Done!!

Fiuh .. finally I finished the exam and the busy work in the last block ... This block it should be much better than before ... I only do one subject and it's only once a week with 100% exam ... So it is quite risky, and the funny thing is the subject is called "risk management" ... haha ... talking about managing risk of my own .... But the subject is more familiar to me as a finance student, so I am glad to be doing it as my last subject at the university ....

I am a bit sad to be separated from my supply chain friends .... Some of them are quite close to me already since we do a lot of group work together ... Well, I wish you the best and I will definitely want to be invited for any dinner or drinks! hehe!

How Long O Lord

v1:
How long O Lord, will you forget,
An answer to my prayer.
No tokens of your love I see,
Your face is turned away from me,
I wrestle with despair.

v2:
How long O Lord will you forsake,
And leave me in this way.
When will you come to my relief,
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
Be even night and day.

v3:
How long O Lord, would you forgive,
With mercy from above.
I find that I always am blessed,
I learn to praise you
and to trust in your unfailing love.

Random thingy

Oh mann, university work is so busy ... A big fiuhhh for weekend ... 3 assignments every week this month is quite tough ... I just had a presentation today and all the reading that I have to do is too muchhhhhhh ... Gosh, it's frustrating .... Life is never easy I guess ... Speaking of which, exam is coming up and I am not ready at all ... I also need to finish lots of essays, read papers, mann ... I am hopeless .. ^_^

I am really looking forward to Paris though ... I am going there on the 23rd for 5 days .... Paris is kireiiiiiii (beautiful) ... Well the pictures in my travel book looks amazingggg ... hehehe ... Hope it can become a nice break for me and my friends ... I also wanna go to Belgium and German in November since I am quite free in that month .... Big plan, cost a lot, I am broke!! ^o^ ... December is the big plannn ... huhuhu ... 7 countries bo!!

Well, it's funny since I am overload with work these days and had little sleep this week and last week, my lecturer said something interesting in the lecture today ... it was a relationship between lead-times and capacity ... The bigger the capacity used in manufacturing firm, the longer the lead-time is ... If it is nearing 100% max capacity, the lead time can blow out to be really big ... it basically means things are produced or done much longer than it used to be .... That's exactly my situation I thought ....

Aside from that, I've been thinking quite a bit (as usual) ....

1. I guess I am worried too much about things I shouldn't worry about .... I am worried about what I am going to do next after master .... Should I stay? Should I go? Where? What about other things? Will I be ok? Will I stay faithful? I have no plan at the moment, as usual I go with the flow .... Is this good enough? Shouldn't I be more organized? Should I wait? Shouldn't I be more active instead of waiting? Will I get anything out of it? (it's all about I I I yah) .... Maybe the questions should be directed towards Christ Christ Christ .... Will Christ be glorified? Will Christ be honored? etc

2. I want to be strong .... really really really strong ......... no matter what people say .... strong from inside out ....

3. People is where they are right now because God wants them to be there to fulfill His purpose .... What we/I can do as human being is to find out what it is, and stick to it .... One day at a time living by faith ....

4. I sometimes imagine what if I am on the verge of death, and maybe you too ... hehe ... I wonder what will I find? hehehe ... closing my eyes, and I was scared of finding the world of unknown .... No no ... Jesus said I came back to the Father to provide rooms for you, that's a great comfort ... I guess I'll be going home then .... home .... sounds good !! :D .... I had the best description of heaven in church last week .... I had another impression before, but I guess the one in the church was more correct ... but who knows, it's not written in the bible ... In the bible it's written as a place with no more tears, and always be with God forever .... It's not written what we are going to do ... Whether the child who goes to heaven will actually grow up to be a man/woman or they stay as a kid? Whether we'll build a house over there? Whether we'll keep our profession? Is it like living on earth but God is with us and so close to us? Am I free to talk to say St. Peter or is it very militaristic that everyone has schedule to praise and worship God? hahaha ... I guess I've been thinking too much ... error error ....

Anyway, about the worries I don't think it is a problem anymore now .... In my quiet time a few days ago I remember a preacher saying in pemuda that he had big problems, but he surrender everything into His hands ... I did that and still doing that everyday ... it's a struggle for me and I guess for every christian too .. !!

Bye for now!! PS: will post more pictures later !! :)

ICF Church - sharing

I went to ICF for church service today, and it was a good service with excellent message ... It was about looking at life from heaven's perspectives and how all christians live as strangers in this world ... Heaven is home, etc etc ... One thing that strikes me the most from the sermon was this: In the same way/level of intensity that God the Father indwelled in Jesus before, so does the Son now indwells in me, and when the people who saw Jesus at that time saw the Father Himself, and so does now when people see me, they are suppose to see Jesus ... What strikes me the most is the parallellity between the two ... Now I am suppose to live as such that people can see Jesus in me just like Jesus lived before .. Before today, I thought that yes Jesus live in me and I have to show Him to others, but not thinking it would be the same as the Father live in Jesus and everyone who saw the Father also saw Jesus ...

Anyway, I also talked to two people today at church .... One person is called Bob (church elder) and the other I could not remember .... It was good sharings, God talks ... They both in my view are godly man who wants to do His will ... Bob was a quiet man, but his bible knowledge is awesome ... The wisdom kind of man I should say ... He is old, but never lose his composure, full of emotion (I saw him preaching once and mann he used lots of emotion in his preaching) ... Very low profile in church but a great servant and elder .... The other person lived far from the church and not a regular church members, but has been very active in sharing the gospel to the university students in his area, distribute tracts on the street, etc ... I can see his burden because he shared with me that Dutch nowadays just don't care about God ... He found that westerners (dutch) are not as opened as Asian when being evangelized on the street ...

I shared my experiences in Holland so far and the two of them understand and prayed that I will have a fruitful time here .... It was great! Really thanking God for my time at ICF today ...

War and suffering in africa

It is unimaginable to me when I watched news on CNN about the brutality of civil war in africa ... Women raped and tortured, children left without their parents, suffering everywhere, diseases ... This is the world that we live in and not just the happy world that I've been lucky to have experienced it so far ... It seems like two different realities to me, totally opposite of each other ...

*Feeling powerless* sighhhhhh ......
