Mengenang flight2 back to indo..

Mengingat flight2 saya yang telah berlalu (kalau anda perna baca blog saya sebelumnya), pasti akan terlihat suatu pattern yang sangat jelas.. (read: flight gw ga ada yang bener. *sigh*)

Eniweis, dibutakan oleh loyalti saya yang teramat sangat pada Singapore Airlines, tiap kali pulang ke Indo, pasti nyarinya SQ. Walo kursi sempit dan bikin pegel leher, saya tak perduli.. "SQ is always the way to go!"

...
well.. paling engga, gw perna kepikir gitu si..

Akhir november kemaren gw pulang Indo dengan selamat.. pertamanya, pas gw tau dapet A380, rasanya hati senang karena facilitynya jelas lebi enak ketimbang yang laen.. *Yesss!!!*

tp, apa daya, kenyataan berkata lain..

no, kali ini bukan bayi yang nangis model dominoes jatuh berentet, atau anak kecil yang nendang2 kursiku di sepanjang jalan.

Kali ini, flight gw delay. Ceritanya gini:
karena saya adalah anak yang lumayan teledor (for those yang tau gw, u know me la ya.. ga perlu dijelaskan lebi lanjut), gw berupaya buat ga telat naek pesawat. So, gitu gatenya dibuka, gw masuk setenga jem lebi awal..

then, setenga niat ga niat buat pulang, gw masuk dalem pesawat yang isinya masi kopong.. jd pas masuk, gw masi sempet sms orang sana sini, masi telpon2 orang, etc. Sampai akhirnya, orang yang duduk dikanan dan kiriku nyampe.. No, kali ini bukan orang india seperti dulu. Untunglah..
tp, ce bule 2 orang yang sebetulnya temenan.. gw kejepit ditengah, but, thank God, mereka ramaahhhhhh sekali.. ^^ hehehehe.. jd kita kenalan, ngobrol2, dan gw berasa lumayan comfy..

sesuai schedule, pesawatnya siap2 buat departure..
like usual, gw selalu tidur2 ayam pas mo terbang.. So, gw merem.. gerakan pesawat terasa begitu mulus.. "A380 memang beda.." begitu pikirku.. dan yah.. pas mo berangkat, 2 orang disebelahku muji2 SQ.

orang disebelah kanan (Deborah): "Oh, it is on time! Great!" *sambil liat jem tangan* orang disebelah kiri ( Allison): "Yea, nice, isn't it? Not bad.. " gw: *ga tau mo ikut ikut komen or engga. bies, kejepit si.. jd gw ngeliatin tas gw n decided buat tidur tidur ayam. So, gw merem..

Beberapa saat kemudian..

gw: kok kita lama banget ya jalannya.. ga terbang2.. *mikir* ah, perasaanku aja kali.. mungkin karena lg merem aj kali jd berasa lama..



sampai gw berasa uda merem lumayan lama, gw melek lagi.. dan berhubung departurenya ga berasa gredek2 ga jelas, gw pikir gw ketiduran pas lagi terbang..

dan ternyata..

tiba2 penumpang2 laen pada mulai bisik2.. katanya ada asep keluar dari sayap pesawat. Aduh rek! Bisa2nya.. >.<

O well.. jadi, gitu sadar ada asep (dan bau2 plastik karet kebakar dalem pesawat), pesawat ga jadi take off, dan langsung menepi..

New formula: asap + bau karet kebakar = delay 3 jam.

Woohoooooo! seru d.. gitu di kasi tau delay 1 jem, kita ga dikasi keluar..

orang2 uda mule minum alkohol..

1 jam..

2 jamm..

lalu 2.5 jammm.. <- katanya si uda take off jem segitu. tp ga jalan jg..

dan 3 jammmm..<- kita take off!!! Thank God!!!!

dan saya sampai ke Jakarta dengan selamatttt. :D

Yah, begitulah flight kembalinya saya ke Indo. :) Kampeiiiii!!!! *pake jus paprika + tomat*

exam period

well well well.. relating to the previous post,

roses only CAME OUT in the exam paper!!!! lol :P Never thought i would get it for my final exam question.. but, anyway, I have one more paper to go.. Really can't wait till all of this is over. Then, i can go lalala and lilili like crazy around the city. @.@' Or shouldn't I? hmmmm.. *contemplating*

O well.. the exam period has been.. erm.. pretty boboho.. staying in, cooking, eating, sleeping, and (of course) studying. >.<
not very good at concentrating to study when i should (ended up going online and bludging over the internet) *plak2*

WIsh me luck ppl!!!! ^o^ one more to go!!!! YAYYYYYyyyy!!!!!

