Hello, World! 😀
In this chance, I post my journey in my first semester in ELS Program Hasanuddin University.
In 2014, ELS Program has about 53 new students. We are divided into two classes. The students who have odd student’s numbers are in Class A, and even student’s numbers are in Class B. So, Class A has 27 students and Class B has 26 students.
As we know, ELS Program has three concentrations. They are Education, Literature and Linguistics Concentration. I choose Education Concentration. For this semester (1st semester), we have three basic courses (English Phonetics and Phonology, Morphosyntax and Transformational Generative Grammar, Semantics and Pragmatics) and two courses about our concentrations.
Fortunately, I belong to Class A. The class which always makes me happy, comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, guys, for your friendship. Nyamanna’. Hehehe.
In Class A, there are 9 students in Education Concentration, 9 students in Linguistics Concentration and 8 students in Literature Concentration. We have same schedule in the three basic courses and different schedule for courses that related to our concentration. And do you know? I always feel lively with them.
Because we are at the end of this semester and we will not be in same class anymore for next semester, on Desember 21, 2014 (Sunday), we had a plan to go to Salmah’s house in Samata, Gowa. We had a family picnic and studied together because we would have a final test for TG Grammar by Prof. Manda.
In Salmah’s house, we helped Salmah’s mother to make Sup Ubi in the kitchen. When everything has been done, we ate together. What a nice togetherness. After eating, we took a rest for a moment and continued our next plan. That’s STUDYING TGG. We gathered to discuss about problems we had that related to TGG and Kak Mul as the teacher of TGG. *hihihihi… Sometimes it was serious, sometimes it was funny because of the cakes. 😀
After studying TGG, we were invited Salmah to take mangoes in her mango orchards. Wow, we got many mangoes.
Because the day would be dark, we asked for permission to go home to Salmah’s parents and Salmah. The service was very nice. We were happy there. Thank you, Salmah. :*
The next day, 22 December 2014, Monday. We had the final test of TG Grammar from Prof. Manda. On 09.00 p.m. the test was done and Prof. Manda was very on time. He has been in the room early. He is one of my favorite lecturers. I always observe him when he finishes his teaching, he always cleans all of his writing on whiteboard. I remembered what Pak Supardi said to me that after finishing your teaching, you should clean the writing on whiteboard. It gives a message that we must give a good impression for next class that want to use a room after we used.
Thank you, Prof. Manda for giving us the knowledge and taking photo with us.
Also, thanks to our great lecturers in this semester, Prof. Hamzah, Prof. Hakim, Prof. Noer Jihad, Mam Sukma, Mam Nasmilah, Mam Ria and Mam Etty for the great teaching and knowledge for us.
Thank you for my friends in ELS Program to give this experience, especially Class A.
I will miss our craziness, dumba-dumba ta if the lecturers want to point us to answer some questions, our presentations, and our discussions in class and LINE. Also, Class B. Thank you, guys. Keep this relationship and friendship, please.
Thank you, Ussi for these word and photos.
There was an event on June 15, 2014 (Sunday) at La Ode Malim Auditorium Dayanu Ikhsanuddin University, namely MLC TOEFL Prediction Test dan Seminar Pendidikan Luar Negeri.The event was educative and very interesting. I think that was the first time for such the event held in Baubau. It was followed by students in university, high school, and some teachers.
It was held by Makida Learning Center. It is one of courses in Baubau, located at Jalan Erlangga Ruko Pos 3 Baubau. You can also contact it via Facebook or Twitter.
Sunday morning, I arrived at campus before the event held and met my friends. Did not forget to take some pictures with them. 😀
Before I entered the room, I had to have re-registration and got Paper List Beasiswa Luar Negeri and a booklet of Makida Learning Center.
