Pictures

For ages, I have not posted any pictures *wink*

Well, though I don't have any fans to read the blog *who cares anyway :P*, here is some pictures to make myself happy and to let my family "touch" by miss busy...

Here is when a miss busy feels pretty - tough I am in the middle of exam preps.


Notice: the lucky duck - actually the blue duck. I was a gift from my mom.



Most of my friend is busy with the new serries of the ugly betty - the american version I should say. I have not got any time to check it out, but it seems funny. So, what I decide to post "My own ugly betty"

here is the ugly betty "my version" :)

Looking at myself with the specs really funny. Yet, I am happy that I can be that ugly.

Let's see what else do I have...


Thinking or what?!?













Well, I think that's all for now.. I need to study... Here is the picture that I was about to send to my mom via mms, but lousy t-mobile (or was it my 6233)



all the courtesy to my 6233, thanks for taking my picture quite ok lah.. hehehe:)

Have a nice day everyone.. hope you don't get bored...

Amazing

Well, nothing really special about today, but the amazing part was yesterday.

Yesterday, we were supposed to submit our assignment at 2.00 hours. I was totallu dying and was about to 'eat' anyone who ever try to disturb my rest. The day before, around 23.00 (if I am not mistaken), Miki called and asked about the assignment - don't remember what. I was pretty 'flying' in the sense of sleeping.. so, I answered everything in rush. BUT, I did mention that please help me to submit my assignment. (click - phone off)

Yesterday morning, Yo me levanto at 06.00 and found my mobile with one misscall - it was Miki at 2.07. I quickly thought maybe he wanted to tell me that everything was alright - yet he did not bother calling me if something had not happened, I supposed. So I continued reading, studying. eating and having my quality time with God. The verse I read was about guarding your mouth. To be exact, the title was: The Power of What You Say.
The verse use to reminds us is

"If you want a happy, good life,
keep control of your tongue,
and guard your lips from telling lies."
(1 Peter 3:10)

Today's word from my fave preecher (Joel Osteen and wife) is:

The Bible teaches to choose your words wisely. In fact, God's Word says life and death are in the power of the tongue. That's why you need to be very careful about what you say each day. Your words can either be a positive and encouraging influence, or a discouraging one. It may be easier to grumble and become negative when things aren't going your way, but God calls you to speak words that strengthen and lift others up. When you do that, you will be blessed as well. Today, experience a new sense of joy by speaking positive words of faith and victory over your life and those around you.

I, then, was wondering that
what am I going to say today?!? Am I going to scold somebody?!? I don't think that I would be easily get angry - except to those I knew well...

Teng...teng...teng... teng... until 12 times - means 12.00 noon
I was on the way to the tram halte and thought that it's time to ask Miki.
(I guess by this time you can guess what has happening)

My assignment was not submitted. Why? He did not know (or realise) to do so, in which I had mentioned it for about 3 times.

I was so pissed off!!!
I was so angry!!!
I was about to slap or kick sb!!!

Yet, I chose to put down the phone and went back home to send the assignment via email - to date I dunno if they accept (still) my late submission. The only words come out from my mouth was 'keterlaluan' - which literaly means: echt (Dutch) - not sure what was in English. Maybe 'excessive' or to be exact is unacceptable.

I went to school with two option.

1. Ruin my day
2. Laugh about it

I chose the second one
and
I could not thank more to Him

I forgave Miki before he said sorry... and I am laughing about it. Besides, from those three assignementsI have made two already. So, maybe this time, some other people could make use of this opportunity.

See how amazing scripture is. He knows way before you know what going to happen.

The funny thing my friend says (text):
"that's good. I have never seen your reaction when you were upset, but considering your character (or type of people) you could be very scary. Congratulation! Learn from your mistake (sort of)" ~translated from Indonesian~

I win. I conquer the battle with Him. I am glad.

~Miki feels guilty and buys me dinner - I have to admit he is smart, my weakness is in food~

Lesson to learn:
You choose your day... ruin it or laugh it... yet it's your life that you are going to ruin or spice up.

Buenos Días everyone

Honestly, I haven't got any plan what to write. Yet, it seems that today is the day when a new entry must be in the blog-chart. Heuheuheue :)

My plan for today is to study and study again, I hope I will not waste that much time again... well, I actually did not considered it as wasting time as I am enriching myself with the wisdom of God. I did not realise that God has been great and fulfilling my need everyday. Yesterday, the time which I spent for worrying my future, I realised that He has given me much more than I had expected. Give me instances? Right, here they are....

I have always worried that I will not find any job, that I will not be able (sort of) repay back my parent 'investment', that I will just waste it like that when I am starting my family - you know when a woman get married and just abandon her degree like that.

Well, surely if I have reached this stage so far, there is no way to turn back as this is what I want - though initially I was not sure about it

Just imagine that your parent have invested- say a price of a house and a nice car and for not being so selfish instead - and you might not be able to repay back in the next two years (unless you win a lottery), what will be in your mind? I know that my parent often says that it is not a loan, it is not debt - look how amazing parent is! Yet, I cannot help it when I think the investment they made! It is HUGE amount!!! This is why I and many of us (who know how much their parent pay and try -very hard- to hold their own needs) starts worrying. The 'what if' question always haunt me.

But yesterday... I saw many opportunity, found many loves surrounding me, and realised how great is our God. I have my family surrounding and supporting me which I am sure I will not die or 'stranded' somewhere without having any decent job. I just realised that my worries has overcome my mighty God. The quotes from Joel Osteen is so true:

Do not magnify your problem, but magnify your God!

