Interviewing Foreigners?

News Anchor - Omar The Maine Coon

Plans For The Future? Hmmmm...

I want to live a peaceful life, a balancing life. I know that life always have a problem so, I really want to live a life that when I have a problem, I can handle it without being stressed too much.

For myself. A hope my future self will have a better personality than now. I want to be a sholehah, responsible, smart, caring, kind, and courageous woman.

For my education I want to graduate with GPA min 3.30 (hmm actually I hope more than that), and I wish I can continue my study to get another degree.

For my career, I want to have a job that I like, so it won't feel like a pressure for me working there. I like to learn about financial management (I guess I started to like financial management rather than accounting:'D) so I really hope in the future I will be a successful financial analyst who works at the great company and I'm happy to work in there. And also, I want to be a successful investor. I'm actually want to have a business too, maybe 

I want to travel overseas, but before that I really want to visit all Indonesia's beautiful places first! Indonesia has many beautiful places to visit with a very good scenery, so I really wish to do that.

For my family in the future,  I want to be good mother for my children, a loving and caring mother for them. I want to have a nurturing partner who loves me, I want to get married with a man who can guide me to the right path and bring me closer to Allah, a man who work hard and responsible, and of course a man who loves Allah and his family so much.

I want to have a pet shop and a clinic for pets. I also plan to make a shelter for cats, because I love them so much, I really want them to have a good life :')

Somehow I'm wondering if the 30-year-old me reading this. I hope you have achieve at least three goals you've made now, Dearest Kinanti :D

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened, and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the conditional contain the word if. Many conditional forms in English are used in sentences that include verbs in one of the past tenses. This usage is referred to as "the unreal past" because we use a past tense but we are not actually referring to something that happened in the past. There are five main ways of constructing conditional sentences in English. In all cases, these sentences are made up of an if clause and a main clause. In many negative conditional sentences, there is an equivalent sentence construction using "unless" instead of "if". 

Conditional sentence type	Usage	If clause verb tense	Main clause verb tense
Zero	General truths	Simple present	Simple present
Type 1	A possible condition and its probable result	Simple present	Simple future
Type 2	A hypothetical condition and its probable result	Simple past	Present conditional or Present continuous conditional
Type 3	An unreal past condition and its probable result in the past	Past perfect	Perfect conditional
Mixed type	An unreal past condition and its probable result in the present	Past perfect	Present contditional

The zero conditional

The zero conditional is used for when the time being referred to is now or alwaysand the situation is real and possible. The zero conditional is often used to refer to general truths. The tense in both parts of the sentence is the simple present. In zero conditional sentences, the word "if" can usually be replaced by the word "when" without changing the meaning.

If clause	Main clause
If + simple present	simple present
If this thing happens	that thing happens.
If you heat ice	it melts.
If it rains	the grass gets wet.

Type 1 conditional

The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present or future where thesituation is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. In these sentences the if clause is in the simple present, and the main clause is in the simple future.

If clause	Main clause
If + simple present	simple future
If this thing happens	that thing will happen.
If you don't hurry	you will miss the train.
If it rains today	you will get wet.

Type 2 conditional

           The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a time that is now or any time, and a situation that is unreal. These sentences are not based on fact. The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a hypothetical condition and its probable result. In type 2 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the simple past, and the main clause uses the present conditional.

If clause	Main clause
If + simple past	present conditional or present continuous conditional
If this thing happened	that thing would happen. (but I'm not sure this thing will happen) OR that thing would be happening.
If you went to bed earlier	you would not be so tired.
If it rained	you would get wet.
If I spoke Italian	I would be working in Italy.

Type 3 conditional

The type 3 conditional is used to refer to a time that is in the past, and a situation that is contrary to reality. The facts they are based on are the opposite of what is expressed. The type 3 conditional is used to refer to an unreal past condition and its probable past result. In type 3 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect, and the main clause uses the perfect conditional.

If clause	Main clause
If + past perfect	perfect conditional or perfect continuous conditional
If this thing had happened	that thing would have happened. (but neither of those things really happened) OR that thing would have been happening.
If you had studied harder	you would have passed the exam.
If it had rained	you would have gotten wet.
If I had accepted that promotion	I would have been working in Milan.

Bogor Botanical Garden One Day Trip!

