Improving my Listening Skill

From one of my discussion with my former boss, I discovered that I was not good in listening. I tend to be impatient and interrupt what other people tried to tell me. More than that, I told them what was true than listenting of what they thought.

This habbit is not good that made me learn a litle from others. I realized this bad habbit for a while but it is not that easy to stop it. This week I decided to do something to stop this habbit. I can start from changing asking questions to other people opinion without having to tell them what my opinion is. 

Some of them went good, but some of them not. But at least I'm making a progress. I still can't make this week clean from judging others, but I can change my style of response a litle bit.
Need more to improve, but I'm not giving up yet.

New Appartment

It's been a while I didn't update this blog. It was not the beautiful Ramadhan that had hold me to do that. I was jut forgot that I had an English blog to update. Besides, I didn't update my Indonesian blog that much either.

I'm now writing this blog on my new appartment. Not really new, I've been staying here for a week or a litle bit more. There were several jobs that I had to to make it perfect such as fixing the drain and clean up all the floor since this is a new building.

All the jobs have been completed. Now it's perfect for a good living. What to do next is to fill up this apartment with all necessary furniture and equipment while also waiting for my beautiful wife and my very handsome boy to come.

Time to rest now, and play a game

The Ramadhan

It's been quite a while I didn't update this blog. This blog was intended to provide a place for me to improve my English and also to share my stories in English. However, I didn't have anything to read for a while, not only on this blog but also on the Indonesian version.

It's at the 3rd week of Ramadhan now in my first Ramadhan in Kuwait. The weather was so bad in the beginning of Ramadhan. It was really hot and the temperature was so high (above 50 degree celcius). To me, the high temperature was not that difficult, but the humidity was. 
Now it's much better. The wind is not hot anymore and also not humid. It seems that the rest of Ramadhan can be much easier.

I have just heard a good news a few days ago. But I'm still keeping this news as secret so that I don't write it here yet. However I want to make you curious of what secret I'm hiding. :D

The Conversion

This blog is actually my first blog that I created, even before I had a blog in wordpress. I left this blog unattended since I didn't really like blogger that made me had to allocate my extra time to customize the template while wordpress did all that to me perfectly.

I finally decided to re-active this account and I would like to write my story in English on this blog. The thinking of writing a blog in English actually have been raised a long time ago. However, I guess that the motivation was not strong enough so that I did never start to write in English. Today, for some reasons, I decided to start it no matter how it will be.

As usual, I had a hard time to find out what would be a better URL (address) for the intended blog. I had tried several ideas, but none of them were available. I guess that my idea was too common so that other people had thought to use the address previously. And I could never find any more ideas that would work for me. After wasting several minutes looking for the name, I decided that I should just picked up a name or I would never start writing the blog. I finally just took this address and re-use it to write my English blog.

This blog was written in Indonesian before, you can still see it on the history. I don't want to delete the old content and I like to leave it here as memory. Instead I just write this post to announce the conversion that from now on I will start to use English in this blog.

The Conversion, this is a name that I give to this post, indicated that this blog is converted to English.
