Hello, Hungary

This post may be I full of using English, don’t bored when you read my writing. It is helpful for learning English and also I do apologize if I make some mistake in my grammar, you can correct my writing in comment below ok guys.

The first thing I would like to tell you about my assignment, I have an assignment from my lecturer in my pronunciation class is finding foreigner in Surabaya City then we must asking some questions to him or her. I think it was challenging my ability of English.

Okay [Day 1]
Our first destination in Tunjungan Plaza Mall
to be honest I and Julia my partner to finding native really confused start from where? we gonna found native, finally we have some lists destination that we can explore. First place we went to Tunjungan Plaza Mall, I think many foreigners there. And ya we found first native near Sogo but he looks rushed, indeed we afraid to talk and stopped him. Then second native we found in food court when we waited our friend, but it failed to stop them, because they were also look hurrying to go to the cinema. The third native we found again, but we still afraid to stop them, they look fierce because there are many tattoos in their hands.
I think it’s quite a search for some foreigner in Tunjungan Mall because we still afraid to start ask them. It was bad habit right, don’t be like that guys😭.

The Second Destination in EF
Failed in Tunjungan Plaza, we went to English First aka EF. But we aren’t lucky there. The Office closed, omggg we felt exhausted to went the next destination.

The Third Destination in Sutos (Surabaya Town Square)
With a tired face we went to Sutos, this mall looks quite and not crowded than before. And surprising moment is in the first door we met a  native. As usual we afraid start to talk him, and also he seems hurrying to go home. Finally we haven’t got anything in the third destination, only we bought two beverages.

The fourth destination in Ciputra World
And again we have opportunity from God to see native there, he brought shopping bag form hypermart, automatically we went to hypermart and (again) we aren’t lucky. we haven’t saw native there😭 oh Allah in the fourth destination we still haven’t got anything we want, wanna cry!!! We continued walking and saw a native in front of department store, he looks like waited his wife shopping haha. I think he’s not busy and immediately I asked him, “excuse me Sir, are you busy right now?”  with sharp gaze he answered my question “no, I’m not busy, but I haven’t talking to you!” OMG it was really embarrassing moment when he rejected me, even tho I’m really polite to asked him, but no problem go on, no matter hard it is. We feel exhausted and we rest in book store, read some novel may be made us fun.

After that we go home decided to take a break and continue the journey tomorrow to talk to foreigners..

[Day 2]
This day I hope there’s miracle for us.
Our first destination in Tugu Pahlawan
we immediately ask the ticket guard, is there a visit of foreign tourists today? and in fact there is no visit of foreign tourists, oke go on to next destination yuhuuu~

The second destination in Siola Surabaya
there is no sign of foreign tourists here, a little dashed of our hopes☹️. We have a funny story is we spent money for parking, only parking, we don’t have feeling to buy some foods anywhere.

The third destination in Balai Pemuda
before we arrived in Balpem, we saw the left side Tunjungan Street, and yup! there’s a native from hungary.. his name Barris, omg how lucky we are, we immediately stopped our motorcycle and approaching him. The good news is he has time for us guys. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah.

I asked him some questions and with pleasure he answered my questions a million thanks to you Barris 🙂 I hope you see my post, but it’s impossible right? loll.
 
a brief meeting with him made my assignment complete, but in fact it wasn't finished yet, because julia didn't get a native. 

After that we went to Rumah Bahasa to short break Dhuhur, then we walking around balpem by our feet not motorcycle huhuy. But there’s no sign of foreigner. Don’t lose hope, next destination we are coming !!

The last destination in Grand City
Strolling around and try haven’t feel tired until we found a native. We had despaired again, because it had been there a long time but there was no native sign, we planned to go to next destination in lotte mart pakuwon trade center but and again we really surprised, alhamdulillah we met with Burgh native from Australia, he with pleasure interviewed by Julia and also he can little bit speak Bahasa uwaw clap along to Burgh! 


Thank you Barris and Burgh you guys, kind native I’ve ever met, nice to meet you guys. x.

“We can learn from my experience, so the point is when you finding some foreigners, don’t immediately ask them, even though in a polite manner. The most important thing is to see or guess their current mood or facial expression first, before starting a conversation.”

Covid-19

Nostalgia dikit boleh ya, sekitar tahun 2012 aku aktif di sosial media mulai dari facebook, twitter, instagram rasanya belum, punya blog ini juga belum. Bahkan aku inget banget di usia ku yang masih belasan tahun itu ga seberapa seneng yang namanya membaca, mungkin kalau ada sesuatu hal yang aku gatau, aku bakalan langsung nanya ke mama. Jadi bisa dibilang segala sumber informasiku itu mama hehehe.. Balik lagi ke soal sosial media yang aku gunain, I only used it for entertainment. Masih gatau tuh caranya nemuin konten-konten positif di fb, mungkin emang masih jarang yang ngebikin konten yang berbobot. Apalagi YouTube malah jarang banget diakses. Twitter juga gitu cuman buat having fun mentionin temen-temen, belum tahu yang namanya trend topics for checking what’s happening now in Indonesia or even the world. Seiring bertambahnya usiaku ditambah dengan kecanggihan Era 4.0, semua informasi mudah di dapat. Aku gamau buta lagi tentang apa yang lagi terjadi saat ini. Satu bulan bel...

The Kiddos are Cheering Me A Lot

      1 Juni yang lalu, tepat 21 tahun aku hidup di dunia, dua puluh satu tahun dibesarkan, dikasih makan, disekolahkan, dua puluh satu tahun yang amat berkesan, dua puluh satu tahun bertemu dan mengenal dengan banyak macam orang, suka duka sudah pernah mampir dihidupku, tak jarang perasaan kusut sering tinggal didiri ini. Sebenernya sejak berusia 16 tahun aku mencoba untuk memenuhi keinginanku dengan uangku sendiri, eitss keinginan lho bukan kebutuhan :p tandanya aku masih diberi makan gratis, tempat tinggal gratis, kuliah gratis dibiyai sama orang tua hehehe jadi belom mandiri-mandiri amat ya, sekadar membeli hape dan skincare pake duit sendiri. Tapi rasanya aku mulai bisa menyisihkan sebagian rezeki ku untuk membantu keperluan adekku, seperti membeli buku-buku paket sekolahnya, sepotong seragam, dan bayar wifi sendiri. Menurutku itu sebuah satu kenaikan pencapaian diumurku yang sudah gapantes untuk merengek-rengek minta hal gapenting, bahkan aku sudah memikirkan u...
