Long time no see you, Blog. 🙂
Writing here is like meeting my old friend that has been long time not to see. I miss you a lot. Sorry for leaving you. :'(
I want to say something. We must be strong although we must pretend to be strong. 🙂 Yeah, we believe that we can do it well. Insya Allah. Keep fighting. Life will keep going on. No matter how we are, no matter what we are.
I don’t know how long I will live in this world and I feel I don’t prepare well yet for what I will bring to be responsible to Allah.
I am not a perfect woman totally. Sometimes I can’t be what people want because I have lack.
But, I don’t know how long people will keep staying with me when I make them disappointed again, again, and again.
I have made effort to be better, but perhaps what I have done it is not still enough for being better. I admit, I am wrong. I am only able to say “Sorry” for everything I do in a wrong way. I am still bad.

On January 26, 2016, my cousin, Fitri, and I went to walk around again after doing something that must be done for the sake of the family interest. 😀 Our destination was Panakkukang Mall (MP) and Lopi Cafe. Firstly, we visited MP for walking around and seeing female stuffs, like shoes, clothes, dress, etc. And you know what I felt, I just tried to control my self. 😀 Although it was interesting, but it was not still my main attention.
Negeri Van Oranje
We tried to go to Cinema 21 Panakkukang to see what movies that still in “NOW PLAYING”. I looked there was still “Negeri Van Oranje.” Thanks God, it was still playing. So, I invited Fitri to watch that film. I liked the actors, such as Chicco Jerikho, Arifin Putra and Abimana Arisatya. But, Ge Pamungkas, he is not a cool guy because I already knew him as a comedian. 😀 If I am asked to comment this film, I will say that this film makes me ‘BAPER’ and gloomy. Hmmm… A man that always hides from Lintang, finally he could get married with her. >.< I could say that the film was romantic and entertaining. 🙂
Next plan was we went to Lopi Cafe, Cafe and Eatery. It is near MP. It is located in Jl. Boulevard No. 26 AB. Most of materials such as tables, chairs, and ornaments were made by wood. I think the cafe mixes between modern and traditional culture. It could be seen from one of wall sides, the wall was painted a couple who wore traditional clothes of Makassar and another side it was fulfilled by modern ornaments, like unique mirrors. It was full of music and AC. So, I felt comfortable to be in the cafe. I enjoyed it. 🙂
Oh ya, there were many kinds of foods and drinks. But we only ordered French Fries, Hot Cappucino, and Milkshake Vanilla. Mmm, they had nice taste.
Basically, I rarely hung out with friends in places like this because my assignments of study spent my time a lot. Therefore, I did not know well which interesting places to visit in Makassar. Fitri was a person who recommended me for trying to go to Lopi Cafe and her recommendation was a good place.
Overall, what we did yesterday, it made me more aware that it inspired me to design something that will be done someday. Aameen. 🙂
Pungopang is one of places to enjoy Korean desserts and unique ice creams. It is a Korean Cafe. It was my first time to go there because my cousin, Fitri, invited me to go there on January 22, 2016. Actually, Pungopang are also in Jakarta. Here, Pungopang is located in Jalan Pengayoman No. 11D, Makassar. It has e-mail address, pungopangmks@gmail.com and IG: pungopangMKS.
Here we are…Parfait Dark Choco
The first impression when I entered the cafe, it was so cozy. 🙂 We were welcomed by its waitresses and they said “Annyeong Haseyo”. I felt it was funny. Yah, after we chose where we wanted to sit that had an electric plug, a waitress came to us to give a menu. It has many choices of unique ice cream and desserts, but I just chose one of ice creams, it was a Parfait Dark Choco (IDR 30K) and Fitri, CI Green Tea (IDR 45K).
CI Green Tea
FYI, there were many people to come there and I looked they got enjoyment from its services by enjoying their orders. I am so sorry for this time because I do not have a complete information about the menu, but if you want to search more, you can visit its IG. 😉 And you can try to taste them there.
“A PUNGOPANG can satisfy your day”
That’s one of slogans on the wall in Pungopang.
And it is TRUE.
Alhamdulillah. 🙂
New Year is coming. It means that we leave 2015 for every moment we had. Expect that everything will become better in 2016.
Each year has its own special moment. 2015 also has it. In my opinion, 2015 is one of great years that I face. It is such a precious life lesson. I feel that I can know more what the choice is and what the meaning of family is, and what the importance of true friends is. I feel better now. I feel I am being my own self. I have gotten myself because I can express what I want to do in my own way. This is I call as the maturity process.
