Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Ini Dutch, Bukan Deutsch


Hari ini kelas Bahasa Belanda yang kedua dan ehmmm lagi lagi bacanya seperti Jerman. Ntah kenapa, terlalu lama terkontaminasi Jerman bertahun tahun jadi bikin lidah ini ngomongnya persis Jerman meskipun tulisannya Belanda. 

Trus jadi mikir hari ini, kayaknya ngomongnya lebih gampang Jerman daripada Belanda deh ya. Ya mungkin karena kebiasaan juga akhirnya juga begitulah. Baca vokal dobel malah diganti hurufnya, padahal vokal dobel di bahasa ini dibacanya panjang (contoh heeft dibacanya bukan hift tapi heift). Tapi ya lidah tidak bertulang. Mlungker mlungker. 

Duits yang harusnya dibaca Dauts, gw baca Deutsch (Doits). Artinya sih sama, tapi bacanya bego. Gini jadi mikir sejenak "oh begini ya rasanya murid gw yang gw suruh baca Korea dengan benar yang kedengeran kek mandarin" Lidah dan otaknya beda arah. 

Ini senin, dan hari ini juga gw punya kelas pertama Bahasa Belanda, trus langsung ngajar Korea. Lidah rasanya harus di setel ulang biar ganti nada. Itu ternyata cukup menantang lol. Tapi seru sih. Sekarang PR gw harus rajin baca. Baru kemarin nyuruh murid gw latihan baca novel Korea sekarang gw yang disuruh baca. Udah lupa rasanya jadi murid gimana 😂

Lucunya, yang ngajar kalo gw udah kebangetan banget dia bilang "Gapapa wis kamu kan dari selatan, masih lah ada logat logat aksen baca memper Jerman". 

Iya jadi PR ku hari ini dan selanjutnya adalah belajar membaca 😀

  1. Yang beda-beda tipis suka malah mbingungin ya. Waktu belajar Jerman dulu (sekarang sudah tidak bisa lagi, nggak pernah dipakai soalnya hehe), tetap saja nggak ngerti kalau Ibu ngomong Belanda. BTW, artikel ini bikin saya jadi ingat sama "Prisencolinensinainciusol", lagu tahun 70'an oleh Adriano Celentano (tentang gimana rasanya ngengerin omongan yang bahasanya kita nggak ngerti). :)

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
