hidup baru prinsip baru
Written at Senin, 03 Maret 2014 | back to top

its fun to write a secret diary actually
its been a long time since a big turbulence happened in my life. a problem that brought me closer to God. A problem that hurts me so bad but im happy that happened. it brings me closer to God and changed my character. Life is never flat :)

setelah berpikir2.....hidupku punya 2 prinsip
1. beriman pada Tuhan sampai mati walau tidak mendapatkan yg dijanjikan/diinginkan
denger kotbah ini dr stephen tong waktu mama denger d tv n kalimat ini menusuk bgttt, tp bener juga, aku siapa cm manusia biasa kok mau ngatur2 Tuhan buat ngasih apa yg ak pengen. teladani dr Musa yg udh mati sblm liat tanah Kanaan yg dijanjikan.
2. bertahan dlm pencobaan karena pencobaan menghasilkan ketekunan
kl ini ak baca dr yakobus sktr pasal 1 keatas...pas baca ini bener2 ngena d hati. kita diuji utk memurnikan iman kita. lagian ngapain takut dlm pencobaan kl kita deket sm Tuhan.
3. Face your giant
ini dpt dr renungan yg dikasih sodaraku, teladani dr Daud melawan Goliat. Daud bilang, Goliat datang bawa pedang dll tp Daud datang dgn kekuatan Allah. menang deh....jd...hadapi hal2 yg buat kita susah n menakutkan dengan mengandalkan kekuatan Allah.

thats all so far...................
hopes and dreams
Written at Selasa, 18 Februari 2014 | back to top

so...yeah, being single means i can focus to many other things besides finishing uni and get married, haha. well first, i listened to this awesome classic piano piece called Liebestraum No.3 by Franz Lizst, and right at that moment i was extremely inspired. i regret a little when i stopped practicing piano n get bored with it as a kid. if i were a more diligent kid, i wouldve been so much better than this -__- but anyway that doesnt stop me from (at least) trying. so far ive managed to learn 4 pages out of 7, its hard but sounds nice soo imma master it as fast as i can hehehe

and my another dream is.....well its a little bit high actually.......taking a master degree in...Germany :) yeah, meaning i have to at least learn the language which is called.. Deutsch (i cant even pronounce it back then!!). and its alot harder than english...it has feminine, masculine and neutral word for everything. i mean, why the hell would you know if a table is a male or female?? or the sun?? the moon?? everything! but i wont give up XD, ive learned some grammar and words here and there but its hard to kinda self-teach myself with the help of the internet. im considering to hire a tutor but....this idea only came up to me like a week ago, soo....maybe i'll self-tech myself for a couple months or so..to see if im really mean it, or is it just a temporary ambition. i havent told anyone about it except my mom and dad. and why german? well deutsch language is also spoken in austria, luxembourg and switzerland so if i change plans or whatever i can still have another options. im gonna be 20,5 yrs old when i graduate from swinburne...so i guess i'll still have a year or two to explore the wooorrrlldddd before having to work.

being single has its consequences...yeah that uncertain fate you have to face..at the end of the day, after youre done enjoying your free life, people will expect you to marry. but i dont know and dont really think about that now..love hurts but it is used to shape us rite....i mean we're still young and immature...needs a lesson to change us. i do believe in love, but i dont really think about it as much as i used to...to be honest, if i dont find a guy that i can really love again....i dont want to get into an arranged marriage like they have in india, pakistan, etc lol, im ready not to marry actually. I WANT but if i dont find a match id rather be single forever than having to marry someone i dont have a feeling with. AND i really wish my life was short, seriouslyyy i dont want to get old :( why cant i just die young and go to heaven and live happily ever afteeerrr without worrying about anything.....money..love..sickness...etc T_T its not that im suicidal though, i will NEVER EVER kill myself -- but i just want to die young...sometimes i imagined myself having an accident and die instantly...that painless and fast death....dats wat i want (i really sounds creepy rite now --)
i read about people visiting heaven with Jesus and i just want to leave this earth asap :( from now on ive always been trying to do the right thing in front of God's eyes, just in case Jesus would grant my wish hehehe.
but seriously......the older we get, the more problems we will get too..thats a bit stressing, sooo u see...its really that complicated to live on this earth --
now what we all need to do is strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ every single daaaaayyy.............just in case, u know....just in case ;) hehehehehe

by the way, happy valentine 2014....eventhough now i call it as 'single awareness day'(you know why)it was just an ordinary day for me except that i spent some time staring at the mirror telling how much i love myself lol jk.
Visa Australia
Written at Rabu, 08 Januari 2014 | back to top

