This blog entry is dedicated to naruto. :) ...
Naruto is a manga that I like very much. It has an interesting story line about a ninja boy who has a monster sealed in his body since he was a baby. The monster was sealed in order to save konoha (the hidden village where naruto and the other ninja live) from the destruction. Naruto grew up not knowingly why everyone in the village hated him. Almost everyone hates naruto, since many of their relatives are killed by the monster/kyuubi inside him.
His bitterness in his heart keeps growing until the day when his sensei (ninja teacher) Iruka touches his heart. Iruka acknowledged Naruto as one of his excellent student despite what everybody thinks of him. He does not hate naruto even though his parents were killed by Kyuubi inside Naruto. When Naruto was at the lowest point of his bitterness/anger, Iruka protected him from Mizuki, the ninja who tried to make Naruto betray konoha .... to the point where Iruka almost die. Naruto cried .. He did not think that someone would actually do that to him ... From then on is the starting of Naruto's incredible journey as ninja. His life changes, his bitterness is slowly removed from his heart and he grow and grow and grow stronger everyday as ninja, thanks to Iruka's love ..
Naruto's one and only dream is to become a Hokage one day whereby everyone will acknowledge his existence. Hokage is the most skillful ninja in the village and is the appointed leader whose task is to protect the village. This dream is related to the fact that in his early life, nobody really thinks that He exists. he lived alone and it's very rare that people will talk or have a conversation with him. He is so focused to this dream in whatever he does as a ninja.
Naruto also has some principles which he tries to abide all the time, such as "Never run away from problem", "Never betray your comrades", and "Never give up until the end of end", which are pretty good principles in the ninja world. ^^ .. Because of many difficulties in his early life, Naruto developed a habit of not giving up easily. He is an interesting ninja because he uses his pain in his early life and touch others with the things that he does and say. He changes people's heart, from coward to hero, from betrayer to someone who trusts others, and so on. He is also a quite spirited ninja, always full of energy and very innocent ninja boy indeed.
Well, that was more or less the story line of the manga itself. One thing that I like about this manga is definitely naruto's character. Even though the story has some things in it which are not realistic/true or biblical and sometimes it is too ideallistic, but it is still a good story, very touching and I can really relate to it. Naruto's attitude of doing the best until the very last, not giving up until your last spurt is one of the thing that I most like. If I am to relate the story to my Christian life, I believe there will be many difficult things which I will face during my Christian life. I realize that a christian life is a journey and not a one stop terminal. It is a journey where I must STAY with no BUT. There is NO SUCH THING as conditional commitment in Christian life. I must never give up this faith of mine until the very end, not with my own strength but only by His grace, not because I deserve it but because of His mercy, not because of my own cleverness/riches/ability/look but because God chose to love me. God has loved me first even though I am a sinner more than the love that Iruka sensei gave to Naruto by dying on the cross so that I can start this incredible journey as a Christian, to grow stronger day-by-day in His love. I really want to have a life with no regrets and I believe that is to live a Christian life wholeheartedly. I will fall, stumble along the way but God has promised to be with me and I believe He does.
**Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up**
** Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.**
Yosshhh, Doriaaaaa!! ^^

The past week
There were many things happen to me in the past week..To start with, last Friday we went to Karaoke wif my bible study members and david liu's bible study. That was a very enjoyable night for me and I hope the others too.Hahaha.I always like to sing. I think I became a sanguin in that karaoke room. Emm .. the only thing that I was worried about is hanna since she didn't sing much .. hanna "can and will" only sing english songs and only selected songs that are elegant .. haha .. our song selection ranged from rap (where is the love) to mandarin and indo songs :) .. we ended up spending $11 pp for 2 hours of karaoke .. In the end there were about 18 songs left in the queue .. Next time we'll do it at yap2 place since its free .. haha ...
