Kaki Pelangi
: Louisa Zephania
telah terlukis dalam hati sebuah jejak kaki
dimana sudutnya berona warna-warni, tinggi
juga besar merupa tempat berlindung terhadap matahari
dan ketika hujan pun turun tiba-tiba, akan terjadi
sebuah lukisan yang tak habis diterjemahkan: pelangi

How Creative Are You?
| at 12:35 AM
I did another test called CREATIVITY TEST....... How creative are you... and here's the answer:
| You Are 73% Creative |
You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times. |
Uh oh... Beyond creative? ~_~ And please dont say im a true artist.... i feel as if i wanna break down and cry.... i am a business IT student, mind you! not a designer.
ok i may wanna be a website designer. i may, i said.
From Town to Arab St.
| at 12:23 PM
Yesterday night was so fun, I walked (yes, on foot) from Town to Arab Street. Thanks to Tay Jia Liang, a friend of mine.
The story began when I was so bored at home, depressed with one handicraft that I wanted to do (see below post and you will know why I am depressed). I thought it would be good to make it and give it as a birthday gift, but then I was stucked in the middle and forced to stop and throw whatever things I had done. So happened that at the moment, Jialiang was online and he asked me whether I wanna chill. I said, why not? So I stopped working with the stupid handicraft (which in the end I just bought a gift instead) and went to see him.
We just had our dinner (a Korean Cuisine) in GrEAT TrEAT food court in Le Meridien, then walked to somewhere near Arab Street for a dessert. He said there was this dessert shop called Pluck, an ice-cream indulgement place. So we went there and along the way, he showed me places of where to shop for a second hand jeans from Japan, and expensive boutiques opened up by potential artists from either Lasalle or NAFA students, where to rent ANY costumes, and many others. We finally reached Pluck, but sadly, we found that the shop was already closed. But Jia Liang (again) spilled out some gossips like there are 2 helpers inside the shop, a guy and a girl, and they are actually a couple. The shop is opened by the girl's sister, and inside it was so artistic and cozy, it was really cool. Girls usually love to hang out there.
Then we walked back, and stopped at another dessert place called Black Pitch. We found out that Black Pitch actually offers movie screenings apart from just desserts. They show arts productions, and have different themes each week. This week, they have musicals. I looked at their schedules and they show things like Cabaret, West Side Story, etc. Next week will be all shows from this Indian Producer I dont know whos the name is, and the following week will be all fashion concept shows. To watch, you have to make reservations. Pretty cool huh?
We went home after splurging on drinks, and we walked to Bugis Station. Along the way, Jia Liang told me lots of intersting facts, including Parkview Square's misconstruction and the flying bartender. It was pretty fascinating. Another thing were facts related to the knife-blade lookalike buildings in bugis, and a budget hotel nearby. All Facts, and not just plain old-folks story. Seriously speaking, I think he will make a good tour-guide. Lol.
Jialiang is one cool knowledgeable guy. Go and chill out with him and you will know lots of new interesting stuff, unless you yourself is just as knowledgeable as him.
Ide
| at 1:25 AM
Kalo kita lagi niat, nyadar gak sih kadang buanyak banget ide2 gila bermunculan di kepala? Dan saat ide2 itu nongol bak tamu nggak diundang tapi diharapkan, meski tuh ide super gelo dan susah banget dikerjain, kita tetep aja bilang, "aahh.. pasti bisa, asal niat aja. When there's a will, there's a way..."
Emang bener sih, gw gak anti sama kata2 itu, tapi kadang, perlu gak sih kita mikir... apa bener itu ide bener2 doable, apa bener kita sanggup ngerjain ide2 tersebut??? Soalnya nih ya, kalo itu ide di luar batas kemampuan kita, chances are, kita bakal berhenti di tengah jalan.
Contoh. Waktu bikin proyek OTBS. Disuruh bikin word games nih. Saat itu banyak banget ide2 berhamburan di mana2... Ide2 menarik dan unik kayak scoring system, yang pada mulanya ada 10 di tangan player 1, player 2 harus berusaha nyolong sebanyak mungkin points dari player 1, sedangkan player 1 harus retain as many points as possible. Cara nyolong dan cara retain? Mainin kata2 di gamesnya. Kedengerannya seru banget, ditambah alur cerita di games itu yang temanya gw bikin sbg perampokan rumah seorang saudagar kaya, dll. Gw tau semua itu bakal bikin lecturers gw terpana. Tapi sayang, untuk ngebuat ide2 tersebut jadi realita, diperlukan kemampuan. Apakah gua punya necessary programming skills to make everything real and working, not just plain ideas? Sayangnya nggak.
