[coz it has been so hard these days...]

8 Praise our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.

10 For you, O God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.

11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.

12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.

君へと夢は今

遠い地平線へ向かい優しい腕から
ずっと駆けて来たんっだね
最初は小さい歩幅で

一つ一つ歩を進め
振り向けば長い足跡
歪んでても真っ直ぐ
You have come a long way
Everything is for today

君へと夢は今 目の前で煌めいてる
花弁の舞降るような雪が祝福した

花々しい季節 横目に過ぎ去り
ため息白くついて
迷ったりもしたけど

しんと張りつめた風景
鼓動は高鳴りを覚え
あふれる想いはこの瞬間を迎える
Everything is for today

空へと鐘の音が　時を告げ鳴り響くよ
翼ひろげ飛び立ってゆく君に祝福あれ

想いを乗せ君は今　大地を蹴る
心ひとつ喜びも悲しみも全部詰め込んで

君へと夢は今 目の前で煌めいてる
花弁の舞降るような雪が祝福した

Ceritanya gw lagi dikirim buat kerja di client. Dan salah satu temen kerja gw (yg dari company gw) lagi dikenalin sama salah satu org client yg kebetulan satu nationality sama temen gw ini. Trus dia cerita, this is what happened…
Org itu: So how long are you going to be working here for?
Temen gw: Well, I don’t know yet.
Org itu: Ooo.. What project are you working on now?
Temen gw: ###### Project
Org itu: Ooo… You are going to be here for a while then.
Temen gw: (dalam hati: oh no!!!)

//ngakak XD wakakakakakaakkakkssss… XD
//emang dah jadi rahasia umum kita ga ada yg pengin lama2 di client. kita selalu bully each other siapa yg bakal stay paling lama di sana XD aahahahhahahaahha..

//insider’s joke…

Conversation 1
Gw: What time are you going home?
Em: When Jo is leaving home.
Gw: Oh, he’s coming here to pick you up?
Em: No, he’s going to his friend’s house.
Ph: They are still not talking to each other.. [Ceritanya Em dan Jo (cowoqnya) lagi berantem.]
Em: You know what will make him piss off? If I take a young and handsome boy home with me.. (dengan nada bercanda, trus sambil ngasih tanda ke Ea)
Gw: In that case Ea is not qualified then (kaburrrrrrrrr…)
Ea: Heeeeeeyy you~~~ (siap menerkam) [pembicaraan ttg usia itu rada sensitif di antara circle kita, terutama utk Ea, walaupun dia cuman 4 bulan lbh tua dr gw]
Ph & Em: wakakakakkakakkssss… XD

Conversation 2
Gw ga inget awalnya gmn, tiba2 kita dah ngebicarain ttg umur.
Em: I’m still young. I’m only 17 (sok ngaku2 sambil ngedipin mata)
Ea: You can’t be 17. That will make Jo a criminal!
Gw & Ph: wakakakakkakakakakkakakkssssss XD (ngakak sehabis2nya)
[soalnya Jo udah 30an lbh, mereka dah lbh dr 5 taon pacaran, trus di NZ ada law yg mengkriminalkan siapapun yg have a relationship with a minor (under age people).]

Semalem d mimpi gw, dsebutin Filipi 4:21 (ato Filipi 4:23 yah?) Truss gw berusaha bangun just to find out isi ayatnya, tapi ga bisa, jdnya jam 9an baru bangun. Trus gw cek, nothing extremely significant sih Gw kira tadinya mungkin malah Filipi chapter 4 ga ada ayat segitu.. Ternyata ada toh.. Dan emang udah bagian yg akhir jg emang..

Anyway… Hari ini nonton Avatar 3D di St. Lukes. Kemaren malem pas mo ngebook di internet, I was quite annoyed with the booking system. Soalnya yg bagian kiri kan dan ada org lain yg booking. Truss gw mo ngebook 8 seat, dari 9 seat yg free di sebelah kanan. Tapi systemnya ga ngebolehin gw book 8 seats nempel sama yg dah dibooking org lain (dgn menyisakan 1 seat dkt aisle), tapi jg ga ngebolehin gw book 8 seath nempel aisle (dgn nyisain 1 seat antara kita dan bookingan org lain. Aaaaa.. super duper annoyed. Akhirnya terpaksa ngebooking 2 row (4 dpn, 4 blkg).

