a cup of tea....
Lie doesn't kill, denial does.
Forget doesn't heal, forgive does...
Trust in God's will...

Sparks
Inside or outside counts most? I believe in physical attraction though, like they said
" its the inside that counts, but the outside gives the inside a chance.."
Do we really need the things they called sparks, connection
or what they called a chemistry??
Or (some said) actually we only need respect, , good conversation and same vision in life,
or my naive version ...just took a glimpse and you're sure that
he's the one that you will lay your future at....
it needs no sign at all, just trust your heart..
there will be perfect time for perfect person, pray hard...
oh...and there's no need to rush :)

"A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years.
Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly ...and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another.
Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic." (Carl Sagan)

Getting Over
then maybe they're supposed to be there..
But you will never find the right person if you don’t let go of the wrong one.
Just hope all is going according to God's plan.
Trust that there is a bigger picture.
that life is unfolding as it should.
Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don't even deserve
to be an issue in our life
(Inspired after noting in some Fb statuses, lot of woman cannot get rid of the past...it's so sad realizing all woman facing the same problem... be tough, better not wasting your time in wrong person)
"Do things for the right reason in your life. If you are with someone because you don't want to be alone.
MOVE ON!! Love is in a high cycle..."

Be near me, Lord Jesus. Close by me forever...
Away in a manger,
The little Lord Jesus
The stars in the bright sky
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
And stay by my side,
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
Close by me forever
= MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE ! =

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now and still need help somehow
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown up christmas list
Not for myself..but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart. That wars would never start
and wars would never start...and time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win.
And love would never end.
This is my grown up christmas list.

Status : Clear Mind
can feel it, that He works on me...
All my wonder, all the confusion, all the questions are being answered today.
through some events..through friends.... through a call
perhaps the answer made you kneel down and cried...for now.... but better than have to cry over something for the rest of your life...
And ... it's ... just ... OK.
He wants me to let it go one more time, and I will...

If I don't say this now, I will surely break
As I'm leaving... the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
So few come and don't go...
Will you want to be the one I always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
Be my baby.....and I look after you

And I can feel it in your kiss. It just gives me tender bliss
What is love?
When I feel you around....
When I hit the ground, when I see you laugh away
It hurts but I just won't say
Love, who can tell me I am wrong? I just think that I am strong
What is love? I just want you to be loved.....
When I feel you around I was so upset
We fell on the ground...
When I see you're mad at me, it was such a silly thing
And I can feel it in a kiss, it is something I will miss
What is love? I just want you to be loved

Once I met you I let go
Just one look and i knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what i got
you got it all over him
Once I met you I let go

the world was a song
When hope was high
And life worth living
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Anywhere But Here...
where the earth doesn't shake
If the earth won't be still, then I will
and my friends can be my family,
and they can be my company
then I'll take them to a party and we'll have fun
can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?
I wish for a place where it's not such a waste
I can tell the girls my name,
it's okay although it's plain
If I could sleep
then I would dream of what you promised me
and everything would seem better than it is.
I wish for a place where I could go
'cause everything here moves so slow.
Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?
I wish for a place where the earth doesn't shake.
If the earth won't be still,
then you and I will.
Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?
tribute to my dad....
My dad is a fashion critique
He doesn't like me wearing any tight, girly stuff. He thinks an architect should wear a tartan flanel long sleeve shirt and baggy trousers with lot of pockets. The only thing he agreed with me is my converse shoes.
My dad and his car
He follows music trends and listens to Jason Mraz and Maroon Five. Jump in his car, always find some new hip cds... "Can i make a copy of this daadddd....."
My dad and Kungfu Series
For as long as i remembered, he always watched kungfu series... My niece got called "Princess Cheung Ping" by him
My dad is a musician...
He played guitar quite well. He impressed my mom before they got married, by singing in an american community band.... It was Speedy Gonzales, which afterward he sings it to his children couple timess.......I can easily picture him sing the " laa... lala lala lalalala......". He has terrific voice, Randy Jackson might told " Wow... man, you truly can sing... yow yow yow..." . I love doing karaoke with him.... Our favourite duet is Thousand Miles.... I still got the record, papss
My dad is cool
My 68 dad still wears adidas shoes and jeans to the office. He's into fashion alot... Could spend hours finding the pants, ties and shirt he wanted... His favorite, beige short pants and Hanes tshirt
My dad always smells good....
never go out without his favourite parfume. Even when he went to wet market... You can smell him like in 20 meter radius.
My dad is a great chef
He's an expert in making superduperdelicious spaghetti, well-known among his daughter's friends... His Ikan teri Fried Rice also makes me miss to come back home... Often find him making us Fish Ball Noodle in the morning..... "Paa... mau sarden pake tomat yang banyakk"
My dad is a big narcist
Just right on the garage, you'll find different pose of him hanging on the wall. He wore sunglasses, he without sun glasses, he's smiling... he is not.... he wore hat, he lifted the hat, T_T puh leez, now i know where i get the things from...
My dad rarely uses public transport..
Two years ago he insisted to go to Pasar Senen to buy me Char Siu using Metromini. We were worried like crazy..... He stated in mind.... that "When you go down from the bus must start with ur right leg, and when you up using your left leg..... ". That was the theory !!! When he came home, he said that (well okay) he got confused and ended using both legs,,,, that was really funny imagining him jumped out from the bus.
My dad and his six daughters.....
When we were little, twice a year he took us on vacation.... all six of us. When we grow older, we still are his babies. Never in a second he doesn't think about us.... always keep in touch, always sending mail, always phone you at the right moment when you feel down. Being surrounded by girls, makes him a very sensitive dad... (yeah pap, i think u're not born with it) , he easily cries...
My dad is Opung Kumis
He got 7 grandchildren. He and my mom often show up infront of my sister house without warning. Playing with the boys, making fun of the girls, all the grandies love love him.
My dad loves going out
Take him out for dinner and you never feel sorry to see how big his smile enjoying a big bowl of Vietnamese Noodle. We often watch film together, buy big pack of popcorn with extra butter and cups of pepsi, purrfecto.
My dad loves my mom....
He always comes home for lunch and adores all my mom's cook. Recently he phoned me that he'd like to make a web site to sell her chocolate cookies, to spread the world how good the cookies are..... We'll support u paps.....
My dad and his hair
...never touched barber shop, his hair always maintains by my mom. Specialty, he, sat on our backyard with that green plastic chair, old newspaper on the floor, and my mom wore that handgloves, and steel scissor and she started cutting and painting his hair..... "mbaak, masak air panas buat bapak.. "
My dad is the best advisor...
Year ago he told me the secret that he said only me knew about working social....
How he got the opportunity, how he achieved things..... how to get up... Well done carnegie!
My dad is a golfer
He goes everywhere to play his favourite sport. When our house got robbed eight years ago, and the thief also took his callaway golf clubs... He was so sad.... He got the replacement right away, but not the brand that he wanted.... One day...dad, i'll send you callaway......
My dad and his ring...
It was 5 months ago he told me that he wanted me to get his alumni class ring from Texas University if the time comes.. No dad, you're going to live forever and the ring shall goes with you.....
My dad and me
He always prays with me every time i had to go back to Bintan... He said " God, please take care of my daughter..... in place that isolated as it was, please give her company, please sending her the right person, and the success on her work...." My dad always wants me back to Jakarta.. but he knows that this is a way...
The experience had changed me, he knows it.
Love you forever......
you always be the reason why i always want to go home

