Belajar Hangul Series

Sudah hampir 5 bulan di korea, tetapi masih payah bahasa korea hihihi. Sebenernya dari awal sudah ada kuliah bahasa korea, namun pelajarannya terlalu basic, sulit untuk langsung dipraktekkan. Jadilah saya dan teman-teman belajar otodidak dan dibantu oleh teman-teman Korea. Saya sendiri lebih banyak mendengarkan podcast belajar hangul di sela-sela   kegiatan lab

Okay, biar ingat vocab hangul,saya akan rajin posting ngeblog pelajaran dalam Hangul , minimal satu kata satu kalimat satu hari (smoga istiqomah ).

Seri kali ini, kata penghubung “tetapi” , bahasa koreanya ( 그렇지만)  geu-reo-chi-man  dan ( 그런데 ) geu-reon-de. 그렇지만  dipakai tetapi untuk menghubungkan kalimat yang kontras artinya  sedangkan 그런데 bisa dipakai/sa,a dengan “dan”

Contoh kalimat:

피곦해오 . 그렇지만  TV 보고싶어오  (SAya lelah tapi saya ingin menonton TV)

Dimana Kalian?

Hari ini, saya teringat kawan-kawan yang sudah lama tak berjumpa. Sekedar ingin tahu bagainmana kabar mereka sekarang, karena sudah lama tidak saling kontak. Untunglah sekarang jaman facebook, twitter dan blog, saya bisa mengetahui kabar mereka mereka dengan situs jejaring sosial tersebut. Tidak sulit mencari mereka di dunia maya, cukup ketikkan nama lengkap di google dan saya bisa tahu beberepa aktivitas mereka selama beberapa waktu terakhir.

Alhamdulillah setelah jalan2 di dunia maya, saya melihat teman-teman saya tersebut baik-baik saja.  Terlihat dari adanya aktivitas di dunia maya, walaupun cuma nulis status galau, sedih, marah, yah setidaknya kamu baik-baik saja disana. paling nggak masih sempet internetan.

Yang saya takutkan adalah teman yang sama sekali tidak ada update di dunia maya (update status di facebook misalnya). Beberapa tampak “menghilang” dari dunia maya (kemana kamu? ). Jadi teringat masa-masa kami kuliah bersama, senang susah di bangku kuliah dan bermain bercanda setelah kuliah, dan sekarang kamu kok nggak ada kabarnya? Apakah sekarang dirimu baik-baik saja?, begitu pertanyaan saya. Apakah kamu ada kesulitan? ingin rasanya saya membantu. Tapi kini, kami sudah berpisah-pisah di berbagai tempat, sulit untuk berjumpa.

Mungkin masalah akademik salah satu penyebabnya, beberapa waktu lalu saya emndengar si X sudah di DO dari almamater saya karena sudah terlalu banyak ketinggalan kuliah. Mungkin karena itu juga dia tidak mau meberi kabar di dunia maya . But hey,  i don’t care about your GPA or  where you’re working now. Just tell me that  you’re doing good right now.

Ya Allah, Saya berharap mereka baik-baik saja sekarang

Touchdown Korea

Halo, sudah lama tidak mengupdate blog, dan tahu-tahu saya sudah berada di negeri nun jauh disana hehe. Untuk edisi kali ini tidak memakai bahasa inggris, karena saya tidak istiqomah, next time lah ya

Sekarang saya sedang berada Korea, tepatnya di Gumi city, Gyeongsang-buk. Saya belajar S2 disini di Kumoh National Institute of Technology (KIT) , alhamdulillah mendapatkan beasiswa (red: bukan beasiswa juga sih, tapi yang jelas bisa sekolah dan hidup gratis selama disini ). Saya disini bersama 7 teman dari Indonesia, satu jurusan pula, jadi  bisa hidup bersusah-susah  bareng hehe.

Ketika sampai di bandara Incheon

Kesan saya ketika pertama kali di Korea, negara ini teratur, jalannya lebar-lebar, bis dan taksi biasanya mengebut di jalan raya saking lebar jalannya. Tampaknya bis adalah alat transportasi yang populer disini. Satu lagi : HIJAU dan BERBUKIT-BUKIT . Tak disangka ternyata korea sangat hijau, banyak bukit, jadi pengen hiking . Saya datang kesini saat musim summer menjelang Fall, namun udaranya mirip bandung. Tak terbayang kalau nanti sudah Fall dan Winter (katanya sampai minus  10 derajat)

Di Incheon Bridge, perjalanan menuju kota gumi menggunakan bus

 

Sejauh ini, orang-orang korea baik-baik, tapi bahasa inggrisnya ternyata payah, bahkan untuk orang seukuran S1. Mau tidak mau, harus belajar bahasa korea. Saya sendiri jarang menonton KDrama atau band2 korea yang populer di Indonesia, tampaknya harus mulai dibiasakan disini

Well, itu dulu, masih masa adaptasi, alhamdulillah sudah berlalu seminggu disini dan tidak kurang suatu apa.  nantikan cerita berikutnya

Let’s Learn Swimming!