Jun just got a job last week ... he is working in KFC town hall now .. brought home some KFC chicken .. yummy .. He also got a second job at oxford st bar .. the former employer at australian hotel called him up and asked him if he is available to work ... well it's a bit worrying .. he told me that some of his workmates are gay and he was scared .. I was a bit comforted knowing that it is his former boss at australian hotel who offered him the job .. Praying that he'll be ok despite his busy work and study
Master class was also pretty good last Thursday .. not too long .. :) .. anyway, I've got questions which om joe did not know/want to answer at that time .. He promised me yesterday that he'll think about it though .. The question is "how do you disprove reincarnation?" Given that people who believe in the reincarnation gives prove such as there is this person who can tell exactly where he lived in the past life, who his/her wife/husband was, when did he die, his sickness and so on. This person has never visited the country where he/she claimed to live his/her past life .. I think I heard there are many proofs of it, my parents know some of them and they always bring this as proof that there is such thing called reincarnation .. Does anyone want to comment or have any opinion?
On Friday, I watched Cirque De Soleile with some Damon, ken, rose, leo, alastair, rav, stef, hans. Wow .. it was fantastic .. recommended to watch .. it's been a long time since i watch any circus .. very enjoyable .. I was hoping it would run for more than 2 hours, kurang banget rasanya ..
Pemuda was good yesterday .. Jimmy brought a very clear message I think about mentoring topic, easy to understand and very applicable .. I approached/will approach Kev and Muri (not yet) and ask them to help out in taking care of some of the members in our bible study ... Kevin will mentor edward, muri -> hanna and inggrid and I -> kevin ... Maybe we'll try doing one on one meeting once we are used to it .. but the first step is maybe to pay attention more to the person him/herself. I am so not used to the concept though ...
At pemuda I had a conversation with a guy who come regularly to IPCYF about catholicism .. He is a catholic, but it is a bit weird for me that he come to our church youth fellowship but on Sunday he still goes to catholic church and he considers himself a catholic ... I really don't feel right about it though .. feel awkward ... I had a chance to talk a little bit about the difference between catholicism and christianity .. I think I have to say this to him, since if I keep quiet it will not be right .. I tried not to offend him as best as I could .. just try to be open wif him and at the same time try to understand him .. I think it is time that we need to be a bit ruthless about the truth but at the same time also melayani mrk ...
Yesterday after pemuda, I went straight to Lidia's place .. I had so much fun and laughter you won't believe it .. sampe hampir cram perut .. hahahah .. Lidia is a PHD student who usually come to Sunday morning service. She kindly invited me and some people (Ronny, Triana, Franky, Yosi, Mbak Maria, Windy, Nelvi, ahon dan istri (sapa nama istri ahon?) and some of lidia's friends to go to her place celebrating her birthday. Haha .. she can cook really well .. nasi kuning nya was very good ... es buah and cake nya juga very nice .. she also made tahu brontak sama lumpia vietnam .. how does that sound? hahah .. we brought her a kitchen utensil and cookbook as her bday present *hope she like it* .. so that she can cook for us more in the future .. HAHAHA .. oh well, this group of people is so much fun .. we laughed a lot like crazy yesterday .. I've never had that kind of laugh for a long time now .. it was unbelievable .. hahaha ... our converstion was always full of joke .. feel like we were part of srimulat team or somethin .. Yosi, Franky, Mbak Maria (she is the best), and Lidia are the funniest of them all .. really enjoy it everytime I mix around with them ... very happy bunch of people, well at least from the outside appearance .. I know that some of us banyak masalah juga ... but it was a good laugh yesterday ... very happy very happy .. ureshiiii ..
Well, today there is no bible study prep meeting .. haha .. I kinda miss it .. what am I gonna do today ya? I am sure there are many things that I can do .. haha .. clean my room and wash my clothes are definitely on the agenda :)

Raker result so far ......
Had a full day today ... in the morning I went to our church's general meeting .. It is held every two years. The main purpose of having that is actually to see the general picture of what each department and commision doing as part of IPC church as a whole. I also had to give a presentation today of our youth program in the year 2005-2006 ...
During the meeting i realize it is not about which commission/department is doing better than the other .. Every dept has their own successes and failures .. We must support one another as partner in the gospel, if you know what i mean ... sometimes instead of supporting one another, we don't care about what the other dept is doing, let alone other churches .. It can be pictured like one church envy another church because they have more members or their members are more lively ... that really happens, I think ... Well, Ideally we should give thanks anyway since if Christ is really preached in that other churches, we should thank God for that .. The end goal is the same ...
