You are my everything



This morning, a friend shared a beautiful song and its lyric in a facebook. It's old song actually, sung by Darlene Zschech.
The lyric is as following:

You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean more than this world to me
I wouldnt trade you for silver or gold
I wouldnt trade you for riches untold.
You are , you are my everything

I wouldnt take one step without you
I could never go on.
I couldnt breathe on breath without you.
I dont have the strength
To make it on my own

Chorus

Until the world stops turning
Until the stars fade, from the sky
Until the sun stops striving
I need you in my life and heres the reason why!


When I read the fourth & fifth lyric, tears was down. In my life, I often faced a situation where I had to make decision to choose between God or life partner.
I can't be not to obey to God's word because I Love Jesus. I can't compromised with this world. Yeah, this is my cross, with strength from GOD I can reach the finish line. I know He has something more for me. He will give me the BEST ONE!!!ID

John 3:16.."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I went to BROMO mt. and ride a horse.
I joined a cellgroup.
I took singer audition but failed. but it's okay. And I joined Christmas Choir and performed on 24 Dec. I was happy.
I went traveling with church friends :).
I joined a retreat.
I got chronic back pain. God taught me to have a careful heart, and have warmer heart. Now, I can wear my highheels again :).
I learnt a lot of things.

For sure, I am smiling at my future because i have Jesus who always guide me.

Be Happy, Healthy and Fruitful! Happy Newyear !!!

Hope

No doubt, no worries
Because I know You
Just trust You, In You I have a hope
You had healed me, You had fulfilled my dream
I saw miracle happened to other believers and to me too.
You had taught me a faith.
I know there is a plan from You of all these circumstances.
All these is in Your control.
You are teaching me, strengthening me, and shaping me…
Give thank always to You oh Lord
I am going to get well soon!ID

Jeremiah 29:11-12 (New International Version)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

My Story with Frog

It's been almost 2 months I got lower back pain after came back from long hours journey in car from Penang to Singapore.
It's frustrated, depressed, and make me sad. for at moment, I can't run and play badminton.
Everyday I have to do stretching. I have seen doctors.

Today, I went swimming. they said swimming can cure back pain. so, what style is good for curing. My landlord who ever experience back pain said the frog style.
Hahaha..I don't know to do this style. maybe I have to learn the frog style.

Frog, remind me to my biology class in high school. That time, teacher asked all group to bring a green frog to the laboratory.
I was the leader of one of group. and all the members are girls. So with my group, we went to farm to look for a green frog. luckily, heavy rain just happened last night.
Finally, I saw a frog. I didn't think too much. I just caught the frog with my right hand and scream!! I was scared actually. especially this type of frog. this is not real green frog. this frog is the most ugly one with some pimples on its body. I run and run and scream but still held the frog tightly. All people who lived there could hear me. All my friends run to me too and bring plastic bag to me. We were happy to have a frog. I was happy but with pale face.

Till we brought the frog to school and we cut it. My teacher cut the frog leg, then i follow cut the other side of the frog leg. I felt well after the experiment. id

One of Wishes Completed

How happy I am!
Yeah who is not happy if they can reach their wish. or dream come true.
It's been long time, I knew my parents wanted to visit their relative in china especially my father. Yeah our grand (grand grand) father came from China especially in Meizhou county where all the people in the province speaks hakka.

I did researched about how to go to Meizhou. Thanks to Hakka United group in Facebook, from this group i collected information to visit Meizhou. Of course, we wanted to know Hakka Culture deeply by visiting this area.

I knew My parents had a hope to visit this place someday.

In 2010, when i was a jobless. I ever told my parents, that we will visit Meizhou someday. they just smiled.
Then, I got Job in Seoul again. I was thinking that it's gonna be difficult to bring them to meizhou.
After i got my current Job, here in Singapore. I told to my parents again that we will go to Meizhou, but they were not ready yet.

