Ed Sheeran - Dive Lyrics (+Bahasa Indonesia Translation)

Maybe I came on too strong

Maybe I waited too long

Maybe I played my cards wrong

Oh just a little bit wrong

Baby I apologize for it

I could fall or I could fly

Here in your aeroplane

And I could live, I could die

Hanging on the words you say

I've been known to give my all

And jumping in harder than

10,000 rocks on the lake

[Chorus:]

So don't call me baby

Unless you mean it

And don't tell me you need me

If you don't believe it

So let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you

You're a mystery

I have traveled the world

And there's no other girl like you, no one

What's your history?

Do you have a tendency to lead some people on?

Cause I heard you do

I could fall or I could fly

Here in your aeroplane

And I could live, I could die

Hanging on the words you say

And I've been known to give my all

And lie awake, every day

Don't know how much I can take

[Chorus:]

So don't call me baby

Unless you mean it

And don't tell me you need me

If you don't believe it

So let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you

I could fall or I could fly

Here in your aeroplane

I could live, I could die

Hanging on the words you say

I've been known to give my all

Sitting back, looking at

Every mess that I made

[Chorus:]

So don't call me baby

Unless you mean it

And don't tell me you need me

If you don't believe it

let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you

Before I dive right into you

Before I dive right into you

(Bahasa Indonesia Translation)

Oh, mungkin aku di tarkdirkan begitu kuat

Mungkin aku menanti begitu lama

Mungkin aku bermain kartuku salah

Oh, hanya sedikit yang salah

Sayang aku minta maaf akan itu

Aku bisa jatuh ataupun bisa terbang

Di sini di pesawat terbangmu

Dan aku bisa hidup, aku bisa mati

Tersangkut dengan akta-kata yang kau katakan

Dan aku pasti berikan seluruh diriku

Dan melompat lebih sulit dari

Sepuluh ribu batu di danau

[Chorus:]

Lantas jangan panggil aku sayang

Terkecuali kau bermaksud

Jangan bilang kau membutuhkanku

Bila kau tak percaya

Biarkanlah aku tahu yang sebenarnya

Sebelun aku terjatuh padamu

Kaulah misteri

Aku telah berkeliling dunia, tak ada gadis yang sepertimu

Tak seorangpun, apa asal-usulmu?

Apa kau berhasrat untuk permainkan orang? 

Karena aku dengar kau melakukannya

Aku bisa jatuh ataupun bisa terbang

Di sini di pesawat terbangmu

Dan aku bisa hidup, aku bisa mati

Tersangkut dengan akta-kata yang kau katakan

Dan aku pasti berikan seluruh diriku

Dan terjaga setiap hari

Tak tahu betapa banyak yang bisa kutanggung

[Chorus:]

Lantas jangan panggil aku sayang

Terkecuali kau bermaksud

Jangan bilang kau membutuhkanku

Bila kau tak percaya

Biarkanlah aku tahu yang sebenarnya

Sebelum aku terjatuh padamu

Aku bisa jatuh ataupun bisa terbang

Di sini di pesawat terbangmu

Dan aku bisa hidup, aku bisa mati

Tersangkut dengan akta-kata yang kau katakan

Dan aku pasti berikan seluruh diriku

Duduklah kembaku, lihatlah

Tiap kekacauan yang aku buat

[Chorus:]

Lantas jangan panggil aku sayang

Terkecuali kau bermaksud

Jangan bilang kau membutuhkanku

Bila kau tak percaya

Biarkanlah aku tahu yang sebenarnya

Sebelum aku terjatuh padamu

Sebelum aku terjatuh padamu

Sebelum aku terjatuh padamu

PARTS OF SPEECH

Parts of speech are the basic types of words that English has. Most grammar books say that there are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. This article only discusses five kinds of part of speech: Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Adverb, and Adjective.

1.      NOUN

Noun is a kind of the word that shows the names of people, animals, objects, fruit, plants, places, objects and other abstract concepts. There are two types of noun:

A.     Concrete Noun

Concrete noun refers to nouns which you can perceive through your five senses (can be touched and observed). There are five groups of concrete noun:

1)      Proper Noun

Proper nouns always starts with a capital letter and refers to specific names of persons, places, or things. Proper noun used to name the institution, organization, day, month, nation, religion, and place.

(Ex: Della, Gunadarma University, World Health Organization, Europe, Merapi, November, etc.)

2)      Common Noun

Common noun is the opposite of proper noun. Common noun is a noun for named a person, places, objects and things in general. Noun doesn’t use a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, unless the word is the title of articles or placed at the beginning of a sentence.

(Ex: table, bag, fan, book, car, burger, bus, photo, cafeteria, etc.)

3)      Countable Noun

Countable noun refers to anything that is countable, and has a singular and plural form.

(Ex: cat;<singular>/cats;<plural>, ball;<singular>/balls;<plural>, watch;<singular>/watches;<plural>, etc.)

4)      Uncountable Noun

Uncountable noun is the opposite of countable noun. Uncountable noun is a noun that can’t be counted and and it needs to have “counters” to quantify it. The examples of counters are kilo, litre, cup, meter.

(Ex: sugar, rice, oil, flour, garter, etc.)

5)      Collective Noun

Collective noun used to named a group or a set (consisting of more than one member). This noun can be a person, animal, object or abstract.

(Ex: committee, staff, flock, etc.)