To share a bit, here is our plan for next year (pls comment my blog readers .. ). But plan is just a plan, without prayer and full surrender, it's a bit meaningless .. Ok .. here we go .....
IPC Youth fellowship:
Who we are:
Non-routine

To share a bit, here is our plan for next year (pls comment my blog readers .. ). But plan is just a plan, without prayer and full surrender, it's a bit meaningless .. Ok .. here we go .....
IPC Youth fellowship:
Who we are:
- We are mostly indo students who study here. Some of us are still in high school, pre-uni, uni students and workers.
- To build a strong fellowship, solid bible teaching and reaching out to wider community esp youth ... (become a blessing to them by sharing the gospel and Christ's love) at school, workplace and uni
- Weekly fellowship
- Bible talk: The plan is to have more short letters, more bible series and topics in the year 2005. So we will do New testament letters (short ones) and followed by a series of topical sermon (e.g. relationship series, music workshop, money, wanting to be rich, ecclesiastes 1,3,12, Psalms - how we relate to God in real life situations, happy situation, sad, angry, lonely, down, and so on)
- panel discussion (more of this in the year 2005)
- fellowship and dinner
- Weekly bible study (most probably we'll learn romans in the first semester)
Non-routine
- Special events: Valentine, Bday, Xmas and Easter
- Outings: 3x a year
- Evangelical nights (app 3 times this year) ... some of the ideas are (any more good ideas?):
- coffee table: have coffee and short bible talks ... (Mrs Mavis idea)
- Invite gospel singers to evangelize
- Invite good speakers for evangelism .. (combine with pemuda bday/MPKD maybe for this one)
- Training: Evangelism training, 2 ways to live workshop
- Outreach to uni (open a stand 1x a year) plus Free Maths/English/Science/Physics tutorial for HSC students .. reaching out to young people (maybe can liase with remaja if they are from aussie background) ...
- Conventions: KYLC (Katoomba Youth Leader Convention), KYC (Katoomba Youth Convention), MKC (Men's Katoomba Convention), WKC (Women's Katoomba Convention)
- Mini retreat in the summer .. gather and study the bible together, plus recreational activities in the blue mountains ...

updates updates
Went to latino festival last week .. that was the first time I've been to america latin festival. I found many traditional goods, cds, statues, jewellery, food, dances, music in that festival. Overall it was quite interesting. The thing that interest me the most is the music style that they have. They have their own unique music style like dangdut for indonesia. I separate the modern latin and traditional latin, since even though they are both latin music, they are quite different loh ... I like the modern one .. more colourful and not boring .. got the chance to see the drummer up close and personal in there .. hehe .. got a few things in my mind now which I want to try to improve my drum skill ...
Last monday Erico and Dency had a wedding ... congrats to both of them .. akhirnyaaaaaaaa!! hehe .. hans's speech was quite funny .. it ended with "akhirnyaaaaaaaaaaa" while we toss the drink for their happiness ... The thing that got my attention is when Erico's parents sing one song at church .. I really like the lyrics of the song that they sang at church .. It is called "Ku tau siapa yg pimpin" (I know who lead me) .. it's an old song but the way they sing it is really really different .. I guess it summarizes their prayer for both of them in going through this life as husband and wife to put God as the center of their lives .. hmm .. hmmm .. parents' blessing very important in the marriage eh .. ^^
As for yesterday, went with SDG group to centennial park .. BBQ BBQ BBQ .. oi oi oi ... ^^" .. played soccer with oscar, vic lay and ken .. that was a nice game .. hehe .. we won by 1-0 .. anyway ... after that played around with some kids, took some pictures and headed straight to church for pemuda. Challenging sermon yesterday .. It was about "How far will we go for being faithful to God?" The story was taken from Daniel 3 when sadrakh, messakh and abednego was challenged by Nebucadnezzar king to worship the gold statue and not GOD. If they refuse, they will be thrown to the fire. Om joe than gave some real life examples which was really helpful, like what to do in chinese funeral and so on. He gave a good practical advice which says that we should differentiate between religion and culture. If it is a religion which causes us to worship something other than Jesus then we must not do it. If it is a culture and does not involve worship of any kind of form and it is just a means to show respect to older generation, then it's ok .. but sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the two .. that's why we are in fellowship, can remind and discuss about such thing among one another .. Daniel, sadrakh, messakh and abednego learnt Babilon language, changed their names (to the name of babel gods basically) and were committed to Babilonian country (part of God's command to pray for the country where they are an exile) .. but if it has crossed the line, they refuse to do it ... really an encouragement sermon for me ..
