Yesterday is a history,
Tommorow is a mystery
But today is a gift,
That's why we call it the present

 do you ever ask yourself "what is the epression i have to make when i see picture like this" in english of course not indonesian?

Surprise or disbeliefs is :

- a feeling that we feel when we heard an amazing news which surprised and amazed us
- an expression that we show/say when we know/hear/see something that rather 
difficult to believe
- used to express something that we can’t or impossible.


Surprise is expressed in the face by the following features:

* Eyebrows that are raised so they become curved and high.
* Stretched skin below the eyebrows.
* Horizontal wrinkles across the forehead.
* Open eyelids: the upper lid is raised and the lower lid is drawn down, often 
exposing the white sclera above and below the iris.
* Dropped jaw so that the lips and teeth are parted, with no tension around the 
mouth.


To express surprises :

- Wow! What a surprise! 
- That’s a surprise!
- (Well), that’s very surprising!
- Really?
- What?
- Are you serious? You must be joking!
- You’re kidding!
- Fancy that!
- I must say it surprises me.
- I find that hard to believe.


To Responding The Surprises :

~ Yeah!
~ It is.
~ Yup!
~ Sure.
~ It’s true.
~ I’m Serious.
~ No. I’m not.
~ Does it?
~ It is, isn’t it?


The Examples:

Puput : Whose motorcycle is that?
Maiia : It’s Redha’s
Puput : Are you kidding me?
Maiia : No, I’m not. 
I saw her riding that motorcycle this morning. 
Puput : What a surprise!

Inttan : How can you say that?
Ella : Well, that’s the fact.

:: It can’t be true.
:: I can’t think of it.
