I Feel Growing Up (Spoiler Alert!)

I actually started writing this post in December 2010, but I hadn't finished it yet..
So just now I have time to continue this post..
I hope this one post can be a blessed for all of us.. :)

I finished watching Nodame Cantabile last year.. Hehe.. xp
There's a part in Nodame's last movie where Nodame finally become a kindergarten teacher, which she's been dreaming of before she falls in love with Sinichi Chiaki..
Since she met Chiaki, her dream has slightly displaced..
She sets a new life goal which is playing a piano concerto with Chiaki as the conductor..
She's been struggling so much for it, but in the end she finds out that she only feels the joy of playing piano when she follows her real passion (she even has composed a cheerful pieces for kids)..
My tears burst out seeing Nodame happily playing the piano in front of kindergarten kids.. T__T
After all crazy though thing she has went through~

I started to think about the bold word above..
I'm sure that all people have their own passion.. YES, WE DO..
It's just some (maybe most) people doesn't realize it yet..
They have to experience many things in life first before they notice their real passion..
Meanwhile, there are also other people who find their passion from the very beginning..
I myself belong to the first type..
My passion is about all things related to KIDS.. Yeah, similar to Nodame..
Why kids? You can read this..
Even so, I also love music, animal (especially dog), and I'm concern about the environment issue (as you can see at the right bar of this blog~)..

One of my college friend has asked me this question....
"Why didn't you choose teacher education or child psychology major?"
I couldn't answer her..
In my mind, I know that what I choose now is not my real passion..
But I NEVER EVER regret it and I'm really PROUD to be a biotechnology student.. :))
I believe the major I choose now is the BEST major He has provided for me..
It's already part of His beautiful plan..
Now I only pray to Him that things I've learned from college will be USEFUL for other (more specific, it will be applicable for my future job), but I also DON'T wanna miss the chance to pursue my real passion..
I wanna do what I love and love what I do..
Above all, I just want to PLEASE You in EVERYTHING I do..

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters ~ Colossians 3: 23 (New International Version) 

This verse have been inspired me whenever I get tired of what I do and it WILL ALWAYS do..

Just let me stay in Your path, my sweet Lord..
Bend me, shape me as Your will..
Prepare me to the next level You have prepared..

For you who is interested with this "growing up thing ;p", I found a nice testimony titled "The Further Pursuit of Dreams, How Do I?" written by Scott Molgard in his middle 30..
Differentiate between passion and dream..
This guy has realized his real passion since he was young (read Scott's biography), then he chose a major which related to his passion, and suddenly thought about his "unclear" dream.. x)
Well, if you are asking about my dream right now, here what pops up in my mind:
- go to Disneyland by my own money
- adopt a child with my future husband
- get involved in child care/ animal rescue/ environmental organization
- have some golden retrievers
- have wood floor in my future house
- travel around the world
There are still many that not pop out.. xD
What I know to do with those dreams is to lay them down at His "foot" and wait for His feedback.. :)

Her name is Clara Chung..

I know this American-Korean singer from my junior in high school's tweet..

This song is her first single from her first album "Art in My Heart"..

Like the large bubble effect! 

Like the setting! Like the music, also the voice! :)

And do you believe this statement?

"here was essentially no budget to do anything, but we had a camera and some creative minds.."

Salute to all crew behind this video clip!

If you are curious on how the bubble's made, where the idea came from, or where the shooting took place, you can go to this website -> www.rossching.com

~ Offbeat by Clara Chung ~

I want a library full of our stories
A ship to keep our memories afloat
I wanna hit rewind
Playback a hundred times
The moment when our hearts aligned

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la (x2)

Forget the air
I'll breathe you instead
Fill up my lungs
Forget to exhale
Exhaaaale

I'll be down
You be my offbeat
Let's make rh-rh-rh-rhythm
And harmony
Waltz to our 3/4
'Cause you put the art in my heart

Your warmth and sunny rays
I'll save for rainy days
To break in case of emergency
And then I'll shut these eyes
Playback a thousand times
The moment when our hands intertwined

Forget the air
I'll breathe you instead
Fill up my lungs forget to exhale
Exhaaaaaale

I'll be down
You be my offbeat
Let's make rh-rh-rh-rhythm and harmony
Waltz to our 3/4
'Cause you put the art in my heart

Maybe it's too late to share this video..

But if I'm not mistaken (coz I rarely watch TV lately.. -_-), this video isn't published in my country yet..

As you can see, her fragrance "Black Star" and her clothing line "Abbey Dawn" show up in the video.. Nice way of promotion, girl.. Haha..

For the lyric, I have posted in Avril's Style post..

P.S She looks cute on that square eyeglasses x)

So Thankful

Hi all!! Here I am again.. ^^

I'm currently busy with my internship at PT Indofood Fritolay Makmur..

Everyday I have to make a report and I just felt like I'm still doing my college thingy..

I wake up at 5.30 AM, go to the factory at 6.30 AM, go home at 5 PM and arrive at 6.30 PM, eat dinner, play with my cousin until 8-9 PM, went to my bedroom to do my report until approximately 1 AM.. That's my current life cycle.. Haha..

Thank God it's Saturday night.. x)

I'm studying about implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) in there..
Umm, actually I tend to learn about ISO 22000, because their food safety management system refer to ISO 22000 manual..

Nice people, nice environment..

It's been two weeks and I already learnt so much :)

Formerly, I applied for the Quality Control (QC), but they said that the QC Supervisor was busy..

Then I got a position in Quality Assurance (QA).. Nevertheless, I'm so grateful to get this opportunity..

I don't know, but I really enjoy working outside the lab.. Hahaha..
Well, I always know He has the best plan for me :))

And my mentor is so kind and smart!
I could see that he is fully trusted by his boss (the QA/QC Manager)..
As a document controller and also QA Supervisor of machine calibration, he got so many things to do..
He helps managing two factory of PT Indofood Fritolay Makmur which is located in Tangerang and Semarang..
I felt like a "neglected child" when there was an internal quality audit.. -_-"
A bit information for you, internal quality audit is an event when a group of auditor from PT Indofood Sukses Makmur have to make sure that food safety system in the factory goes well according to built procedure.. It is held for two days or more, start with an opening meeting and end with closing meeting.. Not finish there, the audited food safety team has to do an evaluation meeting, too..
Impact on me -> I was left out for 4 days and had to study a pile of documents by myself.. ><

I've told you in my previous post that I'm staying at my aunt's house..
I'm so happy to stay here with

 my aunt and uncle
(couple since junior high school.. So sweet~ :)),

my eldest cousin and her children
whom are my niece and nephews,

(photos coming soon ;))

Mbak Wit (their trusted nanny),


(photos coming soon ;))

the 3 hamsters,

2 Cupang fishes,

5 turtles,

a lobster,

and some other fishes.

They do love animals.. Me too!! :))


Today, I heard a great yet touching news about my brother..
My mom told me that my brother continuously called my name today..
And when I spoke to him on the phone an hours ago, my mom said that he suddenly cried..

I'm happy that he could feel this kind of emotion, missing somebody who is close to him..

It proves that his memory is good enough.. :') Thx Dad..

I'll be home tomorrow.. Don't cry my lil brother.. Love you always :*