Oh well .. today got a bs prep ... christmas practice, sunday night practice, sunday night service .. what a long day .. tomorrow get back to work again ..

Business (and/vs) Christianity
God gave me a chance to share the gospel with my workmate yesterday. I was nervous inside, you had no idea. But talking to this person, I can be open without being afraid since we worked together for quite sometimes now.
The story began with him reading my BMS postcard. BMS (Bible Means Business) is a group of working people gather together every Wednesday to listen to God's word. and then he asked me questions. He asked me, that how is it being in the business world can be in sinc with what is required from God in the bible? They are both in conflict all the time, he said. I also have that question in mind for a while now. I answered him with everything that I know, went straight to the gospel. Really glad that we had some practice at my bible study on the evangelism. He also asked me how do you explain all the tragedy that happen in this world, especially if that happens to your own family, he said. Sadly, when I asked him if he wants to join BMS next wednesday, he refused. I closed that chapter in my life long time ago, he said. Oh well, I should not be sad about it and trust God to work since you never know where the Spirit blows ... (never know when a person is the elect one - the Holy spirit works in Him to make him re-born)
Well, I am not writing this to boast about me being able to share the gospel, since it was God given chance. Just wanna share my personal struggle .. In terms of working, eventually I want to have my own business in the future .. That's my plan for the moment, work and save up a bit, then later open up something if God allows (my plan is not His plan I guess). I always believe and say to my friend that you have to be different as a Christian. You have to show God in all the things that you do .. Dare to say no to the world and yes to God. Hmm, I wonder how can I do that, since business world is so dirty, especially in indo. You know how it is, corruption, unclear taxation system, wild donation, and many many more. So I wonder if it is possible to be a christian and a businessman at the same time? I wonder what is my brother and sister in CHrist do in indo .. Are they being faithful to God or they do the same thing as the world does? It will be really sad if that is really the case ..
Any comment?

Farewell
I had a farewell party last night. Jimmy, one of my friend at IPC is going back to indo forgood today. It must be a hard thing for him and Jule (his girlfriend) to have a long distant relationship. They looked alright last night, laughing and being happy and all that, but you never know what is going on inside.
We were suppose to have BBQ yesterday at the Peak apartment, but it was cancelled. Instead, we gathered at Jule's place in Maroubra. That was actually the first time I went to her place. It was very nice, big and cozy, but it was a bit cold .. Maybe because it was raining last night and the weather was not nice at all, even now as I write this blog.
Jimmy picked me up along with all his brothers from Kingsford. We did not talk much last night since there were so many people came. The house was packed, people come and go, met some old friends from uni, a couple of new friends, IPC friends. At Jule's place we did not do anything beside eat and chat. I drank a glass of red wine and white wine each .. suprise2 I don't get the alergic reaction this morning. I guess if i don't drink that much it's ok, since I wasn't feeling dizzy/drunk at all last night.
Managed to have a meaningful conversation with some IPC friends. Asked them how they are going and talk about stuff, like the situation in indo right now, IPCYAF, future plans, christianity, work, the stuff that we hate, stuffs that we like .. I mentioned to my friends that I realized that I have a passion to be in a music team, since we were watching MTV awards last night from outside the TV room .. :) ... I always get excited everytime I see a good musicians playing their instrument .. It's just one of my passion I guess, even though I don't show it sometimes ...
One of the sad thing last night was one of IPC-ers broke Jimmy's camera .. That person had to replace that and I knew he was distressed about it .. In the end, IPC-ers gathered at Jule's room (there were many groups last night) with jule and jimmy (jimmy nyusul) .. wow .. her room is so clean man .. very Jule kali .. hehe .. and we chatted a bit and then go home. Jimmy is going to the airport today at 9AM. Really Wish him all the best in indo. Pray that he will also be zealous for God in indo despite all his busyness in helping his father doing his family business. Adios, we'll meet again Jim.
