Roselea Virus

Last Thursday, Aira got fever. Her temperature was over 38 celcius. At firs, I was not too worry, since it was not too high. I though it was triggered by her teeth that would appear. Nevertheless, in the next day, Friday, her temperature was higher. It was around 39 celcius. I gave her paracetamol in order to made her temperature normal. However, paracetamol could not work. Four hours after she consumed the drug, her temperature high again until 39 but I could not give her paracetamol again, since the drug could be given at most after 6 hours.

Then, at night I accompanied her to visit a doctor, dr. Reza Rahnu, Sp.A. After examined her, the doctor said "if on Sunday the fever would not recover, she must took complete blood test". And during this three days I have to observed her. If her temperature was high and she was not allowed to consume drug, just cover her with a piece of textile which had been washed with mineral water until her temperature aound 37. Therefore, during the fever, I did the doctor's suggestion.

At saturday night, her temperature was higher than before. It reached 40 point something. I worried with her condition. I had prepared everything   incase she must be hospitalized. I was going to go to the hospital if after comsuming the drug, at 10 p.m., her temperature would not reducing. Fortunaly,  at 3 a.m. her temperature decreased into 38 and in the morning it was normal.

I consulted her condition with my friends, and she suggesed that I did not need to bring aira to take the blood test. This morning, her temperature was normal, however, I found red skin eruption in her body. WHen i consulted it to my friends, she said that it was roselea virus and I did not need to worry about it.   Now, the skin eruption is there, I hope my little daughter will get better soon. Aamiin

Taking the IELTS test

Last Saturday I took the IELTS test. I had studied hard before. Eventhough I did not join the IELTS orientation course, almost everyday when I did not have class I did IELTS practice from cambrige book. I had finished cambridge IELTS practice 1-10. In average my score was 6.5 in the beginning and 7 in the second part. However, I did not know my score for speaking and wriring since I could not mark the result by myself. Beside studied the cambridgeIELTS practice, I studied the ELTS for grammar that I though important.

In the end, the ielts test day came. I had tried hard to prepare it. The last change that i can do was praying. For the listening test, i though i could follow the listening. Only three questions which I did not sure the answer. The same condition also occured in the reading test. In writing test, as I  remember i could write for 150 in the first task and 250 in the second task. However I did not have time to check the vocab also I did not have time to write the summary of the task 2. For the speaking, the one that I tried to remember the grammar and some ideas. Nevertheless, when the speaking come, I did not have time to think. I feel that i speak spontaneusly. Moreover, in the section two of speaking the examiner stopped me while i was speaking. I did not know how the result will be.

That was the review of my ielts test, we will see the result next two weeks. While waiting for the result, I will write the research proposal and finishing my project.

  

IELTS PREPARATION VS GENERAL ENGLISH

Today I did the placement test in one of famous english course place in Surabaya. Why? because I want to take english course before taking the IELTS test. The score is my english level in SP 8 (detail: TOP:7, writing: 7, and speaking 8).

Knowing the score, I continue to register for english course because I want to get score at least 6.5, and english level in SP 8 means the ielts score around 5.5 - 6. Here, I have to choose either IELTS preparation which is cost 3.950.000 or  General English which is cost 3.250.000.

After discussing with friends, I get some conclusion: If you want to improve your english skills you need to take general english course. While if your English is good, and you need to get used to with IELTS test you need to take IELTS preparation. In my situation, my English skills in ordinary and I need to improve my english skills therefore I decided to take general english course. For the IELTS test, I will try to learn it by my self. Only do'a and trying that I con do. And Hoping this coming IELTS test I will get a good score. So this story will be continue.

Notes: thank you very much for my lovely husband who always support me. Not only for the material but also everything. And also thank you very much for my little doughter who always make me lough.  

Langkah 1

Tidak terasa sudah 6 bulan sejak saya memutuskan untuk melanjutkan studi lagi. Dan ternyata selama ini belum banyak yang sudah saya lakukan. Entah karena apa, kesibukan mengajar, memasak, momong anak, dan entah apa lagi.

Dan ternyata selalu sama, semangat untuk mencari S3 itu kembali menggebu ketika mahasiswa sudah pada libur. Semoga untuk kedepannya, semangat ini tetap terjaga. Karena proses mencari PhD itu panjang. Perlu banyak pertimbangan yang harus dilakukan mengingat saya berencana untuk sekolah bersama suami dan anak saya. Mencari PhD itu sulit, keluarnya sulit, tetapi prosesnya sangat berharga.

Ok, untuk satu minggu ini yang harus saya lakukan adalah:
1. Mencari negara, universitas, dan professor dimana saya harus sekolah. Saya tidak tahu harus sekolah kemana, tetapi di dalam hati sebenarnya pengen sekolah ke negara yang bahasa pokoknya adalah bahasa Inggris. Mengingat kemampuan bahasa Inggris saya tidak bagus, makanya pengen memperbaiki dengan sekolah. Adapun cara untuk nyari sekolah yang akan saya lakukan, mungkin bisa mengikuti nasehat disini cara mencari sekolah.

2. Menyiapkan CV. Untuk templatenya sudah ada sebenarnya dari teman yang sekarang sedang sekolah PhD. Namun belum sempat dibuka waktu dirumah. Semoga besok lusa bisa mulai untuk mengerjakan.

3. Research proposal. Sebenarnya belum ada ide. Tapi saat ini sebenarnya saya juga sedang menulis jurnal dari hassil penelitian saya dengan mahasiswa. Semoga bisa membantu.

4. Menyiapkan bahasa Inggris. Ini yang membuatku tidak jadi kuliah ke Eropa atau Australia ketika S2 dulu. Kendala bahasa Inggris. Dulu IELTS ku masih 6. Dan beberapa bulan lalu, setelah ikut les, IELTS ku juga masih 6. Ini rencanya bulan ini mau ikut les lagi. Dengan biaya yang tidak murah. Aku harus merogoh kocek 3.950.000 plus 2.800.000 untuk les plus tes. Mungkin bagi sebagian orang uang segitu kecil. Tapi bagiku, uang segitu sangat besar. Apalagi saat ini harus berfikir untuk mengangsur rumah dll. Tetapi gapapa, untuk kebutuhan yang lainnya puasa dulu. Didulukan kebutuhan ini.

5. Berdoa, ini yang harus selalu saya tingkatkan. Meminta yang terbaik dari Allah.

Mungkin sampai disini dulu, berikutnya semoga bisa menulis lagi....

Starting from Here

Six years ago I got my master degree. As a lecturer, I must continue my study. However there are a lot of reasons that make me postpone my study.

Now those reasons already solved. I want to continue my study with my husband and my daughter are. However there are four main problems that must be solved: foreign language certificate, scholarship, Letter of Acceptance (LoA), and Fund (because I want to study with my family in my side).

Heavy though facing those problems. But with "Bismillah", I am sure Allah will help me and my family.

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim. The adventure is starting from here. Help me Oh Allah. Give me Your guidance. Aamiin

Kalau tidak di sini berarti di sana

Kalau tidak kau gunakan waktumu untuk membaca Alqur'an
Mungkin kau akan gunakan waktumu untuk menonton

Kalau kau tidak menghafal ALquran
Mungkin kau akan menghafal lagu

Kalau kau tidak menghabiskan uangmu untuk infaq dan shadaqah
Mungkin uangmu akan habis untuk belanja dan foya-foya
