Early morning, Jonathan already woke up ...
Of course, he has the agenda ---

Visit to DAD's house

Mom goes to Semarang today to visit my grandma or in other word - mom visiting her mom ...

I bring both kids to my dad's house ...

It's raining almost everyday and every night now a days ...
Going from the house at 11.00 am,
Get there almost at 14.00 ...
hehheehe ... takes soo long ...
it's raining , road is slippery ...
and plus traffic ...

Get there,
we eat together at a Manadonese Restaurant in BIntaro area ...
Food is good ...
and it's pretty cheap too ...
I love Menadonese food ...
Also enjoy 1/3 glass of "es kacang merah" - "Red-bean ice" ??

going back - talk with my dad ...
watching the Tsunami tragedy in tv ...

21.00 I decided to go back home ...
Tired, everybody assleep in the car ...

I was also pretty sleepy while driving ...
It's hard to keep myself awake while driving in the highway ...
But good thing , my "Heaven of Love - ADA Band" and "the Best of ADa Band" with Donnie's sexy, cool and sweet voice keep me company ... I turn it outloud and sing along with him ... At least, it keeps me awake and exciting ...

Got home at 23.00 WIB ... Tired ....

At home, watched again some of the tsunami reports ... Terrible ....

The Tsunami Disasters

Watching for three days now, how the tsunami affect everybody in Aceh ... how the tsunami just suddenly came and swept away everything ....

Oh, My GOD ...
Of course, I don't know what Your Plan is ...
But I know ...
there is something great You already See and Plan
after all this disaster ....

Can't help to feel very depressed looking and watching all this ... can you imagine ... What God gives , He can also take it away within seconds and minutes ...

Hear the babies screaming,
the mommies crying and praying,
the daddies trying to keep the family together,
trying to find survival ....

Almost 30,000 people dead already ...
not considering how many people missing ...
Dead bodies laying around everywhere ...
The number of deaths still can be doubled ...

My Prayer ...
Please keep me and my whole family safe ...
Please remind me always ....
I want to be faithful to You , God ...
Please keep me and family in Your Safe Hand Forever ...
Please take all my worries away ...
I know You Always Take Care of us -- the whole family ....

CHRISTMAS DAY

Christmas Day - Saturday, Dec 25th ...

Wake up early ... we plan to go to pk Rudjito's house , our ex-presdir in the company ... my mom said we wanted to visit him and his family ...

Raining the whole night ... still raining now ...

Back from his house, we decided to stop by at Plaza Senayan to buy some presents for my brother and his girlfriend's ....

CHRISTMAS EVE

Tidak terasa sudah ....
Days go by soo fast that I don't realize it already Dec 24th ... FRIDAY .... and I am still at work ...

Going back from work at 3 o'clock ....
I thought roads already a bit loose ...WRONG ...
it was traffic jam all over the place ....

Almost late arriving at church ...
Good thing, still can get seats at church ...

I just realized that for the past three years, I always spent Christmas at Singapore ... Usually, this time of year, I was following my church Xmas service at Tiberias - Marriot Hotel at orchard Road ...

Soo this year has been very different feeling ...It's not bad at all actually, spending Christmas in Jakarta ...
It just that the aura, atmosphere and the nuansa of the Christmas spirit ... isn't all here ...

Well ... this year has to do some "penghematan" hhmm ... "tightening the belt"?? becoz next year , 2006 my daughter, Natashia, will have to go to Junior High School which usually would cost some money ... so have to spent the money for later on ...

Birthday

December 8th ... hhmm ... someone's 40th birthday ...

Sometimes I wonder if this person still alive now ...
If somehow , there is a chance to meet this person again ..... Will it be good or the opposite ...

Never thought of this day before for such a long period of time ... But the thought just pop into my mind ....

Probably, I just want to say "for what it's worth , everything happened for a reason and according to His Plan."

Thanks God - my mom feels better now

Almost at the same time, I get fish poisonned , my mom also suffered from stomach ache ... She was talking about having some problem in her bottom part of the stomach - very painful ... She never said it but I can see it from her look.... She barely can stand and walk becoz of her pain. Went to the doctor, and take the medicine from the prescriptions, but still not a slight improvement.

To be honest, I get very worried thinking about her pain. Forgive me, but I had soo many thoughts that are bad just came in to my mind ... I felt so helpless, really can't help her.

