Cerpen Bahasa Inggris - Is This Love?

              I was so excited. It was my first high school day. It meant that I was not a child anymore. I was a youth! Very fabulous life was fulfilled my mind. I couldn’t wait to have a boyfriend!

            I walked into my classroom. I met my very best friend since elementary years, Pika. We got into the classroom and sit on the desk.

            “Ta, look at the boys! What do you think?” said Pika.

            “Umm…”

            I looked around for a while.

            “I think no one steal my heart, Pika. They just like ordinary boy, hehe…!!”

            “That’s why, you never have boyfriend, Mrs. Chooser!”

            “Hey, hey! I’m still young you know, so I’ll think about it later!”

            I lied to Pika. Actually, I wanted a boyfriend. But, I preferred handsome, rich, clever, smart, care, friendly, and money saver. But, that was very hard to find such perfect boy like that.

            “Hey, Arinta! Take a look!”

            “What’s now, Pika?”

            “This one is very yours!”

            “Ah, not again!”

            “I swear, cupid’s arrow will be shot in the center of your heart!”

            “I…”

            “Here he comes!”

            Oh, God, what she said become a reality. He got my attention! His face, his hair, his body, his style… Everything about his look stole my heart.

            “See! Love at first sight!”

            “No… no… no…”

            “Huh? Are you sure?”

            “He is handsome, but…”

            “But?”

            “I doubt about his personality, you know!”

            Kriiiinngg… The bell rang. The class started. The first lesson was Physics, and I hate it so much. I didn’t understand any single word of what the teacher said. I felt bored. Suddenly, the handsome boy looked at me. My heart beat fast. Whenever only for a while, but he stole my heart. That made me staring at him.

            “Hey, you, Arinta! Wake up daydreamer!”

            Mrs. Lola warned and screamed at me. She seemed to be furious. No doubt, that was my fault.

            It was break time. I went to the cafetaria with Pika. I bought fried rice and red soft drink. Suddenly, a basketball flew away, and everything turned mess. My soft drink spilled into my clothes. The plate broke. The food spilled away. I got furious instantly. Then suddenly, the handsome boy came to me and said sorry.

            “I’m sorry, Girl. That’s my friend’s fault. I’ll responsible for this,”

            “No… no… It’s okay. I’m alright,”

            Suddenly, I didn’t feel angry anymore. His name’s Darren. He bought me some food, gave me some tissue, borrowed me his jacket, and asked to join him. I gladly received all of them. He’s so nice. I felt in love with him. No doubt anymore.

            As time goes by, I got closer with him, more and more. I realized that he’s really smart, kind, funny. He's very my boy type. There was only a criteria that I doubted. Yes, it was rich, hehe.

            One day, he surprisely asked me for a dinner in a cafe. Oh, God, I was so happy and so excited.

            “Really?”

            “Yes, Pika! He said that I must get ready for dinner! He’ll pick me up at 6 p.m.”

            “Awesome! You’re a lucky girl! Congratulations for your first date! I believe, he will ask you to be his girlfriend! I’m so jealous,”

            “Ah, you’re right. But, that makes me nervous,”

            “No problem! I’ll makeover you!”

            With Pika’s help, I looked like a princess with the high heels, dresses, and make up. I looked so beautiful at least for myself, hehe. Not so long after that, Darren came.

            “You’re very beautiful..” said Darren.

            “Thanks.”

            Later, Darren looked strange and unpleasant to see me. Maybe he felt strange with my dress. Yeah. Actually it was strange, if wore a luxurious dress to a café. But, it was not a problem, as long as I got his praise. Hehe. I got on Darren’s cycle and sat calmly.

            After some minutes, Darren stoped his motorcycle in a café that was not as luxurious as I think. Can say, it was an edge café. I felt useless that I wore luxurious dress like this. How sorrow. I went inside the café and ordered the food. We chatted like always. The foods came, and we ate them. Just usual. But in the end of the event, Darren said…

            “Mmm, Arinta, can I say something?”

            “Say what? Don’t be nervous like that!!”

            “Ahm.. Actually.. Ah, No..no..no.. I feel embarrassed..”

            Deg! My heart beat very fast. And became faster and faster. I didn’t know what the feeling is. My blood flows quicker. What’s wrong with me?

            “I..I..”

            “I what?”

            “May I..”

