What a shocking news today from the morning Christian service. One of our most active teachers, a native speaker of English, Mr. Arthur Laronde, nicknamed Art, passed away due to heart attack yesterday (Sunday).
My thoughts flew to our last meeting in Biology laboratory of SMPK 8 PENABUR International. It was one of the last Biology experiment trials by Brilliant Class 12th graders, as well as an extra class for 11th graders. Mr. Oscar Efendy (LIPI/ Indonesian Research Centre) was administering the Biology experiment paper 32 of Oct 2007, when Mr. Art joined us and gave some tips of facing the exams. Among the tips were looking quickly at all the experiment tasks, and paying attention to the time management. I did not realize it was the last meeting with this PENABUR International Jakarta Head of English Department, such an active and inspiring person, who, in his last year, still had the passion to complete doing an advanced Cambridge course in one centre.
Good bye, Mr. Art, may you rest in peace. May your family in both Ontario and Jakarta be strengthened always to face future life.
Teguh, your BPK PENABUR Jakarta English colleague, having gotten
your Bread Talk's oatmeals twice for dietary purposes.
