klo ada yg punya msn gw, pasti dah baca nick gw...
"give thanks"... gw sengaja nulis itu, as a reminder buat gw.... biar selalu give thanks to God atas apa yg dah dikasi ke gw... i am soooooo blessed... and sumtimes, i forgot to give thanks.. bukannya bersyukur atas apa yg gw punya, gw malah ngeluh atas apa yg gw ga punya... (yaaahhh gt deh yg namanya manusia... ga pernah puas...) =_='
belakangan, beberapa org bilang ke gw buat jangan telalu mikirin yg berat2...
padahal gw ga pernah cerita apa2 ma org2... i guess, tampang gw keliatan bgt klo lagi mikirin masalah2 gt... hahaha... (penyakit turunan...) :p
dan hari ini, gw disadarin lagi, klo gw itu bleeeeeeesssssedddd bgt!!!...
bayangin aja, ada org yg mau dengerin gw hampir 2 jam di telpon.... padahal dengerin gw cerita itu bukan sesuatu yg gampang... biasanya klo gw cerita, pasti suka bikin org laen jadi kesel... dan ini org dengan tabah en sabarnya dengerin gw berceloteh... hahaha... thx ya...
trus, ada yg care ke gw, dengan nanyain kabar gw... ada yg approach gw, en nasehatin buat jgn telalu stres... klo gw kadang berpikir ga ada yg peduli ama gw, terbukti klo gw salah total!!!
banyak yg peduli... tergantung, gw milih u/ terima sikap mereka sebagai kepedulian, ato malah nganggep mereka cuma cerewetin gw...
gt juga dengan loe.. iya, LOE, yg lagi baca blog ini... mau terus ngasihanin diri lu, en ngambek ma Tuhan klo lu ga dipeduliin... ato mo mulai buka mata lu, telinga lu en hati lu buat nerima care, love, en grace yg Tuhan kasi, salah satunya melalui org2 disekitar loe... sadarin klo lu itu so blessed... en give thanks... :)

weight loss vs character change...
hari ini, ada yg comment klo gw kurusan... (senangnya!!)
err.. malesh ga seh?? hahaha... well, sebenernya biasa aja sih...
tp ada senengnya juga, artinya gw berhasil mempertahankan pola makan yg nykp gw coba jejelin wkt gw di indo... hahaha... (ma, nv berhasil so far!! ^^)
Hmm... sebenernya ga planning nulis ini sih... tp tiba2 aja kepengen...
lagi mikir ttg relationship antara weight loss n perubahan karakter...
(suka mikir yg ga penting sih emang... hahaha)
yg pasti, persamaan yg bisa gw temuin di keduanya adalah,
dua2nya butuh process, ga terjadi instantly... en kadang kita ga nyadar, tp org di sekitar kita yg bakal notice duluan....
Hmm.. intinya sih, gw cuma pengen bikin org2 yg baca ini blog ikutan mikir....
en sadar akan hal ini...
mgkn ada dari kita yg niat bgt nurunin berat badan (for whateva reason), tp nyoba dengan cara2 yg instant.... it might work for a while, tp akhirannya pasti bakal balik lagi... u/ ilangin berat badan en lemak2 yg numpuk itu, diperluin a constant work... olahraga yg teratur, pola makan yg bener yg dilakuin continuously... gitu juga dengan perubahan karakter ke arah yg lebih baik... ga bakal terjadi dalam sekejap mata... diperluin process yg kadang suka ga enak... tp itulah yg ngebentuk karakter kita jadi lebih kuat en kokoh, ga gampang goyah en balik ke karakter yg lama... so.... pesen gw... jangan pernah capek, don't ever give up.... apapun usaha kita, pasti akan membuahkan hasil suatu saat nanti... hehehe :p

hehehe :p

everlasting love...
pada suatu sore... gw lagi liat2 buku di suatu book shop...
trus, terjadilah conversation between gw en si penjaga bookshop (namanya Ian)...
Ian: i've read a book written by an indian priest, who write about why the marriage in india has a lower case of divorce compare to americans...
Gw: (manggut2)
Ian: he wrote that in India, most marriages are arrange marriage, the couple dont love each other at the beginning, they dont even know each other. Therefore the couple realise that they need to work hard to make their marriage works and results from that they start to know, understand and love each other...
While in America, it's the other way around... they love each other before they decided to get married... after they get married, they never really work thru their marriage, so they ended up lost their love and passion to each other...
Gw: hmmm... an interesting explanation...
Gw ga pernah sih kepikiran ttg hal tsb... tp, it makes sense sih... gw jadi inget ama blog yg pernah gw baca... yg nulis ttg love tank itu musti di isi terus.... klo pada awal relationship love tank itu penuh, during the relationship pasti bakal ada minus2nya... nah, pada wkt ada minusnya, kita musti nambahin lagi lovenya biar jadi penuh lagi... (tanki cinta by Windra S.)... jadi... yg namanya everlasting love tuh, ga mustahil, but we need to work hard for it...

