Do you need fashion shower?

Since moving here to Birmingham, fashion & design websites including blogs are my daily bread. I can't (sometimes I want to) stop myself reading the current news, trends, issues going on (cos it's too many!!) but I just could not stop it or else there will be some important news I missed..
So of course I'm fully aware of H&M collaboration with fashion icons this year and as I was satisfied with H&M x Lanvin pieces, I was also expecting so much for its collaboration with Anna Dello Russo (Editor-in-chief Vogue Japan).. I could say the collection was beautifully designed, it gave you this sophisticated feeling.. I guess. but I didn't expect the quality would be that humble.. :( Anyway despite of all buzz going around, I just want to share the clips of Anna DR x H&M - Fashion Shower Accessories collection. I think you should see this.. and appreciate yourself more. xoxo

Love for London

You know what, I used to dream of visiting London and wondering when it would happened.
It was happened eventually and I can't describe how blessed and overwhelming my feeling is everytime I visit this city! So let me show you a bit glance of this wonderful city!! *guessed this is gonna be my longest post* but I bet you'll like it ;)

Buckingham Palace

pic explains everything

During my first visit to London, I went to Warner Bros Studio Tour - The Making of Harry Potter and it was simply awesomeeee! thumbs up for the people behind the scene who designed, created, imagined, and made the story on books became reality.. *speechless*

Laduree <3>

Since I have yet to visit Paris this year *pray for next year*, Laduree London is a must visit for people like me. I just simply enjoy pastries and this place is heaven!
You should try its macaroon and afternoon tea set. No need to guess, it's indeed pricy but do you know why people call it shopping/leisure experience? :)

The National Gallery

The National Gallery is located nearby Covent Garden so during my second visit to London, I was planning to meet my friend somewhere around here and came across this huge museum and startled with what's inside.. Portraits of landscapes, events, people from God-know-when till the latest William-Kate are displayed here. If you enjoy art and paintings, you could spend half a day to explore this beautiful building, but feel free to make a 10mins round since it's free entry.

Sherlock Holmes study room

Another historical place to visit! I love Sherlock Holmes movies (I basically loveee Robert Downey, Jr.) hahaha but they really treasure this place as what it was during 1800s, they even still kept all photos, books, handwriting of Holmes and Dr. Watson, as well as some stories of Holmes' solved cases.

Asam Laksa at Rasa Saya*g, China Town

It was a drizzling weekend and the weather was so horrible.. so we decided to eat a lot!! hahaaha we had this laksa soup in China Town and it tasted good =) was great to keep us warm... The portion was plenty for one person, especially when you choose to eat something else in plenty-of-choices London dining! But one thing that we regretted was that the service here was ... :| I realized we only ordered one meal, asking for two glasses of tab water, and chilling for a while *we spent 35mins there* but the funny thing is that the person in charge were staring at us for quite a time while we're chatting and suddenly gave us the bill even when haven't asked for one =) what do you think?

Selfridges & Co!

Can u feel the Xmas vibe?

Lamb hot dog at Borough Market

Borough Market - another must visit place!! fresh food and groceries =)

Chanel Little Black Jacket exhibition

 I wonder how much for one Chanel black jacket is.. *My Christmas wish list!!* *wink*

 and once again, Britain's art exhibitions never fail me.. there's always something you can learn in every part of the city.. I saw some Asian artists were also pictured by the famous Karl Lagerfeld: Korean actress Song Hye Kyo to name one. Let's hope we will be the next!

*to be continued*

'God speaking to me..'

It's October 21th today so you can say I've been in the UK for almost 2 months.. omg time flies so fast!
I've been nowhere except my last short trip to London and my visa will be expired in 8 months.. :\

anyway I have this urge of sharing something that I got from church earlier..
I believe many of you have heard this line, "God speaking to me that..", "I heard God's voice telling me that.." and so on. And I also believe most of you are not sure if God really speaks or have spoken to you. Cos sometimes I do.

But here's one good illustration of how it works.
You must have experienced this, that when you are answering a phone call with unknown number, yet you suddenly know that it is that particular person who calls you, unless he/she is trying to fake their voice. The reason is because you know him/her so well until no one can lie to you. Cos he is your friend, your close one..
And this example is also applicable for your relationship with God.
How do you know when God speaks to you? How do you know when it's HIS voice and not your own thoughts?
How do you know if it's God's calling when you don't even know His voice? *bang!*

When you don't set aside your time to talk to Him, or even you do so but it just become your regular activity, you might lose that connection with God. You don't hear His voice. You might now even know how His voice is like.

