Tanjung Pinang has many islands, however our destination is Pulau Penyengat (Penyengat Island). we'll visit my mom's brother whom i've never met before. soo, i'll visit new place and meet new ppl :D awesome!

once again, Ied Mubarak! taqaballahu minna wa minkum, taqaballahu ya karim :)

Meeting Buddies

great!!!
today is soooooooo fun!!!!
my friends and i broke fasting together. yay! i was sooo happy they are my good friends since we were in 1st year in senior high school. we continued our study in different cities like Yogyakarta, Malang, Surabaya, Bandung and some of us in Jakarta.

we were sure really noisy today.
glad, in Uci's home, there's nobody except us!
we talked a lot and shared our experience in student orientation and what we were doing when earthquake happened.
wahahaha everything was sooo fun, hearing what my friends study in college since we take different majors.

we also watched Boys Before Flower too. kyaaa..!! looking at that 4 cute boys sure makes us scream! XD we screamed even louder when watching TVXQ's video. lol XD of course, today was closed by photo session.

Before It's too Late

yesterday, my family went to Cimahi, Bandung to visit my grandpa. well, actually my mom is his niece so that's why i call him grandpa. he got stroke about 6 months ago n it was d first i visited him after he got stroke.

last time i saw him, i remembered about a healthy old man. i mean, he's already old (dunno how old he is) yet he looked great! it was surprising seeing him on wheelchair now. he can't move his right foot n speak well. i hope he'll better soon.

seeing him when he was praying maghrib is really touching. he said d pray out loudly n sometimes his daughter (my aunt, i mean) helped him if he forgot. he prayed "Ya Allah, my God. i believe that everything comes from you so does this sickness. i believe You will take this sickness away. amin"

omg, seeing him praying maghrib loud and prayed like that make me realize that our life is really precious. it doesn't mean that just d old ones who have to pray. we, d youth, have to pray too. although i'm not really religious, i think it's important to pray by your heart not just because it's a must.

My Teaching Experience

yesterday, i read my junior's note in facebook. she wrote about her experience when she taught in elementary school. in my senior high school, the 12th year moslem students have to teach primary students in Pesantren. hmm.. pesantren is a school to learn Islam. if you go to public school, you'll get pesantren every year on Ramadhan. reading her writting about her experince, it's kinda nostalgic for me :P

when i was in my 12th year, hearing that i would teach primary students didn't make me happy at all. me? teaching in pesantren??? what the..

on the first day, i left home without any enthusiasm . the school which i would teach is an old building. there weren't many students in my class although the 5th and 6th year students already were in the same class.

what made me suprised that they looked forward to this pesantren! they welcomed us (me and my friends) happily n listened d lesson seriously. on d last day, we gave them children magazines and stationaries. wow! their face were glowing seeing those simple presents!

when i taught there, i wondered how i was when i was in elementary. did i enjoy Pesantren that much?

Nodame Cantabile [updated]

last week, i found Nodame Cantabile DVDs' which i borrowed from my friend. she (my friend, i mean) loves this anime so much n recommended me to watch it. well, i already knew this anime loooong time, but usually forget to download it, lol.

review:
there's a man named Chiaki Shinichi. he's a pianist who studies in Momogaoka Academy. although this perfectionist is good at violin too, he's ambition is being a conductor. too bad, his phobia to plane and sea don't let him to study in Europe.

one day, he listens to Noda Megumi's piano playing. Nodame, that's what she's called, can play piano without reading d music score, just listening to d music. Chiaki is amazed with her play and shock with her super messy room.

what will happen when they are together? basicly, this anime tells how Chiaki can be a conductor, Nodame will be a great pianist, and of course, their love story.

my comment:
it's full of music! although you don't like classical music, i still recommend this anime to you. Chiaki the perfectionist and Nodame the messy girl will give us funny anime! lol XD

1st Day
