RPP Bahasa Inggris SMA

Hellooo educators..

If you are looking for lesson plan for teaching students particularly in SMA, I would help you by giving some examples that you can adapt in your classroom later on.

By the way, those RPP were written when I was doing research for my paper in undergraduate study.
The method used is REACT (Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring) which is derived from its umbrella Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). The grand theme that covers all materials is "Being Independent".

Here are the files you can download for free.

#BlogWalking: Fabulous Imagination

New Year is so close..still can't find the best place to celebrate it. Anyway, I found very cute images from tumblr (sharkshirt.tumblr.com).

Originally, these following pictures are taken by a woman who works as computer specialist in Helsinki, Finland. While her daughter is soundly asleep, she creates a completely different world from whatever she can find around her. That's how both of them became really famous.

Hearing the Sunshine

Have you heard a short film namely Hearing the Sunshine?

I'd like to share a bit about this movie. Hearing the Sunshine is a new short film launched by Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). It was premiered in the middle of this year. The film is produced to attract foreign tourists to discover Thailand.

The plot centers around two people who travel to Thailand. The man is a sound artist. He interprets the world around him through hearing. His faith tells that recordings can keep the moments. Meanwhile, the woman whose name is lately known as Ryoko, is a photographer. She captures amazing moments through lenses. They travel separately and meet by accident.

Every time I see the movie I keep smiling because the story between them is sooo sweet. Thailand gives a new unique way in unfolding the myriad experiences tourist can get in this tropical land. Through this film, this country also offer more emotional and personal way in attracting foreign visitors.

Hope Indonesia will have this kind of unique way that accentuates emotional appeal in promoting tourism.

The film is broadcasted online for worldwide. Check the teaser out!

The most favorite quote from the movie Hearing the Sunshine:
"Maybe happiness does not mean that you must arrive at the destination. It could also be the little details along the way."

Rendezvous @ The Rit's Ice Cream

My last Saturday night was wonderfully exciting. Finally I could meet up my partners in crime - Nda, Uwi, Bung Es - but minus Icih and Boyu. Well, The Rit's Ice Cream was the nicest place where we could share stories, laughter and lives. When you are about to this place, keep an eye on the little inconspicuous board of Rit's Ice Cream as you might get passed the place. It's located after Taman Ice Cream if you drive from Setiabudi street.

This homy, convenient enclave looks so warm with dim light coming out from inside. We chose to have a seat upstairs to look out the backdrop of street across this place. The interior is classic and simple with wooden chairs. I think this place would be perfect as a hiding area for those who try to get solitary and lonesome times. The nuances are slightly quiet because people rarely notice this place.

I ordered a chicken cordon bleu and fraporeo. The price is reasonable for me. Chicken Cordon Bleu costs IDR 32,000 and fraporeo costs IDR 22,000. When the order came out, I couldn't wait to eat that. It's prime chicken breast fillet filled with melting cheese. Sooo yummy! And the fraporeo..oooh you will never be disappointed with the taste. Fabulous!

Chicken Cordon Bleu and Fraporeo: Perfect combination!

One more dishes I'd like to recommend you guys: Creme Soup. It fits to eat in a rainy dusk while you watch the cars on the other side of this house. It surely can warm up your day!

After I ate the food, I planned to order a scoop of ice cream as a dessert, unfortunately I had a problem with my nose and the weather was so cold so maybe later on I'll be back to this sweet place and order the home-made ice creams. Friend of mine said Rit's Ice Cream has a flawless ice cream you must try! Ok I am going to be here very soon.

By the way, thank you for the unbelievably great night. Looking forward to seeing you, my partners in crime! Miss you :*

Enjoying 'Me Time'

Don’t stay at home. Go get life!

Well, lately I spent most of the time on works and campus thingy. I didn’t have a ‘quality me time’. Then, a little voice inside my head stroke and told, “You should go a world away to get a frolic!” 

So when I heard my dad would go to Jakarta. I decided straightly that I’d go with him. Actually, Jakarta is not the best place to go. Polluted air, noises of vehicles...what could be worse? Anyhow I just want to get outta home for a moment to refresh mind. And who knows I will find something in my so-not-great-escape.

Quoting what the editor of The Journeys: Kisah Perjalanan Para Pencerita says. An interesting thing when travelling is finding something. Even though in the end you get nothing, it’s still called 'finding'. No?

Going to the malls is the only choice you had when you are in a metropolitan city. Thus, I went wandering to Bintaro Plaza by myself. After walking round the shopping stalls and stores, I stopped by at a book store. And something happens. A little girl (forgot to ask her name) came to me and begged secretly if I could give her money. She wanted to buy a uniform and shoes. I asked her where she studied and what her parents did. I found her story somewhat touching so I thought it would be better if I gave her a few bucks. Wish I could help more.

J.Co donuts was my next stop. A dozen of baby donuts and big cup of iced cappuccino officially became my loyal partner that afternoon. I kept drinking and counted the people that pass by to kill the time. Finally, I got my 'quality-me-time'! without any interruption from anyone.

(Ngalor ngidul ya tulisannya? suka-suka sayah ah. :p)

Perfect companions in my secluded afternoon.

Bittersweet October

Oh cold, wet, gloomy October almost comes to the end! And I’ve made such a hiatus on this blog. You know, been busy like hell and breathless as my post-graduate study assignments and teaching schedules were completely intertwined. Whoa, it’s squeezing and bunching me tightly.    

I want to relieve fatigue and get some refreshments. I really miss going to the movies, hanging out with friends of mine, and making lots of giggles with them.

All I did through this whole October was teaching then going to campus. The worst and most annoying thingy were on weekend I should finish my on-campus assignments! Well, I just got tired and need a pause.

I keep searching the red dates on the calendar though I knew there won’t be. The Eid Adha will fall on Sunday and Christmas will also hit Sunday. Damn it!

Anyways..my October wish is that I can take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. That’s it.

Le Marly Pantry

After having fun in Braga Festival couple of days ago, I looked for a cozy place to dine. Icih gave an insight of some homy restaurants like Le Marly and Vanilla. Le Marly takes place on Jalan Citarum No. 10 Bandung and Vanilla's located on Jalan Cimanuk Bandung.

As a final decision, we agreed to have a late lunch at Le Marly Pantry, a western restaurant.

Le Marly Kitchen has a distinguished interior. We could see the chefs cooking while waiting the orders. It’s a new experience for me. Furthermore, one of the spots is designed with stacked wine bottles and the other area is well-constructed like a kitchen, full of kitchen appliances.

I ordered 1 plate of Picenza. Picenza is Italian pasta with soft minced onion and chicken. It tastes very fresh since it is also served with fluttered minced lemon leaves. It’s extremely delicious. As a beverage, I prefer to order one big glass of hazy hazelnut. It looked very tempting. It is cappuccino with minced hazelnut and whipped cream. Ah you can’t retain that temptation.

Icih ordered chocolate waffles and young mango. Both looked so mouth-watering. Yummy!

Another cool fact about Le Marly is the beverages menu written on the bottle wine. If you come to this place, try the mojitos. It's a mainstay and must-tried drink.

Albeit Le Marly Pantry looks opulent, but all the foods and beverages are not too pricey. To sum up, Le Marly is strongly recommended to all of you who seek fine western dishes, particularly Italian. Just come and enjoy the atmosphere.

From now on, both of us promise to be epicures and will wander up to every food spot in Bandung at least every 2 weeks. Should prepare money then! :D Can't wait for the next culinary adventures. See you.
