I apologise for not updating this blog for some time.. haha.. There are sooooo many things happened these few weeks, one of them was the Benny Hinn Crusade.

Unlike the previous holiday which i only went to Anggrek most of the time, this time i seldom go there. I got quite a chance to explore Jakarta this holiday. Thanks to Hana who drives me here and there.. ^^v

Alright. Benny Hinn "prayer for the nation restoration" crusade. I went to Carnaval Beach yesterday and there were A LOT of people. I'm not talking bout 5 thousands like that day in Singapore, it is hundred times more. It was stated about 1.5 million people!! It was craaaaaazzzyyyy! Healings, miracles, grace... I was very blessed. Even though it was tiring and the event was held outdoor in a burning afternoon til late at night, but God did not stop working. Imagine if God took a short rest. The event would turn out to be a chaos. I believe that the devil disliked it; he would work extra hard to break everyone's focus, so that everyone couldn't feel the awesome presence of God.

Look at the number of people present! (click to see the above picture more clearly)

The sea of people seeking God...

The stage

There were lots and lots of distractions during the praise and worship. There are disobey indonesians tried to jump over the fence in front of me to get into the VIP area, and i am not talking about one or two people. It was more than ten or perhaps more than twenty. OK, the condition is like this: i got a place in the very front row of the non-VIP section together with Yessy, my sister in Christ in the church. Because it was impossible to provide around 1,500,000 chairs, the non-VIP are required to sit on the ground, while the VIP people who received the invitation got to sit on chairs. And now, who the heck likes it when you try to worship God and people nudge you big time, say "excuse me", have their dirty feet over your shoulder, jump the fence right in front of you, land their feet on some sort of zinc, make the annoying banging sound, stop coz the security guards or the ushers catch their actions, stand stationary right in front of you and block your sight, refuse to go back to their place when you tell them so, watch carefully and seek a chance to jump when no ushers are looking. I mean, hello, the praise and worship have started and i am trying to have my heart focused on the LORD, so could you please accept the fact that you don't have the invitation and that you have to follow the rest of the non-VIP to sit on the ground?? The LORD is right there when you try to jump over the fence.. Aren't you ashamed??

"Being a Christian also means that you need to obey the rules!" said Yessy, who was annoyed big time. We tried to have our hearts and minds focused after that, and thank God, we receive the blessings we want. So many people are healed, including Victor Hutabarat and Melky Goeslow (indonesian artistes).. A lot of DEAF people are HEALED.. did you see that, sister?? Nothing is impossible when God takes over.

Prayer for the nation...

The performance...

The choir...

I am going to share some of the miracles. A ten-year-old boy named Moses has a problem with his heart and lungs. He had asthma. He could only walk a few metres away and that's it; he could hardly breathe. But yesterday, when he prayed and asked for a healing, he heard God said, "Run, Moses. Run!". He had faith in God and he ran, climbed the stairs, ran here and there. Praise the Lord!

For a long time, Melky Goeslaw, a singer, had a 4th stadium cancer. He came to the crusade and was healed. He sang two powerful songs, one of the two was composed by him. I hope that this miracle will bring about a unity in his family.

A person who came lying down hopelessly on a hospital bed, went home walking like normal.

A non-christian singaporean whom at first refused to come to the crusade, but in the end flew to Jakarta because his children continually pleaded him, received the healing, and more importantly, the salvation.

There were more! Like deaf people healed, blind people healed, limping people healed, etc...

Benny Hinn prayed for the sick

Benny Hinn

God is good, and his time is perfect. All the glory, honour and praise be unto God. Praise the Lord!

Helloww... guyss.. now i can't surf the Internet daily, coz now I'm in Jakarta.. It's not that the internet here is slow or wadever (ya its slower then singapore's but im fine with it.. its not too slow, anyway..), it's just that.. DAD ALWAYS USES THE COMP!! Grrr!!! I'm fine if he uses it to work, but the fact is, HE PLAYS THE COMPUTER GAMESS!! and the duration is not one or two minutes, he takes HOURS! -.- Now, if the condition is like this, can anyone tell me who to blame? my dad? or IT people who invented the game?

ANyway, moving on from daddy's talk, let's discuss the CAMP..!! HAHA!

Did i tell you earlier that i hate camps and wished not to go for it?

Honestly speaking, i kinda enjoyed the 3 days 2 nights event.. LOL.. I was the Co Facilitator -.- and that was the first time i became a gl.. jadi gini loh, gimana yah? ah susah ngomongnya. Pokoke gw tuh orang penting d di grup itu.. And yes, Douglas was right: It is always nice to be the most important person in the group.. LOL. And there is 1 thing i wud like to say: ---that was the best camp in my life so far--- Dunno how to put it in one para la.. i prefer talk than type. lol apalagi kalo ngomong pake indo.. wahh.. best deh!

International Connection Camp 2006

Neways, Kyknya gw ngerasa si itu ngebacain blog gw regularly deh.. wahh gawad!! Mesti post pake indo.. Huwahaha... dia kan ga ngerti bahasa indo.. ckck.. payah deh.. padahal bahasa kita kan boleh dibilang kerenn (duh ini narsis apa chauvinist?)

