A lesson from a train Ticket

I get a big lesson today. A lesson about my deepest heart. It humiliates me but as far as everyone can take any lessons from it..so let it be.

I had conference today and before the day, I have booked train tickets go to Senate House (it is a part of University of London). After conference ( as I planned), I will straight a way go home but my classmate took me out for dinner. Well, I couldn't refuse it because my stomach had been singing after a few hours sitting in the conference, so yeah..I went with her.

The restaurant was big, clean and tidy. As I never taste any english breakfast, so I tempted to order a full english breakfast ( even it was evening hahaha). I asked a waitress if the restaurant could provide english breakfast in the evening, the waitress just smiled and said yes, indeed.

On the other hand, my classmate ordered sandwich with mozzarella cheese and one big corn soup.

It was a really great dinner. We shared so many gossips hahaha and personal things in life. We did not realise that I missed my train.

Actually, I missed my train just two minutes but it missed indeed. I asked a member of staff what should I did and he said I had to buy the new one. I was totally tired and felt upset about my fault. Feeling more upset, I asked another staff ( later I knew his name Gallat) if I could wait another train without buying a new one and he said it was ok. He advised me to wait until the next train came. But, when I were waiting, my heart was full of worried. I was afraid if someone asked my ticket but in other side my heart said it was ok because I was late just two minutes.

"Oh, it is not good. I am exhausted. "And the fact is if no one asked my ticket I was still a lying person because of travelling without a valid train ticket. I had to consider to my God's willing. So, I went and bought the new one for £ 16.

I thought the conversation in my heart would stop but it continued more loudly. One side said if a member of staff came so I had to give a former ticket to test if an un valid ticket was still valid as long as I had got in to the train and I did. I prepared my former ticket and looked forward a member of staff came.

One hour and until my last stop nothing happened. I felt up set again because I wasted money for buying a new ticket. My £ 16 has gone and then another side of my heart said," You didn't respect God as much as you said." At the time, I realised I bought the ticket not because I was fear of God but I was fear of human.

That is my story for today. Our lesson today is be careful what your heart said. Sometime it doesn't come from God but it comes from your hidden thought.

Trying to be honest. Be real fellas

 Aku melompat-lompat dalam bicara. Kukeluarkan semuanya. Kukatakan semauku jelas. Prinsip jujur memang menakutkan. Kejujuran itu langka kawan. Temannya bernama pengorbanan. Aku menaruh hormat kepada diriku dengan meletakkan kejujuran diatas segalanya. Aku bisa kehilangan karena aku jujur. Aku bisa diturunkan karena aku jujur. Direndahkan, dipandang aneh, tak disukai adalah akibat lain kejujuran. Tapi jujur juga manis dan menenangkan. Kejujuran membuat beberapa hal jadi lebih mudah buat dijalankan.  Jadi kukatakan kepada anak didikku kalau mereka harus jujur. Kejujuran adalah hal pertama yang kukedepankan. Tidak mengapa menjadi bodoh dan tak tahu apa-apa karena bodoh itu temporary. Tidak selamanya yang bodoh seterusnya  bodoh kalau dia mau belajar. Tapi kejujuran itu karakter. Perlu kerja keras untuk  mengubahya. Ratusan buku pun tidak akan mengubahmu.  Aku sangat menyayangkan kalau mahasiswa melakukan salin tempel dalam tugas kampus. Kalau tugas sederhana saja p...

Bimbel Starla

Aku buka bimbingan belajar semester ini. Iyah! Buka les kecil-kecilan buat anak PAUD, TK dan SD kelas 1- 6.  Setelah tertunda setahun lamanya, aku memutuskannya untuk mulai. Dan suami entah gimana ceritanya diam saja dan malah ikut buatin iklan bimbelku pakai Canva. Aku happy karena berarti izin sudah turun 😉 Ini bentukannya... Double happy malah karena yang daftar lumayan rame. Ada 4 siswa yang daftar hahaha. Yah ramelah untuk ukuran yang iklannya hanya kuposting di status wa pribadi saja. Malah ada yang ngomong begini, " Kenapalah baru buka sekarang"  Ini bukan pertanyaan ya melainkan pernyataan karena memang sudah lama ditunggu tapi ga pernah diujudkan, Ditunggu karena memang aku sebakat itu ngajar hahahaa... Itu kata mereka ya. Jadi izinkanlah aku mengucapkan syukur kepada Tuhanku karena sekali lagi,  Dia membuat jalanku terbuka menjadi berkat bagi banyak orang.. Wish me luck fellas 😉

Angkat wajahmu nak!

Pulang sekolah anakku cerita ttg guru yang mengejeknya depan kelas. Aku yang mendengar ngumpat dalam hati karena guru yang itu lagi yang melakukannya. Bukan sekali ini saja guru ybs melakukannya.  Dia juga kerap melakukannya terhadap siswa lainnya, Dan tiap kali anakku cerita, tahun ajaran berikutnya siswa tersebut pasti pindah sekolah.  Awal dulu masih saja kubilang guru tersebut mungkin punya masalah di rumah dan mungkin juga karena mereka (siswa-siswa tsb) memang keterlaluan ributnya " Namanya manusia nak. Mungkin gurumu lelah."  Tapi karena sudah berulang kali dan bertahun, akhirnya aku berkesimpulan memang itulah karakter si guru. Jadi alih-alih menghubungi si guru karena sudah merendahkan anakku secara sepihak, maka aku berusaha menguatkan hatinya.  "Kau marah?" "Iya Mak." "Kau sedih juga?" "Iya Mak." "Lebih banyak marah atau sedihnya?" "Sedih saja Mak." Lantas kubilang hanya satu cara membalasnya yakni dengan ...