B.      Abstract Noun

Abstract nouns name things we cannot see, touch, or detect readily through our senses. Abstract nouns name ideas, measurement, emotions, or qualities.

(Ex: happiness, fear, beauty, freedom, courage, etc.)

2.      PRONOUN

Pronoun is a part of a speech which functions as a replacement for a noun. There are several types of pronoun:

A.     Personal Pronoun

Personal pronoun is used for people, animals, objects, or anything specific. The form of this pronoun is depending on the role (subject, object, possessive), quantity of something, and gender of the noun that was replaced. Here is a table to differentiate the roles of pronoun:

Number	Person	Case
		Subjective	Objective	Possessive
Singular	1st	I	Me	Mine
	2nd	You	You	Yours
	3rd	She, he, it	Her, him, it	Hers, his, its
Plural	1st	We	Us	Ours
	2nd	You	You	Yours
	3rd	They	Them	Theirs

B.      Demonstrative Pronoun

Demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that uses a number of parameters (number) and distance (distance). Noun replaced generally in the form of objects, but can also be a person or thing.

(Ex: this, that, these and those.)

C.      Interrogative Pronoun

Interrogative pronoun is a pronoun used to ask questions.

(Ex: who, whom, which, whose and what, as well as the pronoun with suffix -ever: whoever, whomever, whichever and whatever)

D.     Relative Pronoun

Relative pronoun is to create the relative pronoun clause (subordinate clause that describes a noun in the main clause of a complex sentence). The relative pronoun can be subject, object, or possessive and does not represent the number (singular or plural) and gender (male or female) and those positions.

(Ex: who, whom, whose, which, and that and indefinite relative pronoun with suffix -ever, namely whoever, whomever, and whichever.)

E.      Reflexive Pronoun

Reflexive pronoun is used to explain that the subject (such as people or animals) receives the action of the verb (reciprocal action) in a sentence.

(Ex: myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself (singular) and yourselves, ourselves, and themselves (plural).)

F.       Reciprocal Pronoun

Reciprocal pronoun is used in sentence where two or more subjects do the same action against each other.

(Ex: each other and one another.)

3.      ADJECTIVE

Adjective is used to describe a noun or a pronoun. It is located before a noun. Adjectives can specify the quality, the size, and the number of nouns or pronouns.

(Ex: beautiful, smart, big, tall, hot, polite, sweet, dirty, many, a lot of, any, some, etc.)

4.      VERB

Verb is used to indicate the action of the subject, show events, or situation. Verb is the most important part of a speech, for without a verb, a sentence would not exist. There are several types of verbs:

A.     Transitive and Intransitive Verb

Transitive is a verb followed by a direct object to take action from the subject, (ex: hit, touch, buy, etc.). Instead, Intransitive verb is a verb that is not followed by a direct object as the recipient of the action (ex: arrive, go, cry, etc.) because the actions taken not involved the direct object.

watch	watched	watched	begin	began	begun
wash	washed	washed	bend	bent	bent
laugh	laughed	laughed	sing	sang	sung

PRO-SIDE in Using Contactless Payment System in Indonesia

“Right now, retailers need to get to grips with the down of contactless payment. In the past week there has been a raft of announcements and news on alternative payment methods. Technologies everywhere are still convinced that they can come up with something better than cash for smaller transactions. The alternative method that retailers must consider in the immediate future is contactless payment. A few stories in London have gone live with the Barclaycard Business. Contactless payment system already more than 1.000 other sites have signed up to use it and 3.000 consumers have registered their interest in the system’s One Pulse contactless card.”

One of the example of using contactless payment system is applied by digital cash called e-Money. How is its application in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, almost all major telecom operators already took participation into the digital cash industry. Reported by Bank of Indonesia, the total value of e-money transactions in 2013 reached Rp 6,7 billion per day or Rp 2 trillion per year. While the total value of transactions in Indonesia is Rp 260 trillion per year. However, the adoption and expansion of using digital money in Indonesia still faces many obstacles and challenges. The public has been accustomed to use physical money which makes it difficult to move to digital money.

If there's a pro, then there's a contra to this statement. However, here I am standing on the Pro-side and will be giving some explanation why we should move to digital cash/e-Money.

• Could we use or apply it in Indonesia?

Yes of course we could! With the benefits and procedures, e-Money could be applied in Indonesia. The procedures are not too complicated because it's aligned with the existing IT developments. Indonesians are also no longer the ordinary people who find it difficult with technology. We just need to hold the demo about the use of digital money a few times and the public would be quickly understood.

• What are the advantages or benefits that we got as a consumer?

As a consumer, we will be given many benefits by using e-Money, such as:

1. Convenience. Having an e-money card that is handy and lightweight is much more convenient than carrying around cash. The users will be comfortable not having to bring a heavy purse.
2. Safer. The existence of the code used to lock the system in the card, allowing users to lock their money in the card so if the card is lost or stolen, others won't be able to use that money.
3. Time savings. Money transfer between virtual accounts usually takes a few minutes, while a wire transfer or a postal one may take several days. Also, you won't waste your time waiting in lines at a bank or post office.
4. User-friendly. Usually every service is designed to reach the widest possible audience, so it has the intuitively understandable user interface. In addition, there is always the opportunity to submit a question to a support team, which often works 24/7. Anyway you can always get an answer using the forums on the subject. 

• Which one would you prefer: card, cash or mobile phone?

I prefer card and mobile phone, because I always bring my wallet and mobile phone, so it will be easy for me to use it anytime and anywhere.
