The Creation of the Teacher
In: Uncategorized
5 Mar 2010
It has come to my realisation that being a teacher is a tough job – especially when I’m assigned as the person of contact in which I have to be responsible for the students’ progress. It might all sound very academic, but as I get to know my students one by one, I become quite attached to them.
The first week is usually the toughest. The students will have to adjust themselves to the campus environment. Some have no problems in doing so, while others might feel overwhelmed. There are also those who are not confident with themselves, and they don’t have anyone to talk to, and this is where I step in.

Fragment of Memories.

This January, the rain has been painting my days in a wet and grimy mood. The cool air, the strong breeze, the white, muted skies and the sudden flourish of water that pours in the afternoon somehow reminds of Melbourne.
I spent six years of my life there, and I finally came back to Indonesia six years ago. And yet, sometimes I’m reminded of it in ways that I don’t think are possible.

I haven’t read such a good novel in a long time and I’m definitely sure this is it. Surprisingly enough, I’ve never read Dee Lestari’s previous novels, and I’m really amazed by her talent in writing because Perahu Kertas is unputdownable as it makes me laugh, cry and feel inspired.

The recent news about the pocong sighting that has been going around for the last couple of days kind of remind me about the supernatural activities at work.
Umm, yeah. Apparently we have ghosts at work. As in, more than one.

Christmas is a time to be jolly. It is a time for celebration.
For me, it is a time in which I will be truly tested.
Everyone at work had told me that the day would come for me to…
Arrange the party! Gaaaaaah!
