Part 1

PERTAMA KALI HIDUP 
DI KANADA


Sungguh tak menyangka, impianku selama ini bisa berkeliling dunia  terkabul. Sekarang, aku sudah menjelajah 3 negara, Singapura, Filipina dan Kanada. 3 bulan sudah aku berada di Amerika Utara. susah senang sedih bahagia sudah pernah aku rasakan, masih berkutat denggan strungle my dream

Hidup di negara maju sungguh berbeda. 23 tahun hidup di Indonesia yang serba susah dan sulit, kini apapun serba mesin. Ketika aku bertanya dengan seseoramg, mereka hanya tertawa. Tertawa karena kadang mereka tidak paham apa yang aku bicarakan dan tertawa karena semua berbeda. Seperti orang desa masuk kota. Tidak tahu apa-apa dan harus bertanya what why how. Semua pekerjaan dilakukan serba mesin. Ketika aku melihat truk pengangkut sampah, truk nyapu dijalanan. Semua itu membuat aku kagum. Kapan negara ku akan seperti ini.

Hal yang paling sering ditanyakan orang adalah apakah kamu betah. Aku hanya bisa menjawab "alhamdulillah " singkat padat dan jelas maknanya. Semua terasa indah ketika menjalani hari hari dimana aku selalu sendiri. Teman merantau menjadi keluarga. Aku selalu teringat kedua orangtuaku. Karna mereka, aku tidak akan bisa sampai sini. Orang tua selalu mendukung keinginan anaknya, keinginan anaknya yang ingin sekali sekolah diluar negeri tapi tak punya biaya, so proud of my parents. I miss them so much.

Well, tulisan ini hanya sekedar ingin mencurahkan isi hati dan pikiran bukan ada maksud yang lain karna dengan berbagi cerita maupun informasi secara tidak sengaja kita juga berbagi ilmu dan mungkin saja kita akan mendapatkan good deed hehehe, bukan maksud pamer atau menyombongkan diri lho??

Pertama kali aku datang ke sini waktu musim dingin (winter) jadi kaget banget lihat pemandangan yang tidak pernah terjadi Indonesia. Semua diselimuti pemandangan putih seperti berada di awan. Kebetulan 2 minggu setelah kedatangan aku di sini terjadi badai salju es (ice storm) atau kata orang jawa "saljune berubah dadi es".Tentunya merasakan perbedaan yang sangat jauh berbeda, dari hidup di negara tropis ke hidup di negara super dingin.Baru satu hari ice storm, listrik ditempatku padam, otomatis aku tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa. Maklum, hidup di negara yang serba modern, tidak ada listrik seperti tidak ada kehidupan. Otomatis aku dan keluarga yang aku tinggali harus pindah ke luar kota.. Akhirnya aku pindah ke Hamilton, salah satu kota di Ontario. Ditempuh dengan 3 jam perjalanan via tol. Tol disini beda sama tol di negara asal. Semua orang seperti dikejar anjing kata pepatah. Disini kalo lewat tol harus melaju lebih dari 80 km/jam. Kalau lewat express toll bisa tu nyampe 200 km/jam kayak roket hehe. Tapi memang betul, mereka kebanyakan melaju dengan kecepatan 120 km/jam lebih. Jadi bisa dibayangin bagaimana jalan toll disini. Setelah 2 hari menginap di hotel, aku pun pindah ke Niagara falls karena di daerah Toronto semua listrik masih padam. 2 hari di Niagara falls, aku pun kembali ke Toronto. Bersyukur juga kalau bukan karna listrik padam aku pun tidak akan pernah menginjakkan kaki di Niagara Falls, air terjun yang berlokasi di perbatasan Amerika dan Canada.