Masih banyak lagi ide2 yang kadang bikin gw sendiri terkagum2, tapi sayang, semua itu hanyalah sebuah ide, yang pada ujungnya nggak pernah terselesaikan. Bukan karena gw males, tapi karena gw selalu berhenti di tengah jalan, yang pada awalnya disebabkan oleh kurangnya keahlian atau keterampilan untuk membuat segalanya menjadi mungkin.
Dan menurut gw, hal itu sangatlah menyebalkan.
Janji sebagai alasan
| at 2:26 PM
Gue sebel laaaahhhhh.... jadi orang koq gitu banget... masa dia yang janji gw yang harus tepatin? gw yang harus ngalah??? yang janji siapaaaa??????
dia janji ke orang laen, tapi untuk menepati janjinya dia itu, dia harus minjem laptop gw. dan parahnya, pas dia janji, dia gak konsul2 dulu ke gw, maen janji aja.
masalahnya bukan apa2... sekarang nyatanya gw gak bisa nepatin janjinya dia, karna gw harus bikin tugas gw yang kumpulnya jumat pagi. EEEEEEEEEeeehhhh dia gak tau diri malah marah2 ke gw, bilang gw harus ngalah lah karna kmaren uda janji... YANG JANJI KAN DIA!!! salah sendiri dia janji2 ke orang laen nggak bilang2 gw dulu.. janji dia kan melibatkan laptop gw, harusnya dia bilang2 dulu donk k gw sebelum janji!!
masa demi menepati janji dia ke orang laen, gw harus rela berkorban nggak bikin tugas??????
gw gak habis pikir. koq ada orang sekonyol itu???????
sebeeel... pake melibatkan senioritas segala.. jangan mentang2 dia lebi tua bisa seenaknya aja nyuruh2 gw ngalah... eh bukannya karna dia lebi tua dia harusnya lebih dewasa ya? ngalah donk mbak!!!! halahh.... ada mereka malah gak ada damai sejahtera. harusnya mereka gak usa dateng aja.
Stories that left unspoken.
| at 12:18 PM
Dalah kegaduhan, hati yang dihantam badai,
teleponku selalu berdering, my friends are calling.
Punya temen emang enak, karena kita bisa tertawa.
Bayangin kalo gak ada temen, mo ketawa sama siapa hayo?
Tapi kadang kita suka nggak mau terbuka. Kayak gw misalnya.
Susah banget buat gw untuk cerita.
Oke, mungkin kalo cerita tentang hal2 menarik ato lucu, gw bisa.
Tapi buat masalah yang menyangkut pribadi ato personal,
susah banget.
Banyak orang dari dulu selalu bilang,
"Sa, kalo ada masalah bilang aja, gw bakal bantuin selama gw bisa. Lu tuh uda gw anggep kayak ade gw sendiri sa" -dhanu
"Feel free to contact me if you have any problem ya" -ce san2
"If you have any problem, just share it here. Pasti dibantu." -wil
"Why? we are your family here in Singapore.." -jesher
"You can talk about anything to us" -ben
Masi banyak yang bilang hal2 serupa, tapi gw gak pernah bisa buat cerita.
Kenapa??
Ulang Tahunku
| at 1:01 AM
Bulan July:
Bulan ini adalah bulan yang cukup menyenangkan, mengingat ulang tahunku jatuh pada bulan ini. Ada banyak hal yang mengharukan terjadi, banyak pribadi yang perlu diucapkan terima kasih, banyak situasi yang menjadikan segala sesuatunya sempurna.
Terence dan Peilin
Beberapa minggu sebelum gw ultah, Terence sms. Dia bilang dia ma Peilin mau ngajak ktemuan pas tanggal 11. Gw ayoin aja. Peilin, Jesher, Terence, Sweekee dan kawan2 itu tuh temen gaul gw di TP. Merekalah anak2 yang bikin masa2 poly gw tak terlupakan. Mereka orang2 yang selalu punya semua ide2 gila di kepala mereka. Gaul sama mereka pokoknya gak ada matinya. Mereka juga orang2 yang mau ngedengerin masalah2 gue, saat suka dan duka mereka temenin gw.
