Familie

Keluarga. Kita semua punya keluarga. Ada yang keluarganya besar, ada yang kecil. Ada yang keluarganya utuh, namun ada juga yang keluarganya sudah terpecah. Ada juga keluarga yang hubungannya sangat erat, mereka sering bertemu dan memberi kabar. Namun ada juga yang...tidak se-erat itu. Mereka jarang mengobrol, jarang berjumpa, menyapa pun tidak.

Every family has their own problems. Ada yang problem nya di-solve barengbareng. Ada yang problemnya dibuang jauhjauh trus pretend it doesn't exist. Tapi ada juga beberapa keluarga yang problemnya selau diinget tapi gapernah dipecahkan.

Keluarga gue... bukanlah keluarga yang perfect. Yang akur, sering ketemu, sering ngobrol, trus...ya pokoknya apapun yg lo bayang the perfect family, itu bukanlah keluarga gue.

Keluarga gue...bisa dibilang banyak masalahnya. Gue gabakal ceritain tentang masalah yang benerbener personal and confidential or whatsoever gitu sih tapi.. ya gue ada satu masalah yang bebanin pikiran gue banget dan gue mau keluarin uneg-uneg aja disini. Toh, yang baca juga paling bisa diitung pake jari yegaksih. Disini kan berasa ngomong ke diri sendiri-_-

Jadi problem yg lagi gue hadapin itu antara gue sama nyokap gue. Kalo lo tau gue, lo tau bokap gue jarang di rumah jadi gue gaterlalu deket by heart sama bokap. Nyokap gue mau punya keluarga yang harmonis trus erat by heart gitudeh jadi dia tuh sering banget bawelin gue, "Mir, ngobrol dong sama ayah." "Kamu ngomong dong sama ayah mumpung ayah di rumah" "Jangan ngomong sama ayah pas minta uang doang" "Kamu tuh kayak gapunya ayah aja gapernah ngomong"

Perintah itu udah sering banget gue denger. Tapi... gimana ya? Masalahnya tuh gini. Bokap gue ini, kalo di rumah tuh relaxation time. Tapi dia menghabiskan waktu relax nya dengan dirinya sendiri. Nonton tv, baca koran, main hp, tidur. Gue kalo mau ngomong tuh... berasa ganggu dia gitu. Gue ngerasa sendiri kalo gue lagi asik laptop-an atau mainan hp trs diajak ngobrol tuh kadang ganggu bgt-_- Lagipula, kalo gue ajak ngobrol, palingan bokap gue gadenger. Dia paling cuma "hmm" "ohh" "iya" gitugitu doang. Gue berasa gadiperhatiin. Kan gue jadinya kesel.

Saking ga deketnya sama bokap gue, kadang gue bingung mau ngomongin apa sama bokap gue. Apa yang gue omongin juga gabakal di denger jadi baut apa? Gue ngomongin Mayday Parade, dia gatau. Gue ngomongin Justin, dia gangerti. Gue ngomongin Lady Gaga, gangerti juga. Gue ngomongin sekolah, dia agak not interested. Ya dia interested-nya kalo gue ngomongin nilai, tapi gue kan maunya ngomongin pengalaman gue di sekolah senengseneng sama temen.

Oke gue mau cerita tentang hari ini. Kan hari ini orangtua gue lagi pada ber-mager ria di rumah dan gue....bosen. parah. banget. Gue pengen keluar rumah trus jalan kek main kek apa kek pokoknya keluar rumah aja! Karena nyokap gue yg gue ketemu tiap hari dan gue agak deket, gue curcol aja ke dia. Sambil kodekode dikit lah biar gue diajak jalan HAHA. Trus akhirnya dia nyuruh gue buat bilang ke bokap gue mau apa. Yaudah lah gue udah kodekode pake becanda gitu bilang "Yah...kan christmas nih. Starbucks yukk kan ada yg christmas specials itu" dan bokap gue cuma nanggepin "hm." O k a y . . . . . trus gue coba buat langsung bilang straight forward. Gue bilang "Yah, GI yuk. Aku bosen di rumah gangapangapain. Jalan yuk" dan dia cuma "hm."
Dan alhasil, disinilah gue. Jam 19.30, di rumah, blogging, bosen. Kalo udah kayak gini tuh... gue udah ngerasa hopeless bgt sama bokap gue. Idk man, mungkin from now on gue gabakal bilang ke bokap gue apa yang gue mau. Biarin aja apa yang dia mau gue turutin terus. And I'm just gonna be one sad, depressed teenager. *sigh*

OH WELLLLLLL itu aja ah haha sepertinya itu udah cukup panjang curhatan gajelas gue.

bYE.

Regeneration

Halo semuanyaa :D apa kabar? Oke gue udah lama banget ga ngepost apa apa di blog ini. Yang terakhir langsung jebret 4 dan itupun tugas fisika gue (thank you Mr. Dela Cruz)

Entah gue kena angin apaan atau dapet penglihatan apa, gue tibatiba kepikiran….

"Udah lama ya ga nge-blog. Post sesuatu ah…"

Dan gue langsung semangat nge-update blog gue!

Tapi… sebelum ngepost ini gue sempet galau loh. Galauin 3 hal tepatnya…

1. Blog yang mana

Jadi gue tuh punya dua blog nih guysss. Yang satu judulnya Life On A Website ea. Jadi sebenernya seharusnya isinya tuh curhatan gue dan yaaa kehidupan gue di dunia maya gitu deh. Tapi misson fail gitu deh.

