BOOM! We did it!

             We were impressed by the fact that we had a chance to teach polytechnic students, especially Commerce Department’s students of PTSB. Even though we had scraped schedule in Malaysia Polytechnic English Festival (MPEF) on the first week, we still prepared for teaching materials since we did not want to let the students down. We made up one’s mind to make the class’s ambiance great. We worked at 9 A.M at Jabatan Pengajian Am (JPA) surrounded by wonderful lecturers of PTSB and leave the office  at 5 P.M. We were cordially welcomed and gradually had good conversation; my heart knew that they were the best soul to share with. Our lovely supervisor, Kak Lin, was really cooperative helping us but actually the case was she had big bundles to be finished. She was generous giving us brownies, drink, and candy.

First class that we taught was PUE 1024 IPP 1A JPA2 BK1. There were 26 out of 32 students. We honestly did not feel nervous yet excited to be in since we have been intensively trained by our lecturers in Undiksha. We were asked to teach physical and non-physical attributes of adjectives. First, we let the students observed describing people’s appearance and personality by listening the audio given. Then, we, together with the students, identified the adjectives into physical and non-physical attributes of people. Next was playing Find Your Soulmate. Teacher gave one adjective for one student and the students were asked to raise the paper up and found their soulmate by looking at the antonym of its adjective. Each of them was asked to classify the adjectives into physical and non-physical attributes of people. The second game was  Stick and Underline. The students were divided into four groups and should work collaboratively. Each group consisted of 7 students. The students were asked to arrange the jumbled words into a correct order by sticking them on the colored paper and underline the adjectives. Reward for the students was a must so we gave the winner chocolate. They looked happy and excited.  We successfully made the students cheerful and moved. 



At the end of the class, we took a picture together and of course boomerang. One of the students said “Could you please teach us again?”, some of them said “This was our first time moving and being active in the class”, and coordinator of the class said “That was awesome!”. We were extremely blessed since we did much fun in the class and put something new into their experience. We are not fully capable in teaching, we highly need more experiences, but we constantly keep learning and this moment was extraordinary!

Bowling Tournament

The day I had been waiting for so long finally came. Playing bowling after doing teaching practice was a must. This arranged due to public holiday (Agong’s birthday). The most special one was playing bowling with the Top Management of PTSB. They might look old in terms of age but their spirit was not doubted. I was so excited yet nervous because this was my first time. I never did it before, but I had watched how the player played on television. Somehow it looked easy, but when I tried to play it, many troubles came. There were 7 teams and each team consisted of 4 people. My members’ team were Rudi, Haznah, and Puan Liz. It was difficult keeping the ball straight; I had to be focused all the time. Since I didn’t have breakfast, I easily lost the focus but I kept trying hard to get score so my team could be the winner. I did strike once, such a lucky person. As the time went by, finally the score came out. Unfortunately, my team couldn’t be on the top three. It was totally fine at ...

Perginya Hanya Satu Kali Saja, Sanggup?

Susah memang mengubah sesuatu yang mungkin memang harus terjadi. Perpisahan? Sesuatu yang selalu dibenci kedatangannya.  Aku sudah berjuang, aku sudah berusaha. Tetapi usahaku dimatamu tak pernah berarti apa-apa. Apakah aku harus menyalahkan diri sendiri? Kita berbeda dan memang tak harus berjalan beriringan. Perempuan mana yang sanggup bertahan ditengah-tengah pengabaian? Percuma kan apa yang aku perjuangkan ternyata itulah yang kamu abaikan. Aku lebih memilih mundur dan dengan ketidaksiapan aku tetap harus melepasmu.  Mencintai seseorang tidak membutuhkan alasan bukan? Karna ketika kamu mencintai, pikiran rasionalmu tidak kamu gunakan melainkan hati yang beperan. Karena logika selalu kalah dengan perasaan hati, itu yang aku alami. Kau mengacaukan hari-hariku, menggelapkan suasana hatiku. Namun, perlahan keburukan itu bisa aku atasi meskipun butuh waktu. Aku sudah mulai terbiasa tanpa kehadiranmu. Ketakutanku mulai muncul. Aku ingin menghindar tapi aku tak bisa ber...

Minimalism #4

Malam itu, aku terdiam di kamarku yang tidak terlalu besar. Keadaanku baik-baik saja, namun seperti ada yang tidak beres. Entah, aku belum menemukan jawabannya saat itu. Aku menimang-nimang kembali perjalanan yang menghantarkanku ke titik ini. Tidak ada yang keliru, semua tampak normal. Barang-barang di sekelilingku menyeret perhatianku, satu per satu kutatap mereka. Kemudian aku berfikir, keberadaan mereka seharusnya membuatku bahagia, tetapi aku merasakan hal yang berbeda. Aku tidak sesemangat dulu, ketika pertama kali aku menjumpainya. Seperti ada yang mengganjal, tetapi aku tidak bisa mengidentifikasinya. Rasa penasaran ini tidak berhenti begitu saja. Sejak malam itu, aku menyelami google dengan membaca beberapa artikel, dan pengalaman orang-orang. Sekilas, aku sudah terbayang jawabannya. Namun, aku menahan diri untuk tidak terburu-buru karena ini perihal pilihan hidup. Aku tidak menuntut kalian untuk menyukai apa yang kupijaki, ataupun menjadi sama. Aku percaya setiap ora...
