Hai blog. Today is Thursday. Yes, Thursday is my teaching day at Pingu's. Two classes from 15:30 to 17:30 but also have to come to campus if I want to check revisions of my thesis right, with Mr.Ali. His schedule for me is every lunch time, about 12:00 to 14:00. But today I didn't meet him, but I met Mr.Bagyo, already made an appointment. Thank's to my brother in law who saved that appointment. I woke up at 8:30 dammit. I didn't hear the alarm. He drove me to campus. So he saw the production design which was about 95 pages (with laptop, not printed). He was very nice to me. He worried about my graduation if it could be this semester or next. Oh pleassse.... well of course it's because of my own team, not him. He wishes I keep my enthusiasm. Oh, kind words. I saw no one at campus. I drank alone at Payung... Iced Dawet. And bought Dunhill Light Menthol. Total amount: Rp22.000. If the cigarette was Rp13.000.. so the dawet is... (oh man, I am too lazy to count) Rp9.000! Wow I didn't use calculator! Just by seeing the numbers. Man I'm a genius! And Rp9.000 Dawet is way too expensive. It wasn't a special dawet. The taste is also average. Jakarta-average, not East Java-average. When I paid, I said "Matur suwun" (Thank you, in Javanese) and he answered, "Sami-sami Mas" (You're welcomed, Mister!) WTF. Okay when I cut my hair so short I accepted events when some people call me 'Mas' or 'Bang' but now... WHAT THE. Can't you see I'm a Kendedes, mas? Not Ken Arok apalagi Mpu Gandring.
And Tuesday is also my teaching day. Also my revision schedule at campus. So every Tuesday and Thursday I rush from here to there to here again, so fast like a superman or maybe, more exactly, Tazmanian Devil. Arrive back at Bintaro to teach, of course I am in exhausted condition. I mark this as kondisi siaga satu ( first warning condition). Exhausted and bad mood = SIAGA DUA, Exhausted and not feeling well = SIAGA TIGA. What's with this warnings? Because, teaching toddlers, you have to be 100% in a good mood. Mood takes biggest part of your succes, preparation follows. You already prepare your lesson plan very well, but you're in a bad mood, uh oh, little kids are very sensitive and they can notice that. You better re-prepare two hours before you step into the class. This re-preparation is more about your look and mood. The kids are unpredictable. The last time you teach they were happy and followed you very well, next time they could act like you're not there.