Jadi tanggal 11, booked. Gue sebel juga sih karna ultah gw jatoh saat gw harus kerja. Tapi abis kerja gw bisa ketemu anak2, gw seneng juga.
Shana dan Fadzli
Shana dan Fadzli adalah 2 orang teman terdekat gue di DBS. Mereka berdua sama2 anak TP, sama2 anak BIT, sama2 internship di DBS, sama2 mengalami suka duka seorang intern. Kalo lagi kerja, kita suka belaga2 ria, belaga jadi manager, belaga jadi tentara (ini paling sering), belaga macem2 dari cara2 kita berbicara lewat email.
Contoh 1 (lunch bareng):
Importance: High
“Dear Managers,
Please confirm the time and venue for our appointment this afternoon. The main purpose for this discussion is to meet the hunger demand of our valuable customers.
Kindly revert back your availability by replying to this email. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Best regards,
Louisa Zephania
President
XXX Bank Ltd.
Contoh 2 (ketemuan di lounge):
“Arm your weapons. Intruders expected. Bridgitised at sixteen hundred.”
“Save to move now. Sector clear. Assemble at rendezvous point.”
“Brigitisation accomplished.”
Hehhe. Seru? Muahahaha saking boringnya kerja, itulah yang sering kita lakukan. Kadang kita maen hangman lewat email, ato tiap orang kontribusi 3 huruf, dan bikin cerita horror misalnya. Ngantor jadi lebih seru kalo kita punya partner email yang juga sama gak jelasnya kayak Fadzli.
Temen2 di DBS juga ngerencanain buat makan di hari ultah gw pas pulang kerja. Tapi sayang, tanggal 11 uda gw reserved buat Peilin dan kawan2.
Andrianto dan Ko Menthol
Andrianto telepon beberapa hari setelah Terence. Dia ngajakin “nego” berhubung ultah kita sama2 di bulan July. Dia pengen gw ma dia patungan traktirin anak2 FA. Gw sih ok2 aja, soalnya tanggal 11 gw juga gak bisa.....
Hari minggu, pas ketemu Ko menthol (my cell leader), dia nanya, “Louisa, tanggal 11 mau makan di mana?” seperti biasa, kalo ada anak FA yang ulang taon, kita pasti selalu makan2. Gue yang uda ngerencanain ngrayain bareng Andri, gak tau juga gimana mau kasi tau ko menthol. Tapi akhirnya gw dan Andri bilang, dan sepertinya ko hendra agak gak mau kalo gw ma Andri yang traktir. Dia mau supaya dia sendiri yang traktir, karna dia uda berpenghasilan. Heheh. Sayang lagi, tanggal 11 uda gw reserved.
As what I may have said, too many friends, fighting for one stupid day.
Tanggal 9 July malam / 10 subuh
Gue chat ma Peilin, and to make the story short, dia batalin acara ketemuan di ultah gw. Gw gak marah sih, tapi gw jadi moody. Bete abis. Tau gitu gw iya-in ko menthol. Tau gitu gw iya-in Shana. Semua gw tolak gara2 Peilin CS. Kalo boleh jujur, gue keseeeeelll banget. Tapi gw belaga tegar. Gw sok kuat, gw bilang gapapa, kalo lu orang pada busy ya uda gak usa dipaksain.... Gue bilang ma temen gw yang laen lagi kalo its not a big deal. Padahal bagi gw sih its kind of big. Dalam hati gw sedih, sediih banget.
Gue sms shana jem 1an. Gw komplen ke dia, untung dia mo ngedengerin, padahal uda jem 1. Shana itu paling mau mengerti gue. Gw bersyukur punya temen kayak dia...
Tanggal 11.
The D day.
SMS di pagi hari.
Bangun tidur, gw nerima belasan sms ucapan selamat ulang tahun. Tapi yang paling surprise itu SMS dari Lionel. LIONEL!!! Bused... sejak kapan tu orang tau ultah gue?????? Xiu Hui juga... hebat ya mereka.. heheh. Lionel malah dateng ke DBS bank buat ngasi kado, plus kirim kartu ulang taon pake POS!!! Ckckckck...... terharu gw. Xiu Hui malah ngajak gw makan malem gitu.. wahhhh kalian semuaaa....
Ancaman Overtime.
