Obrolan Panas Sama Ortu

 

Hai kalian yang pasti selalu udah punya keinginan sendiri yang gak sejalan dengan kemauannya orang tua alias pengen punya jalan sendiri.  Dari cuma mau beli baju pas lebaran, kita mau yang mana, mereka beliin yang mana, or mau lanjutin sekolah yang mana, mereka pilihin yang mana. Bukan cuma itu aja, yang lebih Hot lagi, Lately aku habis ngobrol complicated banget same bapak mamak aku, yang ngebahas masalah "mau ngapain abis kuliah?". Pertanyaan yang sebenernya aku hindarin banget (mungkin bukan cuma aku aja kali ya, mostly all the fresh graduated college) . Kenapa sih? masalahnya apa?. Because we don't even know what we want to do, and all we know kita gak mau do whatever our parents ask us to do, bukan karena kita gak mau kali ya (kok kayaknya sounds so selfish) mungkin kita ngerasa not our passion aja gitu or we not sure we could do it or no (what they want) or probably we think we can do or choose better  and whatever the reason, we just didn't agree with them. 
So what we do then?. Pas masih kecil bisa aja sih pake jurus nangis atau melas-melasin muka. Pas udah agak gede pake jurus ngambek, mungkin masih ada yang pake jurus mogok makan (kalo aku sih gak pernah ya, soalnya makan is my priority, palingan cuma hentak-hentakin kaki aja pas jalan sambil tutup pintu kamar keras-keras wkk). Nah masalahnya pas kita udah cukup umur buat ngobrolin apa yang kita mau versus apa yang mereka mau, artinya kita udah gak punya senjata apa-apa lagi, selain surrounded sama mereka, apalagi kalo mereka udah pake jurus "kita gak maksa sih nak, tapi maunya sih kalo kamu bisa kerja di bla..bla..bla.. atau jadi bla..bla..bla..). Udah deh ujung-ujungnya cuma bisa bilang " iyaaa.. nanti diusahakan, doain aja ya". Haahhh (hela nafas keras-keras) "ya Allah gini banget". 
But... for me it wasn't the end. I'm not telling you to against your parents. Its not an example, aku cuma mau ngeshare how my story goes when it comes to this kind of problem. I said "i'll do my best, i'll try" bukan mau php-in ortu juga, but kenapa sih kita gak berusaha do both. while full fill what they want, and do what we want. I know it sounds so insane ( ya kali kita bisa semua, kayak mana cara nya, gak ada waktunya, and many other reasons to not do it or can't do it). But I Really Believe If Something That We Want Big Enough, We Will Find The Way. Kayak ditulisan aku sebelumnya think like a child to persue what we want, a child never look for the reason to not get what they want, they always look for the reason  to get what they want.
I know we have the obligation to make our parents happy, tapi aku percaya deepdown all they want is   to make us happy. So.. what makes you happy?

Press Play: Reflecting on Game Elements and Gamification in Learning

                                                                                  When we hear the word game , we often think of fun, competition, or leisure. However, preparing and presenting Game Elements & Gamification in our Game-Based Learning course challenged me to see games not just as entertainment, but as carefully designed systems for motivation, engagement, and learning . This reflection explores what I learned from the presentation, how theory and practice intersect, and why play deserves a serious place in education. Games Are Built on Purpose, Not Chaos      One of the strongest insights from the presentation was that every game begins with a clear objective . Whether it is checkmating an opponent in chess or...

Sound in Multimedia: More Than Just Noise—It’s Memory, Mood, and Meaning

Close your eyes and think of a school bell. Or the “ding” when you get a correct answer in a game. Without seeing anything, your brain already reacts. That’s the power of sound —a tool that goes beyond decoration. In multimedia learning, audio is more than background—it’s a cognitive guide, an emotional hook, and an invisible teacher . Let’s dive into how sound works in learning, what the science says, and how smart audio design makes content not only memorable—but meaningful. Why Sound Matters in Learning While visuals often take center stage in educational media, sound plays a quiet but crucial role . It guides attention, sets emotional tone, and helps learners stay engaged. According to Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning , we process information through two channels: visual and auditory . If too much is crammed into one channel, learners get overwhelmed. But when sound is used strategically, it balances cognitive load (Mayer, 2020). Think of narration that expl...

Learning on the Table: Designing and Playing an Educational Board Game

Gambar
          Board games have a unique power in education. They bring learners together around a shared space, encourage communication, and turn learning into a social experience. Unlike digital games, board games rely on face-to-face interaction, physical components, and collective decision-making, all of which support meaningful learning and collaboration (Salen & Zimmerman, 2004).      Inspired by this idea, one of our assignments was to design an educational board game , test it with real players, and reflect on both the design process and learning outcomes. Why Board Games Matter in Education      Research shows that board games support learning by combining rules, goals, feedback, and social interaction into a single experience. Physical board games encourage turn-taking, discussion, negotiation, and shared problem-solving, which aligns strongly with social constructivist learning theory (Vygotsky, 1978).    ...