            My mind flew away. Hmmm, will it be true about what Pika said? My face turned red, but I didn’t want him to know. I bowed down my face. I felt that he will say that word. Yes, confirmed that he will say that word...

            “Ta, my money left. May I borrow yours? I will substitute it later…”
            I felt disappointed. Is this love?

Cerpen Bahasa Inggris - Revenge of a Student

“Kriiiiiiiiiing!”. The bell school was ringing. It was the time to go home. “Students, the last exercise will be used as your homework. Don’t forget to do it!” said Ms. Rachel. “Oh, no! Homework again!” I thought.

I went to school gate angrily. “Hey, Fred! Why do you seem to be angry?” said my best friend, James. “I’m angry with all of the teachers because they always give me homeworks and they don’t want to know how capable I am to do those all. I’m tired with those homeworks!” “I think so! I’m tired with their behavior too! Oh, my driver just came! I’ll go home, see you tomorrow!” Finally, my driver came, not long after James went home. I went home with frown face.

In my bedroom, I slept and had a dream. A grandfather who claimed that he was a fairy who makes wishes become real came to me and asked what I wish. I said I hope the teachers in my school become students, and my friends and I become their teachers. He said that my wish can be realized, but only for a week.

I woke up at the next day. I only thought that my dream was only a dream. I was very panic because I haven’t done my homework yet. I went to school scaredly.

When I arrived in my school, I shocked because almost all of the teachers greeted me like I was their teachers. I got surprised when Mr. Thompson, the one who I hate the most, greeted me with a great respect. I rememberred about my dream and believe that it was real. I met my friends and I requested them to give very much homework to all of the teachers. They agreed with me.

In my class, I explained the lesson to them carelessly, like what they did when they were teaching that subject to me. They didn’t look that they understand about what I explained to them. I didn’t care because they did this to me too.

“Students, I give you a project. It’s in a group. Please make a 3D map of the world from newspaper. This project should be submitted three days later. The group is up to you. One group consists of three persons. Don’t forget to do it!” I said, as Geography teacher.

All of the students in my class complained me. But I didn’t care, because they did this to me and my friends too - didn’t want to be complained.

After they went out of my class, I smiled widely and happily. “Yeah! I did a revenge to them!” And then I went out from my class. I went to the teachers’ room.

“Hey, James! What tasks did you give to them?” I asked James. “I gave them homework from textbook page 100 until 145, page 150 until 200,” said James. “Hahaha! Mathematics is a difficult lesson!” “Yes! I myself didn’t understand about what I explained to them! Hahaha!”

In the next day, I gave them homework from textbook page 94 until 96. But they should write the questions in their exercise book and write the answer in there.

I asked to my other friends, what homeworks that they gave to all of the teachers. All of my friends said that they gave difficult homeworks or projects. We laughed together. We were very happy.

The third day, I gave them very much notes. Most of the notes were what I took from textbook, but I still asked them to write all of the notes. They wrote until they felt tired. ‘Hahahaha’ I laughed happily in my mind.

In the morning in fourth day, I heard they complained that they felt tired. They also felt bored because they had too much homeworks and projects that should be done. But I didn’t care. ‘I would give them more homework and difficult projects,’ I thought.

In Geography lesson, I asked them to collect their project. Almost all of them haven’t finished their project yet. So, I gave them very bad marks.

I thought I should give them exercises. I searched the questions from the internet. I copied them and printed them at home.

In the next day, I gave all students those questions. They were shock because the questions were different with what they studied about.

In the last day, I used that last chance to distribute the result of the exercise. Almost all of the students got very bad marks, like 30, 40, and 50. Mrs. Layla got the highest score in the class. 65.

So, in a week, my friends and I gave all of the teachers too much homework and we glad to see them felt tired. Then, when I slept that day, the fairy came to me and said that it was over.

In the next day, all felt better because all of the teachers were conscious that they gave homeworks and projects too much.

Cerpen Bahasa Inggris - Friends Never Lie

In a Senior High School, there were four students who have been friends since they were in Junior High School. Those students’ names were Alexandria, Senecca, Lindsay, and Angelica.

One day, when they were in 2^th grade in Senior High School, there were three new friends that came from other class. They were Carmen, Jean, and Nelly.  Because Alexandria and friends were kind girls, they wanted to be Carmen, Jean, and Nelly’s friends.

