Simple Plan - Perfect

Simple Plan - Perfect Lyric



Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
but it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spend with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you, proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

mungkin semua sudah berlalu
tapi kenangan tak akan pernah hilang
ketika aku hadir kupikir sudah terlupakan
ternyata kengan yang mnyimpannya dan mengingat kembali

melancolis sekali rasanya malam itu
mungkin karena hari kemarin telah terlampaui sangat jauh
senyuman itu senyuman terakhirmu
semoga kau bahagia mantan kekasih ku

Digoda Si Cantik Penunggu Perempatan

Digoda Si Cantik Penunggu Perempatan


Lima belas tahun yang lalu, tatkala aku hendak pulang kuliah dari lokasi kampus yang berada di kawasan Sampangan, Semarang seringkali aku melakukan kegiatan rutin, yakni mampir dulu untuk sekedar mencari hiburan.
Waktu itu, waktunya agak malam dikit, kebetulan ada kuliah umum sehingga rada lama selesainya. Kebetulan malam itu film di bioskop di kawasan Metro cukup mengundang filmnya. Akhirnya lepas kuliah yang satu, yang satu ke perkuliahan lainnya maksudnya nonton bioskop.
Pertunjukan dimulai jam 10.00 malam, dan film yang diutar cukup menegangkan. Sekitar 100 menit jantung ini dibuat ngap-ngap’an menikmati adegan film. Kelar nonton, buru-buru ngejar omprengan alias angkutan umum pengganti di waktu malam.
Saat itu, aku menunggu omprengan di depan perempatan Peterangan yang cukup
lenggang karena udah hampir jam 12 malam. Cuma beberapa orang yang berseliweran, tampak juga mobil-mobil yang biasa lalu-lalang cukup padat, malam itu hanya ada beberapa saja yang melintas.
Pikiran sudah melayang entah kemana bersamaan asap rokok yang mengepul dari mulut. Beberapa menit berselang ada suara halus menegurku dari belakang, cukup mengagetkan memang. Tapi di satu sisi seperti percaya gak percaya ternyata dia wanita muda putih dan cantik. Lalu kita memulai percakapan dengan beberapa pertanyaan,
“Mau kemana mas,” tanya lembut
“Karangayu,” jawabku sopan banget deh
“Kamu sendiri kemana mbak, ” tanyaku kemudian.
“Tanjungmas, mau nganter ” tawarnya penuh mempesona
“Kenapa nggak!”
Nggak lama kemudian, kami menuju angkutan tujuan ke Tanjungmas, aneh tiba-tiba saja kendaraan itu melaju, meskipun tidak ada penumpang lain, tapi aku nggak perduli yang ada hanya kebanggaan yang luar biasa, ternyata orang seperti aku bisa juga berkenalan dengan wanita cantik seperti dia.
Anehnya, hanya dalam hitungan menit, kami sampai di pintu pelabuhan Tanjungmas. Sampailah kami berdua kesuatu tempat, dimana di sana ada gardu listrik yang besar dan jalan masuk ke sebuah perkampungan yang sunyi, kamipun akhirnya tiba di rumah si cantik itu.
Tiba di rumah, aku disuguhi beberapa potong kue dan air minum, tapi semuanya tak kuperdulikan karena mata, tangan dan tatapan ini tak mau lepas darinya. Seperti tersadar aku beristighfar. Lantas aku segera pamit pulang, tapi si wanita cantik itu menahanku dengan keras.
Tapi aku tak mau kalah, dengan berbagai cara aku harus segera meninggalkan rumah itu. Terus-menerus mulutku berkomat kamit mengucapkan Asma Allah. Namun saat
pulang aku menjadi kebingungan. Jalan yang tadi ternyata areal pertambakan dan semak belukar. Meski panik, aku terus beristighfar, Alhamdulillah ada suara adzan, dan tidak lama kemudian aku melihat lampu jalanan di seberang yang menandakan menuju jalan pulang. Alhamdulillah berkat suara adzan aku selamat dari sergapan hantu wanita tersebut.

adjective clause

At a certain point in your writing in English, you should be able to identify every sentence you write as simple, compound, or complex. Two additional structures, adjective clauses and appositives, will give you a much greater sentence variety within which to accomplish your writing objectives. This page contains a small amount of information about adjective clauses along with just ten very difficult exercises. First, we will define what adjective clauses are and how they work.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It is possible to combine the following two sentences to form one sentence containing an adjective clause:

The children are going to visit the museum.
They are on the bus.

The children who are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
| adjective clause |

In the sentence above, there are two other ways to write the sentence correctly using the second sentence as the adjective clause.

The children that are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
The children on the bus are going to visit the museum.

Some other sentences can be combined into a sentence using adjective clauses in a variety of ways, and they are all correct. Note the variety of ways in which the following two sentences can be combined.

The church is old.
My grandparents were married there.

The church where my grandparents were married is old.
The church in which my grandparents were married is old.
The church which my grandparents were married in is old.
The church that my grandparents were married in is old.
The church my grandparents were married in is old.

In the sentences above, the adjective clauses are underlined. All answers are correct. Note the use of the word "in" and how and where it is used.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PUNCTUATION

Managing simple, compound, and complex sentences, and then adding adjective clauses into the mix can result in some confusing situations regarding punctuation. There are some specific rules when punctuation is permissible or required around adjective clauses (when the information in the adjective clause is non-essential information); however, in my composition classes, I insist that students NOT use commas around adjective clauses for several reasons.

First, non-essential information should generally be avoided in academic writing, at least in the short essays required for these composition classes. Thus, not including the commas will more often be right than wrong.

Second, my Spanish speaking students have a natural tendency to write long sentences using many commas inappropriately. By not using commas around adjective clauses, students can perhaps more readily recognize when a period is required.

Third, I believe it is easier to learn to apply commas later when they are required than the other way around. Indiscriminate use of commas is a hard habit to undo in my experience. Therefore do not use commas around adjective clauses, at least for one semester.

Are you ready to take the quiz?

This quiz is very difficult. These sentences are actually the hardest I could find (in the sense that you need to know ALL the rules in order to get them all correct), so please follow the directions carefully.

1. Do not use commas in any of the completed sentences.
2. Make adjective clauses of the second sentence in every case. (Obviously, any of these sentences could be written using the first sentence as the adjective clause; however, making adjective clauses of the second sentence is harder because it requires knowledge of all the "rules" of writing adjective clauses.)
3. Spell correctly! This quiz is "graded" by computer, so any spelling mistake or punctuation error, like forgetting a period at the end of a sentence, will be counted wrong.