I don't think I need to explain the rest cos all of you must have known what to do next :)

Life is challenging, but it doesn't have to be difficult.

Let God take controls!

Have a joyful week ahead ;)

2 plus 1

One thing I haven't mention on my last post.. I am now officially and legally being twenty one! *claps*
God is sooo good! Since my 17th birthday, I always have a memorable birthday every year. And my last birthday could be the most memorable and dumbest birthday ever!!

So it happened that I was planning to celebrate my birthday with some new friends I met at the orientation.. I was excited (absolutely) and had everything planned beforehand until I found out that my passport was... gone just about one day before my birthday. I. was. extremely. worried.
I've been looking for my passport for 5 days like everywhere, every spot that I could think of. Room: checked. Campus: checked. Shopping malls: checked. I even went to the police but it happened that they didn't take any report for lost passport anymore. Tried to call Indonesian embassy like dozen times but the line couldn't get through (hello? u guys there?). I first planned not to tell my mom about this but I just couldn't handle it that I told almost everyone I connected with at that time to ask for prayers and little bit of support *shy*

Here are some tips for those of you who happened to lost your passport:
1. Be panic! 10-15 minutes should be enough and after that stay calm. You can't think of anything if you get panic. Try to remember the last place you keep your passport and every single places you have visited recently.
2. Try to look for it slowly and carefully. It might slipped between your clothes, or it was under your bed and covered with something, or you dropped it somewhere else. Try to search for it two or three times until you sure its not there.
3. Find your Student Service in the campus/uni. They could help you a lot as they did for me. I reported my lost almost a week after it's gone since I thought I could handle it myself but I actually wasted pretty much time worrying. The counselor helped me to call the embassy even it still couldn't get through at that time. *why oh why* -_____________- so he emailed the embassy as I did earlier and finally the embassy contacted him! they didn't reply my email tho.. *keep wondering why..* :(
4. If you still can't find it, maybe it's time to let it go.. Don't get too attached with your past but move on. Haa! :P you might need to get through several steps to apply for a new passport then a new visa (maybe?) Sorry I couldn't give you much info about this since I've finally found my passport **hooray** - couldn't let you know where I found it since it's the most absurd place one thing could lost-
But from what I found on google, you need to re-apply your visa like the first time: get all your validated papers ready and pay the same *or even bigger* amount for it (around 400 pounds)..

So you still want so carelessly put your passport away??

where shall we go? :)

IF retreat

I feel like sharing this video tonight in the midst of my loneliness lol. These guys have done so much thing in my life during my days in KL. I thank God for each one of them, I thank God for the friendship, I thank God for all the memories I had with them. Words can't even described my feeling.. *twink twink* Loves ya all!

*muachh*  

morning madness

jennifer, amanda, me, caroline

i love this video so much! :)

Queen's neighbor, huh?

So good to be back! Are you guys alright? (british accent) ;)

This excitement can go on and on since I am finally here in the UK. Can't believe myself that one of 2012 New Year's resolution has finally achieved! I don't even remember writing it down on my note till I found out while packing my stuffs back at home.. amazing right?  :')

Anyway it has been exactly two weeks since I left home. No more jet lag, always have a good meals, lots of walking, and I even have a good sleep everyday.. hahaha *wondering why* since on my first few weeks in Malaysia three years ago, exactly the same feeling (homesick), I always woke up in the midnight feeling lonely *shy*

So it happened.. I took a long 15 hours flight from Jakarta - Dubai - Birmingham but it was a pleasant trip, surprisingly. Oh wait, my advise before you took any flight: most airlines offer online check-in nowadays so you better do it since it cuts the super long queue, and you can even choose your seats *I'm a newbie, so that's why..*
I didn't know uni's life could be this different compared to what I usually see. Haa! It's a good thing though..
1. The Uni spent two weeks just to welcome the new students (which is a good thing since we need to familiarize with the city, weather, people, and so on..) They have a different activities everyday to let the students blend with the others! *I didn't experience this when I was in college*
2. Fresher Fair! I didn't know that Uni could be this fun! On my previous college, I barely saw 100 students in one day HAHAHA so don't ever mention hundreds of people, tens of communities giving out freebies and promoting their clubs, and have some fun outside the campus! *loveit*
3. I barely had one-on-one tutorial back then, so just yesterday I met one of my lecture and she is lovely! Once again, I didn't know Uni can be this concerned with their students, about how they fit in with the people and accommodation in Birmingham, just to create a pleasant studying environment. *clap*
4. To be honest, I was expecting a very big and old and scary campus building to give that 'Hogwarts' feeling.. lol But anyway my BIAD (Birmingham Institute of Arts and Design) campus isn't bad either. It's kinda hard to find the building at first since it hides between Aston campus buildings, but since the people is really helpful, I like it! (the canteen is pretty small tho. I can't find seat during lunch hours)
5. Old proverb says, "Seek knowledge up to the China",  but I guess now it has changed since lotssss of the Chinese themselves studying in the UK :P

