Snacking ;)

It has been years for me not to eat any snacks. This evening I had my snack time with "Lemonia Cookies" :p

Hm..it's yummy! I used to buy and eat the snacks with my one and only sister. It was years ago in our boarding house.
Now, I am having it with Daniel - my beloved hubby ;)

My puppy died

Yesterday night as Daniel drove to car in the garage, the puppy was somehow walking under the wheel. Accidently, "kelindes"!!!
I tried to take her into my embrace, but the bones were all broken. Her body turned into 2 parts :p

Hiks..hiks... We were so sad tonight! It was an accident right before we went to bad.

Boy! I miss Boston!

I don't know what trigger me to feel this way! But BOY! I miss Boston!
Suddenly I could feel my heart beat really fast thinking of Boston! ;)
It's kinda funny, huh! When I was in the United States, I also missed Salatiga - our memorable place - and everything in it.
I missed the food. Just mention it! "Bakmi Tek-tek, Pecel Madya, Mpek-mpek depan gereja Katholik St. Miki, etc." I missed the city as well as the people. Having my family close to me was a something special. It is still a something special to me now.

Now, it's fall there. I miss enjoying the falling leaves. I miss looking at different colors of leaves while waiting for my bus, walking to my campus or while I was on the bus.
It is cool there, but I miss walking hand-in-hand with my husband in the cold weather, to a Malay restaurant in Allston for a bowl of hot and sour soup - my hubby's fav.

I also miss playing around with the snow. I haven't had a chance to make my own snow angel (I wish I could do that!). I also missed seeing the snow falling down on my head, touching the wonderfully white snow, and walking outside in my red winter coat that I love best.
I hate the storm though. Koko still had to go to work though it was storming. I hate thinking about the fact that he had to walk for 10 minutes or so from the bus stop to his office in those stormy days.

It's kinda funny but I miss the Sunday School kids! I miss their smiles. I miss their hugs. They used to remind me of my nieces and my nephew.
Now, the only day I could meet my nieces is Sunday for an hour or so. It's hardly a case to meet my nephew - he is in Jakarta.
Seeing his face from the webcam has been a very reliefing experience.

Boy.... thinking about them makes me cry. Tears are falling from my eyes. An employee was passing by Koko's office and taking a peek of what I did - wiping my tears at the corners of my eyes.
OK! I'd better stop now ;)

A day of surprises!

Yes! I know you are raising your eyebrows reading my blog.
Yesterday the mouse trap got its victim! a flithy big black mouse!!!! Being trapped, the mouse pissed and snapped in the trap. It was so disgusting, I should say.
Zak told Daniel on skype and we weren't able to picture that 'till today we finally saw the dirty floor.

I couldn't stand with the flithy floor so I ended up cleaning the floor. I swept Daniel's office. Then, I got another surprise, a diet coke was "exploded" in the fridge. O boy! the fridge was so dirty that I finally took a few pieces of wet tissues and started to clean the fridge.
Whew.. it was so disgusting!

Thanks GOD! Finally at noon, the cleaning lady showed up. I asked her to start coming in to office everyday instead of once every two days. She agreed with a raise.
That's fine! We can still afford that!
I left for campus around 1 p.m. on "angkota" public transportation. As soon as I arrived on campus, I mailed the documents for import license. I then went to "Lippo Bank" to transfer payment. Unfortunately, I forgot the amount of money, I then called Daniel on his cell asking his favor to check the number.
Not only I transfered payment to INTEC, I also had a chance to change small amount of money from the bank. It is intended for tipping. Zak needs it eventually.

After that, I walked along the path to F building..to my office... checking my empty box, then calling the computer lab to book for my "Writing 4" class that was a horrible thing last Friday.
Today I was feeling no burden. A test for "Reading 3" class, which means no preparation...but a waiting correction soon! hehehe :)
A student came late because he thought the class was on the green grass like last week. Poor him! At first I was thinking to give me extra time but he finally finished the test on time, so I put off my intention.

I went back to Daniel's office and there my lunch was waiting! Well..it was not really appropriate "lunch time" actually. It was 4.30 p.m. You tell me...is it lunch?? hehehe...

Oh..I almost forget...today as I was in the angkota from campus, there was a patrol. The angkota's driver suddenly took a U-turn in the middle of the road avoiding the police officers. O boy! Everyone in the angkota was shocked!
The angkota violated the route and the traffic regulations! As a consequence, I had to walk at the back of "Taman Sari" Square. It was an OK walk though; not too far.

Writing 4 conference

This afternoon after my TFEC class, I hurried to go Daniel's office to get hooked to the internet connection to do my "Writing 4 conference class".
Some students are already online before the agreed time at 1.30 p.m.

Haven't had my lunch, I was kinda starving. I tried to eat but it didn't work out well. Some students kept bugging me with the questions of when to start the class, how to set the conference, why no one invite them, etc.
I was stressed out!!!

I thought my students knew how to do the conference, but my mistake! It was an absolute mistake!!! About half of the students are unfamiliar about it, not to mention, some other unpredictable "X" factors such as different version of yahoo, off lights, etc.

So I finally ended up to schedule another meeting with the students next week. Hopefully I can book the computer lab.

Kinda sleepy today!

Hehehe...'coz last night I stayed awake till midnite (hehehe), this morning I am kinda sleepy.
The alarm was turned off my Koko and both of us went to sleep again!
We woke up around 7.30. Immediately, we held hands and prayed together then read the Bible.

Koko also sent an sms to one of his employees saying that he would be late today. We left home around 8.30 a.m.
I left our bedroom open so that our helper (Mbak Nur) would be able to clean the room.
Thanks GOD! We finally get a help from Mbak Nur.
She is willing to help us cleaning the house.

This morning, I would like to also feed the dogs before leaving home. It seems that, however, Koh Han had fed them.

Koko drove me to campus. I checked my box and got lots of handouts for Reading 3!!
Whew... 'coz the other day I was ill, I cancelled Reading 3 class on Monday, so next week I have to teach two subjects in one meeting!
Wish me luck!!!

In addition to the handouts, there is a big envelope of IC test for today at 9. I went down with FK and took the keys of the classrooms in the "security counter".
The students had been waiting in front of the room sitting on the floor.

As I opened the door, all students tried to get their favorite seats.

I explained the rules of the test and asked them to sit on every other chair. (I also organized the chairs...lifting the chairs up, literally) hehehe...
The students were so quiet! hehehe..good...good..good!!!!

I also had some time to read a Reading 3 handout too.

After finishing up all my teaching duties, I went by angkuta to Koko's office. Before that, I bought 2 donuts (sprinkle and cheese) for me and Koko.
Apparently, as I arrived Koko was starving so the donut came on time! (hehehe...)

Good news!!! The legal incorporation from the department of law has just arrived, so together with Koko, we went to the lawyer office and took the certificate.
We copied the documents and called Pak Mantri to help us with the administration, that is legalization of the documents.

Thanks GOD! You are AMAZINGLY GOOD!!!

AHA! Not yet the end of God's goodness in our lives!
Got a call from Koh Hendro around 5 saying that the truck will leave for Semarang tonight and arrive in Semarang around 9 in the morning, then to Salatiga!!!
Thanks GOD!

The telephone rang while we were asleep

I'm kinda sleepy today.

Last night Ko Dani and Me had slept soundly around 9 p.m. Suddenly, around 10 p.m., the telephone rang.
First of all, it was our home phone. It rang for about 1 minute or so, but no one answered the phone. Finally a second later, my cell phone rang. I didn't answer the phone, Koko did. Apparently it was Jeremy on the phone.

It was kinda late. Jeremy said that it would be just a 15-minute short discussion on the phone. Unfortunately, it ended up to be a 2-hour phone and skype conversation.
At first, I was forcing myself to stay sleeping regardless of the conversation Koko and Jeremy had.
But NO!!! That didn't work out that well. I just couldn't sleep! so I woke up and listened attentively to the discussion too.

Once in a while, I took note of important decisions, follow-ups, and plans Formulatrix Indonesia had to take into consideration in the near future!

Whew.... finally the conversation was ended. but HEY!!!!
I couldn't sleep anymore! I stayed awake. Finally I responded to some emails that night around 12 midnight! hehehee...
Then Koko sort of complaint saying that I shouldn't stay awake! I should go to bed!
So I went to bed (again!)

Before we went to bed, we prayed to the LORD...giving thanks...and proclaiming our faith in HIM that He will do miraculous things abundantly in our lives!

Koko flew to Surabaya

Yeah right!
Early in the morning at 6.30, Koko was picked up by Ko Deby (our in-law) to Semarang.
Well.. Ko Deby works in Semarang, so everyday he has to drive to Semarang.

Whew...cann't imagine living that kind of life! Thanks GOD! Koko opens his business in Salatiga! ^_^ Thank YOU, Lord!

Anyway, last night before I went to bed, I had prepared the shirt for Koko to wear today. Therefore, I didn't have to wake up early to set the clothes.
Good thing is I have also prepared the gifts to the Harford representative in Surabaya, so Koko shouldn't worry about anything early in the morning (or even bother my sleep)
:p hihihi...just kidding!

Before he left home, he gave me a sweet kiss on my lip and whispered me "I love you!"
Wow...I love today!

I woke up and I prayed. I thanked God that He has been faithful to us, to our lives, to everything that we have, love, and care. God is always good!!!!

I was curious to check my late period. I opened the test pack that I bought the other day. I thought I was so worried that I forgot to (Again!!!!) follow the instruction really well. To cut the story short.... there was no result coming out!!
O boy!!!!

I haven't told Koko about this.. I'll wait till he's back home tonight.

Talking about my day... I went to campus today by "angkota" (a public transportation). I sat by a little girl. Since the time I got on the angkota, she was looking at me attentively. As I looked back at her, she looked to other directions!
O well... it was kind of ridiculous.

Anyway, I met Bu Mul in the administration office. I greeted her and we chatted for a while. She would like to do a research with me about Bilingualism. I am really looking forward for it!!
She is one of my favorite lecturers! and I love working with her! (I learn some flexibility from her too....instead of over-structured)

During our lunch break, we went for lunch together. There were 7 of us! We ate at "Bakmi Bandung".
After spending an hour or so back in our offices, we decided to go home! (no better place like home, right?). Fenny drove me and AK. Thanks FK!

I spent for about an hour reviewing the financial record of Formulatrix Indonesia, including updating the spreadsheets. Then, I watered the flowers.
It was fun! For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying my new routine of watering the plants.

Very well..it's already 4.40p.m., I guess it would be better for me to take a shower before Koko gets home.

Salatiga.....

We're now in Salatiga already....busy doing so many things since our arrival.

