busy days

been a while since the last time I posted a blog. not that I dont want to write, I have almost no time. life has been very busy since I got back to Indonesia, but yes busy is good for you, it indicates that you are alive. it is better to be busy rather than having nothing to do. :)
but despite of all the busy schedule and pressure around, I am very thankful to have great friends, great partner and colleagues amd supportive people around me. thank you all..

pingu.... semangat... hang on there! the time will come~

anak kos belajar bersyukur

kita punya kecenderungan utk nyalahin kondisi, termasuk saya, kadang2 ga sadar tiba2 ud keluar aja alasan n argumen2 yg pokoknya ga bisa dibantah orang laen lagi. tujuannya sih satu, membenarkan diri sendiri, seolah2 we have no responsibility to it anymore. i am not the cause, the situation is.
hari ini cape banget, pikiran full, hati juga lg ga enak.. beres ngelesin (lumayan hepi sih hr ini, krn adrian dipuji gurunya krn kuis bionya bagus, christian jg belajar sciencenya pinter, adeline spt biasa-always rajin)...siap2 mandi.. pgn istirahat.. nasib anak kos, ga punya water heater.. masak air deh pake termos listrik, my guts has said "listrik uda mau abis d pasti, sono liat meteran di bawah, drpd ntr jepret.." cuma dasar uda males n ngentengin, akhirnya ga jd deh liat meteran n lgs masak air.
bener ajaaa, gelap tiba2 serumah2, intip jendela, yaaahhhh org laen terang.. see, see, bener ajeee.. groarr.. tp krn airnya jg uda anget akhirnya memutuskan untuk mandi dulu dgn bantuan lilin.
males banget buat pergi ke atm isi voucher listrik, ah uda malem ini pikirnya, ga perlu ac deh, buka aja horden, terang jg kok ada lampu tetangga.. tp pas liat bb n hp, wadawww uda koneng aja ni batre.. yah mo ga mau de, ke atm juga..
sambil d jln, mulai tanpa sadar mikirrr, napa sih ada sistem ky gini.. ngerepotin nh.. ah ambil untung aja nih, prepaid system.
mustinya org dikasi pilihan donk.. klo mau postpaid n pasti bayar knp ga postpaid aja sh.. huh huh huh.. blm lg klo atm nya rusak (pdhl jls2 atmnya deket, sepi ,lancar)... ngedumel de akhirnya..
tp trs tiba2 kaya ada yg ngingetin.. dulu pas di cina juga prepaid system. belinya jauh lg, d kantor sekolah, ga bs sembarang atm.. ngantri sm org cina tau sndiri.. blm lg klo wiken cm buka setengah hari.. jd klo sabtu sore tiba2 abis listrik, ya alamat gelap gulita de mpe senin. klo lg winter, males bgt jalan ksananya.. summer jg, panasnya bikin basah kuyup.. duh, difficult times bgt de klo uda deket2 abis listrik.
hm, iya ya, well at least disini banyak hal yg bisa disyukuri.. hal A mungkin lbi baik, hal B mungkin lebi buruk.. try to enjoy it aja deh..
akhirnya 10 menit yg lalu rumah kos saya uda terang benderang lagi...
....cuma...sy baru sadar klo aqua abis... dan i cuma pny sisa aqua setengah gelas..
anak kos... anak kos... untung alfa mart di depan kompleks..

Pasir Panjang Beach, Singkawang, MUST visit!!

Having a chance to visit West Borneo, we didn't miss the chance to enjoy Pantai Pasir Panjang  (Long Sand beach) in Singkawang.
Every people knew that we're going to Pontianak and Singkawang all said that we should not miss the beach....and its hill... :-)
We were thankful for our brother and sisters, Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Christin and Wisda who warmly hosted us and drove us to Rindu Alam hill and Pasir Panjang beach. We only had 2 hours in the morning to visit all the places as well as having breakfast. Applause for Singkawang's traffic and road.
And the beach......is....beautiful... They have more 'cotton' clouds than people there :-D
Warm day...
Blue sky...
Green blue sea...
Yellow sand...
Praise Abba!
Singkawang derives from its Chinese name,
山口洋, shan kou yang. Shan 山 is mountain, as we can see on our right hand. kou 口 is mouth, the shape of the area. Yang 洋 is the ocean.
amazing place, must go! (^_^)Y
How to get there?
Jakarta to Pontianak flight 1.5 h by Garuda. And then take taxi travel to Singkawang for 70.000Rp. Singkawang is 3 h driving diatance from Pontianak.

Bobrok

Manusia itu sangat bobrok ternyata. Hati dan motivasinya kadang tersembunyi, namun apabila kita cek, really we are helpless broken and wretched before God. Bahkan ketika kita awal mau ikut Tuhan aja kita ga punya kok kesadaran penuh bahwa kita ini berdosa, mau mengasihi Tuhan dan bertobat, rindu melayani dan mengikut Tuhan (at least for me). Ga ada kalau kaya gitu keselamatan jadi hasil usaha kita x ya..