Hello guys! This is the first time I write about my experience in my blog. Actually this is my english task and I have to do it, but I also love to share my story too. Happy reading! :D

It was still the semester break, the first day of September 2016, me and my friends planned to visit Bogor Botanical Garden. They are my classmates; Meli, Anjar, Alan, and Radit.

At first we promised to gather at Pondok Cina Station at 09.30 a.m., but at the end we all gathered at 11.00 a.m (you all know Indonesian right? :p), after we all gathered (the four of us, because Radit’s home is in Bogor he waited us there) we left Pondok Cina Station and we arrived at Bogor Station around 12.00 p.m. After we arrived at Bogor Station, we straightly went to Bogor Botanical Garden by angkot. We arrived there around 12.30 p.m. and Radit already waited for us there.

We had lunch first, across the Bogor Botanical Garden at Mie Ayam Restaurant. We all ordered Mie Ayam Baso, and sweet ice tea for the drink. After our tummy had already full, we walked again to Bogor Botanical Garden to buy the ticket to enter the garden.

Our first shoot :D

Then we took the photo at the (well I didn’t know what this place was called).

And then we walked to the musholla to pray, it was a very very very hot sunny day :’’’ Meli and me, we put on our lipstick first (hahaha that’s what’s girls do, right?) so we won’t looked so pale when we were taking photos :p. And I still remember how Anjar Alan and Radit curious about the shades of lipsticks. Hmm, boys.....

We still walked around and we were tired :’ so we sat at the chair provided there. But we never forgot to take some pictures :D

Hello from us!

After we took some pictures there, we were curious about the gate, the red hanging gate which had been talked by many people. It called Jembatan cinta lol. Honestly, i was really scared because that hanging gate cannot hold more than 10 people (if I’m not mistaken) and there were some visitors beside us, they also wanted to take some photos. So we waited for them, because that thing was keep swaying :’D. But we never forgot to take pictures at that swaying-hanging-gate of course! :p

This is Alan

This is Anjar

After we visited the red-hanging-creepy-gate, we finally found the perfect place to take some nice pictures :D yes it was a green green grass! (again, I didn’t know what’s the name of the place), there were some people there, a group who celebrated their friend’s birthday, elementary school students who were in school picnic (maybe?), and 3 girls who took pictures together.

Left to right : Meli, Anjar, Me, Alan, and in the center was Radit :D

Our first pict at the green green grass :p we were sitting at that photo, Meli put the camera and we use the timer because at first we were too shy to asked a person for taking us some pictures, but later we ask someone (yeah I’ll get to that part later).

After that, I asked Meli to take a picture of me while sitting in the green grass (yes, took a picture when you were sitting will not make you look fat) so I asked her :D and we still took some pictures together one by one (really this green grass thing was the best place to take a pictures than everywhere in the garden) and finally we asked someone to take our pictures together......

Aaaand it was a blur :’) (well, there were many pictures that blurred because the tempered glass of the camera was too dark but it’s okay :)) ) because we asked an elementary student to take the pictures of five of us together while he was playing football. 

Nevermind kiddo, thankyouuu :D

After we took some pictures (again) at the green green grass, we finally decided to go home because it was already cloudy there. We walked out the garden and I bought some Tales Bogor because my mum asked for it :’ that thing was heavy to carry :(.

We went back to Bogor Station by angkot, and when we arrived there, it was starting to rain there :’ so we went to musholla first in the station, and Alhamdulillah after we pray Ashar, the rain stopped :D.

Finally we got in to the train and fortunately, we got the seat :D it was a tiring day but it was worth it! We laughed a lot there, had good time, and of course got some pictures together! But at the end of the day, in the train, there were something funny. First, Anjar slept at the train and the position was very funny :’) and second, Alan was tired too he forgot that we should get off at the Pondok Cina Station, he thought that Depok Baru Station is Pondok Cina Station, he lost his focus :’) hahaha I know if I tell you right know it might be not funny, but that time it was :)).

Finally we arrived at the Pondok Cina Station, Alan went home by his motorcycle, Anjar took an angkot with me and Meli, because I wanted to go to Meli’s boarding house. It was raining again, we waited for 30 minutes and then I went home with Meli by her motorcycle. Finally, I arrived home and feel so happy that day :D.

P.S : I'm sorry for the grammar alert (or something) in this post because I'm still learning :D
