it's by choice - (are you one of the somebodies?;p)

Everyday when we wake up, we have two choices, whether to start of the day with the good mood or bad mood.. of course i will choose the good mood:). but what if the bad things happen to us? was today a bad day? let me share about what happened to myself today :

my flight was delayed for almost 2 hours..
honestly since morning i had the feeling that it would be delayed, and scarily it happened..

on the departure board and borading pass written : qz 7972 time:1410, boarding time: 1335
after seeing it had been changed to 1600, i decided to have lunch @ T2(I was supposed to be in T1)..

with some chitchatting, i felt the time flew very fast and it was 1515 already! ok time to travel back to T1, cause the gate should be opened 40 mins before the departure time...
but..

it was not my fault,
it was written 16.00
when i see again on 1520
it bcome 1530...
the worst thing: gate closing...

i was running like hell from the skytrain area all the way till gate c25 as it was written on the boarding pass.. my belongings were not that light, and i was racing against the time...

fyi, gate c25 was like the furthest gate, it was located at the very end, so u can imagine how far it was...
when i just reached that gate(still jogging), i had some conversation with the officer

officer : "hongkong?"
me : "uh,no.. bandung"
officer : "bandung,go c24.. ok faster"
me : ;-_-

so, still with ganchiong mode, i ran back to gate c24,which was not so far, but not that close as well..

i felt like losing my breath already.. my heart was pumping very fast, n maybe loud? till i could feel the beat..

actually i had planned to smsed ppl that i'll be going off soon, but failed..really didnt have time...coz must turn off the phone on plane...i typed, but never send;p..


ok better to be relax first.. headache, maybe there was not enough oxygen to travel to the brain? so i was just sitting,on my seat.. controlling my breath for a while..
at the same time, i was also checking my belongings..

passport...,
boarding pass...,
arrival card...,
and
oops..

where're my two green cards?


they should be inside the passport cover..
but where were they?

ah, i must be dropping them along the way..
when i was rushing..yeah rushing never be a good thing...

so what should i do?
i didnt know..

still checking my bag..
but they were not there..

i should have dropped them..
but i couldnt contact anyone anymore..
coz the plane was going to fly,,,

student pass and embarcation card are vital documents, and i lost them.. ok i shouldn't be panic coz it wouldnt help me to find them.. i kept telling myself that everything's gonna be alright, though actually i was quite dread ;p ..

after i reached airport, the first thing i told to my mom was about the missing cards,
ok it might not be the right time to tell..
she looked pissed off before i finished telling the complete story, not even a quarter of my explanation..
n actually this pissed me off:(

so i just said to her:
"ok, dont need to worry, i will settle everything by myself..."

such a bad day?
do you think what was happening successfully switched my mood?

NO! there's no bad day;p...

yes true,i was panic.. but i didnt mean that i was having a bad mood for the rest of the day:)..
because, i can choose not to regret it, but to learn from it...

learnt to be more careful..
learnt not to be too panic in such situation..
learnt not to rush..
learnt many things...

in fact i was really2 thankful today..coz the story above just a slice of my day...

let me tell the rest of the story today...

i started the day quite well without rushing..wake up abt 7, bathed, cleaned up.. but i still have things to be kept out from my room.. impossible to store them anymore, n that was not so much as well..and i decided to deposit them to somebody..

yes, i wanna thank somebody who is secretly willing to keep my extra things that i couldnt put it inside the boxes nor bring them back home.. twice somemore.. sorry if my belongings filled up ur room;p, hope it's not too many;p...

i also managed to attend the morning church service without being late;p..though i thought i may not have time to settle everything, i managed to finish everything..and the service also ended punctually..so i had enough time;p

i also want to thank another somebody for the early christmas gift you gave before i went back to hostel.. it's so cute..wonder how long u took to create it.. thank you..

yes, now was the time to go.. with >20kg belongings, of course i needed to take cab.. but the weather was not so supportive.. it started to drizzle when i was just in front of the gate.. thank God, it only started raining after i got into the cab so i didnt get wet:)..

then i managed to reach airport on time as well,
at the airport i met somebody and somebody who came to send me..,
despite the rain and distance, they came..really appreciate it..thanks..

hanging around airport could be considered fun, and unusual;p.. but the time showed that there was not enough time to have lunch together, though all of us were hungry;p... so after hanging around T3, we went back to T1 and suddenly the board was written: destination: bandung, 16 00, retimed...

o.o
and somebody was very delighted (;-_-) knowing my flight was delayed..uh, not so good news actually, though somebody was happy...
but at least we could have lunch together first;p..ok not bad...haha

but seemed the conversation during lunch was getting too long, and i didnt keep track of the re-scheduled flight, till finally the chaos began;p...

