The Second Sunday in Pare

It is second Sunday we are in Pare. It’s 26th of June. As usual, after studying for a week we need refresh our mind, stretch our body, so we could lose all of our tiredness.
This week we went to 2 places. We were Romy, Nurul, Hani, Prima, Esti, Bu Lusi, Bu Endang. At first, we left our homestay at 9 o’clock to Selomangleng Cave, for about 30 minutes by car. There was crowded, many people, many seller, etc. Beside Selongmangleng cave, there were many entertainment places, such as show of Dangdut music (with sexy singers, of course we didn’t like it a lot), the small train which we called “kereta kelinci”, clown, children playing park, and swimming pool. But we felt disappointed because the cave wasn’t long, so that we were not satisfied so much.
Romy and hani were interested to rode horses. It’s first time for us, very exciting and we were so happy. Just paid 10,000 rupiahs we maight go around the tour place with horses and guide of course. The others prefer went around by small train and must spent 2,000 rupiahs each others.
We spent our time in there until 12 o’clock. Many things we have done, took picture, wisata kuliner, etc. Then we continued our trip to Simpang Lima Gumul (SLG) for about 20 minutes. There were many people. Some of them just sat on park with their friends, took picture, enjoyed the scenery, etc. to arrived over there we must passed the tunnel under the road for about 500 metres. We were in there just 15 minutes because we didn’t find masjid for praying dhuhur. So we chose to went home at 13.15 pm.
Finally we arrived in our homestay at 13.45, and praying dhuhur directly.
That’s all our weekend activities in second Sunday we are in Pare. May our mind will be fresh, we are in spirit always to learning English in here. Aamin…

Our Daily Activities

Like an artist, we have many program too. Specially English program during we are in Pare.
Every morning we wake up at 4 a.m. We always begin our days with pray, reading the Holy Qur’an & al ma’tsurat. Then we must queue to take a bath, because in our homestay there are just 2 bathroom with 14 people.
Usually we have took a bath, got dress, and prepared at 6 am, we had breakfast as soon as, because first class will be began at 6.30 a.m. we take English course at BEC (Basic English Courses), which the oldest one in Pare.
On one day we get 4 english class. The first class is Grammar class with Mrs Anis at 6.30 until 8.00 a.m. then second class is New Concept Class with Mr Fah until 9.30 a.m. after that we may take a rest for 30 minutes. Usually some of us buy some food and drink, pray dhuha or just chatting to remember about the lesson before. We must be in class room at 10.00 a.m to speaking class with Mrs Sri. We must speak in english during the class, you know?
After we had pray dhuhur and lunch, we have long time to do something. We can spend our time to watching film, watching TV, discussion, doing our assignment, browsing, going to minimarket, or go around Pare by bicycle.
After we do something until 5 o’clock, we take a bath and prepare to pray maghrib and isya. We have dinner as soon as because we must be in class again to join Speaking class with Mr Hadi at 7.30 p.m. Mr Hadi often gives us games on the lesson so that we aren’t bored. For example at first meeting we got game called concentrate game, we must memorize some word with moving hand. Most of us felt difficult to be concentrate. At second meeting we got game called chain words. We must make a word which first character is the last character from the word before. We began with word “stingy” then we continue with word “yellow” etc.
At 21.00 p.m we back to the homestay. Usually we go to sleep directly, or sometimes we remember the lesson, or add vocabularies, or watching film, or other activities before we go to sleep.
In fact, all of our teachers are BEC graduate. Subhanallah…we are always on full spirit to learning English. We are so happy in here.

As long as, we got funny idioms from our teachers. Such as ” I’m in fire” ( saya bersemangat), “my life on the bubble” (aku sedang dalam masalah), “so far so good” (baik-baik aja), etc. you know that in American culture or in western cultures, if we sneeze (bersin), hiccup (cegukan), burp (sendawa), blow nose (membuang ingus) we must say “sorry”. One other important thing, we must remember it about “cut a cheese”, this is idiom too. We may not translate it word by word. Do you know what the meaning?it’s so funny….but it’s secret, hehehe…you can get the meaning from your dictionary, just searching by yourself!

We have arrived to the traditional market 30 minutes later. There are many of cloth store, many of food, many of people. I think there are very crowded. At first we are looking for cloth store because we will buy some clothes. After we go around the market, finally romy gets two long shirt, nurul gets one cloth, and hani…just buy some foods.
After that, we continue our exciting trip. Although we just ride bicycle, it is very interesting. Even we are tire but it’s never mind. We arrive in the town square about 10 minutes later. We are not so long in there, there are many of teenegers, girls and boys.
