Refreshingly Funny
I just read Ci bombie's blog (May 31st) and she said that my blog is "refreshingly funny".
And I felt that my heart was flying off to Jeju Island and running in the fields of yellow meadows upon reading that. :D (happy)
To be honest, I was nervous as my oral exam is just another 10 minutes away. And then I read her blog. And seriously, that nervousness was turned to joy! It's like turning a new leaf. Did you see how a simple praised can be so impactful to another person?
She said that she felt like "swimming in my mind". Well, my question to her is this, which swimming style are you going to do? Freestyle? butterfly? or breast stroke? .... It doesn't matter, they're all lovely!
Ok gotta run. Oral exam in 2 minutes.
PS: Ci bombie, I'm also a fan of our blogmedy (Blog-comedy)! Keep writing too..

What a Dream
You know... I gotta something if I can say something here. Her dream looks familiar... with my dream. I dreamt this about a week ago. And I still can't forget it.
In my dream, I was in the middle of a busy street looking for "her" because we got seperated. She said she wanted to buy something (I can't remember what it was) and asked to me wait on a bench. I waited for almost half-an-hour, she never showed up. So I searched for her along the busy street. The street was like Bugis Street Market, and it was really crowded.
Finding her was like Finding Nemo. I was looking head over heels for her. I thought she left me alone and stood me up there. Not wanting to give up, I searched for her further through the market and slipped on a giant booger near the dustbin (Yuck!). All I wanna do was to find her and get out of the street as fast as possible and head to my car.
Finally, I saw her. She was really faint and lost too. And it looked like she was looking for someone else. So I shouted for her name like a mad man in front of all these people. I've never felt more abashed than that. And then she looked at me. So I ran towards her; and before I could reached for her hands, someone else grabbed her hands and took her away from me!
I was shocked! Who the hell is that guy that dared to take her away from me. So I gave them a chased again, but the guy was faster. He went out of the market without even looking at her. It's like he was kidnapping her. And the weird part is, that girl did not struggle at all, nor a single cry was heard from her mouth. She just kept running with him. It's just ridonkulous.
A minute later, I was out of the market. And I saw them getting in to a "BMW 3 series" and headed off, leaving me behind all alone in the midst of crowds. I was panting, sad, angry and heart-broken.
"What the hell?! That's kidnap! This is just ridonkulous!" I thought to myself. I felt like calling the police, but I'm afraid they would not believe my story. So I headed to my car... alone...
When I was in the parking lot, I got chilled. Because it was cold and also, dead empty. Only my car was there. While I walked closer to my car, I caught a familiar glimpse of a person's face. It was her! She was right in my car sitting in the passenger seat. But how did she get in there? I had the car all locked in...
Suddenly, I felt extreme pain in my back head. It's like someone hits me with a baseball bat or something hard. And that's where I woke up......
Oh my... What a dream...

40 Days of Purity - Day 29
I'm getting cranky, but also wiser.
Truth be told, I almost quit during the 17th day. I can't hold it any longer that day. So I just ran away from my room and then headed to uni. And so for the rest of the days, I don't stayed in my room too often.
Right now, I'm hating my room. I hate it so much. Because that's where I'll fail; with the computer and the internet connection on it. So I always try my best not to go home early, and only use my room to sleep and change clothes. Anything that will involved the internet connection, will be done in uni.
But hey, I'm loving this. I can feel God's presence almost eveyday now. It's like, He's by my side every where I go. Maybe because I'm pure, that's why I can feel Him. It's easier to connect with the Lord now and He's always pushing me to go beyond what I can do with what I have. With that in mind, I'm not afraid to fall because of Him.
Anyway, I've been asking the Lord for a that someone to arrive. Of course, I'll pursue her. But which one? Give me some signals Lord...
Lately, I've been watching a lot of romantic movies. And I love them... haha
I'm gonna watch Notting Hill tonite...