I asked my mom to call my brother who knows many priest from our church to help praying for her. Goodness, where is he when we need him. His handphone waasn't active for so many times...
Finally, mom can get a hold of him... My brother gave mom, the phone numbers of Pdt. Andreas Melkisedek, the one who is pretty close to him recently. Mom called him soo many times, finally she can get Pdt. Andreas to pray for her through the phone ... My mom said after 2 hours being prayed by the priest, she feels that the pain missing ... Thank God ... she can walk much better now .

Her sisters came up to the house too, give her some chinese pills ... She feels better ...I am somewhat relieved. Well, it's hard for me to keep my mom just laying down in bed resting , she keeps doing this and that ... I actually had to scold her to just keep resting and laying down for a few days until she totally recovers.. gosh !!!

This early morning, my mom said want to go the Priest's house - 6 o'clock Pdt Andreas holds a church service at his house. Actually with me being very tired this one week, plus that Friday night, I just get to sleep at 2 o'clock, so I need to rest and catch up on my sleep, but oh, well, I woke up at 4.30, and both of us, go to Pluit to the priest's house.... Of course, we had to leave from here, Bekasi at 5 o'clock. This matter much more serious than my sleep ...

Got lost around that area, becoz I've never driven in that area before. Asking some people, finally around 6.30 am, we find the house. My mom go in and follow the service. I come out from the service, and decide to sleep for a little bit in the car while waiting for my mom. I think I can get about 45 minutes sleep in the car, that's not bad at all. At least, I can drive back to the house with better conditions.

Before going back to the house, stop by at Diamon's Supermarket to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, and fish. Becoz for this one whole month, I try not to eat any meat besides fish. And eat more of fruits and veggies. I ask my mom to sit in the food court while waiting for me.

Get home around noon ...
Part of my stress go away, my mom recovers from her stomach pain .... Trully Thanks to God ...

##When other fails to help us, always turn to HIM becoz HE NEVER LET US DOWN AND WILL NEVER FAIL TO HELP US.##

Diarrhea - The Night before Back To Work

Don't know whether I ate something too hot n spicy or what , but the diarrhea yesterday really kills me . Now, better ... Thankfully ...I got awake yesterday night until 4 am going back and forth to the toilet ... Plus I also got the high fever ...

I am suspecting I got the infections from the Very Hot and Spicy Fish yesterday night ... becoz my stomach turning up and down, my body got fever ...

And at tops, it has to happen right before the day to go to work. Obviously, I kind of sleepy today, but till now, have to do some works too ...

One of this day, I want to be my own boss ...
I don't know whether it will be more comfortable or not, but from my point of view, if I work for my own, then if I work diligently and work very hard, soo the result must be good, too, right ...

Just a thought ... still long time to go to this position ...

Days Off n Learn to Improve My Blog

These days off - really enjoyable, may seems boring to some of you, but for me , it's a true relaxing and resting ... Catch up on all kinds of things at home, include lazying around the house, hehehe. After a week drinking lots of soft drinks lately, I decided yesterday to stop buying them for temporarily, I am afraid of too much sugar. (A dear friend / colleague of mine had his heart almost stopped just recently becoz of too much sugar and cholesterol. Now he is still in recovery - now, just to be on the safe side, since I am already 30 somethinghave to be careful on my intakes)

Almost every day, we went out from one mall to another mall ... Since there are lots of new resto in Jakarta, we also tried some of them.
At the house, I was watching movies from Korea, Mandarin and all the new hollywood movies.

My one and only younger brother went to Jerusalem again - this time he brings more than 100 people in the group. This group is from our church - Tiberias , lead by Pdt. Andreas Melkisedek.
This is already how many times in this year, my brother go to Jerusalem ... Good for him.

Well, I am still learning how to make my blog more interesting , becoz some of the layout and some other things not according to my taste yet. Still needs lots of improvement.

Liburan Lebaran / Ied Fitri Vacation

Siggghhs ...... Soo relieved, after all the hard and busy works, finally I get to enjoy 10 days off ... woooaaaa ...
You don't know how it makes me feel ...

I was planning to go to Anyer beach at the Sol Elite Marbella (a friend from work offered to find a cheaper rate not from the hotel but from some people who owns privately). But since there was in a short moment notice, no space available already . I wasn't dissappointed becoz I can do lots of thing at home anyway or just walking around from one mall to another ...

And voila, this is a result of this vacation ... My blogspot ..hehehee ...
