Shine Like Stars- A Charity Event
I was asked by my cousin to donate some of my money by supporting a charity held by Mission Care. I was reluctant to go in the beginning, but I was trying to support my uncle and aunt who were involved in the charity itself. So me and other cousins plus some friends went there last night. The event took place in a convention hall located @ Supermall.
I was late, as usual, pardon my working hours. I was in rush as I finished up my work around 6.20pm whilst the event started @ 5.30pm. I took shower as fast as I could and I had not decided yet what I would wear for the night. I just took my very formal shirt in white with two green ribbons decorating on it. I didn't feel comfy wearing what I wore last night since my pants were way so hipster and my shirt wasn't exactly the shirt you would wear with hipster jeans. So many times I fixed my attire :(
I arrived there around 7pm. I must say arriving there on time to see Mike from Indonesian Idol to perform. He truly has a magnificient voice! He sang two songs, and one of it happened to be "I believe I can fly" OST Space Jam. I was hypnotized by his voice!It was truly amazing. No wonder he won Indonesian Idol II. Unfortunately, he only managed to sing 2 songs. All of us wanted to take picture with him but he had already left by the end of the show :(
In between the event, Ref. Peter (hopefully I got the name right) made some appealing speech. I was very touched by it. He was sharing us with stories about Aceh and this village in Borneo. His speech was very moving and motivating.
The last part was "True Worshippers". Songs were fun and full of joy. I didn't recognise any of the songs though. Ya know, I have never been that religious myself heheheehe. We managed to take pictures with Sidney Mohede.
Closed the night by having our late supper @ Panda Kitchen. I must say I have to watch what I eat or else I will be in no shape in no time! :P

Who will I turn to?
Once you told me, "If you ever feel sad and you feel like you wanna tell me stories and cry, come to me. I will make you feeling better, I will cherish you, I will listen to every single stories you wanna share and I promise I won't complain no matter how long the story will take and if you ever cry, I will lend both of my shoulders for you to cry on and I will turn the tears to laughter. I promise you."
But what if it's you who made me feel sad and made me cry? Who should I turn to? That's what exactly you had done to me now. You upsets me and made me cry last night. I don't know to whom I should turn to. Answer me your promised! :'(

New layout again ;p
Notice something? hehehe new layout again. This is my 3rd layout in a week time! I didn't mean to change it again and again but the "Randomized" layout that I put up yesterday kinda having a script problem that it always prompted error and I couldn't click the blog after clicking other links :( I love that layout so much 'cos it's in Black-Gray-White..so simple...well for now, I will settle with this one. It's not my personal favourite but so far it's quite appealing and nice :)
Anyway I went to watch "The Legend of Zorro" yesterday...was very nice and I lurve Catherine! She's a true diva! Beautiful as she has always been and charming :) Antonio wasn't that bad either...sexy latin ;) The story was nice and interesting. The only bad part was that I got 3rd row from front and a bit dizzy watching it too near :8

Urghhh just an ambition...
Just returned from a skin care centre and I gotta do this 'peeling' again and this time around, it's sooooooooooooooooooo painful. The first one was itchy but this time around it was painful and there was this burning sensation that I nearly cried. Now my face is bloody red and itchy and doesn't feel right :(
Just an ambition to remove one li'l hole in my right cheek..thanks to my nasty pimple whilst I was in China last year. I didn't remember of scratching it or anything but the black spot didn't go away...I didn't do anything 'cos I thought it would fade away, how wrong I was! It didn't go away...it stayed comfortly there and forming a little hole...I freaked out when I found out. Still I went for alternative treatment instead of going to skin care. I tried facial mask...I thought it worked, no it didn't, not after I applied face scrub. Soon my left cheek, too, was invaded by nasty red marks which turned into black spot. I nearly screamed with desperation. I applied 'elocon cream' ---> usually my saviour, but this time around it couldn't do much. Last resort, I went to see the beautician. She informed me, I needed a laser treatment to remove the hole. I said noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not in a million years I would spend millions rupiah for a small li'l nasty hole there! So I said peeling would do and I didn't care how long it would take...
This was my second time...needs to go there for 3 times more before my skin will go smooth as a baby. I hope it will work ;)

