Jeremiah 20
Jeremiah 20:9
9 But if I say, "I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,"
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.
*maju maju terus*

Giving
It is hard to give ... especially for me who comes from a chinese background and are currently in a situation where I need money to pay for my school fee ... It's not that I am in financial difficulties, I can still save up quite a bit, but then the problem is I always want to save more ...
Well, since I started doing my study, I've always been very stingy ... I don't give as much as I used to be for the work of the gospel coz I felt in need .... I counted the profit and loss, and counted how much I will save by the end of the year if I give and if I don't give ...
It's such a struggle especially when your salary is getting a lot bigger than it used to be ... Should I give or should I give less?
Talking about giving, I realize that everything comes from God .. When I give, I will make sure from now on that I give it with all my heart .... I want to be reminded everytime I give that I love God that's why I give .... That's what has been missing this year ... I wanted to save for the future, but forget that giving is such an important part in our Christian life ... sharing, giving to those in need, to gospel ministry and to your home chuch is important and God cares about us giving our money, time and whole lives to Him ...

Plan Plan Plan: my decision
When you go to an interview session, the interviewer usually ask you about your short term and long term plan ... It can be hard to answer given that our future is highly unpredictable and you can only answer it the best you can ...
Well, I have sort of decided about my short-term plan ... In just days, I've decided to pursue a possibility of going overseas for exchange student program next year (second semester) ... I am hoping to go to the U.S for 1/2 year if possible. It all seems good, but after looking into it more, it is hard to find universities that have "compatible" program to M.COM at UNSW... Most of them have an agreement with MBA from AGSM but not MCOM. I just have to wait and see after I meet the UNSW international exchange adviser ... If I can't go to US, I might go to Singapore or Canada ...
On the other note, there are so many people (3P = parents, prenz, and pastor) these days that tries to match me with someone ... :) ... Well, I have to thank all of you for perhatiannya ... It flatters me a lot on how much all of you care .. and yet, after thinking about it, I have also decided .... to remain single until I finish my study next year, fully concentrate on my potential .... to grow more, and to serve more .. Then I will seriously think about who I want to marry ... Is it going to be a bit too late? Maybe ... But I have decided that I am not going into any relationship if I don't think I fully commit to it ... So, end of next year will be serious beginning of hunting period ... haha :) .. Yoshh!
*God, man can plan but you decide everything. I surrender my short term plan into Your hands*

Another Weekend has passed!
Another weekend has ended in a flash...These last 2 weeks was pretty hectic, but I should be fine by next weekend (must do 1 more exam plus assignment worth 40% and 30%) ... At least I will have a space to breathe until the final exam ..
A couple of things:
1. Rose is going to Toraja next week (bener ga sih?) for 3 weeks ... wish u a safe trip deh rose if u r reading ... and also bisa jadi berkat disono ...
2. Andy is going back to indo soon, for good ... I think I am going to miss him ... I have seen so many of my friends come and go ... But everytime ada yg pergi pasti sedih ... especially Andy is part of my bible study and he is good friend, hard working, and very caring kali too ...
3. Jemy is back!! He is going to stay here in Sydney with his wife ... and will probably apply the job vacancy at where I work now as IT support ...
4. Got a lot of CD from Hilda ... wih I don't think I will have a chance to listen to them all .... so busy busy ... but thanks anyway Hil ...
5. I think I am glad for the difficulties that I faced in my life so far ... I thank God because through all that, I can understand people with similar problem a little bit better ... One person in my bible study faced a problem that I faced about 1 year ago and I can testify how hard it was ... Been there before ... and hence I could at least try to encourage him (in my own way) to consider Christ seriously ...
6. I need to submit the leave form tomorrow .. I must plan to take leave during my final exam and want to take 3 weeks holiday in December ... The queue is very long already and I should delay no more .... Otherwise, no going back to indo this December .. walaw!
7. Bible study prep today was fun ... I feel like wanted to learn more about God and the bible ... The people was very critical and have the same desire to learn ... Even though I gave the impression of being bored, but was quite excited .... How good is that, learning the bible together with my fellow bros and sis ...
8. Had group meeting with my 5514 group. Lots of things still need to be done to complete the assignment due this Thursday ... Fiuhhh .. mati matiii
9. Tomorrow is mid-session exam for 5510 ... I have read the book but haven't look at the tutorial ... Must start now!
Until then my blog ... *Jane my blog*
*Mada mada dane*(not yet) and *moto moto*(stronger and stronger) ...

Peaceful life on earth? There is no such thing
I used to live a peaceful life with other people .. I think it is a priviledge, but come to think of it, there is a flip side to it ... I am not used to be in conflict with other people .. I always tend to make peace straight away ...
Life is so full of conflict and whether I like it or not, whether I am ready or not, it will happen ... I remember a couple of years ago, someone was pissed off at me ... I did not do anything wrong, but still I ended up to be the one saying sorry ... My friend whom I consulted said that I shouldn't feel that way ... That incident taught me a lot how to face life ... If you are not strong, people will do those nasty things to you ... I might do the same without even realizing it ....
What about us living as children of God? We should try to live a peaceful life if it depends on us ... do our best in every situation and show that we are not a wimp ... Be strong and loving sometimes is hard, but possible !
