Before Coup D'etat

Image
On July 2019, I managed to sneak away to Myanmar with my colleagues a week before school started.  Wait, why so sudden? And it was a week before school days? Did you not have to prepare for the new academic year? Yeah, well. I am a kind of person who professionally do well at school. But, when it comes to holiday sessions, I'd like to be totally immersed in my holiday, although it's only a week before it ends. Ha!  The plane ticket was bought 6 months ago around February, so I was aware of the dates. All accommodation has been covered since June as well, so that's more reason to go, although it's just a week before school. (Guess the old and young me had so much energy to release back then). I was super excited because it's the first time I was going to another SEA Country besides Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The journey was quite long because we planned to visit Yangon for the first two days, Inle Lake (Nyaungshwe) for 24 hours followed by Mandalay for two da

Panic Attack

 Have you ever feel like you have a sudden shortness of breath? Cause I was experiencing it since last night before bed. Today in the afternoon I have the same experience again. And it scares me.  What should I do?

Life Surprises Me

Actually, this post has been in my draft for years. I was having an idea about how life surprises me since I started to earn my living. However, it was never finished because either I kept postponing on writing it or kept changing what to write. Ha! Well, you might want to know why I am making this kind of post (or not! whatever). Because I know nothing about life although I try to plan ahead. I am a kind of person who'd like to have the life goes as planned. However, in fact, life sometimes drifts away from the planning. Yeah, it sometimes throws us lemons in the bizarre way.  As a person who lack experiences, I am yet exposed to the world. A real one. All I have done in my life was following the rules, being a good kid, getting good score, and caring others (?). So, once life is not going according to my schedule, my plan, my wish, I.....................am surprised (not brave enough to say that I am shock!). And do you want to know how I handle surprises? I am not going to say

Hey, What's SUB?

At the end of 2017, I got a chance (or an invitation?) to explore East Java from one of my colleague. I've known her since 2015 when I joined the new unit at school. She is from Pasuruan. She tries her luck in the capital city since years ago. But, when she has holidays, she decides to go home in Pasuruan. Pasuruan is one of the city in East Java that is usually called City of Mountain (if I'm not mistaken) because (yeah you can guess the reason why) it's surrounded by mountains. So, when she told me that she's coming home, I came along with her. :) She's so nice to let me sleep in her house and take me to see around Pasuruan, Surabaya, and Malang in just a few days. It's kind of a new experience for me because I did not remember going to Surabaya when I was a child. Once, I have been to Kediri, another small city in East Java. But, that's it. I've been to Malang as well, as a real tourist, and I thought I need more exposure of the other beautiful cities

Soooooo, it's been three years since my last post and so many things had happened. Err, I don't know where to start. But, the first thing I want to tell you is that it has been three years since I was given a new position at work: to be the unit coordinator of TEC HF. Woohoo! If you are following my journey, you must know that I am a special education teacher (est 2011 ). Yep, it's been years and I am still enjoying this job! I was handling primary level students for the first five years, and I was grateful to meet such lovely kids. I mean I looooove kids since I was a kid. I used to want to be a pediatrician but I managed my dreams and adjusted my expectation on how to work with a kids: by studying psychology. Ha! Yeah, I think it's kind of the same thing for me as long as I can be with kids, no? Okay, so. Handling for five years, I had to say goodbye to them lil' kids because I was rolled to teach in TEC HF (Transition Education Center - High Functioning) studen
