Toilet tragedy............

     This happened several years ago on my aunt holiday. she was a student in Jakarta., while her parents lived in Surabaya. So she always visited her parents on holidays. On the day she went back to Surabaya again, the flight from Jakarta to Surabaya was smooth. But after the plane had landed, she badly needed to go to the bathroom. So, at the airport, when she saw a washroom with a lady standing in front of it, she entered one of the two toilet stalls without paying attention to the sign.
     While she was doing her business, she heard male voices outside the stall. She started to realize that she was in a men's washroom. Feeling embarrassed, she decided to stay inside and not to leave until the men had left. But then she heard one of them say that the other toilet was broken. Then they started to complain that the person in the 2nd stall ( meaning my aunt ) took so long. So for sure she couldn't stay longer in the toilet . She opened the door and said sorry to all the men waiting outside. she was very embarrassed.

David Archuleta's third album............

       David Archuleta's third album, The Other Side of Down, is simple. However, it's so not right that is simplicity is definitely not enough to showcase his angelic voice. It looks like the label has just pinned their hopes on the singer's success as an American Idol runner-up. As the songwriter for 10 of 12 songs on this album., David doesn't seem to want to leave his comfort zone yet - as proven by the music arrangements. With this album, he just wants to share his fun, and that's how this album got its tittle. 
      Vocabularies    :
       1. Simplicity            : Quality of being easy to understand or use.
       2. Showcase           : Show off something.
       3. Angelic voice      : Virgin voice.
       4. pinned                :  Attached.
       5. Comfort             : State of being relaxed and free from pain or worry.
