The Blind Cook

Greetings from Sydney everyone!! I'm back! It feels good to be here.. However, half of my heart still in Surabaya, fiuhhh.. Sedikit merasa aneh karena hampir setiap hari, sewaktu di Surabaya, saya berkumpul dengan keluarga dan orang-orang terdekat.. Bisa sedikit bermanja-manja juga.. Ada mami gitu yang menyiapkan semuanya,hahahha.. :D Sekarang harus balik mandiri lagi deh,hehehhe..

Ok, I did not plan to write a post, but suddenly there is an urge to do it after getting an inspiration from one video, which was MASTERCHEF USA SEASON 3! Hahhaha.. Inspiration can comes from everywhere,right?? Just to let you know, I'm actually not a fan of Masterchef Show.. Hehhehe..

The story began yesterday night.. In my recommendation lists in youtube, this Korean Celebrity Masterchef video suddenly appeared.. Then after trying to see few episodes, I became hungry .. Wakakakka .. Ga nyambung ya,wkwkkwkw.. LOL.. It's a joke.. Hihhiihi :) After seeing some episodes, on the corner side of youtube, there were several lists for other Masterchef video from different country , one of them was USA .. I clicked it randomly and started to watch it..

The introduction started.. Since the 1st 5 minutes, I was interested only in one thing.. It's said there, for the first time, there was a blind contestant who participated in this competition .. I was quite surprised, then began muttering to myself, how could someone like that cook? How can she cut or choose a good ingredients? How does she know that the food is well cooked or not if she can not see it? How can she decorate her food well? How does she know the appearance of her food before she presented in front of the judges?

Saya penasaran sekali untuk melihat orang ini memasak.. Just this person.. Jadi saya mencepat2kan videonya, tapi orang ini tidak ada disana.. Ada keinginan untuk mencoba me-research siapakah orang ini.. Tapi karena sudah tengah malam, saya memutuskan untuk tidur.. Today, I watched the Korean Masterchef again.. Dan di pinggiran youtube, sekali lagi muncul option2 video masterchef yang lain.. Out of nowhere, mata saya tertuju pada 1 cuplikan video, seorang wanita, berpakaian sama seperti kontestan wanita buta kemarin yang saya lihat di introduction Masterchef USA, dan ternyata benar, IT WAS HER!!.. Dengan segera saya meng-klik video itu..

Her name is Christine Ha.. Please watch the video :)


Ketika dia menjawab pertanyaan di menit 3:10-3:20, I was amazed.. Based on her memory only, she knew what the utensils look like and how she need to cut this and that to make an outstanding food.. When she started to cry, it's embarrassing but I cried as well.. T-T.. I was touched..

Saya menyukai kata-katanya di menit ke 7:32 hingga akhir, especially this one :

** "YOU CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING YOU WANT TO OVERCOME.. AND GET WHAT YOU WANNA GET.."

- Such an inspiration, isn't it? Blind, but still has a vision.. And you know what, I did further research and I found that SHE'S THE WINNER OF MASTERCHEF USA SEASON 3.. Exactly like what she said before the video ends "I'm gonna be the next Masterchef"..


Starting from minutes 12:26 till the end was my favourite (MUST WATCH, YOU WILL GET INSPIRED :)  The words from the other guy was great too by the way..

MINUTES 14:12-14:18 = " I AM A LIVING PROOF THAT DREAMS COME TRUE AGAINST ALL ODDS"..

- My friend, use this video as encouragement if you are still on the way to achieve something.. To get what you want.. To become what you wanna be.. To reach your dream.. I am using this video as well to encourage myself at this very moment..

- Nothing is impossible in this life.. This kind of faith is the one that I always keep in my heart no matter what difficulties I'm going through now or in the future later.. 

* YES, THIS BODY, THIS MIND, THIS HEART, HAVE THEIR OWN LIMIT.. BUT REMEMBER : NO LIMITATION CAN ACTUALLY BECOME A LIMIT IN THIS LIFE.. 



* See that woman above, can not see.. Many people, even the world, considered that as her limitation in life.. Yet, she never saw it as a limitation to limit her dream.. She even managed to prove it by becoming a winner in this competition..

* Your future does not depend on what others think or say.. IT DEPENDS ON YOU.. HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF NOW.. HOW YOU PICTURE YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE.. WHAT'S YOUR PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS SOMETHING..

** THERE IS NO LIMITATION IN WHAT WE CAN GIVE TO OTHERS, TO THE ONE THAT WE LOVE, TO THIS WORLD, EVEN TO OURSELVES.. 

* GOOD NEWS : YOU CAN BE A BLESSING - WHOEVER, WHATEVER, WHENEVER, AND WHEREVER YOU ARE..

* COURAGE MY FRIEND.. ONCE AGAIN BE COURAGEOUS!

*** AND REALIZE THIS : YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE.. THE MOST HIGH GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE AND HE BELIEVES IN YOU.. THEREFORE, EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY.., CERTAINLY.., POSSIBLE.. :)

* John 16:33B = "......, BUT TAKE COURAGE,.....

Regards, Cindy
