ramadhan around the world

Palestina: Palestina sering mengadakan iftar atau buka puasa massal. Paling enggak,
 sekitar 3000 orang berkumpul untuk menikmati hidangan berbuka. Umumnya dibuka 
dengan cemilan manis bernama falafel.

LEBARAN DI BERBAGAI NEGARA


Kalau di Indonesia, lebaran selalu khas dengan ketupat, bedug, 
dan mudik. Kita intip yuk, lebaran di berbagai negara. Kira-kira
 sama serunya enggak ya dengan di Indonesia?

lebaran di berbagai negara





Di India, malam terakhir bulan puasa disebut Chand Raat (malam bulan). 
Di malam harinya, mereka sibuk membeli baju baru berwarna warni untuk 
dipakai di hari lebaran. Enggak cuma itu, para cewek di sana juga sibuk 
mengecat tangan mereka dengan henna.

THE HUNGER GAMES : FASHION PEOPLE IN THE CAPITOL

Selain ketegangan yang luar biasa di The Hunger Games, mata 
kita juga dipuaskan denganfashion di film ini. Terutama fashion 
orang-orang di The Capitol. Penduduk Ibukota  negara Panem ini 
dikenal sangat fashionable. Rambut dan badan mereka selalu dicat,
 baik cowok maupun cewek biasa menggunakan wig warna-warni, 
dengan kuku dirawat rapi. Singkat kata, apa pun yang ada tubuh 
penduduk Capitol selalu serba wah!

Ada tim kostum dan rambut khusus yang mengatur semua ini.  Setiap
 minggu, ada sekitar 3000 orang yang didandani. Rambut dan baju 
para pemeran pendukung pun dipikirkan secara serius. Nyaris 
semua cast menggunakan wig atau rambutnya diwarna. Bahkan 
ada beberapa yang alisnya pun di-bleached, termasuk Elizabeth 
Banks yang berperan sebagai Effie Trinket. Paling enggak, tersedia 
sekitar 400 wig dalam satu hari syuting. Heboh, kan?!

"Kita memilih warna-warna yang enggak biasa seperti dusty rose atau
 hijau lemon. Tantangan terbesar dari film ini adalah membuat mereka 
bergaya couture dan sophisticated," jelas Linda Flower dari hair department
 Kebayang ya serunya jadi penduduk Capitol...

Seekor Ayam Beranak, Tanpa Bertelur



 Seekor ayam betina di Sri Lanka beranak dan tidak seperti biasanya bertelur serta mengeram untuk kemudian telurnya menetas. Pemilik ayam yang tinggal di kawasan pegunungan Sri Lanka, Ranjith Ekanayake mengatakan bahwa dari enam ayamnya, satu ekor di antaranya tidak mengeram telur. Ekanayake kemudian terkejut ketika ayam itu mengeluarkan anak dalam bentuk utuh tanpa telur. Anak ayam itu tumbuh sehat namun induknya mati.
Pejabat peternakan pemerintah Sri Lanka mengatakan ia tidak pernah mendengar kejadian seperti itu sebelumnya. Koran-koran setempat menerbitkan gambar pejabat peternakan itu yang sedang memeriksa kotoran induk ayam. Ia mengatakan telur ayam berkembang dalam sistem reproduksi ayam betina itu.
Di dalam sistem reproduksi induk ayam, telur tersebut mengalami inkubasi selama 21 hari dan menetas sebelum keluar dari induknya. Namun ayam betina itu mati karena pendarahan internal. Surat kabar Daily Mirror, Sri Lanka, dalam judul berita utamanya menyebutkan, "Ayam yang keluar lebih dahulu, bukan telur."(BBC/ADO)

"One Thing"

[Liam]
I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race

[Harry]
Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

[Zayn]
Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

[All - Chorus]
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

[Niall]
Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

[Louis]
Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

[All - Chorus]
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh

[Harry]
You've got that one thing

[Liam]
Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

[All - Chorus]
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
Yeah, you've got that one thing

"What Makes You Beautiful"

[Verse 1]
[Liam]
You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,

[Bridge]
[Harry]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

[Chorus]
[All]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

[Verse 2]
[Zayn]
So c-come on,
You got it wrong,
To prove I'm right,
I put it in a song,
I don't know why,
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes,

[Bridge]
[Harry]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

[Chorus]
[All]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaa,
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na [x2]

[Middle 8]
[Harry]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,

[Chorus]
[All]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful ([Zayn:] Oh),
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately ([Harry:] Desperately),
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,

[Harry]
That's what makes you beautiful
