Answer:  1D 2C 3A 4E 5B

Kalau hari kedua, gue coba cari makanan yg diceritain temen gue, tapi gue masih ga nemu. Akhirnya, gue liat ada yang jualan nasi uduk. Gue coba deh. Pilihannya ada ayam, ikan, telur bulat, dan telur dadar. Kalau milih ayam atau ikan bayarnya Rp 15.000. Kalau telur bayarnya Rp 13.000. Kalau ayam+telur atau ikan+telur kayaknya bayar Rp 18.000 deh. Gue lupa, soalnya waktu itu gue milih telur dadar. Rasanya sih lumayan lah dan cepat jadinya karena cuma dicampur2 aja. Campurannya ada mie, sayur, tempe orek, dan sambel.

Semenjak hari itu, gue berpikir mau coba2 segala makanan yang dijual di sekitar tempat kursus gue, di BTP. Soalnya di BTP ada banyak penjual makanan. Jadi, gue mau coba tiap hari beda terus makanannya. Gue coba dulu yang harganya kira2 murah lah.

Hari pertama gue les, gue makan roti selai kacang 2 dan sekotak susu coklat. Iya karena gue nanya2 temen gue tempat yg murah tapi gue ga nemu. Akhirnya singgah di minimarket dan beli makanan yang praktis, lumayan murah, dan kenyang.

Kalau makan diluar disaat kayak gini tuh berasa ingat dulu waktu ngerantau. Sebelum makan mikirin makanannya apa? enak gak? harganya murah gak dan bikin kenyang gak? Berasa puas gitu kalau nemu makananya sesuai ke4 syarat itu. Hha.

Introduction #0 Full Bright Institute, Indonesia

I want to use this tumblr to rewrite what I learned from my english course in Full Bright Institute. So let’s begin! But before I want to tell something.

I will study in my course for 4 weeks or 20 days, from Monday to Friday. I started my class from 7.00 PM to 08.30 PM and go home for work at 5.00 PM. If I go home first for dinner then I will be late to join my class because my home so far. Full Bright Institute was in Bumi Taman Permai (BTP), Makassar. Then, I would be so hungry if I eat after my class completion. There are free 2 hours and around my course there are many who sells delicious food, so everyday I want to try a different foods. Yeah, through this blog I also want to tell about what I had eaten. Hha.

Bahasa Inggris gue berantakan? Bodo amat! namanya juga belajar. :p
