Fun Being a Teacher

"Miss.. Miss...."
"Yes, Jazlyn?"
"I have a four cars at home."
"Oh. OK."
(we were talking about different kind of vehicles that day, plane, ship, car are among them)
then she went back to her book and did what she'd been told to.

a few seconds later,
"Miss.. Miss.."
"Yes, Jazlyn?"
"I have a fish. A fish and a fish. Fish-fish."
(please try to think in Indonesian to get this one)
"You mean, you have many fishes?"
"Yes."
"Wow. Tell me about them."
"Yes. But the fish don't can't eat."
"What? Are they OK?"
"No. They are OK."
(trying not to laugh)
"So what happened? Did you try to feed them though?"
"Yes. But they just hide. They hide behind the ... ummm......"
(can't find the words she's going to use)
"But they're gonna be dead soon if you can't make them eat."
"Yes."
and again, she just went back writing and drawing on her book.

Poking me with her small little finger, she began to talk to me again.
"Miss.. I have a mango tree in my house."
"Yeah? Is it big?"
"Yes. It is big and tall."
"Have you ever eaten the mangoes?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because the mangoes are on the tree."
(again, trying not to laugh and told her to back to work)

It's their innocence that keeps me going... :)

YEMIMA

What Yemima Means

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality.

Good Things Happened

1. Obama won. I've always liked him. Will he do anything with the visa settlement for Indonesians though?

2. Someone just got a straight A's after putting up the target for these last 7 years.
*I just realized how happy I am for you*

3. Work is great and very enjoyable.

4. I will have a 2 weeks Christmas holiday soon.
*Can't wait!*

5. I just put some noticeable amount (quite an achievement for me) into my saving account.

6. I got some more job. Which means more income. It's always been good to have more money, right? Save it for the rainy days.

7. I am laying on my bed right now, typing this post. Which also means that I have a comfy bed in a descent house to keep me warm from the rain and wind outside.

8. I know that I will always have Him beside me.
U know, sometimes u just can't count on people anymore. Even the ones closest to your heart. After all, they are just human beings.

Judulnya apa ya?

Apa yang kau alami kini
mungkin tak dapat engkau mengerti
satu hal tanamkan di hati
indah semua yang Tuhan beri

Tuhanmu tak akan memberi
ular beracun pada yang minta roti
cobaan yang engkau alami
tak melebihi kekuatanmu

Tangan Tuhan sedang merenda
suatu karya yang agung mulia
saatnya kan tiba nanti
kau lihat pelangi kasihNya



Ada yang tau lagu ini judulnya apa?
I really love this song. It's been my strength for this last years.
Anyway Tuhan, kapan ya pelangi kasihnya itu muncul?
*puppy eyes*
