Goodbye!

this is my first time to do fasting.
it's a lil' bit difficult for me to do fasting, well i'm 24 years old and i never do fasting before.
i bet you will think that i'm weird, but let me explain first about my condition
i'm christian, and in my religion, we're not supposed to do fasting, i mean yeah, there are some words in Bible that persuade us to do fasting, but there's no rule that said that you have to do fasting.
so here i am, 24 years old and never do fasting, i do know that in our religion we have some fasting moment, but i never do fasting, even i never think about it.
and than, last week, my friend do one kind of fasting, i asked her, what kind of fasting did she do? and then she said she did Daniel's fasting. At that time I've nothing in my mind about that kind of fasting, so i asked her about that fasting and she explained to me, and she also asked me to read the Bible, Daniel 3.
and after went home, i read my Bible, and searching on internet about fasting in christian and then, i finally to do fasting.
and here i am, I've been doing fasting for 6 days, and I'm doing Daniel's fasting, it takes 21 days to do fasting and in this fasting you can only eat fruits and vegetables within 21 days.
to be honest, it's really really hard for me to do this fasting for some reason, the first is because this is my first time, so you know, there's a lot of temptation, the second is because I'm a rice lover and this have been 6 years I'm not eat any of rice, and i still have 15 days to go.
but because I've decided that I'm gonna do this fasting, so in this last one week, i can still do my fasting, even there are a lot of temptation, but fortunately, i still have my strength to do this fasting, and i hope i can finish my fasting successfully
oiaa, I'm not gonna try to explain about Daniel's fasting to all of you, because my knowledge about this fasting it's not good`enough, but I' gonna tell you this, in Christian, we do have fasting, even its not a must, but you can try to do some of our fasting, about the time of the fasting, you can read in the Bible or you can search on internet about our fasting moment. there are a lot of reason to do fasting, it depends on your needs. but i think the point of doing fasting is to live like Jesus, how can you take your time to realize how amazing and how blessed you are that God have create you just like Him.
i know its hard to do fasting, cause i feel it too, if i do this fasting with not enough faith in God, I'm sure that i can't fulfill this fasting from the first day, but because i do this fasting for God, thank God, i still do this fasting.
i hope you one day can do fasting in order to praise the Lord. In Christian, fasting not only about not eating, fasting also means not do something that you like i.e. you decided not to listen to the music for one week, or you decided that you will not get angry for one month etc, the most important of fasting is you do that to praise God. It doesn't matter about the way you do your fasting, but do that fasting to praise the God.
Heyhoooo, long time no see
Today I’m gonna tell you the story about how lovely my village, known as Tanah Karo.
Actually Tanah Karo is a name of one Kabupaten in Sumatera Utara province. Tanah Karo itself consists of a lot of villages. I can’t mention every villages but I can tell you some of it. My village is Batukarang, placed near the Sinabung Mountain. Oh ya, Tanah Karo have some volcano and the most well-known volcanoes known in Tanah Karo are Gunung Sinabung and Gunung Sibayak.
That’s just some preview about Tanah Karo.
I went to my village with my mom, my uncle, my aunty and my cousins. We’re used car, so I can capture some picture so you can see how amazing Tanah Karo is.
The land in Tanah Karo is suitable for agriculture and horticulture. And for your information the agriculture product in Medan was provided by Tanah Karo. You can see how the agriculture in Tanah Karo amazingly improving day by day. Not only agriculture, Tanah Karo also known as one of tourism place in Sumatera Utara province. You can go to Gundaling to enjoy the view of Tanah Karo from above, or you can have a horse ride in Kubu, or you can go to Lau Kawar and a lot of other interesting place.
