Short Story

CINDERELLA

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters.The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.

One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.

“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.

Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.

A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.

Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

Puisi Ku ^^

Oh, sahabat
Sahabat kau berikan semangat dalam hidup ini
Kau slalu ada untuk ku
Bersama dalam suka dan duka
Bersama dalam tangis dan tawa
Bersama dalam susah dan senang
Bersama melangkah seiring sejalan
Saat bersama mu
Dunia kembali ceria
Kaulah anugerah yang pernah ku miliki
Wahai sahabat ku maafkanlah
Jika ku pernah salah kepada mu
Semua itu karna perbuatan ku yang mungkin tak ku sengaja
Maafkan jika ku pernah luka’i hati mu
Sesungguhnya ku takut kehilangan mu
Ku takut akan semua itu
Ku takut kehilangan kasih sayang seorang sahabat
Ku takut kehilangan rasa persahabatan ini
Ku takut tak bisa lagi bersama mu
Maka izinkanlah aku tuk slalu ingin bersama mu

SEJARAH PEMBENTUKAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI

 

Sejarah berdirinya lembaga Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) diawali dengan diadopsinya ide MK (Constitutional Court) dalam amandemen konstitusi yang dilakukan oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR) pada tahun 2001 sebagaimana dirumuskan dalam ketentuan Pasal 24 ayat (2), Pasal 24C, dan Pasal 7B Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 hasil Perubahan Ketiga yang disahkan pada 9 Nopember 2001. Ide pembentukan MK merupakan salah satu perkembangan pemikiran hukum dan kenegaraan modern yang muncul di abad ke-20.

Suasana sidang MPR pada saat pengesahan Perubahan Ketiga

Setelah disahkannya Perubahan Ketiga UUD 1945 maka dalam rangka menunggu pembentukan MK, MPR menetapkan Mahkamah Agung (MA) menjalankan fungsi MK untuk sementara sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal III Aturan Peralihan UUD 1945 hasil Perubahan Keempat.DPR dan Pemerintah kemudian membuat Rancangan Undang-Undang mengenai Mahkamah Konstitusi. Setelah melalui pembahasan mendalam, DPR dan Pemerintah menyetujui secara bersama UU Nomor 24 Tahun 2003 tentang Mahkamah Konstitusi pada 13 Agustus 2003 dan disahkan oleh Presiden pada hari itu (Lembaran Negara Nomor 98 dan Tambahan Lembaran Negara Nomor 4316).Dua hari kemudian, pada tanggal 15 Agustus 2003, Presiden melalui Keputusan Presiden Nomor 147/M Tahun 2003 hakim konstitusi untuk pertama kalinya yang dilanjutkan dengan pengucapan sumpah jabatan para hakim konstitusi di Istana Negara pada tanggal 16 Agustus 2003.Lembaran perjalanan MK selanjutnya adalah pelimpahan perkara dari MA ke MK, pada tanggal 15 Oktober 2003 yang menandai mulai beroperasinya kegiatan MK sebagai salah satu cabang kekuasaan kehakiman menurut ketentuan UUD 1945.
