Going Back To The Past, Imagining The Future

I've been impressed by this song at the first time I heard, Father and Son.

Sung by Cat Stevens, this morning this song really brought me back to the past and at the same time brought me forward to the future.

I sat down imagining the time when my hubby was young. He was with his father and talking about something told by the song. His father is now mine, too.

And I then travelled my mind to imagine the future when one day, insyAllah, my hubby will be in his father's place.

It makes me really want to have children, bring them up, help them be what the best they can...insyAllah.


O, ya...about the picture...trust me they are father and son...hehe kidding.

Je m'appelle Julie

Je m'appelle Julie. Je suis étudiante en français.

That's what I have to say when I introduce myself in the class. When studying French, our real names are changed to French names. I choosed "Julie". It will be easier for me as I was born in July ;-)

The teacher always explains anything in French, so we have to listen very carefully. It's not easy, many times I miss what she says. "C'est normal".

Last week I got the first text to learn. Here it is :

Aujourd'hui Hippolyte vient voir Honoré.
Il sonne trois fois.
Honore n'est pas la.
Aussi, Hippolyte s'en va.
Il retourne chez lui.

That's for us who really learn French from the very basic. Nice hah?

In the class of 30, we do not care about many diffrences. Many races present : Spanish, Moroccan, Canadian, Russian, Indonesian, and others. Many ages present : teenagers, 30 year old "one day mom to be" (me... hehe), 62 year old grandpa, 46 year old grandma, 19 year old mom to be, and others. Black, white, yellow, sawo matang...all present!

Je m'appelle Julie... et je suis étudiante en français...;-))

Hamdulillah...I enjoy it!

Again To Be A Real Student

March 6, 2006, that was the first day of my "going back again to be a real student" in the Institut d'Enseignement de Promotion Sociale de la Communauté Française de Belgique (I.E.P.S.C.F. - UCCLE).

I am now studying French there. I start it from the very beginning. It is so nice, hamdulillah.

In the class, we are all 30 students of many cultures and native languages. There are Spanish, Chinese, Moroccan, Russian, Indonesian, and others. We're all together studying French, masyAllah. Sometimes it is easy or even so easy, but sometimes it is not understandable. But shortly I can say that the class, alhamdulillah, it is so nice, full of fun.

I have to attend the class 5 days a week.
Monday, 08.30 am to 02.00 pm.
Tuesday, 08.30 am to 01.00 pm.
Wednesday, 08.30 am to 02.00 pm.
Thursday, 12.15 pm to 05.40 pm.
Friday, 01.05 pm to 05.40 pm.

ope I will be able to speak French well one day without loosing my English ^_* insyAllah. Hope I will be able to write down posts in French one day in this Blog. InsyAllah....
