My Colorful Life - in Almighty Hand Forever

---- an email forwarded by a friend ---- Seorang wanita muda menemui ibunya untuk menceritakan jalan hidupnya dan mengeluh bagaimana susahnya hidupnya. Dia tidak tahu apakah sanggup menempuh jalan hidupnya atau dia hendak menyerah saja. Dia sudah capek menjalaninya. Seperti satu persoalan terjawab, yang lain sudah menunggu . Sang ibu membawa anak perempuannya ini ke dapur, sang ibu mengisi tiga panci air dan menaruhnya diatas kompor dan dipanaskan dengan api yang besar. Setelah ketiganya mendidih , sang ibu menaruh beberapa buah wortel dipanci pertama, beberapa butir telor dipanci kedua, dan beberapa sendok kopi dipanci ketiga. Lalu ia mendiamkannya sampai mendidih tanpa berkata apa-apa. Setelah 20 menit berlalu, sang ibu mematikan kompor itu dan meletakkan wortel, telor dan kopi dimangkok masing-masing. Lalu sang ibu bertanya kepada anaknya, apa yang kamu lihat ? wortel, telor dan kopi jawab sang anak. Sang ibu membawa anaknya lebih dekat lagi untuk melihat kembali dengan seksama dan ...

Just gone through the tears blood week .. well necessarily really bloody ... what I mean is very tiring physically and emotionally. Did I do a very hard labour ... nay .. just spent a week holiday and when times come to start work at office seems difficult to pace with the speed :D :D :D .. Truely ... When I don't have 'enough' things to make me occupied all my brain n creativity seems stop, won't run ... and life become so dull. But If I only have some errands and tight schedules to meet it will exhaust me too. So what is the conclusion of my short revelation during my holiday .. I have thinking a lot, comparing some periods in my life the ups and downs and analyzing the problems (you know I am a wanna-scientist-but-ended-nowhere) .. and I really really realizes: - for my body : I need to have talk to people, doing exercise (this part fails sometimes), eat good food (nyum nyum) - for my mind (soul): I need some interaction with other people other than work related to ...

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?' '50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered. 'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?' 'Nothing' the students said. 'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ' the professor asked. 'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students. 'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?' 'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis; Have to go to hospital for sure!'ventured another student; all the students laughed. 'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ' asked The professor. 'No' the students said. T...

I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be!" He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me.." I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go." We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life. A ball is a circle, no beginning, no en...

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it’s the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise or maybe it’s the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind. He sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about “a thousand marbles”. I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say. “Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you’re busy wi...

Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, tidak bisa memberikan alasan mengapa ia mencintaimu Dia hanya tau, di mata dia, kamulah satu satunya. Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, sebenarnya selalu membuatmu marah / gila / jengkel / stress Tapi ia tidak pernah tau hal bodoh apa yang sudah ia lakukan, Karma semua yang ia lakukan adalah untuk kebaikanmu. Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, jarang memujimu, tetapi di dalam hatinya kamu adalah yang terbaik, hanya ia yang tau. Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, akan marah – marah atau mengeluh jika kamu tidak membalas pesannya atau telponnya, karna ia peduli dan ia tidak ingin sesuatu terjadi ke kamu. Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, hanya menjatuhkan air matanya di hadapanmu. Ketika kamu mencoba untuk menghapus air matanya, kamu telah menyentuh hatinya, dimana hatinya selalu berdegup / berdenyut / bergetar untuk kamu. Seseorang yang mencintai kamu, akan mengingat setiap kata yang kamu ucapkan Bahkan yang tidak sengaja dan ia akan selalu menggunakan kata – kata i...

I have some Burmese frens in Bangkok. When one told me about what happened in Burma (Myanmar) I was shocked. Please check ko htike or Nknayman or DR If you reckon what happened in Indonesia in May 1998, this is worse. Everyone has right to live, to speak, to express one's feeling/thought in comply with the laws. Could somebody control other's life just like animal?????

Last week I talked with my friend, he mentioned about his family tree. He and his relatives has maintained family tree up to several generations before him. WOW! Now I only know me, my father and mother generation, and my grand mother generation. I also don;t know all their siblings. Our big family members have been lived separated in many cities in Indonesia. Some I only heard their names. Some I even never know that we are relatives. What if I met someone special and it turn out that he is my relative too? Please no. Anyone know where I can find a free software to record family tree?

This picture shows the horrible animal, a real vampire that spread itches **overreacted**. Exactly mosquitoes do not bite, they only suck blood, and only female ones do. What is the difference between those two? In Surabaya the mosquitoes will 'sing' before they suck somebody's blood. We will be alerted and can prevent the incident if you wish. In Bangkok, as what my friend told me, there is no sign but I already got bitten. Sooo direct!