Filmnya quite good. Tapi gw capek pake kacamata 3D. Berat di hidung gw, soalnya make 2 kacamata. Jadinya pas lagi adegan ga penting, gw lepas kacamata dan dengerin suaranya aja, biar mata dan hidung gw bisa istirahat. Lama jg man, hampir 3 jam. Keren sih dunia Pandoranya. Taneman2 aneh, binatang2 aneh, udah gitu kalo mo ngendarain kuda/dragon harus nyambung pake rambut. Hahahah.. lucu.. Trus taneman2 glow in the dark sama rumput2 yg kalo diinjek bisa nyala. Good idea smua

Anyway, koq gw jadi ngantuk yah skrg.. Me bobo sore dulu..

Hari ini sunday service seperti biasa, dengan sedikit dekorasi natal – ditempelin di papan tulis sama Kak Osye sm Kak Yohanes. Trus anak2 say they thanks giving dan nyanyi Tell it all over the mountain. Hihihihi.. lucu banget anak2.

Abis itu gw cabut ke rumah Qing Qing – dianterin sama Pradeep & Phoebe. The 3rd BBQ party for the week. Man.. I’m gonna gain lots of kg by the end of this holidays… Syereeeeeem… Anyway, abis makan2 ga jelas over 2+ hours, kita maen mafia game. Karena ada 17 org yg maen, jdnya mafianya ada 5, polisinya 4, dokternya 1, sisanya innocent people. Truss rada kacau, karena byk yg new to the game (including me). Ternyata byk tricknya! Should have known from the start. But it’s quite fun sih Maen sampe jam setengah 6, trus beberapa org pulang, dan sisanya yg masih di situ, either main monopoly ato main kartu “fight the landlord” (ga ngerti, maenan kartu ala org cina).

Anyway.. I had the BEST monopoly game EVEEEEEERRRRRRRRR in my life XD karena gw win a BIG time XD padahal it started out biasa aja lhooo.. Si Pradeep awal2nya keliatannya bakal menang, karena dia yg pertama beli rumah banyak. Trus dia salah langkah sih dgn ngebantuin beliin propertynya si Siaw Ming buat bail out dia dr debtnya dgn Ryan. Abis itu dia kehilangan byk cash, trus pas ngeland di property org laen yg harganya 900an. Truss si Ryan salah langkah jg dgn ngejualin railway stationnya ke gw seharga 500, padahal gw dah punya 3. Trus semua org setelah itu keep landing on my railway station XD Anyway, I managed to make everyone bankrupt XD Ahahahahahhahahaha.. *evil laugh* In the end gw punya total cash 7000, 8 hotel, 4 railway station. Wooohoooo~~~

Hari ini boxing day! That means SAAALLLEEEEE!!
Pagi bela2in naek bus ke Briscoes di Morning Side. Nyampe sana.. antrian check outnya panjaaaaanggg… Menghela nafas.. Trus liat2 barang2 yg didiskon.. Akhirnya memutuskan beli blender secara lagi 60% off~ Yaaay~~ Gw bisa bikin smoothie skrg~~~ Udah gitu beli baking tray, silicon muffin tray karena diskon 50%, truss beli Jamie Oliver’s measuring spoon warna ijo~~ Yaaayy~~ (ga penting banget sih tapi designnya bagus dan lagi 30% off)

Siangnya memutuskan jalan2 di city dan window shopping. Diskonnya basa-basi… paling cuman 30% of selected items. Nothing yg bener2 wah. Padahal kalo ada diskon gede, gw pengin beli topi, dompet, dan baju renang baru. Huhuhuhu… Akhirnya cmn beli Joseph Joseph Nest 6 Food Preparation Set karena diskon 25% dan lucu

Trus setelah taking afternoon nap, ke rumah Intan buat ngambil gelas dll yg gw beli, trus dihibahkan byk barang laen.. Trus latian musik di rumah Leo, nyobain lagu baru gw. Trus pulang deh.

Hari ini di kantor dah ga niat kerja XD nyelesein coding buat proses radiology report, tapi blom sempet gw unit test. Trus boss besar telat nongol di kantor (kayaknya ada meeting yg laen sih dia). Jadinya, just when we are about to leave (karena gw ada janji lunch, si M perlu pulang pagian karena kakaknya masuk rumah sakit gara2 amandelnya kambuh, dan si P emang mo ke kantor pusat say hi to yg laen), si boss besar baru dateng, dan kita pun last minute meeting jadinya.. Kerjaan menjulang menanti waktu balik ntar. Ahahahahahaha… I don’t wanna think about it now..