Actually I’m out of word to explain how amazing Tanah Karo is, you should come and see Tanah Karo so you can understand how I feel about Tanah Karo. Its not because Tanah Karo is my village, but the beauty of the view, the weather, everything in Tanah Karo will make you smile and realize how great is our God, so He can create such a lovely place.
this is some picture of Tanah Karo
it's been a long time not write my blog,, yeah i'm busy lately,,
well,,
actually i dunno what to write, but i just want to write,, hehehehe
i dont really like today, i dunno, i just felt like i cant take it anymore - working in my office , i mean-
i just dont get the 'feel' to work in here,,
you're pushed to do something in good way, but once you did it, they still kept angry to you,
i just dont understand the way they think.
they always blame you, never satisfied with what you have done, even tough you did a good work
oh man, i just cant resist it anymore, sometimes, oh no, not just sometimes, but any times, i wanna quick this job,, i think that i cant live like this in entire of my life,, i have my own pride, and they cant tore it apart,
but when i think more clearly, i just cant quick the job, cause, there are a lot of people out there that have no jobs, they're still unemployment.
i dunno, its a big dilemma for me,
i know, i should be grateful that i have a job, with a good salary, and i dont have to be unemployment. i should thanks Jesus cause He gave me this job, He must be has a plan for my life, and i know that He wont give me a burden that i cant endure.
but, i'm just a human, yeah, i know that wasn't an excuse,,
oh my gosh, i dunno know, i just mumbling,,
arggghhhhhhh, what should i do?
how can i enjoy my life??
I just finished read some books this past few weeks,,
actually it took a long time for me to finished those books recently,,
usually i can finish one book in one or two days, but now due my work i finish one book in a week or more even for a thin book.
oke, enough for the story, now, we're back to the topic,,
i wanna share you some books that I've read,,
here we are:
1. Guru-Guru Keluhuran
This book tells about Indonesian soldier who was born in 1920 and still alive, they're not just a soldier who fight in a war physically, but they fought for education, welfare, etc. This book told us about the opinion of the soldiers, what they thought about the condition of Indonesia nowadays,, and their hope for Indonesia to be better than now,,
its a good book for me,, it gives you a knowledge about point of view of a soldiers who fought for Indonesia's freedom,, even though they're born in the era of war, no technology, no facilities like today,, but their dreams is much more bigger and higher than people nowadays,,
they dream high, they dream for wealthiness, this book give you a chance to see a world in a new point of view,,
Every one must know Gus Dur,, he is our fourth president,, not only in Indonesia, Gus Dur also famous around the world, he also received a lot of noble during his life.
Gus Dur already passed away in December, 30th 2009,,
he is a very plural person, and he loves his people very much,,
this book tells about his biographic, his carrier, his joke, his life, his point of view, his thought,,
i recommend this book,
3. Berbekal Seribu Akal Pemerintahan Dengan Logika
This book tells about Jusuf Kalla, and i bet you know him,
he is our vice president and he also a businessman,,
i admire him so much, i like the way he thinks and how he can solve a problem,,
he is a problem solver and a quick thinker, maybe its because he is a businessman, so he has to make a quick, and right decision..
this books actually has the same topic with the book above--Perjalanan Politik Gus Dur-- but with different key person,,
i recommend this book also,,
4. Chocolat
This is the last book,,
its a novel,,
i bought this books because i interested with the resume, but honestly, i don't really like the book after i read all, i just didn't understand this novel, maybe because I'm not good in analyze the novel, but i just didn't find it interesting,,
this novel tells about chocolate, a chocolate maker in which a daughter of a witch, a priest, their life, their neighborhood. the novel tells us how the chocolate maker can survive in her life, fought with all the neighborhood and the priest, and how can she win the battle and live happily,
if you are someone who like novel and its abstract, you can read this novel
that's all the books for today, i hope it will give you another choice to chose books to buy,,
have a wonderful reads,,
and keep reading, cause book is a window to the world,,
Actually, i wanna write this topic for a long time ago,, but due to my laziness i haven't write my blog until now,,
right now, i wanna share my experience,,
i am in Pekanbaru right now and i rent for a room here,, it costs Rp.500.000/month. what i'm gonna tell you is about the owner of the room that i rent. they are husband and wife,,
i call them 'ibu kost' and 'bapak kost' even tough they had they own name,, ^_^
every week, ibu kost always cooked us some food,
here are some food that she gave to us
not only make us some food, she also took our clothes every afternoon in order to keep our clothes dry,,
her husband also good to us,, he always help us to pick up our water gallon from the grocery to our room, the gallon is heavy and he is old enough to pick up the gallon, but he still help us.
