Karimunjawa... The Amazing Island

Image
Let me take you back to 6 months ago... =) After such a long time of planning to visit this beautiful, isolated and untouched island – Karimunjawa, I finally got the chance to step my feet onto its land and into its water. This trip took my friends and I around 4 hours car ride from Yogyakarta to Jepara, the Kartini Harbour (left at 12midnight, and reached there around 4am), then another 6 hours of journey by ferry (from 9am till 3pm) just to reach the island. I was so excited about the journey, especially when I was on the ferry. Guess what? I got seasick!!! I was feeling a bit hungry, ate some instant noodles, and felt like vomiting. Bad move! Luckily, nothing came out and I resume back to normal. The secret? Sleep and sleep! Lol! Took quite a few photos while I was on the ferry. Reaching the island was already an achievement for me. Hehe! Met the agent, and we were brought to our homestay nearby the harbour. According to our schedule, the activities start the next day, so, basically...

一个人

看着我的facebook里的朋友有一千多人,那又如何? 我真的不喜欢一个人吃饭。 一个人看戏。 一个人傻笑。 一个人听歌。 一个人发呆。 一个人走路。 一个人一切一切。。。 虽然有时候还是有需要一个人静一静。。。 我还是很享受的。。。 但是如果找不到任何伴的时候是真的很伤心的。。。 该提醒自己,别把快乐的钥匙寄托于他人,得把那把钥匙放进自己的裤袋里。 不管如何, 甄, 你一定要快了哦!

thanks...

thanks for raising me... thanks for giving me... thanks for caring me... thanks for accepting me... thanks for understanding me.. thanks for trusting me... thanks for loving me... thanks for forgiving me... thanks... the everlasting thanks... daddy, mommy, i love you a lot! Honor your father and mother. Ephesians 6:2

Grace and Mercy of God

Image
From the conference the other day, the pastor briefly mentioned about grace and mercy of God. The other day when i shared the 2nd half of the conference in cell group, and mentioned about these two elements in forgiveness, everyone is curious about how to differentiate the two. From the pastor, what i understood is: Grace = we got the blessings which we do not deserve Mercy = we were supposed to die but He gave us life (means that He does not punish us for our sin but show compassion) Before our cell group retreat, we prayed for good weather, caused it was cloudy and rainy the past few weeks. He answered our prayer. the two days were sunny and burning hot! This is the grace of God. The unmerited favour. Mercy, is when He forgives us and spare the punishment when we deserve punishment. For me personally, it's a everyday basis. Indirectly and subconsciously, perhaps intentionally, at times, I make wrong and stupid decisions. At this point, I need His mercy to forgive me! Ask for it f...

weird...

dont feel like talking again... tired? confused? angry? sad? hormonal effects? i guess my anger to myself for not able to start, do and finish certain things are here in my head... i will do them! i will take control over them!

Rain. . .

Finally the rain has reached Jogja. Soaking in the rain is not so bad overall. I wish i have all the energy i need. . . *tik tak tik tak*

Works...

Have been super busy since i got back to Jogja from M'sia 2 months ago (travel, orientation, camps, ymds and etc...), and have no time to write any post since then. Anyhow, i have important stuffs i need to do in this one month time- my skripsi (thesis). Pray for and wish me all the best k! Till then! =) ps: hopefully doctor won't be mad with me for not handling up my still-editing skripsi on time.

Hunger

This one word - HUNGER- scares me a lot. I cannot imagine hunger in any way, as i bet most of you reading this post are as well. Reading the articles about how famine, hunger, poverty are killing children all over the world, especially in Africa, with an ever increasing number day by day, i'm hurt. i'm heart-broken. i'm devastated to help. i felt so much pain all over me. my emotions are disturbed in all aspects. This could not be happening nowadays, especially in this era. But, the reality is, it is. Though eyes might not see, ears might not hear, tongue might not speak about it, but it is happening. All the recent news about hunger finally stir up people from all around the world to notice, donate, and care more about the hungry people outside. I, on the other hand, might not be able to do much to help. There's only one thing i know that i can do, and you as well: PRAY. God will surely send His angels to help. Pray for those charity works going o...

遇见

歌曲: 遇见(yu jian) 歌手:孙燕姿 专辑:the moment 听见冬天的离开 我在某年某月醒过来 我想我等我期待 未来却不能因此安排 阴天傍晚车窗外 未来有一个人在等待 向左向右向前看 爱要拐几个弯才来 我遇见谁会有怎样的对白 我等的人他在多远的未来 我听见风来自地铁和人海 我排著队拿著爱的号码牌 我往前飞飞过一片时间海 我们也曾在爱情里受伤害 我看著路梦的入口有点窄 我遇见你是最美丽的意外 总有一天我的谜底会解开 ps: this song's tune and rhythm are always nice to the ear... actually my main purpose listening to this old song is to get rid of the song "jar of hearts" that stuck in my head yesterday.... lol... =)

new phone

Image
Just one week home, i asked for a new phone. Was really hoping to get one though i can still survive for another semester with my old phone. But but but, daddy and mommy still bought me one! A brand new samsung galaxy tab 7. yoohoo!! me and my tab! =) mirror-like Hehe! Btw, now i'm at home enjoying my piggy life to the max. =)

Power of prayer...

God really answers prayer in His time. He never leaves my side though at times i just can't seem to find Him anywhere close. He sees me through and hear my every single prayer. He guides me and holds me firm all the way. He opens up ways and opportunities and plans in His time. The only thing i could say is: THANK GOD ! Halleluya! Amen!

