Forgetful

Last night I saw a nice movie, starred by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. What comes on my mind is that the movie casts by Adam Sandler should be funny. The result is, yes, it is. The film is funny.

Actually I saw the movie because I was interested of one of the soundtrack by Jason Mraz, so I watched it. It's a common love movie, but the different is the woman only has one day memory because of an accident happened a year ago. If she sleeps, then in the next day, she will forget everything about the last day. When the man met her, he fell in love with her, but the problem is, he has to make her fall in love to him that day and everyday he has to repeat it. During the movie, I keep thinking, how can people love other in that huge quantity. I've never loved anyone deeply, even to my family I guess. I mean, it's not easy to keep falling in love to someone who doesn't even know you. But well again, I know nothing about this word calls l.o.v.e.

Planetarium and Fatahillah Museum

Last Wednesday, I had school visit to three places, they are Ministry of Foreign Affair, Fatahillah Museum, and Planetarium. I won't tell about the Ministry of Foreign Affair in detail, it isn't tourism object anyway, but here is our photo.

in the Ministry of Foreign Affair


About Planetarium, well I will tell little about it. In Planetarium, we have an hour show about universe, planets, sun, meteor, meteor shower and else. It's quite amusing since I have no idea when I will experience it by myself. I mean going out of the earth and see planets are going around the sun, so does the satellites to the planets. In a moment, I felt like I was in the daily night life, looking at the sky and the stars are amazing. You can find more info about it here.

Planetarium


If you like to go to the museum like I do then you will agree with me that Fatahillah Museum is really historic and quite well-organized for a museum in Indonesia. Fortunately, I was there with my students, so we had two nice and friendly guides with us. I went around with the girls, so you will see many cute girls here with me ;). Okay, let's start, the museum is located in the west part of Jakarta. It is very strategic, near to the Jakarta Kota train station and also many other museums, like Mandiri Museum, Ceramic Museum and Wayang Museum, also there is a West Jakarta's Post Office across with the same type of building with Fatahillah Museum, so it's like you go to one place and get more than one experience, isn't it good?

Post office across it

First look in the outside the museum, you will see that Fatahillah Museum which is also known as Jakarta History Museum or Batavia Museum, you will see an ancient Holland building with wide front yard. For me, it is awesome. It's the look of the museum.

Fatahillah Museum


Around the museum, there are many bicycle for rent, also with colonial style, ancient bike and tandem along with with ladies hat, so nice...:). Unfortunately, I was so tired, so that I didn't rent a bike like my students did. In this case, age talks a lot :)). Well then, it's better you go yourself to these places and enjoy!

Let's ride bike




with the nice guide and Hermes :)

I Don't Know

Recently, I have many things on mind. I don't know how is it to be depressed and don't like to be. Getting angry with no reasons. Start to have wrinkled face in front of people I love. At that time, all I want to do is only listening to songs and musics I like and also murottal to conquer my feelings. Anyhow, I feel uncomfortable with such senses.

Many things need to be solved and I need to be happier. I need to say this to myself, happiness is mine. To be happy or not is my decision. Nobody can make me happy or sad. This is purely my decision. Even though, sometime things are not always this easy.

Being strong doesn't mean I have to smile every single day in facing my problem and stuffs, but avoiding myself to be such an annoyed person to anyone I know. Oh, come on, there's always ray of lights after the storm. Make it simple, make it fun, make me happy...

The Power of Wish

We may say that we don't really believe in pray. Sometimes we just feel don't like to pray because of our pray with deeply heart isn't answered as we want. But today, one of my student prove that we have to be brave to pray for every business we have.

The story is about one of my nice first grader special needs student. He had been absent for around one week until I decided to visit him with his shadow teacher who is also my good friend on the last Friday. We visited him and tried to take him to school and he determined not to go. We're trying hard, but it was useless. He still refuse to go with us. We were wondering what has happened to him, since he was so very motivated to go to school before. I ask my friend about some probabilities, but we were still clueless. On the way to school, we say some wish. Wishing him to come back to school soon and be able to learn and play with his friends.

On Monday, he was still absent and we were still wondering if there any mistakes we made so that he feel insecure. Then, we wish he will back to school. This morning, the wish came true. He showed up in my class door step and smiled. No words can really describe my feeling. I was extremely happy. Our wish come to the reality. I'm sure it also because of the prayers of his parents. But anyway, it wakes me, that even if I don't wish seriously, the wishes could come true. So, there are no reason for me to stop wish and pray about all things in my life.