Jadinya balik city deh. Setelah menunggu ga jelas beberapa saat, akhirnya pasukan lengkap jg, dan kita jalan ke Grand Harbour yg di Viaduct buat yum char. Di tengah jalan, pas lewat Sky City ketemu group yg laen. Trus kita ajakin ikutan yum char, tapi mereka nolak. Jadinya kita jalan aja. Eh, buntut2nya ketemu mereka jg, dan mereka mo makan di daerah Viaduct jg, jdnya jalan bareng. Pas sampe di Grand Harbour, kita emang dah booking buat 7 org, truss mereka kan 6 org. Ternyata ga terlalu rame bgt, jdnya bisa ganti table, so there we were, 13 org kelaparan. Ate lots of stuff and the bill turned out quite cheap. Cuman $13.50 per org. Really good value food plus great company

Truss jalan2 ga jelas di Viaduct. Beberapa org cabut, trus sisa kita ber6 yg emang udah rencana mo karaokean di K-Box. Dan mereka lagi ada promosi kalo siang cuman $20 per org sepuasnya (dan bisa mesen makan/minum seharga up to $20 gratis). Fortunately, kita dapet ruangan yg gede yg bisa muat 14 org kira2. Trus seorang lagi colleague kita dateng dan nimbrung. Ternyata pada keen singers semua. Pada kagak pake acara malu2. Yg lucu adegan Ea & Em duet. Sok kayak yg di video clip lagu2 cinta gitu gayanya. Wakakakakkksss… Selese jam 6 trus bubar jalan~

Malemnya memutuskan untuk pergi ke Christmas Eve servicenya St. Andrews bareng Gita. Yay~ singing carols~~ It has been a while. Merry Christmas, everyone~~~~

Hari ini tumben bisa bangun ngepas dan mandi cepet XD ahahahahah.. Jadi bisa ngejer bus jam 7.25am. Tadi org barunya dateng buat diajak liat2 tempat client kita tercinta dan dibriefing. January taon dpn sih baru masuk kerja. Trus td berusaha menemukan Java API yg bisa format HL7 text (kayak \.br\ dan \.in+4\ ) tapi sejaman lbh browsing2 beberapa API ga nemu (ato ga tau musti liat di mana), akhirnya menyerah jg dan nulis method sendiri T_T

Abis itu jam 4.15 cabut, balik ke city, ngambil kacamata renang yg ketinggalan di rumah dan pergi berenang bareng anak2. Yaaay~~ sudah lama~~ Lama ga ketemu mereka, lama ga renang jg. Well, sebenernya tadi bukan renang sih for me, tapi more like bermain air Anyway, tadi pada nyobain nyelem, berenang di dasar kolam, berenang gaya kupu2. Kayaknya gaya kupu2 lumayan lbh gampang nangkepnya buat gw, dibandingin gaya kodok (dari dulu ga pernah bisa…) Anyway, abis itu kita dinner di Hansan.

Anyway, hari ini my brother got baptised!!! And I was reminded again of my favourite chapter in the bible: Luke 15 (parable of the lost sheep, parable of the lost coin, parable of the lost son). And here is Luke 15:3-7

3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4″Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

This is our God who says that this lost soul worth more than 99 other saved souls.
This is our God who will go anywhere and He will never ever give up to look for this lost soul, until He finds him.
This is our God who is not angry, but joyfully takes this lost soul back home.
This is our God who even calls everyone to rejoice with Him because the lost have been found!!

Hari ini bangun supaaa dupaaa telat lagi. Ga nyadar matiin alarm, instead of di-snooze. Bangun2 dah jam 7.30!!! Trus gw mimpi ceritanya gw murid di salah satu sekolah (meskipun murid2 dan guru2nya ga ada yg gw kenal mukanya). Truss gw dendam sama org2. Truss ceritanya kita lagi study tour or something yg pake nginep2an. Trus pas di tempat nginep, gw bunuhin mereka satu2… Ahhahahahaha XD

Anyway hari ini ada kabar yg shocking di kantor!! Client pengin ngekeep kita dan nanyain apakah kita bersedia pindah aliran (ngerjain project .NET). Waaaaaakss!!!

Anyway, malemnya ada Xmas dinner di life group. Trus seblom pulang kita mampir ngeliat Christmas lights di Franklin Road. Karena dah terlalu malem, I’ll skip the details. Will update this some other time. Time to go to sleep now..