P.S : Before, i want to tell you that I’ not an advance in swimming, i’m a beginner. if you want to  learn how to swim, just googling it, there are much tutorial about how to swim. Here, i want to share my experiences as a beginner in learning how to swim.

Recent 3 month, i have learned swimming. At first, i know nothing about swimming . Even i can’t float in the water and keep drowning hahaha. But then, i and some of my friend (who can’t swim too) agreed that we must be able to swim because so many reason, one of them is it keep us healthy, burning much calories, building good posture. I myself learn swimming because i think it is basic skill of a man.

I and my friend learned swimming together. None of us were able to swim . Even, my friend brought his snorkling equipment .  Nevertheless, we kept learn by example, by looking people who already able to swim in pool, i myself also learn by watching video on Youtube. I suggest you watching youtube video of JimmyDShea, he is a marine, i think his video is good. But, i’m sure there is no learning without practicing, so we must not be afraid to enter the water .

My first style i learned is breast-stroke , it is the easiest and slowest style of swimming. I learned breast-stroke in 1 week B-) , but it only good in its form of movement  and then later weeks,  i  have to learn how to make my movement more efficient and faster.  I think breast-stroke is very suitable for beginner. It’s very relax, even i can swim 250 m with this style without taking a rest B-)

Second, freestyle-stroke. it is the most efficient and fastest style of swimming. It took much time for me to learn it, maybe more than 1 month. At first, it is very exhausting, i can only swim 25 m with this freestyle-stroke. Then, i start to control its rythm, slowering it so that i won’t be tired in the middle of pool . Now i always swim using this style, i still learn to make my movement more efficient. Later, it’s good for us if you learn this freestyle-stroke with snorkling equipment and fins.

For the other swimming stroke, butterfly-strokes, it’s hardest, most exhausting stroke but slower than freestyle (record in oltympic game). But it’s awesome and cool! i really want to be able doing this stroke. For Backstroke, i’m only able a little bit, but i think it’s not suitable for public pool, because, there’s a huge chance for crashing with other swimmer in the pool

I usually swim at swimming pool at Sabuga. It costs only Rp. 3000 for students and Rp. 8000 for public, it’s cheap, right? Okay see ya there

Joining a club (1) : English Club

Hi, today’s post i’ll write about joining a club. Last wednesday, my friends ask me to join an English Club in Bandung. I am interested to join that club because i want to improve my capability of speaking english. That club name is “The Center”, it is located in Setiabudhi Street, in front of Pizza Hut Restaurant. There, we can meet people that also join the club, moreover there are some foreigner there, so we can have a conversation with native speaker .

The rule is pretty simple, you just come, sit and join within a group discussion there. There are also libraries and table tennis there. My first experience of  joining this club was great. We have conversation with Mr. Justin, he is a Air Conditioner repairman from Texas, he came to Bandung for New Year’s vacation. The owner’s club is his friend, so he is invited there. He said he loved Indonesia except its traffic. But compared to another place he ever visited (Hawaii, Moskow), he love Indonesia most  because our friendly people. We also had various conversation about academic, career even religious , of course from his point of view. Well, actually i didn’t speak much,  i’ m much more listening and being a yesman . Next time, i’ll be more active

Beside having conversation, there are another activities, i.e. sports, hiking, watching movie. Well, wish i can improve my english and have a fun there. Wanna join?

Happy New Year!!

Hi my blog, how’re you doing? i think it’s been a long time since i didn’t write a post here. OK, it is a classic reason if  i tell that  i was too busy to write a single post here. Everybody’s busy out there, i’m just too lazy to look after this blog. Or i just too much thinking before writing , so that there are much posts that i’ve planned to post but it’s end as a post draft haha..

It’s already 2011!, I have to change something. See the difference? yes, i’ll start writing my blog in english. I have to start learning writing in english, because i realize it’s an important matter. I’m sorry if there’re so much wrong tenses. Don’t worry, i’ll make my blog as interesting as possible, because i’ll attach more image so you also can feel my imagination & my feeling

Watching Bandung citylight from Bukit Moko

it’s beautiful, right? On new year’s eve, i went there to bukit Moko with my friends. It is about 3-5 km far north-east Bandung. From there, we can see whole Bandung from west to east. Especially on New Year’s eve, we can see fireworks on whole city so it looks like there is a war in Bandung.  I think it’s a beautiful place to spent the night, sunset or sunrise there. so, have a nice year