Lagi mood nulis nih....
Pengen berbagi mujizat2 Tuhan yg terjadi di hidupku....pertama ttg visa australia^^

aku ambil intake juni 2013 buat masuk Swinburne Uni, itu mepet banget sama keluarnya Ijazah yg dibutuhin buat dikirim ke Uni yg bakal ngasih surat konfirmasi namanya CoE yg dibutuhin buat visa. Jadi buat dapet visa butuh Coe...yg butuh ijazah juga. Nah masalahnya stlh ak ngasihin ijazah, Swinburne juga lama ngasih konfirmasinya...sekitar 2 mingguan gt padahal waktu makin mepet buat bikin visa. aku inget aku submit visa application tgl 17 juni. and fyi, visa student tuh waktu prosesnya lebih lama dr visa tourist biasa...apalagi dr third world country like indo. aku liat d website immigration ausi pun ngmg kalo visa student 14-brp hari gt waktunya, alias minimal 14 hari. aku tanya2 temen2 ku yg sebelum2nya apply visa, satu pun dari mereka gak ada yang visa nya di approve dlm jangka waktu 2 minggu, selalu lebih. Aku posisi enrolment tgl 24 jun dan late enrolment paling lambat tgl 28 jun, artinya kalo tgl 28 belom dateng kesana, aku gak bisa ikut intake juni itu dan semua tuition fee dll hangus...bayangin aku udah bayar 8000$ an buat sampe ke posisi itu. Ak udh cari cara sekuat tenaga buat mempercepat pembuatan visaku, agen ku dan mantan ku yg udah di Melb pun ikut bantu. akhirnya tgl 24(senin) aku dgn perasaan putus asa ngirim email ke kedutaan Australi yg langsung dibales sama automated email...hopeless kan? tapi besoknya, ada email lg dari kedutaan yang ngmg kalo my case has been passed to my case officer, well that gives a little hope. Aku juga tentunya dr awal berdoa terus sama Tuhan, mohon mujizatNya...sampe aku hampir putus asa. Tapi Tuhan selalu ngasih hal2 yang tak terduga buat anak2Nya yang terus bergantung padaNya. Kamis pagi tgl 27 jun, jam 8 pagi aku buka website nya n you know what? my visa has been approved. padahal di website biasanya ada progress2nya gitu kyk document received, payment received, medical result processed dll dan waktu itu aku baru sampai di tahap medical report received, not yet finalised, yang artinya aku gak bisa ke tahap selanjutnya sblm medicalnya di finalised. Dan seharusnya abis proses medical finalised masih ada proses2 selanjutnya sblm akhirnya "application approved". terakhir ngecek itu Rabu malam dan proses masih medical received. tapi besok paginya aku cek....cuma ada 1 keterangan di kolom progress : Application Approved. Tuhan luar biasa. Dia mengabulkan doaku di detik2 terakhir. Abis itu aku langsung packing2 selama 3 jam. dan ajaibnya lagi, aku telp agent dan ternyata masih ada tiket pesawat buat ke Melb hari itu, jam 4 sore. yg ajaib lagi, ada sopir yg available buat nganter aku ke airport jogja.

Aku brkt sekitar jam 12 ato 1 an gitu, bener2 mepet buat jarak banjarnegara-jogja yang biasanya 4 jam. waktu perjalanan pun ad halangan lagi, jalannya macet...bener2 macet gak jalan sm sekali....tapi ada mujizat...di kanan mobil ku persis ada gang kecil, gatau gang itu ngarah kemana, aku nekat belok kesitu...tp ternyata itu Tuhan yang tunjukin...gang itu tembus ke jalan yg seharusnya aku lewatin. Akhirnya dengan anugrah Tuhan aku bisa sampai di bandara tepat waktu dan terbang ke Melb dengan selamat.