Me- as usual, can't stand with dust. I ended up catching a light soar throat as well as Koko. Of course, I don't want to keep this forever, three days ago, bravely I did dusting, sweeping, and moping the floor, not to forget, wiping the windows.

I feel better now. Our home is cleaner now.
I can't however iron the clothes for a while since the ironning room is so filthy.
I attempted to find a helper to clean the house for the next few weeks or so.
Yesterday I found one. She used to work for my sister-in-law for quite so long.
As scheduled, she would come to work from 7-9.30 a.m. Well...it is quite challenging for me to wake up at 7 now.

Since we were in Salatiga for the last 5 days, I woke up late. 7 o'clock for me now is too early.
Like this morning, I woke up at 9. (Well..probably because last night again, I got a headache - got a medicine - slept soundly) realizing that it was late. Hurriedly, I checked the front gate looking for our new helper who was already here yesterday.
Unfortunately, she wasn't there. I bet she had been waiting for such a long time and decided to leave at last.

Well..this is a lesson for me to wake up earlier next time.
I don't want to disappoint someone else. I need to force myself to wake up earlier.
There is nothing wrong of being awake early in the morning. I can do more things as I get more time to do them all.

Koko, on the other hand, is now busy preparing all stuff needed to open the Formulatrix Indonesia..starting from meeting the lawyer regarding the legal documents for establishing a new company in Indonesia, searching for location, looking for and recruiting employees, opening a bank account, etc.
Sometime, I will come with him being a good secretary (for a while) as well as a wonderful wife, helping him to organize his today's schedule.

Wherever I go now, my faithful green organizer is with me.
(Inside the organizer, I still have my cute bookmark with the pic of me and my first lovely niece - Jeje, in Koko's bedroom when we were dating).

I enjoy the warmth of love of my nephew (from my side) and two nieces (from Koko's side).
When I was in Jakarta, more than any other experiences I had, I enjoyed being with my nephew - Samuel Bryant Handoko. He acted so cute, pure, a little bit "naughty" being a boy, but polite.
He asked me and Koko to come with him showing his toys upstairs. He held our hands (both Koko and me) gently. There he picked a box of toys and told me his stocks. He suddenly would like to show us a different toy, what he did was amazing.
He collected all the former toys, put them in the box, closed the box carefully, and returned the box in the shelf. "What a boy!"
His mom used to call him, "Boy" because he was the only boy in the extended family- the only grandson for both sides (mom and dad).

My nieces (from Koko's side) are as charming as my nephew.
As we arrived in Salatiga, (my mom and my brother together with his girlfriend picked us up at the airport in Semarang), we took a bath and ate out at "Beringin" restaurant - the best Chinese Restaurant in Salatiga.
Together with my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my father-in-law (from Koko's side) in addition to from my side, our nieces were there - Jeje and Iva.
They gave me lots of hugs and told me lots of stories they had been longing to share. I showered them with hugs and kisses 'coz as I missed my nephew, I also missed my nieces.
I brought them books in English. (well..this is the result of having an auntie who is an English teacher) hahaha :)

Strangely, Iva refused to be with Koko but me. (Well...I thought because Koko is the inside uncle, she would get attached to him easily, but I was wrong)
But hey..... Samuel got closer to Koko easily...so....no regret!!!!

Father's Day

Whew...Mey rasane bete abis...

Hari ini udah hari Jumat (I don't even realize that today is Friday already! 'till I accidentally look up to the calendar)...dan belum ada keputusan pasti besok hari Minggu mau ngapain buat Father's Day.

Kita (Angel and I) baru dikasih tau kalo kita mesti take responsibility over the Father's Day event.
For me personally, it was a shock! (Ternyata Angel juga kaget banget begitu baca email hari Selasa).
O well..and then after brainstorming ideas...(Thanks to Christy for her brilliant idea)...eh..something happened.... and so on and so forth...
Finally..up to now...we haven't reached the final decision mau ngapain...

Anyway, ini habis ngobrol ma Angel lewat chatting..
We think...it would be better to just eliminate the sand idea :p

Thanks GOD! At least my husband is not a late-minute person...jadi kagak stress tiap hari! hihihi :p

Whew..akhirnya dapet juga tanda tangan buat yang final report dikirim ke NY.
Mey hari ini ke kampus pagi-pagi..ternyata Joan Dee (associate dean) lagi ada meeting, jadi mesti balik lagi ke kampus sorean.

Mey tu pagi-pagi udah makan, tapi ndak tau kenapa..tiba2 pusing lagi!!
Well...mungkin kepanasan sih..hari ini keluar rumah kagak pake topi, padahal kan kalo lagi panas gini, kepala Mey kagak bisa kena panas langsung bisa pusing!!
Well..akhirnya pulang dr kampus, mampir dulu ke 88 dan shaw's..ceritanya lagi survery harga barang2 yang mau dibawa ke Indo gitu!! hehehe

"Encender" girls together at Arirang buffet

"Adek" (aka Lely) kagak bisa dateng ke gereja hari ini karena lagi "dapet" (PMS)
gitu deh..
akhirnya kita ber3 (Mey, Angel ma KaTi) sepakat mau tengokin si Adek..sambil ajakin makan siang ke Arirang! (kan kalo makan di Arirang tu happy banget!)
Trus begitu sampe ke EF, naik tangga ke kamar...ternyata Adek masih tidur...

Ety bangunin Lely, tapi Lely malah "ngelantur"..
pas sadar..langsung malu..karena liat ada Mey ma Angel di kamar (Angel waktu itu lagi telpon ma her mom..tapi kan tetep aja keliatan juga!)
hehehe :p

Trus akhirnya kita kasih tau...mau ikutan ke Arirang ndak???
hehehe....(tentu saja seperti yang kita duga!) MAU!!!!
Akhirnya siap2 deh..trus kita berangkat sama-sama..
Eh..ternyata kita kagak dapet2 tempat parkir....(setelah perjuangan mengingat2 jalan ke Arirang! hehehehe)
muter-muter selama more or less 20 menitan kali....trus akhirnya dapet juga tempat parkir (uhm..lumayan jauh juga sih...but it's OK)

Kita malah akhirnya CAREcell di Arirang..ngobrol selama 3 jam-an..
Mey suka sushi-nya, Fish cakenya enak!!!! trus sup-nya kaya sayur asem (it reminds me of mom's cooking) anyway...it's OK... coming home soon!!!

Koko baru pulang jam 10an.. Mey udah ngantuk banget...tapi kagak isa bobok...
Ternyata Mey tu belum makan sore/ malem...hari ini cuma makan sekali ...ya buffet itu!
Trus akhirnya masak mie buat Mey ma Koko (karena Koko juga ternyata mau!) hehehe
You know what????? Lagi asyik-asyik masak, ternyata lewat tikus!!!!!!!!!
Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Mey langsung lari ke kamar, naik ranjang..trus ngomong ma Koko... minta ditemenin di living room sambil Mey masak di kitchen!
(jaile..sok banget...wong living room ma kitchen kagak terpisah kok) :p

Jadine besok Mey mesti beli mouse trap jadi Koko bisa pasang perangkapnya buat tikus jelek!!! ih...kok bisa masuk?? jangan2 lewat lubang air apa yach????
udah ah..kagak mau dibahas..jadi jijik!
Yang penting sekarang kamar ndak pernah ndak ditutup pintunya! buat pelajaran!

Koko kerja di hari Minggu??? yeah..right!

Iya..berhubung kerjaan di kantor belum kelar, akhirnya hari ini Koko dan temen2 satu team mesti kerja deh..
Berhubung mesti sampe ke kantor jam 1 siang, akhirnya tengah2 khotbahnya Pastor jam 12, Koko "minggat" dulu dari Sunday Service.

Tadi pagi kita juga berangkat sendiri-sendiri, trus waktu Mey nungguin bus di sebrang rumah!
Alamak!!! ternyata baru setelah nunggu 30 menit baru dapet bus!!!
Bingung...sampe telpon Angel 2 kali karena takut kalo ntar Angel sendirian!
Eh..ternyata waktu nyampe gereja, Angel juga lagi nyampe!!! arggghh...trus kita mesti cepet2 siap2in semua..
dan ternyata kagak ada table cloth buat meja perjamuan..akhirnya mejanya "naked" deh!
Duh..jadi gimana gitu rasane!!!

Anyway...akhirnya kelar gereja, ngobrol ama Kak Lita, Angel bakal didaulat untuk beli taplak meja... uhhh...lega deh!!
Well..lagi inget nih kalo mesti siap2 alih ke CAREcell nih tugasnya Mey ma Angel (kan kasihan kalo Angel sendirian)
Selama ini sih yang udah Mey "prospect" si Jasmine ^_^

O iya.. wanna take a moment to pray for Jasmine... I know it has been tough for such a young lady like her to "survive" living in the U.S.
She works really hard to self-fund her life and her study.

At 1 a.m Koko was in the bed with me

Baru jam 1 pagi, Koko pulang sampe rumah.
Mey bangun waktu Koko naik ke ranjang. I asked him what time it was. He said it was 1 a.m.
I kissed him and we slept again.

Jam 8 (biasanya kan jam 7) Koko bangun trus siap-siap. Ternyata kemarin malem begitu nyampe rumah, Koko langsung mandi dulu sebelum tidur.
(well..memang panas banget sih kemarin! 20an derajat!)

Buat kita sekarang, suhu segitu tuh panas banget!
Kagak tau ntar kalo udah sampe Indo, suhu 30an kaya apa tuh?? Oh no!!!!!!

Koko hari ini mungkin bakal lembur lagi...jadinya Koko baru berangkat jam 9an deh.
tapi sebelumnya Koko nulis email ke Jeremy, kasih tau kalo Koko bakal telat ke kantornya karena butuh istirahat karena kemarin pulang malem banget! (eh pagi ding!)

Mey hari ini muntah lagi nih!
Rencana hari ini mau keliling kampus, jadi rada ragu deh!!!
Anyway, I'll try to figure out what can I do today.

Packing up & my diploma

(whew.....) lama juga ternyata udah kagak nulis something disini..
Kangen juga mengekspressikan perasaan disini sekalian share ma yang baca...hehehe

Berhubung udah 2 hari Mey kagak dapet dos dari Shaw's karena katanya sih kesiangan datangnya!!! (O ya???)
Jadinya hari ini Mey bangun jam 7 kurang, trus sekalian masak nasi, sikatan, cuci muka, dll..trus berangkat ke Shaw's..cari dos...
Ternyata Mey dapet 2 dos besar! jadi hari ini bisa mulai packing.

Begitu nyampe rumah, Mey langsung nyalain kompor trus masak ayam ma tahu kalasan yang kemarin bikin! biar fresh...jadi Koko bisa bawa ke kantor buat bekal makan siang!
Uh..berat juga tu ternyata..Mey sampe kagak isa angkat dosnya loh! berat abis!!!