When the break time came, they approached Carmen, Jean, and Nelly. They talked with them. They felt that Carmen, Jean, and Nelly were good girls.

But, a few months after that, there was an event that made Alexandria and Lindsay very shocked. Unintentionally Alexandria and Lindsay heard Carmen, Jean, and Nelly were gossiping. Because of vexed, Alexandria and Lindsay hid and heard their gossip.

Alexandria and Lindsay heard Carmen talked about almost all people in her class. They talked about all people’s bad habits. Even, they also talked about Alexandria, Lindsay, Angelica, and Senecca’s bad habits. Whereas, they have been Carmen, Jean, and Nelly’s friends, those bad habits were not true.

In the next day, Alexandria and Lindsay informed Angelica and Senecca that Carmen, Jean, and Nelly weren’t good girls.

“Angel, Sen, I think it’s better for you to leave Carmen, Jean, and Nelly. They obviously aren’t good girls. They like to talk about other person,” said Lindsay. “Ah, I don’t believe it. It’s very impossible if they’re as bad as what you said,” Senecca said. “You are surely slandering them. You are surely jealous because their scores are better than you!” said Angelica. “No! This is real! I’m not lying! Lindsay and I heard it yesterday!” Alexandria said. “I don’t believe that!” said Angelica. Then, they left Lindsay and Alexandria. “Ah, they’re obstinate!” said Lindsay.

From that moment, their friendship became estranged. Although they were still together, Alexandria and Lindsay always leave Senecca and Angelica if Carmen, Jean, and Nelly came. Alexandria and Lindsay didn’t want to be Carmen’s, Jean’s, and Nelly’s friends anymore. Senecca and Angelica still didn’t believe that Carmen, Jean and Nelly were as bad as Alexandria and Lindsay said.

One day, after school, Senecca and Angelica heard Carmen, Jean, and Nelly when they were gossiping. “Hey, Angelica is fussy, isn’t she?” said Nelly. “Yes, she often talked without stopping,” Jean said. “Senecca is curious too,” said Carmen. “She is…”

Angrily, Angelica and Senecca left them. “What Lindsay and Alexandria said about them was right. They like to talk about all things that is not right!” said Senecca. “I regret for not believing them,” said Angelica. “Yeah, I feel the same way with you. Tomorrow we’ll be on good terms with Alexandria and Lindsay,” Senecca said.

In the next day, Angelica and Senecca met Lindsay and Alexandria to invite them to repair their friendship. “Lind, Lex, we want to say sorry for not believing you,” said Senecca. “Yes, and now, we know that they aren’t good girls.” Angelica said. “Yeah, we forgive you,” said Alexandria and Lindsay together.