Jem 18:16 Max (project coordinator gw) telepon. “Louisa, if you are free, can you come up now?”
Wuaduh, OT lagi !!! Ogah!! Hari ini gw ultah! Gw gak mo OT!!
“Err.. actually I can’t, I have a dinner appointment later...”
Akhirnya dengan teknik appointment, gw dibolehin untuk meninggalkan kantor....
Pesta di malam hari.
Ada Fadzli. Ada Shana. Ada Su Ling. Ada Shahirah. Ada Kue. Ada makanan. Ada hadiah. Ada Louisa. Ada canda. Ada tawa. Ada senyuman. Ada kenangan.
Terima kasih, teman. Kalian sangatlah berharga.
Kejutan di rumah.
Orang2 rumah gw gak tau kalo gw ultah. Mereka gak pernah inget. Dalam perjalanan ke rumah, gw nerima 3 miskol. From a special friend. Gw da panik... nah lo... nah lo... gw gak denger ada telpon!!! Kan lagi asik2nya ngejayus ma anak2 TP.... Di rumah, gw ngeliat ada sebuah kado tergeletak cantik di atas meja (kiasan doang, biasa aja sih, huwahah). Isinya ada sebuah kartu dan... erm... sebuah hadiah. Duh.... Selebihnya rahasia.... Huehehehe.
Ucapan terima kasih
Terima kasih semuanya, kalian sangat-sangat berarti buatku.

You make my days in TP more meaningful :)
THANKS!!!
Day of The LORD
| at 11:08 AM
I spent almost all of my time in church today, enjoying the presence of God.
7am - 9am : Youth Dawn Prayer
10am - 1pm: Starbucks Coffee
2pm - 5pm: BCS Workers' Prayer Meeting
5pm - 7:30pm: Heart of God Church Service
and I was totally blessed!!!
At the Dawn Prayer, i was reminded to keep on praying for my family. extended family. More than half a decade ago, my extended family has always been hauled with problems. There will never be times where all of us can be one big family, living in harmony. Never. Instead, there would only be arrogance, defamations, lies, backstabs, and so on. The reason? I am not really sure myself. Brother Bonar said that in Christ, there is hope. God can do great and mighty things, even if we think that such things are impossible to happen. But who am I to assume? The future lies in Him, and believing Him is the key to the freedom. I put my trusts on God alone and I believe that restorations will happen in my family. My family will be walking together hand-in-hand towards the finishing line, with God as the leader. Yes, Lord. I demand the restoration!
Workers' Prayer Meeting was awesome!!!! Super duper awesome!!! Serious!! I received the anointing once again. Holy Spirit was and is undescribable! All things involving that Special One is just miraculous and beyond my thoughts. I thought I knew Him and I have been with Him for so long, but today I saw something that's super amazing to me. It felt as if I just knew Him. I become so totally all over Him, my Jesus. I think I am falling in love harder than the first time. I promise I will spend quality time with Him even more than the usual.
Heart of God service was also great. It taught me, as part of the Joshua Generation, to unite with the older generations. Malachi 4:6. When two or more generations unite, the Holy Spirit is real and God will do even greater things that each one of us could ever imagine. Can you believe that? More miracles!!! See Mary and Elizabeth? Two different generations united, and the results? Awesome!!!
Personality Test
| at 9:17 PM
I just took an online personality test and I think the result is pretty close to my ownself. It's kind of cool and let me just post this, alrites?
| You Are An INFP |
The Idealist You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world. Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships. It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close. But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop. In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards. You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings. At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values. You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist. How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual. When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak. |
Dawn Prayer
| at 2:41 AM
Hari ini hari sabtu, dan pagi ini gw ke dawn prayer (lagi). Entah kenapa gue jadi tertarik buat dateng ke doa jam 7 pagi itu. Jadi gelap2 gue uda jalan ke bus stop buat menuju ke OHGS.
Di sana gue ngerasa roh gue di-recharged lagi. Kadang kita perlu banget buat minum air hidup itu. Bukan kadang sih, tapi tiap hari. Tapi entah kenapa, waktu gue saat teduh, yang gue dapet itu jauh lebi dikit dari saat2 gue dateng ke doa2 bareng kayak dawn prayer gitu. Mungkin tingkat kedisiplinan gue yang kurang kali ya.. waktu saat teduh mungkin gue pengennya cepet2 kelar ato gimana....
