You Might Need Brand New Eyes

In this post I will complain about something... Because I am sort of good at it HAHA. (Okay, that capitalised laugh is a lame)

Okay, so have you ever argued with people who always thinks that they're always right without even giving the slightest assumption that the opposition maybe, just maybe, is in fact the right side? Those people deserve high-fives. In the face. With a chair. Twice. From Hulk. HAHA (I'm sure you've heard that joke before) (lame). But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that these people are really slowing down the advancement of the human race in a way. Why? Because I guess two of the things that a 21st century human must have is respect and an open-mind. If you don't have even one of these then by all means I have the right to call you an "utter prick" or a "douche" the Americans might say.

These people tend to think that no matter what, they're always right. And that is indeed stupid. You're lucky if this person that you happen to meet in your social-environment doesn't have power or some sort of "gravitas", to put it in a fancy way. But if he has that, then you might be fucked especially when you have to discuss a certain matter with him and you happen to oppose his views in that matter. I have experienced this. My school headmaster is, I would personally say, this type of person.

And so here comes the title of this blogpost. "You Might Need Brand New Eyes". I came up with this title because I remembered what Hayley Williams said when Paramore's "Brand New Eyes" album came out. She basically said that the album gives a message that sometimes you need to see things with a set of brand new eyes. Which in case you still don't get it, she meant a totally different perspective. That way you can respond to anything and everything in the fairest way possible. And that also means that the people that oppose you has the exact same chance to win an argument or to influence a decision-making meeting (that is, of course, not yet putting the views of both parties into calculation yet).

So if you happen to be one of these people, please don't neglect the fact you are and please stop being a prick to the human race. With lots of love, Fakhri.

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn...

Do you take notes in class?

Hi! It's been a hell of a long time, hasn't it? But here I am, finally back again. You know those people who make Blogs, writes on them, until they finally get either tired or bored or busy and their Blog gets deserted like the most quiet part of the Sahara? Well the first time I decided to make this Blog I was determined to not become that type of person. Anyway, I'm not really into a deep, philosophical talking right now. I'm in a more of a trivial mood if there even is such a thing. And in having this mood, a question just hatched at the top of my head. Do you take notes in class? I mean seriously. Do you take notes when you're studying or do you make notes of what your teacher writes on tho front board? Because I do. But I never revisit my notes. I have a number of friends that like to take notes of everything that has been either spoken or written in class. Some of them even go to extensive methods when it comes to note-taking e.g. buying expensive statione...

Fear & The National Finals

Fear. That thrilling sensation triggered by your brain that goes down your spine and from there, it swarms every centimetre cubic and square of your flesh and skin. That unsettling feeling translated into a consistently rapid heartbeat. It's one of those set of letters that you definitely don't want engraved in your mind. It's that thing that you don't want infecting your thoughts and ideas. It is the very embodiment of "not good". And those words above are probably an exaggeration. But let's be honest, some of it is definitely true and worth nodding your head towards. Whilst I am writing this blog, I am feeling fear. It has little to do with the blogpost itself. But it has everything to do with the Junior High School's national finals that is to be conducted on Monday, nationwide throughout the whole Indonesian archipelago. And you might wonder, what's so frightening about an exam? I mean, towards a certain extent, and to some people, it is sl...
