:: Got Problems? ::
"In het hart des mans zijn veel gedachten, maar de raad des heeren die zal bestaan".
Nowadays, there are lot of people deal with problems. Problem is everywhere. Entah itu sama keluarga, temen2, sekolah, penyakit, keuangan, pekerjaan,... kayaknya semua masalah keluar dalam waktu yang bersamaan dan rasanya bikin kita cape banget.
Ada saat2 di mana segala yang kita lakukan kayanya udah ga ada artinya. Kita coba ambil langkah ke kanan, salah. Kiri, salah . Apa yang kita lakukan kayanya bikin kita malah bertambah masalahnya, dan bukannya berkurang. Kita sudah melakukan yang terbaik yang bisa kita lakukan, tapi masalah yang ada belum saja selesai.
Seperti gambar di atas, kalo misalnya kita sudah tidak kuat lagi dengan masalah kita, ga bisa ngapa2in lagi, buntu, dan bingung banget; Bersyukurlah kalau kita masih punya yang namanya Tuhan... Bukankah lebih baik kita bersandar sebentar kepada Dia, take a break, dan menyerahkan kendali yang ada padaNya?
Let God take over the control and let us work together with Him... bagaimanapun juga "Human's heart planned many things, but one who can decide is God."
Then.. my hope is for you guys to have a nice 'beauty' sleep tonight...posted by on 10:15 PM put

Monday, March 29, 2004:: Kesempatan... please? ::
Hari ini gw baca di koran tentang seorang swimmer/perenang, Ian Thorpe yang didiskualifikasikan untuk mengikuti 400 m freestyle swimming di Athens Olympic 2004, karena failure pada saat start.
Ada 2 kubu yang terbagi. Satu kubu berpendapat bahwa dia masih pantas untuk diberikan kesempatan, tetapi kubu satunya bersikeras, bahwa perenang proffessional tidak sepatutnya melakukan kesalahan seperti itu.
Yah, di atas itu cuma sebuah ilustrasi [well, not really an illustration]. Kejadian di atas banyak terjadi di kehidupan sehari-hari. Orang² kehilangan kesempatan begitu saja.
Ada orang² yang hanya memberi satu kali kesempatan dalam hidup ini, setelah itu? Tidak!. Dan ada juga sisanya yang mencoba untuk lebih berlapang dada.
Temen gw, Denny Asalim, barusan bilang ke gw, "Apakah kita sudah memberikan cukup kesempatan kepada orang lain?".
Hwa... Ian Thorpe... wish u all the best in 200m..posted by on 1:08 PM put

:: Be Faithful ::
Hari ini turunin seprai dan baju, terus stay at home and did my assignments.
Fortunately, I was able to finish one of many.
Malemnya, abis maen game Isketch yang bahasa Indonesia, gw telpon temen gw... kita uda jarang ngobrol, sekalinya ngobrol, kita sharing² masalah² kita.
Gw sempet bilang ke dia, "Kenapa susah sekali bwat gw untuk depend ke Tuhan 100%, paling mentok kayanya 75%, gaQ bisa bener² fully rely on God..."...
Masih ada aja pikira² gw yang takut kalo ada something yang terjadi, masih ada pikiran² gw yang bilang, "ah, masa sih my problem will be solved?".
Ahirnya malemnya ngobrol ama Willy, yah sempet terhibur juga sih karena dia. Gw biasanya positive thinking neh, cuman koQ lagih ngadat yah smwanya...
I wanna learn to be faithful, fully rely on God's Hand...

Question: Suppose your boyfriend/girlfriend is horribly burned in a car accident that was totally your fault. They are badly mutilated and fucking *pissed*. Is it time to say goodbye?
Answer? ....

I asked some frens, some said "oh well... never been in that situation, but maybe i'll leave him/her; some other said "i'll stuck wit him/her";then came up another group of opinion "i'll surely stay beside him/her even if i lose my love... it's my responsibility "... dan om tobi bilang, "yah gw benci habis manis sepah dibuang...."... etc.

Tuesday, March 23, 2004.:: Bar Course ::.
Hari ini minggu pertama gw ikutan bar course di Cambridge College - Australian Catering Association which is located in CT area.

Sekelas maximum 10 orang dan alhasil tadi gw satu² cw di kelas.... Orang² baek², apalagi gurunya, William yang udah gw ajak ngomong sepanjang break. He..He..He..

