bob syndrome

I think i have dispersed short hair syndrome to my younger sister....she just cut her hair short today...hmm....Kanpei BOB CHICS!

GURU

AHA! never expected this will come into my life, teaching experiences! I am now embarking on teaching profession at English First, phew...so much to adjust, so much to learn, sometimes my brain feel more stupid and foolish than before because like Eldrige says "in the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled" (i have been absorbing so much disclosures).....

Hence,finally i can feel why my lecturers always said that they are not walking dictionary...yeah,we are not...still being a teacher your capacity of knowledge needs to be wider and deeper...as you go deeper,you unlock more odds beyond the ordinary..phew...it ain't easy but im enjoying my new experience though...the students i have met, the other teachers and co-workers.....they tend to shape me better bits by bits..

im looking forward to the challenges!God gives me wisdom and strength and pureness :]

Jesus bless teachers around the world!Amen....

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.  ~Thomas Huxley

NOW

Hisashiburi! (it has been a while Japanese version)


one thing extraordinary thing that i did to myself these months that hovered in a blink, i have my hair cut really super short.... it was a superb feeling! No contrite feeling of losing my long hair :D.. i'm comfortable with my this new bob hair. The same statement when i met my acquaintances were "are you having a heart broken?" cliche but no im absolutely feeling good!it's just that indeed my long hair had given me many problems, for instance:Hair Loss (scarier more than i thought it would be), i was freaked out if it's going to get worse so i cut it short and while receiving intensive treatments,i am also experimenting a new style. im thankful to my superb aunt for owning a salon business that i can save big penny to splurge on treatment and hair do all the time.


Some of my attitude changed after i cut my hair short, even my taste in clothing... i also walk differently sometimes...ah i think this supposedly what they normally called a breakthrough...hmm....


I'm gonna miss my long hair though, and i will wait for my hair to grow long...hopefully this time it's going to be in a healthier condition :]


Adios! Peace be upon you......

静止 - stillness

My last post was last year, and it was a Chinese lyric...i couldn't remember why the song affected me so much back then but it should be because one of those strand in my romance narrative which sometimes i prefer to keep it low but other times i would like to tell the whole world how lovely the love stories are. Yet, I have this coward weakness of admitting how happy i am cos i know at another turn in the seconds,the lowliest kind of feeling might be waiting for you.I still can't get used to it.Who does anyway?
This is why these days,i'm learning to embrace it with iron-willed kind of heart!Spartan!!

i would like to give a toast to those who survived these ordeals cos it ain't easy at all!Kanpai!

you cant fight the wind and you cant hide the sun you can only take a long deep breath and brace it one more time. 

Within all,i wished i can keep my stillness and remember to be still...to be always "me"

God bless you

心里有数

和你用完了晚餐 陪你走一段

这条小巷 怎么走不完

能够说的都说完 没话题别勉强

分开了那么久 有什么遗憾

都应该遗忘

爱不爱你我心里有数

反正不能回到最初

原谅是一种天赋

寂寞的话我也懂得应付

没有谁比较无辜

两人在一起 不一定幸福

你在谁的国度 我不想在乎

其实没有你想象 那么的严重

你离开我 没破坏什么

时间的疗伤作用 你不得不认同

我们还是朋友 就只是朋友

现在到以后

爱不爱你我心里有数

反正不能回到最初

原谅是一种天赋

寂寞的话我也懂得应付

没有谁比较无辜

两人在一起 不一定幸福

你在谁的国度 我不想在乎

爱不爱你我心里有数

反正不能回到最初

原谅是一种天赋

寂寞的话我也懂得应付

没有谁比较无辜

两人在一起 不一定幸福

你在谁的国度 我不想在乎

teka ning jogja yuk!

 This is my first trip with life-long bestfriends after i moved to Jakarta, it is incredibly memorable! Our plan at first, was to go to Bangkok.. We already booked the accomodation and bought the ticket to Bangkok, but while we are counting the days to Bangkok, there are unfortunate accident happened to Bangkok cos of dreadful drought (ps:pray for Bangkok) so in the last minute, we decided to go to Djogjakarta and visit one of the 7 wonders of the world,Borobudur. Since this is our first time there, we really anticipated our trip!Although there are some small disputes before going there,still,we get through it cos great friends bond in woe and joy!

We went to Goa Pindul on the last day before our evening flight, cos on the last night staying at Djogja, some local told us about that place we shouldnt missed to go..Cave tubing is an once in lifetime experience i bet?Great outbound and a real close to nature!you might not know what it is inside the cave but that is the excitement which gives delirious thrill and it was my first time jumping off from a not really tall cliff but a good try cos i dont really know how to swim, so it's a 50-50 of boldness..