Anyway, trus Mey akhirnya lanjut dengan dos yang satunya lagi..diisi dan diisi..
sekarang lumayan..meja dan lemari yang biasa isine buku2 dan bahan2 kuliah Mey..sekarang udah mulai berkurang.
Mey taruh barang2 yang dibutuhin dengan segera, ntar dimasukin di carry-on aja..
jadi biar bisa dibuka sewaktu2..
I won't be able to access my journals and books for at least 2 months...nungguin sampe buku2 nyampe ke Indo!! hiks..hiks...
I'm gonna miss reading good books and journals in Indo! hiks..hiks...

Hari ini sih basically Mey dirumah aja..lagipula kan ada makanan dirumah jadi ngapain pergi keluar dan beli makan?? buang2 tenaga lah!!!

Malem Koko telpon kalo bakal lembur lagi..tp ndak tau bakal pulang jam berapa.
Hopefully ndak malam2 banget deh!
Jadine sambil nunggu Koko, Mey nonton VCDnya Ety-Lely...trus lanjut nonton "So you think you can dance"..tp jelek ah!!!
Trus jam 11an, Mey lagi sadar kalo Koko tu belum pulang..

Ternyata jam 12an malem, Koko telpon kasih tau kalo Koko bakal pulang..tp naik bus!!
Hah?? sampe dirumah jam berapa tuh??
Mey minta Koko naik taxi aja..tp ternyata Koko lagi kagak bawa uang cash, jd kagak bisa naik taxi dong..trus ntar bayar pake apa coba????
anyway...that's basically what I do today!

It has been a saddening experience though. I called Konsulat Indonesia di NY. Untuk kesekian kalinya akhirnya dapet juga ngomong ma orang langsung setelah beberapa kali coba...yang nerima answering machine lah..or kagak ketemu orangnya..
Dikasih tau kalo mesti lapor diri dan juga bayar $20 untuk dapet surat keterangan membawa barang ke Indonesia.
Trus sekalian legalisasi ijazah...

Trus pas Esti lagi online Mey kasih tau kalo mestinya kemarin ijazah ditinggalin dulu soalnya kan mendingan isa dikirim dulu, jadi ndak nunggu2 (Mey kan kagak bisa kalo nunda2 kerjaan begitu! rasane pengin sekalian diselesaiin)
lagipula kan kalo kirim sekalian kan berarti ngirit juga ongkos kirim dan juga kagak takut kalo barang2 pisah2 gitu...
Anyway...ternyata hal itu bikin Esti mangkel..(Esti lagi berduka cita karena ayahnya meninggal dunia).
Well...I didn't ask her to return the diploma at that time, I just say, "I wish we could have done that!" (How do I know that I will be like this? How do I know that I need those documents too??? wong Mey juga lagi bisa telpon dan ketemu orangnya hari ini..beberapa hari yang lalu..kagak ada yg respon telpon!!)

Mey juga sih (kalo mau marah sih ya pengin tapi I just don't want to do that! I just should not get angry! Not only will I hurt God for being angry, I will also hurt my friend)... so I ended up say "sorry to her" and I told myself to "set aside my thought" 'coz her being home is more important than my own thought.

At one point though I am glad that God allows this argument between us! (Besi menajamkan besi, manusia juga!) If we are not friends, it does nothing to us! but since we are friends, it may either strengthen our relationship or ruin it!
I hope it will strengthen our relationship (hope so)
At least, I have said "sorry". I apologized to her. Whether she would forgive me or not, it was no longer my problem. She deals it with God.

Got another A

Thanks GOD! I got another A for my other courses.
I pray Lord that this semester I could get an excellent grade "A" for all my courses.
I pray (if You allow me, of course), I want to graduate within the highest top rank "Summa Cum Laude".
This is not only be a living offering to You but also a present for my dad, especially because he isn't able to attend my graduation. At least from the diploma, he could be proud of his beloved daughter.

Lord, Thanks! You have been faithful and good to me and my family. I do believe that You will always be faithful 'till the end!

Lord, this morning I pray that You work in us even more Lord.
Show us Your hearts to us and force Your will in our lives that we may live under the canopy of Your love.

Koko berangkat rada siangan hari ini. Ternyata setelah turun kebawah, Koko ketinggalan busnya. Trus kita ngobrol bentar. Akhirnya Mey bilang ma Koko kalo mau sembayang, jadi Koko tutup telponnya.
Maklum jadwal "kencan" Mey ma Tuhan Yesus kan setelah Koko berangkat kantor, jadi tinggal berdua doang ^_^

Tadi pagi sebelum Koko berangkat kantor, Koko kasih tau kalo Jeremy sampe ber"sumpah serapah" karena AMINEF Jakarta mengharuskan kita pulang.
Trus Pak Piet juga menyarankan supaya Mey kontak langsung ma Varinia Grannum aja selaku representative disini... Varinia sekarang lagi out of office, jadi kagak bisa dihubungi. Kira2 kapan yach? bisa kontak lagi? Semoga ndak terlalu lama deh! :)
Anyway, kita berdua serahin semua ma Tuhan lah ^_^ God is good, indeed!

GOD is GOOD all the time! and His goodness endures forever! (That's for sure!)

I got an A

This morning, Mey beres2 sambil kasih label buat suvenirnya :p jadi biar kalo bagi2 bisa lebih gampang karena udah ada namanya :)
Trus habis itu Mey laundry ke Harvard Ave. Bakal siap diambil hari Kamis sore :p
Wah pas Mama ma Cie Yau udah dateng tuh...
Mereka kan bakal dateng hari Kamis pagi jam 6.

Ada kejadian rada konyol sih hari ini.
Begitu Koko berangkat kantor, Mey sembayang..trus seperti biasa cek email, dan akhirnya Mey mutusin untuk telpon Mama..nanya tentang keputusan barang2 berharga di rumah yang perlu diamankan :p
Unfortunately, kagak tau kenapa...Mama kagak bisa denger suara Mey.
alhasil my third call was responded emotionally :p Mey rada ndak enak juga sih..bikin Mama keki (kan pasti Mama kirain ada yg isengin Mama)
ternyata beneran, waktu Mey kirim sms ke Cie Yau, Mama bales dan kasih tau kalo ternyata yang telpon Mey...dikirain orang iseng soale :(

Whew..udah diamanin ^_^ jadi tenang deh

Mey trus ke kampus nanyain tentang urusan bill di student account Mey.
ternyata itu buat medical insurance Mey.
Well.. Mey akhirnya email ke Varinia nanya tentang hal ini..ternyata beliau lagi out of office :p waduh gimana dong??
Ada tagihan sebesar $1,228.00 buat insurance...

Mey kelar itu ke kantor Margareth Sullivan (graduate officer). Mey cerita tentang keadaan kita berdua.
Tuhan emang baik banget... Tuhan ingetin lewat beliau kalo kita tu mesti mementingkan keluarga kita diatas kepentingan karir kita masing2.
God, You are so Good!! ^_^ we really love You!!!

Kelar tu Mey ke supermarket, Mey belanja. Ntar malem mau masak! Udah lama kagak pernah masakin Koko..kasihan deh! Berhubung sekarang Mey udah kagak ada kerjaan (well..ada juga sih yang mesti dikerjain..tp ndak lagi paper)

Mey bikin udang goreng tepung...berhubung masih ada sayap di kulkas..sekalian aja digoreng juga :p
Mey juga beli cantaloupe...mirip2 blewah gitu sih...trus Mey bikin es! Yummy!
kali ini dibikin es blewah biasa aja..kapan2 dibikin es campur ma nangka kesukaan Koko! ^_^

Kelar masak, Koko telpon bilang kalo bakal pulang malem, karena ternyata Koko lupa waktu...asyik bikin kerjaan...eh ternyata udah jam 8an.
Jadine pulang maleman deh :( hiks..hiks...

Iseng2 Mey cek nilai...Thanks GOD! Mey dapet A for my independent study! Thank you GOD!

Shopping

Hehehe.. Hampir 1 tahun, Mey ma Koko udah tinggal disini.
Selama itu juga, Mey selalu cuma beli barang2 yang Mey butuhin, not necessarily barang2 yang Mey pengin beli.
Mey selalu nanya ma diri Mey sendiri, "Do I need the thing or I just want it?"

I ended up not buying anything unless I really need it.
Well..I am not sorry for that. Koko knows that ^_^ That's why today as we went shopping, Koko malah encouraged Mey buat beli karena Koko tau kalo selama ini Mey selalu nahan diri.
It's good in such a way karena kalo emang Koko habis beli something, jadine Mey nahan diri. Kalo dua2nya suka beli2 kan bisa barabe!!!
Waktu Mama ma Cie Yau dateng, Mey juga seneng karena kita udah ada tabungan dan bisa dolan bareng ^_^
Kita berdua juga (karena kesibukan kita masing2), kita belum pernah dolan bareng. Jadi ini jadi kesempatan kita berdua untuk jalan2 juga ^_^ God is GOOD!
Thank you our Lord, Jesus Christ! You are the best!!!!

Kita makan pizza di Papa Gino's di Target karena Koko udah laper, Mey juga.
Trus kelar makan, kita mau ke restroom...ternyata restroom-nya lagi rusak! hiks..hiks..
ya udah kita pulang, nungguin bus yang ndak dateng2 ^_^
Still...asyik aja karena sambil nungguin bus, kita berdua ngobrol tentang the importance of reading storybooks to children.
Mey pengin beli buku2 buat anak2 kita, jadi mereka bisa sukses di academic performance ^_^ lately, Mey banyak baca buku2, jurnal2, and artikel2 tentang pentingnya bacain buku yang berkualitas buat anak2, karena itu sangat berpengaruh buat later success di sekolah :)
Tentu saja kalo Tuhan kasih kita anak2 Illahi, kita juga mau bertanggung jawab untuk serius mendidik mereka, kasih the best education (of course, semua sumbernya balik lagi ma Tuhan). Salah satunya ya dengan storybook reading itu tadi ^_^

Preparing for Sunday Service with Jasmine

Pagi ini Koko ma Mey bangun pagi jam 8an, rencana mau berangkat ke gereja barengan jam 8.30
Tp kelar mandi kita dapet telpon dr Tara, nanyain mau dijemput sekalian apa ndak?
Trus Koko bilang mau aja ^_^
Anyway...kayane waktunya ndak sempet kalo nungguin Mey, jadi Mey bilang ma Koko, "Koko berangkat duluan aja deh, Yayak ndak naik bus aja deh"

Mey udah turun kebawah, didepan pintu, Mey mikir...
Back waktu di Indo...ada kejadian tidak mengenakkan, jadi Mey decide untuk ganti kostum! Biar orang udah tinggal di Amerika, tp kalo mikirnya masih kaya di Indo..percuma dong...
Lagipula buat Mey, mendingan Mey juga jaga perasaan orang..ndak cuma pengin Mey.

