Well,
I have read your note “The Changing”. No matter how hard I speak/write in
English (again), I will try :)
Since I was 4 years old, my mom told
about my childhood story that I ever bite a boy’s hand. Oh My God, I think my
mom told me about it more than twenty times. My mom always told me about you,
and I knew your name is Yugo. Until we attended to senior high school, we were as the classmate, you are Yoga and I
am Andwi. Do you know, in our class room, you didn’t realize that sometimes I
looked at your hand, I wanted to catch that sign of bitting to make sure what my
mom ever said to me. Anyway, right hand or left hand Yugo?haha.
Now, after reading “The Changing” I
feel wonder and speechless at the moment for some things. First, you still
remember our childhood story in detail. Second, your English is increasing very
well, I can get the feeling from every your words arrangement (hehe,lebay).
Third, you still remember our conversation in the terrace of your home. Actually
at that time I was so amazed when you invited me to have a chitchat, you sat
next to me, you show that how your English very good now. Fourth, you make me
as one of the inspiring persons for you to increase your English ability, but
actually I am nothing. And the last, you have written a note, entitled “The
Changing”.
Yugo, do you still remember, when we
have a debating forum in English lesson with mam Yona? Our class was divided
into two groups. Boy and girl group. Firstly, boy group delivered some
arguments that I tough make our group (girl group) lose, and I wanted to try giving
my arguments as our defense. When I said, “ok..I would like to say that....bla
bla bla...”, suddenly your group; Rangga, Fathur (ikut ga ya, apa sudah ke
Amerika?), Ilham, Ridho and also you said that, ”Hiaaa..sudah mam..nyerah kami
mam..nyerah..” while raising the chair up. After that moment I realize
that, maybe my friends didn’t interested to me, I decided not to use English
anymore.
“When someone does love
English, she/he will be an English speaker for all the topics and all the
times, even she/he doesn’t care to whom she/he is speaking to. She/he just say
what she/he wants to say because it’s such an interesting activity for her/him”
Do you feel like this Mas Yugo? Haha, aku sotoy :D
Ihh, sekarang memang aku payah nih
*ngetok jidat sendiri*. You are right, my English is decreasing. I just use my
limited English capability to read some medical journals to do my assignment. I
have no confidence anymore to speak English in the ceremony. I have ever asked
to my inspired lecturer in medical faculty, “Sir, what indicator someone called
expert in English? When they can speak speak sama bule gitu? When they can
discuss in formal forum? When they just read some journals (like me^^)?”. He
answered, ”When they can understand what they listen to/read and then telling/writing
it well”.
Last time, to keep winning a lot of
English speech contest was my orientation. I have big reason for it. Our school
need some achievements to get accreditation. Don’t ever think what the things
that school can give to us, but let’s think what achievements that we can give
to school, as the present. Now, I have other orientation. I teach children to
study English, when they can say “good everrning ayuk puty or good mrooning or
good evenung ayuk puty” , it makes me happy too. There’s a child, his name is
Farel, so smart boy, 4 years old. Farel asked me, “Ayuk..bener nggak menyuruh
teman diam itu bahasa Inggrisnya keep
quite?” haha, he’s so cute boy, suddenly he screamed, “TEMAAAANNNN KEEP
QUITE!!!!!”. I am so happy, happier than to be a winner in speech contest,
hehe.
Mas Yugo, you said that now Putri is
a bit different from Putri you used to know. I don’t realize that there’s
changing in my self. Thanks for reminding me. But, there’s one never change
from my self? I still like biting, be careful :P