i got confused....
Merujuk ke kamus Miriam-Webster Online, kata ini berasal dari bahasa latin consistent-, consistens, yang merupakan present participle dari consistere. Kata ini berarti :
possessing firmness or coherence, free from variation or contradiction, showing steady conformity to character (buat konsistensi dalam hal karakter seseorang), tending to be arbitrarily close to the true value of the parameter estimated as the sample becomes large (dalam aplikasinya di bidang statistika)
Menurut kamus yang lebih populer misalkan Kamus oxford, consistent adalah kata sifat yang berarti:
always behaving in the same way, having the same opinion, standard, etc.

Back to the Core
It's such a funny sensation to be
So happy that you wanna die
Promises always were crazy to me
But never was I so surprised
Minutes are longer when we are apart
Your presence's more than I can handle
It's come to the point where I wonder if I
Could ever be luckier when
Lend me your ears, I would like to confess
I'm doubting that you can be real...
irr : im thinking about toothless....

Dedicated to The Island
And it makes me feel so fine. I can't control my brain
When you're on a golden sea, you don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own as we drift into the zone"
(Island in the sun-Weezer)
After a hectic businness trip to Singapore, she decided to to visit me here. She's the only visitor i have in years. For days i wonder where should i take her.... my first guest, remember? just want to show some cool, fun spot but had no clue yet.
Being picked up from the BBT Ferry Terminal and ate pastry and hot tea, we straigth ahead to my dorm... After pampered and chitchat we went to Nirwana Beach Club.... The plan was to show her the nicest beach.... but... the sand was awful, the rain washed the beauty of them... it supposed to be white crystal blue sandy beach.... Failed to give her good first impression.. sad me..
Spending the evening at Mana-mana Beach Club, we ordered double cheese pizza, nachos, pineapple juice for me and red wine for her. She was telling her plan to write a book....it's in the process already. It will be a story about someone who struggle her life in sickness. Her friend got a blood cancer since she was five. The story will be based on this girl who is the same age with me, who still survive, who still up and down in life, but still feel grateful to God. Cannot wait to read the book. And i really want to meet her in person.... i
After took some photoshot at Laluna...well she was an interior designer, so it's kinda important to take a picture of sail-like bench, white ornaments of the place, we went home, and watching Music and Me..... film that i've watched thousands time, and still cannot get enough of Hugh Grant...... I've been sleeping with the shadows overhead.......
Taking a nap...z z z zzz,
I had to go to Uban early in the morning, to have my first communion.
Right after i arrived at Lagoi, we directly go to the Ria Bintan to have our lunch. I ordered Beef tepanyaki and Linda ordered Oxtai Soup as i recommended....... talking about love live... girls talk.....
After a long hot sigthseeing the Golf Court (at this point, she was impressed, yee haw) we went to Bintan Lagoon to go swimming...... cooling the day.... Then, took 30 minutes car-ride we had dinner at Waiju at Uban, again she was impressed to the food. We ate gong gong, blackpepper crap, butter fried shrimp and kang kong......
we're so full like crazy...it's time to go home.
Woke up in the morning i made her a Tuna sandwich and Teh tarik...then she went back to Singapore...bye bye gals...see u around...in Jakarta.