Praise you in the storm

I just simply love the lyrics of this song by Casting Crowns... And I'll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands for You are who You are no matter where I am and every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Baby delivery…

Image
Last Wednesday was my 5th and last visit to Puskesmas (primary health care) in this block. After my visit in the morning, me and my friends left our phone number at the puskesmas for the midwife to call us if there’s any baby delivery, so that we can go there and watch and assist. Much less to our expectation, with a baby delivery in the morning, we didn’t expect to be called soon until days later. But, that afternoon, around 4pm, I received a call from the midwife, saying there’s a pregnant woman who is going to give birth soon, in stage 1 with cervix dilatation of 3cm. We thought that it might be fast, as the baby delivery that we missed in the morning took place in less than 2 hours from first contraction. Little did we knew that this mother is a nullipara or primigravida (first time pregnant)! Hence, we spend around 6 hours waiting for the mother to give birth in the puskesmas. FYI: Stage 1: regular uterus contraction and cervix dilatation. The full dilatation of cervix is 10cm, wi...

1 Litre of Tears...

Image
This Japanese drama was introduced to me by a friend. He said he cried almost while watching this drama, for almost every episode of it. I’m an emotional girl who cried a lot and will be emotionally affected by anything basically, and there’s no exception to drama. I anticipated about it very much. After watching this drama, like the title, I cried a lot, pretty close to one litre? I don’t know. I just knew I cried a lot. I actually linked this drama to real life. Real setting. I can’t imagine how my tears actually filled my eyes, flowed out from my eyes, run down my cheek, over my chin and dropped on chest, my laps. I cried. The courage the girl showed was beyond imaginable level of mine. The pain she had to go through, losing her ability one by one, step by step was cruel. It was hard to believe the truth but she accepted it finally. She went through it. She found her courage. She found her strength. Aya really inspired me a lot. I want to read her book. (to read it online, here...

unity of students...

As a student studying in Indonesia, all Malaysian students are united and managed under an association named PKPMI (Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar-Pelajar Malaysia di Indonesia). This association can be said to be the one major association connecting all Malaysian students studying in all provinces in Indonesia, though we have other association such as Kelab UMNO and other religious clubs that unite the students. Frankly, I have no comment towards the purposes of having other clubs within the existence of the main association PKPMI. Events are organized by both clubs, especially PKPMI and UMNO, thus doubling the jobs and with repeating of certain activities as well. Why don’t we have both associations work hand in hand to organize these activities? Why not we unite the students more through both associations, rather than creating more separation among students? To make the situation even worse, in certain activities, it tend to look like a racial celebration where most of those who att...

i hate this feeling. it's draining of me little by little. it's so true that "what the use/purpose of having a long list of friends, when i dunno who to call at the end of the day? i need only one close to heart..." i miss home, cause at home at least i still have mommy and daddy...

the fire inside me..

Image
I believe that everyone has a special spirit, source of support and encouragement inside them. It can be shown/ written all over the person, or hidden deep in the heart. No matter where it is, we cannot ignore that it is there. I call it “ FIRE ”. How does this “fire” works? It burns in us and eventually drives us to a higher level. It is a positive strength in everyone’s life. It helps us to do more and more. It helps us to keep moving and upgrade ourselves. It keeps us from giving up. It keeps us hanging on to life no matter what happen. It brings us satisfaction. It brings forth the fruits of hard work. It showers us with variety of experiences and lessons of life. It showers us with happiness. But, but, but… Does it hurt when it’s burning in us? Yes it does. It hurts when we fail to do something. It hurts when we fail to achieve our targets. It hurts when we fall. It hurts when we found that we’re the loner with the spirit, at times. it hurts when it causes damage more than good. ...

Questions in life...

Image
There's time when you felt lost, not knowing what you doing. Is it right? Or is it wrong? What should you do in certain situations? Should you talk? Or should you just keep quiet? Should you do it? Or should you just ignore it? Should you run? Or should you walk? Should you be awake? Or should you be sleeping? Should you be angry? Or should you just forgive and forget? Should you continue to be confused? Or should you clarify it? Should you be optimistic? Or should you be pessimistic? Should you be reading book? Or should you be watching movie? Should you be alone? Or should you join your friends? Should you be in your room? Or should you be out? Should you? Should you? And should you? How many questions do we have in our lives? How many times we doubt our decisions? How many times were we lost? How many times we fail? How many times we succeed? How many times we ponder? How many times we dream? Yet, sometimes your emotion is just uncontrollable and gushes out from within… Take you...

Commitment...

Image
I have been a medical student for 2 and a half years now, with another semester to go and I'll be finishing my third year of medical school. In another year, i'll be having clinical rotation... The trigger: Yesterday, Sunday, I made up my mind to visit and help out at a Sunday clinic nearby. The moment i went inside, i felt lost. There were many people (or patients) sitting outside waiting to be treated. In one room there were 3 koas seniors while the other room empty. Hence, i went into the other room with my friend and started to do vital sign examination, where later they will be examined by the doctors in the other room. I do not know should i do full anamnesis or not, as the doctor might do it later again, so, i chose not to do a full one, but only a brief anamnesis. At the end of the day, a targeted number of patients (around 30) were being treated. Then, the doctor (or koas seniors) came over and talked to us. They told us of what we can do to help out and improve our o...

腳步

詞曲/盛曉玫 祢的腳步 帶著我的腳步 一步一步 都有祝福 每個腳步 我要緊緊跟隨 走在蒙福的道路 求給我更多的勇氣 給我更多的信心 讓我勇敢踏出跟隨祢的腳步 跟祢行在水面上 跟祢走在曠野地 曲曲折折我也不在乎 我只要更多信靠祢 只要更多順服祢 凡是出於祢的我就默然不語 就算經過黑暗谷 就算遇到暴風雨 在祢手中都將變成祝福 i really love this song... the lyric mean a lot to me. hope you'll like it as well. =)
