Urus Pindah Domisili ke Denpasar - Bali

Balinese is a lot of thing, but one thing for sure that they work efficiently when it is related to the documents.  Gw selalu kasih tepuk tangan meriah kalau urus-urus dokumen di Bali tuh serba cepet banget. Di Denpasar ya terutama karena gw tinggal di sini. Nggak tau lagi kalau di daerah lain. Ini testimoni gw yang tiap tahun harus urus dokumen visa suami, tiap tahun harus ke Dukcapil, Polres, wira-wiri di desa urus printilan.  Akhirnya tahun ini gw putuskan untuk pindah domisili ke Bali. Yeay.   Bukan tanpa alasan, tapi karena untuk menjamin KITAP, gw harus domisili Bali. Suami gw udah terdaftar di Imigrasi Bali. Jadi daripada gw harus pindahin dia ke domisili asal gw, yang mana gw udah nggak tinggal di sana hampir 20 tahun, ya lebih baik gw yang pindah.  Ternyata, pindah KTP tuh gampang banget ya. Gw kira gw harus pulang dulu ke domisili untuk cabut berkas. Setelah tanya langsung ke domisili asal gw (Pake WA dan jawabnya nunggu lama banget), mereka bilang untuk ur...

Dealing With Mental Retardation Student (2)

 

It's the third week of my class with this special student. Basically the third meeting with him. My first impression is written here if you haven't read it yet. I am trying to keep update about teaching him here because he is so special for me. Definitely, he is.

So when we had our second meeting, I hoped that he got something surprising for me. And he had one. At the first meeting, he couldn't even differentiate between negative and positive integers, that positive integers always bigger than the negative ones. I had to tell him like 10 times (it's not exaggerating) But at the second meeting, he could! Can you imagine how happy I am?

But he can't understand the comparison between negative integers like negative 3 is bigger than negative 5 because he still thinks that 3 is smaller than 5 in any conditions including negative integers. That is okay, he showed me the progress of being able to say that negative integers are always smaller than positive ones.

I can see that he work so hard for that. So at that moment, I realize that I have to say things that he can and have to memorize because I can't ask him to analyze things logically. It's hard. So I keep trying to say so many things to make him memorize that, with a hope that it will work.

On the other hand, he couldn't do any addition and reduction using negative integers too much. He could, but only if the number is small. I struggled to say and explain that. But he finally get used to count it with a help of a tool.

Today, the third meeting, I asked him what did he learnt yesterday. I always do that, even though many times he said he learnt natural science (natural science is the class a day before maths) but I always do that. I want to know what he thinks about other subjects and I asked what he learnt in languages classes as well. I can see his enthusiasm in those and asked which part that enthusiast him so much. What surprised me today that he said he studied maths last night. WOW. I was happy to hear that. And when I asked him to answer all of the questions about previous things, he did it very well and all answers are correct. He was able to do the reduction and addition using negative integers with no mistakes. I said "Wow, you did a very good job today. Your answers are all correct!" then he said "YESSSSS!!!". His YESS somehow made me flattered that show me how happy he was when I gave him a compliment of his hard work. And hey he can finally say that negative 3 is bigger than negative 5. It's a big progress!

 

It may sound usual and nothing. Yes, it is, for students with IQ above 90. But he is not. That is why it is special and struggle in telling him things.

He likes to tell the story and I  like to ask him everything like what colour he likes, what movie he likes, how many friends he has, what kind of sports he likes to play, and it is cool to know that he likes to see old buildings but without any ghost 😂. It was fascinating when he asked me "Is Niagara hotel haunted?" 😂 It is recommended to give a break in the middle of class, and my break usually showing him about old buildings. Trust me I have a lot (well some of them are H's pictures of course lol). Beside, I can tell him the little history of that. I showed him Hotel Majapahit and Ayasofya today.

So what I learnt about how to teach a student like him, do tell them about things that they could memorize because they work better at memorizing things. It always a struggle when you usually don't need to tell them to do something but trust me, when they could memorize things, your jobs will be easier later. How much you could tell them to do things? As much as you need to tell them to write down the answer in their books.

Ini beneran, ketika dia mengerjakan sesuatu dan diajak bicara, dia akan stop melakukan sesuatu dan mendengarkan. Tapi ketika kita lupa beri tahu kalau dia harus mengerjakan lagi tugas yang aku beri tadi, ya dia nggak akan mengerjakan lagi. So you really have to tell them what to do consecutively.

Another surprise he asked today is "What is haram?" Boy this is a mathematics class, not agama class 😂 But I did give him answers 😎

Gojek ke bandara juanda

While waiting, jadi mending berbagi sedikit soal gojek. Karena saya adalah pengguna setia gojek, saya pengen cobain ke bandara pake gojek. Awalnya saya kira tidak bisa *itu emang sayanya aja sih yang menduga nggak bisa*, trus tanya temen katanya bisa karena dia sering ke bandara pakai motornya. Nah berarti gojek bisa dong?? Sebelum-sebelumnya kalo naek gojek selalu bayar cash, tapi kali ini pengen cobain top up go pay. Minimum top up 10ribu. Jadi saya cobain deh 30ribu dulu. Eh ternyata lagi ada promo 50% off kalo pake go pay. Haiyaaaaa kenapa ga dari dulu aja ngisi go pay hahaha. Dari kantor ke bandara juanda sekitar 8km. Kantor saya sih daerah rungkut industri. Penasarannn banget ini abang mau lewat mana ya. Tertera di layar 22ribu, tapi karena pakai go pay diskon 50% jadinya tinggal 11ribu. Bayangin tuhh... pake bis damri aja 30ribu hahaha. 11ribu udah nyampe bandara. Biasanya 15ribu ke royal plaza dari kantor haha. Lagi untung. Bagus deh. Nah sepanjang perjalanan, saya mikir ter...

Ujian hari senin

Kejadian ini terjadi tepat senin minggu lalu. Baru kali itu aku merasa 'WOW.. ini senin yeay'. Karena biasanya 'haduhh udah senen lagi'. Kebayang kan kalo seneng begitu dihari senen menyambut pagi dan hari itu rasanya langka banget. Otomatis pengennya hari itu berlangsung indah. Jam setengah 9 pagi, seperti biasa ke pantry ambil minum bareng sama temen sebangku. Dia bikin teh, aku nyuci botol sekalian ngisi dong. Seperti biasa juga, kadang aku males sih nyuci botol dengan ritual lengkapnya, akhirnya cuman bilas pake air panas. Ya mungkin nggak sampe 50 ml juga. Dikit banget deh. Temen juga selalu bersihin gitu gelasnya pake air panas. Pic source is here Eh lakok lakok... si bapak pantry yang serem itu tiba-tiba bilang 'Gak bisa ya gak nyuci botol pake air panas? Tiap sore itu banyak komplain gara-gara airnya abis'. Yakaliii air abis tinggal isi aja, ibu yang dulu aja nggak pernah ada komplain. Ya aku bilang lah ini cuman dikit, lagian yang ngelakuin ini...

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena H dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus kesana. Maksudnya terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya H, dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya H.  Btw warna paspor Indonesia jadi biru ya sekarang?? Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Emang nggak pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu vis...