Monday, March 22, 2004.:: Survival of the Fittest ::.
Uang adalah segalanya.
Kata orang, supaya bisa punya power di dunia ini, kita harus punya yang namanya uang. Karena uang adalah sebuah kuasa yang tidak ada tandingannya. Dengan uang, orang bisa melakukan apa saja.
Kata orang, kebahagiaan memang tidak bisa dibeli, tapi kalau kita memiliki sesuatu yang namanya uang, itu bisa digunakan untuk meraih sebuah kebahagiaan.
Kata orang juga, uang itu adalah sumber bencana.
Benarkah uang itu survival of the fittest?

Sunday, March 21, 2004:: Autumn Sonata in March ::
Autumn di sini panas sekali, padahal harusnya udah lebih adem... mana mataharinya ga bagus buat kulit... *bisa skin cancer*... yang bikin kita harus rajin pake suncream... terus panas ini juga menyebabkan tingkat emosi orang meningkat... especially the anger part,...
Panas juga bikin orang jadi malessss banget dan ga niat ngapa²in kecuali diam di tempat yang ber-shadow untuk mengademkan diri dan menenangkan pikiran..
Panas gini, biasanya manusia menjadi lebih gosong daripada biasanya... bikin orang bule rela berpanas² berjemur sementara bagi sebagian besar orang asia... yang takut sampe gosong mereka memilih untuk bersembunyi di balik shade² dan menghabiskan waktunya di dalam building, atau keadaan yang paling parah adalah... memakai baju lengan panjang selama summer... takut untuk gosong ... kalo² sampe mengurangi kualitas diri..
Ajaib, kan? .
Musim panas adalah tempat bagi beberapa pasangan untuk mengakhiri hubungannya. Biasanya.. karena salah seorang dari pasangan tersebut tersengat kepalanya dengan panas matahari yang sangat² puanas itu. Jadi.. alasan mereka.. gaQ bisa berpikir jernih.. dan in the end.. putus .
Kalian kalo kepanasan sampe stress gaQ sih?? I'm crying out loud in this autumn... .posted by on 11:09 PM put
Saturday, March 20, 2004.:: The Day After Tomorrow ::.
Ini judul film yang bakal diputer worldwide tanggal 28 May. Producernya, Roland Emmerich, was the one who made "Independence Day". Hari ini gw liat trailernya di bioskop, sebelom nonton Hidalgo. The trailer is so powerful, giving me this really-wanna-watch-this-movie-feeling.
Kalo Independence Day ceritanya tentang bumi yang di invade sama alien, The Day After Tomorrow tidak bermusuhkan alien, tetapi alam. Yeah, or what we called nature. Seperti biasa, gw mao ngebahas taglinenya. Tagline dari TDAT:"...where will you be the day after tomorrow..."Di mana akan berada nanti? Bayangkan kalau besok adalah hari terakhir kita untuk bisa bernafas.... Apa yang akan kita lakukan? Di manakah kita akan end-up keesokan harinya lagi? Apa hari esok masih akan ada?

Friday, March 19, 2004.:: Apa sih yang kita Inginkan? ::.
Kadang gw mikir, bwat apa sih kita beli sesuatu yang mahal banget sampe ngabisin separuh gaji kita? Bwat apa sih kita belajar mati²an? Bwat apa sih diet mati²an? Dan segala macem bwat apa yang lainnya.
Banyak jawaban dari semua itu. Supaya kita dapet mobil sport yang keren, dapet kerja yang memuaskan, supaya jadi lebih cantik, supaya jadi lebih sehat. Sampai alasan² simple seperti supaya dipuji ama orang di sekitar kita.
"...intinya, apa yang kita cari dari semua itu adalah kepuasan..."
Tapi, bisakah kita mencapai kepuasan sejati dari semua hal itu?