Eh...begitu Mey decide naik keatas buat ganti, bus-nya lewat!
Well..it's ok! Mey turun lagi..nunggu bentar...
trus jam udah mendekatin jam 9an, Mey telpon Jasmine kasih tau kalo kemungkinan Mey bakal telat..ternyata begitu bus dateng, Jasmine di bus itu juga, so kita duduk sebelahan sambil ngobrol, dll...
Sampe di gereja, Mey nunjuk2in ke Jasmine apa2 aja yang mesti dikerjain, tempat nyimpen ini dan itu, dll...trus termasuk kasih checklist yang mesti dikerjain tiap minggu..
Ada data jemaat, namanya Thomas, yang belum kita dapetin. Jasmine semestinya mesti ambil datanya, tp waktu pulang gereja, Thomas buru2 pulang, jadi kagak sempet dapet datanya. Anyway, berhubung Thomas temennya Lidya, Jasmine bakal minta tolong Lidya untuk cari datanya ^_^ Thanks yach Jasmine!!

Nonton for almost half of the day

Kita hari ini sarapan di Anna (Harvard Ave)...rencana sih mau ke Dok Bua tapi ternyata masih tutup.
Akhirnya ke Anna deh. Wah..food server-nya rada ndak ramah :(
Trus Mey juga ndak habis makannya..trus Mey tinggalin karena gosong sih :p
Mey kan ndak suka gosong. Lagipula kagak dikasih sambalnya yang ijo itu..

Habis dari sono, kita berdua ke AMC-Fenway. Tapi ternyata masih tutup, jadi kita nunggu diluar gitu barengan ma orang2 yang lain.
Kita nonton dulu Akella and the bee (tentang spelling bee competition), Mey nangis waktu nonton.
Ceritanya asyik banget. Mengangkat issue kaum minoritas di US yang bisa berjaya ^_^
Trus kelar nonton yang satu ini, kita keluar bentar. Mey pengin ke kamar mandi, Koko beli nacho and drink buat dimakan sambil nonton MI3.
Rame disini!!! Beda banget ma yang tadi... Melo gitu deh :p

Movie-nya baru kelar kira2 jam 7an, trus Mey masih pengin makan Dok Bua, jadi kita ke Dok Bua deh..kita jalan dari T stop. Asyik juga karena ndak terlalu dingin sih
Trus kelar kita dapet tempat kita (setelah nunggu 20 menitan), kita makan..
Hehehe..makannya kagak habis trus akhirnya kita bungkus deh :)

What a happy day! Thanks GOD! Mey seneng banget isa enjoy weekend ma Koko ^_^

Sangobion

Hari ini rencana Mey mau mulai lagi bikin papernya. Karena kan besok hari Kamis bakal dikumpulin, tapi ternyata Mey kagak sempet bikin karena begitu bangun tidur Mey lemes banget.
Trus akhirnya kelar makan, Mey langsung minum sangobion biar tambah darah.
Mey langsung ke kamar trus tidur.
Bangun kira-kira jam 4.30an, Mey trus cari-cari info tentang perjalanan. Mey dapet info perjalanan 5 hari 4 malem ke east coast, berangkat hari Rabu trus pulang hari Minggu. Untuk 4 orang dapet kira-kira harganya $1000an.
Well not bad lah! Bisa jalan2 ke NY, Philly, DC, Hershey's chocolate factory, trus Niagara Falls.
Pertama sih Mey cuma mau ambil yg Niagara, tp begitu dapet yang ada tawaran itu, well...setelah discuss ma Koko akhirnya kita ambil yang itu deh!
Mey mulai set jadwalnya karena Mey kan mau bisa jalan2 ma Koko. Berhubung Koko cuti 1 minggu, jadi untuk acara jalan2 barengan ma Koko, mesti diatur biar Koko juga bisa ikutan! hehehe ^_^

Koko malem pulang kerja telpon Mey, nanya apa Mey udah beli bus pass. O!!! Ternyata Mey kagak sadar kalo hari ini tuh udah tanggal 1 Mei to? kirain masih April
Alhasil Koko mampir dulu ke Shaw's trus beli bus pass. Pulang2 ternyata Koko juga bawa pulang jeruk ma soda. Thanks sayang ^_^
karena emang Mey pengin soda. Biasalah kalo tiap bulan, kita mesti beli soda buat Mey (plus Koko tentu saja) hehehe ^_^
Uhm..hari ini Koko pulang kantor lemes banget. Trus begitu Mey tawarin mau dipijet? Hihihi... Koko langsung iya aja! :) waktu Mey chat ma Cie Yau trus bilang kalo lagi mau pijetin Koko, Cie Yau langsung bilang "mauuuuuuuuu"
huahaha :D uhm..lucu juga sih... ntar lagi ketemu! mesti heboh deh! :)

O iya hari ini juga Pastor telpon, nanyain apa kita butuh van gereja? kita sih ndak mikir kalo butuh van gereja. well...belum tau juga nih..tp kayane sih ndak butuh.
Bener ndak sih?? hehehe :p
Kelar Pastor telpon, Mey iseng-iseng cari ide buat Mother's Day. Trus dapet ide dr kidsdomain, tp ndak tau juga sih bisa dipake apa ndak?? tak serahin idenya ke Angel ma Christy karena pas Mother's Day kan pas Mey graduation, jd kagak bisa attend Sunday Service deh! :(
Anyway, it's gonna be a wonderful day! :)

It's a nice weather out there

Hari ini begitu bangun Mey rasane males banget. Kemarin malem kalo ndak salah sih sempet kasih tau ma Koko kalo Koko berangkat ke gereja duluan aja yach? Mey mau tiduran dulu.
Eh…ternyata begitu Koko bangun, Koko jadi “males” karena berangkat sendiri. Trus akhirnya Mey kasih tau kalo Mey ikutan berangkat pagi deh!
Karena kemarin malem belum sempet setrika baju Koko, Mey pagi2 setrika baju Koko dulu. Alhasil waktunya ndak cukup buat Mey siap2. Trus Mey kasih tau Koko berangkat aja dulu deh..daripada ntar Koko telat.
Koko akhirnya turun ke bawah duluan, Mey lanjutin siap2…trus Mey turun ke bawah..
Ternyata Koko masih di sebrang jalan nungguin bus. La pas Mey keluar..turun..nyebrang ke jalan, Mey langsung liat ada bus dateng, jadine kita berangkat barengan juga karena busnya juga baru dateng! :)
Brrrrr…rada dingin hari ini! Untung pake jaket yg tebel!:) Thanks GOD!

Mey hari ini sendirian. Kagak tau Angel kagak keliatan tuh. (Ternyata setelah Mey telpon malem ini, Angel cerita kalo ketiduran.) Well…Angel, we pray for you! Jangan kasih kesempatan buat iblis! Bangkit non! Bangkit!! ^_^
Pulang gereja, kita diundang makan ma PaMa Koh Indra & Cie Susan ke Aneka Rasa. Pertama sih kita rencana mau ngajakin Lely makan buffet, tapi berhubung kita diundang makan, kita juga bingung.. Lely diajak apa ndak ya? Mey ndak berani memutuskan karena kan bukan Mey yg ngundang. Alhasil Lucas anterin Lely pulang, trus Lucas nyusul ke Aneka Rasa juga barengan ma kita.
Ety ikutan ke Aneka Rasa karena kan Ety barengan ma Pastor ke NH, jadi mampir juga ke Aneka Rasa. Ety makan pete! Huahaha :D
Pulang dari gereja, Mey ke kamar mandi dan ternyata! Mimpi Mey ndak jadi kenyataan! Mey ndak pregnant! Koko sedih L waktu Mey kasih tau ternyata Mey kagak pregnant!
Anyway… kita tetep ngucap syukur kok! :D Tuhan kita tetep baeeeeeeeek banget :)

Kita hari ini jalan2 ke Boston Common. Enak! Seger banget rasane outdoor!

Trus kita pulang sampe rumah jam 7an…mampir ke Pizza di corner Comm. Ave, kita coba beli.
Trus malem, kita makan pizza deh! Hehehe ^_^ not bad lah!
Masih ada 5 slices. Karena ternyata baru makan satu, kita berdua udah kenyang.
Kita juga beli fries, tapi ternyata Koko pusing krn friesnya. Maklum Koko rada sensitive kalo masalah goreng2an. Minyak harus bersih dan ndak terlalu banyak terserap makanan. Karena kalo ndak…Koko bisa pusing2!!
Itu sebabnya kalo Mey goreng2, Mey selalu “tiriskan” lama banget..jadi biar minyaknya “keluar” dr makanannya! :p well…it’s been challenging.
Koko alhasil makan jeruk 2 buah biar menghilangkan rasa minyaknya! Poor Koko!
Anyway..setelah makan jeruk, Koko lumayan seger. Trus Koko main2 edit foto2 tadi di Boston Common. Mey nonton extreme homemaker, desperate housewives, ma grey’s anatomy. Hehehe :p
Ndak lama, Koko akhirnya nyusul nonton juga! ^_^ trus kita ketiduran!

Marblehead trip with Koko

Kemarin malem, Mey tidur di kamar ma Angel, sedangkan Koko tidur di sofa. Ternyata bangun pagi jam 9an, Koko ngerasa lehernya pegel-pegel.
Well..jadi pelajaran buat kita besok kalo pas Mama ma Cicik dateng. If it’s needed, cari ranjang lipet deh :p
Koko pindah ke kamar bentar, tidur2an sambil nonton TV. Mey nyiap2in sayur2an buat dibawa ke tempat Dorothy and Bob! J Kita berangkat kira-kira jam 11an. Trus begitu sampe di Government Center sebelum pindah ke Blue Line, kita beli Dunkin Donuts dulu…maklum laper amat! Trus setelah itu, kita berdua nunggu di Blue Line.
Begitu dapet, kita langsung ambil posisi karena kan kita berhenti di paling ujung – Wonderland!
Begitu sampe di Wonderland, Mey mencoba mengingat2…nomer busnya berapa yach? Krn too bad… I forgot to bring the notes! L Oh..dear!!!!
Anyway..Thanks GOD! Diingetin ma Tuhan nomer busnya, meski salah, tp setelah coba mengingat tempat bus stop, trus cek..ternyata instead of 411, busnya nomer 441. J
Kita nunggu di waiting room! Lumayan! Ada heaternya..jadi ndak kedinginan di luar!
Kagak tau kenapa nih…meski udah Spring, rasa2nya hari ini dingin banget! Well..ndak sedingin winter sih..tp tetep aja kalo ukuran Spring termasuk dingin! :p
Anyway, setelah nunggu kira2 20 menit, kita dapet busnya. Minta tolong ma supir bus buat kasih tau kita kalo udah sampe di Abbott Library in Marblehead.
Trus Mey telpon Dorothy kasih tau kalo kita udah nyampe. Sambil nunggu Mey pengin ke kamar mandi, jadinya numpang di library deh! Hehehe…
Ndak lama..ternyata Dorothy ma Kerry n Sam jemput. Perjalanan paling Cuma 3 menitan! Yuhhuuuu…ketemu ma anak2nya Kerry ma Brad… Alex, Sam, and Calvin.
Lucu2 deh…mereka cerita2 gitu ma loncat2… Calvin hobby hug orang! Lucu deh!

