UPDATED!!!

For a very long time, this blog has no changes at all. Why?

That question came and came to me and fulfilled my inbox, both of my cell phone and my e-mail. Alumni and students asked me all the time since December last year because the last time we up dated this blog was September 2008. So, the story goes like these…..

In February 2008 the alumni of SPEC decided to build this blog as a media to post ideas and thoughts. For several months, alumni helped the running SPEC committee to post articles, pictures, and useful links. After the alumni felt “enough” to help the SPEC committee, all alumni agreed to give the blog to them, 100%. But, after all techniques and password were given to them, no post at all could be found. Some students promised to post more articles later. But until the beginning of this month, this blog still stay still. So that why, the alumni who don’t want this blog to hibernate so long, decided to ask for permission from the SPEC advisors to expropriate (take over) this blog. So, starting from this month, this blog will be 100% managed by alumni.

O ya, we’d like to say “Welcome to SMA N Bukateja” too, to new students of year term 2009 / 2010. We hope some of you would join SPEC to gain and develop your English skills. To know SPEC history, we refer you to our old post (click here).
