Stepping on Number 30 and the Surprises

There’s no special feeling on 22^nd of November this year except I had to be ready with requests for treat. So, on 23^rd of November I woke up lazily as usual. No excitement at all or any smile on my face. As a matter of fact, it was rather melancholic feelings which approached me. I felt like wanting to burst into tears. The color pink I chose to help me fix my mood. Yet, it didn’t help much.

Actually I have already got the clue that the kids were going to give me some surprises on the 23^rd of November. To respect their sincere intention, I tried to play along with their tricks.

The first trick was the chaos and fighting trick. My class, XA, was in chaos. Generally, if it’s not a hoax, I would get really angry or afraid then ran away and burst into tears in fright. But luckily, I had already known that it was all tricks to celebrate my birthday, so I smiled and did some stupid things. I guess, they knew that I had read their tricks, so they brought the chocolate cake for me. Another blowing candles and making wishes, well I don’t mind. And not to forget the smearing cream on my face, just say cheese! Another surprise was some gifts from them. There’re a puppy doll, book, clock along with the photo frames and scarf.

The commotion didn’t stop there. The kids from XC surprised me again (which I had already known too ^^). Another cake, smearing cream, and blowing candles, I had to deal with all those things again. I love it. This time is even more special since two kids celebrated their birthday with me, Ali and Arum.

The most touchy part was when they wished for my happiness and may I always look beautiful (they actually said that honestly ^^) and will finally be married soon (they know my wish) and have kids soon (another wish of mind ^^). I love to see their smiling faces and sincere feelings in celebrating my 30^th birthday, another special birthday for me.

Last night Oppa made a phone call using his cell phone (he rarely uses his cell phone to call me) wishing happy birthday.

They are some kids whose class I don’t teach anymore, wishing happy birthday to me. I got some birthday wish from the alumnae. Hehehe they still remember their weird and wacko teacher. ^___^ love you all and thank you.

For me this 30^th is somewhat different. Well, finally in my almost 30^th I did something big, at least for me. The Talk show Tetralogi Laskar Pelangi, is my first Job and achievement. It is something that I can feel proud of.

Finally, happy 30 and keep on fighting for your dreams, Sansan!

프라이팬 놀이/Frying Pan Game/BTS

Playing Frying Pan Game/BTS We played a new game called Frying pan game (프라이팬 놀이) with our Korean guests in our Korean Class. It was fun. It’s like catching the mouse game. We learn the Korean numbers in the same time. Say, if your friend mentions your name and the number, you have to mention your name according to the number he/she mentions previously. For example, if your friend says "Dana dul (2)", so you have to say your name twice, "Dana...Dana" and so on and so on. If you make a mistake, well, you get the punishment. The type of the punishment depends on the agreement of the players. They are many types, trust me. Just choose one. This game was played on one of the TV programs in Korea hosted by Kang Ho Dong (강 호 동), Hye Ryong said. 재미 있네요. 우리 애들이 놀이를 좋아해요. But hey! BTS too played this game on one of their TV shows. You can check out the video here So far, we have learned many Korean games. Mostly we got...

Yutnori

Yutnori Apa itu Yutnori ? Hmmm... pernah dengar yutnori (dibaca: yunnori)? kata ini bukan berasal dari bahasa Jawa tapi bahasa Korea. Yutnori adalah nama salah satu permainan tradisional Korea. Permainan ini biasa dimainkan secara beregu ketika acara tahun baru Korea yang disebut juga 설날 (sollal) . Tahun baru biasanya menjadi ajang kumpul seluruh anggota keluarga. Selain makan Tteokguk , mereka biasanya memainkan Yutnori . Ini penampakan Yutnori , ada papan permainan dan dadunya. Yang unik, dadunya tidak bentuk kotak seperti kebanyakan dadu pada umumnya tapi berbentuk batangan. Hal lain yang membedakan dadu yutnori dari dadu pada umumnya adalah tidak ada bentuk titik-titik yang melambangkan angka. Yang ada itu tulisan 도 (Do), 개 (Gae), 걸 (Gul), dan 윷 (Mo) . Eh, permainan ini pernah muncul disalah satu drama Korea yang dulu nge-hits banget dulu, Princess Hours. Kalau tidak salah di ep...
