Another month has gone by. Goodbye July, holla August!
Well, I’m going to write things that have happened since my last post.
English Class
First off, I started my English class in Fluo Institute which is super
fun! My teacher, Sophie is very easy-going and creative. I actually thought
that my first day would be awkward and kind of boring but it was a complete
fun. There are 5 students; Rico, Yohanna, Bobby, Kiki, and I. They’re so funny.
Rico, for an instance, has this (unconsciously) a bit crush on John (John is
another teacher in Fluo whom I haven’t met yet but I’ve heard a lot about him
from Rico lol). We teased Rico every time he talks about John and his face
would be all red. And Bobby, he is the funniest of all. First glance, you
would’ve thought that he’s an innocent geek guy, but believe me that he
is not innocent nor geek. He swears all the time! Bobby is obsessed with Megan
Fox and I honestly think that he should go see a psychiatric to get over her hahaha.
He also talks about how he doesn’t like Nicki Minaj because of her fake boobs
and butt. As for Yohanna and Kiki, they don’t really talk much in the class but
sometimes we throw jokes and teased the others all together. Oh, we have one
general rule in the class. We have to do the “naughty step” when we (1) talk
dirty or swear or curse, (2) using our phone during class, and (3) talk in
Indonesian. So naughty-step is a form of punishment where we have to stand in
the corner of the classroom for 1-2 minutes.
Moody or inconsistent?
Lately I’ve been changing my mind a lot! Until last month I was really
in love with Adam Levine and I’d always thought that I want a husband like him.
But then recently (maybe a few weeks lately), out of nowhere, it got me so
bored seeing him on TV, magazines, even twitter. It got me thinking that maybe
I’ve been in love to his tattoos, not him. His tattoos are so cool but I don’t
really think so about him. He’s boring. He’s just another good-looking musician
who has a great body shape and that’s it. I guess, he’s just another, you know,
bad guy that you would love to spent some time with, but not the one that you
would take home and introduce to your parents. Point is, he’s just the kind of
guy that you have fun with but not the one you spend the rest of your life
with.
Novak Djokovic. I was a HUGE fan of him last year. He’s very charming on
court and I just fell in love when I saw him the first time he played in
Barcelona last year. But, it all changed in Australian Open when he played in
the final against Rafael Nadal. To be honest, before Australian Open, I didn’t
really like Rafael Nadal. But now, I just can’t stand to watch Djokovic’s
matches and I just love it when he lost his matches. I turned to like Rafael
Nadal instead.
And here’s another one. A couple months ago, I was obsessed with John
Vesely (Secondhand Serenade) and I couldn’t stop tweet him every single day. I wanted
him to follow me (I act like a freak teenager, I know!). After tons of my (annoying)
tweets, he finally followed me on twitter. The next day after he followed me, I
stopped listen to his songs and removed them from my favorite playlist in ITunes.
If I’m driving and the radio plays his songs, I’ll change the radio channel. I don’t
like him anymore.
I used to like to let the TV on while I’m asleep, now I just can’t sleep
if the TV is still on (even if it’s mute).
I don’t know whether I’m a moody person or inconsistent? Either way, I
suppose that we, as human-being change our mind a lot, right? Or is it just me?
IFRS
IFRS is International Financial Reporting Standards. My intermediate
financial accounting lecturer, Mr. Marsel gave us a copy of his English version
of IFRS e-book by Barry J. Epstein and Eva K. Jermakowicz. He wants us to read
the 1200-something pages book as a supplement material to our literature book
(Intermediate Accounting by Kieso & Weygandt). Good Lord! So I’ve been reading
IFRS for a week now and I’m on the page 39. Yes, it took me a week to get to
page 39. It’s in Accounting English! Not just in ordinary daily English that
you watch on TV, it’s a very complicated form of English and most of its not-so-common
terms. This would take ages for me to read and probably by the time I finish
reading, some of the IFRS rules have changed.
Drove Around Town
Last week after class in campus, I decided to drive around town for an
hour and took some pictures. This city has been changing a lot since I first
moved here two years ago.
