dinning time

"Crown him with many crowns..." the song magnificently echoed in the grand chapel this morning as we stood together in the Sunday chapel service! That's really awesome song and the organ too! Really, that made me brought into the 16th century nuance. The reading of Holy Scripture was from 1 Thes 4; and the sermon was from 1 Timothy 2:8-10. Well, really good to listen to the reading of Holy Scripture as congregation. So, that was how Sunday went and it is good! Praise God!

I was invited by a friend to accompany him get some food, so there I went to the canteen and got some juice. I love avocado juice since it's very juicy and refreshing. Sometimes I realized that at least there is good side of listening to a friend speaking, first in order to better understand what he or she needs, and to help. I am still exciting to read the Psalms in Russian... it's very nice (at least for me personally).

Final paper is still in the top priority, so I have to do it seriously although I am getting a little bit tired, cheers up!!! Remember, keep praying and trusting God. My eyes are a little bit heavy now and I need to take some rest, otherwise I would fall into sweet melancholic mood (???#?#?#? :D).

Somehow it's been really windy day! I was almost carried away when I walked (^^^^:D). Well, after all, I am still breathing and I am happy for that!

Thank you, Lord! ;)

meaning of trust

Da da da wowo (??#/%^/!! :D). Saturday is Saturday, I mean it's really beautiful (if I say beautiful, it must have something to do with bright sun and well-done plan). Yeah, and that's because I was blessed with the opportunity to walk with my friends a little bit to the south, deeper into the Lippo Village with Robert, Yogi and Suhandy to visit our beloved lecturer, Ms Enid of Australia. She is very kind and merciful. There will be no regret after staying with her and listen to her wisdom and faith in the Lord! Indeed it's really great! She's just back from Adelaide to serve God here in Indonesia. She told us that her trip was very nice. Then she asked us if we have any needs to be prayed for, and thus she blessed us with her kindness and spiritual truth. One line which dropped into my heart went like this, "Pray. Keep praying and trust God! He knows us best. Trust Him! And when your struggle is over, say 'Thank you, Lord', whatever the result is".

Yes, I need that words to be planted and carved in my soul that I may not forget: "Thank you, Lord!" He is so merciful and truly Lover of mankind! And... one more thing added to my surprise, she then said to me, "And Yudhie, I got something special for you..." (Hmm... sounds really good) and she took a thick blue book. It was when she handed to me I came to realize that the book has some Cyrillic letters on it which reads "Bibliya"! Yeah... Russian Holy Bible! What a gift! Thank God! Great, since I have also received so many special gifts from my beloved Dad some versions of Holy Bible and this will be a new one! Now, I would like to read Psalms and Gospels in several languages :D, in Russian too ;)! Lord, You're full of surprise!

And let's flash back a little bit to last night. I was in the setting where I had offended somebody because I had placed my friend's belonging to somewhere else without his permission. Thus, I must admit and said sorry! What a challenging task... Well, with the encouragement of my friend, that ice was broken and I said "Forgive me, I am the one who removed it..." It's not very easy... get to learn and learn!

Still watching the Japanese movie of Long Vacation (1996), which is very good movie teach me a lot about self-denial in very practical manner (that is not that so very heroic) to love others! Ehm, the music of the day is Chinese music (:D:D:D) as the Chinese New Year approaching! Well, time is precious!!! I get to continue my final paper as soon as possible>> The next intensive class will be.. this Monday! yeah ;););)

Thank you, Lord! ;)

well, it starts in January

Hm, so this will be my new 'corner' where I am trying to stay out of box. It will be highly non-intellectual and strikingly personal. My best hope is that it will be a good media to see how insignificant I am (what am I saying? :D), and to recollect events during the day which is very interesting (if any) or worth of learning. Yeah, at times it's nice to be as simple as possible, even being minimalistic :D in mind and in... whatever. In fact, this is one of ways which I think will help me to silence my adventurous thoughts, kind of parking lot (however, this is net... so, some ethical concerns may be considered).

So, what am I going to start with? I ask Lord's mercy to keep my mouth and heart in the praises of His name. Lord Jesus, have mercy! In the worst case when I don't have somebody to talk to, I will be silent or else I will pour out my concerns here. Very honestly, it has been kind of my hobby to write whatever... a kind of daily jottings, so I think this is the (secret??) place.

Today was going so well! Got some assignments done, and received really brilliant suggestions for the final paper :]. Although sometimes my emotions let me down, yet here I am: survive. Hard it is when I have to deal with it, but at times, I just need to keep watch and see. Only one nice tips: choose what is true ;). After all, I guess this blog is a little bit a silly idea but I can't help it... I like it :P. Although at times, I think too hard when it comes to deal with people and to understand them (read: sort of being self-conscious at times), but at least I can smile and say hi (50 points! :D). And for today's edition, it is time to push my self not to dominate others. I mean, not to seek attention to myself, let others be themselves and I don't want to impose certain burden to them (hope that doesn't sound too kind :p). As idealist :P youth sometimes, I feel amusement to joke around and listen to some inappropriate kidding :S, and I think I better listen to good music.

Hm... BTW, now speaking of music, (pop) Turkish music can be really enjoyable during the break time... and to sing along!! Well, Greek or Arabian music too are very amazing! Love them much!