Ndak berapa lama, Dicky ma Mey dateng ma anak2 mereka, Vela, Vica, ma Vincia.
Hehehe..pas banget deh… 3 cowok & 3 cewek.
Alhasil kemarin orangtuanya bercanda. Gimana kalo dijodohin? Arranged marriage??
Huahaha ^_^ kaya orang jaman bahula aja!
Anyway..kita foto2 loh… Ni fotonya!
Too bad….Esti, Hari & Valen kagak bisa dateng, jadi rada sepi sih! Tapi Indira ma suaminya Sarij dateng. Mereka udah nikah 2,5 tahun. Trus pas kebetulan masing2 ada urusan, seminar ma conference, jd sekalian jalan2 deh ^_^

Pulang dr Dorothy, kita lagi males keluar makan, jadi Mey bikin omelet telor ma maling. Koko seneng loh! Apalagi Mey bikin sambal kecap trus ada krupuk lagi!
Wah..wah…berhubung wajan di rumah tu punyanya yang besar! Jadi kalo mau bikin omelet yang tebel, mesti pake telornya banyak! Untuk bisa bikin omelet tebel, Mey alhasil menghabiskan 8 butir telor di kulkas!
Pertama Koko mau nambah ambil telornya lagi, tapi begitu tapi di setiap potongan telor itu ada 1 butir telor, Koko ambil ½ aja! Hehehe :p
(maklum.. Koko kalo banyak makan telor, jadi udun-en!)

Good news! I am back!

Hello there! Here I am! I am BACK!!! ^_^
It's kind of funny but true..rasane kangen lo nulis lagi...
Kemarin malem lucu banget deh, Mey ngimpi kalo Mey pregnant! :p
trus bangun pagi langsung bilang ma Koko kalo Mey ngimpi! hehehe :)
Koko mah ndak bener2 komentar apa2..tp pagi2 waktu mau berangkat kantor, Koko kiss Mey trus bilang, "pregnant yach mimpinya?"

Mey hari ini bangun siang karena kemarin rasane kesel banget bikin tugas!
Hari ini sih bikin tugas juga..cuma ndak sebanyak kemarin!
eh..mikirnya mau kerjain tugas dirumah, tapi malah ndak isa konsentrasi sama sekali!
tetangga sebelah kamar...nyanyinya ndak karuan banget! pake mic lengkap dengan echo segala..trus nadanya fals lagi...
duh..duh....
well...emang sih kalo nadanya bener suara dia bagus... tp she needs to be more considerate! di gedung apartment kan ndak cuma dia yang punya kepentingan!
Alhasil karena Mey ndak kuat lagi, Mey telpon Koko trus bilang kalo Mey ndak isa konsentrasi bikin tugas, trus mau ke kampus aja... ^_^ Koko cuma senyum2 aja...

Hari ini kelas terakhir ma Elaine Magliaro, trus ada guest speaker Grace Lin. Mey coba cari di Barnes and Noble picture book-nya dia, tp ternyata ndak ada...
trus project 3 dibagiin, Mey dapet A! Thanks GOD!
Mey pengin dapet A...please...please....
Rada worry karena tugas ke-2 Mey cuma dapet B katanya karena activities yang Mey bikin terlalu banyak...buat anak kelas 2..itu terlalu banyak! kasihan anaknya nanti!
Mey kasih sendok, garpu, ma sumpit buat Elaine! I really love her class! ^_^
Hope to see her sometime later ^_^

Wednesday, April 26, 2006

Sorry... I am so sorry

Yeah...yeah... I know... I really do! I really know!!! that I have missed updating my blogger.
Hari2 terakhir ini banyak banget tugas numpuk!! (Whew.. Mey minta ma BABE... kalo diijinin dapet A semua dong... please??)
Mey udah kerja keras! Duh...sampe rasane waktu-ne habis buat belajar tok!

Selama beberapa minggu terakhir (tuh..udah ndak itungan hari lagi loh!) Mey hampir ndak pernah buka yahoo...or chat! It's just not me! not to chat, I mean!
but hey! that's the fact! that's what's going on so far with me!

Hari ini satu kelas dah kelar! FREEDOM!
Besok satu kelas lagi, trus minggu depan lagi satu! Habis itu Mey lulus deh!
Jadi bingung lagi..mau ngapain yach? hehehe :p

Uhm... begitu sibuknya sampe (keterlaluan deh...it's really not my type!) piring dan gelas, peralatan makan & masak masih di wastafel selama kira-kira 5 hari :(
Oh no!! bener2 bukan Mey. Mey kan paling ndak tahan kalo liat barang di wastafel dibiarin gitu! rasane matane gatel gitu loh!
Jadi selama itu juga, kita makan pake piring sterofoam..uhm..boros sih...tp ma gimana? karena terakhir Mey juga sering kumat tekanan darah rendahnya..mungkin ya itu karena kekeselen sih :( hiks..hiks..
Thanks God banget! kasih suami yang pengertian dan sayang Mey. Mey (literally I should say) mengelarang Mey masak or kesel. Koko once in a while cuciin piring buat Mey. Koko ndak ngomel kalo rumah berantakan..
Well...I should say kalo rumah ndak pernah sampe kapal pecah sih..cuma kan biasane Mey selalu rapiin teratur gitu...for this case, kagak ada tenaga dan waktu buat itu semua! bisanya cuma diberesin apa adanya!!

Hm... kangen juga sih dah lama ndak nulis disini...tp apa daya...tenaga udah mulai terkuras...
Well..berhubung hari ini Mey baru pulang jam 7malem lebih sampe rumah, Mey kagak masak lagi... I guess kita bakal makan luar lagi deh!
Just need to wait Koko pulang ^_^ trus makan bareng! I miss my Koko ^_^

Pulang kelas awal krn mau pingsan!

Oh NO!!!!
Hari ini dari pagi Mey udah ke kampus krn mau baca novel di kampus trus sekalian kuliah.
Pagi2 Mey udah makan banyak banget! trus baru berangkat, jadi kan udah berbekal perut kenyang..gitu ceritane....
tp ternyata jam 2/3an, Mey bener-bener ndak tahan...rasane ngliyeng banget!
Mey udah ngerasa mau pingsan gitu...

Mey akhirnya naik ke lantai 4 trus ngeprint tugas..berangkat ke kampus pagian karena rencana mau ngomong ma dosennya supaya bisa ndak ikutan kelas.
Mey coba beli makan ma minuman sing anget supaya sapa tau bisa mengembalikan tekanan darah Mey..jadi naik gitu lah maunya..
Mey sengaja duduk di deket pintu supaya kalo emang mau pulang jadi gampang keluarnya.
Mey ndak tahan..sampe akhirnya nunggu break, Mey langsung bilang ma prof kalo Mey mau pulang awal krn tangan Mey dingin banget!
Prof kasih bungkusan plastik, dia bilang itu buku yang Mey sempet mau pinjem ^_^
Mey rada bingung..itu buku dikasih buat Mey apa cuma dipinjemin yach? well..besok nanya deh ^_^
Thanks Elaine... for letting me to go home earlier so that I could rest.

Mey telpon Koko dan minta tolong Koko beli makan malam krn Mey ndak berani keluar rumah, takut kalo ntar malah pingsan ditengah jalan :p
Thanks sayang.. Thank you so much

My B-day party with CAREcell members


and

I ain't get the job

Lord, I ain't get the job. I just got a call and the Human Resource Officer notified me the result. Due to my circumstances of J-1 visa, I couldn't get the job.

I am not planning to question You, my Jesus 'coz You are unquestionable
I am not planning to doubt You, Lord because doubt doesn't exist in your dictionary
I am not planning to leave You, my God for I belong to You
I am not planning to depart from You, my everything as I am in Your embrace
You hold me closer into your sweet, sweet embrace

As David wrote, "My soul, praise The LORD!"
I demand my soul to praise You, my JESUS! 'coz with no doubt You deserve my everything!! Yeah...it's true! You deserve my everything, Lord!
I even have no right to claim all that You have given to me as mine! They are all YOURS, my Jesus!
You give and take away... You give and take away ^_^

I cry and I am hurt as I surrender all to You, Lord but again, I keep telling my self that all belong to You, Lord!
I offer You my total sacrifice, O Lord ^_^
It's painful seeing my husband's sad eyes every night. It's heartbreaking losing things that seem convincing here with Koko's career. My heart scatters picturing him searching for "unseen" jobs he really loves back in Salatiga.
I do believe You, my Jesus that You prepare every single detail in our lives starting from the beginning. The best is yet to come, isn't it, Jesus?
You open up the "unseen" jobs, the "unopened" ways and many other things ^_^

Lord, is it my birthday present from You? If it's so, I still thank You, Lord!
I do have questions in mind, but I don't question Your authority in my life.
Let You answer my questions in due time.

All things that we experience are nothing compared to all things You had been through while living on earth. O Lord, my heart is filled with gratitude for all the examples You have modeled.
Thank You, my Jesus! ^_^

The lesson in lives

Romans 5:1-5 (New International Version)
Peace and Joy
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

All God's testings have a purpose—
Someday you will see the light;
All He asks is that you trust Him,
Walk by faith and not by sight. —Zoller

The gem of Christlike character is formed by pressure and refined by friction.