complicated...
people said it is simple,
but i made it complicated...
i don't really understand myself sumtimes....
i don't really know where to go...
i don't really know what to do...
and i don't really know how i should be...
what i do know is that...
i need Your guidance Lord
i need Your love
i need You...
and You are MORE than enough to me...

sunset @uni
skrg gw lagi di uni... en ga seharusnya gw nulis di blog, tp lagi pengen... karena otak gw lagi hang, jadi ga bisa dipake buat nulis yg berat2 kayak assignment... hehehe alesan bgt ya??
Ga berasa, skrg dah mulai winter nih di Melb... mulai dingin.... kmrn aja max 20 derajat... hari ini sih ok lah, max 25... tp skrg baru jam 5 lwt dah mo sunset... langit dah mulai merah... artinya, mulai skrg, gw bakal banyak tidur lagi deh.. hehehe (kayak biasanya ga pernah banyak tdr aja...)
Pengen cerita neh... masi berkisar ttg ultah gw... suasananya masi berasa neh... abisnya kmrn, abis peka, ternyata ada yg bawa kue ultah buat gw... which means, kue ke-4 gw... trus gw dapet kado yg paling besar dari smua kado yg gw pernah terima... it is... LOYANG KUE!!! hehehe ^_^ gw seneng bgt!!! ga ngerti kan knp gw bisa seneng bgt?? ya iya lah!! gimana ga seneng coba?? akhirnya gw bisa punya loyang kue sendiri... lengkap pula!! dari loyang cookies, loyang muffin, sampe loyang bolu smuanya ada... bener2, it's another surprise for me!! gw ga pernah kepikiran bakal ada yg ngasi gw loyang kue... thanks a lot guys!!! gw usahain, begitu assignment gw selese, gw bakal bikin kue lagi deh... hehehe ^_^ jadi semangat neh bikin kue... dah lama bgt gw ga pernah menyentuh mixer en loyang2 kue yg sering jadi sahabat gw klo gw lagi stress... (btw, gw klo stress, biasanya bikin kue buat refreshing.. tp skrg lagi bener2 ga ada wkt n tenaga.. -_-)
hmm... apalagi ya?? gw punya sih banyak hal yg pengen gw ketik...
ttg hidup gw... kemaren ini, gw turn 20... which means gw ga bisa lagi ngaku2 "teenager"... artinya gw musti lebi responsible ama sikap n perkataan gw... bukan lagi kayak teenager yg bisa semaunya ndiri...
trus... pas ultah gw, ada yg ngasi gw kartu en isinya bilang gini, "it's a blessing to know you"... sumhow, it touched me... seumur hidup, kayaknya belom pernah ada org yg bilang gt ke gw... mgkn pernah ada yg bilang how lucky they are to know me... but ga pernah ada org yg bilang mereka felt blessed... en suatu kalimat yg singkat itu, tiba2 bikin gw nyadar en mikir... gw serasa dibangunin dari tidur gw... gw jadi bertanya2 dalem hati... "is it true??"... selama 20 taon ini gw hidup di dunia ini, seberapa sering sih gw make pemberian Tuhan ini buat jadi blessings buat org laen?? gw berasa, yg ada juga, gw cuma bisanya bikin susah org laen doank... tp i'm glad sih, klo emang org yg nulis kartu itu really mean what he/she wrote... that means, at least, dari sekian banyak org yg pernah gw lalui hidupnya, ada satu org yg mendapat blessing melalui gw.. :)

