Now, I am in China. Yes, I landed safely at BaiYun International Airport, GuangZhou, China on July 19, 2010. Now I live in Dongguan City, which is a nice city. With all my appearances, I blended with local people and NOBODY believes straight away that I cannot speak Chinese. I will speak Chinese, but not in my first day here. So every time they speak Chinese to me I just shake my head and tell...

The answer maybe yes. I am going to China this July. What makes me think that I have lost my mind about it? I am going there with nothing, only hope that there will be a school or a course would let me work there so I can apply for working visa. So far, no company wants to make deal before I am there. I have some offers but they need to see me first....

This question popped up on my mind because my mom asked me about it. I will apply for tourist visa for the first time I go to China. Then that visa will last for 30 days plus 14 days. If there's a school that want to take care of my visa thing and give me a working visa and a permanent resident, everything will be cool. But how if that's not going to happen?  Honestly,...

It's been a WHILE since I posted my last blog. Why? Because I felt a little bit stress here and there. As you know, Rob is in China now, so I felt a little bit stress out, stay here with crazy students. Works is not fun for me any more as I can't share the story about it (my parents don't want me to be a teacher). Then on the last day Rob was here,...

It's 7.30 am and I'll be in Bangka in the next 24-hours. Yay!!!!!!! Although I have my crazy student to teach today, I don't care. He will just take 1 hour from me and I can be happy again. Nobody can't take the happiness from me. Well, maybe the next meeting would be worse, let's face it another time. I will enjoy the exotic beach. Eat seefood, drink coconut. Yeah, I just can't wait. Although...

Ok, this is just a follow up story from my previous post. So, today, Rob got the answer from his DoS which had been told by the manager, that he couldn't get leave that she (the manager) ALREADY approved it weeks ago herself. And if Rob will make that day off, he won't get the flight bonus. Freaky! So, as a result, Rob will miss the gorgeous view of sun rises in Parai Beach (Bangka) as...

I just got text from Rob that he maybe will not join our journey next week to Bangka because the office just tell him that the leaves that he has left is not enough. It was so weird. They already approve it like 3 months ago, now they wanted to cancel it in 1 week. Unfortunately, it's unrefundable flight as the price is a promotional flight by the best airline in Indonesia. That company is...

Still with the same boy. Well i must say, yesterday's class with him was better than the previous one. Sorry, I can't talk further than this because it makes me feel sick now. And the worse thing, i will be teaching him again in three hours. My bf told me that I should make behavior chart for him, but I don't think I want to do that now, because all I want is to do...

To be honest, I am feeling a little bit afraid now about the student that I will handle tomorrow. Last meeting, he acted crazily around the room. Threw number blocks from the table and wouldn't stop when I asked him to. After that, he threw his pencil (which is belong to us) to the ceiling. I told him, he may not did that, because if the pencil hit someone's head, that would be hurt. And...

This is a real warning. I'm not joking. Still remember the call th about I thought it was an interview? That I thought happen so soon? Well, I told you, the interviewer is not a real employer. I was so tired tonight and fell asleep on the floor, while Rob was taking care of his computer (installing Windows 7). Then suddenly, Rob woke me up and said: "He is calling you now." I was so...