Tips Wawancara untuk Lolos Melamar Pekerjaan

Dalam proses seleksi melamar pekerjaan, wawancara sering kali dianggap mudah. Namun dalam sesi wawancara beberapa orang gagal mendapatkan pekerjaan yang didambakannya. Untuk itu sesi wawancara harus dipersiapkan dengan sunguh-sungguh.
Berikut tips rahasia sukses wawancara saat melamar pekerjaan;
1. Berapa gaji yang Anda minta?
Jawab: Sebutkan gaji yang besarnya realistis. Lihat mata pewawancara, sebutkan jumlah, dan berhentilah bicara. Jangan bohong tentang gaji yang Anda terima di kantor sebelumnya, bila Anda sudah bekerja. Bila Anda merasa bahwa gaji Anda di kantor yang sekarang terlalu kecil, berikan penjelasan.
2. Apa kelebihan utama Anda?
Jawab: Pilih potensi Anda yang relevan dengan bidang pekerjaan yang Anda lamar. Hindari respons yang generik seperti pengakuan bahwa Anda pekerja keras. Lebih baik, berikan respons berupa, “Saya selalu diperbudak daftar pekerjaan yang saya buat sendiri. Sebab, saya tidak mau pulang sebelum pekerjaan di kantor beres semua.”
3. Apa kekurangan Anda yang paling jelas?
Jawab: Jangan bilang Anda seorang perfeksionis (menunjukkan bahwa Anda sombong). Lebih baik, jujur saja dan sebutkan kelemahan yang kongkret. Misalnya, Anda lemah menghitung di luar kepala, dan karenanya Anda mengatasinya dengan membawa kalkulator. Tapi, kemudian, susul dengan kelebihan Anda.
4. Di mana Anda melihat diri Anda lima tahun lagi?
Jawab: Gambarkan posisi yang realistis. Kira-kira dua-tiga posisi di atas posisi yang Anda lamar sekarang. Jangan sertakan cita-cita yang tak ada hubungannya dengan lamaran pekerjaan Anda, misalnya, ingin jadi bintang sinetron atau jadi novelis. Sebab, Anda akan tampak tidak fokus.
5. Mengapa Anda ingin meninggalkan kantor yang lama?
Jawab: Jangan sampai mengemukakan hal yang negatif. Kalau kenyataannya begitu, ucapkan dalam kalimat ‘positif’, misalnya bahwa Anda tidak melihat ada ‘ruang’ di mana Anda bisa berkembang. Lalu, jelaskan mengapa Anda menganggap bahwa pekerjaan di kantor baru ini memberi kesempatan yang lebih baik.
6. Adakah contoh kegagalan Anda?
Jawab: Ungkapkan kegagalan yang pernah Anda alami, tapi yang sudah terpenuhi solusinya. Supaya, pewawancara tahu bahwa Anda punya usaha untuk mengatasi masalah
7. Apakah Anda punya pertanyaan?
Jawab: Berikan paling sedikit dua pertanyaan yang terfokus pada kantor baru ini. Misalnya, Anda bertanya apakah kantor ini sudah punya website. Atau, bisa juga Anda mempertanyakan kehadiran CEO yang Anda tahu baru saja diangkat – apakah membuat kinerja perusahaan semakin baik, dan semacamnya. Jangan bertanya tentang kepentingan Anda sendiri, misalnya, apakah karir Anda akan berkembang di sana.

Apa yang menjadikan seseorang selalu sukses untuk menggapai impiannya? Tampil beda dan memiliki keunggulan komperatif mungkin salah satu yang menjadikan Anda selalu berada di dalam posisi terdepan!
Termasuk dalam meraih karier dan mengungguli orang lain dalam mencari pekerjaan yang sesuai. Ada beberapa trik atau strategi yang perlu disiapkan agar Anda sukses dalam melewati tahapan untuk mengejar karier yang diidam-idamkan.
Modal nekat saja, pasti tak cukup.. Di sini juga anda bisa menemukan beberapa lowongan kerja yang mungkin tak ada salahnya jika anda mencobanya.

Fisikawan Indonesia Terlibat Dalam Penemuan Partikel Tuhan

Fisikawan Indonesia, Suharyo Sumowidagdo, terlibat dalam penemuan partikel yang dijuluki sebagai partikel Tuhan, Higgs boson. Lembaga penelitian nuklir Eropa Conseil Europeene pour la Recherche Nucleaire atau CERN mengumumkan penemuan Higgs boson pada 4 Juli 2012.

Dunia fisika dikejutkan dengan penemuan partikel Higgs Bosson. Selama ini keberadaan partikel ini hanya ada dalam model teori standar. "Tanpa partikel ini tak ada akan ada berat, maka tak ada alam semesta. Tak akan ada apa-apa," kata Haryo saat diwawancara melalui voice chat, 5 Juli 2012.

Partikel Tuhan adalah partikel terakhir dalam teori model standar. Ilmuwan mulai mencarinya sejak tahun 1964. Dalam model ini, alam semesta tercipta dari 12 partikel dasar dan enam pembawa gaya. Sebelumnya, baru lima partikel pembawa gaya yang ditemukan.

"Selama ini kita melihat benda-benda yang punya berat, ada gravitasi yang membuat bumi berputar. Artinya, harus ada sesuatu yang menghasilkan massa untuk partikel-partikel itu," kata pria kelahiran Tabanan, Bali ini. Sebuah partikel Higss bisa mempengaruhi massa jutaan partikel lain. Selama ini dia selalu ada di seluruh alam semesta, tapi baru ditemukan.

 
Haryo adalah satu dari dua fisikawan Indonesia yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Fisikawan lain, Rahmat Rahmat, bekerja dari laboratorium Fermilab di Amerika Serikat. Adapun Haryo bekerja di laboratorium CERN di Jenewa, Swiss.

