wajib uji emisi untuk siapa ?

Baru-baru ini, Pemerintah DKI Jakarta mewajibkan seluruh kendaraan pribadi untuk ikut uji emisi, hal ini mengacu kepada Peraturan Daerah (Perda) No 2/2005 mengenai Pengendalian Pencemaran Lingkungan.

Sesuai dengan rujukannya, tentu uji emisi ini ditujukan untuk mengurangi tingkat pencemaran udara di Jakarta (is it?).

konsekuensi dari tidak dilakukannya uji emisi ini, adalah dilarang masuknya kendaraan yang tidak bersticker lolos uji emisi ke tempat parkir tertentu serta terhambatnya perpanjangan STNK mobil (is it ?).

pesimis ? ya iyalah ! yang ku lihat terus terang .. cuman perluasan proyek sana-sini...mengapa ?

mobil harus diuji di bengkel tertentu (kecuali yang beruntung dapat free test), terus yang lolos dikasih sticker (hemmm... percetakan), sebelum benar-benar lolos diperiksa sama bengkel-nya di tune up kalau perlu (duit lagiii), kalau nggak ada sticker ... bisa ditilang (yahhh objekan lagiii)....

berbagai pertanyaan timbul...

mengapa dimulai dengan kendaraan pribadi ? mengapa tidak dilakukan terhadap kendaraan umum, yang nota bene secara kasat mata aja udah keliatan berapa banyak kompor minyak yang dibawa sepanjang perjalanan.. kompor minyak? iya lah bow ! udah tebel, pekat, bau lagi, dan terhembus setiap bis atau angkot itu mengangkut penumpang...
pernahkah ada kewajiban dari pemerintah agar kendaraaan umum tersebut menggunakan bahan bakar gas ?

mengapa tidak segera difasilitasi dan ditambah armada busway? padahal busway jika saja digarap serius, bukan hanya mampu memindahkan keegoisan penumpang kendaraan pribadi-sehingga mau meninggalkan motor atau mobilnya di rumah dan lebih memilih busway, sehingga nantinya mampu menekan tingkat polusi yang ditimbulkan... sayang juga program busway nggak benar-benar digarap serius oleh pemerintah... padahal.. kapan lagi Jakarta punya transportasi terpadu ? hanya mimpi... sebagaimana mimpi para B2W-ers memiliki jalur sepeda khusus ? ah ! sama aja mimpi-nya.

yah hanya mimpi.....
....mimpi Jakarta yang hijau banyak pohonnya (himbau dong gedung-gedung dan rumah-rumah kembali berpohon.. gerakan lagi tuh yang namanya tanam sejuta pohon)...
... mimpi Jakarta punya transportasi yang bebas polusi....(*sigh*) coba liat aja sepanjang Rasuna Said sudah ada jalur rongsokan monorail yang nggak tau kapan mau dijadiin...terus trek KA yang error mulu... arggghhh...
...mimpi Jakarta bebas macet...hahaha.. banguuuuuunnnn.. nggak bakal kejadian...

Stephen Bishop: (you're always be) my heart and soul

The years they come and go
And change will come I know
You won’t be there, my heart and soul

With every time and place
But time cannot erase
The smile that lines your face
As you gaze in mind, you will always shine

And you would always be
An angel making sure I care
The memory, that’s always there
Your dreams won’t die, they live inside of me

You know you’ll always be
My heart and soul
The years roll on and on
I looked and you were gone I miss you so, my heart and soul

The years can make you wise
Now I finally realize
That if I just close my eyes
I can see you there, and the love we share

And you will always be
A dream so real, that cannot die
A trusting faith that lets me fly
A love so strong that just belong to me

You know you’ll always be
My heart and soul

Oh, an angel making sure I care
The memory that’s always there
You’ll always be my heart and soul

prayer for the dying; performed by Seal 1994

Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.

Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.

Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.

Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across the water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.

Been crossin' that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
...learned...............

Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
...burned burned...

I may not know what you're going through,
But time is the space,
Between me and you.  

There is a light through that window
...light through that window...
Hold on say yes, while people say no

Life carries on
...on on on...

I'm crossing that bridge,  
With lessons I've learned....  
I'm playing with fire,  
And not getting burned....  
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.  
There is a light through that window.  
Hold on say yes, while people say no

'Cause life carries on....

It goes on
It goes on
 

Life carries on.

When nothing else matters.

When nothing else matters.

I just don't know what's got into me.

It's just a prayer for the dying.
...dying dying dying dying...

For the dying.

 

Exhale (shoop ... Shoop ...); performed by Whitney Houston

Everyone falls, in love sometimes
Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when...
When we exhale, yeah yeah

Say, shoop, shoop, shoop...
All you gotta do is say shoop, shoop, shoop...
My Lord now, shoop, shoop...

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Life never tells us, the whens and whys
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find a point when, you will exhale

Yeah, yeah
Say, shoop, shoop, shoop..
Say shoobedoo...

Oh, hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's, answers to your prayers
If you're searching for, a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside your soul
And you're half way there

I say shoop, shoop...
Feels all right, you can say shoop...
