Syamsul took me to the girls’ section and after I finished teaching, he asked one teacher to take me back to the boys’ section. As there was trouble with the wireless net, I had to surf the Internet at the administrative office. I did nothing but searched for e-dictionary for mobile phones. I chatted with LPH and WS on QQ. WS asked me to buy him some stamps and I agreed. Meanwhile, Mr Khodir told me to write a self introduction for reading in the teachers’ meeting on Thursday. And he also told me what I should finish. The first one was teaching plans for November and December. The second one was lesson wares from November to January. And I should prepare for a test for each month. I felt troubled but said OK.

At noon after I returned home, Syamsul did not have lunch here. I finished editing the self introduction after a nap. At 4 pm., Mr Khodir came with a student. He gave me a big Indonesian-Chinese dictionary as a gift. I cooked while he did the cleaning. And he said he would ask students to clean the house on Friday. After supper, we went to chat with the neighbors on the bed for cooling. Khodir talked about his experiences studying in Shanghai. And the neighbors told him something about me and he served as an interpreter. He said slowly and seriously and he was kind. At 8.pm., I went upstairs, called my wife and my daughter and answered DSJ’s call.