PS: I was grinning so wide when i read the paper question. Half is because i was amazed of the case study, and half because i was clueless on what to write for the case study. But, well.. I think i've done good for the rest of the question. hmmmm..

By the way, gotta go back to study! Night all!

errr... ROses?

Heya all! hehehehe.. back here again.. (tho i should be working on my essay.. TT.TT)

anyway.. urgh.. I dunno why, but I've been in my holiday mood since my midsem break.. till now. I've improved bit by bits due to my assgs due soon. but well.. still, been watching youtubes ALOT. *arrrrgh*

but anywayyy.. I was watching "the nanny series" on youtube, titled "the tart with heart", where the main guy said he love the girl and took it back the day after. Then, out of guilt, the guy told his butler to order 2 dozen of red roses, long stemmed for this lady.

and for a while, i thought: "why two dozens?? why not just a dozen? or mebbe one??"
I also asked the same question when i got flowers in certain amount. But the answer I've got was only: "so what? it's ok. rite?"

...

Out of curiousity, i went to google and search for the meaning of roses. and, tadaaaaa.. here we are!! Different amount of flowers have different meaning.. I knew about it, but never really check on it. I just don't understand how people come up with these meanings..


Meaning of roses


- 1 Rose: Love at the first sight; you are the one
- 2 Roses: Mutual love between both, deeply in love with one another
- 3 Roses: I love you
- 6 Roses: I wanna be yours
- 7 Roses: I'm infatuated with you
- 9 Roses: An Eternal love, together as long as we live
- 10 Roses: You are perfect
- 11 Roses: You are my treasured one; the one I love most in my life
- 12 Roses: Be my steady
- 13 Roses: Secret Admirer
- 15 Roses: I am truly sorry, please forgive me
- 20 Roses: Believe me, I am sincere towards you
- 21 Roses: I am devoted to you
- 24 Roses: Can't stop thinking about you, 24 hours everyday
- 33 Roses: Saying "I love you" with great affection
- 36 Roses: I will remember our romantic moments
- 40 Roses: My love for you is genuine
- 50 Roses: Regretless love, this is
- 99 Roses: I will love you for as long as I live
- 100 Roses: Harmoniously together in a century; remaining devoted as couple till
ripe-old age
- 101 Roses: You are my one and only love
- 108 Roses: Please marry me!
- 365 Roses: Can't stop thinking about you, each and everyday
- 999 Roses: Everlasting and Eternal love

these are interesting.. I can't imagine anyone getting 999 roses. Who would do that anyway??? lol :P But, who knows..

talking about roses, "roses only" is so far the best florist (for roses) that I know.. My sista got roses from there, and they last for quite a long time, and aged gracefully (read: dried nicely.) They still have those color tone, they last long, and the red color doesn't blacken. (like what happened to mine. :()

But, by the way, I gotta stop now.. have to continue my work. *sigh*
Sayonaraaaaaaa.. :D

Someone to watch over me..

Hi all.. It has been quite a while that I haven't updated my blog.

But anyway.. I feel blue somehow for today.. or yesterday? well.. for some reasons, i kinda did.
And, yeah.. a couple of days ago, my friends and I went to eastgarden to watch a movie, titled "Fame"

the performances in it were SOOOOO GOOOODDD.. *drool* Well, i mean, the performances only. The story line is a bit blurred. There are so many main characters that made us confused. I mean, they all have their own stories, and we only get to know them all without any depths.
But, overall, i would give it 4 out of 5. :)

and yeah.. the weather has been not so good lately. It has been raining (ALOT), which somehow made me feel blue. And, I fell in love with this one song.. "Someone to watch over me" from the movie. (which made me feel even blue-er -> forgive my grammar. haha..)

