Interview

Hi! In this post I would like to share you my Q&A session with Alya Afifah, my classmate who went to OSK in Chemistry.

Q : Can you tell me your short biography?
A : My full name is Alya Afifah Bakhtiar. I was born on 11th april 2000. I am a descendant of Javanese and Sumatra or to be precise, Meda.
Q : Okay, since when do you know chemistry?
A :The very first time I know chemistry was in junior high, it was still the basic parts actually. However, I find it very interesting and I actually became fond of it in 9th grade, I also consider it as one of my favorite subjects since that time. It was sort of fun, I guess.
Q : How did you got into OSK?
A : It was actually a coincidence that I had a good luck that time. At frirst I was unsure because I have just started  exploring chemistry in late 2014. I thought I wouldn’t pass the the test, but then I actually passed. Moreover, I proceeded to the province Olympiad. What a surprise! I thanked God all the time for giving such a big chance.
Q : And finally, what is so special about chemistry?
A : I’m not really certain, it’s just fun you know, getting to know how things react, how it changes its form, shape, color, getting to know what will happen if you mix the wrong things. It’s like lesson of life.

Okay so that was a brief introduction to my brilliant classmates. I hope it is inspiring!

Bandung Spot : Unique Parks

Hi! In this post I would like to share you my beautiful city, Bandung. Here we have many lovely spots to visit but now I will just describe the unique parks in Bandung.
Since the new mayor was elected there has been drastic changes here for example since early 2013 the government here has started revitalizing parks here to their former glorious condition. The names and themes of the parks have been also replaced in order to make it look more interesting.
A few of the new parks and their new looks are listed below:

Taman Musik Centrum ( Centrum Music Park)






This park was dedicated to musicians in Bandung, seeing that there are considerably large amount of them in this Paris van Java city.
This park is located between Belitung St. and Sumbawa St.









Taman Fotografi (Photography Park)



 This particular park was created to give space for the photography community for their benefits. Bandung has always been a city with a large amount of photographers.






Taman Lansia (Lansia Park)



The other name for this park is Cisangkuy Park. Lansia is an abbreviation for the word 'lanjut usia' which means senior citizens. As hinted by its name this park is dedicated for the senior citizens who would like to take a leisurely stroll through a park hence the park was created.








Taman Persib (Persib Park)


Persib is the name of Bandung's football club. As hinted by its name this park is essentially a football field for those football maniacs who would like to play football freely. Citizens can use the park freely after they book for their session.






Taman Film Bandung (Bandung Film Park)

This lovely park is dedicated for those who want to watch movies in large screen with their friends for free. It is fully equipped with large screen so it is very entertaining to visit this particular park.










So thats it! Those are few of the unique parks my lovely city has. please do visit them once in a while for it will not be a  waste of your time. Bye!

Song Description : Magic by Coldplay


 

Coldplay just released the first official single off their next album, Ghost Stories. The song "Magic" might just replace "Yellow" as one of their most-romantic songs. Fans everywhere wet their pants and then turned to their significant others to swoon, "This will be the song we dance to at our wedding."
"Magic," though, seems to fall squarely into their musical wheelhouse. It's more mellow than songs like their arena-shaking "Viva La Vida" or Mylo Xyloto's "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." But, it fits nicely between singles like the aforementioned "Yellow" and their driving and soul-stirring "Fix You."
What's nice about "Magic" is the seemingly double-meaning behind the lyrics. Is the couple in question together or apart? There doesn't appear to be an easy answer. Take a look:
Call it magic
Call it true
I call it magic, when I'm with you
And I just got broken
Broken into two
Still I call it magic, when I'm next to you
Seems a little like the girl in question was the one to break him, suggesting they aren't together anymore. The song ends with lines that suggest whatever they've been through, they've managed to weather together.
And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
"Still believe in magic?"
Well yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
If that's the case, the song becomes especially powerful and almost too sweet. Then again, hasn't that melodramatic sweetness always been one of the things Coldplay have going for themselves?.
