Lately..

Recently, I've been always sleepy during class hours..
Two weeks left to go for classes and home is welcoming me.. =D

I decided to go back on May 22nd, since my Visa is expired on that day. Can't stay overnight in Jakarta as daddy doesn't allow me to.. :|

Other than that, my current updates..

Korean BBQ
Had this on last Sunday. I finally got to taste it! It was delicious. Though we didn't order that much, cos it was also expensive, but the meat really made us full! =D

Another type of SUSHI. Original! Made by my Japanese friend. =D

Left to right: Eriko (my current housemate), Axiang (Vietnamese), me and Ai (the cook of the day!)

Bread with Pâté
Had this during BK's Birthday Party.
Originally planned to have French cuisine, yet in the end turned into Japanese cuisine.. The curry was still good though! =D

Spaghetti with Tuna and Tomato sauce.
Had this just yesterday, when I had lunch with some friends from the LC.
The lunch was supposed to be a gathering with my fellow Drama members, but some couldn't make it. The food was good and TOO much. But since I was not really in the mood due to something, I still finished it, for the sake of finishing it, no waste. And it was expensive, too.
I think I wouldn't wanna eat Spaghetti anymore til I am home.

The final performance of the Choir!
It was an Easter celebration, held for the Fu Jen's staff - Teachers, officers, etc.
The singing was beautiful, love it.
and after that, we had a Chi Dao Bao lunch, meaning Free Buffet Lunch.
So full til now. Just like yesterday. I've been eating a lot lately!! -_-"


Other than that, there was a Football tournament today. And my tong xue were playing.
Updates will be coming soon..

Til the next post, take care peeps,
God bless! ^^,

Persekutuan Doa Bersama - Indonesian group

Pada hari Sabtu kemarin, sebagian dari kita mengadakan Persekutuan Doa bersama, bertempat di rumah Selvi. Lagu pujian dipimpin oleh saudara kita, Nia bersama dengan Ko Yohanes dan keyboardnya.

Acara dimulai sekitar pukul 17.30, diawali dengan menyanyikan lagu-lagu pujian dan diikuti dengan sharing bertemakan arti Paskah bagi kita semua oleh Romo Wawan.
Persekutuan Doa kali ini boleh dikatakan berbeda dengan yang sebelumnya, karena pada hari itu, 3 Romo dan 1 suster semua hadir ditengah-tengah kita. Dan total semua kita ada 14 orang berkumpul bersama.
Paskah bagi masing-masing dari kita tentu mempunyai arti yang spesial, tetapi tentunya ada satu arti utama dari Paskah itu bagi seluruh umat manusia, yaitu Paskah adalah awal dari dimulainya Kristianiti di dunia ini. Dimana umat manusia diteguhkan imannya oleh kebangkitan Yesus Kristus.
Semua yang tertulis dalam kitab suci terbukti sudah, di mana pada hari ke-3 Putra Tunggal Allah akan bangkit kembali dan kebangkitannya inilah yang menjadi awal dari iman kita, bahwa Allah itu benar adanya dan Yesus adalah Putra Tunggal Allah yang datang ke dunia untuk menyelamatkan seluruh umat manusia. Bacaan tentang sharing ini diambil dari 1 Korintus 15:1-23.

Walaupun ada beberapa perbedaan didalam kitab suci tentang siapakah yang pertama ditemui oleh Yesus dan bagaimanakah proses kebangkitannya, tetapi seperti yang Romo Wawan sampaikan, bahwa itu semua tidaklah penting. Yang penting bagi kita adalah Yesus benar telah bangkit kembali. Dan sejak itu, semua murid-muridnya dipenuhi oleh Roh Kudus untuk memberitakan tentang kerajaan Allah dan orang-orang yang percaya kepada-Nya dianugerahi rahmat yang sangat amat berlimpah.

Setelah sharing oleh Romo Wawan, beberapa dari kita juga turut ambil bagian dalam sharing bagaimana Tuhan telah bekerja didalam hidup kita dan tak terkecuali keajaiban-keajaiban yang telah Ia buat untuk kita.
[Hayo, rugi yang tidak datang pada PD kali ini! hehe..]

Sebelum kita menutup dengan menyanyikan lagu Pujian, kita juga berdoa Rosario bersama berkaitan dengan bulan Mei ini adalah Bulan Bunda Maria.

Tuhan memberkati.

Everlasting Love

Yeap, the skit that we did is called Everlasting Love. [We changed the title].

