I figured, when we share what God has done in our lives, or testifying, not only that it may bless others, it firstly blesses yourself! When you put it into words, and hear yourself mentioning with your own mouth how The Lord has blessed you, how good He is, how graceful and gentle, how faithful He is when you aren't.. It makes you realize if you haven't already, or reminds you that He is indeed good and He loves you!
And things that had happened to me and my friends lately, it's all about His timing.
We know His plans are good. That's for sure! Check out His promises:
"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 a future.."
~ Jeremiah 29:11
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
~ Romans 8:28
And a verse I just learned this morning:
"However, the Lord your God.. ..turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you." ~ Deuteronomy 23:5
..and tons of other verses that reveals to us that the Lord's heart is to bless us! And we are qualified to receive all these, not in and of ourselves, but because of what Jesus has done for us. He died on the cross in our place, so that we can be in Him, and are able to receive whatever God has promised in the old and new testament. We only can be blessed in Christ!
So that, we need not worry. It's the timing that's usually harder for us.
I know God will answer my prayers, but when?
I know I'll meet that guy (or girl,) but when?
I know God has prepared me a perfect job! But when?
It's always the 'when's.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens"
~ Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV
I have nothing to say, other than just keep trusting God. He knows what He's doing. You might be smack in the middle of the storm, but just wait for the time when you'll see our Jesus walking on water! Or you might be in a "dead Lazarus" situation, where Jesus seems to be too late. Just trust Him, and He will come reviving your dead Lazarus!
Whatever the situation, whatever the wait, trust that He is still in control, that His plans are the best for you, and while waiting, just set your eyes on Jesus, and enjoy your walk with Him! In the end, He will leave you in awe, and have no choice but to glorify Him :)
And if you have done mistakes, know that your mistakes is NOT bigger than our God. He can turn curses into blessings, and he makes EVERYTHING, that is good and bad, work together for your good! Don't be condemned, just come to our Daddy, and He's there to comfort you, and let Him do His job: saving you!
Lately the school schedule is 9-6. My bodyclock is messed up, I still can't make myself sleep earlier, and lately I haven't been getting enough sleep.
Sunday: 4-7 am (3 hours) Monday: 4-7 am (3 hours) Tuesday: 4-10 am (6 hours) Wednesday: 3-7.30 (4.5 hours)
And now it's Thursday.
Today I was 20 minutes late. No joke! I was the last one to come. When I went into the class, it was dark and Winnie was in the middle of presenting her slides.
I think today's lesson was most interesting this week so far! Typography by Winnie, and Dissertation by David. Dissertation in itself isn't as interesting in Typo so far, but David was as always, entertaining.
Photos of first day of school. We are supposed to draw each other.
Vinay, by me.
Huyen, by Jael.
Me. Thanks, Vinay.
And my fellow ex 3Is.
Sinead, who are you trying to seduce?
Huyen act shy only.
The only male from 3I. And the only guy in the table that day.
And technically, I'm not late cos I havent slept yet. So, July 24 isn't over for me.
This girl looks like she's 16. But really, she's 21.
With Danny!
A brief history of me and her.
We met during highschool, 12th grade. She was my classmate, pretty, sociable, has lots of friends, and popular. The first time I met her, I thought, I'll never be friends with her. Cos I'm just not like that: pretty, sociable, has lots of friends, and popular. We're so different.
Classmates, XIIA5! Spot us!
And you know, in movies they portray popular girls being in an exclusive group? I was never part of that group. In my eyes, she is, I wasn't. Simple equation, I couldn't be friends with her. I don't have the confidence to be one. Man, I have huge self-image problems back then. Talk about stereotyping.
But she wasn't! She's different! She's nice and kind, and strangely we click. Immediately, we became quite close in class.
At one point, I felt so empty, I viewed myself so badly, life was just tiring. That moment I just knew I needed God. So I went asking around my schoolmates for a church. When I was just asking Leo about what church I should go to, Ghon just happens to walk behind me, and asked me to come to her church, which was Gereja Mawar Sharon, Fire of God satellite, my beloved church in Surabaya! And the rest was history.
Created in 09!
Turns out Sally goes there too, and she and Ghon attended the same Remasa B19, or you can call it cell group, connect group, whatever. So, she kept asking me to join the Remasa, but I never wanted to, because it was on Saturday. And Saturday was date and hang out day, I was with my ex back then. And the day I broke up with him was the day I first attended Remasa.