You see... it is about magnifying the problem that I cannot see the way He prepared (yes, already!!!) I am just so thankful that holy spirit show me how great my Lord is... It is a new experience for me... also, one other quotes from my RBC online devotion The Our Daily Bread
is:

Study the bible to be wise; belive it to be safe; practice it to be holy

Definitely cool! ~ makes me wondering what I am doing this years ~ So, really, it is an awesome day for me... especially my title shows you the weather of today! Yup, Rotterdam in a nice mood... everything so bright and sweet to me... isn't it incredible that weather can give you so much influence?!? (i know it has been researched before, just don't get it why?)

I guess I better starts my study now... So many chapters to go... Oh one nice verse for you:

Philipians 4: 13
I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me

Ciao

Bible is the best book - ever!!!

FYI, I am Christian and very proud of it...

Often I heard that Bible is sb's fave book. I know the facts that bible is:

• the best seller book of any best seller book in this world
• the most translated book in this world
• and that every family, at least in UK, will not feeling 'complete' in their home library w/o having one

However, until 10 minutes ago, I did not realise that Bible is that AWESOME!!!

Last night, I watched and listened to the free-watch video of Joel Osteen preeching. For you who don't know who he is, check out www.joelosteen.com - He is the Senior Pastor in Lakewood Church, Houston, Texas. Well, to have more details just check out the web provided.
This time the theme is Let God be Involved in Every Area of Life. I will not spoil the good things in his preaching - God's mighty words - so, really check it out!!! The important thing I learn is adopt a new lifestyle:

Acknowledge God (constantly)

About the past 10 minutes (I was actually on the toilet "uploading"), I was reading an inspirational book by Alice Grey which is already translated into Indonesian. One of those many story that struck me is the chapter where a bible verse was quoted. The verse is taken from the book of Philippians, and it is as follow:

Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through Him who gives me strength
(New International Version)

At the moment, I am actually facing the day where I cannot see my self as God's army, because I cannot do anything good or best. It starts with my exam period which is going to come in December, and I see that I have so much things to do beforehand. I am so scared, so weak, unconfident that I can pass all of my exam - it sounds like I lose my battle already without giving any fights?!? (I hate this situation) - yet, at the same time, I have to encourage myself, support myself that I am not going to let my burden dissapoint and ruin my life, but instead I will face it with the power and presence of God. To give you simple example, I had my study planned three days ago and planned to finish reading some chapter today. In reality, I cannot finish it because I fall a sleep (I dunno why I am so tired). This hurts me as I cannot fulfil my plan.

Nevertheless, the verse above has give me new strength from God. If you ask me how, here is the answer. I believe that Jesus is my lord and that He is the way, the truth and the life. He promised me that I can do everything through Him as he is the one who gives me strength. Also, his promise never fails. Isn't awesome?

Joel in his preaching reminds me that Nothing is too powerfull to hold us back or even limiting our God!!! so apart of Him, we can do nothing. [I am the living testimony of Him!!! - ask me! =)]

So, for you all who is in the same situation as me, don't give up. Here, I am facing the same thing as you, yet I choose not to give up but cast it all to God. I am living by His grace and I am living for His grace. In other words, I am going to life as what He has planned for me and I am doing my best to get it.

Ora et Labora people!!!

Do you receive it today? (Joel Osteen)

God bless u all

Just Now...

Just now, I realised why I did not have any feeling (or mood) to do anything, despite all the reading that need to be finished... I have my period!!! Really makes me so tired and clueless...

Just now, I spent my precious time with watching Indonesian VCD 'Gua Kapok Jatuh Cinta'
Not a recommended movie, why? BORING...

Just now, I ate Maltesers and recommend you to eat it when you depressed...

Just now, I had my coffee for the second time... usually it works when you need to do something important such as making assignment or reading sth...

Just now, I screamed to encourage myself to work harder!!!

Just now, I recalled that I have many things to do.. better work on it now...

Just now, I loved myself for being me...

Nonetheless, I am happy God made me for who I am... coz I am special and so do you...

New Wireless Card

The first day I get into my housing in R'dam, I was told that we use a wireless in this house for the internet.

*excited - as finally that old rubbish wireless adaptor can have some utility*

But what??? It turned out to be working for several weeks and then becoming crap stuff.

*yet, I still put my faith on it*

I keep tyring till I fed up, and turn back to cable instead. It works and I am happy.
Yesterday, I tried the old 'unknown-brand' wireless adaptor again in my uni HotSpot! Again, it turned me down!

*I decided to put it on a museum now!*

So this afternoon, I went to MediaMarkt (MM) just after my meeting finished and bought the new wireless card! Gosh!!! I was so confused when I have to choose as they have such terms that I don't even bother to know, but I don't want to buy rubbish good just for the sake of the cheap price. The salesman recommended SITECOM and tt was not as expensive as I thought € 19.99. Excellent....

Talk about gadget, last sunday I checked some website as I was thinking to buy an external HD. One of the cheapest one in town was the 500GB External HD from Western Digital for My Book series! from MM. Unfortunately after checking my account, I hava less than enough to survive for the next 2 months. Today when I come to MM I saw it and really want to bump myself on them!!!

Ok..ok.. I am talking non-sense heh?!? No no... I did have story to tell, but I really have no idea where to start. Many things happened this week, from my bestfriend to my study. This week I have my busy week, but at the same time one of my best friend acting nuts - God knows the reasons. Also, I find myself clueless and lost... somewhere... somehow...

Maybe I should write again later... when my soul got back.

so little time, too much to do...

*collapse*