Asking a Woman Out
I just realised this a few hours ago when I was lying on my bed. Asking a woman (I like) out is like asking for a raise. Even when I know that I'm worthy of a raise, the success lies in the delivery - how I ask for that raise. And if I got that yes, I feel like a a lot of bucks!
This goes the same like asking a woman out, the success lies in how I ask her out. haha. But so far none of my ideas are enticing enough to get the date that I want. I ended up being in the friend zone everytime I go out with a woman.
So anyone have ideas to share with me?

"Helping Jesus" Shooting - Day 1
I had the previllege of writing this film too. The story was based on the following verse:
Matthew 25: 35-36
"For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."
The verse then went on to state this fact:
Matthew 25: 42-43
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and clothed me, I was sicked and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Thus "Helping Jesus" was written with the aim of convincing the audience that Helping Jesus is like Helping Others.
The film centres around this easy-going guy who prays to God that he wants to see Jesus physically. Obviously, the Lord answers his prayer, however, he didn't realise that. Thus Jesus uses his friends to make him see that Jesus can be seen through his friends.At first, he ignores his friends when they need help from him. He later realises his mistakes and decides to help them one by one. Once he helped his friends, he finally sees that helping is friends is like Helping Jesus.
I can't give too much spoiler. haha. But I'm really excited. This will be a great movie. So stay tune for the teaser trailer somewhere in the last week of June.

Divorce around the corner?
And I was speechless.
So my dad's living in "Kuningan" and my mum in "Sunter". And apparently, my dad is not working at the moment; and I don't know if he's going to work again or not.
Before my sister sent me the news, I asked her if mum and dad is getting a divorce... She said no. But instead, they're living seperately for the time being...
Upon hearing that, I thought to myself, "what's the difference? What's the difference between divorce and living seperately?" The latter are almost identical, albeit different hidden meanings. Divorce means totally seperated, while living seperately is the road to a divorce.
However, I have to say that I'm pretty glad that my parents can still hold on for almost 25 years of marriage - that's a quarter of a century. And I'm actually prepared if they do get a divorce. I guess it's only a matter of time.
My mum was like, "Apa yang di satukan oleh Tuhan, Tak akan bisa di putuskan oleh manusia".
I agree... But looking at their situation now, I doubt that will happen. I'm sensing that divorce is around the corner. But hey, I could be wrong.
Meanwhile, I'm just grateful that I found Jesus first before my parents do this act of living seperately. Otherwise I'd be like this son of the bitch guy roaming around the living room looking for the bloody beers just to get over it.
Oh man, I just can't wait to start a business and earn my first bucks...

My Greatest Honour
So I searched and listened to the song in youtube, and then I started to get emotional. Not emotional due to sadness, but emotional because I felt God's Presence in the library as I'm writing this.
There was a line in the song that goes like this: "My Greatest Honour Will Always Be To Serve My Lord and King." That line meant so much for me. And so Will I... Serving Him is my greatest honour.
Thank you for presence Lord, I will always serve you no matter what my position is. Have Your way in me Father.... Amen.

My Proposal Ideas
And as a man myself, I'm no exception. I'm still waiting for the day to happen where I finally ask my "Cinderella" one of the most important question of my life - "Will You Marry Me?".
I know it's nerve-wrecking and frightening, but...... do you want to get married or not? (haha)
Since this is one in a lifetime question, I'll do whatever it takes for it to be unique, creative, lovely, romantic, and of course, memorable. At the moment, I have five different ideas involving all these:
1) Balloons
2) Cable Car
3) An Audi Car
4) Karaoke
5) Fake Rings and Jewelleries
I don't have the full details for each everyone of them; what I have are bits and pieces that needs to be bonded together to make it flow into a story. Did I say a "story"? Yes! I'll propose to my "Cinderella" with a story line; thus those ideas are like the "title" of the story.
All I need to do is to finish the story. And boy, it's not an easy task. Coming up with an idea is already challenging, what's more completing the task; and I still have to make sure that it's perfect and she loves it no matter what... I guess this is one of the challenge of manhood - to serve our lady.
So to all ladies, please show some appreciation even if you say "no" to the question. Although, it will still be heart-breaking though.
(Sighhh) .. Why am I thinking about all this already? I'm planning to get married at 32; so I still have another 10 years to think about my proposal ideas.. No need to think about this now... Getting out from Perth for good is my main priority now...