She naturally became my Sponsor (someone who helps the cellgroup leader), and Ghon was my Fas (or cellgroup leader.) And this girl has impacted my life in ways words couldn't describe.
First ever family in Christ!
I remembered, the impact of knowing Jesus made me so joyful, life felt so colorful! I was so happy, and started collecting lots and lots of colored pen to use in my textbooks and diary. And she would use them to fill in her diary, taking it without even asking my permissions. As if it was hers. And I actually was happy about it! Means that she doesn't feel awkward around me to just snatch my stuff like that. Weird huh?
AOG Bootcamp 2010
She has definitely definitely (yes it was repeated) made a difference in my life. I am who I am now, partly because of her. I learned how to be okay with myself, learning the love of Jesus, that I am precious to Him no matter what I'm like, which made me able to accept who I am. I learned a lot about Jesus from her, not only from what she told me but her way of life as well. Being around her gives me a certain kind of peace.
And because of Jesus, through her, my last year of highschool was such happy days! I was less negative, and enjoyed school days!
High school days.. Barbeque in my house!
And I just broke up with my ex at that period of time, and it was hard. And she was always there for me. At school, I would find comfort in her, curcol-ing in class, and cried in front of her, and we would pray together.. At night when I felt really lonely (you know, when you usually have a boyfriend and now you don't,) I'd call her, and she would chat with me until I felt better.. I didn't know how she was able to be so patient with me.
And she told me her stories! Who she likes, what she's going through, what God spoke to her about.. Me being someone who thought she wasn't good enough to be anybody's friend, that means a lot to me. It's like she sees me as equal and trustworthy enough to be told her stories. That was such a good feeling! People who does that to me at that time can be counted with fingers. (Ones that immediately pops into my mind was Cia2 and Matthew. Kumerindukanmu)
High school graduation, with Banjar and Nyak2!
Highschool CD
I know I can be annoying, especially when I don't return BBMs, or take a long time to reply.. I'm working on it and always know, I always miss you mom!
When I left for Singapore..
And a special shoutout for today,
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!!

Finally those 2 on my right and left are official!
I'm so excited!!!! And happy for you guys!!! (to Ko Ren: Aku ngepost atas ijin Sally yo ko wkwkwk)
And getting together during your 21st birthday!!! SWEET CAN?? ARGH!!!
After all these YEARS!!! It's like watching a soap opera can! Now that it's official I think a lot of us can bernafas lega. I am sincerely very happy :D
So now that they're official, I'll just open it to all that they are couple number 3 in this post.
So!! Enjoy the rest of your lives together now! (Koyok merit ae) May Jesus be the center of your relationships yeah!!! Hoooorayyyyyy!!!!!!
It's weird coming to class and not finding Vivin and Wily and Fong2 and Yaya and Pants and Louis and etc.. I really do miss them!!
But thank GOD there's Zee and Vinay and Huyen and Sinead!! 5/35 is from 3I!! I'm so happy hahaha.. But it's separated into 2 classes, A and B. I am in class B, with Vinay and Zee. Good enough.
This new class consists various types of strong personalities... 3I is really pretty normal in comparison. I don't know.. Still adjusting I guess.
There are a few old faces from 1M.. There's the supertalented Jael, David's favorite Sock Ying, and there's Nicole as well!
1M, 2010. I miss Mellisa!
And there's this girl named Felicia who once went to Surabaya for a mission trip!! How cool is that? The name reminds me of Cia2..
What we do is completely different from diploma. It's more to voicing your opinions (so far), think think think. I'd say it's still pretty boring.. I fell asleep a few times in class this morning =.=
Sorry Terence..
I really hope it will be more exciting! And as fun as the trip to England sounds (yes, it's part of our module,) I think I still don't get the feel yet. Maybe in a few weeks.
Yesterday I realized that I have no school bag. My last bag I used for 3I was this canvas bag that I bought in a hurry cos the handle of the previous bag broke.
..and when Yaya and Jesper calls me "aunty" back then, I think this bag plays a part. I still like it though, I think it's cute.
But! I've been wanting a backpack now. And this would probably be my last chance of carrying a backpack to school. So, I went to buy one immediately yesterday!
