Hi everyone.. How are you? How's your weekend and Sunday? Today is absolutely a great Sunday for me.. I went to Hillsong this afternoon and our senior pastor, Ps. Brian Houston preached an incredible words.. Yesterday was amazing too! It's just so great to have Saturday and Sunday as my days off,hiihihihih :D
I actually want to tell you about the first 2 weeks at my new workplace.. However, it will need a long time and today, I have to sleep early because tomorrow I have to get up at 5:40am to get ready for work.. While thinking about topics that I want to write, suddenly I remember this..
Days ago, one of my connect group members, share a remarkable reflection in our group chat.. I was amazed by God's given wisdom to him.. Therefore, I want you all to know about this.. I hope it will become a blessing, just like how it blesses me. Happy reading and HAPPY SUNDAY!! :D

" GOD IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE "
When on the road driving, I might be one of the most impatient guy out there. Slow drivers and red lights amuse me, can't handle them.
When traffic lights turn yellow, the testosterone inside of me tells me to hit the gas pedal, so I can save two minutes of my precious life and use it to do something else, such as candy crush. ( I laughed when I read this part, hahhahaha..)
When it comes to waiting, us-human kind, is the worst. Any form of waiting kills us. Being in the doctor's waiting room, waiting to get your exam result, waiting for the traffic light to turn green, waiting for God's promise to arrive, we just weren't created to wait.
When the traffic light turns red, it signals drivers to stop the car and rest. It is a good opportunity for us, not only to rest our feet and mind, but to think whether we are still heading in the right direction to our destination.
* When you feel that your life is at stale, or it SEEMS that God is not answering your prayer, or it SEEMS that God is not moving. It is a good idea for us to rest and seek His face again, and ask " Are we still in the right path?". He is our GPS after all, God Positioning System.
I like to think that God is always on the move.
You might disagree with my statement and think that God is not moving in your life. God puts a red light in your life, DOES NOT mean that God is not moving.
When you are at a red light at an intersection, it allows other cars from another road to pass you.
It MIGHT SEEMS that your life is not going anywhere. Maybe it's a good opportunity for you to, by divine intervention, meet someone and mobilized & stimulate their spiritual growth.
Maybe, just maybe, what you think is a stalement is a way for others to fulfill their destiny.
When it comes to build God's kingdom, we have to think of the BIGGER picture.
* The traffic light WILL NOT be red forever, nor green forever. There is a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-12). There will be a time when God ask you to wait and use you to allow others to be built up. There will be a time that God allow other people to stop at intersection and allow you to go to a whole new level.
* GOD IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE. GOD'S KINGDOM IS ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD.
You might think that your life is stuck at a point, but maybe God is using you to build other people up, and the other way around. Either way, GOD IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.

Good nitez peeps!

A Declaration (1)
Greetings! Before starting, I just want to say Hello September to all of you.. Wuhuuuu.. Moga-moga jadi September ceria ya buat kita semua,hehehhe.. Also for all of you who lives in Australia, let's welcoming SPRING together!! :D Yes, it's Spring already! Here in Sydney is not that cold anymore :):) Sudah berhari-hari juga saya tidak memakai electric blanket yang biasanya hampir setiap hari saya pakai karena kedinginan..
It will be a short post also this time.. Few days ago, I had my sisterhood connect group here.. Sisterhood means they are all girls, no boys, LOL.. On that day, I am the one who's gonna share God's words.. Saya tidak akan menuliskannya semua disini sekarang karena nanti bisa menjadi sangat panjang.. I will write about the complete story later, perhaps in the next post after this.. Hohohohoh..
Setelah selesai menyampaikan cukup banyak hal kepada mereka semua, saya membagikan 3 lembar kertas kepada mereka satu per satu yang secara personal saya buat dan ketik sendiri.. Di kertas itu, saya mengetik beberapa prinsip yang saya praktekkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.. I also put some bible verses that until today, I often say to myself when I feel down..
For my connect group, I encourage them to put these papers on the place that they see often, or maybe they can take a picture and keep it in the phone so they can see and remember it always.. Thus, if you want to do it also, please feel free to copy and save it wherever you feel comfortable at.. :)
By showing this to you, I hope it can give you strength when you face difficult situations in your life.. Knowing that you are not alone in this world my friends..
- Realizing that our God is working BEHIND THE SCENE right now, to make things good.
Semoga tulisan-tulisan ini dapat menjadi pengingat bagi kalian, A REMINDER untuk selalu berpegang teguh kepada iman yang didasarkan kepada kebenaran, serta tidak menyerah, selalu bangkit kembali & semangat dalam menggapai impian,
- YOUR MIRACLES ARE COMING SOON.. PLEASE WAIT PATIENTLY IN HIM..
" FOR THE LORD IS GOOD, and his love endures forever; HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES through all generations" = Psalm 100:5