There are so much other things that I have yet to know.. nevertheless it keeps me excited! *yayy*

some places I found on the first weeks in B town

during Art Festival 2012

such a lovely building

can't. resist. it. anymore

God loves you

Lots of things came thru my mind today. Been in holiday mood for a month now is not a good thing, I guess. I am not that free actually. I have sewing/drawing class twice a week. I have plenty of books to be read. I have a lot of stuffs to be sorted out. Movies to be watched. Puppy to be taken care for. Meal and cake recipes to be experiment with.. lol, But why do I still feel so not-productive?

Once said, it's a matter of your mind. Whether you want to feel happy or sad.
It is fully true. We all women act with our feeling. That's a good thing indeed, yet that's not how you suppose to see the world with :)

This morning I realized that some women (and men) put their selves to be the center of everything. Career, hobby, money is what matter most. Some others put their loves one to be the center of their world (ex.boyfriend, husband, err children maybe?). This isn't a bad thing, but what if at one time this 'world', accidentally or not, failed your expectation? What if your husband left you, your children disappoint you, your boyfriend ignore you? Then your world might falling apart, you don't have any strength or spirit to move on, everything seems so boring, etc etc.
That is why I got to this point.. God has to be the center of your world.
He never ever fails you. He loves you. Very much.
People disappoint you sometimes, it's normal. But God does not.
People cheat on you. God won't. Cos He is the source of Love ;)


I Corinthians 13: 4-7 (NKJV)
⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

The Message version

^3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

   Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.


Why do you so in need of people's love and attention when God gives you more than that?

GUY

I am writing this in between of me doing my offering-challenge note for IF service. Oh well.. I know this is not related to any bible verse that I prepared, but I actually want to write this since long time ago :)

Let's keep this simple and short. For me, being twenty is more than just a number. There are such a huge responsibilities that I need to carry (No offense to those older than me, I know ur burdens are even more :P ), and to be honest I feel so depressed now with the things going on :( *dun want to talk about it*, yet I am so excited about how my life and future would be!

And get to the point, let's talk something fun hahaha!

(please pardon the pics LOL)

---Criteria of a guy I would LOVE to MARRY *twink twink*---

1. My CG leader once asked me this. For me the most important thing is that a guy should possess a leadership skill. Okay I knoe this is not somekind of a scout thingy LOL but He should be able to bring me UP, draw me closer to God and not drag me away from HIM, teach me to be more patient, change the bad side of me, and together with me bearing the fruits of Spirit. Above it all? He must have a heart for God, and this is so IMPORTANT. full stop

2. Have a commitment. When all the good things disappear in a marriage (I hope not), only the commitment that you can hold and make you stand still.

3. The rest is actually subjective. I could even listed it till hundreds if you're so curious LOL, but I don't have much time to do it now, so yeah... (to be continued)

Most importantly I think is about how a guy treats a woman. You can see the difference if your attitudes towards a woman is changed. hehehe =)

start from helping her carry her heavy bags, opening the door for her, or.. I don't know, some simple things will do. I don't want you to feel that I am torturing you guys, so yeah.. feel free to disagree :)

*continuing my work*

Perfectly Imperfect

Happy sundaaayyy :)

It was really nice to be back my second home; worshiping God in City Harvest KL and meeting my second family in Indonesian Fellowship.
Such a blessing to know all of them, grow and yet to be fruitful together in the house of God.
anyway, I wud like to share three things that I learned today.