We got the chance to see the silver workshop where the silver artist( by the way the skills are inherited from the generation through generation, so they are born to be silver artist) are well adepted and one piece of work can cost up to Rp 45 million :]
I also got the chance to do batik painting!they are amazing woman with beautiful craft~

We also managed to go to Keraton (the Sultan Palace) and learned many historical artefacts or story of Java kingdom, and one thing that captured me is the camera that used by Sultan Hamengku Buwono lX, an epic polaroid XD

And Borobudur, one of the amazing and wondrous thing Man in this world can created, every walls has its stories and we were lucky to have a capable guide who tell us many informations that we might not come across on our daily lives. In addition,we had a "romantic" ambience at Borobudur due to the rain!outstanding colorful umbrella eh,behind the gray walls..

 Thanks to Bobby and Cynthia, we got to see the famous Merapi volcano at last, because each time when we want to go there, rain poured heavily in Djogja and it was very dangerous to go there because of hard haze.
That 3 kids standing on the edge, infront of them is dont know how many thousand feets of ravine. We dont even dare to go anywhere near there.
not even a parental guidance..what if the city kids who are standing there, imagine it?

 We reached Merapi almost in the late noon, so the haze started to blanket the volcano slowly, cant really see the tip of the volcano but at some point we were able to see the mouth where the monstrous larva come out.

 And the foods in Djogja obviously good!! and they had some creative and unique restaurants, such as Jejamuran(all foods based on mushrooms,delicioushroom!), Artemy Gelato (nice gelato and elegant interior), Kali milk (fresh milk with many flavours,all worth trying) and one unique restaurant that serves a gigantic porridge with a very reasonable price,you can find it only at House of Raminten.......

You won’t shed any tears no matter how hard it gets

Your tenderness won’t let anyone around you be sad

Because it contains an undefeatable strength

When I look in your eyes

Your thoughts come to me without words

I won’t give up, I’ll keep trying, you say

As you show me gentle smiles

Your smiling face shines brighter than anyone

Even the cloudy sky clears up

I’ve climbed over countless high walls

So nothing scares me, I’m not alone

We’re all living under the sky

I regretted not being able to reply

All the days I cried alone are connected to the “present”

Now they’re trying to make a large flower bloom

Stuffed in your small chest

Lies a heart as huge as the sky

Don’t cry, it’ll be alright, you say

As your smile wraps around me

The stars show their faces as you sleep

Someone is praying under the same sky

That you can still smile when tomorrow comes

I’m watching over you from far away

We’re all living under the sky

A soft wind blows

And the city quietly begins to take color

Your smiling face shines brighter than anyone

Even the cloudy sky clears up

I’ve climbed over countless high walls

So nothing scares me, I’m not alone

We’re all living under the sky

Ayaka

i will wait for you

Hongkong and Mainland

How i Love HongKong and how i wished that i can go back there again and again and again...

 I like the flyover,the roads in Hongkong, neatly coordinate and road users are abiding law citizens!thumbs up!and the road is clean!

 Billboards light up almost in every street especially in Thsim Tsa Tsui area,or the night markets!the night is forever busy!

 We stayed in a hotel called Panda Hotel that almost every things in the hotel have the panda image on or design like one :]:]:] i love panda!

the central of Hongkong is my background across the river,from kowloon to Hongkong island took an hour of ferry ride.

 in the midst of our sightseeing, there is this Christian group worshiping and giving a bag of devotional (in mandarin). Many join them hymning. i was amazed,there were different tourists who came together praising the Lord. Wherever we are,God is with us.

 A day trip to ShenZhen, this is at the window of the world, where there is mini Eiffel at our background. The temperature is really hot that we only managed to take a few shots!woooots x

 

thanks to them, toni and friends, we got to try choutoufu!im loving it!love love love it!

Beijing road @Guangzhou, endless street of shopping stalls...full of crowd but we decided to go back there again if we had chance!hah!

and from this trip, i dread the most is one: i didnt have the time to go to DISNEYLAND!so close yet i cant make it!argh!next trip...next trip....hopefully soon...<3

second: i cant meet my violetboy who is just another 2 hour plane ride from GuangZhou :'[

till we meet again......

batam island short trip!

i mentioned my trip before but the picture is here now!yay!

 

This cruise is identical to JUMBO seafood restaurant (dragon boat) in Hongkong or Singapore, this is the baby size..the restaurant is not open yet but we can get the chance to tour inside the cruise

 Can you actually see the PLANE? i still remember clearly the feeling of lying together with my bestie looking at the beautiful sky,a little taste of heaven~i missed them already :']

bright colour always gives a nice background so we had a short session of "pre-wed" photoshoot :P

 i forgot what the resort called,but it has nice view with private boats around!and water sports..