What's New !!
Greetings again!! How are you all?? Masih menikmati liburan atau dah kembali pada aktifitas semula? hehehhehe.. Whatever you do, tetap semangat and jangan lupa untuk selalu menjaga kesehatan yaa.. Di post ini, sebenarnya tadi hanya mau share perasaan super senang yang sedang saya rasakan hari ini.. Eh tapi tiba-tiba ingat bahwa sudah hampir 2 minggu saya tidak update blog ini.. Jadi ya sudah deh, disini nanti sekalian cerita sedikit ya.. Baru sadar juga ternyata banyak hal baru yang belum saya share sejak kembali dari Surabaya.. So, let's start now! :)
1. HAIR
- Yes, it's hair again.. I guess I can say that hair is my "favourite" thing to be changed everytime I came to Surabaya.. 1st week to do in Surabaya must be = pergi ke salon untuk merapikan rambut,hahahaha.. Semuanya bahkan sudah diatur oleh mami.. Sebelum kembali ke Sydney, saya sekali lagi pergi ke salon untuk merubah model rambut untuk kesekian kalinya.. My hair is shorter than before and absolutely wavy now, not straight anymore.. AND The wavy is PERMANENT! Haha! I will show you the picture maybe later ya.. Atau mungkin bisa dilihat di jaringan social.. Hehehhehe..
2. MOBILE PHONE
- Thanks God for it! Finally I bought a new phone! An android! Lebih cepat berkali-kali lipat dibandingkan blackberry saudara-saudara.. Dan puji Tuhan, pada saat saya membeli hp ini, toko di Australia sedang mempromosikannya.. It's a hot price! So lucky thanks God.. Bbm saya tetap on just in case, since masih cukup banyak keluarga dan teman yang menggunakan blackberry..
3. BED
- Kasur ranjang saya yang sebelumnya jeglong di bagian tengah.. Jadi beberapa kali punggung saya sakit pada saat bangun.. Setelah membicarakan hal ini dengan pemilik apartemen saya, akhirnya beliau setuju untuk membelikan yang baru.. I was so happy.. Ranjang saya sekarang keras teman2, jadi bisa tidur dengan nyenyak deh tanpa sakit punggung lagi.. Yeahhhh!! :)
4. CARROT
- I introduce you.. My new companion while sleeping.. Her name is Carrot.. Secara orang-orang disini tidak memakai dan menjual guling, saya menggunakan carrot ini sebagai guling saat tidur,hahahha.. Convenient banget lho.. Here is her picture : So cute ya,hehehhe :)
5. GYM
- Finally, setelah seringkali tumbang di tengah jalan.. Akhirnya seminggu ini saya telah berhasil rutin ke gym untuk berolahraga sebentar.. Praise The Lord!! Mami saya bahkan sempat shock lalu tertawa di telp waktu saya bercerita bahwa saya baru saja selesai gym.. Hahhahaha.. Mami bilang 'Ya gitu dong gym supaya fit terus badannya'. Badan ini sempat cekot-cekot lho (pakai bahasa Jawa sedikit tidak apa-apa ya,hahahah) sampai sulit digerakkan pada saat ingin bangun dari tempat tidur.. Mungkin otot-ototnya belum terbiasa ya,ihihihihi.. Saya juga mulai membiasakan makan buah dan sayur-sayuran (meskipun masih sedikit-sedikit dan harus memaksa diri sendiri,hahahahahah).. Pada saat ke supermarket, saya membeli buah kesukaan dan sayur-sayur yang gampang dimasak.. Ini benar-benar rekor lho.. Keluarga dan teman-teman terdekat pasti tahu kalau saya ini tidak suka dengan sayur,LOL.. Moga-moga bisa mempertahankan ini seterusnya yaa.. Bagi kalian yang juga anti sayur, yuk sama2 belajar makan.. Semangat!
6. JOB
- Save the best for the last.. This thing was the one that made me so happy and grateful this afternoon.. Once again, only by His kindness and favor in my life I can get a new job.. Behind the scene storynya cukup panjang, so maybe nanti saya akan menulis tentang ini di post tersendiri.. To God be the glory.. Praise The Lord for His amazing deeds in my life..
That's it for now.. I'll see you soon in the next post.. All the best guys! Good nite! :)

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,.....

