MY HOLIDAY

Last holiday is pretty special for me.
In the first day, all of my cousins was cane to my house. Well yea, since my mother is the eldest daughter from my Grandma, so my home was turned to be a base camp.

Mostly, we stayed at home. Not because my home is way beyond comfortable for us, but we really hate traffic jam around Bandung (especially me).

We spent our week watched some good movies, played a PlayStation, and watched some good movies again. Sounds boring isn't it? But not for us.

 Here came the weekend. As one of KV3 members, there was an event that we had to attend. It was Oz Radio's Birthday. Thank you to our friends, especially 3 SHS students whom was voted us so we can joint the event.

We gathered in Bandung Town Hall on 9 a.m. But then our LO contacted us that we should perform in 1 p.m. What a time. We bought a drink and food there. Finally, we sang 2 songs. It was What a Wonderful World and Mercy then that was it. We got a free lunch as our "salary".

While I was on my way home, my friend messaged me that the event was actually a competition. I was shocked to death because we didn't know it before. Another information reached me an hour later. KV3 is the winner of Vocal Group competition. We got the first place! Yeay! We learnt something. We have to show our best performance with maximum effort wherever, whenever. It's a nice way to complete my holiday.

VOTE ME AS YOUR NEW CHAIRMAN!

A great school need a Student Council. What is a Student Council for? There are many activities in Student Council. First of all, it accommodate students aspiration and responsible for holding so many events around their school. If there's no Student Council, how could the teacher know what we want, what is our problem, what is a better way for leading a relationship between students and teachers to be more harmonious. Now, can you imagine how important Student Council is?

People calls me Dinda. Well, my beloved father gave me Dinda Risza Riani as my full name.I study in XI IPA 4 (11th Grade in Science class). I love reading a book because it will make your brain works and this isn't depressing. Some of my favorite subjects are political, law, and economic. Sounds boring isn't it? But don't worry, I really fancy art especially music.

Nowadays, PR (Public Relation) become the most valuable asset in person. I believe in myself, I have such an ability to lobbying people and make some great deals with them. For me, time is money. I work really fast but I don't miss any details. I responsible for my tasks. I would love to moving forward with you guys, sharing a great opinion, advice, and experience. I nominate myself as the President of The Student Council in 3 SHS Bandung.

If I turn to the President of The Student Council, absolutely I will lead our school to be a better one. Discipline is really my thing, as long as you want to work together with me. We will be fine. I believe in us. Lets dream, believe, and make it happen.

Capital Punishment Should Be Given To a High Corruption Case

Capital Punishment Should Be Given To a High Corruption Case

Based on http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty,  Death penalty, also called capital punishment, is when a government or state executes (kills) someone, usually because he or she has done a serious crime, such as murder.  According to World Bank, corruption is the abuse of public office for private gain. Transparency International defines corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Corruption is includes to a serious crime, because it gives many bad effects to their country and their people. There are some arguments about applying a capital punishment to a high corruption case.

The advantages of capital punishment is decreasing the corruption case. People will afraid of the law (which is good) so they hesitate to do a crime. The death penalty will make a deterrent effect and shows that our law is coherent. They can not run from his responsibility, he deserve a punishment as heavy as what he did. People will become more prosperous since allegedly there’s no one who will take their money.

Capital punishment not only has some advantages for some people, but also it has disadvantages. A lot of people said that “it against the human right”. Once you killed people, you can’t bring their life back.  There is possibility put an innocent to death penalty, human life is precious. They said there is another way to punish them.

In my opinion, we should apply a capital punishment in our country. There are so many cases that revealed. It betrays our country and harm our people. If we don’t make a new policy, then the people who is corrupt would not afraid do his same mistake again and again. A study done in 2005 found that the following countries did the most executions:

1.     China (At least 1,770 executions)

2.     Iran (At least 94)

3.     Saudi Arabia (At least 86)

4.     United States (60)

5.     Pakistan (31)

6.     Yemen (24)

7.     Vietnam (21)

8.     Jordan (11)

In those countries, the corruption case was decreased since they issued a capital punishment policy. Lets improved our law strength and find the justice!
