I Feel Strange, but...

Hello Steemit Fellows 🤗

imagesnail's amazing journey

I enjoy watching My Rep crawl on one by one point, and sometimes I just want to stop it for a week in the same point, for example when it was 39.39 or 40.40 😂, I don't know why?

I feel strange when people up voted my uncategorized post. I wish that I could get more SP without thinking about reputation, but it must be something impossible 🤣.

I still have time to advance my ability on creating a high quality original content, I don't look for sudden changes too. A month ago I started to write my posts in Acehnese Language. I live far from my homeland now, I seldom have an opportunity to meet and talk to my fellow Acehnese. Steemit is the only way to express my eager to talk about it.

Why Acehnese Language

When there is a few followers who really understand Acehnese Language, why in this global world I keep on writing in my mother's language? What messages do I want to address in order to get more attention? Actually, I am not a good Acehnese spoken 🙏, I learned Acehnese from friends when I was in university😁, Acehnese language is not our first language in the family, Bahasa Indonesia with Batak's dialect is the first.

No wonder if 2 of my 8 siblings don't speak Acehnese at all and become the victims when family gathering, occasionally. Writing in Acehnese Language is a better method to recall my memory. I love the idioms and certain words that have forgotten by Acehnese people nowadays. For example words Rambideun for Spider or Bambang for Butterfly. There is a funny way to find out about how good someone Acehnese Language is, try to say the withered banana leaves in Aceh-Lang, if the answer is oun pisang tho, He/She must be a newbie. The smart one will answer it "oun keurusong". That person will gets suggestions to eat more sun-dried bilimbi or Asam Sunti and sometimes the most hilarious thing like chewing the sugarcane leaves😜

Aahh, it's just a justification to avoid the responsibility of the current contest 😊

This can be done with a couple of reasonable points, but now I have no idea. I was a radio reporter, I wrote in Bahasa Indonesia and few times I did interact with some people who worked with me in various projects as interpreter or researcher. Hey, I don't have any formal degree or certified evidence that I can speak English too. I learned English lesson in high school and took an English class for elementary student at the English Courses by that time.

It take an hour to complete one post in Aceh-Lang, but 2 hours for a post in English😲, exhausting 😂 because I don't really like to use the browser translation service too. I would prefer to use my old memory and practice with it. That's why I don't understand why you want to up voted my posts. But thank you for stopping by and encourage me to keep on posting on steemit 🤗

I promise to my friend to write about Kryptonia and @steembasicincome too in Bahasa Indonesia, but I will do that after tomorrow as I completed my mission to enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest first. I saved my entry in steemit browser😎 need to clear it up if I have to use it now.

So, What's New?

I am running a contest to win 1 Steem right now😃, laugh at me, it's okay. A plankton running a contest, it must be something ridiculous, right? The contest is in Ach-Lang, I create a hash tag called pehtem or beat the can/tin it is an idiom in Ach-Lang means something you do to kill the time by having a chit chat with your friends or anybody you meet at the coffee shop or monkey hut.. Oops I mean the guard post.

The topics of that long and crowded conversation are various, it can be a serious issues with the government or community, sometimes it is about businesses and households problems, religion or other social issues. NO, IT IS NOT LIKE GOSSIPING AROUND it is depend on the people whose involve in the conversation.

Well, something like that is what I am trying to do here too. Yes, I am broke and I only have 2 Steem which I can use to sponsor a good blogger in SBI. Hey Cici, power up if you want to help others! I know who will says that too 😊, but I am here just for fun before I determined to work on this platform seriously. Just support me, will you?

You don't have to delegate your SP to me, if you're an Acehnese and you have some valuable votes, just vote for the participants, they need that more than me. Well, I still working on the forms of the contest, lucky that my @dipoabasch will help me with the rest of SBD he has in his wallet 😍.

Life is about having fun, trial and error, be grateful and share with others✌️🙌🤝

Good luck on your contest, and thank you for your vote on my content. I do appreciate it. Your English writing is fine, and you at least know a lot more languages than I do, I know American English, I know a few words in Spanish, but not many. I have never been to an area where I needed to learn another language. Something that Europeans, and Islanders have a need of is the multiple languages due to the closeness of neighbors. In America we just seem to adopt the words of other languages and most of us never take the time to learn a second.

Yes, I've met American friends who spoke Bahasa Indonesia and Spanish, but they are born in Mexico or South America (I mean not USA 🙏) and now I understand that foreign language is not generally taught in your country, while we're in Indonesia have no option but to learn multi languages and sometimes we've just forgot to learn our mother language.
You know, we have hundreds of local languages, even in a province like Aceh (my homeland) we have 8 different languages (I think I understand 3 of them😁 because I live with many people who came from different districts and ethnicity)