I've found many youtube videos singing this song.. but my favorite one is this one.. She didn't sing the full version of the song.. But well.. I don't mind, really..

here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9idtrSHBXM

SOmeone to watch over me
There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain lad 've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

(bridge)

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me

It's a very nice song.. *sigh *
But, honestly speaking, this song does not represent anything that is going in my life right now. (just to let you know in case if you are wondering why i really like this song and posted it) :P But, hey, this is a nice song to dance for.. Rumba.. awwwww... now i really feel like doing rumba.. >.<

it's getting to the end of the semester.. I'm getting old.. *sigh * hahahahahaaaaa.. don't know what else to say.. I've been babbling here without any direction.. ;P

Basically, I'm on my mellow mood rite now.. Trying to release some stress.. hehehe..
please bear with my blog. :P

anywayyy.. I have alooooooooooooooooot of things to write here.. shall do it next time.. ^^

Mellow mode: ON

One Sweet Day
by: Mariah Carey

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive...

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Eventually we'll sing in heaven

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
And I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Eventually we'll sing in heaven

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Eventually we'll sing in heaven

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say ...

such a beautiful song.. reminds me of someone very special to whom i didn't say all i wanted to say.. and the opportunity is now gone.. gone till one day when we meet again..

really waiting towards the day..

Pesan Moral: Don't take things for granted.. Having people that you love around you is an opportunity. Show them that you care, and let them know that you love them.. Don't be shy, because we don't know when the opportunity ends.

Ngohiang poem..

*picture: courtesy of koepoe Indonesia*

Pada hari minggu

#1
Pada hari minggu kuturut niat ke randwick
ku naik bus 400, kududuk di muka..
kududuk samping om bule, ku tak tau siapa..
mau duduk blakang sopir, ada oma2, HEYYYY..

brm brm whoosh whooshh brm brm whoosh whoosh brm brm whoosh woosh wooooooshh..
brm brm whoosh whoosh brm brm whoosh
ayo ke IPC..


#2
habis kebaktian pagi, ku pergi ke toko..
orientalku tercinta, lalu ku berputar..
tatapan mata terpaku pada benda mungill..
ngohiang terlihat menggoda, lantas aku beli..

saya bingung, saya pusing, skarang menyesallllll..
saya heran, kenapa daku beli ngohianggg.. OEYYYYY!!
...

doh, ngaco d.. mau nulis puisi tentang ngohiang, malah jadi ngetik sambil nyanyi lagu "pada hari minggu". akhirnya puisi ini tidak lagi orisinil. *sigh*

memang kaga bakat si.. mau diapain lagi..

tapiii, anoooo..
Ngo hiang itu buat apaan yahhh? males google. :P (padahal jawaban ada di ujung jariiii)
lalalalala..

*error*
syalalalala..

sempet kepikir buat goreng makanan.. trus dicipratin ngohiang.
ato di dipp ama ngo hiang..
..

ato batternya di cemplungin ngohiang?

banana plus ngohiang? *.*

...
doh, ngaco d..
ngohiang oh ngohiang..

buat apaan sih loe???
tiap kali gw cari.. selalu keluar gambar makanan yang beda2..
gimana cara pakenyaaaa?

5 spices.. oh 5 spices..
anda begitu complicated to use..

Fin~

my brain is fried..

It has been a long time i don't feel as blue as now.
well.. it's great actually..
it's amazing to experience how does it feel when u're ignored by ppl u care about.
It's great to realize how big the impact we can make to ppl around us.. whether it's good or bad..

just a simple question or care can encourage people..
to make their day to be one of the best ever..

when the downfall comes, u just feel like running away.
running away from all your problems when there seems to be no way.

u feel like talking to someone. Anyone.
but it turns out that the time is not right.
don't blame it on the person..
but, being patient with time is not easy.

I feel like quitting everything I'm doing..
but there is a voice saying that God is not done yet with me..
to fulfil His purpose in me.
But i kept asking.. What is my calling???
Why am I here?
Well.. to be sure, I'm here with a purpose..
to glorify His name and spread the gospel..

But why the path looks so uncertain?
There are lots of stumbling stones..
and though there are many companies, still, i feel alone..
or maybe, it's just me who's feeling down.
down to the bottom.. too tired to get up.

