Reading the news lately made me feel to share this to you, English club members. It’s about someone called Tarnedi, a 54 years old guy and working as a taxi driver for 20 years. But this one, is a special driver. Not because he has the skills like those guys do in the Fast too Furious movie with the crowded and hectic street of Jakarta. What makes him being the news headlines these days is because his English.

You know how old he is, but yet he is still eager to learn English. He didn’t graduate

 When we look up at great people,and wish we could be like them. You look up at your role model and feel as though you can never be that good.

Have you ever paused to ask yourself "why"?
Why can't you be that great? 
Probably your answer will be something like "Look at what I did" "Look at what he does" "look at how he looks"
So its WHAT and DO that makes the difference.
Do you pause and think about how that great person used to BE? Or do you just see him as he is now? Or do you just assumed he w

I have been in heat for a few days
So I'll go and hunt a female deer*
And until the morning I will sit there hidden
So that I can give it a shoulder shot

On the land, on the see
Lurks the destruction
The creature must die
Die!

A young female deer** comes to her feet
She had sunbathed in the high reeds
Makes good tracks deep into the forest
The mirror*** gleams and I grab it
The tail twitches like a finger eel
The shotgun jumps from the sheath

Hunters’ salute

I sweep the bast from the horn****
And aim the gu

Just now Bela woke up from her deep sleep but she has no wish to get up so early. It seems there is dark outside as there is no sign of early morning-Sun-beam. The curtains remains black. " Oh! damn, what can I do in such an early morning"?  This must be the expression which she intends to deliver right now. Anyway,Bela has been living in this two- story building for the last one year whereas her family is staying in a different city.

Actually Bela is here for her study purpose and she is bound t

This a continuance of my previous blog, Amazing Places in Malaysia - Part I.

In this second part of Amazing Places in Malaysia, I want to introduce to you to three amazing islands in Malaysia.

1. Tioman Island

Tioman Island is a small island in the South China Sea, about 32 km off the sea coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Tioman Island looks like a sleeping dragon. This is because according to a legend, a Chinese princess was on her way to Singapore and decided to stop and rest at a calm and warm water

My friend how are you?

I'll share a little experience of mine

After an English class In 1997 I met 3 German girls in Gambir Station (Jakarta-Indonesia) Their names are Issabelle Schreiber, Marie Christine and ... I forgot another one.. Their destination was The Tourism places in West Java and then continued to Sumatera Island. It was the good time for me because when I wanted to practice English, they gave the good response to me. I was happy then.

From Gambir Station we went to Tanahabang Station

Dear Captain,

My sixth sense is telling me that something about me is concealed by mom or the doctor. Each time when I asked mom what was wrong with me, she would tell me nothing. So did my doctor. I wonder if I am really fine, why do I have to keep staying here and I don't know when I can go back to normal life.

Ok, let's forget that unknown "secret". I've noticed my handsome doctor likes sneaking out to the rooftop every afternoon at 5 o'clock. I am so curious why he goes to the rooftop. Is ther

Today I read an interesting news, it was all about the woman who lost her beloved friend in a day, then she felt full of grief and struggled to live out her days. She thought of everything, of death which brought clarity to her life, helped her know more about herself and what mattered most to her life. Then she wondered if other persons thought the same like her, went through the same truggle to maintain perspective amid daily grind. With helps from her friends, she turned an abandoned house ne

“But she would never lie to me,” said Dee when Paul told her something about her friend, Zee. Paul couldn't say anything about that. It seemed Dee was enjoyed the friendship that she had with Zee very much. Actually it was a strange friendship they had, at least in from Paul's eyes. Zee was younger and treated Dee liked her own mom. Well, actually she acted like a spoiled little daughter.

“She always tells me things and she would never keep any secret from me,” Dee said. Later, she told Paul abou

Dear Captain,

I've finished all the books I've brought with me. Now I feel empty and I don't know what to do. I seldom kill time because my time is always tight. I spend it fully in my work and my study.

But after staying at this white world for a long while, I am getting bored. I miss my friends, I miss the gerocomium, and I miss the busy days. I feel uneasy. Usually I take care of others, yet now I am taken care by others. I hope such days finish soon.

To forget something in life is normal, isn't

I was thinking all the time, asking myself where is the best guy I hope to help me. However, I never find him. When I face something strange for me, I was not confident to handle it alone. I always think that I was under qualified. I had to find another guy who is better than me. "I am not them, so that I am not great," I thought.

I lived my life that way. However, the fact I never found that guy. However, I always study. "Life is learning", I learn everything. I think I am the one with the great

the freedom is a situation where a person is not colonized, morally and physically. Mostly people who has desire are not bridled with a rule which will make them unfair. With freedom the people can do everything they can do. However we cannot make loss everyone. Freedom is very important and necessary. Although people have freedom, but they should not misuse it. freedom is very peaceful that make a person  feel comfortable with it. One of examples of freedom is expressing an argument in front of

I've looked out a lot of windows and watched thousands of people. I've loved...and lost in love. I've lived happiness and experienced sadness. I've dealt with deep pain and shared deep thoughts. I lost my best friend and had best friends who lost me. I lived in a negative world with suicide on the tip of my tongue, but my mind decided to focus on the positive and let God make that decision for me. I have a personal relationship with my God , because no one knows me like he does and no one cares
