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.
“Welcome to the Red Campus, Welcome to the Jungle! Welcome for Struggling, Ning!”
Wow Wow Wow…!!! >.< Fighting, Fighting!!!
How I can start to say this. Emmm.
Alhamdulillah, I get the chance from Allah and my parents to continue my study in English Study Language Study Program, Hasanuddin University, Makassar. I started to register my self on March 20th, 2014, then had the test on April 22nd – 23rd, 2014. Thanks to Allah, the online announcement stated that I passed the test on June 5th, 2014. 🙂 So, I arrived in Makassar on August 20th because the inaugural lecture for students of postgraduate was held on August 28th, 2014.
One of quotes from the Rector Assistant I of Unhas, “Let’s build the quality, in order to survive.”
Having a chance to continue my study is the gold chance that I have. Although there are many obstacles towards me, I always believe that there will be a way from Allah. My parents as my main supporters, they have sacrificed everything they have, just for their daughters. Thanks for allowing me to continue my study. I will have effort to make it beautiful for you. :’) Aamiin.
I always remember what my father said, “That’s important, you study well there.” Thanks, Papaa… Huhuhu… >.< You made me affected. I’m going to have effort to get the scholarship. Hope, Allah will give it to me. Or anybody can give me the scholarship. Who wants? Who wants? Who? Hehehehe. Ya, for BPP-DN (Calon Dosen) Scholarship from Dikti, I am not lucky for this year, 2014. It doesn’t matter, Allah gives His mercy to me in other chances. Believe that!
Here, in different place. I get new experiences and surroundings and leave my family, sweet room, and English Education Study Program room in Unidayan. I will miss them. But, I must be able to adapt with current situation. Some things I must know, there will be some problems I get in a new place such as management of time, management of money, and feeling of homesick. So, I must be smart to manage those all.
At least, now, with my status as one of students of Hasanuddin University, I want to concentrate to study well, deepen my knowledge, develop my ability, I don’t have enough capability yet for this actually, and believe that there is a good hope for my better future.
Thanks for people who have been giving supports to me.
I’ll do my best.
Keep fighting, Ning!
Thanks, Allah, for these all. :’)
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…
My latest post is about my birthday. It’s my new age, my new life, and my new happiness. 🙂 Thanks Allah.
There have been many stories that I don’t write here, unfortunately :(. And this evening, I wanna tell something, not for you MUST READ, but it’s about my feeling tonight and I MUST write here. Maybe it is like the romantic words, but I am not a romantic person actually. #eeeaa. 😀 I just write what I think and feel. Because of someone who has stolen my attention. 😉 <3
And I miss you like crazy tonight.
How I can tell you that you’re priceless, while you always make me speechless. :’)
Thanks for all your love that you give to me.
Your care, your understanding, your kindness of heart, your smile, and your anger.
You choose me as one of important people for your life.
And you have been ready to accept all about my weakness.
Forgive me, I always make you angry.
I regard that I’m not a good woman for you yet. Sorry.
I’m always being silent and you’re always being chatty.
But, I always expect you can guide me well.
How I must to be, when I’m wrong because I will always keep doing the best for being what I should be, what I should do.
Your presence makes me speechless.
I only smile and give thank to Allah for what happened to us.
I feel it’s unpredictable situation because it’s really different before. Strongly differ.
I admit that you’re successful in giving the different nice situation to me and it’s better than yesterday. 🙂
Thanks, dear.
In this loneliness, I still remember you. How are you now?
I hope you’ll get better soon. :’) <3 ({})
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. :’)’.
Heiaa… Blog oh Blog. Writing oh Writing. Do you know? The real job makes me to forget me to write something here. 🙁 Sorry, my Little Syafitri. Yaps, for this post, I want to talk about Workaholic.
According to Wikipedia, A workaholic is a person who is addicted to work. Every time is just for working. No time for wasting time for having socialization with other people. Just focus on his work. For example, this Saturday night, it’s weekend. The fact, that person just enjoys his work without caring surroundings. I read an article on internet from here, the signs of being Workaholic. I mean, the main habit of Workaholic. 😀 But, I just take some points that I understand. Hehe…
1. Only thinking for working.
Workaholic only think to accomplish his work. He tends not to have socialization with others. If holiday comes, he will not forget to bring some works to be done later. What a workaholic man!!! 😀
2. He doesn’t believe to delegate his work in other people.
Workaholic doesn’t feel comfortable to delegate his work to other people without monitoring directly in him. Even, he spends time to monitor their works that it should be delegated and entrusted with other people.
3. Forgetting other aspects in his life.
The essential priority for a workaholic is working. A workaholic can forget the important agenda in his life because he works too hard.
I think, a workaholic is always active and responsible with his working. All days he uses to work and work. I don’t need to tell other people as an example because I feel I’m a workaholic also. Maybe. 🙂 I can’t feel comfortable if my works doesn’t finish yet and yeah, I’m crazy to work. I can’t think that this is wrong or right, but I enjoy with this. All I do is for my pleasure. I’m happy with the solitude.
Let me do what I want to do.
Maybe, today onwards, I’m not a perfect for you.
Sorry.
