Well, I believe that it’s already been a long time since I posted a non-poem blog.  This time, I’d like to tell you a story, a story about two angels who inspire me so much.

And…the story begins…
A few months ago, I joined a programme called Kuliah Kerja Profesi Guru or The Practice of Teacher Profession (the main reason why I left My EC for a few months was this programme). It is a compulsory subject to take, because without joining the program, the undergraduates will never be the graduates. Thi

This challenge was inspired by English language teacher Dave Dodgson.I'll tell you the truth in a week or so.

Useful language:
"Tara, the first one can't be true..."
"I don't believe that you..."
"Number _ sounds like a true/made up story."
"I doubt that you..."
"You're pulling our leg about getting/having..."
"I think you made up ..."

I collected the most suitable and compact links among them to template for us.

I still read them time to time !

Cause you are here with me

Do you know how long I have been misled?

Keep walking through the night without any light

Get lost and alone in the peculiar dream

Get adrift in the sea of doubt

Then, you light up the lighthouse on your island

I feel the helping hands holding me

You know, my lady, those hands are yours

You wake me up from my never ending restlessness

You teach how to be a better man

You teach me how to love everything I own

You teach me how to treasure this life
