poco-poco

Balenggang pata-pata
Ngana pe goyang pica-pica
Ngana pe bodi poco-poco

Cuma ngana yang kita cinta
Cuma ngana yang kita sayang
Cuma ngana suka bikin pusing

Ngana bilang
Kita na sayang
Rasa hati ini malayang
Jau… uh… ci ya … ci ya

Biar kita ngana pe bayang
Biar na bikin layang-layang
Cuma ngana yang kita sayang

Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost.
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey.
They tell me your passion's gone away.
And I don't need no carryin' on.

You stand in the line just to hit a new low.
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go.
You tell me your life's been way off line.
You're falling to pieces everytime.
And I don't need no carryin' on.

Because you had a bad day.
You're taking one down.
You sing a sad song just to turn it around.
You say you don't know.
You tell me don't lie.
You work at a smile and you go for a ride.
You had a bad day.
The camera don't lie.
You're coming back down and you really don't mind.
You had a bad day.
Oh, you had a bad day.

Well you need a blue sky holiday.
The point is they laugh at what you say.
And I don't need no carryin' on.

You had a bad day.
You're taking one down.
You sing a sad song just to turn it around.
You say you don't know.
You tell me don't lie.
You work at a smile and you go for a ride.
You had a bad day.
The camera don't lie.
You're coming back down and you really don't mind.
You had a bad day.

(Oh... Holiday)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink.
And the whole thing turns out wrong.
You might not make it back and you know.
That you could be well oh that strong.
I'm not wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeah).

So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Oh you and I.
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost.

Cause you had a bad day.
You're taking one down.
You sing a sad song just to turn it around.
You say you don't know.
You tell me don't lie.
You work at a smile and you go for a ride.
You had a bad day.
You've seen what you like.
And how does it feel for one more time?
You had a bad day.
You had a bad day.

the posies - I Guess You're Right

I guess you're right
And there's nothing I would say to you this time
You told me just what I had to live for
And there's no flight in my fight
And more than that it's so all right, it's so all right

If I meet more than your eye
I guess you're right
If I wake up in your mind
I guess you're right

I guess you're smart
Cause I'm taken by you taking me apart
I could best believe I died to live for
For the hour dictates the need and I am speaking like I'm spoken only for

If I meet more than your eye
I guess you're right
If I wake up in your mind
I guess you're right
If I sink into your sleep and make it deep
I guess you're right
If I never let you go I'll know you so and oh so right

If I meet more than your eye
I guess you're right
If I wake up in your mind
I guess you're right
Can I crawl around your bones and make my home
Would that be right?
If I never let you go I know you so
And you're so right

Take it as a sign
Take in every sound you hear, take every sigh
Take my desire, take it all, take it as proof
Take me in this life I've taken you

Maywood - Mother, How Are You Today?

Chorus
Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter.
With me everything is ok.
Mother, how are you today?

Mother, don't worry, I'm fine.
Promise to see you this summer.
This time there will be no delay.
Mother, how are you today?

Verse
I found the man of my dreams.
Next time you will get to know him.
Many things happened while I was away.
Mother, how are you today?

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

IKAN YANG KELAPARAN (Diambil dari buku "Piano di tepi Pantai" karangan Jim Morgan)

Beberapa tahun yang lalu sebuah penelitian ilmiah yang penting dilakukan melalui sebuah film documenter. Di situ ditampilkan Dr. Eden Ryl seorang psikolog spesialis perilaku. Di dalam eksperimennya, seekor ikan great northern (sejenis salmon yang bias tumbuh 1,4 meter dengan berat 21 kg) dimasukkan ke dalam akuarium besar. Dia diberi makan berupa ikan-ikan minnow, sejenis ikan sungai yang berukuran kecil 6-10 cm. Selama beberapa hari, kamera digunakan untuk merekam aktivias kedua jenis ikan ini.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, para peneliti mengubah kondisi akuarium degan meletakkan penyekat kaca antar ikan besar dengan ikan kecil Setiap kali ikan besar berupaya memangsa ikan kecil, setiap kali pula ia membentur kaca. Kegagalan demi kegagalan ia alami dalam memperoleh mangsanya dan merasakan sakit di seluruh tubh akibat benturan-benturan pada kaca. Ikan besar itupun menghentikan usahanya. Setelah diperkirakan ikan besar sangat kelaparan, peneliti ini mengangkat sekat kaca pembatas tersebut. Ikan-ikan kecilpun dapat berenang bebas demikian pula ikan besar kelaparan tadi.
Apa yang Terjadi ?
Tenyata ikan besar itu tidak berusaha memburu ikan-ikan kecil, sebaliknya ia berenang-renang dikelilingi buruannya. Sebetulnya ia sangat kelaparan, tetapi ia sudah putus asa. Karena gagal mendapatkan mangsanya dan luka di tubuhnya, akhirnya ikan besar ini mati dalam keadaan kelaparan dalam akuarium yang justru dipenuhi dengan makanannya sendiri !
Makanan itupun gagal didapatkannya. Ikan itu sudah YAKIN bahwa makanan itu sudah tidak bisa diraih !

GAMBAR THE GREAT NORTHERN :

Kita yang buang, Bule yang Mungut (IRONIS) "Padahal Negeri Kita Sendiri"

Penampilannya sangat sederhana, bahkan barangkali ada yang menganggapnya ”gila”. Hanya saja, sikap spartannya terhadap kebersihan mungkin membuatnya berhak menyandang gelar ”pahlawan kebersihan”. Itulah Husin Abdullah (64), warga Desa Batu Layar, Lombok Barat, Nusa Tenggara Barat.

