Ennui

I'm having a training of teaching the preschoolers for several weeks today. The class was started at 9 am to 4 pm. Within 7 hours of training, I could enjoy snack time for three times each day. The first and the third snack time took 15 minutes only and the second one took an hour long.

During snack time, I usually munched biscuits and fries, sipped a cup of tea, while continuing to discuss the prior subjects. Whenever I encountered nothing to do, then I would marinate myself into a certain book that I brought from home, as simple as ABC.

It wasn't that hard digesting all the materials given by the trainers. What I noticed from the whole activities was that I positively got bored very often. I know it absolutely is OK to feel this way. Somehow, the mundane thingy and I didn't get along. We couldn't proceed as good friends.

Acknowledging the lack of enthusiasm might seem troublesome and it's a yes from me. I remained figuring out the best way to have it warded off. I thought it was manageable at first but I was totally wrong. The harder I attempted to huff and puff the feeling, the harder I crashed to the ground in agony.

What I want to tell is, I'm on a roller coaster and about to reach the highest point. I have no idea when will it cease to shadow me. At least by having a solid 8 hours of sleeping, drinking water as much as my body wants, eating good food, and stay productive in reading and writing, will help me to replenish the energy. If one day it doesn't work, I guess it will be OK to just let it be. If ever i ignore the value for what's going on, let's dog-earing the page of 'setting the goal and never look back.'

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

Let's Take Care of Ourselves

I found out I enjoy munching sweet snacks. I wasn't a big fan of it, but lately each time I tasted cookies, banana fritters, or other Indonesia sweet snacks, mouthwatering was the first impression my brain translated. Until I tried to neutralize one with sugar free tea, it helped me not to feel guilty a lot. It was a bit uneasy to control the intake since the works sometimes overwhelmed me. My number one assignment now is not to avoid the stress, but to regulate the stress. It's been a long time I didn't have respiratory system problems since the COVID era, now it seemed to keep coming regularly especially when I ate spicy food. It would provoke the shortness of breath and sore throat that led to asthma. Even when I had to rest at night, I didn't sleep tight. I tried to consume more of protein from red meat in particular, it still seemed hard to maintain the health nowadays. Only Allah would take care of me after I attempted my utmost to take a good care of myself. Insy...