1. We shud be thankful, grateful enough, for receiving mercy and bless from God, even when we don't deserve it.

2. We shud not only RECEIVE, yet we also need to GIVE as an action of LOVE.

3. We are imperfect, but God makes us perfect in His eyes.
We all might have a different timing to encounter God and His presence. We are amazed by how God bless our friends, families, others. But when is exactly our turn? You may have this question in your mind. But let me tell you something. We all have a different timing. It is not your faults. It is God's timing, and He makes everything perfect at the right time, not too soon and not too late.
For me, listening to other people's testimonies is burned me up, means I am encouraged to do more things with God, walks with Him, talk to Him. Thanks to such a wonderful testimonies today in IF, I know that my time is coming soon. Not to soon yet not too late. I just need to reflect on myself, whether what I do right now pleasing God, as well as maximise my skill and capacity. :)

And one more thing.. I believe all of us are such a beauty in God's eyes.
You might not pretty, but you are sweet (like me? LOL) *sorry for the too much self-confidence*
You might not sweet, but you look attractive.
You might not smart, but you are kind.

Sometimes I do feel much discouraged seeing A LOT of pretty sexy attractive soft hearted girls outside, I DO! hahaha
But I also do believe that God is not unfair for not giving me any good things in me. We are just not well-trained enough to know our own capability, strength, and beauty!

Time heals and opens everything! Just wait and learn!

Good niteeee :)

Shortest Trip: Singapore

Hello again, from me.

It has been like, years, I didn't post anything and get busy with my life. hahah

Just want to share how challenging my last trip to Singapore, yet I was so blessed by those people around me..
So the story starts when I was planning to visit my bestie in SG for her graduation as well as Fashion Show of her collection.
I was so excited about this because.. I just love holiday :D

There were a lot of new things happened in this two days one nite trip that is really.. amazing.
1. I stayed in budget hotel-Balestier for S$179/night, 4x4m room (just forget about how CHEAP it was, high-season rate), while I only brought S$200 that time. I almost cried of lack of $$, trying to call my mom and anyone who can help me. Thank God I had my ATM card. lol
2. I almost missed my flight (twice). Too much enjoying the airport, I guessed.
3. My first time using Tiger Airways, the service is as good as Airasia. Though the stewards are a lot more..erm handsome. hahaha :P
4. God is indeed good. I realized I didn't spend any penny for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. interesting,huh?
5. My first time ever, I rarely used MRT or buses, instead I used taxi for most of my journey (shorten time).
6. Also my first time ever, check-in hotel by myself, alone. That feeling was just..different. ahaha
7. Finger food in Raffles Design SG's grad (Mandarin Hotel) was much much better compare to Raffles KL (J.W. M*rriot). My free dinner at that time lol
8. I went all the way from Orchard to Marina Bay just to eat supper (and meeting families of course), some kind of Tuna Salad. Price: S$25. Taste: no need to ask. Cost: nothing
9. Best breakfast ever!! TWG Tea is the best! Shud try another set menus next time :) Thanks to Debbie Kamil who treated me for the brunch :D
10. Rather odd to say this, but I missed Ringgit MY. It feels so..good, to be able to spend little while you can get more (compare to SG) lol

conclusion: Singapore indeed has great food, entertainment, hotels, environment, that you will never get bored with.
*terms and conditions apply*

bye-bye 4.1, welcome 5.1

first of all, sebenernya bingung mau nulis apa. padahal tadi siang udah kepikiran mau nulis blog. hhmm.. oo yah, sebenernya gua gak expect temen2 yang gua kenal baca blog gua, soalnya malu juga.. HAHAHAHA. tapi makasih yah kalo ternyata kalian yang kenal pada baca. jadi malu..ahahaha

kalopun ada yang accidentally ngebuka blog gua, yah makasih juga deh. moga2 dapet sesuatu dari apa yang gua tulis, jd gak sia2 amat dah..haha

kata temen gua layoutnya rame banget yah?ahahaha. maklum aja soalnya kan ini blog cewe, trus bukan sembarang cewe, cewe banget. makasih masukannya.. ntar lah diganti kalo nemu yang bagus. trus juga temen gua yang laen, gak nyangka baca blog gua. jadi malu (lagi), soalnya dia dah lebih dulu berkecimpung di dunia blog-blog an ini.hahaha

btw, kemaren hari terakhir exam di 4.1 !!

seneng banget, secara gua belajar gak henti2 cape banget, tapi akhirnya seneng juga ujiannya selesai, and gua gak nyesel walopun ada soal yang gak bisa dijawab, tapi banyak bisanya. At least I tried my best. Thank God! :)

Gak kerasa ih udah kuliah setaon di malay, banyak banget unpredictable moments happened in my life. Walopun kadang nyesel kenapa gua bisa sampe 'tersangkut' di negara Twin Tower ini, tapi everything must be happened for a reason. Apalagi gua yakin banget Tuhan yang ngatur perjalanan hidup gua sekarang (kotbah lagi gua),hahaha.. Dari daftar HI Unpar, pindah ke London School, mikir mau ke China, UPH, Tarumanegara, sampe mau kawin pun uda gua pertimbangin..tapi akhirnya terdamparlah gua disini, di negeri jiran tercinta.

