Today I lecture. When the subject of Intellectual History, we were startled by an albino who wandering into the classroom. Called Caucasians because of her blonde hair (not as in-paint, but indeed of his sono-he).
Caucasians are introduced himself named Kevin Forks and we are allowed to call with a call-Mas Kevin, Mr. Kevin or Kevin Bang. But Do not even call him Mister Kevin because he will be a strange sense (meaning a * horse: D).
Just little things that I know that if you want to call someone, Caucasians of course ... as mister then the clan, such as: Mister Forks is not mister Kevin, Kevin Bang explains.
I am confused about what he called:
Mr. - was called the father but he was so young. Bang - called brother but an albino, ... ah, better called "Mas", Mas Kevin.
It is more familiar as our posture is not much different, I kn something like the little ma bule, hehe: D.
At this meeting we introduced Mas lecturer Kevin, he was given the opportunity to teach, exchange ideas and discuss. Mas Kevin presented the problem of "Oral History" or in the scientific study of history is often called the "Oral History". Remembering a few years ago when I studied historical sources relating to - oral history at the beginning of the semester.
So exciting and is a different thing when learning and given the material by an albino. Mas Kevin comes from America, tall and rather thin Europeans like posture. But he is fluent in Indonesia, probably because it has been for some time living in Indonesia. He admitted that he had one and a half years in Indonesia during his studies.
Although sometimes stopped for a moment in his presentation, because it does not find the words that it deems appropriate, so connect it in English.
Mas Kevin is a doctoral candidate and obtain besiswa from Fulbright, was so impressive to see his young age. Fulbright scholarship and is an organizer of the exchange student from America to Indonesia and vice versa in cooperation with the Ministry of Education. Not only Indonesia but several countries in Asia such as Malaysia, India, Egypt and Cambodia are funded and facilitated by the Americans. So that students from these countries can study and get experience of studying in America or vice versa.
Available scholarship programs from Bachelors to Masters level and Doctoral there is even a special program one or two semesters college in America for students who were in college at the undergraduate level to just learn, add insight and experience of visiting the U.S. of course.
All educational accommodation and living expenses incurred during the study funded and Fulbright. Wow ... cool tuh, can walk to America.
This time could meet Barack Obama wrote, hehe-inconsequential.
But seriously, I become inspired and motivated to be exact. A lot of things and experiences that I can be of a short meeting with Kevin Mas this.
First, I so want to speak English and master, at least be able to converse and speak English in simple conversations not only dwell on vocabulary: "Yes, No ... sure, please, and Arrounding"
* (Remember some time ago, there were Caucasians, I estimate a Russian (the English language faster and less obvious) that nanyain road to the nearest bus station and I could only answer "arrounding .... Arrounding", while pointing the direction in question).
Caucasians are not the same embarrassment with his studies focused willing and able to speak Indonesian Mas Kevin like this. And of course it would be useful and beneficial if it could speak English.
There is a scholarship program that is attractive to teachers who have taught for 5 years had the opportunity to add experience, learn and deepen science education in America. But like any other scholarship programs that require TOEFL above 450an.
* Make Obsession wrote (wrote ntar times there is a chance, he ... ameen)
In addition, I ama ya so ngiri Caucasians. Because he was so eloquent and mastered the science of history in the field who focus on the documentary history. Can explain so complete and clear history, local history in Indonesia, and can draw an understanding of the sources are collected, as if he had been long settled and already like Indonesia. In the middle of a presentation and answer questions that we catapult. He Mas Kevin becerita how it turns out this has been arrived at "Marabahan" in order to collect the necessary resources and interviews.
Many of the discoveries and historical research which was discovered by outsiders and not by the people or we as historians in the field of archeology, sociology and culture and related to the history of the nation and society.
How did the Dutch who have been exploring areas throughout Indonesia to the interior of Borneo which turned out to have contained traces of the Netherlands. Looking for something beneficial to their interests when colonize Indonesia and not the people of our native who has lived here for centuries.
Oia ... there are things that are interesting from this Kevin Mas,
Mas Kevin simple look and dressed in batik which is the original culture of Indonesia. Indonesia is inversely proportional to the consumptive and prefer foreign products more classy look than domestic products that actually has aesthetic and cultural values such as batik clothing and fabrics typical of the region.
When Mister Forks issued a laptop from a bag-pack of recycled or recyclable plastic bags that are clearly labeled - Mama Lemon. Visible environmental awareness and global impact of even small things is by using recycled products are more environmentally friendly.
* Get a little demen ma ni Caucasians and ruled his country background.
He also speaks fluent Indonesian and understand the customs and culture of Indonesian society well and always modestly at the end of every explanation and answers to our questions.
When talking and speaking Indonesian with a similar tone and tempo-love Laura, and an interesting way of speaking: I remind the person that speaks with one hand is folded slightly in the armpit.
For some reason I so remember pembakal Juhu,: D ...
similar ... though not always,