Bagi pekerja seperti diriku, sabtu minggu merupakan hari yang selalu dinanti nantikan. Bisa keluar, tidur, part time maupun jalan jalan. Surga dunia menurutku. Seorang temanku mengajakku untuk mendaftar ke perpustakaan. Tempat yang nyaman bagi sebagian orang untuk sekedar numpang duduk.. Ini menurutku, karna hidup dinegara asing dengan orang asing pun sangat susah ditambah pula dengam bahasa yang kadang aku masih sangat minim untuk bercakap-cakap atau susah mengerti apa yang mereka katakan. Tapi, orang Kanada senang sekali berbicara masalah musim,hanya mengawali pembicaraan "dingin ya hari ini?"  mereka pun akan berbicara panjang lebar. Ciri khas orang Kanada..Tidak ada tempat untuk  berkunjung, perpustakaan lah bagiku tempat bersembunyi. Selain bisa online gratis, ruangannya pun nyaman lebih baik daripada  shopping centre atau museum. Untuk mendapatkan member di perpus sangat lah mudah. Tidak ada penarikan biaya, cuma menyerahkan identitas, mereka akan memberikan member. Inilah enaknya hidup dinegara maju, semua akses di permudah. Enaknya disini, perpus ada dimana mana, setiap daerah punya perpustakaan dan setiap perpustakaan punya program masing-masing. Di perpustakaan yang sering aku kunjungi di daerah markham road, mereka punya program bagi newcomer (pendatang baru). Jadi mereka akan membantu mengurus serba serbi yang dibutuhkan disini. Bagi pekerja sepertiku, aku harus punya health card atau asuransi kesehatan. Cara mengurusnya pun sangat mudah. Cukup datang ke service canada, tanya ke salah satu petugas kalau ingin mengurus health card. Tidak ada
pungutan biaya, cukup memberikan informasi di paspor sama work permit, mengisi formulir ,foto  dan sebulan kemudian health card pun sudah di kirim via mail atau dikirim ke rumah tempat kita tinggal. Selain itu, aku harus punya SIN number. Kartu ini gunanya untuk mengetahui apa yang kita lakukan disini, kerja, belajar atau menganggur dan terdapat serial number. Kartu ini pun sangat penting karna kalau kartu ini sampai hilang dan disalahgunakan serial number oleh orang lain, pemerintah pun akan memanggil kita karna dengan kartu ini pemerintah akan tahu apa yang kita kerjakan disini karena berhubungan dengan pajak pula. Jadi, 2 kartu ini sangat penting untuk hidup disini. Kembali lagi ke program di perpustakaan library,  enaknya punya member perpus, tiap sabtu mereka punya tiket jalan jalan gratis ke museum, kebun binatang, gallery dll yang dibagikan secara undian. Caranya cukup datang ke perpus sebelum jam 09:45 dengan menyerahkan member card. Mereka akan memberi kita nomor undian. Undian pun dimulai setelah jam 10:00. Bagi nomor yang dipanggil yang akan berhak memilih tiket gratis jalan-jalan keliling Toronto. Berpura pura jadi turis. Kembali lagi ke program library, selain itu mereka punya program pelatihan bahasa inggris. Semua program perpus gratis tidak ada sumbangan apapun. Untuk pelatihan ini kita cukup datang  ke YMCA centre. Pendaftaran mereka gratis, mereka akan menguji kemampuan bahasa inggris melalui listening, reading, writing dan speaking. Di akhir pendaftaran, mereka akan menempatkan kita di kelas yang sesuai dengan kemampuan bahasa inggris kita. Ketika di kelas, sangat menarik karna semua orang datang dari berbagai suku, dari bangsa Asia, Afrika, Eropa, maupun Amerika. Mereka berbicara menutut logat  mereka masing-masing.  Di akhir kelas, mereka akan menguji kemampuan kita dan memberikan kita sertifikat dengan score masing-masing.




 "NEW LIFE"

Live in the Agency



Sometimes, we must ready for face any situation. Just as with my condition now. Last incident occur again and come back in my circumstance. There is no my computer, sewing machines, motorcycle, musical instrument and the most crucial is no friend to talking about my condition. when i got a friend to share what am I feeling,it's just impossible, they are only share their feeling, they don't want know my story. Actually, I go through some boring condition. there is no special for me. "Dr. Galau is my name" because many problem run out in my life.

This incident come back again like my dedication 2 years ago with my friends. We assembled and recognized each other in a dedication program in the community obligate from my university precisely in Wonosobo, Central Java. In there, we did some social activity. We are extremely pleasure and glad for doing that. Meeting with same people and find out about their rural activity such as farming, gardening. That is excited for me and get knowledge about life in inland of rural, far away from busy area. In there, I got many new partner, and one of my partner come from same hometown with me. He is very skilfull. He teach me how to play guitar. that's is great opportunity for me and it make me interest with him but he interest daughter of village secretary. Sometimes, I envy with that girls, When did I got partner of life or notice my life? My friend created a song for that girls. Actually, I got little accident in my heart. When I separated with my friends, I cried for that. I feel, we couldn't meet again and assemble with them. It's make me down. But when i see photo someone in FB who go far away from this country, it's fill my heart again. In the night,in the afternoon, in the morning,.,. I always remember him. *o*