Originally I planned to go to Bugis with Huyen, but then something came up. So oh well, I thought I would have to go alone then. But really, God cares about the small stuff. Out of nowhere, Christine (CP) was there as well! She suddenly Whatsapped me, said that there's Elf (make up) products, which I was looking for a few weeks back, at Bugis. I asked her whether she's at Bugis right now, and she is!! *angels choir*
And guess what, she was also looking for a backpack!! Haha!! Perfect. So we went backpack shopping. We went around Bugis+, and eventually to Bugis Street. First floor was crowded and hot as always, so we didn't stay there for long and went to the second floor. Found nothing that is worth buying, we went to the third floor.
There was this fake leather bag that we quite liked, but it's too small. It doesn't fit a laptop. We we needed to let it go. I was almost giving up hope, when we went this this last shop in the last row of the 3rd level, and I spotted this Union Jack bag, and fell in love immediately. CP also found a black Hello Kitty backpack that she liked, and we bought both bags. Here it is!
How much was it? Some guessed S$40. Some guessed S$25.
WRONG!!
It was S$15!! The shop was having a moving out sale, so the prices are cut down pretty cheap! CP's bag was S$15 as well :D
Passed another store and saw this high waisted shorts. I was looking for a nice high waisted shorts for a long time. But it wasn't easy because of my huge thighs, high waisted shorts can look unflattering on me. Tried a few, picked one that I liked, and bought it! That's what I call "impulse buying."
However, the fray was too much and too neat.
look at the fray!!!!
I wanted it to look more ragged. So I did my own little DIY, and here's what it looks like now!
By thinning the fray, my only concern is the length. I didn't realize that because the fray was excessive, it actually adds to the length of the shorts. Now that it's mostly gone, it takes away around 2 cm of the length :/
I'm really not ready yet :/ Still want MORE holiday! Hhh..
And the schedule is packed. At NAFA we usually have a no-class day in a week. But we don't have that for degree.
Now I understand why they made the degree program into 2 years. But I'd still rather finish it in 1 year.
My flight was at 6.05 am, which means I needed to wake up at around 3.30 am, leave at 4 am, reach the airport at 4.30, and settle everything.
We had dinner at De Soematra restaurant, and got home at around 10 pm. It was a gorgeous restaurant, very pretty! The location was originally a house. It looked very vintage, I think it was built during period when Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch. The one who owned it must be someone rich or influential. It was huge and beautiful. Detailed post about the dinner coming up! Probably.
By the time we reached home, I started packing. It was pretty quick because I didn't bring a lot of items back to Indonesia. Had a shower, and dad told me to go to bed straight away. But that is just not going to happen. I'd rather not sleep at all than sleep for an insufficient amount of time and waking up a zombie.
*Watching Running Man ep 101 now and laughing like crazy*
So I went to continue reading my Hunter x Hunter, and my mom walked walked in to my room.
We talked and talked.. She's having a music album coming up very soon! It's a religious music album, and it will be launched next week on July 28!! How exciting! :D
It's called:
"Di Kaki Bapa"
(literally means "at the Father's feet")
by Mirelle & Anthony. Please support us by purchasing it! All profits will go to charity and donated to the churches all around! You can find it at Disc Tarra :D I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to show pictures of the album now before the launch date.. So I'll leave it at this for now.
The launch will be on:
July 28, 2012
at Galaxy Mall Surabaya, at the atrium at ground floor,
6.30 pm.
If you're going to be at Galaxy Mall during that period, do come and take a look! I would appreciate it so much! :D
It has been a long journey since my mom and my uncle started this project. There were a lot of ups and downs, supports and oppositions from various parties.. But God is faithful! He opened doors for them to reach this point. They teamed up with Disc Tarra! It is a huge label, their stores are spread across Indonesia. That's God's grace right there.
We talked and prayed together. Mom went back to her room at around 1am. I went back to reading Hunter x Hunter until around 2am, and then decided to just lay there on my bed until 3.30, but then fell asleep.
Woke up at 3, which was half an hour before planned. All I could think of was getting the journey to Singapore over with and go back to bed in Singapore.
So there goes the familiar journey to the airport. I wish I could just skip the part of separating with my parents. I hate the feeling. It's been the third time in this two months!!! This shows I can't be working anywhere further than Singapore. I don't want to be far away from my family.
On the plane, I wanted to watch this movie entitled "The Deep Blue Sea" but it was just boring. It has the feel of this old french movie where there's not much dialog and lots of music playing. No lyrics, mostly violin (I think), just to set the ambiance. But yeah, those kinds of movies just does not suit me. I went on to watching CSI. Way better!
