Pictures of September 2008

These pictures are taken from Abbie's website. I found out that she is a talented photographer. I asked her if it's okay to put her works in my blog and she said yes. So, her pictures are the pictures of September 2008. 

The girrafe and the grass. It's not a groundbreaking picture but i like how simple it turned out. 

I was on the picture but that's not the reason why I picked it. :) I like the mixture of the colors and the lights. In real, that pink flowery tree on the background looked so cheap and lame. But I was surprised that it looks great on the picture. The picture was taken when Peco and I sang a song for the girl who celebrated her 19th birthday. 

Thanks Abbie, and great job!

Random Stuff

The electricity was off earlier. Most of my current tasks are dealing with computer. I could always file and clean my desk but I’ve done that last week. During the non-tasks period which I was happy about, the slight thought of writing came to my mind. Not sure what to write but I’d like to write something. 

I remembered my conversation with Shane few nights ago about random things of life like future, fears, etc. It was a good conversation and I learnt a lot out of it. 

I checked out Abbie’s Flickr website yesterday and found that she is a talented photographer. I like her works and decided to put some of her works as the picture of this month. 

Two days ago was Peco’s birthday. He didn’t want anybody to sing him birthday song, I thought it was weird. It wasn’t a real birthday without birthday song. Though it’s a day late, we finally sang him the song. He said he didn’t like it but I knew from his face that he loved it. 

I haven’t been talking to Mega this week. I think there was some point where I just fed up talking to her. We’ve been friends for 11 years and this isn’t the first time. So, I guess we’re okay with it. It made my life so much easier and peaceful. But I made a truce this morning so we’ll see how it goes. 

Oh, me and some other friends from work went to a cello and piano recital. It was great though there was no air con and the power went off for 5 minutes. We really enjoyed the performance. At one point, the cellist played solo and performed a piece composed by an Indonesian artist. It was refreshing to hear something new, something modern which I really like. The piece was very unusual and made some people giggled. 

Counting the countless blessings

To work constantly with computer and paperwork can be frustrating. I have piles of paper lying on my desk waiting for me to work on and I need to keep up with a good reason of why in the world am I doing this job. I am out of focus and not sure how to find the excitement out of my job. I finally have the gut to talk to Bill about how I feel. I was nervous at the beginning, unlike the other conversations we have had before, I felt like this time’s conversation was me being a whiner. But I am glad I did it. Not only that I felt my burden was lifted, it helped me put my focus back. 

I remember one time when a dear friend of mine reminded to treasure every blessing that I receive. I’d like to do it again this time to remind me how blessed I am for:

God’s faithfulness

Having a job

Having a boss like Bill who is the man of God, wise and full of compassion

Remembering that today is my sister’s birthday

Constantly arguing with Mega and Sani, I feel like it’s the way to release my frustrations

Discussing with Peco whether we should name his motorbike Tommy. I am glad we did!

Talking about some weird stuff with Abbie at school 

Talking to Mona about how wonderful her artwork is and how her life reminds me a lot of Carrie Bradshaw

Talking to Jay about life in the other side of the world

Always having a free donnut at Donutboyz, thanks to Yudha

Being part of Solafide

Writing crazy wall-to-wall with Eln

Having Sharon & Casey constantly disturbing my peaceful life

Not worrying about what I should eat, drink or wear every day

Knowing that God is in control

The excitement of the future and not to worry about it 

Being able to grow through the hardship

Knowing that there are people out there praying for me!!!!