surprise!!!
Melbourne, 14 April 2007
Tanggal di pojok kiri atas adalah hasil rekayasa belaka.... hehehe :p
Iya nih... sebenernya gw pengennya nulis pas the end of the day on 14 April 2007, tpnya gw kecapekan en ga sempet buat nulis karena gw ketiduran begitu pulang dari foundation... hehehe...
Well, spt yg sebagian dari kalian tw, gw ber-ultah 2 hari yg lalu... en i was too tired to expect anything from my friends... yg ada di kepala gw tuh Cuma tugas en istirahat... i dont even remember about it klo ga ada yg ingetin en ngungkit2...
So, gini ceritanya... pada malem sebelom 14 april, gw lagi nyoba ngerjain assignment gw... tp akhirnya gw ngantuk en decided buat tdr beberapa jam en bangun subuh2... nah, akhirnya gw tdr jam 11an... ehhh tengah malem, hp gw bergetar2 membangunkan gw, ternyata telpon n sms dari temen2 buat ngucapin “hepi bday”... so, gw accept en gw tdr lagi.... gw merem-melek2 berkali2 gara2 hp yg bergetar... trusnya, gw mencoba buat tdr lagi... sebelom gw sempet terlelap, tiba2 ada yg buka pintu kamar gw, en dengan kurang ajarnya masuk kamar en narik selimut gw!!! Reflex gw lgs ngeluh, “Gw masi mo tdr!!!” >_< Guys, klo kalian niat surprise-in gw... kalian berhasil telak!!! Hahaha... thx bgt ya... i really didnt expect anything... it was so sweet that kalian capek2 abis nganter Poink, masi sempet2nya singgah buat ngebangunin gw... ^_^ Begitu bgn, gw lgs disodorin kue yg dah berlilin... dan gw dipaksa buat niup sebelom lilinnya abis... trus ga tw gimana, tw2 kuenya dah terpotong2 en lenyap... hahaha... Ini surprise buat gw yg pertama...
Trusnya... temen2 pada pulang, gw berkutat dengan assignment lagi... gw stay mpe 5am en ketdran... bgn lagi dah jam 7am en dah saatnya buat ke kampus, karena gw ada dairy prac... hari itu bener2 special!!! Biasanya gw ga ada kelas pas sabtu, tp i guess karena hari itu bday gw, jadi ada kelas d... hahaha... Kelasnya mayan ok sih... walo otak gw masi rada konslet karena kurang tdr... kita evaluate pizza cheese en ended up makan pizza en ice cream, disertai soft drinks...
Selese kelas, gw masi ada group meeting... karena selama easter break kelompok gw ga meeting, jadinya kita meeting en catch up yg ketinggalan pas sabtu itu... Tak di expect lagi... ternyata temen2 gw yg dr RmiT juga nyiapin kue buat gw!!! Oh tidak!!! Bener2 deh, kok bisa ya gw KENA dua kali!?! Thank you all!!! Appreciate it so much!! Apalagi buat VQ yg dah repot2 pergi beli kue en minjem piso, en felix yg dengan muka tebal minta tissue ke cafe... hehehe :p That was the 2nd surprise...
Trusnya... gw stay di library smp jam 4an, trus pulang...
Otw pulang, ada temen gw yg namanya Angga nelpon... ternyata dy lagi di ct juga, en ngajakin jalan bareng ke arah greja... berhubung rmh dy di Burwood, greja gw di Glenferrie, katanya sih lewat... gw pikir, oke juga lah.... jadi gw ga usah naek train... (i thought it’s gonna be faster)... trusnya ternyata gw malah telat setengah jam buat foundation... trusnya guess what?! Si Angga tuh emang deh, dasaaarrr... dy ngajakin jalan bareng soalnya mo ngasi kado.... really, it’s another surprise for me... ga expect aja dy bakal niat bgt ngasi kado pas hari itu juga, padahal senen kan masi bisa ketemu... tp gpp deh, dah dianterin mpe greja dg selamat.. hehehe :p thx ya Ga... ^_^
Trusnya, the last one... Abis foundation, tw2 Ci Lenny berjalan membawa kue yg berlilin ke arah gw, en tiba2 smua org sang “happy bday”... (Yg gw ga ngerti, kok gw bisa sih dodol bgt?! Ga kepikiran en ga curiga ama skali loh!!! Gw ga nyangka 4-5 meter di depan gw ada kue... hahaha)
Tengkiuuuu so much ppl!!! All i can say is my bday wasnt special till u guys made it special... ^_^ sampe temen2 yg dari Brisbane aja niat2in nelp gw... thx bgt loh ya... :)
PS: buat Xty, thx ya kadonya... buat Lukman n Ci Lenny, thx celengannya.... kebetulan bgt gw lagi butuh satu... jadi musti mulai nabung neh... hehehe :p trus buat smuanya yg ngasi gw kalung, thx juga ya... moga2 gw ga lupa make pas jumat... trus, buat yg ngasi gw gelang, thx juga :) oiya, buat melanie, thx coklatnya... enak bgt!! ^_^ last but not least, buat Angga, thx cd Norah Jones-nya... enak bgt!! :)

a Christian..
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living.'"
I'm whispering "I was lost,
now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living.'"
I'm whispering "I was lost,
now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