"Karena masa depanmu sungguh ada, dan harapanmu tidak akan hilang" (Amsal 23:18)
The Lesson Behind a Broken Heart
Written at | back to top

Sebelumnya....ak ga tau siapa yg bakal baca blog ini..bukan tujuan caper atau apapun, cuma pengen curhat dan berbagi, dan mengisi kebosanan ^^

Tanggal 8 Des 2013 ak putus sm my boyfriend of 2 years. Sakit banget sih rasanya, hari2 pertama berat banget rasanya. Waktu itu posisi ak kuliah dan tinggal di apartemen sendiri di australia. Pertama rencananya liburan Natal n Tahun baru (2 minggu) ga akan pulang, pengennya sih ngabisin waktu bareng pacar dan temen2, tp nasib berkata lain. Takut stress sendirian di ausi gara2 broken heart, akhirnya ak memutuskan pulang.
Flashback dikit.....putus ku tuh gara2 ak sering buat masalah..emosi ku masih labil n jujur itu pacaran pertama ku yg bener2 serius. Tp mmg awalnya dalam pacaran itu aku dan pacarku sangat2 dekat rasanya kyk kita udah pasti nikah di masa depan, kita juga udah ngelakuin banyak hal bersama...terlalu banyak dan explicit buat diceritakan disini. Dulu rasa2nya kyk Tuhan pun sudah ga bisa memisahkan kita, jadi walau kita ngelakuin hal2 yang salah pun ttp dilanjutin terus asal ttp bersama.

Pas pertama2 memang rasanya gak rela, tapi setelah pemikiran panjang...aku sangaaat bersyukur waktu itu putus. Rupanya itu cara Tuhan manggil aku buat kembali kepadaNya, lepas dari dosa2, saatnya belajar lebih mencintai Tuhan diatas segalanya. Dulu sblm pacaran mmg ak biasa baca Alkitab tiap malem...tapi, baca nya didasari rasa kewajiban, bukan keinginan. Jadi walau baca pun asal2an, ga masuk hati. Sebelumnya aku berdoa "Tuhan, tolong supaya aku dan dia bisa balikan.", tapi sekarang aku berdoa "Tuhan tolong dewasakan aku dulu, jika menurutMu aku sudah cukup dewasa,  jika Engkau berkenan, tolong persatukan kami lagi, jika tidak, tolong berikan yang menurutMu terbaik buatku, biar kehendakMu sajalah yang terjadi."
Sejak putus, aku lebih deket sama Tuhan, rasanya "ingin" baca firman, berdoa dan mendekatkan diri sama Tuhan. Aku baru sadar kalo Tuhan masih sayang aku.
"Barangsiapa Kukasihi, ia Kutegor dan Kuhajar; sebab itu relakanlah hatimu dan bertobatlah!" Wahyu 3:19

Mamaku suruh aku baca buku "the purpose driven life" by Rick Warren, itu bagus banget n sangat menolong buat orang2 yang lagi down yg lg ingin dekat sama Tuhan.
Aku bukan sok suci, tp memang aku seneng sama aku yang sekarang punya keinginan untuk dekat sama Tuhan. Gak gampang sih, aku juga blm sepenuhnya pulih...masih sering sedih bahkan nangis kalo keinget, tapi bedanya sekarang aku lebih dekat sama Tuhan, belajar percaya dan hal2 apa yang bisa menyenangkan hatiNya. Istilahnya sekarang Tuhan lagi memupuk rasa cintaku ke Dia, memupuk imanku juga supaya nanti kalau aku sudah siap pacaran lagi, aku gak jatuh di lubang yang sama dan bakal tetap menomorsatukan Tuhan diatas segalanya.

"Janganlah kamu menjadi serupa dengan dunia ini, tetapi berubahlah oleh pembaharuan budimu, sehingga kamu dapat membedakan manakah kehendak Allah; apa yang baik yang berkenan kepada Allah, dan yang sempurna (Roma 12:2)



the sweetest valentine's day in my life
Written at Rabu, 15 Februari 2012 | back to top

so yesterday was one of the most memorable day in my life. 14th of february 2012. it all started when my bf didnt remember to prepare a chocolate or anything for me for the valday. well u know...on valdays we exchange chocolates, etc. white day is not very common in indonesia, sooo...my bf thought that on valday im gonna give something to him then he'll return the favor on white day. but, this aint what we do in here...the way indo ppl celebrate valday is...well i think since we dont really celebrate white day, both the boy and girl should have something to give to each other. and my bf didnt prepare anything for me on date 13. he frankly forgot...he thought that he'll give me something on the white day which he thought would be 4 days after valday (in fact white day is 1 MONTH after valday). well...obviously...i was dissapointed. ive already bought him a belgian choc that day but he said he was too busy with the school that he didnt have a chance to think about the valday.