Mom and her girls
For 2015, thank you for giving me a great life lesson and many moments whether it is good or bad. I cannot blame anybody for my unlucky chances I got because I believe that every attitude we do will affect our life later. Forgive me, please, for everyone that I hurt. I’m so sorry. I did not have any purposes for being a person that makes you uncomfortable whether it is intentionally or accidentally.
Welcome, 2016. I hope this year will give us more health and happiness, especially for my study. Thanks, Allah.
I hope Allah will listen and make true to my pray. Aamiin.
ICE-ed 2015, International Conference on English and Its Educational Dynamics, is 1st international conference held by English Department Faculty of Letters, Hasanuddin University. It was on 26 – 27 September 2015 at Prof. A. Amiruddin Auditorium, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia.
The topic was about ELT Practices in Asia: Challenges and Opportunities. This gives us a chance to enrich our knowledge, visions, and researches related to English teaching and learning today. The topic was good enough to get attention from people who want to join. It was proved by many members, whether they were as participants or presenters, came not only from Makassar, but also Banjarmasin, Pekanbaru, Malaysia, Yogyakarta, Ambon, Mataram, Kupang, Kendari, Kediri, Gorontalo, Palopo, Bandung, Semarang, Japan, etc.
It was also supported by the presence of the keynote and plenary speakers, namely:
The Speakers and The Committees
Dr. Jonathan Newton as the keynote speaker (He is a senior lecturer in school of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, Victoria University of Wellington)
Dr. Hywel Coleman as the plenary speaker (He is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of Education, University of Leeds, UK)
Dr. Thi Thuy Minh Nguyen as the plenary speaker (She is an assistant professor at the National Institute of Education, Singapore) *She is still young to be a Doctor. What a wonderful woman! >.<. By the way, it is her first time to be a plenary speaker in an international conference.
Dr. Willy A Renandya as the plenary speaker (He is a senior lecturer at the English Language and Literature Departments, National Institute of Education, Singapore)
Leah Karels as the featured speaker (She is the English Language Fellow for Hasanuddin University in Makassar)
*Additional info. 😀 Left to right: Kak Farisatma (an ELS Student of Unhas), Ibu Dra. Nasmilah Imran, M.Hum, Ph.D(The Conference Chair), Nining Syafitri (an ELS Student of Unhas), Ibu Dr. Hj. Sukmawaty, M.Hum (one of committees).
The speakers were very humble and nice. They responded some questions from participants that concerned to the certain topic of English education. Also, they had good abilities in presenting their materials. I think they study whenever wherever. They look sooooo coolll. Hehehe… I mean, the educated people like them are needed to be inspiring educators and researchers, how we have passion to learn, teach learners, and research about English education and its components so we can increase our quality to be a professional educator and give theoritical and practical contribution to English education world.
Unfortunately, in this conference, I was only one of participants, not a presenter. Hehehe. Actually, I want to be a presenter but I do not have enough preparation. Hopefully, in the next chance, I will be a presenter.
I like the situation of conference, academic situation. 🙂 There were many friends of me that joined in this conference so I did not feel lonely. They were Hikma, Kak Monic, Kak Yandri, Sani, Ucha, Kak Ayz, Destri, Sofyan, Kak Fai and Eman. Thank you for the laughter and the togetherness, guys.
Before I end my writing, I want to say a special thank for my lecturer, Bapak La Ode Supardi, S.Pd., M.Pd. for his kindness me related to the conference. I hope this can be a precious experience for improving my competence and performance in English education. Thanks, Pak. 🙂
Last but not least, my impression for the conference is overall is good, although there are some parts that must be improved. It is maybe caused by this is the first conference but I appreciate the work of the committees, the international conference is one of your prestige work, at least you have presented to us and proved that you did into reality, not just a dream . Congratulation. 🙂
Hello, World.
It’s like losing a motivation to welcome a great life. 🙂
I feel only walk, walk, walk, and walk. No exactly direction to achieve.
I can’t be only silent, I must say, at least I write on my personal blog. This blog is my friend to tell what I have and this is my right.
Actually, I must be thankful to Allah because He still gives me a life.
I’m alive. I’m here. I breathe. I see. But, I can’t walk perfectly. There is something wrong with me.
Maybe being alone is the best way to grab my motivation (again).
This is too complicated for me. If I could go from here, I would do. Really really go far away…
Negeri Van Oranje
