One day before Easter, our beloved member of choir team, Selina Gouw, had passed away †. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend. It was around 5 am when I received text messages both from bro Micha and sis G... Our prayers chain ended there.
Paul said:
"we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28)
God loves Selina,too. I believe He truly still does. And probably now... they are dancing in heaven :)
I've cried my tears out. Not becoz I didn't let her go, but because I could still remember vividly in my head how she used to smiled and greeted me... Even a simple warm hello could mean a lot for me back then (that was almost a year ago, when I first joined the choir team and felt like a total stranger). I just hope the best for her family; especially for her only son. Some people wanted to support him, including...well, the most famous celeb in our congregation. I wish I can help, too.

So, HAPPY EASTER, friends! I wish you all well and blessed by the Lord. These past 2 weekends had been great, but I dunno why I couldn't find the time (or will) to update my blog or multiply or any other web sources. It's been almost a month that I passed with sooo much activities; I couldn't hardly breath... Thx God I can survive and not got sick. God has really bless me with very good stamina. Last year I didn't get sick at all, well, just minor influenza as I remembered. I guess I don't have any good habit, and I don't drink as many water as I should. If you wanna know, my simple tips are (well, if u wanna follow -lol-):
- When my body starts to slow down, and my my body cannot move as active as I want to, I usually force myself to sleep... I mean sleeeeppp... u know, sleep half day if necessary. But sleep, yes sir, it really matters.
- Everyday, after a long day at work, I stretch my back on plain bed and just lay there for about 10 minutes and take deep breath several times. Doing breathing exercises like yoga or tai-chi or trekking are also nice.
- I never drink pain killer during my period time. Or diet pills. Or sleeping pills.
- I don't smoke, but I do drink. I like to drink sometimes (not overdose, of course). But liquor leaves a warm touch in ur stomach and it is nice to consume them once a while (for the circulation of blood, some say). My mother used to teach me to drink wine and beer after eating fish or at rainy days:D Thx, mum. After I drink, I can really have a deep sleep at night. Sweet! My fave now: tequila, baileys, and absolut vodka.
- I always walk fast with my hands swinging beside my body, with a look straight ahead. This is sort of a habit that I know I can never change. Well, actually I just realize that after people told me that... And it's nice to walk fast, you will not become tired, lazy or sleepy, you will focus more, and you will loose more calories. Guaranteed ;)
- I never keep problems to myself. So at least I will share it with my trusted friend, or write 'em in my secret diary(online/ traditional). It really helps, lho! Lift up ur burden, shout it to the Lord, deal with it, and move on.
- Don't wear high heels all the time. Let ur feet have a break, ladies! I looove flat shoes, but I cannot underestimate the power of high heels! :D so, I only wear 'em 1-2x a week (it can effect ur back too) :)
- U have to SING once a while! Shout it out, u need ur voice to be heard, whether it's good or not... It's a form of self expression that has a positive releasing power. Before I joined choir team, I usually go out to karaoke (recommended: NAV) with ma friends once a month. I still like it 'till now ^^
- I don't eat in dirty places and always wash my hands & feet before enter my room. Hey, u never know what germs are inside those place, right?
So, hehehe, those are a bit "analysis" from me^^ Last weekend I spend a nite in IES with some of the choir members, including the big bosses :p Quite fun! We got to practice, hang-out, played domino 'till midnite, had chit-chat, and many things... I got to hold 2 Snoopy... haha, a bit surprised actually, Snoopy is my favourite comic character of all times! And they said, "he" also likes it *smile*
I mean, the interests similarity is... unbelievable... After the major, the house/decoration style (really minimalist- luv it!), the dress style (not too preppy, not too sloppy- the brands/ colour choices are similar like my taste), the music style (I honestly fell in love with almost ALL of his songs!), the food choice, the laugh (I am totally ok with the way he laughs), and now... the Snoopy! Hmm... that's just so much alike ya... sedikit takut sih...
Hari ini hujan. Dan saya senang saya mulai meulis blog lagi, meski hanya secarik, dan meski butuh berjam-jam untuk menuangkannya kembali. Banyak hal terjadi di bulan ini... my company had been chosen as Agency of the Year, my kakatua talkative bird died T T, my old dog become one sighted T T, one's passed away, one's sick, one's healed, one's born, one's getting married... The bottom line: time flies, paper or bandwidth may limited ma writings, but memories linger forever.
This month, and da following months, there's no reason to be unhappy.
So, give thanks. Give smiles. C'est la vie!
