Nasi Uduk

Warning! If you're hungry, better go find something to eat first than drooling over your laptop/phone/etc lol.


Many things happened today. Like, things that gave me lasting impressions and worth to be remembered.
I called this kind of stuff 'bottle-up moments'.
Because some moments are just too precious, too rare, and if you could just put them all in a bottle, then you could pick one bottle, one memory, from time to time.
Just to remind you how was it back then.

Okay so here they are :

1. Shilton's birthday! YAY!! Legal! Happy birthday once again, Bro!
All the best for your study, your ministry, your relationships with Pricil and friends, and most of all so you experience Jesus deeper in your daily life. So that in everything that you do, you feel God and ppl see Him in you as well.
Keep the fire burning! :P:P

2. Ci Gil's nasi uduk!
Have been drooling over her instagram's pic this morning.
Her mom came and brought this precious little food from Jakarta.
The glorious nasi uduk.
And I first saw it with empty stomach ._. errr
Then after attending the 3rd service in our church, Ci Gil gave Tirza and I one big container full of...
Happiness. Muahaha! It's the nasi uduk. OMG.
That awesome moments when you hit jackpot.
See? You wouldn't know.
How one small thing you do could touch someone's heart (or stomach) so deep.

3. Sharing moments with my bestie! Thanks for hearing me out, like, for every silly details and all the repeated story over the Royal Pudding. Lol.
It's nice to know that you have this kindred spirit that always be there to listen and pray for you.
I'm sosososo grateful and thankful and blessed.
Let's walk together in faith.
I know we'll be okay and, more than okay, we are victors!
Simply because our Father is the one who hold the whole universe and our own little world as well :P
I know someday, soon, we'll be looking back at these moments and said,
"Well. I'm glad THAT happened. So now I....."
Okay, yes, I don't know what the ..... yet, but I know it's something awesome :P:P

You remember I had had dogs.
Sometimes I take them out for a walk nearby my house complex.
I walk in front with the leash in my hand.
But sometimes, through the leash, I can feel that my dog was not following.
I turned around and I saw her sniffing flowers, bushes, poles, even sometimes sniffing other dogs lol lol.
One time she got too busy sniffing here and there, a car almost ran her over.
Luckily I managed to tug her leash and saved her from becoming doggy penyet ._.

Pardon my metaphor.

What I'm trying to say is..
Our life is a longgggggg and winding race
(for those who still 'sleeping' somewhere : YES YOU'RE ON  A RACEEEEEE!! WAKEUPP YOU COUCH POTATO)
Even knowing the fact that there is too little time and so much to do, we still manage to slow down and literally slack.
Many times, during our 'leisurely slacking' moments, we got distracted by the view surrounding us.
We 'sniff' on things that look, well, fun. Nice. Easy.
Why not?
Everybody's doing so as well.
Why shouldn't I?
Well you should ask my dog. Sniffing around is almost caused her fatal damage.
You know that you're life is safe in His hand, right?
Therefore, I believe that what happened to us now is like our leash is being tugged.
Maybe we're wandering to a dangerous place, where you know you shouldn't be there in the first place, but you just can't let it go.
Maybe we tied up to those 'flowers, bushes' too long till we forgot our purpose, and that we should move forward.
Well, then I'm glad that my leash is being tugged.
Because it means I am saved. I am loved. And that there is no place for insecurities.
I would just let go of everything that He wants me to let go and continuing my journey wherever He leads me to.

If only my dog never let her eyes wander and just follow me, she would never had to experienced the near-death moments, wouldn't she?
If only she just ran after me and never sight-see here and there, she would do just fine, right?

Then, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
To never let my eyes wander and just follow Him till the end.


Good night, blessed peeps.

When God Made a Promise

“I know this is too fast. And please don’t ask me why, because I don’t have the answer. I don’t know why.” “I won’t ask you why. Because I know.. It’s God.”   Wkwkwkwkwwkwkwkwkww duh supershy padahal biasanya ga tau malu. I’m still getting used to this. But those who viewed our IG feed and saw the pic posted in FB would know what this is all about. The Promise of God. It’s been there, mentioned the wholeee time in my earlier posts, yet unnamed. I’ll try to recall the whole story. Some details would be lost in translation because there are wayyyy TOO MANY. Haha. Fyi. I’VE BEEN WAITING SOOO LOOOONG TO SHOUT THIS OUT LOUD. So, here goes. Last Sunday, R asked me out to dinner. A few days before, he’s mentioned this fancy place and I calmly (I think) said, “Yes, yes why not” while inside I was [insert screaming emoji here] knowing that this is not a normal dining experience. OMG. I was so glad it’s through a text message, otherwise he would see ...

Thirty Three Is The New Three

“God’s reward growth with pruning. More growth.” I stumbled across a worship moment on YouTube and the word spoken by Michael Miller breathe fresh air into my soul. “Pruning seasons are strange. You get disoriented. You think, “What did I do wrong?” Nothing. My shears are the reward of fruitfulness. You’re being positioned for greater fruitfulness.” Sometimes I forgot that the One who wants to see all of His promises fulfilled in my life more than myself is the Promiser Himself. And in the in-between seasons, He’s still the sweetest reward. A few days ago I woke up with a DM on my Instagram. A friend stumbled across my profile, clicked on my blog and she told me she started crying because God revealed many heart issues she’s not even aware of. I am in awe of what God’s doing behind the scene. The last post was, so far, the hardest writing in my life. I wrote it down while it’s still fresh in my heart, the disappointment, the struggle, the embrace. But today, I wrote from a totally diff...

At the End of My Faith

“At the end of your resources, you’ll find Mine.” The Lord spoke to me gently when I had to withdraw from my emergency fund savings. It was earlier this year. But I realized this journey begins much earlier in my life. I was an accountant and I’m really good at juggling numbers. Making them even. Balanced. But when it comes to managing my own finance, I failed. Big times. It’s either I splurged, and of course I justified myself : Hey, you earned this. Celebrate yourself! I mean, of course, if you turned towards the culture, you would find voices that agrees with your dysfunctions LOL. But deep down, I knew it’s not right. On the other hand, when my savings dwindled under a certain level that I wanted to maintain, I would turn to another extreme, I became so.. Ungenerous. Stingy. I would be so calculative, not just to people, but to myself, too. So 2 years ago, God showed me the root cause of this struggle : “Ke, all of your life, you’ve seen your early father did not cover you in this ...