For the first session, all participants had a TOEFL Test, it was about
140 questions in 110 minutes. The questions were WOW WOW WOW.. And I can’t predict how my score will be. 😀 Afterwards, we were explained all about TOEFL, how to answer the questions, tips and trick by Mr. Boy, one of tutor in Master TOEFL Makassar. He had nice explanation. 🙂
Then, we had lunch. Eating time!!! 😀 Ahaideee…
After that, the seminar was started.
There were three people as resource person. They were La Ode Aroamonkdo, S.IP, M.A. (Who got his postgraduate degree in Germany), Muhammad Arham (One of students in English Literature Hasanuddin University who got youth exchange from JENNESYS), and Mr. Calleb Coppenger (the author of The Mysteries of the Islands of Buton According to the Old men and Me).
The conclusions that I could get from their explanation and moderator are:
The closing session was giving of souvenirs to the resource persons and the taking of photos together.
The last beautiful photo was Kk Cenk and I. 😀 Ahaideee….

It happened on June 2nd, 2014. Actually, going to the pine forest in Samparona is one of desires of my friends, Mey. But, it doesn’t always come true. Yah, because our time isn’t always enough and the weather isn’t always so good. So, on June 2nd, 2014, she got it. 🙂
We phoned Athul, Daus, and Iyan in the afternoon. They agreed to go there. But, Iyhan didn’t answer our phone. So, we went to Iyhan’s house to tell what we planned . Because we believed that he was sleeping. 😀 Fortunately, he wanted, even though it was a sudden thing. 😀 All of us (Iyhan, Alam, Athul, Daus, Mey, and I) had gathered and we were ready to go there…
FYI, the pine forest is located in Samparona, in Kaesabu Vilage, Sorawolio district, Baubau. Before we are in there, we will pass a wide area that used as a venue for National Women Campsite (Perkempinas) I.
And then, taraaaa… We arrived there…. 😀
Many people go to the pine forest to take pictures, whether for pre-wedding or for having fun. Yeah, it’s nice location. 🙂 Maybe, if you live in Baubau, you’ll feel bored to look at our pictures because it’s in the pine forest. Again, again, and again. 😀 But, it’s OK, because we enjoy it. There were happiness, joking, laughter and togetherness from us. And they’re priceless. 🙂
How about you, Mey? 🙂
Is it enough for making your dream comes true? Or are there other places you want to visit? Tell us, before you go to Java. 😀 Ahaideee…
Before April leaves me, I have a priceless story. 🙂 This is about a special moment in my birthday celebration, altough it is too late for telling it. Thanks for my best family and my friends. :* Hug you…
A day before April 14th, 2014, Tafry and Hikma brought me a cake of birthday without I knew. Wowww!!! Hey, both of youuuu…!!! Why didn’t you tell me? –” Hehehe. But, thanks for the cake, thanks for remembering me, and thanks for your love to me… That was more than enough for celebrating my day with you all. :’)
On April 14th, 2014, I thought that the day was a normal day. I didn’t think I would have a surprised moment because I saw the situation, people around me were busy for work. Also, I didn’t think about the birthday so much because I still focused on my work and my tests.
I just spent my day with having lunch alone in RM. Aroma Sedap, near the harbour, by ordering Hot Plate Mie and Hot Orange Juice. Hehehe… So delicious… Yummy. Alhamdulillah. It’s like celebrating my day by my self. So lonely. Hehe… But, that’s OK. 😉 I enjoyed it.
And do you know? These people were successful to get me wet and smell. -,-” They put a rotten egg and flush my body with smell water. Uuugghh, I vomited to smell the stench. But, I couldn’t be angry with you all. Was that called for beloved person you love? Oh my gosh!
When I turned toward, I looked there was one of you brought the tart. Hahahaha. Thank you, dear. 🙂 Made a wish than blew the candles. My wishes were bla bla bla. Hahaha. The important thing was the happiness for our life. 🙂 Semoga berkah. Aamiin.