"Saya sering kali dicemooh dan dikira gila karena pekerjaan saya ngurus sampah dan kotoran saja,” ujar Husin yang nama aslinya Gavin Birch.

”Kegilaan” lelaki asal Selandia Baru terhadap kebersihan itu bisa dibuktikan di jalan-jalan Kota Mataram. Dia berhenti di bak penampungan sampah, lalu mengumpulkan daun-daun, botol dan gelas plastik bekas, sampai kotoran kuda dan sapi. Dia pun akan memberikan penyuluhan kepada pejalan kaki yang melintas saat dia tengah mengumpulkan sampah.

Kawasan pesisir dan sungai seputar kawasan obyek wisata Senggigi dan Kota Mataram juga menjadi tempat ”bermain” Husin karena di situ banyak sekali sampah rumah tangga yang tergerus air sungai dari hulu. Sampah itu berceceran di pasir, selain mengapung digoyang ombak laut yang membuat kawasan itu tampak kotor.

”Bagaimana turis mau senang mandi dan berbaring kalau air laut dan pasirnya kotor,” ucapnya. ”Mengapa ada penyakit malaria, diare, dan demam di Lombok, sampah-sampah inilah sumbernya,” ujarnya.

Sampah plastik itu dibawa dengan mobil Isuzu pick up, kemudian dibakar, sedangkan sampah dedaunan diolahnya dengan mesin penghancur sampah, kemudian dicampur dengan kotoran ternak, diendapkan selama dua hari. Limbah-limbah yang semula tidak berharga menjelma menjadi pupuk kompos yang sangat baik bagi tanaman, terutama tanaman sayuran/hortikultura.

Alat penghancur sampah yang digerakkan mesin diesel 8 HP (tenaga kuda) itu dibuatnya sendiri, modifikasi dari mesin buatan Selandia Baru, yang juga dilengkapi 15-18 cutting (pisau) dan blower (kipas). Bahan organik kaya akan sumber hayati (bokashi) seperti jerami, daun, dan ranting dimasukkan ke bak penampungan, diproses sampai hancur jadi bubur, yang nantinya dijadikan bahan pupuk kompos.

Setidaknya sudah 12 mesin penghancur sampah bikinannya dibeli sejumlah instansi dengan harga jual Rp 7 juta per unit. Berkat mesin itu pula Husin Abdullah meraih Anugerah Teknologi Tepat Guna Kategori Pengembang dari Pemerintah Provinsi NTB, 17 Desember 2004, berikut hadiah Rp 2,5 juta. Malah dengan peralatan bikinannya itu, kian lengkaplah julukan ”pahlawan kebersihan” yang diberikan banyak kalangan di Mataram.


Ia membiayai pembangunan 46 jamban di Desa Kediri, Lombok Barat. Sejumlah gerobak sampah juga disumbangkan kepada warga Desa Banyumulek, yang merupakan sentra industri kerajinan gerabah di Lombok Barat. Beberapa sumur gali dibiayainya, antara lain di desa-desa yang kondisi lingkungannya kumuh, seperti Desa Batu Layar, Melase, atau di Kelurahan Ampenan, Mataram.

Kepedulian Husin yang kemudian mendirikan Yayasan Cinta Lingkungan Lombok itu mengundang perhatian pengusaha hotel dan restoran di kawasan wisata Senggigi, selain bantuan rekan-rekan seasal dengannya yang tergabung dalam Rotary Club New Zealand. Warga Selandia Baru itu ikut menyokong aktivitas Husin, setelah menyetujui proposal yang diajukan berupa kegiatan pembinaan kebersihan lingkungan pada beberapa desa di Lombok.

Hidup bersih dan sehat juga tercermin di rumahnya, berlokasi di pinggir Pantai Desa Batu Layar. Di atas tanah 33 are, halaman rumahnya ditanami berbagai pohon buah-buahan, bunga dan tanaman konservasi, sehingga suasana rumahnya terasa sejuk. Dia juga menyewakan enam homestay bagi wisatawan dengan tarif relatif murah, Rp 30.000 semalam.

Ada juga ruangan khusus yang digunakan sebagai bengkel kerja untuk membuat pupuk kompos. Dengan alat pengolah sampah itu, Husin bisa memproduksi satu ton per bulan, yang dijual Rp 10.000 ter tiga kantong. Dari penjualan kompos, sewa homestay, honor sebagai konsultan, dan hasil sewa setrum aki, Husin membiayai hidup keluarganya.

Terpikat hatinya

Kiprah Husin dalam dunia kebersihan di Lombok dimulai tahun 1985. Setamat Sekolah Guru di Selandia Baru tahun 1972, Gavin Birch berkunjung ke beberapa wilayah di Indonesia, seperti Pulau Flores (Nusa Tenggara Timur), Sumatera, Jawa, Kalimantan, Bali, dan Lombok. Lombok yang membuat hatinya terpikat.

”Allah-lah yang menunjukkan dan membawa saya ke Lombok,” tuturnya tentang keberadaannya di Lombok.

Di Lombok pula Husin menemukan jodohnya, Siti Hawa, yang dinikahinya pada 17 November 1986. Kini suami-istri itu dikaruniai dua anak, Abdul Aziz Husin (17) dan Abdul Reza Zulmi Husin (16).

Sampai kapan akan menangani sampah? ”Sampai orang mau diajak hidup bersih dan sehat,” jawabnya.
