Dear Rosa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a
problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty five years old.
We have been dating each other for years, since we
were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel
very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me
to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never
approve of our relationship ever since the very first
time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first
I thought my girlfriend had the power to defend our
love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me and she
loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be
happy if my family is happy." It means she had to get
approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken.
She ended our relationship just at the time when I was
ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very
happy. We had a lot in common and there were no
conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of
her parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her
aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I
miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk
together for hours. We act like elating because she
loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse
what her parents want. So, should I forget my
girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else,
should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be
back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her
own way. For this reason I’d say that there is nothing
you can do except forget her and go on with your
normal life. Hopefully you can find another and live
happily forever.
Rossa

Singapore had the highest global average peak internet
connection speed in the third quarter of this year, and
ranked third in the world in average internet connection
speed, according to a new report. South Korea and
Hong Kong took the top spots in average connection
speed at 26.3 megabytes per second (Mbps) and 20.1
Mbps respectively, according to the Akamai State of
the internet report for Q3, released by Massachusetts
based content delivery network services provider
Akamai. Singapore came in third at 18.2 Mbps, but led
the pack in average peak connection speed at 162
Mbps, with Hong Kong and South Korea trailing
behind at 116.2 Mbps and 114.2 Mbps respectively.
This is the fifth consecutive quarter for which
Singapore has snagged the top spot. To explain the
difference between average connection speed and
average peak connection speed, executive director of
Deloitte Consulting in South-east Asia Jan Wupperman
used an analogy of a highway, The Straits Times
reported in July. "When the highway is empty, your car
can go at its maximum speed, or peak speed," he said.
"But when there are many cars on the highway - such
as when everyone is using the same bandwidth for
streaming, surfing and downloading during peak hours
- you end up with traffic jams, or a lower average
speed." Connectivity has grown globally, with the
average connection speed growing 2.3 per cent quarter-
on quarter and increasing 21 per cent to 6.3 Mbps year-
on-year, according to Akamai's report. The global
average peak connection speed increased 3.4 per cent
quarter-on-quarter and 16 per cent year-on-year to 37.2
Mbps. In the Asia-Pacific region, India had the lowest
average connection speed at 4.1 Mbps, and the lowest
average peak connection speed at 27.0 Mbps.

Roar by Katy Perry
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I had enough

Dancing through the fire

Louder, louder than a lion