Tapi sekarang pun gua sebenernya suka mikir2 lagi, rasanya gak mau kuliah disini :( tapi kalo gak disini, kemana lagi donk?? Kalo aja tau diploma di Spore ato Ausy cuma setaon, pasti gua kesana..haha. Salah info neh.. :( agak menyesal, tapi mau gimana lagi, yah jalani aja deh..

OO iyaahh.. seneng banget kemaren 16 September tuh Malaysian Day. (lohhh??) maksudnya My Day juga. Gua kira ultah gua disini bakalan suram durjam gak ada yang ngerayain, ditambah besoknya ada exam, tapi ternyata seneng juga, dikasih surprise (sebenernya gua dah nyangka) sama housemates, trus makan bareng sama my best best friends here, and dikasih surprise pula sama CG members.. I LOVE them ALL.. :) :)

ooheeh sekalian mau klarifikasi juga ah..

Gua ngerasa image gua jadi jelek gini sama temen2 CG secara gua ceritanya 'kepergok' lagi pegi nonton sementara mereka ngajak cellgroup. HAHAHA

tapi gua bakal klarifikasi real storynya sekarang...

jadi gini..seminggu sebelum ultah gua, sebenernya gua udah rencana mau menghabiskan 16 september di kamar tercinta buat spenuhnya belajar. tapiii kebetulan gua udah cape banget blj, trus juga krn itu hari ultah gua, gua pikir pengen seneng2 dikit ahh. jadi gua memutuskan ngajak temen gua lunch sushi bareng di KLCC. karna temen gua lama kasih keputusan, gua ajak deh temen gua yang laen. Temen yg satu ini mau, trus minta gua temenin dia beli laptop.. Oke deh gua temenin. Jadi pergilah kami ke KLCC buat makan di Sushi King trus beli laptop. Trus temen pertama pun akhirnya confirm, dan menyusul kami ke KLCC. (koq jd aneh gini yah bahasanya? biarlah.. yg penting ngerti kan?? lanjut...) Ternyata, temen gua ini beli bday cake doonnkk.. Gua beneran gak nyangka, soalnya gua cuma pengen makan sushi doank, enek banget makan korea sampe beneran muntah kmrn2 (HAHA), cuma pengen lunch yg high class dikit lah pas ultah gua,, eh dia beli cake, yah gmn gua gak seneng.. Temen yg satu lagi pun, jauh2 dateng dari rumahnya bawa kado cuma buat lunch doank sama gua.

Gara2 itu lah, gua memutuskan buat ajak mereka jalan2 bentar di KLCC. Gak lucu kan abis lunch bareng, mereka udah do effort buat gua, trus udah gitu langsung pulang? bener gaa?? Yaudah loh gua ajak nonton bioskop. Dua jam doank kann.. Eh secara tidak sengaja, temen CG gua dateng ke KL jauh2 dari Sunway cumabuat ngasih surprise. Rencananya sih mereka mau ngejutin gua pas gua lagi belajar di rumah. Tapi ketauan deh gua lagi KLCC nonton Resident Evil,hahaha.. Sehari sebelumnya mereka ajak gua ke cellgroup, tapi gua nolak karna alesan besoknya exam. (emank bener lahh). lagian jauh juga perjalanan ke komsel PP 4 jam.

Truuss akhirnya ketemu lah gua sama temen2 CG di KLCC. Ngerasa gak enak sekaligus terharu, gua ketemu mereka dengan bday cake yang uda ancur karna perjalanan 3 jam dr Sunway ke KL. (Thanks a lot Guysss :)) tapi gua jadi kaya disalahin gitu, katanya mau exam besok, tapi malah pegi nonton and nolak CG.

Salah ngga sih gua sebenernya? Awal2 gua pikir gua emank salah, tapi lama2 kaya emank kejadiannya kebetulan gitu trus gua gak sengaja juga ajak mereka nonton, trus jalan2 bentar, blablabla.. Lagian, gak salah juga kan kalo gua mau enjoy my big day?