Thanks Honey for the tulips! I love them ^_^


As my B-day present this time, I didn't ask Koko anything but tulips ^_^
So he gave me a dozen of tulips. I love them!
"Thanks Sayang"

I really love this song :NO DOUBT

No Doubt (PETRA)
Words by Bob Hartman
Based on James 1:6

There are times when you feel like you can't go on
There are times when you feel like giving in
And there are times when you feel like you can't try anymore
There are times of trouble in believing
This test of your faith will last
As long as it takes to pass
Till you have no more doubt you'll endure
And your faith will emerge true and pure

chorus

No doubt it'll be alright
With God it'll work together for good
No doubt in the end it will be understood
No doubt it'll all work out
With faith He can move any mountain for us
No doubt in the power of Jesus
And after all is done we find out
All we really need to have is no doubt

There's a time to take a reckless leap of faith
There's a time to be cautious and to wait
And there's a way of learning from the past
That this time of trouble won't last
And sometimes we want to think we know
The ways He will choose to make us grow
But it's never the way of our choosing
And we can't always see what He's using

chorus

There will be winters in the seasons of our soul
With a cold and bitter wind that chills our lives
But our faith can be building a fire
That will warm us till springtime arrives

chorus

Telpon Tara Domingos

Mey hari ini kelar doa, dll... Mey telpon Tara Domingos.
Dia itu nama bosnya Dina. Mey coba daftar kerja disono gantiin Dina.
trus akhirnya kita schedule an appointment for an interview.
Pertama sih Mey bilang kalo hari Senin aja jam 10 krn kan Mey ditanyain...
trus setelah mikir2, Mey jadi kepikiran kenapa ndak Rabu besok aja? kan Mey pagi juga ndak ada apa2...
Mey coba akhirnya telpon beliau lagi...nanya kemungkinan kalo interview dimajuin hari Rabu besok gimana? ternyata dia bisanya jam 3 sore.
padahal kalo jam segitu Mey ndak punya waktu cukup, karena kan ada kelas jam 4nya...
Akhirnya we stick to Sunday at 10.
Please pray for me ^_^

Mey juga bingung nih..mesti kostum apa dong? mesti resmi2 ria kan mestinya?? hehehe...
semoga aja udah ndak dingin..jadi bisa pake rok... karena kan Mey kagak bawa celana kain kesini... hehehe...mau beli juga rada mikir2..karena mesti ukuran-e ndak ada sing bener2 pas :( kan jadi ndak nyaman dipake juga kalo ndak pas gitu :p

anyway....udahlah Mey serahin semua ma Tuhan aja..

Mey hari ini jg coba temuin Dean Joan Dee, tp menurut beliau, lebih baik kalo Prof. Coppola kirim email ke beliau, bilang kalo program academic training ini emang appropriate dengan kerjaan Mey sekarang ini ^_^
Oh God..please help me up ^_^ please Lord, please...

Set up voice mail

Sorean Dina telpon waktu Mey kelar pulang kampus, habis belajar di kampus.
Dina bilang kalo bosnya tadi coba telpon Mey, tp ndak nyambung, trus ndak ada voice mail juga..

Mey rada lemes juga sih..waktu Dina bilang gitu...
Well..tp ada bagusnya juga sih..jadi ketauan kan? Mey jadi rada mikir juga..mungkin bener juga tuh omongan Dina, "mungkin selama ini udah banyak yang coba kontak Cicik, tp berhubung Cicik ndak set up voice mail, jadi mereka mungkin mikir kalo Cicik ndak serius karena no yang Cicik kasih ndak nyambung"
Oh dear...karena selama ini kan Mey lebih banyak di perpus, yang alhasil ndak ada sinyal...

anyway... Mey bersyukur kok tetep karena Tuhan juga kasih Dina buat ingetin Mey akan hal ini..selama ini kan cuek aja..ndak ngerasa penting set up voice mail.
Kalo udah gini...hehehe..jadi penting juga..
cuma berhubung Mey ndak tau set-up-nya gimana... Mey nungguin Koko pulang...

Mey akhirnya beresin file-file Sunday Service and CAREcell.
Kasih laporan ke Pastor ma Kak Lita tentang CAREcell kita, Encender. Selain itu Mey juga kasih follow-up ke CAREcell leaders yang lain buat ingetin yang lain2...
Mey belum masukin semua data CAREcell leaders ke yahoo address Mey, jadi Mey baru kirim buat yang ada di yahoo address dulu.
Uhm..ni PR yang harus dikerjain juga nih..
Mey ndak mau nunda2 kerjaan...karena kalo ditunda2 ntar malah tambah banyak..rasane ndak abis2!!!

Trus begitu Koko pulang...ternyata Koko pulang jam 8an..dianterin ma Zak (bosnya yang satunya)...
Zak cerita kalo dia sering ngomong ma Jeremy supaya gaji Koko dinaikin terus karena company butuh Koko banget! gitu deh ^_^ Thanks God for your GRACE.
Ternyata Koko juga ndak ngerti..alhasil Mey coba telpon Kak Lita..
trus Kak Lita nyaranin supaya kita coba telpon no kita sendiri...eh berhasil! :)
akhirnya udah di set-up sekarang.

Pastor protes dengan isi blog kita berdua..karena waktu itu Mey sempet nulis something yang mnrt Pastor..ndak seharusnya dimasukin...
Kak Lita mencoba menjelaskan kalo emang alasan nulis blog karena buat kasih kabar ma keluarga yang di Indo, tp kata Pastor.. "la wong masuk di friendster kok..la ya orang lain isa liat juga to" :p
Well..akhirnya yang bagian itu (biiiiiiiippp...sensor!!), Mey edit deh ^_^

Kaki Koko kesel banget hari ini..kemeng semua karena ndak pernah lari2 gitu kan? tau sendiri sepak bola kan ya cuma lari sana dan sini...
trus akhirnya malem, Mey pijetin kaki Koko ^_^ Koko mah seneng2 aja..hahaha :)

Kita berdua sembayang & kita feel that Tuhan ijinin ini terjadi supaya Ko Ong bisa bener2 take time (berdua doang) ma Tuhan ^_^
Pray that Ko Ong bener2 take this opportunity to approach God ^_^ and seek His will in his life.

Oh dear...VIRUSSSSSS!!!!

Duh..Mey hari ini mesti bikin tugas..
Trus Mey akhirnya karena butuh ngeprint warna...akhirnya ngeprint di rumah deh...
Ndak taunya waktu kirim lewat skype..ada tulisan kalo windowsnya kena skyware!
Duh...Mey kan kagak mudeng begituan..
trus akhirnya pas Koko lagi online..Mey nanya ma Koko!!!!

Ternyata itu virus!!
Walah..Mey langsung bingung! Koko juga bingung! hiks..hiks..
Mey sampe keringetan gitu..ditambah lagi rumah panas banget! matahari lagi bersinar cerah banget!!! :p trus alhasil kepanasan juga sih :p

Sampe akhirnya Koko bilang..udah biarin aja..

Koko kekunci diluar apartment

Berhubung Koko lupa bawa kunci apartment padahal Koko nyampe rumah pagian karena Koko dianterin ma temennya :p
jadi Koko nungguin di luar apartment..well...di foyer sih (if I could say that) :p
untunglah..jadi ndak dingin di luar (well..udah ndak begitu dingin sih..udah enak cuacanya...uhm..panas sih sekarang termasuk)

Kalo dibilang sih...Koko nungguin di luar ndak terlalu lama, karena setelah itu Mey pulang..
Hehehehe..kalo ukuran Mey jam segitu pulang sih termasuk telat...habisnya karena tadi bus-nya lama banget trus ternyata ada traffic di depan BU (I guess ada concert gitu jadi banyak orang antri, dll)
Uhm..trus Koko pulang bawa lunch-nya yang ndak habis...

Yummy..pasta ma buncis di godog n chicken wings... Mey tertarik ma menu Koko, jadi Koko makan roasted pork & rice, Mey makan buncis ma pastanya plus beberapa chicken wings... sluuuuuppp...enak..apalagi pake sambal ABC super pedas!!!
O man! That's great!
Berhubung ndak habis, Koko akhirnya dapet tambahan lauk..chicken wings...plus roasted pork dihabisin juga..
Terakhir nasi udah habis, akhirnya Koko gado chicken wings ma pork-nya...
Hahahaha..tp ndak pa lah..Koko udah rada kurusan kok...jadi makan daging doang..it's OK lah... ^_^ hehehe

Sambil makan n nonton TV, kalo pas lagi iklan, Koko bolak-balik ke komputer..coba benerin... VIRUS jeleknya dicoba diilangin..
Thanks GOD! virusnya bisa diilangin ^_^ Mey lega banget!!! Koko apalagi...soalnya kan kenanya di desktop Koko...yang buat design mesin, dll...
Whew..thanks..thanks... thank you, LORD!

Koko masakin Mey

Hari ini ternyata Mey akhirnya yek cing juga :p
Trus mungkin karena yek cing trus ditambah kerjaan banyak, badan-e rasane lemes banget deh!
Trus begitu Mey pulang, Mey langsung cuci piring, dan masak nasi...
eh ternyata Koko udah pulang.. Koko dianterin ma temennya Khalit..jadi Koko nyampe rumah pagian ^_^
berhubung kagak ada makanan, eh..Koko malah menyarankan buat masak mie aja..
La kan tapi Mey lagi males banget! Akhirnya Koko nawarin... "Kalo Koko yang masakin? Yayak mau??"
hehehe..tentu saja mau! ^_^

Akhirnya Mey sambil nungguin Koko masakin, Mey dikamar sambil nonton American Idol..
Trus kasih laporan ma Koko, " sekarang yang nyanyi "A", trus komentarnya Simon, dll..."ini dan itu"...gitu deh"

I'm drunk, I think.

Pulang gereja, kita makan bareng di Natick... Ken steak house!
Mey pesen chicken parmessan...ya ampun!!!!!!! Banyak banget!

Pertama sih kita pesen appetizer...trus kita makan appetizer plus roti...
Tambah lagi kita makan salad...eh udah kenyang duluan sebelum main course-nya dateng!
Trus "Excuse me!", Mey ke kamar mandi... mengurangi berat badan dikit...

Duh..bener2 deh mesti enak..tapi perutnya udah kenyang banget liat makanannya!
Punya Koko sih udah habis..karena porsinya lebih kecil sih...
Well...well...trus minum champagne...enak banget sih! California punya!

Waktu di mobil, Mey mulai ngerasa something foggy....
I thought at first...karena ngantuk! Tapi begitu turun dari mobil, Mey rasane melayang gitu...
Trus akhirnya kita naik lift ke kamar...Oh..begitu sampe depan pintu apartment, Mey rasane pengin muntah! Trus langsung lepas jaket..trus Mey tidur..
Koko langsung ketawa gitu...godain Mey, katanya "Katanya pinter minum, la kok mabuk?"
Hahaha....well..emang enak sih tapi mungkin karena kagak biasa minum, jadine rada ngliyeng gitu deh! Kaya kalo lagi mau pingsan tapi ini kagak ada item2-nya...
cuma muter aja..foggy gitu deh :p

Mom and Sis got the visa!

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

Barusan dapet telpon dr Mama..bilang kalo visanya lolos!
Bakal cair tanggal 31 Maret! hehehe....Mey ma Koko seneng banget!
Thanks banget Tuhanku ^_^

Besok pas tanggal itu, C Yau bakal ambil visanya di kedutaan!
Wah..wah...Tuhan emang baek banget!
Kayane ndak habis2nya bilang kalo Tuhan itu baek!

