Orientation:
Merry Riana is a successful young woman entrepreneur, writer, and motivator.
Her life’s story is told in a movie, Merry Riana “Million Dollar Dream”, which is
adapted from her book with the same title. This film visualizes her struggle to
survive from difficulty of life and become successful.
Interpretative recount:
The violence that happened in Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia in May 1998 makes Merry Riana
forced to flee to Singapore. Merry Riana’s father decided to send his daughter to Singapore because he
was afraid of the unsafe condition. She went alone to Singapore with the support money that was only
enough to buy food for five days. Fortunately, Merry Riana met her best friend, Irene, who wanted to
go to university in there, too. With Irene’s help, Merry could live in a boarding house. She was also
accepted in one of the best college there. But, it could only be reached if Merry paid $40,000. The only
hope was to take  a loan college student that could only be obtained if Merry had a guarantor. Then,
Merry met her senior, Alva, who was very reckoning. He gave many requirements before he finally
agreed to help Merry. He also had Merry look for side job. Merry realized that she should be successful
as soon as possible. She did various work, from spreading online business brochure, until playing with
high risky shares. The condition of her economy was moving up and down. Problem of love also
occurred when Alva expressed his feeling to Merry. Meanwhile, Merry knew it well that Irene fell in love
with Alva.
evaluation

The acting of Chelsea Islan (Merry Riana) in this movie is very good. She can impersonate Merry Riana’s
character very well. But, it would be better if there was no kissing scene.

Evaluation summation:
I think this is an inspirational movie which can motivate people to be successful at young age. It brings
good spirit for young men in Indonesia. The script writer is successful to bring a set of interesting
conflicts which make the plot of this movie become alive.

I really love all the novels written by Asma Nadia. So when the
Assalamu’alaikum Beijing novel is filmed , I can hardly wait for the movie in
theater. Because I believe it will certainly very good quality movie.
The film is directed by Guntur Soeharjanto. The film with the tagline “If
you do not find love, let love find you”. In accordance with the novel title, the
film is a lot to discuss religion and love. So it is labeled as romantic religious
genre.

was broken heart knowing her fiance, Dewa(Ibn Jamil) had an affair with her friend
Anita (Cynthia Ramlan) just a day before the wedding took place. At the same time,

Bella). On the way Asmara met Zhongwen (Morgan Oey). Asmara began to open her
heart to Zhongwen. However, before continuing their relationship, Asma was

valuable. Moreover, the film was played by famous actors and actresses like Revalina
S. Temat who has experienced in the world of cinema, Morgan Oey although this is
his debut in feature films, but his acting is so admirable.
Essentially, this Assalamu’alaikum Beijing film must be watched. Because it is very

SONG
 Song : Grenade ( Bruno Mars )
Orientation:
( ________________)
        Grenade is a song by Bruno mars. Bruno mars is a Latin. It’s been one of top song in 2011, but this song became famous when one of Talent
Competition’s contestant sang it. Her name is Fathin Shidqia Lubis. This song categorized as sad song
Intepretative recount
          There is a men that love her girlfriend very much. He wants do anything for the girl like jump to in front of the train, shoot his head, throw his
hand to a blade, even catch a grenade for her. But the girl betray him. When the men goes to his girlfriend house with a piano that he wanted to play
for the girl, he found his girlfriend with other men.
Evaluation
           Bruno mars's voice is so  great. It can touch our heart and shakes our soul. The Story of this song is very good because it can describe what
we feel when we are betrayed. The lyrics uses very cool sentence  like “I will take a bullet straight to my brain, for you”. And the lyrics use some
figurative language i.e :
“…I’m dying .( Hyperbole)
“…………….( simile )
“…………….( Metaphor )
“……Only the nights hug me”…( Personification )
The Video clip is so unique because  there is men that bring a very big piano to his girlfriend’s house just for entertain his girl friend.
But, with all of goodness, this song has a bad side. There are too many character in the video clip that not related to the story, so maybe the audients
will confuse with that.
Evaluative Summation
             This song is very great. It almost be complete song. The voice of the singer is very good, the story is so alive, the lyrics is so cool, and the
video clip is so unique. This song is very great

A Review of iPhone 5S
=======================================================================================
==============

Orientation: 
After a long attendance, the iPhone 5S finally officially released. After quite
satisfied with seeing the photos, specs, and speculation on various websites
about the iPhone 5S technology, for those of you who have been eyeing this
latest generation of the iPhone, you should start saving now, because soon the
iPhone 5S will certainly be available.
There are many differences at the launch of the iPhone at this time, the most
prominent is Apple launched two iPhones at once, namely: iPhone 5C and
iPhone 5S. iPhone 5C itself is a cheap version of the iPhone that has the same
specs as the iPhone 5S, but comes with a plastic body and 5 different colors.
Okay, at this time we will discuss about the iPhone 5S which comes with many
latest advantages over previous generation of iPhone.
Interpretation:

Most of us have understood that since the first Apple designed a version of the ‘S’, it
always has the same design as the ‘non-S’, as well as 5S. iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S has the
exact same design with 3 new color combination are: White-silver, black-and-white silver,
and gold. Concerning the design, the iPhone 5 has the same physical with the previous
generation (iPhone 5). However, 5S has a Home-Button button which has a rim section
with a matching plate bezel that gives the more elegant impression.

It has a fingerprint sensor on the round home-button. If during this time we unlock access
to iPhone with code numbers, now with Touch ID we can unlock the iPhone 5S in a more
rapid, practical, futuristic even safer than before – because we are the only finger that can
unlock the iPhone ourselves. IPhone 5S is the world’s first smartphone using 64-bit
technology. The latest chip in the iPhone 5S A7 gives you the capability of CPU and
graphics performance up to 2x faster than the A6 chip (iPhone 5).
Unlike most other brands of the latest generation, the iPhone is not just increasing the
megapixels. The megapixel is still the same (8 MP), but the sensor, flash, zoom and
camera features of the iPhone 5S experience a drastically increase. The latest case is
specially designed as a perfect one for used. It made of premium leather with bright colors
which give the impression of elegance and comfort.
Evaluation:
 iPhone 5S currently only comes in capacities of 16, 32, and 64
GB.
Unfortunately, the product of the genius Steve Jobs is not armed
with a larger capacity such as 128 GB of 164 GB.
As we know nowadays, many users store music, photos, and other
documents in a smart phone device.
Desperately, it absolutely needs a device that has a large capacity
