My European Adventure

It has been a while since I write anything. Reading my friends' blogs made me wonder how do people keeps on having an idea what to write. Simple thing such an adventure in the kitchen (Mickey's Adventure in the Kitchen) and old tree (Mickey's Sentimental Old Tree) can be turned into interesting blogs. An orange (Viviana's Orange in the Brain - short poem)and an ice cream (Adlet's Ice Cream Tragedy) can be turned into poems. I like writing my travelling experiences. It was easier, putting my expe

A lovely Day

“Mickey, come out and join us!” Sitting beside the window of the library, I was reading a novel, when suddenly a call came, on the other side of the phone, some lovely girls said this to me excitingly.

“Um…but I haven’t finished my novel…” Actually I was swayed, to go or not to go? After a short struggle in my brain, I decided to join the lovely girls in the lovely playground. Quick as thought, I almost popped myself out of the library in a minute. Upon arriving there, I saw the girls flying a pr

Unity in Diversity

2346536781?profile=originalMy country has a profound motto that is taught to every single student since they started school, the motto is “Unity in Diversity”, or in ancient local language is “Bhinekka Tunggal Ika”. And those words are written in our country’s symbol, the strong bird, Garuda.


I’m blessed to be born in a beautiful country, Indonesia. Indonesia is an archipelago compromising thousands of islands, blessed with fertile lands with so many vegetative. Many cultures, many languages, traditions, and of course wit

Surprise

Sitting in the balcony, bathing the bright shine and looking at the mountain far away, a light smile suddenly appeared on Milan’s lips. She thought of the other day and the surprise, happiness arose from the bottom of her heart...

Milan lives with dad and grandma since she was 7 years old after dad and mum divorced. In her memory, she just knows mum is a pretty woman. Grandma doesn’t tell her much about her beautiful mum, and she dares not to ask her dad either, so “that woman” in their mouths is

Unbecoming Me

I've always felt that life is an adventure, and that something great will happen along my journey. Coming to "The Land of Milk and Honey" was the adventure of a lifetime I've been dreaming of. I wanted so much to come here and experience the things that I've seen in the Hollywood movies. I came here full of hopes and dreams. When I passed the interview, happiness filled my heart because I know the dreams that used to occur in my head are about to come true. But as we know it, dreams and realitie

A few years ago, I adopted two freshly weaned puppies from the same litter. The particular breed of dog is known as a Labrador Retriever. In the US, we just call them Labs. They come in a variety of colors and are one of the most friendly, intelligent, interesting, and loyal K-9 companions (in my opinion) that a dog owner could ever have the pleasure of spending time with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador_Retriever . I'll allow the link to give further explanation of the breed. While at the

Ohh,the crazy place!

Oh,the chatroom world,

that we enter day after day,
fingers on the keyboard,

Trying to express what we want to say,

oh,the fun that we can have,

And a little bit of headache as well,

Lovers or just friends,

What will happen,we never can tell,

Oh,the friends we've made,

and a few enemies we've made too,

so much time we've spent,

Have we got nothing else to do?

Oh,the good people,

or the crazy ones we've never met,

do we have conscience,

when many words we should regret ,

oh, the crazy words,of some people in th

Marry Me, please!...2

Time flied, I was promoted to a higher office and my parents urged me to build up my own family. They found a girl for me who I had never seen before. It is a bit incredible, yes? My boy, you know, at that time most of us had arranged marriage, it was a common way and accepted by all. And I followed their arrangement and was going to marry that girl. 

However, you could hardly cheat your heart, it is always awake. I changed my mind when I heard her hubby died in a traffic accident, left her with

Did your classroom ever speak with a classroom in another country? 

Some teachers here in Saudi Arabia have tried this with English classes using Skype or similar video broadcasting services.  Geography or Social Studies students in the UK, Australia, South Africa or North America may like to Skype with your English class. We all can benefit from learning about other cultures.  Wars usually happen between strangers, not between friends.  As we meet people across the world, our friendships help to

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”

...

So i guess this is the moment to say my goodbye,
it's time to let go and move on with my life.
sure i've been hurt before and my world was shattered into pieces,
but to continue loving you and to hope that you'll love me too is just absolutely pointless.

i know i can make it, i know this for i am strong,
so please stop returning, it is not me where you belong.
set me free, i deserve to be happy,
don't you see, we were never meant to be.

First of all, let me remind you that I am not a teacher of English, so this is just a suggestion. The idea came to me while I was watching this movie called Before Sunset

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvFosXeqmDg

I believe some of you out there are so eager to speak English fluently (like me), you wish you can speak with someone 24/7. My former English teacher used to say “if you want to master English, marry a native speaker of English.” You wish if at all that will happen!

Thus, just like in t

Infinitive after who, what, how etc

1. In reported speech, we can use an infinitive after the question-words who, what, where etc (but not why) to talk about questions and the answers to questions.

verb + question-word + infinitive

                            - I wonder who to invite.

                            - Show me what to do.

                            - Can you tell me how to get to the station?

                            - I don't know where to park the car.