When I wanted to clean my body, there was no water in tap outside. So, I came into bathroom and some of my friends went to go to futsal for an hour. *maybe* But they promised to come back again in my house to eat the tart together. 🙂
Wow wow wow… I didn’t think that it would be like this. I didn’t feel that they want to make a surprised moment to me. Hehehe. Thank you, my beloved friends. :’) I’s speechless for all plans you’ve made. :p 😀 *hug you one by one…
*For all friends and family who said ‘happy birthday’ to me via socmed and text message, I say, ‘thank a lot for that. 🙂 You still remember me. :’)’.
On February 1st, that’s Saturday night. We gathered together. Again. 🙂 What a nice night!
Spending time in KFC Baubau to talk about what happen with us recently and what we will do for the next. There are many plans, dreams, and laughter there. 🙂
Can you see these pictures below? We’re a couple. 😀
A couple of friends. But there are four friends, they are bla bla bla. Hahahaha… 😀
After graduation in English Education. Actually, there are many jobs that can be offered to us. Certain people have seen us when we’re still a student. They know our ability. So, don’t be surprised if they call you for doing a good job, like teaching. 🙂 For still being a student, you should increase your ability more, make your self having a good behavior, and Allah will open His good way for you to get the great future.
Okay. Talking about teaching, besides teaching in campus, I’m also as a teacher in one of courses, namely Roebel El-Farooq at Jalan Kelapa, near the police office. I was contacted by Miss Winda (My senior in campus, sstt, she is great in English 🙂). And seemingly, the head of that course is my senior in Elementary School in SDN 2 Nganganaumala, her name is Kaka Anggun. How surprised I am. I’ve known her. She is well-known because she is smart. 🙂
I was accepted as an English teacher on November 11th, 2013. I started to teach the students in Teens Corner Class C. I have about 13 students now. First, I felt little stiff because I didn’t know what I could teach them well or not.
But, day by day, I start to enjoy this activity. I like the students. Their laugh, smiles, and behaviors make me more understand how we should teach them as a teenager. They need more love. 🙂
In teaching, we need more patience to face them. We must understand their willing to play all the time, but we must be smart to manage the class, in order to they can learn English happily. 🙂
I’m always happy for giving them a smile. But, I give information to my students, you must have self confidence. You believe that you also can do the best such other students. You have a great potency. So, you must study hard. It will be easy when you try to study seriously. Okay?
🙂 Thanks my great students. I promise, Insya Allah I’ll give the best to teach you in English.
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Terima kasih, Allah, untuk segala kemudahan dan kelancaran aktivitas yang Engkau berikan, hingga akhirnya acara Wisuda Sarjana ke-28 dan Pascasarjana ke-8 Universitas Dayanu Ikhsanuddin, yang bertempat di Baruga La Ode Malim, 28 Oktober 2013, dapat terlaksana juga. Dengan jumlah wisudawan sebanyak 808 orang. 🙂 Acara dilaksanakan dari pukul 08.00 WITA hingga 14.20 WITA. Walaupun tadi ada sedikit ketidakstabilan listrik, tapi akhirnya acara bisa berjalan dengan baik. Trima kasih, Allah.
Setelah melaksanakan Yudisium tanggal 21 September 2013 kemarin (Khusus FKIP Prodi Pend. B.Inggris Gelombang I), saya dan teman-teman di semua fakultas dapat merayakan Wisuda hari ini, 28 Oktober 2013. Bertepatan dengan Hari Sumpah Pemuda. Subhanallah. Semangat, kawan. Mari kita menjadi generasi muda yang berkualitas bagi bangsa.
Wisuda ini pun dihadiri oleh Koordinator Kopertis Wilayah IX, Ibu Prof. Dr. Ir. Hj. Andi Niartiningsih, M.P,. Dalam menyampaikan sambutannya, ada beberapa kalimat yang saya tangkap ketika Beliau mengkhususkan kata-kata tersebut untuk para wisudawan. Beliau mengatakan bahwa:
– Semua yang kita capai membutuhkan kerja keras, fokus dan prima.
