My Experiences of Being an LO

My Experiences of Being an LO

Being an LO (liaison officer) of 26^th Sea Games become a wonderful thing to me. I was really happy I could participate in this great event. There’re many experiences when I became an LO. By becoming an LO, I could directly met people from another country and I learned many things from that.

In sea games, I became LO for Shooting Range. At the first time, I became LO for committee. They were from PERBAKIN (Shooting Community) Jakarta. But, there was new announcement said there were nothing LO for committee because they were still from Indonesia and they were the committee, they should handle us. So, I was an LO for Laos. They were 5 people from LAOS. There were 3 men and 2 women. I just remembered the women, they were Khongkam and Khamla. They were really kind person. But, they couldn’t speak English. So, when we want to communicate with them, we use gesture. When we wanted to asked them to eat, we practiced like we eat something then they understood what we meant. It was hard for me to do gesture all the time. I even try as I could to make them understood with what I meant but sometimes they still didn’t understand. For example, I ever asked what perfume that she used because I like her smell, I just want to know. Then I showed my perfumed intended to make her to show hers, but she tried to smell mine. She thought I wanted to show only, but I said “This is mine (point at me), where’s yours (point at her)”, she still didn’t get what I meant. But, one of them can speak English a little, not much. So mostly I spoke with her.

I want to see it again. I want to feel it. I need it. That’s because I hate to see my face at this time. The only reason is I hate the acnes on my face!!! I do really really really really really really really really and very very very very very very very very hate this!!!!!!!

I don’t really know exactly why it can be in my face. As I remembered, it started when I graduated from Senior High School. Started from like only three or four little acnes that really bothered me. I hate when I see them, so there’s many thing that I’ve tried to make it away from my beautiful face. Starts from something nature like aloe vera (spread the mucus on my face), sticky rice (pound and spread to my face), honey, carrot, star fruit, etc. until something like in advertisement, such as *lay, P*nds, p*nds flawless flight, etc. I think what I’ve tried to hide it not really make it hide, instead they were became more. Because what I had done has no result, I thought I had to go to doctor to check it.

The Role of Literature in ELT

Literature generally comes to identify a collection of texts. Most generally, a literature is equated with a collection of stories, poems, and plays that revolve around a particular topic. Literature has been generally used in English Language Teaching (ELT) classroom for the development of knowledge about language. In ELT, using literature has four advantages, to facilitate intelligence and sensibility training, to stimulate students’ creative and literary imagination, to improve students’ general cultural awareness, and to enhance the psycholinguistic aspect of language learning.

First advantage of literature in ELT is to facilitate intelligence and sensibility training. Through literature, students give the possibility to speak about science, even if they don’t work in this domain, or they can express their opinion about a political aspect, just because they have read something connected to that. Another opinion, Parkinson and Thomas (2000: 9-11)

Appreciation Towards The Story “God Sees the Truth, But Waits” by Leo Tolstoy

In my view, this story is really amazing. Sad story actually. But it is great. You should read it. I also put the appreciation at the bottom. Enjoy...

Story:

In the town of Vladimir lived a young merchant named Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov. He had two shops and a house of his own.

Aksionov was a handsome, fair-haired, curly-headed fellow, full of fun, and very fond of singing. When quite a young man he had been given to drink, and was riotous when he had had too much; but after he married he gave up drinking, except now and then.

One summer Aksionov was going to the Nizhny Fair, and as he bade good-bye to his family, his wife said to him, "Ivan Dmitrich, do not start to-day; I have had a bad dream about you."

Aksionov laughed, and said, "You are afraid that when I get to the fair I shall go on a spree."

Belisario Choir VS BEM

It’s like kind a rival, but actually it is not. Both of Belisario Choir and BEM are two organization that I’ve ever join. I say it “versus” because this organization is really different each other. The people inside are also different, from the way wearing a cloth, the styles, and the behavior. I am, me, myself, in this situation is placed in the middle, I am going to explain more about this.

The first is Belisario Choir. This is a choir in Sriwijaya University. The members of this can be from any faculty of Sriwijaya University, not only regular program (Indralaya campus) but also non regular program (Bukit campus). To become a member of Belisario Choir, it must do audition first. The audition is the process of selection including knowing the knowledge of music, voice, and musical not before become the members. In my period before I join Belisario Choir, there are about 200 students of Sriwijaya University have audition. Then, from the 200 students, only 40 students who become the members, others were failed. Thank God, I am in the 40 students who become member. I join this since 2008 until now.

10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade

The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Presentation, Presentation, and Presentation

Every new semester we always have different courses which must be taken. Usually we have different lecturers who teach us in every semester. When I looked at the list of what lesson and who will teach us, I really felt surprise. Oh my God! Professor Chuzaimah Dahlan diem, MLS., Ed.D. would teach me again. Actually she ever taught me before when I was in first semester. I knew she is kind, friendly, and best professor I’ve ever met. But, sometimes I felt afraid when she taught me. She wanted us to do the best for English, that’s a perfect purpose. But when I can’t do the best in her class, that what makes me afraid to meet her again. Besides her, I also saw name Sheila Noveta who would also teach us. It seems like I ever hear that name before, yeah… I knew that name when Prof. Chuzaimah asked us to copy a poem of English in a cassette when we had pronunciation class in the first semester. But, I didn’t know how she looks like, is she kind person or not, at that time. Then, both of them would teach us for Teaching and Learning Strategies. Before I learnt about this class, I really didn’t know what we would learn in this class. So I asked with my senior class to get more information about this subject to have more preparation before I join this class.

Trouble is a Friend

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

Like a Song

Chorus:
I can't forget you when you're gone.
You're like a song
That goes around in my head.
And how I regret
It's been so long.
Oh, what went wrong?
Could it be something I said?
Time, make it go faster,
Or just rewind
To back when im wrapped in your arms

Ahoooh

Anywhere For You ::. by backstreet boys

I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to

I'd walk halfway around the world
For just one kiss from you
Far beyond the call of love
The sun, the stars, the moon
As long as your love's there to lead me
I won't lose my way believe me
Even through the darkest night you know

All-4-One - I Swear lyrics

I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
and I swear like the shadow that's by your side

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
Cause I stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart

And I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

Queen - Love of My Life lyrics

Love of my life,
You hurt me,
You broken my heart,
Now you leave me

Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me

Love of my life don't leave me,
You've stolen my love you now desert me,

Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me

Beautiful Girl ::. By Jose Mari Chan

Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again.
You said "hello" and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again.

Refrain : It was destiny's game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone.

Whenever you are, I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I've loved again after a long, long while
I've loved again.

*Repeat Refrain

Beautiful girl, I'll search on for you
'Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You've made me love again after a long, long while
In love again
And I'm glad that it's you
Hmm, beautiful girl

Love Story ::. by Andy Williams

Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
with very special things
With angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go
I'm never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand. It's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