Thank God I didn't feel nauseous. We landed safely. I went back home, settled some stuff which needed to be settled, and WENT STRAIGHT TO BED! My slumber was disrupted for a while because of lunch, but I went back to it immediately after. Woke up at 7.30 for dinner, and stayed awake till now.
Anyway, I realized I needed a bag for school! I have no bag! I wanted a backpack.
All images from Pinterest. I want those kind of backpacks! Probably will shop tomorrow after class. I hope I find one! (Gosh look at those legs!)
And lastly, what I wore on the way back here.
Yes I blinked.
Braided to keep it tidy and out of my face. And the dyed hair!! :D
Going to bed soon. School tomorrow. I really am not ready, but I have a feeling God will do amazing stuff this year ahead.
I dooo not like it if I need to wake up earlier than usual. Hrrr.
And I dyed my hair last Tuesday, and I was going for the dip dye effect. But I think it was a fail. Did not like it, planning to meet the hairdresser again soon. Now it looks like there are yellow blotches among my dark brown hair. Terrible! We'll see how this turns out!
A lot is happening daily! I think a lot always happens, it's just that we I am too oblivious of it. But since I got my new (lightweight) camera (which makes me able to carry it literally everywhere I go,) I've been documenting most of my life, and I realize a lot actually happens every day!
So I have a short queue of stories. We'll see if I'm diligent enough to write them all.
These pass few days (except today) I've been constantly hanging with these 2 DOP friends: Mr. Ijiang Tjandra (Iyang) and Mr. Wijaya Sutejo (Wie.)
Iyang and Wie in 07. They look way better now :)
It's been years since I've last met Iyang! And I don't think he's changed one bit. Except maybe now he's better in Chinese since he studies in Taiwan. We first met in CCRO, a Ragnarok Online private server. I am always grateful to Vivi who asked me to play. Those days were one of the happiest days of my life. They are all kind funny people, really fun to hang around them! I've done a post about one of them, Awen, here, and Wie was mentioned anonymously and a post dedicated to talk about him. Maybe I'll do some more about the others.
Iyang was the leader of our guild back then. My RO character was named Caramelle, and his was Ukitake Juushiro (Wow! I still remember!) Vivi's was Chlisya, Tony's was Joker (in fancy2 decorated characters), Awen's was Awen, Nuz' was Mochona.. I can't remember the rest.. I'd love to post photos of our guild back then, but all of it is in my old computer!!
Photo taken from Tony's facebook page. I think the green sniper on the right is me.
Still, our guild has way more member than this.
Anyway. We met online, but I first saw his face at school. Turns out he's my senior! He was doing this project for the Social class students, and he was selling this ceramic thing for Rp20.000. I ordered one to help him out, and until NOW I have not received that tortoise design I ordered frikkin SIX years ago (gives how old I am.)
But we got really close as friends later that academic year, when I was 16. We went to Tony's villa, and that's when I really fell in love with all these people. So, we really go way back.
He's a nice guy. You can see that he's kind. He's the guy you bully in the group, and I think he got fed up a few times because of that. *Biyane (sorry in Korean, red.) But that's why I love having him around when we go out! It's almost a guarantee that you'll have more laugh, watching him get bullied and because he's kind of funny too.
And in the orderly DOP fashion, all plans to go out is mostly pretty sudden. Including the one 2 days ago.
.
So 2 days ago, I was up pretty early. All who knows me well should know by now that I don't do waking-up-early. But I woke up at 9 yesterday, having the fact that I slept at 3 the night before.
That does NOT happen often.
We went to visit a few banks, settle a few stuff, and by the time we had lunch at Grand City, I was feeling energyless.
Lunch.
Didn't feel like talking, didn't feel like moving, slept in the car, I think it looked to my parents as if I was sick. All I can think of was go home and lay on the bed, if not sleeping, reading mangas and eventually fall asleep.
BUT. I was asked out by these 2 human beings. They planned to go out around 4 pm, and I was informed pretty early in the afternoon, and all along it has been a might-go-might-not-go situation cos I didn't know when I would reach home, and there was no firm confirmation yet that we will be going out. It was just hanging there, but leaning more towards the possibility of going out unless anything that hinders happens.
