it's not a diary. it's a JOURNAL

Yellow peeps ;) A big shout out before I start rambling later. HAPPY PASSOVER/EASTER/RESURRECTION DAY!!!!!!! Whatever the term, today is the remembrance that I live because Someone else had died for me. Hope you guys had the most super awesome long weekend, as I did. Mom's here!! Awesome, right? I'll attached the bw selfie of us, taken using #tongsis from WW lol. We went cafe/brunch hopping. Shop. Eat. Shop some more. And we had some talk. "Talk" Maybe I'll share a bit on the next post. If I feel like it lol. Anyways! Just want to share how amazing life is when you know that you are taken care of. For me, to be able to find happiness and gratitude in the simplest things in life is the definition of 'blessed'. Like noticing how the bus reached just in time when you reached the bus stop. And just now, we, Billy, Ijah and I went for a meeting for the TLG worker's retreat. On the first meeting last wee...

Yellow peeps!!!! AWESOME DAY. Had a sleep-over last night. Followed by a hearty brunch session. Planning to go to Toby's Estate, but then they happened to serve only toast and coffee due to some kind of renovation. So Kith Cafe it is. Their brioche yogurt was superrrrrrrniceeeeee I might go there for the yogurt itself lol. Not forgetting the cozy and relaxing ambiance and the cool drizzly air. Perfect brunch. Perfect companions. Yesterday during cell group fellowship, the topic given was about being an epistle of Christ. Cut thing short, I happened to be reminded that in order to be one 'open-letter' that can be read by basically anyone, we must live a transparent life. A life that is so pure and acceptable so there is no misunderstanding when other ppl sees it. Well, it's true. You can't control what ppl thinks about you. You can't control ppl's opinion on you. But you definitely can control where you are and what you ...

Yelloooww peeps! Long time no blog! Life's been busy, as usual. Live update. Trying the eyelash extension last week. Bahaha! I felt a bit bimbo-ish myself. Well. Never say never. But it turned out quite great. Woke up with bigger eyes and (kinda) fresher looks. They say it should lasts for 3-4 weeks, but I think those lashes were just too delicate for me. Two weeks tops, I say. See how lol. Current hobby : cafe hopping. Have visited a few cafes located in 'rural' area (if Singapore got any). Best part is when we're researching which one to go, leafing through people's blog and food diaries. GoogleMap-ing or GoThere.SG-ing best routes to be taken, I feel like some kind of Indiana Jones in my own treasure hunt. My own cafe-hunt. Bahaha yeah right. Okay. Get to the 'pondering' part. Last week Mom shared her office fellowship's material. I don't remember all (my bad my bad), but it's about taking up the ...

Bye Bye Monday! And see you soon next week...! (Said no one ever. LOL) Blogging in Bahasa because, well, because I just want to. Haha! Here goes. Uhuy! Lama banget ga nulis pake Bahasa. Jadi berasa... Awkward. Ngomong2 soal awkward, Sabtu kemaren sih awkward bgt........ Ok gw ga mau mikir kesana. Mending mikirin yg penting2. Tadi gw, Pricil, Tirza, doa bareng2 drmh gw. Gw diingetin tentang beberapa hal. 1. Masalah hati Kemarin ini gw denger tentang praise and worship, dan kaitanny ttg mindset kita. Jadi sependengaran gw adalah : kita harus belajar dari Abraham. Kan disuruh ngorbanin anaknya, but in the end, sebenernya Tuhan sendiri udah kirimin domba buat dikorbanin. Sering kita punya mindset 'Tuhan ini aku, pake aja aku' pas lagi PW (emang lg buat anak2 PW sih ini sharenya), tp sebenernya yg perlu kita bawa waktu PW adalah Yesus, yg Tuhan udah kasih buat ganti korban itu sendiri. Ok maap ribet dikit. Intinya. Gw jadi berpikir....

Yellow peeps! Technically, I need to get myself some proper sleep. But then, I just need to share a thing, or two.. or three lolol. Here goes. Yesterday during FA, we were having this sharing session. A dear friend of mine shared how she felt like wasting her time studying for things she doesn't even want to pursue further. I was instantly reminded of another friend of mine who experienced similar thing. She took business instead of early childhood education because her mom told her to do so. Well, I think she was awesome back then. She went through 3 years of tough time, memorizing stuff she'd rather not knowing, but then she made it! And we graduated together, went through tough time of finding a job, and she got one in some kind of financial institution. What's makes it even more awesome, she took some courses that was required from her. She studied even more stuff about finance, going far far away from her early dream. Cut the story sh...

Earlier today, I walked back home alone. I think I've mentioned somewhere in this blog that walking alone at night is one of the best moment where I really can think about lots of stuff in peace. Instead of being scared of the darkened streets and dim lights, I was soothed by the calm moon light and the rustling wind. Tonight is a bit different. There are quite a lot of things going on recently. Things that I heard but not quite DOWNED on me. It's like I've been slacking the whole time, not keeping myself alert. I've been too busy taking care of myself, taking care of things that seems so important to me. While walking back, I felt this heaviness on my heart. Realizing that I've been forgetting the purpose given to me, and that my life was slowly focusing back on ME, instead of the One that given me my life. Tonight, I was reminded. Why I was here in the first place. I was reminded that this life I'm living is a gift. And if I st...

Medan, I'm in love. LOL. Seriously, my roommate gained 2kg and I don't dare to weigh myself. LOLOLOL. We went to Medan to attend a friend's wedding dinner. She's one of Kelyn's bridesmaids, and when she asked if we'd like to RSVP for her wedding in Medan, well, why not?? Suffice to say, there were tooooo many bottle-up-moments. I got to meet my best best girls :) One of us is currently working in Jakarta. Another one is still my room mates. The other one is having her first baby in October. (Yes. October babiessss ruleeeeee!!!! It might be due on 5-7 Oct, tentatively. So later we may celebrate our double birthday. I know, right? It's just AWESOME!) A few hours we spent were the best. Talking about our works and people that makes us who we are today. I was reminded how we spent hours and hours sitting around the white IKEA table, wondering about the future. And now here we are. Even better than we could ever thin...