Anyway, after few months, when i was free and still had remaining leaves. I pushed my parents especially my father that we will go to Meizhou. They said that they had no money. I told them that I paid the flight tickets. Then, finally I told them, I will pay everything. I will bear everything (Hotel, Transportation, meals, etc).

Then, who know I got bonus semester. Although the amount was not so big, but it might help me to support our trip.

Then 9 Oct in the morning, we flied to Guangzhou by budget airlines. we didn't use any travel agent or tour guide. we just traveled free & easy since my father can read and speak chinese well. From guangzhou, we took bus to Meizhou. Our trip had no detail plan for everyday activities. Even my father had no phone number and detail address to visit his brother (cousin).

For three nights we stayed in Meizhou in hotel, We chartered taxi to bring us sightseeing in Meizhou and to see hakka tulou in dapu and yongding, because we couldn't find local tour. So we knew the traditional house of our ancestor.



During three days, my father oftenly asked people he met about
"zhong buk ban", the place where my grand father from, and where many zhong families lives there. Nobody know. Even I tried to check internet but useless.

Then we moved to my mom's relatives place. we had their phone number and address, but we never met them. We stayed 2 nights overthere. eventhough we couldn't sleep well but we were happy to meet them. They are too many, cannot remember all.

One of sister, siau ching ( i called her sister), brought us to see around the city. In the bus, again my father asked somebody. But they didn't know the place. Then we had lunch together again with my mom's brothers. Finally my father could remember another information of the place, "sam gak gi" which now is called sam gak zen. The sister asked somebody (driver) who know the place to bring us. And we had to say goodbye to them. Gonna miss them. My mom's brother informed to their uncle in Guangzhou. Then they asked us to visit him in Guangzhou.

In our journey to sam gak zen, the driver oftenly asked somebody who know the place we looked for. He asked to some people. Finally, we saw small town and we stopped beside a man who were standing at the street. This guy know the place. we showed him photo of the people that we were looking for. He suddenly said that the man is his grandfather. wow! We were happy especially my father, tears came out from his eyes.

Finally all big family from my father side met, they are from xinning and shenzhen too. wow, it was very big family. We stayed for 1 night. then we had to move to Guangzhou.



At Guangzhou, my sukkung and his family treated us very well too. Wow, blessing came down on us. We never expected that we received many blessing from all families in china.
And you know, i counted the amount of money we spent, include transportation in sinagpore & Indonesia and visa and all in china include airline ticket. All just nice, about same amount to my bonus. wow, thanks God for everything.


note: there were a lot of lessons and funny things during our trip.
- We had to speak Bahasa Indonesia (not hakka anymore) when we talked something secret. But we oftenly forgot. hope they couldn't understand due to our hakka dialect.
- We enjoyed all the food. And accidentally, i ate dog meat again. waaaa....
- My parents spoke hakka mixed with bahasa, not because they didn't know the word but because it's habit in Indonesia...hahahaha...sometime I reminded them...
- I learnt hakka chinese culture especially tea.
- My parents got a lot of angpao. blesssing...before we thought that we would spend a lot of money to give our relatives angpao.

I am gonna miss this trip moment.

A review after a year

Dear Reader,

I have been completed living in Singapore for a year. I like this city or country. I have learned many things within a year. I think it's because of the language. This city is also save. and of courese, I am more close to my family who was living in Indonesia. Through any kind relationship, I've learned a lot. Thanks to God who has allowed me to live in Singapore. I'd like to settle in Singapore, and until i get marry, maybe i have to follow my future husband.

Eventhough it's quite boring to spend weekend in this small country, but i still like Singapore because knowledge and information is easy to get.
But still I don't like to stay in apartment. I meant i don't expect to retire in small apartment because I like garden.


The company where i work currently sent me to Europe last October. It was my first time to cross from Asia. It's Italy. I've never thought that i will be sent to Europe. Eventhough It's short trip but i was happy. I could visit Bergamo, Milan and Venice!.
And now I am going to Meizhou where my anccestor came from. I will go with my parents. Thanks to God who give me chance to bring my parents to visit our ancestor place. ID

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Eph 3:20
