good music comes with not-so-friendly price
I really want to watch this and this!
But the cheapest sections has been sold out, and so does the student concession tickets 
And Coldplay’s coming on March 23rd. How come every good music comes to Singapore this sem? Huhuhu…I cannot possibly spend more money after the Jason Mraz ticket. Should I fast to save money? (Okay I’m exaggerating)

It’s been a while since my last time I watched football match. In fact, my last post about this dated Oct 26, 2008. So thank God for recess, at least it freed me from guilty feeling of staying up till 7 am 
. Yesterday I watched Inter vs MU with some friends in TV lounge. Yes I watched with friends. Finally I did something social 
But today, there will be two big matches at the same time (at first we thought it will be one match after another, so we still can watch together) and some guys are just Juve lovers. Wew what can I do then? Of course I HAVE TO watch Real Madrid – Liverpool. So I was back to my ansos state, watching the match from TVU (oh how I love this programme! 
).
And I can’t really decide which team I support. Well of course Liverpool, but Real Madrid was my favorite team. And I love Iker Casillas since junior high. I want him to make a clean sheet. So I was hoping for 0-0. However, it would be a good result for Liverpool since they played away.
The final score is Real Madrid 0 – 1 Liverpool. Wow. I’m kinda surprised. Because at the beginning, it was Real who dominated the match. Maybe because the Reds’ captain was not on the lineup. Liverpool catched up, and the game became quite even, with a little bit on Real’s side. They won more battles of midfield. Both the goalkeepers were good, they made critical saves. Well not much, because the shots were quite few also.
Just 10 mins before final whistle, when I thought they would just play it 0-0, there it was. The freekick and the goal that made it 0-1 for Liverpool. The goal that gave the fans the courage to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in Santiago Bernabeu. Thanks to Yossi Benayoun 
I can say it’s a fair result, but yes Liverpool had a better luck this time. This result is extremely good because next match at anfield, Liverpool will need only a draw to secure their next stage.

a year
I just want to say: happy anniversary to this blog! It’s been a year since the first time I tried to write what was on my mind, and I enjoyed every time I open this site and start writing. Thank you for everyone who has ever been here, read my posts, and especially those who left their thoughts. Some I like, some I hate, but I appreciate them. Thank you.
So after a year, 14 pages, 248 posts, 650 comments, and 14,868 total views, here I am. Still writing, still learning, still sharing. And yes I’ll never walk alone
ignoring my ego or being ansos
PM gue di msn juga mempertanyakan hal yang sama. Ga penting sih, gue cuma mempertanyakan apakah gue harus ikut FOC alias GTD kalo disini. Tadinya gue udah plan mo ikut satu portfolio sih. Tapi yah secara gue naturally born ansos, males sih sebenernya kalo mau jujur. Meskipun 3 hari itu fun, tapi banyak hal yang gue gak setuju dengan tradisi GTD.
Contoh aja, gue males harus balik Singapur lebih awal. Disaat gue masih bisa nonton dvd dan blanja mangdu di Jakarta. Ditambah lagi, balik 2 minggu lebih awal brarti overspend at least $150 blom termasuk transport lalalala. Okelah harus persiapan, tapi persiapan yang penting aja. Bukan persiapan nari-nari di tengah ruangan. Kalo next sem rumah juga belom pasti, wah lengkap lah males aja balik awal. Belum lagi ketika freshie dateng ada jadwal ketemuan tiap hari menjelang GTD.
Ohya menurut gue juga nggak penting setiap post harus ada signature movement gitu. Jadi suka maksa.
Dan gue nggak suka kalo harus bantuin jualan buat fundraising. I don’t really like to interact with ppl when I have to force them to buy something I wouldn’t want to buy if I were them.
Temen-temen gue nggak ikut. Then siapa yang bisa bareng ngomel-ngomel when the day’s over?
.
Tampaknya gue emang gabisa menghargai keceriaan. Dan terlalu banyak excuse. Renungan Harian kemaren bahkan menyarankan gue untuk lebih sosial, tapi gue nggak pengen bikin dosa dengan marah-marah. Lebih baik gue jadi penonton pasif aja lewat facebook

Life is not about getting all the answers. It’s about looking for it, searching for it. We do many things to know the answer we want. But most of the time, we need help. From friends, family, from God. We ask for answers, we pray for answers. Some friends are capable to give you answers, when maybe some just don’t know what to say. Mother knows best for you, most of the time. But for the big questions, you have to ask the Creator. So we pray for it. And He will give you the answer, always. It’s only a matter of time. Because you ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open. The thing is, how often do we pray for the real answer? Do we want the truth? Or we just want to have some kind of approval from our God in heaven?
All this time I thought I don’t need help to find answers. Then there it comes, and I can’t answer it. So I prayed. For the answer. And the answer seems to appear. And it’s not the answer I wanted.
It’s just…hard to accept the answer. But I’m working on it. And I know that I will accept that. I just knew it