in the morning, our ibu kost always throw away our garbage, clean up the yard etc,,
all i wanna say is they are a good person, actually they don't have any duty to take care of us, but they treat us like their children,, its a lil' bit difficult to find kind of person like them who helped people with favor and not expecting anything from us, while almost all of the people in the world only think about money, people nowadays will help someone if they think it will give them advantage,
but not for them (ibu and bapak kost), they just help us because they want to help us and they considered us as their children.
not like any owner of the dormitory or apartment,, the owner only gave the customer the room and the facilities inside the room, they do not care about anything else, as long as you pay the rent in time they will not disturb you, but if you pay the rent late, they will come to you and ask you to pay it as soon as possible, and if you don't pay it they will ask you to get out from their house..
you usually do not have any interaction with your ibu kost and bapak kost, they only care about your rent, your money,,
but not like mine,,
this is my fourth time rent a room, twice in jakarta, once in palembang and once in here in pekanbaru.
when i was in jakarta, my first room that i rent didn't satisfy me, we didn't have interaction with the owner, i don't even know the owner, because the owner had ask someone to keep the house, so we just know the keeper,, i only stay there for one week and the i move to mangga besar, inmangga besar i found the nice owner,, and i love to stay there, but my job make me to move,, i only stay there for 3 months and then i moved to palembang,,
in palembang, the condition is the same with my first room, we just met the owner when we want to pay the rent,, and then i moved again to Pekanbaru,, so here i am, in my room typing this blog,, telling you that the owner of my room are good persons
although i have different ethnics and religion with them, they still treat me and the other like their children.
i love them, and i don't have any plan to move from this room while i'm still in Pekanbaru,,
i hope i can be like them, helping people without expecting something from the people that i help.
i wonder that this world will be more beautiful if we act like ibu and bapak kost.
yeayyyy, finally,, December is coming
so fun
so glad
so excited
i can't wait to reach my home
hahahhah
yeahhh, I'm going home this christmast
I'm so happy
wish u had a wonderful christmast
well, long time no see,,
i think it's been two or more month i haven't write this blog.
mmm, you can say that i'm busy, but moreover, i am lazy to write,
two month ago i was in Palembang, but one month ago, i moved to pekanbaru,,
and, here i am, in pekanbaru, trying to write my blog again,
it's hard for me to write this blog,,
i still need time to adapt with new environment, so i don't have any hesitate to write my blog,
i know, that from my previous blog, i always been an optimist people, but, not now,,
i feel numb in here,, maybe because i didn't find the right friends,,
it's so awkward when the first time i arrived here in pekanbaru, well it's just the same feeling when the first time i-we- arrived in Palembang, but in Palembang i have friends that can keep up with me, we laugh a lot together, mourning together, sad together, we share everything together,, that's why i can endure the emptiness in Palembang,, but here in Pekanbaru i can't find people like my friend in Palembang,,
ohh, I miss them already,,
i hope i can meet them again, as soon as possible.
well back to the topic,,
i never imagine before, that working in banking sector require us to move around Indonesia a lot.
i never imagine that i can meet a lot of new people,
actually it's a good thing,
but, since i miss my friend (whom i was with them in Palembang), I still can't find the rhythm in here, i just can get the feel in here,,
but i'm trying to enjoy my life here, cause, i have to spent my time here for the next 4 month,,
ohh, i don't know, it's hard, but i have to survive, i have to conquer my ego,,
i hope i can do it..
