Rini (Palembang) Hi. Win, I'm not on holiday. I still teach my second grade students. I will try to write on my holiday and maybe do you have suggestion how to start my article.

“I am not on holiday either, as we finished the national examination, we had the madrasah examination that was held from May 9th to May 14th, 2008. I was posted in one of private madrasah in Bandarlampung, it is about 10 kms away from my school. Thursday is the last day of the school examination, the subject is local content (Bahasa Lampung), the proctors are ready. There were six proctors. The students are all ready as well. At 7:30 I rang the bell. The students stood in line in front of their respective class. The proctors stand beside the door and let the students enter the room. As everyone is in, one of the students leads their friend reciting the prayer. The proctors distribute the answer sheet and the test booklet. The students started working on the test. I am in the committee office alone. I got nothing to do. I stood up and took the proctors attendance. In the last 3 previous days (Friday, Monday and Tuesday) I called my “friend” to talk about anything. Enjoying each other company. I spent hours talking to her. As the madrasah examination over, we checked to answer sheet. I was responsible for the data processing team. I did the data entry of the score. But there was some teachers absent, so I must substitute one of them. I checked the answer sheet of the Aqidah akhlak subject. Last Friday and Saturday, May 16-17 2008, we had “ujian praktek” again I am responsible for doing the data entry. For your information there are 212 students joining the examination. There are nine subjects for madrasah examination, and the score has 4 characters. Can you count how many times I have to dial the keyboards?
It’s 8 pm, my wife, son and daughter have gone to bed. I have not felt sleepy yet. I am in the family room. The tv is on. It is metro TV. I watched Democrazy program, I found it interesting. I did not really focus on the program, my mind is somewhere else. I really missed some one. I lied down on the mattress in front of the TV. Beside me, there is a laptop. The laptop is on. I tried to find something in the laptop that can help me filling my loneliness. I browsed the My document folder then I chose the video folder. I highlighted the 4 files then I opened them with winamp. The song has brought my memory somewhere, the pictures in the video have refresh my memory about my friends back there.