There were super lengthy queues in check in area and i was sure i would be left behind if i waited for the queue,
so my spontaneous reaction was to talk to a woman on the second row of the queue

me: "can i go first please, the gate closing.."(cant really explain;p..panic mah;p)

woman(talking to a man in front of him) : "oh ini katanya mau duluan, pesawatnya udah mau berangkat"-(this girl wanna go first, cause the plane is going to fly soon)

man(talking to me): "oh, yes why?"

me: (knowing they are indonesians, from their language, dark green covered passports and garuda indonesia boarding passes they held)
"orang indo kan?"-(indonesian rite?),
"tadi tulisannya jam 1600, tiba2 jadi 1530 jadi.."-(just now it was written 1600, but suddenly it changed to 1530, so..)

i was talking super fast cause it's 1525 alr!!
then the man just replied..

man: "oh gitu..yah kamu duluan deh:)" - (oh, you go first lah:))

me: "whoah, thanks...X)"

amazing, i didnt need to wait for the long queue;p..

after the long run, i finally reached gate c24...
seeing me was so ganchiong, the officers didnt even ask me to take out my laptop or my phone..

they were just asking, "any handphone or laptop?"
i just replied,"everything inside.."..hahaha..

this was like the fastest ever i could go through the gate.. the first time they didnt ask me to take out the electonics for x ray thingy...
actually, i also quite reluctant if they want me to take it out cause it was dumped really deep inside my bag;p..
thanks officers who made this procedure much faster and simpler;p...

yeah, thank God i managed to get into the plane on time...
exactly 1530... and surprisingly i was not the last person..
there was a family came later then me, n still managed to fly;p...
good for them then;p...

on the way and until i reached home i still thinking on how to get my 2 green cards back..
after i explained to my parents they understood, and as i said earlier,
i wouldnt agitate them,

so i just ask for the internet broadband connection and i went online.. thank them to provide this thumbdrive-look-alike connection, which is much faster than the ADSL one;p.. the last time, we only used ADSL which often disturb the phone telecommunication line..

after being online, i just went meebo(no msn installed;p), i texted somebody on the msn, asking for help.. yea got the changi website, then chatted with other somebodys asking for help as well..

and finally another somebody really helped me a lot..
this person was willing to help me call the number i found on the internet about lost and found item on the airport, which i couldnt contact from here (dunno why), this person also calmed me down..till finally:

GOOD NEWS.. it was found^^..
yeah, though this person was nervous when calling the airport, this somebody did that and i super duper appreciated this:)...Thank you so much:)

i'm really grateful that the two tiny cards were not dropped in some area and swept away or what, but they were found and i can collect it on my arrival date in Singapore later;p...

oh..so many people to thank today:)..once again i say THANKYOU so much for everyhting^^..
(anw, i dont mention any name here because the "somebodies" will know who u are, n i know that you are smiling now while reading this;p)

there's nothing coincidence. all have been planned.

Thank God for everything...
yeah, i believe everything's gonna be alright..

it's your choice how to live your life

Storage...

finally finished storing the 3 boxes...
packing everything into 3 boxes was not that easy><...
in fact i still have some remaining things,

urmmhh, still dunno want to put where>.<.., anybody?;p

every end of the year i feel the joy of going to meet my family n old friends soon, but...
PACKING!!!
tired sia,,
squeezing everything inside...

last 2 years, i could pack into 5 boxes, so i could do it much faster...
though i have reduced the amount of my belongings since last june hols( knowing the room was also a bit smaller;p), still... i have to improve my packing skill...;p

yeah at least i've finished storing...
and was hearing to the storing uncle's story;p...

as i could see just now, he had too much work...
(that's why he complained loh);p
he helped the boarders store their boxes...
and lifting up and storing >50 boxes within 2 hours was not a light job...
and he did everything alone..

o.o
be strong uncle:)...
since u don't want to continue working here, hope u can get a better job next year:)...

hoah, now i still need to clean up and pack the rest of my things before 8 p.m...

rest first for a while;p...

(recovering in progress;p..)

the camp was FUN..

