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Me and you - what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong.

[x2]
So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

So don't go away.