on date 14, at school i was in a badmood. and either he is. he was just kept silent and didnt chat me on bbm like we always do. honestly i cried a bit during the class. just felt sooo blue that i couldnt be happy to celebrate the valday like the others. i thought my bf was soo careless and cruel that he kinda abandoned me on that day. but i just tried to hold my tears and emotion down till the school's over.

i went straight home and my bf told me on bbm that he was goin to take a nap cz he was very tired. it was 2 pm when he told me that. on 3 pm i already got under my blanket and tried to sleep. but i could only slept for 40 mins. i tried to continue my sleep but my mind is just too full of bad thoughts that i then decided to wake up and just turned my laptop on. my mind was still complicated, i just couldnt get him away from my mind. i did cry and felt worse than ever. i tried to cheer myself up by browsing, and went for a short drive to a gas station and the atm. i hoped that when i got back, my bf would alrdy wake up from his nap. but i was wrong. there were still no sign from him.

it was 6.15 pm and i couldnt wait any longer. i was in the top of my emotion and it was like the worst mood ive ever had. i chat him and asked if he was awake and surprisingly he was! he was just instantly replied my chat and said that he was about to get to my place. i was angry and asked him why didnt he chat me earlier?what time did he wake up?why did he make me wait that long knowing that i was in a badmood? i just kept asking. i even asked for a breakup --" which then i regret. he just kept telling me to be patient and 10 mins later he was alrdy in my place. i got out of the house, still with the gloomy face and complicated feelings. and when i saw him.........................................he was there, with a bouquet of red roses smiling and then handed me a box of his self-made chocolate. i was absolutely embarassed and speechless. it feels like im over the rainbow. soooo happy that i could only hugged him and kept saying randomly. ughhhh he totally got me :l but i've never had any feeling that he would give me a surprise in that way. couldnt believe either that when he said he was sleeping, he was actually buying chocolates and try making a custom made chocolate. and after that went to the florist to get the red roses bouquet. he is just the sweetest guy ive ever met. im soooo lucky to have him. i promised myself that i'll never let him go. and the word "breakup" wont cross my mind for the second time. i already have a strong feeling that he's gonna be my future husband :P but overall its God's plan thats gonna happen in every way.

just saying that im sooo thankful for this valday. especially to God...and to my hunny <3 which always understands me in every way and never tired of showing his love...he's just the one that i'll never let go!! ever<3

thats the bouquet and the doll he gave me in my 16th bday last year.

happy valentine's day all!!

day8
went to cambridge on sunday. visited the famous king's college and other colleges. cambridge's city centre is much smaller than oxfords. which is boring. i think cambridge is only good for its colleges. i did find an old bookshop, it sells old books and looked interesting to me. but its closed on sunday --"

we were actually going to visit the ashmolean museum, but i was closed due to some sort of university activities going on inside the museum. so we went to bicester village. its a small town, but it has shopping outlets full of branded stuffs.


day10
had a netbook session to do our presentation project. then we went to london for the 2nd time! just to see bigben and london eye. no shopping at all coz we had no time. just took some pictures and enjoy the view. we did passed the westminster abbey on the way to the bus station but didnt get the chance to get in.


day11
we had bowling after finished our class. it was sooo fun! i've never thought bowling would actually be this fun. coz i've never tried in for real before, just played it with Wii machine which is boring. after the bowling we had an ice cream at G & D's but its the one in cowley road. i ordered for waffle and 1 scoop of baileys ice cream. yumm!

day12
we went to the ef int'l academy and held our class in there. free time after class. i spent it to shop in city centre and went to cinema to watch "limitless". and in the evening, we had iceskating....so fun!! i havent been on the ice rink for like 4 or 3 years. soooo excited~

day13
this is the last day to have a class. we had EFCELT test and graduation on that day. the graduation was simply just presentating our projects and achieved our certificates. back from school we went to climb the carfax tower. and just spent our last chance shopping around city centre. in the afternoon we had a farewell party with our guide, johnny in pizza express. and thats all! gotta do some packing for tomorrow's departure.
