One of my friends asked me :
She : eka, why in your blog typing in English language?
Me : because I want to improve my English
She : which English version are you using ?
Me : pardon ? you meant English-British or English-American ?
She : yes
Me : I’m using English-British.
She : why?
Me : because I like to used it. (smile to her).
Me : you know why ? (asked her)
She : No, can you explain it to me please.
Me : because, I wish I could go there (read : England). I wish may be someday me and my family will go there. (it’s my dream, hopes come true sometimes). For me, England is a historical country.
She : that’s why you always ask your team work about England and talk to them all about England, isn’t it?
Me : thank you for your consideration of me about this. You know, they (read : most of my team work is England) always teach me and correct my language. When I said something to them - if I made a mistake or I said something silly to them, would you please correct my English and you know? They do it for me. Those guys are very good. Once I find a new word and I don’t know what it means and how to spell it , I ask them and they’re very happy to explain to me.
She : I see.
Me : Yes
She : how about your Mandarin?
Me : My mandarin?
Me : mandarin still has a class. I practice it to one of my friend in this project and with my husband sometimes.
Me : how about your English Class?
She : not bad.
Me : what do you meant not bad?
She : yeah
Me : By the way, where are you yesterday ?
She : I’m sick.
She : And you? Why you not in the office for 3 days?
Me : I’m sick too. Infection in my throat. I have a sore throat. Very bad. Can not eat and drink as well and I’ve a high fever.
She : So how do you feel today ?
Me : Be better than yesterday.
She : how about your family?
Me : mmm
She : ok?
Me : it’s ok.
She : how about you vacation plan for this year ?
Me : no plan, stay in Batam until Christmas eve may be go to Singapore or K.Lumpur for a couple days bring my kids play in Genting Island or see my auntie in Singapore.
And you ?
She : Back to Jakarta. For Hari Lebaran. I’ve pass my request form travel to our secretary for supervisor approval. Last Lebaran I do not back home, this year I will do. I’ve promised to my kids to see my mom and dad in Bogor.
Me : ok, see you later, bye now.
She : thanks eka, nice talk to you, see you later too.
Some of my friend (read : my team in project) already fill in they vacation plan in vacation plan form. My family will be staying in Batam no plan for this year.
I just start work on 6 Oct, after get MC from my doctor in our clinic. I’ve sore throat. Very Bad.
And last week Batam is always enveloped in fog , exactly smoke. Very bad. Smoke comes from neighboring island is Sumatera island. Forest burned. Why people can do that ?
Approx one week Batam Island enveloped in smoke. It’s no good for health. Bad vision. Based on Batam Pos (read: Batam Newspaper) yesterday the mayor announce to be careful and used masker if do activity in out door. And be aware for kids playing in out door. Please minimize activity in out door if it’s not very important.
Until now smoke still in the sky. But today looks be better than yesterday. I can saw birds flying, wind is blowing and Mr. Sun smiley. Tk’s GOD.
On my way to back home I saw little children sold newspaper and turn back my head the other kids sleeping beauty on the road, oh my GOD. I get chocked up what I saw, I was filling out. I am very sentimental. For me it’s easy and safe to get emotional over fictional characters and events. I also felt the need to weep. I’m just a softie when it comes to those things. I just remember about my kids, my beloved. Sleep in good room covering warm blanket. Oh, Thank you GOD for what I’ve being a part.
Be humble and you will not stumble. For me weeping seemed the only appropriate response if I saw a contrast around me. (Read: No women no cry, ha ha... it’s me)
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love” (Eph. 4:2 NIV) True compassion is love action.
Bill Crowder said: As we see condition of the fallen world and the lostness of the people who surround us, let’s ask God to give us a heart that mirrors the heart of Christ- a heart that weeps with Him for a lost world and then reaches out to them in love.

You will be able to improve your English a lot by knowing the basic building block of English sentence. That is Subject + Verbs + Object.
example:
Eka, Why do you type your blog in English?
Keep up the good work though