Thursday, September 13, 2007 As I am foreigner here, I can not read Thai characters therefore mostly I don't update with the Thai local news. Me and my friends here always have impression that Bangkok is safe, at least safer than some big cities in Indonesia. Here we (the girls) can walk around wearing hot pants (really hot!) without having naughty whistles from men. Street in Bangkok This evening when I went to buy fried rice for my dinner at the shop near my apartment, the seller told me *&&@# #@!#$% *(in Thai) which was later translated to "There is robbery near 7-11, which is just 100 meter distance from my place. The robber riding motorcycle and the victim is a girl". It was a crowded area because near university and market area yet it still happened. So Please be careful! Don't bring so much money on the purse, and if you just happen to have more than what you need to spend, just remember that I'm most welcome you and I'm ready to received your ...

Bangkok, September 12, 2007 Sometimes in my life I tried to become a director, just like the one who directs the movie. Able to plan and decide the plot of the movie. For me I would imagine what it will be the condition. Mostly I would ask myself what would be me if I were married at the age of 23? Or what would be me if I still stayed in Surabaya? What would happen if I accepted the scholarship to Singapore? What would be me if I go to Holland? So many what if ... maybe I need ‘a programming function’ to do all the repetitive work. Put me on the condition, and try to analyze the outcome.. According to my mind of course. And it made me so stressed. In fact today I’m on the path I’ve never thought of. Never thought to study abroad in Asia, yes I ever imagine to study at USA years ago, which I thought was merely a dream that would never come true. Well, I’ve commit to the Source of my life. I will let Him to bring me to His plan, from glory to glory. Even though now I only see the tears...

Bangkok, September 12, 07 You are the inspiration of my life. You move me toward to reach the good things. You teach me what is love, the kindness in You that never ending. You teach me what is beauty. You teach me what is color. You teach me what is friend and family. You give me strength when I am weak, when I can’t face the days of my life You give me vision when I am blind You comfort me when I’m lonely, upset I know what is love, it is from You Yet I don’t know how much is Your love, to sacrifice for me, the sinner. And now I’m alive, I live in the Risen Son.

Bangkok, first week of December, 2006 Beberapa malam yang lalu aku telah bermimpi. Mimpi yang sangat aneh … spertinya saya benar-benar hidup di dalam mimpi itu. Pada waktu itu saya sedang ada pertemuan dengan teman-temanku, tapi sya lupa mereka ini dari mana, yang pasti bukan teman sekantorku. Apa mereka dari UK Petra ato mana, tp sepertinya sesama orang Kristen. Ya waktu itu setelah FA .. kmu di sebelahku. Apa kamu orang Indonesia atao orang Thailand? Mirip … I can’t tell the different. Oya, apa waktu itu kamu ngajak ngobrol? Saya lupa, mestinya ada ya .. karena kamu duduk di sebelahku … kalo ada pake bahasa apa? Klo orang Indonesia mestinya ya ngomong pake bahasa Indonesia dong … ato bahasa Inggris ya … wa wah wah .. hal seperti ini tidak bisa mengingat .... a bit careless? Anyway ... itu di rumahnya siapa ya .. ato sperti di salah satu kos-kosan cewek di Sby yang cukup besar dan banyak kamar2. sepertinya kita berteman baik, seorang teman yang bisa dipercaya. Kemudian kita berdua be...

A time in my life. I know a man, from the educational environment. Rudi is a nice man. He has many things in his nearly-30, good job/career, a house, a car, good family even though he is still single he always happy. We have a trip together, and there we discuss many things. Rudy, out of my expectation is a grumbler. He complains everything about an institution he involved with. He is kind of disappointed and with the help of his friends they complain in a formal way. Wow, it's more than 1,5 years but he still can't get through it easily. So talking with Rudy made me so TIRED. It's enough for one time, no more next time. Rudy I hope you'll be able to get your happiness.

Still in the mellow mood I had finished my study, all my academic responsibility required, now only waiting for the administrative procedure for the graduation. Yet no one knows what is the next step .. so what should I do, waiting in uncertainty? But why you keep coming to my mind. It will be better if you stay where you are and let me stay where I am. Finally ... nearly graduate.

10.09.07 Monday Today I go to Siam Park with my friend. If you ever been to Dufan Jakarta it's sort of it, but in smaller scale, and of course in many aspects Dufan is alot alot better. In Siam Park many of the games are for children, and some for adults are very 'dangerous' to us :D for we don't want to have VORTEX and BOOMERANG, the kind of roller coaster .. we end up still have so many coupon unused. We give them to the kids. We choose ticket 350 B each which is discounted 50% from original price 700B. There is another option around 1000B which we can used for VORTEX cost about 300B alone. The food is not so good too. But talk at the poolside, and we enjoy it. I think it's the best part of the trip, just like talking to an old friend we can enjoy the conversation. The DISCO TAGADA is scaring-me-to-death ... and I hold on the steel pipe so tight that my arms and my neck are hurt until 2 days after it. The INDIANA LOG aka ARUNG JERAM of DUFAN, is quite OK, but the ...