– Harus dapat membangun softskill, kemampuan berkomunikasi secara interpersonal dan intrapersonal dengan baik.
– Harus ada prioritas dalam hidup.
– Tidak akan ada artinya ketika memiliki IP tinggi namun tidak memiliki nilai tinggi dalam softskill. Karena yang terpenting dalam hidup ini adalah akhlak.
– Harus dapat mengubah mindset bahwa ketika lulus menjadi seorang sarjana, pekerjaan yang ideal itu yang berorientasi PNS. *bukan maksud untuk menyampingkan PNS itu sendiri* Namun, melihat kondisi yang ada, apa salahnya memiliki pekerjaan yang memiliki unsur enterpreneurshipnya.
– Harus bisa bersaing di masa mendatang karena kita akan bersaing dengan bangsa lain. Kata Beliau, negara-negara tetangga, seperti Thailand dan Laos, telah melaksanakan program kursus Bahasa Indonesia bagi para tenaga kerja. Do you know what the meaning is? Mereka mau datang ke Indonesia karena melihat potensi sumber daya Indonesia yang bagus. Semoga saja kita tidak dijajah di dalam negeri sendiri. Olehnya itu, mari kawan-kawan, tingkatkan kualitas kemampuan diri untuk tetap mempertahankan Indonesia dengan meningkatkan SDM dan mengelola SDA kita dengan penuh rasa tanggung jawab.
Juga sambutan yang dibawakan oleh Rektor Universitas Dayanu Ikhsanuddin, Bapak Laode Muhammad Arsal, S.Sos., M.Si. Dalam sambutannya, Beliau mengatakan bahwa dalam melakukan segala sesuatu yang tujuannya untuk kebaikan diri, jika ikhlas dan sungguh-sungguh maka hasilnya pun akan baik. Kejujuran itu utama. Mengabdi dengan cara yang baik, bukan dengan cara yang salah. Demikian pula sambutan yang dibawakan oleh yang mewakili Gubernur Sulawesi Tenggara, Sekretaris Daerah Prov. Sultra. Wisuda. Menjadi seorang sarjana. Merupakan awal meniti karir di masa depan. 🙂 Semoga kita semua bisa mempertanggungjawabkan dasar keilmuan yang kita miliki di kehidupan masyarakat. Aamiin.
Dalam pelaksanaan acaranya, saya juga menghaturkan rasa bangga terhadap UPS (Unidayan Paduan Suara). Suara kalian hebat-hebat. 🙂 Terima kasih telah menjadi pelengkap acara wisuda kami, sehingga berjalan dengan sangat berwarna ketika kalian bernyanyi. 🙂 I like it. Sukses terus untuk UPS.
Dalam wisuda sarjana kali ini, saya mendapat nomor urut 282. Menurut saya, nomor ini adalah sejarah. Jika saya mereka-reka, 282. Angka 28 merupakan angka yang merujuk pada Wisuda Sarjana yang ke-28. Dan angka 2, merujuk pada …. Ah, sudahlah. Tidak usah dijelaskan. Hehehe.
Yang intinya, di dalam kesempatan ini saya mengucapkan terima kasih sebanyak-banyaknya kepada pihak-pihak yang turut berperan penting dalam perkembangan saya hingga menjadi seorang wisudawan. Terima kasih untuk kepercayaan, pembelajaran, nasehat, teguran, dan senyuman ketulusannya. :’)
Semoga kami, para wisudawan, dapat membawa nama baik, tetap setia dan berbakti kepada almamater, Universitas Dayanu Ikhsanuddin, selayaknya janji alumni yang kami telah ucapkan tadi siang.
Selamat bagi para wisudawan! Sukses selalu. Semoga Allah selalu memberikan kebaikan jalan untuk masa depan kita. Aamiin.
