Kenangan Terindah.

(Free translation: The most wonderful nostalgia)

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang t'lah hilang darimu
yang mampu menyanjungku

Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itu pun aku mampu tuk mengenangmu
darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Reff.
Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau kenangan
Yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang t'lah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah.

This song is quite popular, since it was released by an Indonesia Boysband, Samson. The melody is good on my ears, this song also sang when we had a session during the camping. I thought this is a love and romantic song, which describe two lovers who are in love. A partial of my thought was correct but in opposite way. I just realised it when I read the text thoroughly (read: how lost i was, where have I been ^_^) I hope whoever is going through a lowest level in their love life can move on, I know it is hard. Ask for help if we cannot bear it by ourselves, pray to God cause He always there for us.. He always keep his promise, will bring the best one for Us. God Bless.. There always a hope.

Anak Monyet..

Another Sunday school song, which is the fave of my niece, Anne..
Here is the lyrics:

Anak monyet di atas pohon
Anak cacing di dalam tanah
Anak burung di dalam sangkar
Anak Tuhan di dalam gereja

Panjang muka namanya kuda
Panjang hidung namanya gajah
Panjang tangan itu pencuri
Panjang sabar itu Anak Tuhan..

Applause to the author who have created this wonderful song.. :)

Sitting at the hotel lobby..

Today at 10.21 PM I am sitting at hotel lobby in order to connect my compi to the virtual world.. Saturday night hmmm.. Currently I am in Surabaya, like usual fieldwork. :) Yeah work .. work and work.. a little sad actually, because my parent are coming to visit us (sis and bro including me) in Jakarta. In the meanwhile I was assigned to serve clients in Surabaya, what a bad timing.. :(

Hmmm, haven't got enough with the Lebaran holiday actually.. Nevertheles at least I got fun during the holiday. I went to camping !! The whole of my life I never experience sleep at a camp. It was Lingga, two month ago out of the blue called me, and ask me whether I want to join a camping event during the Lebaran holiday. At that time I thought I didn't have any plan yet, and why not. Then the day came, Lingga and I joint with a bunch of people who had registered to the event, took a bus and went to Rancaupas, Ciwidey, Bandung. After a long long journey, 5 hours ride, finally we arrived. But it didn't look good to me.. we were only provided three camp for around 160 people, which means around 53 people in a camp.. I felt like a refugee though.. at that time felt a bit regret hehe.. bcause having used to stay at hotel hihi (while doing a fieldwork) compare to slept on the floor..

One night passed with a bit insomnia and cold brrr.. still two more night to go.. foods were ok.. the committe has been working hard to prepare it for 160 people.. appreciate it.. bravo committee.. Then started to have a lot of fun, meeting people, hiking to "Kawah Putih",.. Singing, Games and many.. many.. more.. I started to like the holiday.. Then I said to Lingga, I was not regret to attend this event, although I was complaining at the first place hehe.. sorry I didn't mean it.. Then the other two nights were passed quickly and came to the end of the camping day.. Before we went home we still have time to visit Situpatenggang Lake. Thank's God, I got a wonderful holiday.. :)

go.. camping.. go..

Sunday School.

Although I have travelled a lot lately, I try to manage my time to bring my niece to sunday school. Hmm, I learnt some sunday school songs and found those songs are very interesting hehe.. Here is one of the lyrics:

KingKong badannya besar
tapi kakinya pendek
Lebih aneh binatang bebek
lehernya panjang kaki pendek

Alleluya.. Tuhan Maha Kuasa
Alleluya.. Tuhan Maha Kuasa

Tuhan membimbing langkah demi langkah.

(by Anonymous)

Jangan memandang kepada besarnya kebutuhan kita

Pandanglah kepada kebesaran-Nya

Keadaan kita seringkali menjadi penghalang

untuk melihat kemampuan Tuhan

Oleh karenanya jangan kita mengarahkan mata kita

kepada keadaan kita

Iblis senantiasa berusaha memanfaatkan keadaan kita

untuk mengalahkan kita dan menyalahkan firman Tuhan

Sesungguhnya kemenangan terletak pada kesetiaan kita

dalam memandang kebesaran Tuhan dan kemampuan-Nya

Ia telah berjanji untuk membimbing kita langkah demi langkah

Tidak sekaligus, namun ... langkah demi langkah ...