3 days 2 nights seemed too short..
but somehow we know more about our class mates, the ones who can be called our friends:)......

for the camp details and activities, i think we all have known it already...
n i think all of us would say it was FUN:)..(love kayaking though my body aching till now;p)
yeah because we are all fun people;p..

just like the title of my blog.. i'm really too blessed to be stressed..
i'm blessed by having you guys as my classmates and as time goes by we have become friends, even close friends..

if the question is how do you think about our class dynamic, i think it deserves more than just 60%.. in fact we can still play together and talk to one another..as a class...

anyway, i have found some ways to mark it down to less than 60%..
here are the ways:

1. always think that you are the most righteous.. all others are wrong, only you are the correct one.. everyone must follow you, because you know the truth.. just let people to do what you have said.. let them obey you, and you dont need to be consistent with your words, because you can do anything you want and it will always be right.. dont listen to them, because you hold the key of validity..

2. see the difference. it truly exists.. so, just keep in touch with people that has more similarities to you.. they will understand and accept you more..since the difference cant be eliminated, just go with it.. dont need to accept other's differecences.. it will just waste your time.. if you can be happy now, why should you put more effort in changing the impossible?

3. dont be a peace maker..yes you can pretend to be a peace keeper, but dont be a peace maker.. if there's something wrong, just let it be.. dont need to be so kaypoh.. if you see something doesnt go the right way, just pretend you dont know anything, so people you will think that u are a peace keeper.. you wont get into any trouble..

4. dont trust your friends. be confident. you can do anything by yourself. dont need to seek help if u think you need to, because you can solve anything by your own.. always think that you are perfect! you dont need anyone else.. and same thing, dont help others.. they should know how to help themselves..

5. think about your own happiness.. being happy is an achievement.. try to be as happy as possible.. be happy in your own way..hack care about others.. you are the main characters, the rest are just there for granted.. you can utilise them, according to your own wants and will.. you being happy is number one..

:?
:/
:|
:\
:(
:(
:(

oh no, i dont want to continue:(..
...
...

the choice is in our hands
whether we want to increase the percentage, or even lower it down...

nothing we can change from the past..
but we can do anything now..
and everything we sow now, we will reap it in the future, right?


sorry if there's anything wrong from i hv witten above...i do have no bad intention at all, just want to write from different perspective;p...

<3 0912B.. i dont hope for any change, i only hope for better ones...

thank you, my friends...:)

it WAS yesterday..

yesterday was an emo day..
i expected that much longer before it came..and now it has passed by..
whatever would happen, it would be still an emo day..
despite of movie class outing that was supposed to be fun..
yeah it was fun, but the emo side would still appear..

emo conversation along the day...
since morning...
then tried to forget a bit..

emo again..
before going to lt.1
after going out from lt.1
movie..(got sad part in the movie;p..)
dinner..
even the last journey on mrt was also emo><...

and that was only a little part that i knew and i followed...
there were still a lot of emo moments in other different places, people, and condition.. fuhhh...

it happened...
maybe there were reasons of why this (or these) should happen..
but for sure, everything happens for a reason..

everything will turn alright..
if you believe..
with a humble heart..
and willingness to carry on..
to see the brighter side of life..
it is there right in front of you...
only when you are moving on you will achieve it..

hmm..suddenly i remember a chunk of a song.. i think it's in my music playlist:
(history by matthew west)

Its been a bad day, you've been looking back
And all you can see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes, a world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe
Let me refresh your memory

Yesterday is history
And history is miles away
So leave it all behind you
Let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history

You know you can't stay right where you fell
The hardest part is forgiving yourself
But let's take a walk into today
And don't let your past get in the way

Would you believe that you are history
In the making..

Every choice that you are making
Every step that you are taking
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making

Every word that you are saying
Every prayer that you are praying
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making


so, would you believe?

Breathe...

(by: michael w. smith)

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me

And I ….
I’m desperate for You
And I….
I’m lost without You


just a short and simple song that gives impact to me..
at least to me..
but i'm sure this gives impact to many...:)

such a long journey...

yeah, pw is over...
actually i dont want to think about it anymore,
or even talk about it..
cause it is over;p...

it is such a long journey from the beginning of the year.. almost ten months 5 of us was sitting around the centre back table on m1-4…
were we doing our job? Not really…
I can say all of us not putting 100% for this, maybe slightly lower? I’m not sure;p…
But that was an unforgettable journey of my jc 1 life..

I could feel almost any kind of feeling during pw…

Annoyed – when we seemed can’t work together well
Stressed – when things just seemed not right
Tired – when we had to meet for hours
Relief – after handing in wr
Scared – before op
Nervous – during op
Happy – after everything ended;p…

And many more that I cant type one by one…

Yeah, it has been a very long journey, n I love my group…
Though sometimes it seemed not going so well…
I think it’s normal.. coz we are all different people from different backgrounds with different minds and different aspirations..

