. . . Bahkan satu titik-pun bermakna dalam . . .

Suatu ketika, di kelas Pasca Sarjana, mata kuliah Teaching Practice

Pagi itu kami sedang berdiskusi tentang RPP seorang teman dengan mata kuliah Reading.

Dosen saya bertanya "kenapa titiknya harus tiga?"
Saya menjawab dengan lantang "karena itu standard dalam pembuatan soal ma'am"
Beliau tidak lantas mengiyakan, beliau menambahkan pertanyaan "apa alasan dibalik jumlah titik yang hanya tiga?"
Beliau terlihat cukup emosional, hingga ahirnya ada seorang teman yang mengangkat tangan dan berujar "Titik yang dipakai hanya tiga karena di akhir soal sudah terdapat satu titik, yang artinya jumlah titik ada empat."
Beliau tersenyum lega karena pada akhirnya beliau tak lagi harus menjelaskan sesuatu yang sebenarny sudah kami pelajari pada perkuliahan semester 1.


Titik . . . .

it's a very simple thing but it has a deep meaning, it's not only a dot, it's more than that.

Dari sini saya berusaha memahami suatu fakta tentang saya, yang selama ini seringkali memperhatikan detil-detil yang mungkin bagi orang lain tak berarti apapun.

Selagi masih dalam batas wajar, apa yang selama ini saya lakukan ternyata memang harus dilakukan.

This Is It.. part 6

It was saturday, and like the other days, she went to her office, where she worked as an editor, a job that took her busy all the time.
She liked that job very much, well, she did not like it at the first time, but then she fell in love with it. She helped many new writers became better writers, and she enjoyed reading many people's works.
She could manage her time between working and having fun very well.

That morning, in her room at the office. She gazed at her computer sharply. She had to edit a journal that would be published internationally, for several times her right finger clicked on delete button.
Suddenly her cellphone rang, she ignored it and kept focusing her eyes on the screen.
About fifteen minutes later, one of her staffs knocked on her door.
She raised her eyebrows, and put off her glasses.
She asked: "What's up Clara?"
Clara said: "Well, someone is calling you, He said he called your cellphone but you didn't pick it up"

In a second she looked at her cellphone and smiled.
"well.. yeah it's my boyfriend, just tell him to hang up the phone, I 'll contact him later"
Clara smiled back at her and said: "are you sure? I mean, it seems he really wants to talk to you"
She answered: "yes, thanks, but I cannot leave this stuff".