Dan setiap langkah, merupakan suatu mujizat!

"Prophet" by Frank again.

Lately felt really fed up with all of the routine, work and work and work... Then after the sunday school last week, I just passed the church library and got an idea to borrow a book, that can give my mind a relieve from thinking about my work stuff.. and flip around and ...ta..da.. I found another book from Frank, the title is "Prophet". I really enjoyed to read Frank's novels.. from the previous experience with "this present darkness" and "piercing the darkness". and I decided to borrow this book..

Last Sunday I've just finished the book. The story is a bit different with the first two it, this is more real, I think it's very common to happen in our life, politics, telling lie - covering truth, and ambition. This book is worth to be read. Please refer to this link for the story summary http://www.gnpcb.org/product/1581345267 Happy Readinggg !!!

A new look.

Felt a bit bored about the look of my blog. So I changed the template and now look like this. Ya just wanna refresh.. :) In fact I also want to restore the whole of my heart and energy, so I can left those awkward feeling behind and move on towards a better life..

Clara and Coala.

which one is cuter ?

My birthday gift.

The same as last year I didn't have chance to bother about my birthday, because I was on the way from my home town to Jakarta. Then yesterday I just received a bonus from office. Hmm, although my birthday was ten days ago, I felt like got a birthday gift hehe.. the office give away two millions rups voucher, which we can choose one of three options from panorama, carefour or sogo.

Apart from that I am very grateful to God for this year. I feel very blessed. One month before my birthday I've already got my present actually hehe.. the first one I was being double promoted, then got my performance bonus. The second one I passed the bloody CISA exam. During this time I think I can't ask for more, these two are already enough for me. Then yesterday got the third one hehe. And now somehow I began to worry, I remembered my first writing about "comfort vs growth". Wondering maybe I need to be aware of my life balance.. I've tried hard to maintain the work activities with my ministry in church. Hopefully I can maintain it well..

August 2006.

The same as last year, I spent most of my days in August at Chevron corporation, one of our firm audit client. I thought I have mentioned Chevron, which formerly named Caltex, is a oil mining company in Rumbai, Riau. The field work was enjoyable, all of my team member performed their work so efficient with a good quality of documentation. Two thumb up for all of you (Amel, Wisnu and Ferry). May be this year is the second year for all of us, we've already had the what in the firm we usually called "CAKE" about the client. This term is stand for cummulative auditing knowledge and experience. Moreover, from the client side, they also have improved a lot in term of how they control their business process, so most of their work have been documented properly. Hence, aside from work we still had time to having fun hehe.. hunting for durian, shopping in mals, watching movie and photo taking session. Please refer to pics below.. :)

I came back from Rumbai last week. What a shock when the first day I went to office at 5.40 am from home and arrive at Mampang at 6.20 am, but guess what I arrived at the office around 7.15 am. Had to spent around one hour to travel such 2-3 km distance.. The reason behind that is the government is building bus ways in all of the main streets in Jakarta. Mainly the purpose of the busway is to reduce traffic jam. Government is trying hard to improve the public transport, in order to persuade people to travel public transport, but I doubted it will succeed, let's hope.

Then I got another shocking news, my english instructor while I was preparing my EAP (english academic preparation) at IALF before departing to Australian commited a crime. He was arrested by Central Jakarta Police in the beginning of August. Actually this news has flown around in the alumni mailing list three weeks ago, but I never pay too much attention to this mailing list, and just known the new after a friend told me about this news. Just can't believed what I read in the news, I never thought this could happenned. He was such a respectable man, smart and I admited a bit sceptic, but unbelievable he could commit such crime - just don't want to mentioned what kind of crime. During my way home last night, I kept thinking life is always unpredictable, we can only see people's condition from the surface, but we never know what deep inside. People are correct, when they said the phrase, "don't judge the book by its cover".

Mess hall for lunch.
