Gak Selamanya

 Hari ini aku belajar bahwa jangan take everything as a garanted, karena gak ada yang selamanya. Aku setelah ngabisin 3-5 menit video call with my mom yang diisi dengan iya, apa, gak denger, putus-putus, karena signal jelek dan harus diakhiri dengan disconected, dan aku telpon berulang-ulang dan akhirnya menyerah. maybe next time i tought to myself. then come to my mind. iya ya kadang kita selalu ngerasa orang itu selalu ada.

Back to the begining of the story. sebenarnya ibu aku bukan the type of person who will call and will keep the conversation even for 3 minutes. Aku adalah anak bungsu dan perempun satu-satunya dari 4 bersaudara. kebanyakan orang pasti bilang wahhh pasti kesayangan. from what i can say, aku ada di in the middle, gak dimanja, cuma kadang masih bisa dibela :)

Back to the call. Aku juga bukan tipikal person yang ngobrol sama ortu sering-sering. Sampe sejarang mungkin 1 bulan sekali, itu juga kalo mau minta uang jajan. Iya segitunya. Tapi bapak aku beda, dia juga jarang telpon, tapi kalo udah sampe hampir sebulan aku belum telpon, pasti dia yang telpon deluan. Sekedar nanya kabar katanya :) kalo sudah dikasih ke ibu aku telponnya dia pasti selalu bilang "iya mau ngomong apa? mamak sibuk, ada kerjaan" jadi gak pernah lewat dari 3 menit ngobrolnya. Padahal aku adalah tipe orang yang selalu bisa ngobrol lama, meskipun se-akward kamu gak sengaja masuk video call temen kamu yang lagi video call-an sama keluarganya hahaa se-akward itu tapi aku masih bisa sok asik ngajak ngobrol mamanya temen aku lebih lama daripada ngobrol sama ibu aku sendiri.

Tapi setelah bapak aku meninggal, ibu aku selalu telpon, gak pernah lagi bilang sibuk atau ada kerjaan. walaupun pas di telpon bener-bener lagi ngerjain sesuatu. Selalu angkat telpon dan ngobrol lama, walaupun dia gak tau mau bilang apa, tapi aku selalu cari obrolan, dan tanya apapun kegiatannya. Dan dia okay with it. jadi sekarang udah jadi kebiasaan. Malah kalo aku agak sibuk lupa kirain udah telpon padahal hampir seminggu belum telpon, pasti ibu aku telpon deluan. 

Jadi aku sedih kalo inget betapa jauhnya aku sekarang, dan punya keluarga sendiri dan ibu aku punya kehidupannya sendiri. But that's life right? kalo aku punya pemikirian kayak gini ibu aku selalu bilang. "Jangan gitu, pikiran negatif, sedih itu gak baik. Jodoh rejeki dan ajal itu kan ditangan Tuhan. Sudah takdir kamu jauh tinggalnya. Kita udah tau dan ikhlas waktu kami nikahkan kamu." Ibu aku bukan tipe orang yang bisa nyamanin anaknya dengan kata-kata manis. Jadi dia kasih se-apa ada nya itu. Dan dia tambahin "kamu harus jadi istri yang baik, sabar, kalo ada sesuatu hal di doakan aja, minta Tuhan berikan jalan". Sampe sini dulu... :)

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).    ...