2. Mau nulis apa

Ini salah satu problemo yang sering banget muncul di kalangan bloggers: otaknya stuck. Stuck gatau mau nulis apa, gatau mau alurnya gimana, etcetc dlldll. Gue, sebagai blogger amatir, ketemu masalah ginian setiap kali mau ngeblog -_-

3. Bahasanya apa

Ini juga salah satu dilema gue. Gue sebagai orang Indonesia merasa gue seharusnya pake bahasa Indonesia. Yaa biar orang yang baca ngerti gitu, gamusti pake Google Translate biar ngerti. Tapi on the other hand, gue dari janin udah diajarin bahasa Inggris sama bapake tercinte. Ditambah sekolah di lingkungan yang ngomongnya bahasa inggris, tambah casciscus lah lidah gue. Sampe sampe selama SD-SMP nilai bahasa Indonesia gue jelek dan nationality gue pun dipertanyakan… (Curcol dikit ya. Oke jadi pas awalawal SMA, gue ada temen nih. Nah temen gue ini tuh ada sesuatu yang nempel di dagu dia. Di pikiran gue tuh mau bilang chin, yang artinya dagu. Tapi entah kenapa, tibatiba gue kepikiran forehead yang artinya jidat. Keluarlah katakata dari mulut gue, "Eh… ada sesuatu di jidat lo!" sambil nunjukin dagu gue. Temen gue ini megang jidat gue dan ngeliatin gue dengan aneh, "Jidat? Kok jidat disitu? Jidat disini!" Dan gue langsung berpikir keras dan baru inget.. "EH DAGU! Maksud gue dagu!" dan gue mikir ke diri sendiri 'duh, bego banget sih lu Mir.')

Akhirnya, gue pun bertanya kepada pacar gue minta solusi. Iya, gue udah punya pacar. Iya pacar. Iya cowok. Ngga, ga gay kok. Iya gue punya pacar. Ga percaya? Gue juga :') Tapi kenyataannya kita udah sebulan dan masih berlanjut hore! Oke ini agak menyimpang…

Pokoknya si kuda laut kesayangan gue ini bilang gue post di blog mana aja yang gue pw. Hasilnya, gue pilih ini :3 trus pas ditanya musti bahasa apa, dia bilang campur aja. Checked. Giliran gue tanya musti nulis tentang apa, dia blg suruh tulis tentang dia. In your dreams, booboo. wkwk kagalaaa. I will write about him one day ;)

Sepertinya itu aja buat sekarang. Sampai berjumpa di post berikutnya!

Activity #4: Ohm's Law (Lab Report)

Aim:

Our aim is to see the relationship between voltage of a circuit to it’s resistance and current.

Hypothesis:

1.   If voltage increases, current increases.

2.  If resistance increases, current decreases.

Theory Background:

Voltage is the electric potential energy. It is measured in volts (V).  With Ohm’s Law, we know that we can find the voltage in a circuit by finding the product of the circuit’s resistance (R) and current (I). The resistance is measured in ohm (Ω) while the current is measured in ampere (A).

Manipulative Variables:

·      Independent: Voltage and resistance of the circuit

·      Dependent: Changes in current of the circuit

·      Controlled: Formula

Materials:

·      Formula

Method:

1.   Open the simulation website

2.  Run the simulation online

3.   Try to increase the voltage and resistance

4.   Observe the change in current

5.   Fill in the table with the simulation (convert the milliamps into ampere)

Data:

Increasing the voltage

Increasing the resistance

Table

V	I	R
8.0 V	0.01 A	800 Ω
2.0 V	0.044 A	45.45 Ω
2.494 V	0.0058 A	430 Ω
6.9 V	0.069 A	100 Ω
6.4 V	0.021 A	300 Ω

Analysis:

In the simulation, it is shown that when we increase the voltage, the current will increase as well. However, when we increase the resistance, the current will decrease. We also prove this in the table. Circuits with higher voltage have higher current and circuits with higher resistance have less current.

Conclusion:

1.   Thin filaments have very high resistance.

2.  The resistance of a car stereo with 12V battery and operates 25amp is 0.48Ω

3.   The current of a flashlight bulb that runs on 3.0V with a resistance of 15Ω is 0.2A

4.   To charge an iPod with 0.85Amps and 35Ω, the charger must provide 29.75V

5.   It’s not a good idea to use four 50 ft cords just to exceed a length of 200ft. If we use four cords, then the resistance will be four times higher. With higher resistance, the voltage will decrease four times as well. With less voltage, it won’t be enough to power the stereo.

Activity #3: Wire Resistivity (Lab Report)

Aim:

Our aim is to see the relationship between the length, area, and density of a wire and its resistance.

Hypothesis:

1.    If a wire length increases, then the resistance will increase.

2.  If a wire area increases, then the resistance will decrease.

3.   If a wire density increases, then the resistance will increase.

Theory Background

Resistance is the objection of a current in a circuit.  Resistance is measured in Ohm (Ω). The most common way to find resistance is by dividing the voltage of the circuit (V) to its current (I). Another way to calculate the resistance of a circuit is by dividing the product of the density (ρ) and length (L) of wire to it’s cross sectional area (A).

Manipulative Variables:

·      Independent: Length, area, and density of wire

·      Dependent: Change in resistance

·      Controllable: The formula

Materials:

·      Formula

Method:

1.    Open the simulation website

2.  Run the simulation online

3.   Try increasing and decreasing the measurement of wire length, area, and density

4.  Observe the change in resistance

5.  Make a conclusion from the observation

Data:

Increasing the wire length

Increasing the wire area

Increasing the wire density

Analysis:

From the data above, we can see that the resistance will increase when we also increase the length and density of wire. However, the resistance will decrease when we increase the area of wire.

Conclusion:

So, our hypothesis is correct. It is true that when the length and density increase, the resistance will increase as well; and when the area increases, the resistance will decrease.