Nah saat bagian sharing2 gitu, Ko Omar tanya, apa sih yang bikin kita dateng ke dawn prayer? Jujur aja nih, sabtu pagi itu tuh adalah satu2nya hari dalam seminggu di mana gue bisa bangun siang. Dan terus terang aja, waktu paling berharga itu adalah waktu2 di mana gue bisa tidur pulas sampe puas. Dulu, gue selalu bangun siang banget, jadi bangun2 bisa langsung lunch, dan gue sangat menikmatinya. Pas gue uda kerja, gak ada lagi masa2 bangun siang. Dari senin sampe jumat, gue harus bangun pagi. Jadi sabtu adalah hari paling berharga yang gue miliki. Tapi, saat paling berharga buat gw catch up sama waktu tidur gw (sabtu pagi) harus gw korbankan kalo gue mao dateng ke dawn prayer.
Kenapa sih gue bela2in dateng buat dawn prayer? Kalo dipikir2 yah, mulai jem 7, berarti gue harus bangun paling telat jem setengah 6. Ngapainnnn??? Lu kan tau sendiri betapa gue sangat menikmati bangun jam 1 siang....
Mungkin kalo ditanya alasannya, ada banyak hal yang berbau rohani yang bakalan gw jawab. Klasik. Tapi kalo gue boleh jujur, gue bener2 ngerasa kalo gue harus kudu dateng ke dawn prayer, gue harus ngorbanin sesuatu yang menurut gw berharga banget buat Tuhan. Kenapa? Karna gue mau belajar mencintaiNya. Satu-satunya alasan kenapa gue bisa kuat dan nggak komplen adalah karna gue mau kasih yang terbaik buat Tuhan. Gue udah terlalu sering ngegombal, bilang cinta sama Tuhan, gue mau hati Tuhan disenangkan, dll dsb dst. Tapi buktinya mana? Gue ngedosa iya, tobat juga ga sepenuh hati. Cape gak sih? Kepikiran gak sih kalo sekarang ini saatnya kita semua pada bangkit?
Dan lagi, kalo misalnya gue jadi orang tua, apa sih yang bakal gue rasain kalo misalnya anak gue ngasih gue sesuatu yang gue tau berharga banget buat dia? Apa sih yang bakal gue rasain kalo anak gue rela ngelepasin barang yang berharga banget (mainan kesayangan misalnya) buat gue cuma karna dia pengen hati gue seneng? Man... kalo gw ada di posisi orang tua itu, gue pasti bakal terharu banget dan nganggep anak gue tuh malaikat. Begitu juga dengan Tuhan. Waktu tidur di sabtu pagi adalah sesuatu yang menurut gw berharga banget dan sayang banget kalo gw relain gitu aja. Tapi gue mau korbanin itu semua buat Tuhan karna gw pengen hatiNya disenangkan.
Kita selalu minta buat revival, tapi revival itu gak bakal terjadi kalo kita nggak lebih dulu memulai. Temen gue pernah bilang, kita nggak boleh cuma nunggu2 dari Tuhan doang tapi nggak ngelakuin apa2. We are the ones who roll the ball, God is the one who keeps the ball rolling. Gitu... Jadi, kalo kita males2an terus, gak bisa bangun lah, apa lah.. yah elah.. kapan mulainya revival itu??
Itu juga salah satu alasan gue ikut dawn prayer sih: Latihan bangun pagi. Kalo di indo, nyokap pasti ngoceh2 kalo gue bangun siang. Emang sih, kalo dipikir2, sayang juga bo hari dilewatin cuma buat tidur. Tuhan ciptain hari itu buat kita ngelakuin perkara2 dahsyat, lah kalo kita tidur aja kapan kita mau memberkati orang? Dulu gue selalu minta supaya gue bisa jadi tentara Tuhan yang gak kenal gentar. Mana ada tentara yang bangun siang2?? Iya gak sih? Tentara itu kan siap sedia kapanpun di manapun, tiap hari kerjaannya bergerilya ke sana ke sini... Bukan tidur. Lagian kalo kita mulai hari kita dengan ketemu Tuhan di pagi hari, pikiran kita jadi lebih awas. Lebih alert lah istilahnya. Bukan tentara kesiangan kayak yang tadi gue sebutin itu.