Duh bingung juga ahh.. Intinya sih, gua seneng banget hari itu, sekaligus ngerasa gak enak juga ama yang laen..hahaha

tapi seneng banget lah ultah taon ini.. udah 19 taon juga.. setaon lagi nih jadi teenager. And I will make sure I'm goin to enjoy this last year as a teenager and my last year in Malaysia! yoohhoooo :D

Besok balik indo, ketemu papa mama cici dede ema encim ncek ngku ngkim iih temen teman timin kawan sodara sodari pembantu tercintaahhh.. senangnyaaa..

Thanks God for everythingg! :)

I LOVE S

It's pretty long time ago since my last post, and now it's September ady~ Yea, it's September dear.. The month that i've been waiting for, besides December (Christmas) and February (Chinese New Year)~lol

why i love this month?

The only main reason is because i have my birthday on it! :D

Fyi, i had a really amazing September last year, when everything was going so smooth and i really enjoyed that time; one month before i moved to KL. I miss that time so bad :(

However, it doesn't really matter anymore coz i enjoy my life now. Compare to who I was last year, i feel stronger, wiser, maturer, closer to God. Actually last time i felt that i was wrong to choose to move here, i hated the ppl here, i didn't have much easy time here, but then i realized that EVERYTHING HAPPENED FOR A REASON.

I believe that God placed me here to shape me, destroy my bad character and build the good one inside. I am so blessed that i have a happy church, a great cg, wonderful friends. :)

But do you think i live my life happily without any thoughts or problems after that?

of course Nope. Sometimes i feel really bad without any reason, or feel depressed just because small problem, etc etc. It's a common thing. But let me tell you something. Whatever happens in your life, just believe that it happens for a reason. God has uniquely created you, and even when you still can't figure out who you are goin to be, just believe in Him.

I want to thank God for this month! this special month; coz i found lots of new things to do :D

1. I have my own small business :D even sometimes i feel it's not goin to work well but JUST DO IT! haha

2. My friend offered me a job, and it's kinda interesting and offer quite huge amount of moneyy. I ady applied for it and now still waiting for any reply from them. Hope hope hope they will accept me and i will be so extremely happy if they accept me! Guess what job it is? kekekeke

3. I'm interested to learn guitar and violin. It's good, isn't it?

4. I'm also thinking to buy a small sewing machine and create my own clothes. I mean, why not? Right?? :D

5. My dad has ady gave me "Birthday Gift" so Happy :) :)

Can't wait to see how God will surprise me each day wif new thing, new lesson, new blessing. Feel it, do it, and learn from it.

*PS : Please do pray for me and my exam!! :S

xoxo,

I LOVE S(eptember)

Why do people like to put off doing something?

17.08.10 Independence Day of Indonesia

MERDEKAAAA!! :D

seneng banget yah kita bisa hidup di jaman modern kaya sekarang ini..

ngga kebayang kalo gua hidup di jaman dulu.. ngga ada si keren blackberry, ngga ada si canggih macbook.. TV pun cuma orang mapan aja yang punya..

udah gitu pembantu susah dicari.. tiap hari harus bantu orangtua cari duit, belum tentu boleh sekolah..

Thanks God gua lahir di tahun 1991.. :)

Thanks God juga 65 tahun sudah Indonesia merdeka.. Meskipun kita masih dijajah oleh hal-hal yang kasat mata.. :(

BTW, mati lampu doonnkk di rumah..

alasannya : belum bayar listrik

padahal gua udah kasih tuh duit listrik ke hosmet dari awal bulan ini, and sekarang listriknya diputusin karena belum bayar.. ZZZ

satu pertanyaan gua adalah :

WHY do people like to put off doing something?

contohnya aja nyicil belajar ato mandi ato disuruh orangtua ato kejadian hari ini yang bikin gua ngga bisa ngapa2in (padahal udah rencana mau seharian nonton korea) lol

alasannya banyak banget! entar aja deh, belum waktunya, males, gak sempet, cape, masih ada lain waktu, and many more.

bingung dehh... kalo emang ada kesempatan, kenapa ngga sih? apa ruginya coba ngelakuin sesuatu sebelum tenggat waktunya and ngga last minute??

hhmm..masalahnya kalo belajar, oke deh kadang2 kita emank males disuruh nyicil.. itu sih maklum.. tapi kalo saran gua, kenapa ngga belajar nyicil?? apa ruginya??

