The Kite Runner ,,,“For you, a thousand times over”

The Kite Runner,,,Children have to be Happy!!

First, i didn't really like reading a novel, especially if it was written by foreign author. I thought that the language must be so complicated, even if it has been translated. But, when i saw my older brother recommend me to read this novel, I tried to read. Yup, The Kite Runner could be the great novel I have ever read. It made me cry and made me realize that there are so many people who have to lost their "happy" life, when they have to feel the war, loneliness, and fear.

It is written by Khaled Hosseini and he also comes from Afganistan, the plot of this novel. This novel told about the kid's life in Afganistan where they were so happy at first, but it was suddenly change when the Russian invasion came. Amir, as the main character, had to leave his country with his father to US. He had to leave his brother, that he just knew it when he was adult. 
Then, Amir had a good life in US, he found his girl and get married. His life changed again when he knew that his uncle called him for the first time after the have been separated. His uncle asked Amir to go to Pakistan because there was a secret that must be told. Then, AMir went to Pakistan and met his uncle,,then everything has been told by his uncle. He realized that Hassan was his "real" brother; when he was kid, Hasan was the best servant in his home, he also was the best friend of Amir, they spent time together all day long and Amir loved him as a brother.
Amir and Hassan 
The sad part of this novel came when Amir knew that Hassan has died, he was killed by Taliban because he didn't want to leave his old home in Afganistan T_________T , but Hassan's child was alive! That's why Amir had to find his niece. The conflict was so horrible when AMir had to fight with Taliban and he knew that his niece had to be Taliban servant.
I just can't tell you detail of this novel. but I know that the story looks so real T____T ,, i can't stop crying. I just can't imagine how that kids have to feel those bad things, they become slave, they are tortured!! 
Hosseini wrote it with the good language, he gave the real situation of the place from the politic, geographic, social and cultural system in Afghanistan. 
It's the nice novel,,,read it now!

Some nice quotes i got from this novel;
“For you, a thousand times over” 
“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.” 
“Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors.” 
“There is a way to be good again...” 
Amir and his nephew

No comment -____-

Today was so inspiring,,LOL,, I don't know why! I just got the inspirations to write about the "woman" when they are not girl anymore,,hehe,,just like the Britney's song " I am not a girl,,,not yet a woman" . Yup,, my conversation with my old friend who has been 20's must be so interesting. Yup,,you know that in this age, a woman must need a "new life", especially if they have got anything,, they have graduated from their school, they have good job, nice salary and they comfort with their life! I just realized that we, as women, need the other "life",,hmm,, I know you can guess it!
Get married? That's a normal dream,,and I am pretty sure that every woman wants to get married,,find their lovely prince and have a happy family! but,, i just realized that I also have to have that "life" ,,,WOW!! She said,,what will I do next? I have everything I want,,I am too bored to do this daily activities all day long,, I need something new,, I need something special,, I will not spend my time Alone!
We also visit our friend who has been just gave birth a baby,,,and I also just realize that I love baby!! That's normal, right???
Yup,,, and again,,I just realize that condition!!!

They're Super Duper Cuteeeee ^________^






I miss....

When your prayer has not been granted by God
I know that you will get the better
Yeah,,if sometimes I feel so hurt because of my weakness, I just can surrender..
Let me enjoy my crying,, my loneliness and my intimate with God instead of blame of everything!
God probably wants to see me to complain to Him,,maybe I was too far from Him

I have to be positive, That's the most important thing!
That's my big weakness,,I always stuck with the bad feeling,, pessimists, fear, and nervous!
i don't why i really love to keep all of bad things,,,,is that ironic?

What happened to north Korea?



We will never know what happened to north korea because I think, this country is a mystery. We even don't understand what the people want and you never know the real activities of the people there. North Korea is only one country who still hold the communist principal. Yup, do you want to know what happened in  North Korea? 
This country is clean enough, we can see it in the Pyongyang, the capital city. There is no air pollution or even rec lame board which are put a long the street. 



The city is like a ghost town during the weekThere are only a little bar inPyongyangbut has been closed since 22.00. There was no crowd in the city. It'sa strange fact because the city is inhabited by about 3 million people"saidCockerell on the CNN website.

He has visited North Korea more than 100 times"There is no hustle and bustle.Everything was happening so short, about five minutesUsuallythe first day youwill say to yourself'Bloody hell, I am currently located in the Northwherecitizens'?"

North Korea is a society of workersHere, the last working day for six daysand the kids are in school more often"On weekends you may be able to see peopleplaying or are in the park," said Cockerell.

"It's a very poor countryPeople are not spending money because they do nothave itand not many people can afford."

Cockerell worked in a tourism companyKoryo Group, based in the Koryo.

Nicholas Bonnerwho also lives in Beijingestablished companies that offer toursranging from two-day visit to Pyongyang to 16 night trips around the country.

The typical customer is adventurous and travelers Koryo fineMany travelers enjoytheir tripSometimes you may see a strange man looked across the street, youmight suspectIt could be they were spies.

The easy ways to teach Past Tense ( Cara Mudah mengajar Past Tense)

Past tense is the most important tense that must be learned by every body who want to be able to master in English, whether it is for listening, reading, writing and speaking. Me, as Indonesian teacher who teach English feel that it is not easy, especially when i want to ask my students to speak. At first, they can easily speak in past tense, but for the next sentences, blank.....

That's why, the method to teaching past tense will determine whether you success or not, here are some tips
1. Start with explaining the time. It is important to ask your students about their daily activities. Yup, if they have learnt about present tense, they can easily answer it. then, you can ask them about their activities yesterday,,,aha,,,it's time for you to explain!
2. Give pictures. You can give the picture of the time where someone did something at the same time yesterday. It will help your students to understand.
3. Give Video. Learning by watching will be great! You can easily find on Youtube, yup,,you can watch this video, for example




I am pretty sure your teaching and learning time will be fun!!

Enjoy it!
