- "I TRUST in YOU" -

Saat ku tak melihat jalanMu
Saat ku tak mengerti rencanaMu
Namun tetap kupegang janjiMu
Pengharapanku hanya padaMu

Hatiku percaya..
Hatiku percaya..
Hatiku percaya..
S'lalu kupercaya..

Yes it's true, Lord..
When everything seems like going wrong
When I can't even understand Your plans
I keep only one thing in my heart: I TRUST IN YOU :)
for Your plans are always gonna be THE BEST for me..

"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 FUTURE."

- Jeremiah 29:11 NIV -

What a beautiful promise of the LORD (",)

- "Thankful." -

I'm thankful for being my imperfect parents' child
coz I know there's a lot of children out there longing for parents' love

I'm thankful for the difficult subjects in my study
coz many people having no chance to be well-educated

I'm thankful for my naughty students
coz I can share my knowledge with them and watch them grow to be great people

I'm thankful for the friends around me
coz most people are lonely

I'm thankful for my innocent pets
coz God uses them to cheer me everyday

I'm thankful for my "far away" house
coz lots of people are homeless

I'm thankful for my simple meals
coz many people have to go to bed in hunger for days

I'm thankful for the heat of the sun that crush on my skin
coz it means that I'm still alive

I'm thankful for my myopic eyes
coz lots of people are blind

I'm thankful for my allergic nose
coz many patients can't even breathe without medical equipment

I'm thankful for being pressed by others in the public transportation
coz some people even have to walk by their feet for miles

I'm thankful for my problems
coz I know they make me tougher and more mature each day

I'm thankful for being short
coz many people even lose their parts of body

and most of all..
I'm thankful for knowing YOU in my life
for there's none like YOU and no one else can touch my heart like YOU do :)

See.. So many things to be thankful for.
What else should I complain about?
There's always, always, always something to be thankful for (",)
I love YOU, Lord.. I'm thankful.

- "I'm single and very HAPPY =D" -

Mereka bilang aku pemilih dan kesepian
Terlalu keras menjalani hidup
Beribu nasehat dan petuah yang diberikan
Berharap hidupku bahagia

Aku baik-baik saja
Menikmati hidup yang aku punya
Hidupku sangat sempurna
I'm single and very happy
Mengejar mimpi-mimpi indah
Bebas lakukan yang aku suka
Berteman dengan siapa saja
I'm single and very happy

Mereka bilang sudah saatnya karna usia
Untuk mencari sang kekasih hati
Tapi kuyakin akan datang pasangan jiwaku
Pada waktu dan cara yang indah

Aku baik-baik saja
Menikmati hidup yang aku punya
Hidupku sangat sempurna
I'm single and very happy
Mengejar mimpi-mimpi indah
Bebas lakukan yang aku suka
Berteman dengan siapa saja
I'm single and very happy

Waktu terus berjalan dan tak bisa kuhentikan
Kuinginkan yang terbaik untuk hidupku :)

This song is really "ME"!! ^^

Suddenly feel so..

Hhhhh!!

- "My Kung Pao Chicken" -

Seperti biasa kalo libur,, rasanya gak afdol kalo gw ga bikin masakan hehehe :D
So today.. I made my chicken kung pao ala Chef Astrid wkwk..
Kalo liburan yang lalu gw masak makanan Western melulu seperti fettucini tuna dan makaroni panggang, kali ini gw beralih ke masakan Asia.. Iseng2 biar gak cuma bisa bikin pasta aja hehe :)

I really cooked it all by myself.. Mulai dari belanja bahan2nya, menyulap ayam utuh 1 ekor menjadi potongan kecil2 seperti ini, mencuci semua bahannya sampe bersih, dsb.. Pokoknya all by myself hihi ^^

*my 1st kung pao chicken*

Trust me, rasanya enak,, gak mengecewakan hehehe.. Terbayar semua kelelahan masak di dapur selama 1.5 jam saat gw sendiri dan mama papa menikmati masakan gw :)
Pengen masak lagiiiiii! Smoga sebelum liburan berakhir, gw masi sempat mencoba memasak makanan lainnya.. ^^

Wanna try some? Come to my house then hihi ;)

- "MY 20th" -

Well.. Another great birthday for me today ^^

This morning I woke up at 9 and I found so many bday greetings from my lovely friends on my BB.. And when I turn my head to the right, I saw a quite big box of present from my mom with a cute pink card on it.. That was so sweet hehehe :)

*a gift from my parents*

Then I went to campus in a rush because I wanted to attend a Holy mass at chapel at 12 o'clock with my friends: Ria, Sulis, Juju, and Hartono.. After the mass, I had a confession sacrament and I felt so relieved..

Being so hungry, we went to SOSIALITA @ Sky Dining to have a birthday lunch and lil' sweet celebration there :D
There was a small pudding given to me as a symbol of a birthday cake, 2 great presents from them, and also a lovely hand-made birthday card made by Ria.. Soooo cuteeee!!
I couldn't even hold my tears of happiness on when I read the message in the card.. Pfiuhh.

*my eyes were red.. hiks*

*with my bestiest*

After that we headed to EX because Ria told me that Levina was waiting there for us. When we got there, she was eating frozen yoghurt at JCo.. Without being suspicious, I came nearer to her table. But suddenly from the corner of the room, Ina jumped out with a big bday cake in her hand and shouted : "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
Huaahhh.. I was so shocked because I didn't think that there would be anybody else except Lev there.. And every single eye in the room looked on me directly bcos of Ina's loud voice! hahaha -.-"
Then I made a wish, blew the candle, and cut the cake into pieces.. Before we ate the cake, Lev leaded a prayer for me and we prayed together :)

And out of my awareness, suddenly Ria and Sulis rubbed my cheeks with the cake's cream!! And everyone of them started to do so 'till my face was full with cream. And at last they rubbed a big cream of pink rose to my nose! Unfortunately, the pink color couldn't be easily removed. So my nose was colored in pink.. And then I walked with shame at EX while my friends kept laughing at my RED NOSE! Can you imagine that?! Hahaha.. Zzzz -.-"

*see what they have done to me!*

I went home at 5 and the others watched the movie together.. I wish I could join them but unluckily I couldn't bcos I had to have dinner with my parents.. So my father picked me up and we reached home before 6. Reaching home, I took a bath and prepared myself to go for the dinner. For just about an hour later, me and my parents were at Hanamasa - Puri. Well.. I ate like crazy haha.. I was wondering how much calories do I have to burn tomorrow for having a big dinner like this. And I went home with a VERY FULL stomach! Please pay attention with the word "VERY". Hahaha..
I know it's not healthy, though. But I think that it's gonna be okay for having it only once a year wkwk :P

After we had finished the dinner, I got home and.. Here I am writing on my blog and smiling while remembering the sweet memories written in my life today :)
Thank you guys for making my bday so special..
I know exactly that my bday wouldn't be as great and memorable as today without you all being by my side and cheer me up all the day.. Your presence means a lot to me..
