De Drie Kleur




Bangunan berarsitektur indah di sudut Jln. Sultan Agung dengan Jln. Ir. H. Djuanda (Dago) itu mencuri perhatian orang-orang yang melintasinya. Kemacetan di jalan itu memberi kesempatan kepada para pengguna jalan untuk menoleh ke arah bangunan yang memperlihatkan streamline. Sederhana, tetapi menawan. Di dinding bagian depan tertera nama bangunan itu, De Drie Kleur (Tiga Warna).

Sejak dua tahun lalu, bangunan itu digunakan sebagai kantor Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional (BTPN). Sebelumnya, bangunan itu pernah digunakan sebagai kantor polisi, bahkan pernah juga dijadikan diskotek.

Melihat keadaannya sekarang, mungkin orang-orang bakal dibuat pangling. Setelah digunakan sebagai bank, bangunan bersejarah itu begitu elok. Padahal, pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya, bangunan itu tak terurus.

DALAM proses perjuangan bangsa Indonesia, De Drie Kleur memiliki arti penting. Soalnya, dari gedung itulah, kabar tentang kemerdekaan Indonesia dikumandangkan ke seantero Kota Bandung.

Bangunan karya arsitek Belanda Albert Frederik Aalbers itu dibangun pada akhir dekade 1930. Pada masa pendudukan Jepang, bangunan itu difungsikan sebagai Kantor Berita Domei. Pada 17 Agustus 1945, Kantor Berita Domei menerima kawat berisi teks proklamasi. Bangunan Drie Kleur menjadi saksi dibacakannya teks proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia di Kota Bandung untuk pertama kalinya.
Jika pada 2007 bangunan itu tidak direnovasi, barangkali Bandung akan kehilangan bukti sejarah Indonesia. Beruntung, Drie Kleur mendapatkan kembali kemegahannya.

Bumi Sangkuriang



Bangunan yang dibangun pada 1957 ini merupakan pengganti Societeit Concordia yang berubah menjadi Gedung Merdeka pada 1955. Preanger Planters (orang-orang Belanda yang tinggal di perkebunan) yang biasa berkumpul di Societeit Concordia beralih berkumpul di sini.

Keri Hilson Feat Kanye West, Ne-Yo



KNOCK YOU DOWN

Keri Hilson
Eh ..not again
Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me

Kanye West
Keep rockin, and keep knockin
Whether you Louie Vouitonned up or Reebok'in
You see the hate, that they're servin on a platter
So what we gon' have
Desert or disaster?

Keri Hilson
I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
And you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I'm a race
but I already won first place

I never thought I'd.. fall for you as hard as I did
(as hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinkin about our life, our house and kids
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
Boy you came around
And you knocked me down
(knocked me down)

Chorus : Keri Hilson
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)

Ne-Yo
I never thought I'd hear myself say
Ya'll gon hate
I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today
(kick it with my girl today)
I used to be Commander in Chief
of my pimp ship flyin high (flyin high)
Til I met this pretty little missile
that shot me out the sky
(oh shot me out the sky)

Hey!
Til I'ma crash it, I don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could back, and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would baby if I could
Miss independent
oh, to the fullest
No, never too much
She helpin' me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
Steady pimpin me just after tonight girl

Chorus : Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down
(knocks you down)

Kanye West
Tell me now can you make it past your caspers
So we can finally fly off into NASA?
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams to
Seem to only date the head of football teams
And I was the class clown that
always kept you laughin
We, were never meant to be baby we just happened
So please, don't mess up the trick
Hey young world I'm the new Slick Rick
They say I move too quick
but we cannot let this moment pass us
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
I coulda got his @ss, someone that's only average
For advice OMG you listen to that b!tch?
Woe is me baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic
I was flyin, now I'm crashin
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now
I'ma ask him

Keri Hilson
Say you gotta put the good with the bad
happy and the sad
That way you bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
(Whoaaa whooaaa)
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
(Whoaaa whooaaa)
And if it hits, better make it worth the fall

Chorus Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

Keri Hilson
Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens
you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You'll see when love comes and knocks you down
Won't see it coming when it happens
but when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
When love comes and knocks you down