.:: Commitment ::.
What is a commitment mean, really? .
Bwat beberapa orang, commitment is a sacred thing, but for another commitment itu cuman suatu kaya yang melambangkan janji dan tidak lebih daripada itu. Atau komitmen itu hanya sebuah kata yang gampang untuk diucapkan tanpa mengandung arti tertentu? For example, ada seorang cowo yang udah punya tunangan bilang, "I'm in a commitment right now." tapi masih aja flirting with girls around him.
....apa sebenarnya komitmen...?posted by on 12:05 AM put
Wednesday, March 17, 2004.:: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ::.
Film baru ini websitenya di sini. Inti cerita film ini, Jim Carrey mencoba menghilangkan memorynya tentang cw yang dia suka. Tapi semakin dia mencoba menghilangkan memorynya, semakin dia sadar akan cintanya pada cwnya itu. . Tagline film Eternal Sunshine keren si..."You can erase someone from your mind, getting them out of your heart is another story"Baca sinopsis film ini entah kenapa gw jadi inget same kata² cliche line ini: "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone...".
Sometimes kita sebagai manusia kurang menghargai apa yang kita punya saat ini dan terus mencari² hal² lain yang bisa memuaskan kita. Apakah kita sudah cukup bersyukur?posted by on 10:40 PM put
Tuesday, March 16, 2004.:: Nyokap ::.
Hari ini gw ngomongin soal nyokap ama temen gw di Melb & Perth. Entah kenapa, di pertengahan pembicaraan gw bisa nangis sendiri . Gw inget kalo nyokap gimana pun juga selalu mementingkan kepentingan anak²nya dulu.
Nyokap pernah ngomong ama temennya gitu.
Temen: "Wah, saya jadi jarang belanja buat sendiri gini nih,..."
Nyokap: "Iya sih, udah ada anak sih yah..."
Nyokap yang udah selama 9 bulan bawa beban berat di perutnya. Yang badannya bisa melar gara² bawa beban itu, sakit² punggung, susah buat tidur, duduk, ngapa²in repot banget. Gw jadi kebayang aja nyokap begitu melahirkan harus repot ngurusin tetek bengek gw yang segala macem. Yang rela kasih sesuatu yang the best bwat anak²nya.... haduh...
Gw selalu ga pengen bikin nyokap sedih, dan sampe hari ini gw masih berusaha memenuhi janji gw itu sih... . Sayangnya kadangkala gw masih aja yang bisa berdebat ama nyokap dan bikin nyokap kecewa dengan sikap gw...
Aduh mum... Inex sayang ama mama...posted by on 1:05 AM put
Saturday, March 13, 2004.:: Love Knows No Borders ::.
Itu tagline dari iklannya HSBC. Kata HSBC, there is no geographical and time borders for love .
Bener gaQ yah? Bukannya susah? Anggep deh Long Distance Relationship (LDR) gitu. Mereka yang berhubungan jarak jauh ini kan punya halangan geography dan time. Gw bukannya bilang LDR itu gaQ mungkin berhasil. Beberapa temen gw bilang kalo LDR tuh tuh bikin mereka bisa bertumbuh secara individually within their space, memberi masing² pasangan freedom. Beberapa yang lain bilang kalo LDR itu susah banget karena orang yang kita sayang ga ada di samping kita saat kita butuhkan. Yah, dan general things/reasons gitu lah.
Help donk wit comment².... Sayah lagi pengen tau banyak soal LDR ini ...posted by on 5:44 PM put
Thursday, March 11, 2004.:: The Fighting Temptations ::.
Hari ini gw nonton film ini barengan temen². There are Cuba Gooding Jr. ama Beyonce Knowles. Music made this movie. I love the song 'He Loves You'. Bwat yang mo denger lagu²nya, bisa pegih ke websitenya."Fighting temptations makes you strong."Itu adalah salah satu line di movie yang diucapin ama Beyonce. Waktu itu Gooding tanya ke dia, "How if there is no other chance?". Then she answered him untuk berpegang pada faithnya."I can call on him for anything
Feels like we always fall short
Of bein worthy... we are not worthy
Cuz I aint good enough
But he still loves me
I aint no superstar but I wanna be for you Lord
The spotlight aint shinin on me
Cuz I aint good enough
But you still love me"