Oke,compare this picture and picture below...Dina took this picture for us and below,i took it!i just found out that i was really bad taking "on air" shots..bah!they grumble alot at me cos i tried 10 times :/ and still couldnt take one great shot..hihi..Dina is a Pro!^^

This is another resort,at Sekupang..many Buddhist come here to pray because there is a big statue of Kwam Im here.

bridal makeover

This is some of my clients...some of my works ^^

 

i used to have an aversion on doing this job,this line,because i feel this job is really onerous!literally.....every person has their different flaws to cover and we need to find out their glowing sides to bring out their best.Especially when it is for studio shoot...each details on the facial portrayal and hair need to be overlook carefully.i had my moment of tension but thanks to God,i was given the confidence and strength to keep going despite the critics and pressure of doing it perfectly.

I also realised one thing when im doing this job,i observed it many times that whoever the lady is,whether she is naturally a beautiful person,has a mediocre look or a so-so person... they are eventually turn out to become the most beautiful woman,or a very beautiful lady after bride makeover. i believe is not only through the works of a make-up artist but because all creation of God is indeed amazingly created.furthermore,they are going to be a happy bride as they are those the lucky ones to be able to meet with their destined partner.

anyway,my aunt is really super duper pro make up artist, and i look up upon her...she can change anyone to be at their best,whether the groom or the bride.In the mean time as i work progressively,i also work on the improvements and i will work really hard for the perfection!

if those living in Jakarta,feel free to check out our bridal!

i like explanations

Ah~ah~ah~ now i took ages to post something in my blog even at the moment i have so much to say but i just couldnt sit down nicely and type insanely...

1.I always feel tired when i reached home, the only thing in my mind is always a nice shower and my bed.
2. the wi-fi modem is under repair,and it has been repairing until i dont know when it will be fixed so i need to go to living room for surfing the internet and i always get attention of what im doing with my lappie which i dont like that at the end,i felt slack doing it.
3.Now, im having long term break....before that,several weeks ago...i was having lingering madness to get the term over.it was overwhelming.. long queue of projects and theory papers to study!now it's finally over and i have already seen my term results,at least the effort paid off,well,good enough.
4.though i am having term break now,i cant be a bummer at home,or go wherever as i wish,as some of you know i work as a make up artist in my aunt's bridal and there are many couples having pre-wed shoots and the d-day of the wedding days almost on every week so im getting attached with the bridal almost everyday.
5.there are pending post coming up! ^^

community called love

it was really raining raining raining so heavily out of sudden when i was about to go to this cell group at City Tower,and i had to argue with my family because they thought it was really dangerous for me to go anywhere at that time. Well,i made my choice and i choose to go because i thought i dont want to owe another excuses for a friend who was waiting for me to come.after two years living in Jakarta,i decided to step my feet back again into this community called FA,two years was such a long time but poof it feels like yesterday. Before i reached this FA, the rain didnt stop but the car stopped,yea this things happened so often in Jakarta,stucked in the gridlock traffic,and time is clicking so fast. im used to it already,and there is nothing to blame,you just had to figure out the way to be save from the situation so i got out from the car and walked under the rain surrounded by men and women dressed in executive uniforms trying to fight the rain along Sudirman district. it feels so good somehow!XD
So when Andri,the leader said do you really need to go through all this trouble to do something,even simple things like going to tonight FA?is it worth it?.....he said,well,it's not about that,it's about the commitment you make within yourself. ahah *jing a ling jing*, yea,i felt it..it's true about commitment,even the tiny little thing you promise you will make it happen, all those bricks that comes in your way, they will be broken in two because you keep telling yourself,deep in your heart it says that it must be done,it must be done. I said i cant turn back,i cant go home with empty purpose and im tired giving reasons cos im tired of others will think is just another excuses.. so with a skin that feel so thicked i reached at the fa with more than an hour late and everyone is new to me except for Andri and Steven.a very good first impression eh,but after i explained to them how i got there,they were totally understood,'heavy rain eh?traffic jam?'..see this is the thing about living here,you are easily understood for giving those reasons when you are late.
another thing that is "jing a ling jing",andri said about the robotic life in our lives,again i feel so close to it and this is why my two years i passed with less meaning,not so meaningful and recently i just realised it,feel so strong in my mind that something has gone wrong and i need to fix it..yea,that night conclude it all..in this robotic life we live,we sometimes need to change the mechanic of life by ourself,we cant depend on others to make it a happening life so why dont we start to give first rather than we wait for others to give it to us? Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return
and being back at the fa again,it's not only about the new people i met but i feel so glad to be in the ring where i can feel what i used to feel back then in fa blessed,and yes im officialy so officially missed FA BLESSED!i miss each everyone of you.....

yet!