Tadi di gereja, Pastor share tentang "let's cross over"!
Mey sempet merasa sedih karena sampe sekarang belum dapet kabar tentang kerjaan....padahal Mey udah kirim banyak banget lamaran kerjaan...
Mey ndak meragukan Tuhan...tapi Mey mikirin itu terus.... but then....
God reminds me.."kalo emang Mey masih ada sedikit aja...secuil aja keraguan! I am not trusting God... so I have to 100% trust God! really it needs the whole 100%"
I believe now...again...and again.... that I would like to ask and ask and ask until I get it from God!
I would like to also trust Him in faith....that He is able to do any miraculous acts in my lives! God is good ^_^

Whew...rough draft tugas dah kelar

Thanks GOD!!!!! Thank you so much!

Akhirnya tugasnya yang lesson plan..Children's literature udah kelar!
Well..masih rough draft sih..tp Mey udah kirim ke Prof-nya supaya bisa dikasih input gitu deh ^_^
I have spent so much time on working on this!

I still need to work on some other assignments, though!
I still have my literature review! I also have my other lesson plan!
Last but not least, I have my reflections/ journals to write, and the themed poetry collection!

With God, all things are possible! - is actually the motto of Ohio State!
I didn't know at first, but then as I read the poetry of "My America", I figured out that!
O Wow! Even in this "crazy" world of America, they still believe that with GOD! and only with GOD! all things are possible!
I wish all believers believe this! What a great impact believers can do to this crazy world! Not only in the United States, but all over the world, including Indonesia which is still my home country!

I got an A- for my project

Hari ini sebelum masuk ke kelas yang jam 4, Mey mampir dulu ke IT buat nge-print tugas dan juga beli snack di TacoBell!
Well...well..well...sekarang Mey lagi suka banget makan makanan Mexican..
ndak tau kenapa nih..hehehe..mungkin juga karena murah sih...

Trus di ternyata waktu lagi beli makan, ketemuan ma temen sekelas, dia juga lagi makan..trus kita ngobrol bentar...
Dia nanya, "what time is it?"
Mey langsung jawab dengan santai, "4!"
Dianya langsung heboh, "What? 4? Uh..we got to be hurry!"
Trus kita jalan barengan, trus kita sambil guyonan!
"Not bad! we are 3 minutes late! We usually come 10 minutes earlier than the other students. So once in a while being late is OK? right??"

Ternyata kelas udah mulai, padahal Mey belum kelar makannya..trus sambil ndengerin Prof.nya, Mey habisin makanannya cepet2an deh :p
Ternyata hari ini tugasnya dibagi. Mey dapet A- sedangkan temen2 cewek lainnya dapet C+ and C- (mereka ndak puas banget dengan hasilnya)
Trus Mey juga rada bingung kenapa kok tempat Mey ada pertanyaan..trus siapa muridnya?
Well...menurut Mey karena itu mestinya udah di tugas yang pertama, jadi yach ndak tak masukin kesitu...
Eh ternyata..setelah Mey konfirmasi ma Prof-nya, dia bilang kalo karena waktu yang tugas pertama, Mey belum bener2 kasih deskripsi siapa muridnya, dia masih nunggu penjelasan itu..
Well..Mey juga bakal nulis lagi ah..biar lebih bagus!

Temen2 Mey ini sampe protes lama banget...yang 1 protes selama setengah jam, trus masuk kelas sambil nangis...
sedangkan yang satunya lagi..protes sampe 1 jam-an (sampe akhirnya Mey nyampe rumah jam 8 lebih karena kan Mey juga mesti nanya ma Prof. juga...)
Koko udah sampe rumah dan Koko bingung kenapa kok Mey baru pulang..trus Mey jelasin.
Koko bilang.. "Wah..hebat dong dapet A-" ^_^ Thanks God banget deh pokoknya!
hehehe..penginnya sih semester ini dapet A semua, jadi bisa masuk kategori summa cum laude pas wisuda... (kategori yang paling atas sendiri) ^_^

Trus akhirnya karena Mey belum masak nasi...karena kan mikirnya bakal pulang seperti biasa...kagak menyangka kalo bakal pulang malem gini..
Koko makan nasi yang masih ada di rice cooker, setelah Mey masak nasi lagi..
Ternyata begitu liat Koko makan, Mey jadi ikutan laper..akhirnya Mey masak mie trus tak kasih keringnya deh ^_^
not bad lah...tempenya sekarang kagak begitu kerasa pahitnya...
tapi...tetep enakan tempe Indo deh!!! hehehe :p

Trus kita berdua nonton film Stealth (Koko tuh pengin2 banget nonton film ini..tapi kagak bisa nonton di bioskop sini karena waktu itu main, kita lagi kagak ada waktu nonton!)
Well..akhirnya pinjem deh!!!

Mey sambil nonton..sambil chat ma Cie Yau, Koh Sen, ma murid Mey jg (tapi cuma bentar doang sih yang sama murid Mey) :p

I can do all things with God who strengthens me!

Pagi-pagi Mey bangun...kepalanya pusing banget!
Koko kagak jadi bawa makanan, karena Koko bingung bawa kuahnya gimana...
kan sekarang Koko juga pake lunch box yang lebih kecil dan lebih riskan sih emang tutupnya dibandingin lunch box yang biasanya...

Trus sebelum Koko berangkat, Koko nyikep Mey trus sembayang buat Mey...
Dikasih kesehatan, dikasih ide kreatif, bisa ngerjain tugas!
Koko bilang gini juga sebelum berangkat, "I know you can do it! I know that!"
(Thanks Sayang!) ^_^

Trus Mey istirahat lagi bentar, trus waktu bangun sembayang..trus Mey ngomong ma Mey sendiri "I can do all things with God who strengthens me!"
Amazingly, ucapan firman itu jadi kekuatan buat Mey sendiri! Indeed, God's words are the double-edged swords!!!! Thanks God! You are indeed the living GOD!

Lagi tengah2 balesin email temen, ada yang ketok2 pintu, ternyata tukang yang mau benerin atap kamar mandi..kan bocor gitu!
Trus sambil nungguin Bapaknya benerin, Mey mbaca articles ma buku di ruang tengah...
Bapaknya baikan dan orangnya bersih...
Dia juga kasih tau Mey supaya lebih ati2 tutup pintu! karena banyak orang baik, tapi banyak juga orang yang ndak baik! Jadi Mey dikasih tau supaya langsung telpon ma Mrs. Kauffman supaya pintunya dibenerin!
Katanya..kalo bilang ma superintendent...ndak langsung dikerjain...ngomong aja langsung ma Mrs. Kauffman-nya! hehehe ^_^
This man is a good man! God bless him!

Eit...ada yang masuk kamar mandi!

Wah... Mey kaget pulang kampus jam 7an (hehehe...kagak ada kelas sih hari ini dicancel karena Prof.nya lagi ke luar state...ada seminar gitu deh)
tapi Mey tetep ke kampus...bikin tugas di perpus dari pagi-siang sampe malem jam 7an.

Hari ini Koko bawa bekal chickennya, Mey akhirnya beli makan deh!
Duh..ternyata kagak enak masakannya! well..tapi yach tetep dimakan sih :p
habis mau gimana lagi? kalo ndak dimakan ntar malah ndak isa kerja...ngerjain tugas...malah tambah barabe kan??
Mey hari ini perutnya eneg banget..kirain lagi dapet...eh ternyata kagak juga tuh...
uhm....napa yach???

Pulang sampe rumah, Mey langsung potong2 tahu ma tempe dan juga lombok, bawang merah & putih...mau bikin kering.
Udah ditunggu sampe akhirnya airnya berkurang... (kan nunggunya lama kan? supaya bener2 meresap bumbune di tahu dan tempenya)
eh..ndak taunya waktu Mey coba cicipin tempenya..ternyata PAHITTTTTTTTTT!!!!
Mey langsung minum air segelas...biar ngilangin rasa pahitnya...
kirain salah lidahnya...trus coba lagi..ambil tempenya lagi!!! PAHHHIITTTTT!!!

Mey bingung deh...karena waktu coba tahunya..it's OK!
Tapi mosok mau makannya dipilihin satu2 gitu??
Koko pulang malem lagi! kira2 jam 9an Koko baru nyampe rumah...
Koko sih kelaparan juga..trus Mey minta Koko coba cicipin tempe-nya..
menurut Koko sih ndak masalah! tapi Koko juga rada ragu gitu deh!

Masih sambil nonton American Idol, Koko mengeluh laper...dan minta mie!
Mey bilang kalo Mey udah terlanjur males masak! habis tadi udah masak kesel2...lama kan nunggunya...eh...ternyata malah gitu!!!
Mey coba nanyain Koko...barangkali Koko mau masak sendiri! eh..ternyata Koko kagak mau! Yach..udah deh...akhirnya Mey masak mie 2 buat kita ber-2!!
Bener-bener deh!! Tempe-nya mengecewakan!
Padahal udah pengin makan tempe kaya di Indo! hiks..hiks...ternyata malah pahit!!!
hua...hua...hua.... (ceritanya ini lagi nangis!!) hihihi ^_^

Today is a long day... Hari ini rasane mikir tugas terus sepanjang hari! :p
Anyway... I enjoy it!

Monday, March 20, 2006

God is good, indeed!

This morning I woke up and prepared Koko's lunch box.
We still have the long bean and shrimp for Friday's CAREcell. I had put that in the fridge so I thought it would be allright.
I also placed some popcorn chicken! (Don't know why but my hands kept adding the chicken inside the container)
I, myself, don't know why I did it.

I then continued sleeping as Koko left home for working.
I woke up, I guess at around 10. I had actually woke up and spoke with God in my sleeping position, but later on I decided to really get up and bow on my feet and pray!
As usual, I took my time alone with God reading the word of God and prayed.

Next, I checked my email and yes... chatted with some people.
Until I ate the same lunch as what I prepared for Koko. O dear! It's not fresh anymore! I tried to call Koko, sent emails and messages to let him not to eat that!
I'm afraid he will simply pour it over the rice, then he can't eat!

Now I know why my hands didn't stop adding the chicken to Koko's lunch box.
God knows that! and He works through my hands! Thanks GOD!

This is not the end of what God has done in my life.....in each daily life ^_^
I was about to take a bath, suddenly there was a ring from the UPS (post office) - delivering a package.
If only I were taking a bath, I needed to pick it up at the post office!
Wow...GOD! You are awesome!

I was just checking some websites of job vacancy. "Accidentally", my toes pressed the stereo under the desk and it was Don Moen's songs!
The song "God is good" really spoke to me personally! I also cried remembering of how more than good He is to me personally.
I began to praise Him more! I used to praise Him while showering....
Lately, because it's winter...not everyday I take a bath... so I don't praise Him (specifically praise HIM..lifting up my voice...enjoying my time with HIM...knowing that He enjoys my praises and worships) in daily basis!
I keep praying and meditating His words...but I know...it's not enough!