bertambah usia...
hmm... here i am again... di malam hari tanggal 13 april.... malam sebelom usia gw resmi bertambah satu... hehehe :p
well, sebenernya ga ada yg special sih.... gw bener2 berasa biasa aja.... even gw sempet lupa, klo bukan gara2 temen2 gw yg ngingetin... ato nykp gw yg mengungkit2... karena, bsk tuh gw bakal ngejalanin rutinitas gw kayak biasa... mana ada kelas lagi!! tp gpp, di kelas bsk, gw bakal nyicip2 keju lagi... tp kejunya bakalan pizza cheese, jadi i guess selese kelas, kita bakal makan2 pizza... hahaha... serunya...
trus ya, td mgkn tampang gw serem bgt kali ya?? mgkn gw keliatan capek n cemberut... ada 2 hal yg bikin gw jadi seneng en start to get excited... hal kecil sih... yg pertama, td gw jalan pulang dari greja, 5 menit lagi trainnya dtg, jadinya gw buru2 gt... trus jarang2, ada org tak dikenal nyapa gw n senyum gt ke gw... tuh co nanya, "hey, how r u?"... simple sih... tp bikin gw seneng.. even tuh org ga kenal gw, ada gt yg peduli ama gw... :) trusnya, pas di lift wkt mo ke atas... ada 2 org bule gt... trus mereka turun satu lantai sebelom gw, trus sebelom keluar dari lift org yg atunya bilang, "have a good nite" ke gw... again... simple thing that made me smile... :)
Gw thank God aja... saat rasanya hidup ini biasa aja, datar aja... Dia selalu ingetin gw... klo gw ini special di mataNya... buktinya, Dia dah nunjukin careNya melalui org2 di sekitar gw... walo org2 itu ga kenal gw, n gw ga kenal mereka... :)
well, sebenernya ga ada yg special sih.... gw bener2 berasa biasa aja.... even gw sempet lupa, klo bukan gara2 temen2 gw yg ngingetin... ato nykp gw yg mengungkit2... karena, bsk tuh gw bakal ngejalanin rutinitas gw kayak biasa... mana ada kelas lagi!! tp gpp, di kelas bsk, gw bakal nyicip2 keju lagi... tp kejunya bakalan pizza cheese, jadi i guess selese kelas, kita bakal makan2 pizza... hahaha... serunya...

eXtraOrdinary...
Gw baru aja balik dari ret2 di Goldcoast (QLD)... begitu balik, 1jam kemudian gw dah berada di uni, en 2 jam kemudian, gw dah berada di dalem lecture room... (rajin kan gw???) huehehe :p
Anyway.... banyak sih yg pengen gw bagiin dari pengalaman di ret2 ini, cuma klo gw ceritain smuanya, kayaknya yg baca bakal berkunang2 deh matanya saking panjangnya...
Basically, intinya, kita itu sebagai manusia yg normal, seharusnya punya hidup yg XO (extra ordinary)... klo kita suka ngerasa bosen ama hidup yg biasa2 aja, datar2 aja.... itu artinya, sudah saatnya bagi kita untuk berubah (to change)... berubah yg seperti apa?? yaah berubah yg semakin menyerupai image pencipta kita (imago dei)...
Well, segitu deh summary singkat tentang apa yg gw dapet di ret2.. hehehe :p
Pas ret2, smua yg diajarin sih berasa oke2 aja... rasanya it's not too hard to gain an XO life... tp... pas dah balik ke kehidupan sehari2... berasa bgt susahnya... susah bgt nyari wkt u/ sate... susah bgt nyelipin wkt buat stop n think n be thankful for what He's done... ga gampang emang, tp pasti bisa deh... moga2 aja api smangatnya ga ilang tertiup badai kehidupan... hehehe :p
we often think that we are just ordinary people,
but with God, we can gain extraodinary lives...

felt worn out....
rasanya tepar bgt gw hari ini...
padahal ga ngapa2in...
gw lagi mellow bgt nih...
pernah ga sih, ngerasa pengen ditemenin, tp pengen sendiri juga??
sebenernya gw ga lagi lonely2 bgt, tp rasanya sepi...
tp gw juga lagi ga pengen rame2...
pengennya ngindarin org...
lagi pengen diem aja...
knp ya?? ga gw bgt gt loh!! hahaha...
pengen ngontakin org2, tp takut ganggu...
lagian, gw dah ga ada tenaga buat ngomong,
en ga pny konsentrasi buat dengerin....
kayaknya, di saat2 kayak gini, yg harus gw lakuin a/ tidur...
ga usah banyak mikir... hahaha...

the full moon shines brightly in the night sky
and i'm here, wondering why my heart felt dark and empty