Buat temen2 yang ngebaca post ini, gue sangat mengundang kalian yang masih muda untuk ikut dawn prayer, Sabtu jem 7 pagi di Orchard House of God (Singapore). Ada banyak berkat yang bisa kita dapetin, yang gak bakalan bisa kita terima kalo kita cuma males2an aja di sabtu pagi.
Hey PEEPS!!!
| at 11:52 AM
Finally, I can log in to BLOGSPOT again!!!! Lol.
Therefore, I'm gonna do what i used to do: BLOGGING.
Yeah. its been an extremely long time ever since the last time i blogged. wow! 2 months? Lol. Oh well.. i nearly dont know what to write now... serious. too many things to tell yet too little mood to type. lol.
1. On Internship
i am currently doing my internship in DBS Bank, and I'm posted under CBG (Consumer Banking Group), Sales Incentives Department. Its been rather boring as my jobscope is mainly on payment processing, but hey, at least i know what im doing. Besides the boring excel spreadsheets to work on everyday, I am also involved in developing the regional dept's Intranet Pub and thats stressful!! Alrights. STRESSFUL!! i am not new to web development, but sadly, i am not doing the aesthetic or html. what i do is the site management which i hate. I feel so stupid when it comes to intranet. why? becoz we are doing this as a joint project with other business units in the department, which includes working with other interns. and what stupid is, they start comparing my capability with other interns. and let me tell you this: i am the only poly intern being involved in the project, and the rest of the interns i am working with (and being compared with) are university students!! So please be civil and stop comparing me with them coz firstly, they are older, and secondly, they are pursuing a degree! Sigh. i dont know why. i hate to know less than them. but on the other hand, theres nothing much i can do. man. i cant wait to get this project over and done with.
2. On Church
Bible camp is just over two weeks ago and everything was awesome! We are getting more and more undignified for God! The only thing that im so sorry for is that it needs to end.........
3. On Friendship
Did i tell you before that I have no best friend? Well, i guess i'm starting to break that perception. Im getting more and more comfortable with Shana, and i can tell her my problems, ask for her opinions, tell her everything, anything, basically all things under the sun. I'm starting to be more open to her, and I think we will be best of friends. Shahirah too. But too bad shahirah works in a different company so cant really meet her that often. good thing is, shana is a convert so we share the same belief. Thank God.
Other stuff will be updated soon. Thanks for reading.
on updates.....
| at 1:00 PM
to all readers...... blogger.com is getting really slow when i load it in my home PC, updates will be posted anytime soon. sorry and thank you.hahahaha so formal for what?but yeah, blogger.com is really sucked up in my home pc.. im now posting it in school comp.. but guess when will i be in school again? hmmm......
CAR ACCIDENT
| at 3:13 PM
CRAZY!!!
I almost died. LITERALLY DIED on a CAR ACCIDENT.
That Comfort Taxi driver was extremely reckless. I would have already been in a hospital if that driver stepped on the brakes A LITTLE LATER. Seriously!! It already hit me, but mildly. My fingers touched the car. I was so shocked and traumatized... The thing is, I DID NOT JAY-WALK. I crossed the road when the light was green.
Seriously. I am now starting to be a good citizen (yeah rite. Good Indonesian citizen following good singapore citizens manners, what nonsense). The light was GREEN!!! So I happily crossed the road without looking to the left and right. Suddenly someone honked at me. That taxi. The driver stepped on the brake and the blue vehicle stopped exactly beside me, with its front touching my hand and pushing me a few centimetres away to the other side. I was damn shocked. I looked at the traffic light. Eh? Correct what... green for pedestrians to cross the road, and red for the vehicles. But where did this vehicle come from?? How come it was moving when the light was red??? Then I looked at the driver. The driver looked at the light. Green light. Then he just put up his right hand and nodded his head a bit, as if he is apologising. HELLO!! You almost took my life away! And my exams will start in 2 days time, what can an apology do if I were about to be hospitalised because of your reckless act???
In the bus, I felt like I should have taken his plate number, and complain to Comfort Del Gro. Who knows I might get cab reimbursements for one whole year as an expense of its reckless driver who almost cost my life. Shiok....!! Heheh.
But on the other hand, someone kept on saying, "forgive him... forgive him... forgive him just as God has forgiven you." Whoahh.. Yea...