So, when I reached home at 3, it was a 99% possibility that we will be going out. And I was SO TIRED. Went straight to my room, threw myself on the bed, opened my laptop, read Hunter x Hunter, and waiting for myself to fall asleep while reading. It's really one of my favorite ways of falling asleep, aside from (1)talking to God and (2)creating imaginary scenes in my head (ranging from being Jeremy Lin's girlfriend <3 and being a part of Luffy's crew in One Piece.)
But poor me, my handphone rang and it was Iyang telling me that they were close to my house (already), and reaching any minute now. My mind really wanted to go and meet this old friend whom I have not seen for 3 years, but my exhausted body is saying the exact opposite. But eventually I dragged myself out of bed, put some light make up on (yes I do put on something on my face,) and got ready.
A while later, they arrived and we left for Tunjungan Plaza. Once we reached, both of them went to grab some food. I just found out that they postponed eating cos they thought I haven't eaten and waited for me. But turned out I have eaten. Too bad but thanks!! :D
While they were eating, I drank Quickly. It's been very long since I last drank Quickly.
After eating, we went to play Pump at Stingers. Iyang and Wie was pretty confident about it. I'm not very familiar with Pump, but it's similar to Dance Dance Revolution (which I think I'm pretty good at,) so it was quite easy for me to adapt.
There were 3 Pump machine. In one of them, there's this guy playing on it and it's obvious that he's a pro. He has all these fancy dance moves and he uses both pads, whatever. Us amateurs went to the other machine and played. And to entertain your eyes, here is a picture of 2 very fine guys strutting their stuff.
And here's a VIDEO of it.
We played a few games of Pump, and was exhausted not long after. There's a lot of screaming going on when we started to mess the steps. After the game Wie said something like "iki game mesti e kaki seng gerak tp malah tenggorokan seng sakit, keakehen teriak," (this is a game where we're supposed to use our feet, but now our throats are hurting due to all the screaming) which you might find very normal now but I found hilarious at that point.
It was around 6 I think, and being stranded without any destination, we decided to watch a movie. So we bought tickets for Ice Age 4, which starts at 7.35 pm.
While waiting, we played this awesome game I just fell in love with, MONOPOLY DEAL!!! It was so fun!! Eventhough I was still a noob, it was still fun! We played at Studio Foodcourt next to the movies, and Wie won most of them. You can see through this game that he's a wise smart guy. Iyang bagged 2 games and I proudly won none.
It was saddening to be playing for 1,5 hours and win no game. But oh well, we have a movie to catch.
Movie Review: Ice Age 4 is alright, it was funny. Definitely better than The Lorax. 7/10.
After the movie, we planned to take dinner. But, we still had some coins left from playing Pump before (Wie and Iyang bought 20 coins altogether. I just freeloaded) so we went to play Pump again to use up all the coins. And the same guy from the afternoon (according to Wie. He said that this guy had the same earring with the guy from before) was still playing at the same Pump machine. Amazing with the earring detail there, man. So again us amateurs went to another machine to play. We tried an rated 8 difficulty only to embarrass ourselves. But who cares, it was fun :)
After the game, we decided to head for dinner, but all the restaurants in the mall are closing! So we went to eat at Ayam Goreng Presiden. There were lots of chickens on display there, but guess what, someone PREORDERED THEM ALL!! There were a BASKETFULL of chicken thighs and someone preordered them ALL!! *exhale.
So we moved to Ayam Goreng Pemuda, made our orders, and while waiting, again we played Monopoly! Here I won my first game! :D And there's this one point where Iyang took all our properties, and there was an obvious imbalance on the scene on the table there. I documented it.
Greedy.
err.
Dinner.
After dinner, we stayed there and played Monopoly again until the restaurant closes. It was around 10.30 I believe.
Then we went to send Iyang home. He just moved, so I wanted to see his new apartment where he's living in now, and guess what. We played Monopoly AGAIN in the lobby!! Cherry, Iyang's little sister, came to join us. Here, I managed to win more games :) Getting pro-er and pro-er!
We played until it's TWO am, and decided that it's late enough.
And that's not the end of the day yet. One more last shock still awaits, and that is the parking fee.
What about the parking fee, you ask?
Make a guess. How much do you think it was? We stayed there for 3 hours. Rp 3000? Rp 10.000? Rp 30.000?