1. Si anak bungsu mau balik ke papanya dgn motivasi perut lapar.. At least gua ga mati.. Ih, pekerja d rumah bapa aja makanannya berlimpah, sedangkan gua disini ampas babi haram aja ga dikasih. Yada gua mau minta ampun, n minta jadi budak aja, ga usa jd anak.
2. Wanita Samaria bhadapan dgn sumber air hidup...dia cuma mau sumber airnya dgn motivasi dia ga usa lg susah2 siang2 tengah hari bolong pepanasan ngambil air.
3. Yesus bilang sm org2 yg cari Dia stlh Dia nyebrangin danau Tiberias: lu org cari gua bukan krn mukjizat, tp krn lu uda makan roti.

Bobrok ya... Yes i am fully broken without You. Thank  u Tuhan uda pilih saya... Thank you buat grace, anugrah yg Tuhan taro brikan buat saya. Ajar saya Tuhan utk skrg hidupi hidup yg penuh anugrah ini dgn penuh tanggung jawab. Amin.

Please the Lord

I memorized this verse yesterday and was about texting my friend when I realized that her cellphone was off.
"When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7 ESV"

I almost forgot my plan to share with her when she suddenly texted me that she's one step ahead to her dream. Not saying that she has an enemy or what, but there are a few people who seem not understand her and hinder her from her dream. But yesterday, one of them finally understand her, moreover motivate her to run for it.

She, not a believer yet, said that she talked a lot with Abba the day before. She said that Abba really understands her.
Ow yeah!
When you please the Lord, when you do your part, He will absolutely do His part.
His time, his time, his time...

I'm glad... and also learned something today..

我最后一趟的317路

今天我坐了317路，应该是我最后一趟的317。我不是不会回来长沙，可是应该还要一段时间吧。而且，我希望下次来农大的时候已经有地铁了~\(≧▽≦)/~啦啦啦！！今天又是周末又是放完了烟花又是夏天，人特别挤。热得不得了。我是从河西回农大的，比较远，那么热的天气我坐到了没有空调的317。很好！还不到一站我就想我要不要下车打车回农大？我后来决定不打车，我要回忆一下我在长沙的记忆。

这三年在长沙我真学了很多，都是让我变得更好。有甜的、有苦的、也有酸的。

我还记得......

我第一个学期天天去食堂吃饭。一个小碗米饭和一个菜都吃不完。不知道是不是吃不惯或者天气太热了或者是太多了。应该不习惯吧，不习惯得到我第一次回国的时候发现瘦了至少8斤吧。不过现在~~~我上次回国的时候都很想很想吃湘菜而且长胖了  

我还记得......

我在农大没有同胞。第一年虽然每天跟其他留学生一起，不过吃饭的时候没有人跟我聊天儿。我都听不懂他们的语言，没办法沟通。英文不行，中文更不行。没有什么朋友，应该会很孤独吧？不过回头看那时候，我想起我天天起的很早祷告、看圣经。中午、晚上也如此。上帝陪伴着我。

我还记得......

不到两个月在中国就过“十一”了，那时是中国第60年国庆节。还不会用汉语交流我们留学生去湘江看了烟花。谁知道长沙人有那么多？结果没有车回来。我们从河西走路快到火车站了。  

还记得......

每周日去聚会要先坐两个小时的车。来回四个小时。

还记得......

在实验室跟张娟学背诗。“粒粒皆辛苦”

我记得......

第一天长沙开了星巴克以后我很高兴！

我记得......

第一次跟吕圆见面她特别热情得一直让我拍照。那时候谁知道我们会变成这么好的朋友。

我还记得......

我手机在食堂附近被偷了。许博都看到了我哭了  没有那个手机我都没跟印尼朋友亲戚发短信了。用小手机打abc很麻烦。结果我的话费少了很多 

我也记得......

我的实验实在麻烦。

有一次做实验冰箱突然坏了。我的鱼也都坏了。  别人用它的时候都不坏呢，为什么我用的时候它坏啊？那我无法只能重新做。不过没关系，因为这个王老师给我更新的冰箱，而且是在我们自己的实验室，不用又麻烦爬来爬去6楼了。everything happens for a reason. Goddesigns it. 我继续学习相信他的安排是最好的。学习不仅是读完书或做完实验，学习也要学到怎么做更好的人，更有智慧、品味的一个人。这样才能给周围的人好影响。

还有.......

每次肯定要问别人帮忙。我是一个比较独立的人，一般不会直接说我需要帮忙。但是，在这里我学习被帮忙，感觉到别人的爱。

一般人不相信我是外国人。

跟泰国人出去时一般被别人问：你是她们的翻译啊？

有一次跟俄罗斯朋友打车，司机以为我是中国人。司机很吃惊我那位朋友的汉语说得很好并且说“她也是外国人啊！”。没想到，司机把车停在路边然后看着我并说“不可能！” 现在坐出租车司机虽然还问我“你是外地来的吧？广东的吧？”不过我已经能解释清楚我是华人。 

我现在也没有觉得我是外国人。在中国朋友的宿舍曾经过过夜了。还可以。睡得觉啊！别人问我是哪里的，我就顺口地说长沙的。 

我朋友说：3年 是一段够的时间使人改变。（3 years is enough to change people).没错儿！

虽然有时候我们的路看来很复杂，不过其实只要努力一定有路。上面的照片里有很多红绿灯，远远地看是很复杂的。不过如果从每个角度看的话那是没问题的。

这三年变成了我甜蜜的记忆！谢谢大家！
