Last shot.

Get wet, get fun.

Ready to launch.

Just Arrived.

More than anything.

Just want to share a lyric from one of the songs that we sang in the church anniversary celebration. The lyric is very simple, but very meaningful. Hope anybody who read it, will get the essence of the message too.

God loves people more than anything
God loves people more than anything
More than anything He wants to give
He'd rather die than let them go
God loves people more than anything

*connectedthinking.

Our team is trying to make a new poster, which reflected the whole team member for replacing current one. The theme for the poster is the same as our firm's motto i.e. "*connectedthinking". In order to do that, each of the members need to modify their pictures, so the pictures would really reflect the theme. I come out with the above picture. :)

Gado-gado.

is refer to a kind of Indonesian food, which consist of mixed vegetable and peanut sauce. Indonesian people usually use this phrase for refering something that heterogenous. I also use this phrase for my writing's title to refer to what I am going to write right now. There have been various things happenned the past few weeks.

• About two weeks ago once again Indonesia was hit by another catastrope. Several places in central java was shaken by a approx. 5.7 SR earth quake during 57 second. Based on the report from television news the death toll reached more than 5000 people. Just before the disaster, a lot of effort has been put to evacuate people from Merapi Mount eruption, but nature said different. What puzzle me was the timing of the disaster, it could be said just one or two days after the Ascensions day, the last two big catastrope i.e. Aceh Tsunami and Nias earthquake happened just one day after christmas and easter day respectively. Just trying to understand what message that God really want to put through for Indonesia or all of these just need to happen that's all.
• Last week was our church 61st anniversary. The committee planned to have a massive youth choralle which would be consist of 250 young people from several our church branches, but surprise there were almost 350 people turned up, including me. We only had twice combined practice including the one right before the anniversary celebration service. It was really amazing we really sang well during the service. The congregation was really astonished with the performance, all of us could feel the spirit of the theme this year "Shine for Jesus". I hope each of us could really understand the meaning of the theme, hence we can apply it to our every day life.

• Finally, last saturday I attended the CISA exam. During the past six months I tried very hard to manage my time for study. It was really hard to study while working full time, especially if the job nature such auditing most of the time is very time consuming. Actually the preparation effort was not only come from me and other candidates, but also our Boss, Kees, who once a week conducted CISA review class during the past six months. Honestly, I did not want to let him down, because he has already sacrificed his out of office hour for only preparing us to pass the exam. I am very grateful that have a great boss like Him. Then about the exam result would come out about three weeks after the exam day, it would be confirmed by email. At the present I don't want to speculate about my exam outcome, I just only want to tell myself that I have put as many efforts that I could for passing the exam, let God do the rest.
• Time really goes so fast now we are in the mid of year 2006, I just felt that we just celebrate the new year yesterday. The first lesson that I learnt the past six months was that acceptance for something that we can't achieve. Sometimes we need to lay back a bit to think about the essence of our failure and disappoinment, there maybe a way for our future improvement. Another thing is commitment for ministry. The past one year I have struggled to commit for a ministry in church. I afraid that I can't fulfil my ministry responsibility because of my time consuming job. After a long contemplating, I think I should try, coz we don't know we can and can't do it if we do not try. Then since last week I registered myself as a sunday school teacher assistant. I hope this ministry would be useful for myself in the future.

Ok, that's all for now. Wanna to go home to watch football match hehe.. FIFA World Cup.