Pre-Holiday 2013
Hi everyone! How r u?? Still busy doing lots of things? Work? University? Or on a holiday like me perhaps? Hehehhe.. At this time, I wrote this post on my very own bedroom in my hometown which is SURABAYA, INDONESIA!!! Hurray!!! I know it's kinda late to write this now since I've been here around weeks ago.. But.. Once again, better late than never :D
I'm not gonna write a long long post today, just want to give you guys at least an update..
Surabaya is still the same, very hot.. When I was in the plane, about to landing to this city, the pilot made an announcement regarding the weather.. When he said it's 29 degree Celsius here, I was like ... Speechless.. Because before when I was still in Sydney, the weather was like 6-8 degree Celcius.. So glad I only wore a white shirt and jeans that day.. Fiuh..
For the 1st time in my life also, my luggage was not 'that' heavy.. I got 30 kg, usually my suitcase will be 27-29kg.. However for this holiday, it was just 23 kg.. Maybe because I've already gave some of my stuff to my mom when she came visit me last May..
The other new thing was my flight schedule.. Before, it was around 10-11am.. Now, it changed into 6:30ish am in the morning.. I need to be at the airport at 4:30am.. That night, I slept at 1am in the morning.. Feels like I went to bed then in few minutes I had to get up again.. Plus, can you imagine the weather and wind that early in the morning?... ... ...
Due to that, the aftermath was : I slept like a baby in the plane.. Woke up just to eat then sleep again.. I did online check in before, so I chose the corner seat near the window which is quite convenient to sleep compare to others..
Singapore was my transit place.. I waited around 3 hours there.. 1st thing to do : eat!! Haahahha.. And like always, my choice was Burger King.. It's been quite a while since my last time eating fast food I guess,hehehhe.. It was nice! Yum! 2nd thing to do : called my mom from the public phone there since my mobile couldn't connected to the airport wifi.. I grabbed 50 cents coint, put it in the machine and dialed my mom's number.. Last thing to do, sit down and wait while trying to figure out why my phone couldn't connected to the wifi at Changi.. After few moments, asking information desk, opening the setting, doing this and that, then it worked suddenly!! Yayyyyy!! :D
Then, it's time to boarding again to my 2nd and last destination for 1 month.. Will spend most of my holiday in this beloved city Surabaya.. Caoo!!
* Ps : I will post the complete story of my holiday soon.. And of course, my sweet escape to 1 of my favourite country in the world..
Btw, I know my 'soon' can mean 'quite' a long time sometimes.. Thus, please, just need to be patient while waiting for the next post,hahahhaha..
See you 'soon' in the other page!! LOL :D

Heiho! I know it's late to post this but... BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT? Hohohohoh..
Today is actually the last day of Hillsong Conference 2013 #ThisIsRevival.. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well since yesterday.. Jadi ga bisa dateng deh,huhuuhuh.. Luckyly, dengan kemajuan teknologi, masih bisa menonton online via streaming live.. Hurray! :)
In this post, I will show you the video and picture of Hillsong Conference 2012 #TheChurchIsAlive which I took LAST YEAR (Upss!!!...).. It was my first time attending this conference and I still remember I was so so and so excited.. Tidak pernah terbayangkan bagi saya untuk bisa datang, melihat dan mendengar secara langsung speaker-speaker International, berkumpul dengan begitu banyaknya orang to praise God together, bahkan join kelas-kelas yang ada di Conference tersebut.. I'm gonna write 'behind the scene' story about it later yaa..
Saya mendapatkan banyak sekali hal melalui HillsongConf. ini.. I wrote it in my book, dengan tulisan yang mungkin hanya saya sendiri yang bisa membacanya,hahahhaha.. I will share it in another post.. Wait for it ya!
Now, here are the videos and picture! Hope you can feel the atmosphere there.. Even it's happened one year ago.. Even it's only from the photos.. LOL :D Since for me, I still find it AMAZING!! Enjoy guys!