He also loves to hear my praises and worship dedicated to HIM! and only HIM alone!
I'm thrilled today! Even though I finally go to campus late...
I know that I am choosing the best! to prioritize my God first!
(Seek God first! - Matthew 6:33)

I love You, my Jesus Christ! You are so true! ^_^
This is my life as a living sacrifice to You, my Lord.....

Koko kakinya kemeng semua

Karena tadi pagi waktu sebelum main Koko ndak pemanasan dulu...
eh ternyata langsung lagu pertama 1/16....Kaki Koko langsung kemeng semua tuh..
Kasihan Sayangku... but still he is more than happy to serve God!

Mey seneng banget Koko bisa main lagi...give the best to GOD!
It's always be his heart to dedicate himself... to praise God with his music! (not simply play drum or other instruments)

Semula Koko mikir bakal ke NH..ternyata ndak jadi..karena ternyata udah ada yang main disono!
Trus akhirnya kita pulang barengan ma Michael and Tara..mampir ke 88 dulu..
Michael ama Tara belanja.. Koko beli lollie cup as usual!
Jadine kita malah punya banyak makanan di rumah deh..karena kan masih ada makanan dr Jumat trus masih ada juga KFC kemarin beli..eh tambah lagi popcorn chicken!

Hari ini ma Angel, Mey beres2in gereja...

Pertama sambil nungguin Angel..belum dateng, Mey beres2 dulu...
Kosongin tong sampah...dibuang ke box gede diluar gereja...trus ganti plastiknya dengan yg baru..
Siapin tray buat Tante Elise...kan hari ini masak... juga siapin piring dan sendok2.

Pas Angel dateng, kita akhirnya pergi beli minum..karena kagak ada minum sama sekali.
Sampe di church, kita akhirnya lipet2 paper towel..dijadiin napkin buat makan.
Kita juga pindah2in meja dan rapiin tempat...
buka meja lipat...dan disiapin buat ntar makan!

Uhm..hari ini ada 3 jemaat baru. Pasangan suami-istri dari NH ma Rosaline (sepupu Alim)...duh senengnya..
Trus kita berdua dibantuin ma Ety n Lely plus Koko...angkat2 kursi di taruh sekeliling meja buat orang2 makan...

Thanks GOD! Thanks for using both of us as your pipelines! We are proud of You, LORD!

Setelah telpon Buk-e...batalin ke rumahnya untuk benerin korden, Mey telpon informasi (Esti) nanya gimana kalo mau ke Fenway...
Trus cek www.mbta.com trus kita berangkat deh! pagian karena biar bisa sekalian liat2 yang lain..
Beneran..kita mampir ke Best Buy ama Staples...cari kertas foto...

What should I do?

Well..to be honest, I started my day wonderfully. Koko woke me up with his sweet kiss. Koko juga kasih tau kalo malem ini Koko bakal usahain pulang pagian...
hopefully jam 7 udah nyampe rumah..nge-pas waktu Mey pulang dr kampus. Koko sih bilang mau sekalian cuci pakaian gitu deh!
Anyway...Mey seneng karena Koko bilang bakal usahain pulang awal!
Pray Koko bakal cepetan dapet busnya, jadi beneran isa sampe rumah pagian!

Eh..Mey lagi baca renungan ada SMS...tapi Mey ndak buka or apa2in HP...
sampe akhirnya ada telpon dr Buk-e, trus kita ngobrol!
Thanks God! Buk-e telpon pas Mey udah kelar belajar..jadi kan kagak disturb my study time!
eh..trus akhirnya liat SMS deh! Mey kaget karena Cie Yau udah bener-bener ndak tahan dengan Mama...
Cie Yau udah repot2..ngurus ini dan itu...ditengah2 kesibukan Cicik sendiri di kantor..eh..ternyata apa yang udah Cie Yau pikirin (coba aturin) jadi "kacau" karena Mama juga ikutan ngatur!
Mey sedih..karena kalo emang pengin pergi ke Jakarta dan naik kendaraan sendiri..
apa ya mau nanggung kalo nanti telat dan lain lain???
Kalo emang daripada repot gini... Mey sempet mikir..apa ya udah ndak usah kesini sekalian aja...daripada malah tambah bikin jadi masalah...tambah runyam gini!!!

Kalo emang Mama mau ambil resiko telat...dan yang lainnya...
well...kita liat aja deh... kalo emang ternyata dateng interview telat! berarti mesti nunggu lagi sampe 3 bulan lagi baru bisa ngurus lagi!
pasti deh! kalo udah mengalami repotnya ngurus..trus batal karena masalah beginian...pasti Cie Yau kagak mau bantuin ngurusin lagi...
Ngisi form itu kan juga ndak gampang...habisin waktu juga...

Belum lagi di Jakarta kan kagak bisa main-main...macet sana sini....
Apalagi kalo rencana mau nginep di puncak...emang gampang apa???
Eh..kenapa Mey ikutan jadi emosi gini sih????

Well...intinya..kalo emang gini...mendingan ndak usah sekalian aja deh dateng kesini.
Toh dulu kan juga mikirnya Mey bakal lulus tahun depan dan PaMa juga ndak ada rencana mau kesini kan?
well...ya udah gitu aja..kagak usah mikirin kesini... kalo emang endingnya malah tengkar gini.. Koh Han ma Papa juga ikutan bingung!
I-Ik mesti ninggalin pabriknya! (tau sendiri... I-Ik kan paling kagak bisa ninggalin pabrik!)

O God....help me up! Mey bener-bener kagak ngerti nih! Koko sih bilang...ya udah to biarin aja... biar Yau Ling ma Mama ngatur dewe..pokoke hari Senin jam segitu udah di Embassy. Kalo emang telat ya udah to...ndak usah dateng kesini sekalian! biar belajar dari kesalahan....

Lembur sampe jam 11an

Hari ini Mey udah cepet2an pulang kampus..langsung mampir ke Supermarket beli udang karena mau masak buat dinner...
mikirnya supaya pas Koko pulang ada makan!

Udah dingin-dingin dibelain mampir...eh...ternyata lagi siap2 masak... Koko telpon kalo malem ini bakal pulang telat karena mesti nglembur!
Koko sih bilang bakal pulang sampe rumah kira-kira jam 9an...
Mey udah lemes!

Trus tetep masak deh...and as usual..kalo emang lagi ndak enak ati gitu..masakannya jadi "ancur" deh!! Well....tau sih kalo bakal kebanyakan bumbu karena ternyata kacang panjangnya cuma dikit..karena kan kemarin udah dibikin pecel! hehehe
Mey akhirnya makan sendiri di kamar sambil nonton American Idol...

kira-kira jam 10an, Mey bilang ma Koko kalo Mey sedih Koko pulang malem!
Trus Koko bales..bilang kalo ni lagi nungguin temen yang Koko ikutan pulang....dianya masih kerja soalnya!
Trus begitu Koko udah nyampe rumah, Mey langsung matiin komputer trus tidur...
Koko jadi sedih juga... katanya, "Koko pulang kesel, eh kok malah di"prengut-i" sih?"
Well...Mey akhirnya say "sorry" dan bilang kalo "Mey ndak mau kalo Koko pulang malem"

Kita tuh kan cuma bisa ngobrol kalo malem n weekend...kalo pulang jam segitu...gimana kita bisa ngobrol?? yang ada mah cuma kesel doang!!!
Anyway...it's all settled down!

Masak pecel

Kemarin habis makan Viet, kita berdua mampir ke 88 untuk beli sayur2an, karena Mey pengin makan pecel!
untung masih ada bumbu pecel! jadi kan udah langsung bisa dimasak...
tinggal panasin air..trus di plung-plung udah deh!
well..Mey emang mesti masak juga sih..masak bakwan! jadi motong2 wortel dulu...trus dikasih cambah...tepung...air...telor...ditambah bumbu ini dan itu...trus digoreng deh!
paling cuma jadi kira2 8 biji deh...
hehehe...la kan emang buat berdua sih...

Trus ternyata Koko masih punya sisa makanan tadi siang waktu beli dr kantor..
trus Koko makan makanan dr kantor dulu..trus akhirnya gado makan pecelnya!hehehehe
pas banget karena beberapa hari yang lalu, Mey udah goreng krupuknya...

Makan Vietnam!

Berhubung hari ini Mey bener2 kagak sempet masak, jadinya kita berdua akhirnya keluar makan deh!
Kita coba makan Vietnam!

Ada kejadian lucu nih...
waktu kita kelar makan, kan kita udah beres2in gitu...trus Koko lagi minum green tea..trus Koko kirain tuh udah habis...jadi pegangnya asal2an gitu..
eh..ternyata masih ada isinya dikit trus tumpah!
Waktu tau tumpah! Mey langsung jerit! "Koko!"
Ternyata ada satu orang cowok, liat keseluruhan proses jatuhnya...dan Koko yang cuma senyum2 sedangkan Mey udah langsung heboh ambil tissue dan lap-lap...
hehehe...cowok ini cuma ketawa2 malu2 gitu...dia langsung berusaha buang muka! tapi senyum2 gitu!

Waktu Mey cerita ma Koko tentang cowok ini..Koko jadi heran sendiri..
Kenapa cowok ini jadi malu2 gitu???? wah..kagak tau deh! hihihi :p

Outline n reference

Hari ini Mey mampir ke kantor Prof. Coppola...ke mail box kumpulin outline ma reference!
trus akhirnya turun ke bawah tulis email kalo Mey udah taruh di mailbox!

Mey lanjutin baca buku and jurnal buat tugas di basement! sambil nungguin kelasnya jam 4. Sampe di kelas udah ada Vanessa! trus langsung deh Mey kasih suvenir dari Mita buat Vanessa! hehehe...
Dia seneng banget!!! Thanks katanya!

Trus pas bahas outline, Prof. Coppola bilang "good job!" hehehe ^_^
Thanks God! for all the works You've done, You do, and You are continuely doing in my lives!

Kita pulang seperti biasa...lebih awal dr biasanya...
Well...Prof. kasih tau kalo suaminya didiagnosa kanker dan mesti kemoterapi! God, please strengthen the whole family!

On the way pulang, lagi nunggu bus, Mey ngobrol ma JJay (temen "karib" Esti sekarang)
wah..ternyata dia udah pacaran 10 tahun! hehehe..lama banget yach? hehehe
Trus Esti ngomong kalo dia merasa aman ma JJay karena dia tau cowok yang satu ini udah pacaran lama banget gitu! hehehehe...
Anyway...it's all about the whole day! (basically those are the big events) :p