Falling Behind
We're falling behind. And I think, it's not only my group that's falling behind, but the rest of the class too. This particular subject is really disorganised, nobody knows what's happening with this subject's coordinator; even the lecturers are not interested to teach.
So, what the hell is happening here?!
This is the one thing that I hate about project - not knowing what to do. My team is having difficulties of understanding what the project requires us to do. Although information has been given, it's still not clear because simply, we don't understand what the heck is happening with that subject.
And to make matters worse, we only have 9 days left to complete it. Oh no!
Anyone knows how to use MIKE 21 FM??

The Shame of Poop-ing
Because I'm so embarrassed by the sound that I made when I'm poop-ing... And our toilets at home or any where in the world are not sound proof! So it's very embarrassing when you're such a nice guy or such a pretty girl trying to "bomb" and someone can hear the sound of the "bombing".
It will not make a good impression to anyone. Imagine you caught your boss poop-ing with unbearable "bombing" sounds. How weird is that?
So does anyone has any suggestions on how to encounter these "bombing" sounds in the toilet??

Iga Penyet
I thought that "penyet" is only limited to chicken and fish. But hey, this is very interesting - a beef rib is being smashed, marinated with home-made sauce and grilled to perfection. Yum!
Instead of the "crispy kremes" (like ayam penyet), they use a hot spicy chilli to cover it up. The meat is as tender as chicken thighs and it blends really well with the marinated chilli.
This dish comes as a set meal with rice, soup and soy sauce; and it's only AUD$9 ... Well it's still expensive; however it's the taste and the tenderness of the meat that you're after. So why not?

Sian - Part 2
And I gotta wake up at 9am for a class at 10am. I left the house at 940am; and just when I thought I was going to be late, the class was cancelled. (sighhh)...
But that's ok, because I had another group meeting at 11am. So I waited in the computer lab for like more than an hour while touching up the report. Then after some time, I noticed it was already 1130 am. "Where's the meeting??" I thought to myself.
As it turns out, the meeting was already finished. They were doing it upstairs in the conference room, while I was downstairs in the computer lab with a bunch of noisy idiots that disturbed my concentration. (sighhh)...
And then another incident hit me. I had to re-amend the report that I did for more than 12 hours because of some overlapping with my mates. (sighhh)...
But still, I thanked God for all those. :)

Devil's Stupid Temptation
Sian - part 1
Assignments undone, reports undone, projects undone. And they are all due on a magical week - the last week of May. Oh this so great.
I didn't even have my KFC today; why? Because I have no time to cook rice. How long does it take to cook rice? 15 mins? That 15 minutes is becoming so precious during these dying weeks.
And then all of a sudden, another news came along and slapped me in the face.
I cannot imagine I'm such a gifted writer that able to move human hearts.
Uh Oh. I'm in trouble.

40 Days of Purity - Day 9
I just can't believe that I'm only in day 9; because it feels like I'm in day 20 or something. I've been holding up for so long. I mean 9 days without porn and masturbation? That's truly is a personal achievement. And what's even more amazing is, I still want to hold on till the 41st day of the challenge (no joke).
Initially, I thought that this is only a test of purity; but as it turns out, this is a test of faith, loyalty, discipline, and of course, purity. What a nice little package for a 40 days challenge. Oh my, but let me tell you something, this is getting difficult. It's so hard I wanna whack my pen*s off.
The only problem is this thing called the internet and this God's creation called the brain. My brain has been telling my hand and my eyes to do what I did best 9 days ago.
If only I have a wife.... (sighhh)

The lyrics are insanely plausible; and the video reminds me to a time when my mum sang to me during my 10th birthday when I was still in Jakarta.
Oh mum, I miss you so much. I can't wait to see you and be scolded by you again. Thank you for bringing this fat boy up. I've become tougher, smarter and more romantic over the years (cieh).

