My second days in Pattani

May, 21^st 2014

Bismillah…

It is my second trip to Pattani. In my diary, I didn’t write down the clear one, however I will try to write down what kind of my meaningful experience that I do today. So, if anyone would like to know the real of my activity in Thai, especially in Ad-Dirosah Islamic boarding school, it can see in my list of activity in the behind later. Well, I think it is clear enough and let me write down.

Wow…amazing in my mind and my reality. What can make me felt so amazing? Well, I never imagine that my destination is so far with my thought. You know, the first night, all of the students’ from Indonesia stay at Parkview Cottage. It is one of cottage located in Pattani. How beautiful it is. I will show you the picture after this and you can compare with my cottage now. LOL. I can only laugh out loud. So far…so far. In addition, the toilet, the cleanness, and the cottage are wonderful. I still find them, and I don’t know what will happen in the next day. But, I always pray to My Lord, My the Greatness onein order to give me the best service, the good people, the humble family, and also the sweet society in Pattani. In this location, I never think that I will try to stay in a strange country alone. So challenge for me. With my limited either hard or soft skill, I will survive. Sure, I can even though in this place there is no family and friends even BeeBee, but don’t worry. I will try and do it around 4 months. Insyallah…I can. Amin.

Well, today I can keep in touch with Kak. Anisah’s family. We can call Kak.Sah only. She is a housewife, but she is very smart I think. The first time when I met her, I said she is so beautiful, patients, and humble. Then the fact, I think it is quite true, but I still don’t know further. I expect that it is same with my first expectation. Amin. Not only Kak. Anisah, but also I can get in touch with Umi (Anisah’s Mom), Fida ( a little angel of Anisah), her husband (I forgot the name), Kak.Ti and Kak.Cu (teachers in the Ad-Dirosah school), Kak.Suhah (from Pombing Islamic boarding school), and so forth. Alhamd.. I can communicate with them even though I got some difficulty because we have different language to communicate each other. Actually, I wanna speak in English to improve my speaking,. But at first, I still felt that it is gonna be hard because everyone in this place, more understand if we speak in Melayu. LOL. I can not speak Melayu, but always hear and try to imitate little by little. It is my way to make a conversation, but I also try to speak in English with Kak.Ti. I know that she is an English teacher and I will try to communicate with her in English. I hope that it is my way that I find.Amin. thanks so much God.

Ouch…I almost forget about my little terrible trouble in this place. Kak.Anisah and family know that I can not eat rice. I felt so afraid if it can make them so confuse to give me a service. Actually, I can eat anything except rice. That’s all. So, I think don’t make it so hard. Just let it flow and take it easy. Insyllah.. I can survive. Amin. I only pray to God in order to help them to not think highly about my weakness. Im so sorry.

Well… I felt so sleepy now and I will go to bed at 11.00 p.m. now, I will finish my task little by little. Then, prepare for tomorrow because I will go to school to introduce me myself. I hope, it can better than today. Amin. God..keep me and hug me. Alhamd… I am didn’t cry at all. At first till today. I hope I can do it till the end of the day in Thailand. Amin. Please God..keep my family in Indonesia. I can not mention one by one, but please save them at all. I miss them and I will do the best in Pattani. They are my exact motivation. Amin.

At Kak.Ti and Kak.Cu’s room 10.35 p.m.
