CHA DO RI's Time

Happy New Year 2015! God bless thru out this year! So, December 2014 were days off for me. I was absent 1 week for bed rest at home. Then I took 25-28 December leave for Christmas. And at last, office was close from 1-4 January due to New Year holidays. What a month for me! Our plan going to Gunung Kidul to visit my relatives on Christmas holidays was failed. Mom, sister, and I only made 1 day trip to Yogyakarta. We had lunch and watched “Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb” in cinema. It’s mom who was not satisfied. So, on my New Year holidays, we determined to make trip to Gunung Kidul, Wonosari, Yogyakarta. Just me and mom with so limited budget, hahaha! So, we departed on January 2, Friday on 5.30 a.m. by bus at Rp 35.000,-. We reached Giwangan bus station, Yogyakarta at 9.30 a.m. Then continued taking bus to Wonosari at Rp 15.000,-. We stopped at Nggrogol at 11.30 a.m. and took motorcycles at Rp 15.000,- to Ngricik, the village where my relatives live. Fr...

Happy wedding my beloved woman: it’s the note Ching Theng left for Chia Yi. That phrase refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others. I had just finished watching a Taiwanese movie “You are the Apple of My Eye” (2011). It’s funny, romantic, touching but did not make me cry (*must be 17+). It tells about Ko Ching Teng, a mischievous prankster (he is cute ^^) who fell in love with a beautiful smart girl named Shen Chia Yi. Doing m***n in class, Ching Teng got punishment so he had to sit in front of Chia Yi. One day in English class, Ching Teng secretly lent his book to Chia Yi and got detention for her. Touching by his generosity, Chia Yi started to give him paper work so he studied at home. Every morning, by punching her blue ink pen to Ching Teng’s back, Chia Yi asked the paper work back to be corrected. It did improve Ching Teng’s study ability.

Reading Yahoo News for Thursday, October 23, 2014, I was interested first with the article about Ahok, the Governor of DKI Jakarta. However, what I was interested the most was the first paragraph that describes about “Diwali celebration in India House, Jalan Taman Suropati Nomor 6, Menteng, Jakarta Pusat ”. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by Hindu as the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. They will clean the house the day before Diwali. On Diwali nights, they dress up in new clothes and light up diyas (oil lamp) and join family puja (worship) . They also exchange gifts, eat sweets, and lit the fireworks. It is also the time for family and friends to bond relationship. Although I never come to see it myself, it sounds nice, with the fireworks and sweets. It seems like Christmas Day for me ^^ May this cheer and joy, this merriment and mirth of this divine and blessing festival, may surround you forever … Happy Dipawali ^^

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up to walk on stormy seas; I am strong when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up to more than I can be. September is a though month … Mount Slamet was rumbling … No rain for the season as no glimpse of hope for me … Events and birthdays came from the beloved people … Trial came with health problem as well … Planning was just plan … Suddenly I remembered of this song and was tearing up listening to the first verse … It’s so much me … BUT don’t count just the bad things … I also have to count all the good things that happen each day … SEE, God gives you more good things than the bad one … That’s how you should give thanks to God even for the smallest thing as you breath … ^^

Malcolm Kelley (born 1992 – actor and singer) & Tony Oller (born 1991 – actor and singer-song writer). MK and TO formed an American duo with their 2 nd single “Classic” released on June, 2013. I found this cool song when I was surfing the comments left on Roommates fan page in kengsub.com … And I just realized that I missed many things in the lyric because I know nothing what it talks about ^^ Far below, you can find pictures of what this song refers to...

This morning I got a gift from my friend, Irma, in the office. She just brought a wrap of tissue. And colorful candies were in the inside ^^ “These are for you to have a sweet day!” Isn’t it so sweet? Thank you, Ir ^^ Chocolate is really helpful to cheer you. Hopefully the sweetness can defeat the bitterness of my days … ^^

I was always thinking that they have similar face ... happy end of June ^^