I know that I'm not supposed to feel this way..
but sometimes, it's hard to control your mood.. your emotion.. your feelings..


I dunno what has got into me.

I've been writing endlessly..

I could write this thing for the entire night.
But I'm tired.. mentally and physically..

Thus, please don't remind or correct me for any grammar or spelling error.. No. Not for now..
I'm stopping now, just because i have to do it.

or else, I'll ended up getting frustated when the dawn has come.

G'nite..

toilet bowl= dangerously dangerous..

hola semuaaaaaaa.. huahahahahh..
Jiwa ngeblog gw uda kembali lagi setelah mengelana begitu jauhhh...
but then, tiba2 ada 1 problem. which isss...

I dunno what to write.

is it a common problem? well, i guess it is!
anyway..

i just wanna let u know that.. akhir2 gw agak bermasalah ama toilet gw..
I mean, toilet bowl gw. seolah2 gw musuhan gitu.. (actually, it's totally my fault sih.)

gw inget banget waktu gw masi SMA. Gw ketawa ampe ngakak pas denger kalo bbrp temen gw bisa unintentionally nyemplungin hp mereka ke toilet bowls di sekolah, di mall, dirumah, dimanasaja (dan kapansajaaaa). Anyway, nope, hp gw ga nyemplung ke toilet bowl kok. no. not today. and (hopefully) not tomorrow.. or the day after.

tapi, sebagai gantinya, there are some stuff yang bisa tiba2 terjun bebas ke toilet bowl dirumah gw.

korban pertama: tissue toilet.

It was so huge (and New!!! Huhuhuhu). korban ini tadinya sedang bertengger dengan alimnya diatas loundry bag di sebelah toilet bowl. Dannn, tiba2 kesenggol oleh diri saya, korban langsung terjun bebas kedalam toilet bowl.
Peribahasa "sambil menyelam minum air" langsung dipraktekkann.
Hal ini terjadi pada pukul 8.27 pagi WM (Waktu Maroubra), dan langsung di pensiunkan ke tong sampah terdekat.

I was like"aaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh!!!!! Nooooooo!!!!!!" n*geleng2 dengan liar*

Korban kedua: W juliet.

Datz it. I'm not telling u itu jilid keberapa.. TT.TT rasanya merana banget (dan jijaiiii). Ga lagi2 d nyentuh itu buku. *merinding*.
kurang lebih, detail kejadiannya mirip. hanya saja,

me: "lalalalala.." *ngaca*
suaraTakDikenal: "p l u n g..."
me: *loading* "suara darimana itu?" *mata ngelirik ke asal muasal tpt buku itu diletakkan.


and it's gone..



me: "aaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhh!!! Not againnnn??!!"

tebak saudara2 sekaliannnn.. buku itu nyemplung (begitu aja) tanpa gw apa2in. disentuh kaga, disenggolpun juga kaga!!!

buku ini tidak terjun bebas. Buku ini cuma meluncur dengan bebasnya dari puncak tumpukan baju2 diatas loundry bag. My fault jg.. coz gw naro w juliet diatas baju2 tsb.

Perihh.. pedih rasanya..
rasa sakit di dada..
saat kulihat benda2 berluncuran ke..
keee...
...
oke. ke tempat pembuangan akhirr (read: toilet bowl) -> not the best alias name ever. But, whatever..

toliet bowlku, oh toilet bowlku..
apakah salahku??
sehingga kau renggut sisa masa depresiasi asset2 toiletku?

Fin~


ah, tauk ah. capek bikin puisinya.. bayanginnya aja uda beribu rasa dihati [jijai ya iya, berasa dodol juga iya, nyesel jg iya (banget, malah) nano nano abisss.. ramai rasanya]

Pesan Moral: Toilet bowl.. memiliki fungsi lain apabila hal2 mentioned above really happens in your toilet. Waspadalahhh!!!!

inti kata: Toilet bowl=irritatingly dangerous for your stuff (if u dun keep them properly)
PS: maapkan daku klo ngeblog masalah benda2 nyemplung toilet/b. coz some ppl do experience it..