Menemukan partikel ini bukan hal yang mudah. Ribuan peneliti yang ada dalam dua kelompok, ATLAS dan CMS, bekerja bersama untuk menemukan partikel tersembunyi ini. "Ini bukan hasil kerja segelintir orang tapi kolaborasi banyak lembaga dari puluhan negara," kata dia.

Haryo terlibat dalam penelitian CMS di Jenewa, Swiss, untuk menemukan Higgs boson. "Saya bertanggungjawab untuk memastikan komponen detektor beroperasi. Komponen detektor itu harus terus dipelihara, untuk bisa mendeteksi partikel," kata doktor berusia 36 tahun ini.

Lulus sarjana dan master di Universitas Indonesia, Haryo kemudian mendapatkan beasiswa untuk program doktoral di Florida State University tahun 2001. Di situlah dia mulai terlibat dalam pencarian Higgs Boson, berkolaborasi dengan Fermilab. Pada Januari 2009, Haryo menjadi bagian dari tim CERN di Swiss.

Haryo juga berperan dalam pengambilan data dari percobaan yang sudah berlangsung selama bertahun-tahun ini. Dia juga disibukkan dengan kolaborasi dengan peneliti-peneliti lain serta diskusi dengan peneliti yang lain. Dia juga terlibat dalam beberapa percobaan lain mengenai fisika partikel.

Pencarian Higgs boson dilakukan dengan mesin Large Hadron Collider yang beroperasi selama 24 jam, tujuh hari seminggu. Haryo sendiri bekerja tak kalah keras, biasanya dimulai pukul delapan pagi hingga sebelas malam.

"Ilmuwan itu dinilai dari produktivitasnya, seperti pengusaha. Kalau tak kerja sebanyak-banyaknya, sulit untuk menang dari peneliti lain," kata Haryo yang gemar memotret saat senggang. Selain meneliti, Haryo juga menguasai ilmu teknik. Pasalnya, alat penelitian ilmuwan partikel tak bisa dibeli di supermarket terdekat. Mereka harus bisa membuat alatnya sendiri, atau setidaknya tahu cara memelihara dan merawatnya.

Lalu apa sebenarnya guna penemuan partikel Higgs boson untuk umat manusia? "Ini penemuan yang ada di luar imajinasi kita. Pengetahuan baru yang ilmuwan pun belum tahu apa kegunaan praktisnya," kata pemegang gelar doktor dari Florida State University ini. Kegunaan praktis itu mungkin belum akan diketahui dalam puluhan bahkan ratusan tahun ke depan.

Haryo mencontohkan, penemuan ini seperti teori relativitas Einstein yang ketika diumumkan tujuh puluh tahun lalu belum bisa dipahami. Kini, GPS bekerja berdasarkan teori itu. Tanpa teori Einstein, GPS tak akan bisa menunjukkan lokasi dengan tepat dan akan meleset 50 hingga 100 meter.

"Bagi ilmuwan, mendapat pengetahuan baru tentang dunia dimana kita hidup, akan membawa apresiasi lebih kepada hidup ini," kata Haryo yang saat dihubungi tengah menghadiri konferensi International Conference for High Energy Physics di Melbourne.

Penemuan Higgs boson istimewa bagi Haryo karena penemuan ini mengingatkannya pada kejadian yang menginspirasi dia menjadi seorang fisikawan partikel. 18 tahun lalu, seorang fisikawan Indonesia bernama Stephan van den Brick ikut membuktikan adanya partikel quark top, salah satu partikel yang juga mendukung model standar.

"Waktu itu saya baru diterima di UI, tak tahu apa-apa. Saya takjub bahwa ada lulusan UI yang bisa menjadi bagian dari penemuan menakjubkan itu," kata dia. Guntingan koran tahun 1994 itu masih disimpannya hingga sekarang.

Kini, Haryo benar-benar mencapai cita-citanya. Dia ikut menemukan partikel Higgs boson, keping terakhir model standar, kunci dari rahasia besar alam semesta. Namun kerja belum selesai. Penemuan ini baru awal pekerjaan panjang para ilmuwan.

Karenanya, Haryo berharap, penemuan ini menginspirasi anak muda Indonesia untuk menjadi fisikawan.  "Semuanya mungkin asal mau bekerja keras. Jangan takut mencoba dan meninggalkan zona nyaman," kata Haryo.