Wednesday, March 10, 2004.:: The Butterfly Effect ::.
2 Minggu lalu gw nonton neh film barengan ama temen² gw. Dan yang bener2 gw dapet dari tuh film waktu itu adalah apapun yang udah di-destiny kan untuk terjadi sama kita ga bisa dihindari lagi.
Kaya Ashton Kucher di film itu. Endingnya yah apapun yang dia ganti di masa lalu (past) menjadi disaster di present timenya, karena dia emang ga meant to be wit her.
Kadang kita mikir "ah... coba gw bisa turn back the time dan merubah apa yang udah gw perbuat supaya gw gaQ nyesel"... tapi yah ..."Change one thing, change everything."GaQ semwa hal bisa terjadi berdasar apa yang kita mau. Things really happen for a reason. My ol' man said that it's better to count the blessings then to count the regrets and worries .posted by on 8:41 PM put
Tuesday, March 09, 2004.:: Titik Hitam di Kertas Putih ::.
Kalau kita membuat sebuah titik hitam dengan spidol hitam di atas selembar kertas putih A4 dan bertanya kepada orang di sekitar kita, "Apakah ini?". Orang² akan cenderung menjawab, "Itu adalah titik hitam".
Begitu juga dalam hidup kita. Titik hitam diibaratkan seperti kesalahan seseorang dan putihnya kertas diibaratkan sebagai kebaikan seseorang. Seringkali kejelekan orang² sekitar akan lebih terlihat di mata kita daripada kebaikan² yang telah mereka perbuat.posted by on 9:22 AM put