*merinding*
...
Hola semuaaa... ^^

gimana kabare? I hope u are all goooood...
well.. buat post yang kali ini, gw mau cerita about the importance of context dalam membedakan arti nomer..

why?
now u see...
ada 3 gambar dibawah.. ketiga2nya tu berhubungan dengan nomer kan? but then, they have three different meanings..
-> yang ini klo u dial nomer telepon orang..

-> yang ini nomer meja..

OR

-> yang ini definitely nomer lotto..

Nah, they are all numbers. Aren't they??

Nah.. the new issue is.. Kenapa tiba2 gw mw nulis tentang ini?
answer:
hal ini diawali pada suatu hari cerah nan indah di Sydney.. TT_TT *sigh*

Pada suatu hari nan indahh (ehem.. last Sunday), gw n temen2 gereja gw pegi lunch.. pada awalnya, kita berniat buat makan di restoran Austria yang ada di suburb di deketnya leichardt..
but then, since it turned out that the restaurant was closed (every Sunday), kita pegi ke leichardt buat lunch.. waktu itu, kita bingung banget mau makan di resto mana..

so, abis muter2 milih2 resto, kita makan di bar italia..

gw mesen makanan.. and the convo continued this way..


me: "Erm.. can I have a number?"
TheGe-erGuyBehindTheCashRegisterer (TGGBTCR): "what? my number? Nooo... no. Not today." geleng2*
me: ??????? *bengong* "hah? Nononononoo.. I mean, the number. For my orders. The table number.." *nunjuk bon pesenan gw*
TGGBTCR:"o, oooooo.." *kekna baru connect* "nope. We will know straight away that it's your orders and we will give it to u." *nunjuk kepalanya dengan pede*
me: "oh. ok". *berasa dodol karena disangka minta nomer telpon orang* lalala... *kaburrrr (with my mocca ofcoz)*

u seeeeeeeeeee????? huhuhuhu... gw disangka nanyain nomer telepon diaaa!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh!!!!! Tidakkk!!!!
mukanya cakep aja kaga. Enak diliatpun enggak! *merinding*
lagian jg gw uda ada co gitu. ngapain jg gw minta no telp co ga dikenal??? *yaikks!!!*
tapi ada satu hal yang jelas.. dalem ati gw, gw mencak2 ga keruan karena gw (mebbe) bakal disangka desperet buat nyari kenalan co ama orang2 di restonya (padahal kagaaaaa). Cehhhh!!!! huh!

Pesan Moral: I have no idea. ermm.. to avoid this, mebbe we can start by finding out which restaurant doesn't use numbers for the food orders? :P Or, we can kasi sumbangan cotton bud ke orang2 yang kita ajakin ngomong. It might be a good start. >.<
PS: Context is important!!!!

Inga.. Inga!!!! cap kaki kebo!!!! *????*

Hola semuaaaaaaaaaa.. huehehehehe...

it's friday (again) yayyy!!!! Summer school will end soon (and so my long long weekends...)

anywayyy... gw pengen cerita ttg cerminan perasaan hati gw kemaren yang bercampur aduk bak es cendol.. ato es alpukat.. ato es teler.. haaaaaaaahhh.. jd pengen makan..

O well, but, eniweis, kemaren gw menjalani hari uni gw seperti biasa.. lalu jalan2 ama temen2 gereja gw yang happened to be my neighbours across the street. It was fun, dan inti kata, gw menikmati hari gw..

yang kaga "like usual" adalah, dipagi2 hari, gw tiba2 ada preferences pengen denger lagunya casting crowns di ipod gw which is like once in a blue moon. (padahal tadinya jazz.. n tiba2 banget gw pengen ganti lagu.. pokoke, craving lagu casting crowns gw harus dipenuhi!!! well.. begitu si yang ada di otak gw..). Herannya adalah, gw bukan tipe orang yang biasanya bakal pilih lagu2 yang mau gw denger berdasarkan cd. Biasanya, gw cuma puter itu lagu dari A ampe Z (sebodo tuing mau genre apa. Well.. kadang2 gw cuma milih antara genre jazz or christian songs.. But, biasanya gw puter lagu berdasar urutan abjad).

dan tiba2 terdengar lagu "If We Are The Body" yang liriknya:

If We Are The Body

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

Chorus (2x)
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus is the way

Kata2nya baguuussss...
lagunya juga enak.. makanya dengan wajah penuh satisfaction bak doggy dibawah... itu lagu gw serep dalem2..

it's a very good reminder for us buat evangelise ppl..

dan yah, tiba2 teringat klo 2 minggu yang lalu, gw jd MC buat tema friendship evangelism yang ended up berubah total. But, as i listened to this song, gw tiba2 pengen nyanyiin ini lagu di pemuda. But, kata2nya lebi kek buat lagu panggung instead of puji2an. So, gw cancel niat gw. Tapi, kapan yang the next time gw tugas lagi? hmmm.. it's impossible klo gw tugas lagi (secara ada 3 mc so far)..

But then, out of the blue, gw tiba2 bisa ga percaya ama pemikiran gw diatas. So, gw jadi ragu2 n mikir: "sabtu ini sapa yang mc yak?" padahal biasanya gw inget kapan gw mc, makanya ga peduli lagi..
hehehehe.. yah, like usual.. saya orangnya clumsy2 pelupa gitu..dan uda lupa total ama jadwal tugas..

So, pas malemnya, gw tanya ama co ccku yang bikin jadwal. gw nanya whether he is the MC for this saturday.. and he told me klo dia ga tugas sama sekali di bulan febuari. So, that leaves the conclusion klo gw yang tugas. (as yang MC mg lalu ga mungkin mc lagi minggu ini. It's too much!)

Well, at the beggining, i know that gw baru aja ditugasin 2 mg lalu. makanya i tot gw bakal tugas lagi minggu depan or bbrp mg lagi. as soon as I reached the conclusion part, kalang kabut bangetd gw buat ngurusin lagunya..
Apalagi, pemusik gw cm ada 1 (gitar) n ga ada pianis. so, i was like: "????" n pas gw ngomong2 lagi ama the onli pemusik i have, ternyata di hari dia tugas, dia mau pindahan rumah. Waaks!!!! So, berbekal tekad yang kuat (dan ketidak sadaran klo uda jem setenga 12 malem), gw telpon temen gw yang bisa maen piano yang ternyata uda bobo.. (maapkan saya temaaaaaaaaaannnnnn.. huhuhhuuuu.. didn't mean to bother ur beauty sleep.. berkatmu besar di surga d.. ) dan yayyy!!! dia mau jadi pemusik darurat gw!!! Wooooohooooo!!!! *joget jogettt*

ehem..
Kesiapan mental gw belon kelar.

o well.. but enihow, Thanks God banget karena gw sadar klo gw tugas sabtu ini.. klo gw ga sadar klo gw tugas, there will be no pemusik, no mc, no singer, no etc etc etc.. and I'll probably be late to pemuda (karena mau jalan2 etc etc.. hhehehehe). well.. cara Tuhan ngingetin kita ttg hal2 kok lucu jg ya? hehehe..

Pesan Moral: ehem.. always check and remember u'r schedule? i mean, for whatever it is.. hehehehe...

ehem.. well.. gw sadar si klo judul entry yang ini ga nyambung banget ama isi post kali ini. maapkan daku kalo judul post kali ini mengundang pikiran yang tidak2. e.g: mengingat menurut tradisi cina sekarang taon kebo, makanya jadi maniak kebo gitu.. well.. use u'r imagination and be creative!!! Yoshh!!

Chinese new year day / Australia day..

Heyya alll... Huehehehehe...

untuk hari ini, gw membuat sebuah puisi. Dan yah, berhubung bahasa Indonesia saya kurang begitu bagus dengan EYD gagal, rasanya jadi malu. mbwahahahhh.. :P eniweiss.. happy reading!

Ngaco forever..

For once in my life.. and for the very first time in my life...
kulihat bendera2 Australia berukuran mini
berdampingan dengan lampion2 merah model2 cina jadul yang agak modern.

hatiku berasa aneh.. bimbang dan ragu..
Langkah kakiku melambat..
otakku berputar cepat,
dan hatiku bertanya..
...

SIAPA SEH YANG NGURUSIN INTERIOR DESIGN INI AMPE JADI KEK GITU??? Ga nyambung abissssss hiasannya...

However, that's not important..

