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!

Joyeux Anniversaire, Papa!

Special for daddy

Not to forget, another Happy Birthday wishes go to my friend who's also celebrating his bday today. Happy Blessed Birthday Aaron! ^^,

Go and tell the world

"It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.."
(Acts 4:20)

Now Peter and John couldn’t even contain themselves. They just had to speak, as if they would burst if they didn’t. They had to share the message that had so transformed their lives. Not only had they walked with Jesus, the Holy Spirit had come to live in their hearts. And not only that, they knew this gift was meant not just for them but for everyone.

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature”
(Mark 16:15)

God is ready to fill us with his Spirit and give us the zeal to share his life with others. He wants to give us the boldness to tell people about our hope in Jesus. He wants to help us share the gift of his salvation with our families, co-workers, neighbors, and even complete strangers. Let’s remember that Jesus, alive in our hearts, is overflowing with love for each person we meet..

Romans 10:14

"...And how could they know if they have not heard.
And how could they hear unless someone told them."
(Romans 10:14)

Easter Celebration

Overall, the event went well.
Though it was light raining and thus, we all - the forty of us - had to stay in the room (which made it quite crowded), everything was going alright. Praise God! Although some came without registration before, which at first made us quite surprised, because we didn't prepare so much. But in the end, still, everything was enough! PTL!

Started with singing songs and followed by a short talk by Fr. Luigi [from Italy]. Thanks to Huang Lao shi too for translating it into Chinese, for the Chinese speaking students.
Also, to Fr. Pras who led us in prayer before the lunch.

The lunch box that we ordered was just enough. Exactly enough! Praise God! We ordered 42 lunch boxes by the way. hehe.
Thanks also goes to Fr. Paskal and Damas(c)us. Fr. Paskal for coming and bringing the tart cake made by Damas(c)us. We saved money, yeay!

Next was the game session. It didn't turn up as how it was expected to be (one is because of the rain) but it still was going well. Thanks to Alix and BK for the ideas and leading the session. =) [I am really happy to see them excited when preparing the game:P]

After the game, it was singing songs again. This time we sang "With Christ in the Vessel". It was so enjoyable and funny! One was because there was action for the song and another was because there were parts of the song that were not to be sung, but the guys and the girls had to replace it with another words, like.. Guys: "huu.." ; Girls: "hey.." It was really funny! Thanks to Adalene for leading the song. =) The people were also supportive ^^,. They weren't so shy as how Asian usually are =P

The money collected today is not bad, too. By God's grace, although we still need to cover some costs, but it is not as much as what we may have imagined before. [He will make away, when there seems to be no way..].

Besides, we were also 'celebrating' those whose birthdays are in March and April. There is quite a number of them. =)

Not to forget, a BIG thank goes to Sr. Valentine for willingly lent us the Sister's place and helping us from planning, preparing til the event itself.

I hope the message of this Easter could reach everyone of them and they will open their hearts to Christ.

God bless,