HEY CAB DRIVER!! YOU ARE FORGIVEN!!!! :)
Hahahaha..... Anyway.. what a thrill. I realised that no matter how far I was away from God, He would still be there to protect me. I know that if God did not care about me, I may have already in the hospital by now. My grandma would cancel her flight, and I could not take the exams in school. What a life. But God is always there by my side. No matter what happens, He will still be the One who protects me and stays beside me. Thank you, Holy Spirit.... :)
OTBS!
| at 10:06 AM
Heya! Its been soooooooooooo LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONnngggggggggggg ever since the last time I posted... Been busy with school and other stuff.... Church... Sunshine... exams and projects. Sigh.
Yeaaa...
On Monday, I had dinner with Wasis, Yusrin, Dodi, Frida, and Klara... Wasis just came from Melbourne.. He didnt inform us earlier la aiya.. he just suddenly out of nowhere popped in my MSN window and asked "Louisa besok maen badminton yuk di TP (Trans: Louisa, let's play badminton in TP tomorrow)"... I was like.. huh? TP? Aren't you in Melbourne, Sis? Lol. Ternyata oh ternyata... Then he changed the plan to dinner coz me and Dodi finish our class at 6pm and we are just too lazy to play badminton in such a late hour. Lol. We had dinner in Terra, Bugis Junction. Before we even looked at the menu, I jokingly said, "gw bokek nih Sis.. traktirin donk! (Trans: I'm broke, you treat me ok?)" Huwahahaha.. And he really did (O.o) He just nod his head. I was like.. what does a nod mean? He said it was his birthday on the 3rd of Feb, so he will treat us. Haha happy belated bday, Sis.. Moga2 panjang umur en diberkati melimpah2 sama Tuhan YME. Amin.
Yesterday I stayed in school til extremely late due to the OTBS project. I just left the computer lab at 10pm plus plus when the officer came after us and chased us out as the labs are closing soon. OTBS is supposed to be a fun subject.. It is a programming based subject that allows us to make full use of open technologies. Example: I'm now using blogger.com rite? Ok. Imagine I'm not using blogger.com, but using my own engine that I developed from scratch, how cool is that? And we were taught to develop our own word game as well.. and I got A for that.. Lol. Not because my codes are fantastic... I seriously have no idea why I got such a high mark for my individual assignment (the word game that I developed). I think its because of my design or my delivery.. All I know is that I should thank God for it. God played an enormous role in finishing the entire project. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 'C' coz my codes are like sh*t. I mean, seriously, they dont even work. They only work properly for the hints sections.. Other than that, whether your guess of word is correct or wrong, it will still give you nothing and the programme will still prompt you to guess some more (with the number of hints decreasing by 1 each time). It's not supposed to be like that. They should like give you scores for your accurate guess.. Sigh. Moreover, your number of attempts keeps on decreasing no matter if you guess the word or just buy the hints. I was so stressed by the stupid codes I did not give a damn and just passed it up. Thank God my tutor likes my design and how my pages flow (she even said to all of the practical groups that she teaches that among the class, she likes my design the best, and how well i deliver the game, bla bla.. whoaa.. i am feeling so high.. lol) and she gave me an A. I was like... huh???? A?? I even asked her back, "You mean that's my grade for IA?" and she said yes..... Hahahahaha..... W O W~!
Okay talking about staying late in school reminds me of my SAND project. My group report was like 200 over pages thick!! Whoaaa!!! That's my thickest report so far. Seriously. It almost couldnt go through the staff's letterbox. Lol.
Anywayss.. I just bought my own laptop.. WITH MY OWN MONEY!! Yaayyy!! I support my own laptop okay? I dont ask my parents for their $$$. I pay myself! Whoa.. the feeling of satisfaction is there!!!!
AND HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL... WISHING ALL COUPLES A FRUITFUL NITE AND ALL SINGLES A MEANINGFUL JOMBLO DAY. LOL. LET'S CELEBRATE OUR SINGLE STATUS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!
UPDATES!
| at 11:37 PM
HI!!!
There are TONNES of updates i can blabs about.... Hmm.. my blog's getting rotten? Hahaha, thats not the thing. I AM getting BUSIER, that's the thing.
