Spying on the Dawn Treader I will 2008-06-02 09:55:00 I've just finished reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! Yeay! It is such an adventurous book. C.S. Lewis is undoubtedly an excellent story teller.
So, we'll see King Caspian again (yes, he's now a king just like Edmund), Queen Lucy, and King Edmund Pevensie. Caspian will have a more charismatic role leading his own ship, the Dawn Treader, to the far ends of the world. He is on a mission of
The old rugged compass 2008-06-02 05:48:00 I probably need it.
I've been so unbelievably lazy coming to work these days. I'm not slacking off in office mind you. I'm working hard. But I just can't find satisfaction in what I'm doing anymore. It's getting on my nerve thinking that I might be doing these things for few more years.
And so, on my day-off, laying in my bed... I'm thinking what I'm supposed to do to rekindle this spirit
It's about time... 2008-06-06 23:34:00 I miss the moments I fell in love
though I fell for all the wrong people,
though there wasn't a single magic moment
that is worth keeping.
Instead of shedding tears,
I should have told them,
"How lousy this whole thing was!"
and be the one that walked away
For all the right reason, my dear
For all the right reason...
I miss the moments I fell in love
though I fell for all the wrong people
A prelude to something beautiful? 2008-06-06 23:17:00 It was raining I didn't want to get up,
I wished I dreamt about you like yesterday
It's strange,
not knowing who you were
but still having the butterflies in my stomach
everytime I recall that blurry moment
Hul~ I don't even remember
what was happening or where it was
I don't remember your face, your name, or what you do.
Not a single clue.
But my heart is still glued to you.
And that makes me

My Ethan Wong! 2008-06-11 04:46:00 Ethan loves this song so much
and he can sing it!
My Number One - Hillsong Kids
Well, I didn't believe when I heard about the special bond between Ethan and this song. It is a pretty difficult song to sing for a four year-old. But apparently, my Ethan is not an ordinary four year-old. I played the video of My Number One before the Kids Service last Sunday. Suddenly, Ethan turned into

Mestinya kau paham... 2008-06-11 03:12:00 Dulu kita pikir, cinta tak kenal lokasi,
tak lihat waktu, tak peduli usia.
Situasi sekitar tak jadi masalah
Yang penting suka sama suka
(Ah, entah siapa guru kita waktu itu!)
Padahal bahwasanya
aku butuh kedekatan
tuk mengerti karakternya
tuk pahami pikirannya
aku butuh kesabaran
menggandeng tangannya
melangkah bersamanya
aku butuh kedewasaan
menerima kekurangannya
menegur kesalahannya

Daddy's little girl 2008-06-14 11:26:00 Last Sunday, when I was chatting with Ethan, he asked me, "Where's your Mario?" At first, I didn't get what he was saying. Do I have a Mario? Hmm... where's my Mario?
And then, looking at him staring at my blouse, I suddenly remembered. Voila! 2 weeks ago I showed him my Mario t-shirt, remember?
So I answered him, "Well, I don't wear it today, Ethan." Oh, come on... you don't expect me to wear

If you're still searching... 2008-06-16 00:01:00 I think most of you, guys, know how to search for a good wife.
You can just turn to Proverbs 31. Right?
But for us, ladies, I couldn't really find any specific guide whatsoever in the Bible. Until, I found the criteria of a good father - (1) avoids strife, (2) plows in season, (3) has purposes and understanding, (4) faithful, and (5) righteous. Eureka!
It is to a man's honor to avoid strife,

Bunga dan Mentari 2008-06-11 12:30:00 kau yang tengadah
padaku
dipayungi awan putih
segar di ingatan
kuntum yang mekar
bersantun
tersenyum
tersipu
namun siang lekas terik
dan hadirku
hanguskan indahmu
karenanya
usah lagi nantikan
jangan lagi setia
mengukur jarak di antara
tugasku mengayomi
kau dan dia
tak punya hak
mendampingmu
tak punya alasan

