First Ride, First Trip

-
Every journey has a great beginning and a painful ending.

Mabuhay!

I’m Khryss Anne Joyce G. Ungria from Pampanga State Agricultural University, Magalang, Pampanga, Philippines. I am one of the participant of SEA-Teacher Batch 7 at Lambung Mangkurat University. First, I will tell you my journey on my way to Banjarmasin.

@NAIA Terminal 3


Take off.... 
Nervous, excited, scared, and happy? those are just some of the feelings I felt when I’m about to go to Banjarmasin. On the 12th of January 2019, we are about to fly to Jakarta at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 with my schoolmate at PSAU, I found it quite boring when we arrived in the airport because we waited too long as we have our early checked in. But the good thing is, I felt so excited to meet all of the staffs, buddies and my Co- SEA-Teachers who are in the host university.I find it hard to ride into an airplane at the first time, and it is quite exciting to fly high and see the lights at night. 


1:00 a.m. of January 13, 2019, we arrived at Soekarno Hatta International Airport and it really different from Philippines. We have to change our money into Rupiah, I was so shocked to have 1.3 Million Rp because in Philippines that money will means a lot for us. After that, we ride in a taxi named Blue Bird to go to Terminal 1A. We have our layover for 3 hours in the terminal 1A. 
Here I come. :)
Its kind a great experience.. 
Upon waiting in Terminal 1A, I want to buy food but the problem is the vendor are not getting what I’m saying, so I just go back to my seat and let it my hunger eats me. At last! I heard the announcer said “Perhatian, para penumpangpesawat Lion Air dengannomorpenerbangan JT 0320 tujuan Banjarmasin dipersilahkannaikkepesawatudaramelaluipintu A5”. 

 I experienced to ride a bus for us to reach the plane on the way to Syamsuddin Noor Airport. At 7:00 a.m. in the morning we arrived at Banjarmasin Airport, Mr. Edwar

Saputra and Buddy Danny pick us up. On our way to Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, we ate in KFC with them and it was so surprising that they are not using spoon and fork for eating and it was not unlimited gravy but unlimited chili sauce. After eating, we went to our dormitory and it makes me feel happy to meet all the people that we will be with for almost a month.

Life in Teaching @ Pasar Lama 1

Weeks of Teaching Yes, it’s me again… So this is the continuation of my practice teaching in SDN-SN Pasar Lama 1. I just want to tell you the summary of my practice teaching up to the evaluation day. Actually, I made 4 lesson plans and I used them all in teaching days in Pasar Lama 1. And in doing this lesson plan, I learned how to budget my time in teaching, what are the things that I should highlights most and give emphasis to my pupils. The pupils are all participating in our discussion especially when Dr. Fifi (My supervisor from ULM) unexpectedly visits me to observe in class and to know how do I teach. *My Class with my Mentor and Supervisor* So I was totally nervous by that time, I am so blessed because I usually settle everything before going to school. The day that Dr. Fifi observed me was 1st of February. As I said, my pupils are all active to participate with our discussion which is Adding Fraction. But I had the trouble of executing my lessons when it comes to co...

Banjarmasin *Map @ the Museum* When we reach Banjarmasin and we are still in the plane. I saw the top view of Banjarmasin, then I was wondering why this place is similar to our place in Philippines and it seems like there’s a lot of water forms. And I was right about what I thought because Banjarmasin is known to be “A City of a Thousand Rivers or River City”.  Bandjermasin or  Bandjarmasin, Chinese: pinyin  is the capital of South Kalimantan, Indonesia.  It is the biggest and the densest city in Kalimantan. This city is one of the biggest cities in Indonesia and outside of Java Island. The wid th of this city is around 72 km 2  which the area is divided into delta or islands that are consisted of 25 island—Tatas Island, Kelayan, Rantauan Keliling Island, Insane Island, atc. Pointed out of the BPS data of Banjarmsin in 2015, Banjarmasin has estimated population around 722,3 57 with density around 7,300/km 2  (19,000/sq mi). Banjarese language ...

Practice Teaching So guysss???? this is it!!!! This is the time that I really felt very nervous, weak and very tensioned. * Day of teaching Gymnastic.*  I had my first actual teaching last 30th of January, 2019 and that was Wednesday Morning. I was so nervous when I’m about to speak because there’s a big burden in me the big possibility that my students will not really understand me because I’m speaking English not Bahasa but I tried to learn a little Bahasa like duduk (sit down) and Bagus (Very good). *Discussing my Tematik Subject*  Before we talk about what happen in my teaching, I want to share what I did in my lesson plan. I used the lesson plan we are using in Philippines because the headmaster asked as to do the lesson plan that we are comfortable to do with. My first lesson plan is about the sub-team science and it is all about weather, season and climate. I used my laptop in creating my lesson plan and print it. I used explicit method in doing my less...
