Dear God Chord
Bridge
Para pelajar yang mengikuti pelatihan dari instruktur Gabsi Kepri itu, optimis bisa menguasai tehnik bermain olahraga yang mereka yakini dapat meningkatkan kinerja motorik otak itu.
Encik Junaidi Aprizal (16), misalnya, siswa SMK Singkep yang duduk di bangku kelas 2 AK 3 itu mengatakan sangat tertarik dengan permainan bridge.
"Selama ini, saya kira bridge adalah judi, karena alat yang dipakai kartu remi. Rupanya malah olah raga," ujarnya di sela-sela makan siang seusai mengikuti pelatihan, yang sudah diikutinya sejak Jumat kemarin.
Ditambahkannya, ternyata olahraga bridge dapat memotivasi diri sebagai skill solving solution, karena bridge mengajak kita belajar manajemen dan logika matematika. "Luar biasa, bridge dapat mendongkrak IQ dan SQ, karena dalam permainannya harus menggunakan logika dan manejemen. Sebab, dalam pertandingan selalu berpasangan," katanya.
Hal senada juga dikatakan Mardianto (19), siswa lainnya. Ia mengatakan bahwa olahraga bridge dapat meningkatkan motorik berpikir dan mengajari kesabaran serta bermitra.
Ketua Gabsi Kepri, Rusliden Hutagaol yang mewakili kontingen Batam mengatakan, potensi Lingga di bidang olahraga bridge sangat bagus, dan telah terbukti bisa menduduki peringkat ketiga di Kepri.
"Potensi Lingga bagus, untuk itu perlu dan harus terus dimotivasi. Di kelas senior se Kepri, Lingga menjadi juara 3, di bawah Batam dan Karimun," papar Rusliden, Sabtu (14/3/2009).
Untuk tingkat pelajar, kata mantan Humas Otorita Batam itu, ilmu bridge sangat cocok dimasukkan dengan kurikulim pendidikan karena dapat meningkatkan brain atau iq.
"Permainan bridge adalah game, dan kategori olahraga tingkat dunia. Prinsip bridge bertolak belakang dengan judi, karena yang menentukan dalam permainan brige adalah teknik dan strategi," jelasnya.
Menurutnya, ada dua yang pelu dipikirkan dalam bridge, yakni tahap bidding atau tender dan tahap kedua adalah bagaimana merealisasi bidding. "Artinya, kita harus berupaya menghambat lawan saat realisasi terder. Ilmu yang dipakai tentunya adalah ilmu menghitung, logika, manajemen, ilmu komunikasi karena sistem patner, dan ilmu pengendalian diri atau emosi," ungkapnya.
"Inilah dasarnya kenapa bridge layak diajarkan kepada pelajar. Penelitian di Belanda, sebagai negara yang paling banyak pelajarnya memahami brige, nilai keberhasilan dalam berbagai materi kurikulum jauh lebih memiliki nilai keberhasilan dari pada yang tidak memahami bridge," paparnya.
Dalam bridge, kata Rusliden, setiap pemain diajari problem solving skill, yakni agar tidak berdebat dengan patner di hadapan lawan, sebab hasil permainan tranparan. Ilmu ini juga bukan seperti catur yang butuh full konsentrasi. Bridge enjoy dan dapat menstimulir otak, karena dalam setiap gamenya butuh waktu 7 hingga 8 menit saja.
Ketua pelaksana Kejuaraan Bridge Bupati Lingga Cup I, Milong GL mengatakan, selain perlombaan antar kabupaten/kota, sasaran lainnya adalah pengenalan bridge kepada pelajar sebagai materi p Bupati Cup Lingga I Milong GL mengatakan selain perlombaan antar kabupaten/kota, sasaran lainnya adalah pengenalan bridge kepada pelajar sebagai materi pembelajaran baru karena nyata hasilnya meningkatkan minat dan semangat belajar siswa.
Ditambahkan Milong, kontingen daerah yang ikut lomba tersebut terdiri dari peserta Batam 20 peserta, Karimun 6 peserta, Tanjungpinang 4 peserta dan Lingga 8 peserta. Kabupaten Natuna dan Anambas tidak mengirimkan timya. Sementara, siswa yang mengikuti pelatihan sebanyak 55 orang, mulai dari tingkat SD, SMP dan SMA/SMK.
"Kita berharap pemerintah daerah mendukung Gabsi di Lingga," ungkap Milong yang menyatakan acara pembukaan dipimpin laungsung oleh Bupati Lingga H. Daria, Jumat kemarin.
Pantauan batamtoday di Genung Nasional, Sabtu (14/03/2009), dari 14 board session dengan sistem victory, peraih nilai sementara adalah kontingen Batam dan diikuti kontingen Karimun.

Through the Fire and Flame
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal rain
We ride towards the fight
When the darkness is falling down
And the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter
Falls around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain
We watch them as they go
In fire and pain, now once again we know
So now we fly ever free,
We're free before the thunderstorm
on towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They will raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes
Running back through the midmorning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars
In your darkest dreams you still believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now that time has come
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on
So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man
So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Beast and The Harlot
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world
Sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around
I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell
We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

Seize The Day Lyric
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These's streets we traveled on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'll do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
(a melody, a memory, or just one PICTURE)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
(a melody, a memory, or just one PICTURE)
Seize the day or die regretting the time You lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again? Whooooah
So I never want to leave you and the memories OF us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time You lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home) x2
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