In other hand, that incident occur again recently. I got new friend who could play guitar too. And luckyly, he believe me to talking his life with me, to becoming third people in his life. Every night, we chat to enquire daily news in my dormitory. He become my friends. I'm thrilled because i could find many friends in here, to get together and carry out our activities in here. Furthermore,he give me direction how to deal with my low ability to confront my test. it's amazing situation for me, i could share with him about my hard-think to built self-confidence to speak with another person with different language. Thank you very much, friend! ^_^

However, our class have strange condition, we could point out to another person that we could succes to confront our test. I called strange condition because there is a lot of style was given by my friends. there is funny person with her joke everyday. My friend called her with mention as "Miss Technology". Afterward, serious people with her book and newspaper or "Miss Sport" but actually she is nice person. In addition, there is someone always bring foods for our class and always made us enjoy when we beside her with her strange-acting or "Miss Hongkong". Then, someone who always support and teach us in material,she is more clever than another student but she is friendly,calm and like chip in us when we got difficulty or "Miss Daily Activities". In the other friends, there is some one who expert in cooking and also give us humorous circumstance with her unusual action such as singing suddenly in the class with her nice voice and all over people in the class will laugh together simultaneously or " Miss Cooking". Beside that, someone who expert too in cooking but she have strange habit also like always smiling and laughing when she speak or presentation. It's make us go through unique circumstance because we think, there is not joke to laughing or smiling. We called her as "Miss Freedom" and  the last people is some one who expert in singing, she become the winner of yip idol with her amazing voice and with her expression on her face, sometimes look funny and made us launghing or "Miss Forest". Moreover, we accompanied by overhelming teachers who have high skill and friendly with us, he is patient people for teach us and face naughty students. They like our friends to talking more about our life when one of us got difficulty in the life.

I wish, all of us will succes for reach our dreams and our goals,.,., ^_^


IELTS PRACTICE

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME??? 



This topic is discussed with my friend, Dhena Meriza today. If we enquired some one about our attitude, it will difficult for answer it.

Now, I'm called by my old brother. He is as my old brother because he always gives me advice although his advice only empty word for me. He ask to me that he want accompany me in Canada. Hahh it's just kidding from his. I understand what he is talking. Despite of this, I regard him as my old brother the best for me. Each people have excess and shortage. For example, when I ask miss Dina "what do you think about me?" she answer "you are the smart woman, graduated from university,you are skilfull because you can operate the computer, sew and design some clothes, beside that you can playing any instrument although still beginning. In addition, you can dance many kinds of dance such as hip hop dance, dangdut dance, and traditional dance. So, i think, your life is very amazing."

That is life. Life need choice what will we do in the future. As much as possible some one explore their talent as back up our life in the future. It's my mission. But in the fact, someone see another people usually from their face not from their inner beauty. We must believe that God will provide the best life for some one who never give up and they will try,solve and fix when they have many problems. Because spirit is the power of success and trust is the power of  love.. ^_^

PRACTICE WRITING "LITTLE BIT INCIDENT"


I will make a story about incident in this day. At the first, we was meeting with my Marketing consultant in this company at 4.00 o'clock. Honestly, we are felling not good in this day because calling from marketing consultant to held a meeting with him. Then, at that time, we meet with him. Marketing consultant says that he heard some information which not good for our class. Maybe one of us tell him about that complain. He says that if we have something to say about improving our english mainly our teacher, we can say with him and we can solve this problem and issue. At the first, My friends make a complain about our teacher. She is dissapointed because she doesn't concerned by my teacher. She feel not improving with her english language. Then, my friends give make an opinion too. she like my teacher because she feel improve after my teacher come. I don't know about my friend that not agree and dislike with my teacher although i feel, she improve her english language because i think she can speak or listen english very well. She will take IELTS test this week, so why she complain about my teacher? is she want my teacher break from this company? for reason what? i didn't think about it.

After that, i just say to my marketing consultant to add an english teacher for new student. I feel pity to my friend because she isn't yet able to english skill, maybe her speaking is very good but for writing or listening, she disable for that. I hope our company can reach that, but if cannot provide another teacher, never mind for me. My teacher now is enough for me. Maybe i want IELTS test next 2 month, i hope so. ^^

After meeting with marketing consultant, we notify with cooking teacher for carefully to keep our facilities. Most recently, she always see student walk to go in bathroom at learn time. Maybe, we will remember that. I hope, this situation can be better. ^_^
