I'm Coming Home

Finally, after quite some time, I'm finally coming back home, it's really a moment that i really wait for, a lot of things that I want to talk with my parents, where it's inconvenient to talk through phone, because of the delay of the conversation ( Indonesian Telco Provider (-- )! ).

I think i'll need to list down and plan out all the things that i'm going to do and to eat ^_^, so that I can use my time wisely...

Yeah, like i'm going to do that, it's not me at all, just go and enjoy

Oh well, just 1 week to go, Solo, Here I come,

NB : this song keeps playing inside my head for the last few days ^_^

Home ~ Chris Daughtry

I'm staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain

Well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home

The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love, it makes true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try

So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah

Oh, well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home

A test of Patience and Perseverance

Let's take a look about the meaning of these two words, Patience and Perseverance

Patience (pā-shəns) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience)

Perseverance : steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perseverance)


This morning, suddenly there's a word that comes into my mind, when i was doing my work, it was "A test of Patience and Perseverance",
this word came to me when i was doing my work, which it's (my work), really takes up my brain juices, and takes a long time, and until now it hasn't finished yet.

But that word only hang on my mind for a little while, and after that, it just gone by the wind...............wuuuusshhhhh........

and at night, after i take shower and just relaxing in front of my computer, suddenly that words come again into my mind, a test of patience and perseverance, and also i was being reminded about the story of Abraham when he waited for God to give him son through Sarah.

and as i read the story again, i was impressed by the Abraham patience and perseverance, he waits for God to fulfill His promise for an offspring who comes from Sarah, and not just give his possesion and belonging to Ishmael, who is Abraham's offspring from Hagar, or to any of the people in his household.

actually, if we really think about Abraham's and Sarah's conditions at that time, where Abraham is 100 years old and Sarah is 90 years old, and Sarah also already past the age of childbearing, "Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing" ( Genesis 18 : 11 ).

It seems like something ridiculous and impossible, but God Himself said this, "Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son" ( Genesis 18 : 14 ), and in the end God really gave Abraham an offspring from Sarah ( Genesis 21 : 1 - 3 ).

Through Abraham story, I was being reminded about our own tendency whereby sometimes we quick on giving up, or have all kinds of negative thinking, low of self esteem, inconfident, and in the end, we can't see what are the things that God wants to give us, just as what Abraham experienced, if he doesn't want to wait and doesn't believe in God, he might already given all of his possession to Ishmael, which is not according to what God has planned for him ( Genesis 15 : 3 - 5 ), but because he believed and wait patiently and persevere in any condition and circumstances that he encountered,
God bless him and he can be the father of all nation.

so how about us???

are we going to give up whenever challenges happen in our live??
are we going to give up whenever we face difficult and seems impossible situation in our live??
are we going to give up whenever the circumstances is not according to what we want??

Remember that whenever God give us a challenges, or difficult situations, God is trying to mold us even more, and fix some issues in our life, it may seems difficult and harsh whenever we face that, but it will be for our own good, and whatever that condition is, always remember that God is always be with us, as God also always be with Abraham.

"After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision : " Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward" ( Genesis 15 : 1 )

3. Sport Day
4. EQ Day
5. Party Day


The first event that we had yesterday was the Intelligence Day, in the weekdays before last sunday, there're clues given by the PIC, the clue supposed to form an answer, and the interesting part is, the clues were given using the PIC's MSN status, new way to use MSN, then on the day itself, which is yesterday,
there are more clue, which really needs intelligence to solve it,
even the first clue is in form of a mathematical equation, already forgot mathematic, lucky in our team we got lots of intelligent person, they eagerly tried to solve the equation,
then we move on to solve all the clues at Plaza Singapura, then move on to the last destination which is VivoCity,
and to end the whole events, we need to create a story based on the clues, and seems like all of the teams, wanted to make a Jayuz story, so it becomes a Jayuz Story Competition,
But overall, it's really a good events, thanks to all of the PIC

Coffe and Sandwich

Coffe and sandwich, two things that usually helps me to start my day,
but lately i've never had my coffe again, instead change it to milo ice,
in singapore way is Milo-Ping,

almost everyday, my colleague and I will always go out to the coffe shop and buy coffe / milo,
until at the point, where whenever the two of us go to that coffe shop,
the auntie already know what to prepare,
it shows how often we go there
and about the sandwich, it comes from 3 loaf of bread, slice into half in a triangular shape,
put some mayonaise, cheese, egg, and ham, stack it up, put inside a small plastic wrapper,
quite nice i say, but not really enough for me *SIGH*
but at least, can help me to hold on until lunch

Band of brothers Gathering

Yesterday, I had a dinner with some of the brothers in the church at Clementi's Botak Jones,

and from yesterday's gathering, I felt that this session is more to impromptu things,

for the attendance, for the session agenda, but we spent a quality time together yesterday in knowing each other more.

For example, previously we don't know what is the other brother doing for his work,

now we have some description on what they do, and we can share our knowledge.
One thing that really inspired me about this session is about blogging, and Web, hahaha
yep, most of the talking that we did is about blog, web, google adsense, web store, and anything related to web.
True enough, when guys gather together, they either talk about work, soccer, girls, or technology.
so in conclusion, i really enjoy about the gathering, can't wait for the next session, need to really plan in advance for the activity

Densha Otoko

Recently, i got a bit addicted with this J-Dorama called Densha Otoko,
First time i know this story is from the manga,
last thursday i just happened to stumbled to this manga,
and got a bit attached until i read the whole manga in one go,
from chapter 1 until the end, hahahahaha,
i remember it was until 3 am in the morning, bad habit bad habit........

actually, the story is quite simple, it's like those ordinary lovey dovey story in all those drama movie, but it has something different about that.

The story revolves around a daily life of an Otaku called Densha,
anybody dunno what Otaku is,
i recommend to open this website www.google.com to find out ( ^_^ )

this Otaku guy, is a really hardcore Otaku type, until his little sister act like a bit allergic to him, ( poor guy )

His life starts to change when he saved a beautiful girl from a drunken man in the train, then this girl called Hermes asked for his address to show her gratitude. The next day he receives a gift from Hermes, and this is the starting of his life changing process, he gathers his courage and calls Hermes to say thank you and ask for dinner to repay her kindness. Of course, to call a girl is not an easy task for a hardcore Otaku like Densha, and also most girl won't like an Otaku guy, but luckily he has a lot of support from his forum buddies, who always encourage him and advice him to change.

Basically the story is on the life changing process of Densha from a Hardcore Otaku to become a better Hardcore Otaku ( what's the difference ???? ), actually not a better Hardcore Otaku, but to be a better man.

It's really difficult to summarize the story, and it will be troublesome to write the whole story, hahahahaah, just watch the movie and you will know the whole story

One thing i learn about this movie,
Even a Nerdy guy like Densha is able to change and achieve his dreams,
it only takes a COURAGE to take the first step,
and PERSEVERANCE to keep on moving forward