Kalo gua sih (bukannya sombong,wkwkwkw) kalo udah mau exam, gua usahain nyicil belajarnya.. Rajin banget?? Mungkinn.. :) tapi bukan itu masalahnya.. gua sih takut aja kalo belajar last minute, ngga keburu semua bahan and malah stress sendiri karena kepikiran bahan yang banyak banget..

selain itu.. temen gua pernah ngasih quote kayak gini :

3 sentences of getting success :

-know more than others

-work/study more than others

-expect less than others

gua sih mikirnya gini.. di dunia ini orang2 punya kemampuan yang beda2.. ada yang cerdas, ada yang pinter, ada yang sedikit lemot, dan ada yang butuh perhatian extra.. masalahnya di kelompok manakah kamu di dunia ini??

gua sih mikir jeleknya aja.. kalo ternyata banyak banget orang yang jauh lebih cerdas dari gua, gimana donk? gimana gua mau bertahan hidup? gimana gua mau cari makan?? kawin ama datuk ato anak raja?? hahahaha

Intinya.. anggep aja kita dikategori pas2an, it means kita harus work/study more than others. Kalo orang pinter belajar rumus fisika sekali aja cukup, berarti kita harus belajar 3 kali biar kemampuan kita SAMA kayak dia. Itu artinya juga, kita harus belajar 7 atau 10 kali lebih sering biar kemampuan kita MELEBIHI kemampuan 'si pintar' itu.

Am i right? :)

Oh yaa.. selain itu juga, selama satu tahun terakhir ini gua belajar banyak banget tentang pengalaman hidup.. *Baru 18 mau ke 19 tahun aja udah sok* hahaha

I am not sure whether you agree with me or not, but this life teaches me to expect less from others. I do not expect others to do a favor for me anymore, I do not expect others to understand my feelings, I do not expect others to 'sacrifice' for me. Why? I just think that it's nonsense. The only one that can sacrifice for us is our Lord. :)

My mom once taught me not to depend on other people. Sometimes, we have to stand with our own feet without any others' help. WE HAVE TO. Because i don't think people can always help us if we get into troubles. They do have problems. So the only person that can help you whenever you need is Jesus :)

However, even when I said that I do not expect others to understand my feelings or cares of me, I DO EXPECT. coz I am still human. But I just don't want this feeling make me out of control and force others to care of me and understand my feeling; if they are not, i will be so mad and angry and upset, and act like crazy.

NO. I am not that kind of person. That's why i want to keep my expectation under control :D

So, please think twice if u are trying to put off doing something..

sometimes? acceptable.. but always?? it's BIG NO.

Think about your future, then you will realize how precious time is :)

Last thing, if I think deeply about the positive thing for not having electricity today, i got some advantages also :

1. I cleaned my house. MY SELF. *proudly to say* the very very dirty kitchen, the messy living room, and my own room. Now it's clean and comfortable :D

2. I went swimming. So happy coz since a month ago I didn't go swimming, and so happy to see the pool like a small little child :D Now I feel slim. LOL

It is now 9 pm, I don't know what to do with the rest of the time. Impossible if i sleep at this hour, and wake up in the early morning, find out that the electricity is still being cut down. :(

My macbook's battre is half already so i need to keep it or else i have to go to someone's house and do online there. Pray for me, soon the electricity will be back. :)

XOXO,

MERDEKA !

CRAZY LOVE

errmm.. I feel sooo tired today.. Monday is the busiest day of the whole week!! hahaha. But u know what, i feel so productive if monday's coming.. Coz i have full-day activities : going to school and having a fullday classes (9 to 5), doing groceries, and spending the night watching movies.. So i don't feel like wasting my time doing nothing.. it's great, isn't it?? :)

Btw, what's the point between today and crazy love??

Here's the behind story..

After doing groceries, and walking in the rain, i was thinking that today was REALLY a great day, even i felt so tired.. Why? 'coz i felt so blessed by this bustle. OK, maybe you still don't get what i mean.. lol. Actually i'm planning to share this post right after taking a shower, so that everything that comes to my mind, i can easily explain, but i was stuck with the korean drama (as always)

Anyway, i will just skip the introduction, and straight to the point. :D

So what do you think about crazy love?? is it about waiting for someone for 4 years to be her boyfriend? or is it about loving him for 2 years even you have already dumped?? erm.. YES, it is.