40 Days of Purity - Day 6
Working Vs Serving (Very Interesting!)
However, there's one thing that captured my fullest attention; and that was during the closing moment when Pastor (Ps) Daniel Ong took the stage for closing prayer. Now, if you know Ps Daniel Ong, he won't end an event without correcting it; and I'm glad he did the correction.
Let me just sum up his "short-preaching" to the points below; it's about working vs serving.
"If you do it for your own selves and glory, that’s working
If you do it for God and His glory, that’s serving
If you do it as long as you have free time, that’s working
If you do it within your hectic activities, that’s serving
If you stop because no one’s is thanking you, that’s working
If you continue to work even though no one’s thanking you, that’s serving
If you feel that you’ve sacrifice a lot and therefore feel that you should receive something in return, that’s working
If you feel that you've sacrifice a lot and still feel that you haven’t done enough and will do it even better than before, that’s serving"
How good was that? It's simple, straight to the point and captures our attention as miniters in church. There's no need to waste time by telling us about house-keeping rules on Praise and Worship team. I mean, seriously, for what? This should've been done via email.
And honestly speaking again, I want to quit The Last Generation (TLG) youth group in Singapore due to some mismatches and my freakish egoism. But Thank God! After I listened to Ps Ong's "short-sermon", I have a lot of thinking to do in my head.
Oh father, your time is always the best.

I'd Rather Be With You
So there was this one time when I went to Sentosa with my best friends (Gunadi, Ineke, Heru, Cici Gunadi and her family); and while we were fooling around on the beach, Gunadi stopped me and Ineke from fooling around. I realised he was taking a photo of me and Ineke. So I was like, "ok, why not?"
And then a couple of days later, Gunadi called me up and asked me to come to his house to look at the photos. So I went there, and looked at all the photos; they were normal, nothing really special. However, there was this one photo that has writing on it. And I thought to myself, "wow, this is brilliant."
On the photo there was this writing:
"Although we will never be together,
But still, I'd rather be with you..."
So after that, I kept thinking, Ineke is like 4 years older than me. And yes, although we will never be together, but still, I'd rather be with her than any other girls (awwww). I mean why not? She's cute, kinda sexy, wise and knows me well too; and to top it all, she loves Singapore too!
But hey, the age different.... (sighhh) ... If only, she's two years younger than me... I hate you "age different".

40 Days of Purity
That same night after dinner, I thought to myself, "hmmm, that won't be such a bad idea to try". However, after I said the word "try", I immediately recalled a scene from Star Wars Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back) where Master Yoda told this line to Luke Skywalker, "Do or do not; there's no try". "Wow", I thought to myself, there's no try; either a Yes or... a No.
Thus, after a lot of thinking, and as a man of faith (cieeh), I took up that challenge or program (or whatever you call it). This means no vices or in simple terms, a habit considered immoral; pornography, masturbation, gambling, alcoholic, narcotics and smoking.
See, I'm not a fan of smoking, neither taking drugs, and neither gambling. It's the other three that I'm worried about; because supposedly, men are vulnerable when it comes to those “triangular” sins. And to make matters worse, I always failed to stand my guard when it comes to those three lethal sins (oh no).
But anyway, today is the 4th day of the challenge (I started on the 2nd of May, 2010) and it’s going well; better than I thought it would be (hehe). I still have an immense 36 days left on the challenge… And I’m very sure; temptations will come sooner or later.
So let’s see who will win at the end of the challenge, my flesh, or my spirit. Hahaha
God Bless Me!