Happy Chinese New Yearrrr semuaaaa!!! Xin Nian Kuai Le!! Gong Xi Fat Choiiii!!! Hong bao na laiiiiii..

lalala.. kalimat diatas uda serasa jadi 'template' di otak gw seharian ini.
Tiap kali gw ketemu orang, biasanya orang2 ingat kalo hari ini = Chinese New Year.
Sayangnya, entah kenapa, gw ga gitu berasa ada aura sincia di Sydney ampe gw sering lupa kalo hari ini= sincia. Why? karena disaat gw berskating2 ria di Macquarie, ada bbrp orang bule yang either diwajah or di tangannya ada tatoo bendera Ausie. dan none of them punya tato gambar kebo (kan katanya orang2, taon ini taon kebo). Lagian, hiasan sincia jg kekna ga ampe memonopoli mall2 di Sydney. dan yahh.. balik lagi ke point semula, topik ini kaga penting jg si.

Well.. I just wanna share u all my experience when i play ice skating for the very first time. Urm, technically, it's the second time. But, well.. the first time i play ice skating was when i was about 7 years old. I have never been able to play roller blade (tried to, but i failed miserably). So, as i couldn't slide dijalanan, gimana mungkin gw bisa maen skating? This.. results in omelan bokap ke gw gara2 gw langsung berenti maen skating within the first 10 minutes i got into the skating arena. Bies, udah jatoh, ga bisa ngeslide, tiang pegangannya tinggi banget (o iya, dulu gw tu pendek banget btw), skating arenanya rame banget lg!! So, i can't really say that i skated down there.

So, untuk pertama kalinya seumur idup gw, gw ngeslide diatas es!!!! Woohooooooo!!!
Kita (my church friends and me, there were 5 of us), maen skating di Macquarie for 1 hour.
ternyata skating itu challenging bangettttttttt... dan kecepatan orang buat belajar ngeskate itu sangat bervariasi. Contohnya, 4 temen gw, they are all sooooooooo gooooooooddd.. I mean, walo awal2nya mereka cuma ngeslide pelan2 di pinggiran ring, they learnt fast. within the first 30 mins, frequency nabrak (or melok) dinding ring itu uda jauhhhhhhhh berkurang. Sedangkan gw? hahahahhh.. almost every dunno how many seconds, gw pasti nendang dinding ring, trus melok dindingnya. ngaco abis d.. Kecepatan melaju gwpun minim banget.. when i slide, i slide backwards.. then forward.. (ampe temen gw bingung kok gw mesti mundur 5 cm dulu sebelon maju 15 cm @.@'). ngaco d.. Uda gitu, gw nabrak anak kecil pula.. haiyahhh.. *garuk2*

Kesimpulan: Some ppl are very good at sports, body balancing (crucial for skating), studying, etc etc etc.. and some ppl are just not good at those things.

But.. If we put a great effort to do something, we will, eventually, be able to do it nicely. hahahahahhh.. In this case, ga tau d gw mesti berapa kali skating biar bisa ngeluncur tanpa pegangan or tanpa split or jatoh.. Well.. Like what ppl say. Practice makes perfect. ^^

O yeah.. lupa bilang..
maen skating bikin tangan gw sakit.. gw bingung kok yang laen cuma pegel kakinya doang? hahahhhh.. kaki gw sakit karena sepatunya keras. But... tangan gw pegel bangetttttt...

Ah, tauk ah.. uda mule ngantuk.. gw uda kek mumbling around doang.. Uda ga ada topik, matanya sipit2 pengen bobo2, ngantukkk, taunya topik blog entry yang ini uda diverted abis dari tujuan semula. haihhh..
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaag...

My otak feels mumeeeeeeeeeet.... >.<'

Hola semuaaaaaaaaa... Been a looooong time ga nulis blog. And i notice that bbrp kali terakhir, gw selalu bilang klo ada banyak banget yang mw diceritain. But then, i ended up stopped writing n left my entries just like that! hehehehe.. my bad, my bad, my bad.. tsk tsk tsk tsk.. *geleng2*

Eniweiis...
bbrp hari terakhir ini rasanya panas bangetttt... Menurut weather forecast, max: 38.
And u know what? berdasarkan termometer mobil temen gw (sebut aja namanya E), suhu di sydney di siang hari adalah 43. Huahahahahhh...