Back to English. The results are out! Yeahhh!! I got a DI for Freehand Drawing! Huh.. Why not DI for all?? LOL.. Human beings.. never satisfied -.- Yea.. DI for FreDr, A for NMM, B+ for Communication Skills (what?? Listen people! Communicationnn Skills!! LOL) and B for Econs, Stats, and Accounting... Huhuhu.. Kinda sadd... I should get an A for statistics and B+ for accounting!! Aaarrgghh!! Poor me, must have scored quite badly in the exams.. T_T

Anyway, yesterday my relatives from Beijing, China, came to Jakarta and my cousin organised a feast to celebrate their visit (cum his birthday). They are families from my dad's side. Ok lemme put it this way.. They are my paternal grandmother's sister's sons and daughter. Goddit? Lol. Being born and bred in China for over 20 years, they cant speak bahasa indonesia, not even english!~ And guess what?? Thinking that LOUisa has been living in Singapore for almost four years, my aunts and uncles thought that I can speak MAnDARInn!! ~_~ they forced me to sit near them and talk to them, and be their interpreter when needed.

i was like.. oh my! what on earth??

oh-K. tell u the ReaL REAL truth: I Cant Speak Mandarin!! Living in Singapore is not helping. Why? Coz i dont use that language! I learnt it for years, but whats the point when you dont use it? But yea, i am forced to LISTEN when my friends talk, that helps a little.

Err.. No. That does not help! Why? Beijing people speak like there is something on their tongue. It was accenteddd!! ~_~ Instead of na li, they say na er.. their 'zhang' is heavy, not like singaporeans who say 'zhang' like 'chang'. X_x

Serious, Singaporeans are good in making languages a lot easier.

Alrites. I told my aunts that i cant speak mandarin. And guess what? Then they all didnt believe me coz i talked to the guests initially, like.. : ni men shen me shi hou hui qu? (ok wadever, forgive me if my pinyin sux.) But that was just a super basic mandarin! And because of that, they think i was a pro in mandarin.. ohh.. but thank God, my mum was there. She was the only one who talked to them that day. Lol. I guess that's because she was the only one with the most fluent mandarin in the club. Haha! My paternal families cannot speak mandarin. It's true that they are 'huaqiao's, and my paternal grandmother can speak mandarin (although not really fluently), but my granddad couldnt. My granddad was soo old he went to school during the dutch occupation, and this resulted in him being able to speak dutch (and not mandarin).

So, is Dutch + Mandarin = Bahasa Indonesia?

Lol.

Yoz... yesterday i couldnt blog.. dunno what went wrong with blogger.com.. hehez.. neways.. yup.. yesterday was another TP Indonesian Union Gathering!! We went for a steamboat at Marina Bay.. as i have said earlier, it was ok, the fun was not like the previous gathering, when we had a BBQ.

Steamboat in Marina South

Not all Indonesians in TP attended the gathering, though.. there were only 19 of us.., and we invited ppl from other schools as well.

So.. yup yup.. gimana yah? beda de.. ga ada Sisil, ga ada Wasis, ga ada dodi, ga ishin sama cindy, ga ada.. err.. banyak de yang ga datengg.. hik hik.. sedihnyaa.. yahh tapi overall steamboatnya went quite well lahh.. the most surprising fact is: i wasn't full at all!! Serious! Trakhir gw pegi steamboat bareng Ruben, kenyangnya bukan maen!! Tp koq kali ini gw gak ngerasa kenyang ya? And now im starting to get really worried.. usus gw makin panjang kah? >.< parah ye? itulah anak2 indo.. doyannya ngarettt...

Heyaa!!

Hehe.. how come louisa updates her blog everyday now?? Lol. Simple, folks.. coz i'm on holidayyy!! HAHA!

Ok. I went out with Erni today.. okay, yesterday (it's past midnight liaos~), and guess what, i wore a skirt today!! HAHA! Alrites.. you hardly see me wearing skirts rite? In fact, i have never once worn a skirt to Temasek Poly before.. Lol. I prefer jeans though.. for some reasons >_<

Ok. Erni went to find out about make up and beauty course in one of beauty schools in Far East Plaza. She seemed to be very interested in attending the course, and I am sure that she is gonna take it up.. Positive! (no bets, though.. haha) Sigh.. i also wanna go!! The make up and beauty course looked interesting. people there were having fun, and the modules are super cool. They even teach you how to be a beauty consultant, how to do a business in this field (beauty clinics, etc).. i mean, it's really beyond the skills itself.. the modules also include physics, chemistry, human anatomy, psychology... Oh dearr.. Ok, i understand that you should learn human anatomy to be a beautician, but physics? chemistry? I asked them why should we learn chem, and the person said, "you need to know the ingredients of beauty products".. Man! I really didn't think about this! You mean we are gonna mix up some chemicals and create our own beauty products?? That's way too cool!! But anyways, there's no way i can go to this school, even as a part time student. Lol. My workload in the polytechnic is already killing me. ~_~

Umm.. later, in the afternoon, i have to attend a club meeting.. sigh.. i think it's about the game trials for the upcoming camp.. gaaahh!! ~_~ why on earth should i go to school during holiday time?? I feel like going back to indo as soon as possible, coz if i am in jakarta, i will have a VERY VALID reason not to come to school! Lol. Well, well, why the heck am i complaining?? CCAs are not compulsory in TP, why are you complaining, Louisa?? Who asked you to join a lot of CCAs?? Alrites. It's all my fault, exactly.

Neways, i have already had a plan of what will i do to spend my days in Jakarta besides having a driving lesson. What is it?? *drum beating* Hold your breath, guys... coz I.. will.. be... helping out in a dental clinic!!! Huh? what? what did you say?? dental clinic??? NO WAYY!! You dont even know what are those dental tools that dentists use! You dont even know a single thing about teeth!! But yeah.. dental clinic! HEHE! It's voluntary, though. No salaries. Purely a voluntary work. And oh, I dont need to know anything about teeth! It's not my jobbb.. i am not the dentist, okay?? What i will learn is basically about dental tools, how to mix up this and that to make a 'mixture' (i dunno the name laa.. later i will know, hehe) to cover the patients' cavities.. yepss! Hehehe...

*my goodness,, i pity the dentist who will have louisa* LOL.

i heard that.
