How was your April in 2013? Mine was great :)) and...... It's May already :) By the way, the weather is fine in Yogyakarta, not too shabby, but not too clear either.
Like
I told you before in my post titled 'Become a Japanese Language Tutor'. Aside from
being a Japanese tutor at LBJ or Hotel, I also being Indonesian Language Tutor for
foreign students at INCULS (Indonesian Language and Culture Learning Service) Faculty of Cultural Science. Not only Indonesian language but they learn
Indonesian cultures and arts too. I would like to tell you about one of our
activities, when 30 students from Konan Women University, Japan came to
Yogyakarta. They were doing some activities while home staying in Yogyakarta. The
activities were mostly held within INCULS. By that time I had the opportunity
to teach Pendet Dance, which is one of traditional Bali dances. They were so
excited to learn the dance. Because there were so many of them, I asked my
friends who were although not INCULS tutor but have proficiency regarding
Pendet. They are Novi, Keke and Dewayu. How kindly of them to willing to lend me
some hands. Thanks, guys ((:
The
next day I accompany them for Indonesian language class. There was professor on
duty and I’m just being a facilitator. Here we were establishing some kind of
mutual relationship. They learnt Indonesian language while I learnt Japanese
language. After the class end, we went together for lunch and then played
Javanese traditional game, Cublak-Cublak
Suweng. They were addicted to the game.
At
the farewell party, before they went home to Japan, me and my friends showed them
the Pendet dance. We were feeling like some big artist, because they were
asking a lot of photograph of ours. But, I think it’s because we were wearing
some traditional clothes. Even though, I look so chubby, but that won’t stop me
from showing the picture to all of you. >.<
I
was chosen as Bali dance instructor at INCULS. I’m glad that I was given the
chance to do that. I know it will give me experiences and another chance to
remember my childhood. I’m so happy to be able to work with people from INCULS,
because they are kind and friendly. The most important thing is not the fee. It’s
the chance to meet plenty of wonderful persons. :))
By
the way, only as an additional, my first Pendet performance in Yogyakarta is on
a great show called Dharma Santhi from KMHD UGM. It was so amazing…..
Okay,
don’t hesitate to leave critics and comments, I don’t mind ^^ If there’s
something you don’t agree with, feel free to let me know (: Have a great May,
readers !!