And mixing them together has become IJ023…^^

Wanna thank u all…

Rat – thanks for being our leader.. Though sometimes we thought you were not so ehemmm..;p, you have the ability to lead.. at least you consult mr. tan a lot.. I think the rest would be too lazy to do so..thank u also for ur concern of ur group members, esp towards op;p…

Nas – thanks for dividing the job when the things just went unorganised ;p.. you was the saviour of our group.. you took step when everyone seemed to be stagnant.. ;p..

Xin Ling – wow, you can talk loud… Yeah.. you had given your best shot for op..good job:)…

Shi Hong – the one who usually had the same opinion with me when it came to argument.. haha… great minds think alike man…;p… anw, good job for google sketch up..nice…:)…

It’s a pleasure to work with all of you guys… you are awesome:)
(all the best for our result^^)

Anw, 1 day before op, I experienced the longest journey from school to my hostel… it took 2.5 hours!!
Since i dont want this post to be so long, I’ll continue on the next post for my literally long journey;p…

sama ngaconya

sebenernya ini kejadian uda cukup lama sih..tapi tiba2 inget aja...
mungkin skitar 5-6 bulan yang lalu gitu..

temen2 fa sih udah kemungkinan tau di mana tempat favoritku buat belajar or mungkin bikin peer kalo emang males balik hostel..yep yep...mc cafe shaw house..(anw, double chocolatenya enak lo...;p)

ok back to topic, yah intinya saia bikin peer di situ rada lama lah...sambil nunggu yrc mulai gitu..soalnya tanggung klo bolak balik hostel, jadi kan mending mampir di tempat nongkrong terdekat...(sebenernya ga terdekat juga sih, masi ada yg lebih dekat, tapi di sini lebih pewe^^)...ditambah minum double chocolate yg udah disebut di atas..slerrp...dingin2 segar n nikmat sampe ahirnya... kebelet: efek samping yg biasa terjadi setelah menikmati minuman dingin;p...

berhubung udah ampir jem 5 juga, yah saia pack up deh, biarpun peernya blom selesai,tp daripada telat.. n untuk memenuhi hiv(hasrat ingin vivis) ini, saia pun pergi mengunjungi toilet terdekat..yah yang paling deket di skitar shaw house juga donk ya..

seperi toilet umum pada umumnya, tentu ada toilet khusus cewe n cowo..n tentunya saia masuk toilet cewe donk^^...
trus saia masuk lo n terus liat," koq layout toiletnya unik yah?"
sambil jalan sekitar 2 langkah lagi n mikir, "itu orang ngapain berdiri ngadep tembok di pojokan gitu yah?"..
trus sebelum masuk cubicle,"mall gede gini cubicle nya koq dikit amat..."
...
did u realise something?

rewind:
sambil jalan sekitar 2 langkah lagi n mikir, "itu orang ngapain berdiri ngadep tembok di pojokan gitu yah?"..
whoaa,telat mikir gw,,,,
udah jelas itu orang di pojokan lagi setoran, gw masih mw tancep masuk kubikal...

yep, untung sebelum si om itu nyadar,gw udah ngabur dari dalem toilet yg ternyata sebenernya adalah toilet cowo...
abiz tulisannya ga jelas gitu...biasanya kan toilet umum cewe nuansa pinkish gt, n yg cowo blueish..ini 22nya blueish..n namanya juga kebelet setoran tancep masuk aja donk...huehehe...

ahirnya setelah nyadar gw keluar pintu sambil senyum2 sendiri ...;p
tapi itu belom seberapa... tepat di pintu depan toilet sambil senyum2 sendiri itu, ada something triggering yg bikin gw ngakak sendiri..(waduh kacaw di tempat umum ngakak sendiri><).. kenapa ya?

anw, kalo ada yg tau yg di lantai dasar, toilet cewe n cowo nya itu seberangan...jadi klo gw kluar dari toilet yg gw kira toilet cewe, tinggal jalan terus lurus adalah toilet yg beneran toilet cewe...

yep yep betul...saia melihat makhluk berambut pendek n dengan dandanan macho alias emang cowo bener baru keluar dari toilet cewe... dengan tingkah yg ga jauh beda ama gw, dia pun cukup ngerush jalan menuju tempat di mana seharusnya dia berada, n juga saia yg sambil senyam-senyum masuk ke tempat yg bener...n tentu kita papasan juga..., sambil agak pandang2an bentar n nahan ketawa sendiri... wondering, he should think about the same thing as me>.< ...

so, ini salah siapa ya??;p