It was frikkin Rp 79.000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEVENTY NINE THOUSAND RUPIAHS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who pays that kind of money for a 3 hour parking??? The reason they gave us was that we stayed there past 12 o'clock, and it counts as an overnight stay, which costs Rp 75.000!!!! I was so shocked I could only laugh. It's so crazy that it made itself funny. It was an I-couldn't-believe-this-is-happening-to-me kind of laugh.
But well we paid it, and head home.
And it was the end of the day! :D Btw, once I met them, the tiredness earlier just went away.
.
I am very grateful for all the friends God gave me. I know for sure I'm not a sociable person. There are people who are just good at making friends, and having friends for them is like a normal thing in life. Well, I'm definitely NOT included in that clan. I have always find it difficult in making friends.
And that's why, I know that if I have friends now, it's all by God's grace. And I find them very precious.
A few years ago, before I repented to be exact, I would've never thought anyone would ask me to hang out and stuff. It did happen, but not a lot, and I view myself as someone unlikeable.
After I repented, I think my focus slowly shifted and these things doesn't bother me as much. Then, after a few months of getting to know Jesus, my family started to see a change in me. A positive change. I think it's a by-product of getting to know Jesus. You are transformed!
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
- 2 Corinthians 3:18
And this is not self claimed okay, my mom said this to me. I don't know if my friends feel this too. But whether it is the fact that God is transforming me, or He just sends the right people in my life, I do think I have more friends now and I am very grateful to God for them all!
I'm no fashionista, but here's what I wore on my flight back here.
And the blazer for when it's cold later.
Basically wore everything from my City Plaza trip! (except for the grey dress) Maybe that's why I'm so excited of taking a pic of myself. Because they're all NEW(!!!) Except for the shoes. It was cheap and comfortable, btw. S$18 at 313's Vana (or was it Giovana?)
Uncle Kelly sent me to the airport, reached at 8. Checked in, and then took time to record this.
What do you call this? Installation? But it moves! I don't know. But it's very pretty! I loved it. And I think it's quite new cos the last time I was there (which was around 2 months ago,) it wasn't there.
Went through the immigration, and headed straight to dinner.
Scenario.
My left hand was dragging and carrying these.
Right hand carrying all these.
So being alone, how did I carry this tray to my table?
By the grace of God, there was an empty table nearby. I was wondering how can I get all these stuff including the tray to my table. Prayed a little prayer, moved all the stuff to my right hand (so now it was: pulling the luggage as well as carrying the small yellow bag, with shoulders bearing my other heavy bag), and using my left hand alone, with my blazer hanging on it, carried the tray on it's side. Here's an illustration to help you.
I felt like Hercules.
After dinner, went to the gate to board. Put all my stuff through the checking machine.
And have any of you been wondering what's inside the yellow bag? Well, it's a curry sauce (which makes it liquid). And after passing through the machine, the curry sauce was inspected.
Officer: "What is this?"
Me: "A curry sauce."
Officer: "You cannot bring this."
Me: *puzzled face
Officer: "We have to throw this away."
Me: *puzzled face still
Officer: Because it's liquid and it's over 100 ml.
So the poor curry sauce was taken away. It even still has the "for mummy" post it stuck on it. And aunty took so much effort in making it ( ._.)
Proceeded to the waiting room, and used the time to blog the City Plaza Trip post. I was pretty early. Cos, the last time I flew back to Surabaya, I boarded 10 minutes before the departure time. Bad move, people. Learnt the lesson.
Entering the plane, I always have this secret wish to at least sit beside a good looking guy. Never happened so far. Sat between a grandpa and an Indonesia lady.
Watched "The Lorax" on the plane. I do not like it, would not recommend it.
Near landing, me and the Indonesian lady talked a bit. Turned out she had a liver disease O.O Really wanted to pray for her.. But wasn't brave enough to suddenly Jesus-talk her. So I prayed inside my heart. ( ._.) I was always confused in these kinds of situation. There were times that I just went for it and started sharing about Jesus to strangers and friends, and there were times when I lack courage.. But I really do hope the best for the lady..
Because I hand carried all my luggage, I didn't need to wait for the luggage carrying belt thing. Went straight out to find no faces that I recognize. A little while later, saw my dad and Bryan.
Bryan being brutally honest said that Papi forced him to accompany him picking me up, that he would rather watch TV at home -_-'.. Oh well.. That's my little brother for you!