ON SCHOOL:
School's getting more and more demanding and textbooks are starting to talk greek to me, especially OTBS. It's true that I scored DISTINCTION in project phase 1, but so what? It's just a mere 5% afterall, the thing is, can I get another A or distinction in phase 2 and 3? Answer is no. I took my assessment phase 3 just last thursday, and I scored 13 out of 20. What a shame. If only I used "for loop", "strlen" and "is_numeric", I could have scored higher. SIGH!!! I scored FULL MARKS in debugging la for goodness' sake! Why should I get an extremely lousy grade for programming???? The reason is because I'm a no programmer. Give me calculus, even though it's hard, I would still be willing to sit down and do the bloody question. I would try to use whatever attempts that I think can solve the question and still happy with it. That's part of debugging rite? Lol. Give me an output and ask me to code, I will die.
Jackson just informed us on our group assignment this afternoon in the lecture. And guess what? We are required to BUILD a blog system from scratch. Imagine Louisa is developing a BLOGGER??? Sigh. Is he mad??? And the deadline is 14th Feb. That's my FRIENDSHIP DAY, can?????? (I'm organising an event called friendship day [will change the name soon] on 14th Feb, TP-ers, PLEASE COME!!)
Last wednesday, Belinda gave back our test papers. I scored an A for Marketing!!! HAHAHA... That's PURELY my GOD's work!!!! Coz I studied in the morning all the way to the afternoon on the day of the test itself (no time to study at home days before coz I have appointments and stuff 4 consecutive days before the test)... So I'm extremely delightful to hear that I actually scored an A. Lol.
TPIS Meeting went REALLY long just now, but it's okay because we are organising a very huge event... the TP SPORTS FIESTA'07!!! Yeah!! Winners will get vouchers (either a restaurant, a cafe, or even a LAN Gaming vouchers) to celebrate their victory, and all sports participants will receive a certificate each. We are proposing street soccer, badminton, six-a-side cricket, basketball, and friendly captain's ball (no competition is going on, just purely games for fun)
ON COMPANY:
My mum and my dad are fully supportive, not yet to talk about my cousin and my uncle. Thanks. Because of them, I can have an overseas network. Still a very small one, but good enough to start.
Mr. Ben said it would be good if I make it a habit to come down to the company everyday. It's not impossible, true, but I just can't. First, CCA stuff which always have meetings until very late. Second, there is Ci Vivi in the house I can't possibly give her the impression that I leave the house everyday and come back late at night. Third, church stuff. It's awkward to come to the company on SUNDAY. The Bible says, leave the Sabbath Day for Me (God, I mean). I don't know, I just feel that I meet Mr. Ben and Jiayi more than I meet my own God. I know something's wrong with me. I'm not the type of person who is crazy about earning money. It's true that I'm not born or raised up in a wealthy family, but my parents have planted some values in me not to see money as God, because the love for money is the root to all evils (This is what the Bible says). I always tell myself not to be so materialistic. I told myself, if I earn, that's fully because of God's grace. God wants to bless me financially, this is why I earn. I work, I do things, I opp people, I share, all is for me to get extra. But God is still the One who decides whether I should get the money or not. I do something, God decides if my efforts worth my wishes. God wants me to be blessed from all aspects, and he give the best out of everything. So if He says no, I believe that He has something much better for me.
Not only injecting some materialistic sense into my flesh, they teach me to dream big. Ok. There's nothing wrong to dream big. Even the Church teaches us to dream big. But their DREAM BIG is really DREAM BIG literally. Like I am dreaming of having my own car at the age of 20. Impossible? That's called dreaming big (to them). Haiz.. They teach us to imagine things that we cant afford so we can work even harder to earn the money. Dots rite? I mean, so what if I have a car at the age of 20? So I can drive to university???? That's not the reason why I'm earning now, is it??
And OH! My DAD offers Mr. Yuan Jie a lift from the SoeHatta Airport to wherever he stays. Woah. I don't know my dad can suddenly be so free. Lol...
woo hooooo!!! highhh

I thought joining the EGA community was a great challenge coz I know almost nobody there, but HEY! All my 'seniors' are EXTREMELY helpful and understanding!!
They allow me to STUDY and FOCUS on my term tests.
They teach me LOTS of stuff.
They care a lot on my personal growth.
They help me to earn more money.
They expect me to be mature.
They open up my narrow perspectives.
They let me see tonnes of things I could not see.
They give me solutions in handling urgent situations.
They are willing to help me in achieving my desires.
They occassionally drive me home if it's already late.
OOOoohhh I love what I'm doing. Hahaahaha.. Seriously.