You always think about him/her, you imagine that he/she becomes ur soulmate, you can't leave without him/her, you admire him/her, when u'r walking;sleeping;showering;eating;peeing;anything, you couldn't let your mind even one second not thinking about him/her, you feel so happy if he/she cares of you, and you feel extremely jealous if he/she is being with someone. And you will think that i'm crazy if i ask you to give your boyfriend to me.

If you feel the same way with what i described above, it's called CRAZY LOVE.

However, today i'm not going to talk about our crazy love to someone, since i'm not that expert :D but, i want to talk about the other love, the greatest love that we have ever received.

I John 4: 19 - "We love Him, because He first loved us"

Ask yourself : Do you LOVE this GOD who is everything, or do you just LOVE EVERYTHING He gives you?

erm.. okay, i love God, but actually i love everything He gives me more.. is that your answer??

then i will ask you, Can you proof your love to God?

based on what i got from cell group and church service last week (thanks to July and ps. Troy), these are the proofs show that you really love God.

1. If you love God, you love His words

This is simply and solely, means bible. Please, don't judge me. I believe most of us think that reading bible is the best sleeping pill at night. *sorry God*. But that's why i said, you still can read it in the morning; when your body and your mind are completely awake, right? Come on.. How could the Holy Spirit remind you if you've never read the bible? Do you expect God comes to your dreams and reminds you everytime you get into trouble? Or do you expect of hearing God's voice directly??

Awake pleaseee.. :)

But, do not just aim to do the bare minimum so that you get rid of the guilt or to fulfill your Christian duty. He wants a true relationship with you.. :)

2. If you love God, Love His people

It is easy to love people who are kind and care of you, but you should love 'the others' also. It means your enemies.

The first step is to release FORGIVENESS to those who have wronged you and begin to PRAY for God's blessing to be upon them - Ephesians 4: 32

Another way of loving is through giving.

I completely know it's hard to do, but just forgive and move on. God first forgave our sins, is it hard to forgive someone's fault?

Giving means blessing others. God has been extremely kind to us; giving us a pretty/handsome face, letting us enjoy all the pleasures and studying at good university. How do you appreciate all the blessing? It is simple, by blessing others. It is not only by material, but also with your attention and love.

3. If you love God, I don't have to ask you to do the things above

Why? Because you aware of your own. I just realized this yesterday; if I love God, i don't need people to remind me of reading bible or pray every nite. If I love God, they don't need to force me to serve at the church. If I love God, i love His words and His people. If I love God, I love EVERYTHING that happen in my life. If I love God, i feel HAPPY EVERYDAY, coz I'M IN LOVE.. :)

Be blessed everyone!

XOXO

emma's new hair

As Hollywood's highest paid female actor in 2009, Emma Watson has one of the most valuable manes in the business. But with the final two films in the Harry Potter series set for November 2010 and July 2011 releases, it looks like she's ready to say goodbye to Hermione Granger. On August 5th, Watson exposed the world to her post-Hogwarts look via Twitter. Her pixie cut puts us in mind of Mia Farrow circa Rosemary's Baby, but no word on whether the young star has her own horror flick in the works. What do you think of her daring new look?

I hate theoriess

Sorry to say, but I really hate memorizing theories.. Tomorrow is exam day for Human Resource Management class, but the notes are extremely a lot; that i've already studying since last week ans still cant remember it at all.
hopeless and dunno what I need to do to deal with it, I'll just begin writing this second post.

Oh right, today iIwent to Chow Kit (Plaza GM) where we can find a lot of wholesalers for accessories, lifestyle products, and those kind of things, and you know what, it's so cheap! :D
So I plan to go there again and buy some stuffs and then start selling it to others, since some of the products are in OK quality products. hahahaa
I hope I can start this small business, since all my mind is full with ''business'' and money, and i dun care wif 2morow exam! XD

Where to start?

Actually I really don't know how to start a blog. I just suddenly remembered that I never posted anything on this blog since long time ago :D I just realized now, in my spare time, that I want to post something, TO START. :)
I hope I can keep posting since I began to busy lately with studying, twittering, facebooking, watching lots korean movies, studying, and some more.

And one more thing. The reason why I chose 'PlentyOfish' was bcoz in this life, there are a lot of opportunities that God gives us, either in terms of relationship, jobs, or anything u want to achieve. so don't give up, keep trying and believing :)
* at least it is the thing i want to keep in my mind

plenty of fish! lol