Almost July 2008-06-23 22:31:00 Oh please forgive me. I've been gone for so many days. Well, nothing is wrong really. That's just how I react whenever I have a new toy. Hee hee.
Anyway, Ethan finally got his Mario T-shirt. With a real big Mario on his chest (or rather, tummy), he really really looked so happy last Sunday. Haha. He must love that t-shirt so much. He even forced Ibu to take it out of the laundry bin so he

Superkids Bible Camp: The aftermath 2008-07-07 07:12:00 Yes, we're finally here again! Back to our routines and our blogging. Missions accomplished. Photos uploaded. Kids returned back to their homes. And we're already missing them. So much! We're already thinking... what are they doing today without us, huh?
Our Superkids are super amazing indeed. Thank the Lord! All the teachers have shared so many many interesting stories from the Superkids Bible
A conversation in the bus 2008-07-07 06:31:00 Cici Linda: So how did you feel when the Holy Spirit came upon you?
Tiffany (P1): Mmm… *smiling* I felt happy.
Cici Linda: Then, why were you crying so hard? *trying to dig more answer*
Tiffany: You know… sometimes when you were so very very happy, you would cry.
Cici Linda: *speechless*
My beautiful girls are amazing! They bathed without me asking them twice.
But it was really difficu

takkan selesai

Take That - Beautiful World Live (DVD/2008) 2008-06-26 12:27:00 Ooh, too much of David Cook again recently I almost forget showing my support for the first few guys I fell in love with... Take That! It seems like their stars are still shining brightly despite them leaving the industry for 10 long years. Ten very long years.
I actually never doubt that they would make it this far, again. But, after watching their latest offering, BeautifulWorld

Lookie!! Cookie!! 2008-06-26 01:15:00 I've uploaded two of David Cook's songs taken from Analog Heart. Go here! Quick!
And I'm ohh sooo... tempted to upload more. I even got my 'hands' on Axium's albums. FYI, Axium was a rock band that Cook formed in his junior year of high school alongside drummer Bobby Kerr. More on Axium here.

Footnote 2008-06-25 11:19:00 I'm still at the bottom line,
but not a conclusion
I carry the numbers you call
a support when required
Not sure if you'll survive
without the existence of me,
but I guess you'll suffice
You'll do fine though incomplete
I'm in small notes and fine prints
Doesn't really matter
Never really strikes out
Always a supporting role
I'm... yeah, I'm just some small liners
and you call me the foot

David Cook - Analog Heart (2006) 2008-06-25 01:31:00 Woohoo, guess what I got today! It's David
Cook's indie album!
Here's my review. It's definitely loud. And I'm not only talking about the sound. This album is loud in statement and it gives strong definition of David Cook's music. For something produced under indie label quite sometime ago, this piece can be considered a force to reckon with.
Well, if you're curious about the songs, I might be

David Cook - 3rd Vlog 2008-07-21 11:46:00 Okay I'm way behind on Cookey. This vlog was posted many weeks ago and I only saw it today. Gee... it's so sad of me, especially after knowing that my last post on Cook was on June 26 while this 'current' video was posted by OfficialDavid
Cook on June 27.
Anyway, if you still want to see the video, here goes! Better late than never.

Ethan Wong & babies 2008-07-21 10:10:00 Cici Linda: Ethan
, why are you sitting behind and not singing?
Ethan: I'm so angry!
Cici Linda: Why are you so angry?
Ethan: Because I'm not a baby anymore!
Cici Linda: Who called you baby?
Ethan: Nobody.
Cici Linda: Then, why are you angry?
Ethan: Because of the babies!
Cici Linda: What did the babies do to you?
Ethan: Nothing. But I'm already so angry, I don't want to stand with them.