And i have no idea why, yesterday (Saturday), seems like a veeeeeeeeery bad day for me to go out. *sigh*

Well.. I woke up at 10. At 11ish, I went out to have lunch with my church friends to Kingsford. The weather was freakingly hot. So, i ended up wearing a long skirt as i couldn't find a shorter one. (nope, i didn't stepped on a jumbo poop again. Dun worry fellas). O yea, but then, since i was schedulled to be the MC for pemuda, i have to get the church's keys before my practice time (3Pm) at Kingsford. Plus, for some reason, i have to get the keys before 12pm.

As I said before, i went to Kingsford at 11ish. Thus, i get there by 11.10ish and was 20 mins early. So, I walked to the church and play around with the piano, alone. so sad huh? But i enjoyed it.. ^^ It feels good to fiddle around with the piano with no one around u.

Then, i met my friends and had lunch. After lunch, we went to the city for a Chinese festival. It was interesting. However, i was short of time. So, i went back from the city earlier. I waited for the bus (the ads says that the busses should arrive every 10-15 mins) for 25 mins and i turned up half an hour late for the practice. As if that's not bad enough, my printer at home doesn't work. So, i had to print out the songs at church. And guess what? The Church's printer is in chaos. (what i mean by chaos is that the printer prints very badly. Most of the words are blurry, some parts of the paper are smudgy with ink. yikes.. i felt sorry for the musicians who have to read all the chords on it).
Afterwards, as i wanted to make jot notes on my paper, it turns out that my pen's ink is somewhat rebelling against me which makes my pen to be useless. So, i had to find a new pen, any pen, to use. I really felt like screaming at the time. Too bad i had a sore throat and lost my voice sometimes. So, i really have to take a good care of my voice as i have no singers at all.. o well..

Not bad enough??? Yesssssssss.... only about 45 mins before pemuda starts, I was told that there is a sudden change of plan. The theme of the week for the preaching was changed! The preacher was unavailable to come. So, we played a recording of someone else's preaching about a different theme. So, basically, the songs I've prepared are no longer relevant to the topic. (well.. still relevant after i think more about it.. But still.. it's different.). But yeahh.. gotta stick to my original plan and song lists.

And.. yeahh.. during dinner, i had a headache.. >.<
o well.. But I have one good news!
that's it! That's all and nothing more!! Thanks God, the nite was cool enough to calm me down. My brain was over heated and i ended up being all moody and stuff. Was a bit angry at myself. But, hey.. can't really do it forever. :)

Anyway, on the second thought, yesterday was not too bad afterall. There are many more ppl who are in a much worse conditions and situations than mine (example: Job in the Old Testament, ppl who have lost their families, etc etc). Through yesterday, I learnt to be patient and to rely more on God and learnt to see the bright things over all the things happened yesterday. Basically, I have to do lots and lots of positive thinking .. *take a deeeeeeep breathhhh*

Through what happened yesterday, I've noticed that I often count more of the calamity instead of all the blessings God has given me. I whine like the whole day and didn't really give thanks from the bottom of my heart to God for everything. I feel bad about it. So, I need to count the blessings I've got everyday!! And I'm 100% sure that all the blessings are abundant, massive, uncountable, and are overflowing everywhere. I mean it's just a way toooooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhh... ^^

Yesterday's solution: count our blessings each day and compare it to us. I mean, we are all sinful ppl. We can and we do get angry. We keep asking questions of why things happen in our lives and not being grateful for what we have. Why on earth should we get those blessings?? God is NOT obliged to bless us like what He did!! We are too bad to get all of those.. Well.. simple answer, because God loves us and because of His grace and mercy for us..

Wait. I've just thought something. What would other ppl do if they experience bad things in a series of sequences within a day? what would they do? how would they react? Will they just calm down and let things go like nothing has ever happened? Ow I wish i could do that. it's difficult to do it. I really need to do lots of improvements about my character. No one is perfect and no one will ever be one.

Anyway, I've been mumbling around for the last 2 hours. gotta stop at one point and i think it has to be now.

Bye all.. Sorry for the 'moody' blog post for today. Nitey Nite..