Everything went well. In fact, many people were touched by it. Praise God!
Some said they almost cried, even the Lao Shi said they wanted to cry but they we're still at work, so.. hehe..
I keep on asking the people whom I met after the event whether or not they get the message / understand the things that we were doing, and they said they do. Thanks to the Power Point, too! =) Because we put some pictures (just for additional effect purpose) and some wordings, too on it (both English and Chinese).

And we.. won! xoxo. We get the Best Costume Award - NT 2000 minus the tax.
And the prize will go for Charity. We're going to give it to the victims of Human Traffic.. HT means that those workers who initially came to work legally, but they are bullied by some irresponsible agents or even their own friends. So now, they're basically in prison. Can you imagine that? Ta men hen ke lian.. T_T Although this amount is not so much compared to the price of the airticket for them to go home, but at least, it does contribute something to help them..

Not to forget I wanna thank you, yes you, for your prayer =)

I managed to get the video of the skit, it's been uploaded in Youtube by one of the teachers.
Here it is..


God bless.

French course

Some of my coursemates.
Many didn't turn up since it was the last day of class and it was just checking our exam papers.

I've finished my French course in Shida [Taiwan National Normal University] last Friday.
I am happy in the sense that I'll have more 'free time' to rest or even travel around Taipei, since I am now counting down my days being in Taiwan.. a month left.

The exam's result was not bad. I didn't expect a lot this time due to my peak schedule that I didn't study as much as how I should.. -_-".

About the course, la professeur est Française. My classmates are all Taiwanese! I am the only Indonesian [foreign student]. I hardly communicate with them though, due to language barrier! French is so poor, neither my Chinese. O well. But they're still nice people to be with! ^^, And it was also an experience for me..

Variety Show

Tomorrow is D-Day!
My friends and I will be performing our skit ("My Everything"). There are 7 of us, plus another friend who helps us with the Power Point. Thanks Ester! =)

Practice went well today. In fact, it's been a wonderful time spent with them throughout all the practices. I am amazed how some of them who in the beginning were not showing so much interest in this, but now, they're so excited about it! Praise God!

ANd not only this skit that some of us are having tomorrow, but we're also joining the Choir team! We're going to sing Praise and Worship songs: Through it all, Above all, and My Redeemer lives. If you wonder how is it like, just click on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDU8NyJaaPA&feature=channel

Please keep us in your prayer yah! All this we do to glorify Him, and as for the skit, we really hope to reach out others. We hope the message will easily be understood.

For me, I've learned so much throughout this all.. the planning, gathering people, practices, preparations, and so much more..

God bless,

Oh la la! [Say it in French accent! - U la la!]

Half of my day today was really gray [aka. Kelabu]..
.. I was not done with the teaching plan. There was one book I forgot to take home and thus, I couldn't prepare the materials for one of the classes.. Was stressed out and decided to go to Olive [place where I work in] to take the book and to prepare. BUT, it was not open at that time, so I had to come back to Fu da with nothing. At first, I thought of going home first (it was 11AM by the way) to take a very short-nap. Better than nothing, since my both physical and mind were not in a good mood. A short nap because at 12PM there was a Rehearsal for next week's performance.

But when the bus stopped at Fu da, I don't know why I stood up and got out of the bus. I think I felt fresher at that very moment after a few minutes of sleeping in the bus. Cool huh?! =P So, I decided to get myself a coffee (something which I prefer not to take - only during Emergency cases). I went to Easy Way with the thought of ordering the drink from an English menu. Yet, in fact there wasn't any, so instead, I ordered Green Tea as usual. "Buy safe". It works! It made me feel much better. And I went to the Computer Lab to do another lesson plan.

At 12 noon, I left the Lab for the Rehearsal. This time, I was still nervous and so much stressed within.. I prayed and prayed, asked God to give me the peace that I need. [There were 2 performances for me to rehearse]. But this wasn't so much of the reasons for my worries. It was more about the Lesson Plan that I had not finished..

But Praise God, Rehearsal went pretty well, although it wasn't something I expected, but it was alright.

At about 3++ PM we finished and left. I went to have my 'quick-late lunch'. I had 2 dumplings, a bao, and a Soya Milk (was it a lot, you think? =P).
Then went to print the teaching materials and après ça, I met a friend of mine who indeed contributed in making my day less stressful today. Thanks for that! Though you may not realise about it =)

At 3.45PM I reached the Teaching Centre and did the part that I had not done.

To make it short (I am really sleepy right now and kinda exhausted for the past few weeks, well, after the weekend, it should now be "For the Past Few Days"), I thank God for making everything went well. Day by day I learn to trust in Him more and more, for He is know what is best for me.

"Thank You Lord for bringing those beautiful faces to make my day brighter. ^^,"

Bonne nuit!
God bless!