Morning Light
Yellow! How's life? Busy? Steady? I hope everything's going well for you there.. It's getting colder and colder here.. Tidak hanya cuacanya yang super dingin, tapi ditambah juga hujan angin guys.. Minggu lalu, setiap harinya hujan terus tidak berhenti, dari pagi-malam, sampai bingung juga ngliatnya.. Boot shoes and umbrella are 'a must'.. Karena begitu dingin, sempat lho kalau kita lagi berbicara satu sama lain, keluar asap dari mulut.. Brrr.. Ok then, let the story begins.. Enjoy readingggg all..
Minggu lalu adalah minggu-minggu penyesuaian saya untuk kembali ke 'hidup normal'. Ternyata cukup sulit juga lho,hahahhaha.. Saya tetap tidur di malam hari, tapi malam yang dimaksud, sebenarnya bisa dibilang sudah pagi juga, yaitu jam 4-5am.. Lalu bangunnya siang banget sekitar jam 12pm. Selama 2-3 hari berlangsung seperti itu..
Ada 1 hari, dimana saya tidur jam 5, lalu bangun sekitar jam9an pagi..
After waking up, I craved for pancake suddenly.. So I went to McDonald across my apartment and bought it.. It was so delicious guys!! Uenak tenan bahasa Jowonya, LOL.. Sampai ketawa2 sendiri pas makan,hahahhaha.. Siangnya, saya mulai mengantuk, tapi tidak tidur agar nanti bisa tidur tepat waktu malamnya.. Alhasil, bener deh.. Jam 11pm saya sudah tepar di ranjang.. Dan hari-hari setelah itu, jadwal tidur saya mulai kembali teratur lagi.. Thx God finally :) Maximal jam 2am saya sudah tidur, dan bangun jam9am.. Oke kan ya? Hehehehhe.. Finally benar-benar bisa balik to normal life that I've been missed these last 6 months.. :)
* Seminggu lalu, tiap harinya hujan.. Pada waktu pagi dimana saya pergi ke McD untuk membeli pancake, saya menyadari sesuatu yang tidak pernah saya sadari sebelumnya.. Saat saya keluar gedung apartemen, berjalan ke arah McD, saya melihat genangan air di jalan akibat hujan.. Lalu melihat ke langit, dan ke depan, memandang cukup banyak orang di jalan mengenakan jaket-jaket tebal.. I can feel the winter atmosphere.. At that time, I stopped.. Langkah kaki saya berhenti sejenak..
I don't know why, I was just so happy. Trully happy.. Saya tidak menyangka bisa sesenang itu hanya karena melihat pemandangan air, langit, dan orang-orang di jalan..
Mungkin bagi kalian, hal-hal yang saya sebutkan tadi adalah hal biasa.. Bahkan mungkin terkesan 'aneh' ya bahwa saya bisa seneng banget hanya karena melihat hal itu? Hahahhahahha.. Tapi untuk saya yang sudah merasakan hidup terbalik (worked at 11pm-7:30am), hal-hal kecil itu sungguh memberikan kesan yang luar biasa.. Saya bahkan bertanya kepada diri sendiri kenapa tidak pernah menyadari hal tersebut pada waktu menjalani hidup dengan jam normal dulunya.
Isn't it funny? Previously, I was given the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and the scenery every day, but I never realized the beauty behind it.. The last 6 months, I lost those views and light.. I missed it.. Now, when the hour of my life is back to normal again, I just feel those things are really beautiful..
I guess words like 'You will know how things are trully means to you once they're gone' is true somehow..
These days, I become a more grateful person.. I learned that things that look ordinary in life, actually some (perhaps most) of them are free gifts from the Creator.. Air, sunlight, scenery, and many others ..Looks simple, but once gone, somehow you will long for it too..
* Thus, I just want to encourage you to be more thankful.. Not only because great things happen in your life, but also due to the USUAL things that are ALREADY in front of you .. Be thankful if you could wake up in the morning, do your activities, and returned home at night to rest again .. Even it looks like a normal thing, seems nothing special in it, still be grateful..
There are many people in this world who want to live as normally as you.. You are lucky!
** Never wait until something missing from your life first.. Be aware of what you have at this very moment.. Recognize and treasure its value.. Be grateful for whoever in your inner/outer circle, for whatever happens to you : TODAY..
** The things that SEEM NORMAL, can actually have tremendous meaning if we want to look deeply into it.. WIDE AWAKE, friends! WIDE AWAKE..
* Genesis 1:3-4a = And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good,......