Out to play 2008-07-20 12:32:00 I had the strangest dream. But it was strange in a good way. It was exciting. It was heart-pumping and thrilling. It felt... so real. My heart was beating fast, yet I felt so peaceful. I felt so happy like a little child. I didn't hold back because I couldn't. I felt so very very very happy I can even feel it right now. I can still feel it.
Again I say, it was a strange dream... because it was
I love... 2008-07-16 10:40:00 My list of "I love..." has just got to be updated. I love many more things lately.
I love cuddling my own pillow under the blanket. I love writing very short poems. I love drinking soup when I have sore throat, and I love watching cooking shows. I love pretty dresses with bright colors, light flare skirts and handmade leather flats.
I love dancing. I love snapping pictures. I love the smell of
Ethan Wong & donut 2008-07-14 08:37:00 Ethan saw me carrying a box of J.Co, still in its plastic bag. He knew right away that it was a box of donuts. He ran to me and gave me a hug, suddenly became so affectionate. He kissed me, left and right, and left again. My face was drenched.
He said, "DONUT...," in his low-tone voice. "Jie-jie, I want donut...."
I said, "Wait, Ethan, let me open the box and get one for you."
He replied, "

Monolog Penantian 2008-07-14 00:39:00 Still she was...
rubbing shoulders with your shadow (and I hate it)
playing bunch of sad songs (that break my heart)
humming somber melody (it kills me)
How long is it until...
she writes her loveliest chapter? (will it include me?)
while chanting her happiest tunes (that fly me to the moon)
painting her brightest smile (it'll be my treasure)
I will wait for the day...
that she's no longer
The Rice Project 2008-07-10 21:15:00 My little known object of desire is photography. Yet, I didn't necessarily pursue it, so I don't know much about it. Perhaps it grows from my sentimental nature. I love to capture emotions, moments, and stories. I love to put them either in words, or painting, or a photograph. If only I have the tools and just a coin of chance, I might be running towards that direction. As for today, it's still a

I want to see him again 2008-07-10 11:38:00 I saw Jesus! He was in that room, walking among our children as they lifted up their hands. His robe touched the ground. It wasn't white. It was probably gold.
Prior to it, I was asking him a question. More like a direction actually. Then, I saw him right there and then. He passed by, row by row, child by child, and suddenly he stopped. He turned to me and said, "Follow me". I didn't really get
Hingga Petang 2008-08-06 12:40:00 Dentang lonceng dan ceriwis burung pipit
disingsing fajar
aku masih terkapar
Jejak langkah
s'ribu satu t'lampau banyak
mengapa tak kunjung tamat?
Sudah lelah tah menunggu?
Tak sanggupkah menanti?
Semenit lagi.
Bunda, semenit lagi...
Dan lonceng pun membisu.
The right request 2008-08-03 11:15:00 One of my girls got cane strokes from her grandpa for joining our previous bible camp. Painful to hear, isn't it? She's just a little girl, a cheerful little girl, but she has endured many heartaches from her parents' separation and some harsh discipline. This morning, before going to Sunday School, she even got a good spanking from her mother for fighting with her brother.
Being the usual me,
Collide 2008-07-29 00:49:00 It was such an exciting weekend. Hundreds of young people gathered for a 2-hour worship session, what could be better than that for a Saturday evening? What could be better than being free to express yourself in the presence of God? What could be more satisfying than being able to give back to the community in the midst of economic downturn? What could be more encouraging than holding hands with
Daughtry @ Traffic Jam Street Party 2008-07-28 22:41:00 Oh my my, I missed their show.... After waiting and waiting for 25 July to come, I just 'ignorantly' missed the date. *sigh* I heard it was a blast.
Anyway, the photo you see above is from rojakboy. It's not taken by me. I didn't even watch the show at all. It totally slipped my mind (See? I always have that slipping-thru-my-fingers kind of experience).
Ugh... I'm still not so good at keeping

Ethan, why so serious? 2008-07-28 12:25:00 For the first time ever, I heard Ethan
said something serious
. He said, "God is funny." Of course it surprised me. Doesn't it surprise you?
Well, he couldn't elaborate more. So maybe I'll just see it from my point of view.
I kinda agree that God is funny sometimes. Or maybe it's not him being funny. Maybe it's just how life has to be. Life has to be funny. Because somehow human is a funny being