Huh Huh Huh... Kemaren gw ada satu kelas yang harus bikin group presentation lagi. Di dalam group harus ada satu cowo dan international studentnya.
Ahirnya I ended up with a handsome tall guy yang namanya Daniel dan satu cw yang jutek namanya Lara. Bukan maksud gw menjutek2an si cw ini.. tapi yah...
Daniel itu tinggi, suaranya deep, kalo dia ngomong nadanya datar sekali. Ga ada naik turunnya, pelan dan super cepet.
Lara itu cw yang dateng ke sekolah dengan baju transparan, rok mini yang kalo dia duduk cowo2 di kelas pada ngintipin ... kasian sih... BUT...
Oh well... Pengen rasanya menjodohkan dua makhluk itu. Mereka menetapkan tanggal presentation tanpa bilang2 dulu. Tentuin topic sendiri dengan asiknya. Diskusi berdua. Well, in the end of days i left them and went back to my chair. Sitting next to my Indo's friend, Tirza... .
Ah well, pokoQnya it was a really bad crazy day.... Thx to Tirza dat i had a great time @ dat day ><"posted by on 12:44 PM put
Wednesday, March 03, 2004.:: 1st Week of SkooooooL... ::.
Gimana yah?? Di mana2 bule... dan mosty gals... heuheueh ke mana kah para pria pergi??
Kelas hari ini, Media Law menarik banget. 1st, because of the teacher and 2nd because of the students.
Guru Media Law gw berasal dari Malaysia dan dia udah tinggal di Perth selama 14 tahun . Di Malaysia dia kerja sebagai newspaper editor. Dia keluar dan pindah ke Perth dengan membawa satu hal in his mind:"You did good thing for your country which can cause bad thing for your family."
Di Perth dia mulai dari awal lagi. Kuliah undergraduate dengan major in Law and Journalism. He climbed from the deep bottom and he succeed. He became a great lecturer.
Anyway, temen sekelas gw tadi salah satunya orang Somalia, Abdurahman. Dia lulusan Sudan university dan pernah bekerja di BBC selama 2 tahun. 2 times he accountered life threatening situation because of civil war over there. He has a lot of stories to tell and lot of them are interesting .
Ada lagi salah satu pemain reality show "The Resort" yang cukup terkenal. Namanya Christy. She's an entertainer. Ada Claire yang udah jadi guru dance dan punya 2 sekolah dance. Ada Jamie yang kadang dia jadi DJ... dan masih banyak lagi ... hihihi aga2 lupa sih .
All of my units have presentation inside it ... guess it'll be a good practice for me... hmm apa gaQ yah??
Kemaren itu di kelas Introduction to Broadcast, dibentuk group bwat presentation. And i got paired up wif a gal named Cynthia. Jadi gara2 ada tugas presentation itu, gw tanya nomer telpon dia dan dia tulis di diary gw... Ternyata dia ga nanya nomer gw tuh... yah.. ya udah.. maybe later on...
Terus abis kelas itu, gw ke bookshop. Di sono ketemu dia, cuman kayanya dia gaQ liat... jadi ya udah, gw ga berencana nyapa anyway. Dan abis dari bookshop, waktu mo ambil tas di tempat penitipan tas, ada dia lagi... she saw me, but she didn't say hello or anything like dat . She just slipped out quitely from the crowd and left me blank with my own thoughts .
Abis itu... gw hanya berharap kalo dia adalah anak yang bener2 pemalu dan pendiem .
O yeah.. i put down 3 doors down - here without you.. kedengeran ga yah?posted by on 9:48 PM put
Tuesday, March 02, 2004.:: Day of Creation (fave article) ::.
IMAGINE WHAT MAY HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON THAT DAY:
He placed one scoop of clay upon another until a form lay lifeless on the ground. All of the Garden's inhabitants paused to witness the event. Hawks hovered. Giraffes stretched. Trees bowed. Butterflies paused on petals and watched.
"You will love Me, nature," God said. "I made you that way. You will obey Me, universe, for you were designed to do so. You will reflect My glory, skies, for that is how you were created. But this one will be like Me. This one will be able to choose."
All were silent as the Creator reached into Himself and removed something yet unseen. A seed. "It's called 'choice.' The seed of choice." Creation stood in silence and gazed upon the lifeless form.
An angel spoke, "But what if he ..." "What if he chooses not to love?" the Creator finished. "Come, I will show you." Unbound by today, God and the angel walked into the realm of tomorrow. "There, see the fruit of the seed of choice, both the sweet and the bitter." The angel gasped at what he saw. Spontaneous love. Voluntary devotion. Chosen tenderness. Never had he seen anything like these. He felt the love of the Adams. He heard the joy of Eve and her daughters. He saw the food and the burdens shared. He absorbed the kindness and marveled at the warmth.
"Heaven has never seen such beauty, my Lord. Truly, this is Your greatest creation."
"Ah, but you've only seen the sweet. Now witness the bitter." A stench enveloped the pair. The angel turned in horror and proclaimed, "What is it?" The Creator spoke only one word: "Selfishness."
The angel stood speechless as they passed through centuries of repugnance. Never had he seen such filth. Rotten hearts. Ruptured promises. Forgotten loyalties. Children of the creation wandering blindly in lonely labyrinths.
"This is the result of choice?" the angel asked. "Yes." "They will forget You?" "Yes." "They will reject You?" "Yes." "They will never come back?" "Some will. Most won't."
"What will it take to make them listen?" The Creator walked on in time, further and further into the future, until He stood by a tree. A tree that would be fashioned into a cradle. Even then He could smell the hay that would surround Him.
With another step into the future, He paused before another tree. It stood alone, a stubborn ruler on a bald hill. The trunk was thick, and the wood was strong. Soon it would be cut. Soon it would be trimmed. Soon it would be mounted on the stony brow of another hill. And soon He would be hung on it.
He felt the wood rub against a back He did not yet wear. "Will You go down there?" the angel asked. "I will." "Is there no other way?" "There is not." "Wouldn't it be easier to not plant the seed? Wouldn't it be easier to not give the choice?" "It would," the Creator spoke slowly. "But to remove the choice is to remove the love."
He looked around the hill and foresaw a scene. Three figures hung on three crosses. Arms spread. Heads fallen forward. They moaned with the wind.
Men clad in soldier's garb sat on the ground near the trio. They played games in the dirt and laughed. Men clad in religion stood off to one side. They smiled. Arrogant, cocky. They had protected God, they thought by killing this false one. Women clad in sorrow huddled at the foot of the hill. Speechless. Faces tear streaked. Eyes downward. One put her arm around another and tried to lead her away. She wouldn't leave. "I will stay," she said softly, "I will stay."
All heaven stood to fight. All nature rose to rescue. All eternity poised to protect. But the Creator gave no command.
"It must be done..." He said, and withdrew. But as He stepped in time, He heard the cry that He would someday scream: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" He wrenched at tomorrow's agony.
The angel spoke again. "I would be less painful..." The Creator interrupted softly. "But it wouldn't be love." They stepped into the Garden again. The Maker looked earnestly at the clay creation. A monsoon of love swelled up within Him. He had died for the creation before He had made him. God's form bent over the sculptured face and breathed. Dust stirred on the lips of the new one. The chest rose, cracking the red mud. The cheeks fleshened. A finger moved. And an eye opened.
But more incredible than the moving of the flesh was the stirring of the spirit. Those who could see the unseen gasped.
Perhaps it was the wind who said it first. Perhaps what the star saw that moment is what has made it blink ever since. Maybe it was left to an angel to whisper it: "It looks like... it appears to so much like... it is him!"
The angel wasn't speaking of the face, the features, or the body. He was looking inside -- at the soul.
"It's eternal!" gasped another. Within the man, God has placed a divine seed. A seed of His self. The God of might had created earth's mightiest. The Creator had created, not a creature, but another creator. And the One who had chosen to love had created one who could love in return.
Now it's our choice.