Dulu sebelom ke NTU gue jarang SaTe alias saat teduh. Bahkan bisa dibilang nggak pernah, walaupun buku pendukungnya tiap bulan dibagiin di gereja. Yah yang jelas ini pengaruh ga dibiasain di rumah, juga di sekolah (12 taon gue sekolah katolik) nggak dibilangin.
Di NTU inilah gue baru membiasakan untuk SaTe. Dan ya ampun, berat ya godaan dan cobaannya. Misalnya aja, eks rumet yang gak considerate, trus juga kecapekan abis kegiatan ini itu kalo mau SaTe malem. Kalo mau SaTe pagi keburu telat kelas. Dan yang paling utama sih, seperti biasa, males. Tapi gue uda bertekad gue harus memperbaiki hubungan gue sama Tuhan.
Mungkin juga karena baru dibiasain, gue jadi rada kagok kalau berdoa. Kok rasanya, semua harus dipikir dan disiapin dulu. Seakan-akan berdoa tuh presentasi buat Tuhan. Padahal kan berdoa harusnya udah seperti bernafas. Alami. Tapi yah, gue belom sampai di tahap itu. Bahkan gue masih ga nyaman berdoa bareng-bareng. Makanya kalo prayer meeting, doa gue nggak konsen (maaf ya buat partner2 doa gue), jadi gue berusaha mendoakan lagi ketika gue lagi sendiri.
Tapi masalah gue yang paling utama kalo berdoa: gue susah mengungkapkan masalah gue. Terkadang gue ngerasa, gue berdoa kayak kalo gue lagi ngomong sama bonyok gue di telpon. Tuhan nggak perlu tau masalah-masalah gue. Itu semua cuma masalah kecil lah buat Dia. Gue bisa atasin sendiri.
Yeah. Sombong banget kan?
Belakangan ini, gue sedikit disadarkan. Setelah berhari-hari tanpa motivasi dan kondisi badan yang nggak jelas. Gue akhirnya menyerah, gue ambil saat teduh yang lama dalam diam. Bersenandung amazing grace. Kontemplasi. Baca satu kitab dari study bible, dan satu nyanyian pujian. Berdoa dalam gelap total. Bercerita semua yang gue rasakan. Minta pertolongan-Nya.
Rasanya damai banget.

Tujuh jam empat puluh menit kemudian, gue bangun dengan semangat baru. Gue ikut sebagian besar kelas hari ini setelah 3 hari bolos all-day.

Thank you, Father. Thank you to remind me, that I can’t do this all alone.
how’s your valentine?
So how’s your valentine’s day? For myself, after a dizzy morning that makes me skip mentoring session, I was thinking to ansos all day. But then I met a few friends at the canteen so we had a long talk, and my ISCF friend ask me to come with them, going somewhere and watch something.
After an msn conference, we booked eleven seats at Vivo’s GV. Then suddenly another two friends joined us, and another one. So yesterday there were 14 of us, on 14th of February, the valentine’s day, and all are singles. Everywhere we look, there were couples, especially in the vivo rooftop. Oh my. I envy them
We watched “Slumdog Millionaire”. And it was excellent. Love the flow of the story. Even though there are still some scenes which I cannot see. But overall, it’s a great movie, and you should watch it too
I jokingly said before the movie that it will not be an Indian movie if there are no mass dances around the pillars. And suddenly right before the end, they performed the mass dance
It was a memorable saturday. Thanks all

once a month
Looks like I’ve found the source of all symptoms I’ve suffered since last week : my period has come for this month. Together with my hypotension plus low-level stress.
That’s the good news. The bad news, I have to suffer yet another series of symptoms because of this monthly sickness, both emotional and physical, including extreme abdominal and joint pain. And I have to do that monthly ritual: drink lots and lots of water, consume painkillers, eat a lot (I just cannot control my appetite), and starting this month, I start to consume Sangobion.
I skip all my classes today. And it was a right decision. Just now when I walk to ISCF fellowship in SAC, I feel pain in my abdomen again, although I have consumed a painkiller today. I knew it’s not good to rely on painkillers, but without it I just can’t do anything when the pain comes.
Sometimes there are times when I really hate being a girl. Luckily it’s just once a month.