Ramadhan-the holy month
This is the month for muslims to do fasting and it's a holy month.It's pretty sad for what happening lately, isn't it? Terrorists are using the name of Islam to corrupt people's mind and destroying peace among each other. I learnt about Islam before, though I am not muslim, but this one religion is really interesting and it's one religion that stays quite closely connected to Catholic (I am a Catholic). Islam isn't a bad religion as what it has been potrayed due to the link to the terrorists. The religion, itself, teaches the good things and to stay away from the bad. Basically it's like any other religions that being taught in the world. The meaning of "Jihad" has been changed to something negative. If you really have the time, try to learn the truly meaning of "Jihad" and it seriously doesn't mean to kill others to defend the religion. It really is not. I was, too, quite shocked to learn the truth meaning of it 'cos the meaning is very holy. Well let's not discuss about religion issue, it might spark bad reaction towards others 'cos religion is a very sensitive topic to be discussed. All I am saying, every single religions teach humans to do good things. We must respect each other. :)
Lately,I have been listening to these two Ramadhan songs by a local band "Gigi". "Dengan Menyebut nama Allah" and "Oh Tuhan"...very good songs....I even bought the album yesterday, though that sparked confusement to some people but hey I don't care :)

Stop Animal Cruelty
Stop torturing animals, please! It's sickening and an action that I cannot tolerate at all! Animals are part of human beings and they are weaks. They are not as strong as we all are, humans. We are supposed to protect them, to take care of them and to love them, not doing any harms and worst of all torturing them to deaths! An act that only be done by bunch of f*cking cowards!
I read news from The Sun newspaper few days ago and I felt so sad to learn an innocent dalmatian puppy had been hanged by irresponsible thugs in Britain. Not only that, even today, I read a news about two puppies were being starved by the owners until they were to weak to move. I don't understand these people.If you're not willing to take care of animals,then don't. If you don't like animals, then don't hurt them, just stay away from 'em. They do no harm. They completed us in some ways. Justice should be done for these irresponsible people and inhuman acts that are done by them. They should be punished and there should be a law for cruelty to animals. I am really sad to learn the morale of people in this world has deterioating and has come from low to the lowest.
Please don't hurt the animals. Though, I hate snakes and sharks, I don't attemp to hurt them. All I do is just to stay far far away from 'em. Support WWF!

Sneaky Thief or so we thought that way
Both my sis told me a tale that freaked me a bit last night. They claimed that someone was actually trying to sneak pass through their room and that someone was trying to break in to our house! I was just awaken from my short sleep...(darn I can never sleep like normal people, always awaken when the clock starts ticking to 12.30am!) and I went to their room. Suddenly one of them looked so serious and kinda whispering saying that someone was hanging by their curtain outside their room. I was thinking about a ghost? hehehehe so I told them if it was a ghost then it would go through pass the wall and the window without having to climb to the curtain outside! Ww said it was a human and she was afraid if it's a thief. Then she started telling me there was a thief at our home before who was hiding above the roof years ago (alright this is something that I didn't know of) and my mom called the police to arrest the thief.
Since I left my room unattended and unlocked, I decided to lock my room and packed several stuffs, such as my mobile, an umbrella (my sis thought it would be useful to hit the thief with it) and my torch. My sisters requested none of us to sleep until "sahur time" which it's at 3am. I decided to kill the time by watching Atomic Kitten and Jessica Simpson in concert. Eventually I grew tired and felt really sleepy. We started making out plans on how to tackle the thief (as if we dared to do so!). Soon the clock showed it was 2.30am already. Liding started to feel sleepy and she slept around 3. Whilst me and wewe were struggling to transfer some files and by the time it was nearly 3.30am, I decided to go back to my room and knew the coast was clear. I couldn't sleep as I turned on the light and listening to music to make myself feel a bit relax. Finally I felt asleep around 5am.
I did mention to my sis that I might

I don't use 'cockney' accent no more
I think my English has gone from bad to worse lately. I have not used it effectively since I completed my school from Australia back in 2001. I was living in Singapore for a year afterwards and kinda used it bit by bit (yeah when I did groceries shopping or complaining to airlines or doing my bit of shopping hehehehe) and since 2003, I haven't used it as in daily basis. The only time that I got my chance to speak English is when I am having conversation with Stew and sometime with my sis, apart from that I use Bahasa Indonesia.
Due to this unfortunate situation, I must say my English is worsening! ><
I might need to take an English course or speaking English more *gulp*
I have to re-check my grammar again and again after writing some stuffs in English which I had not done so in the past....Woahhhhh this frustate me :S

Make poverty history
I have heard a lot about campaigns from different organizations to make the living conditions in the world better. Recently, and the most talked-about, is Live8 lead by Sir Bob Geldoff. He's really active and determined to stop poverty and making lives better for others. He had done so approximately about 20 years ago to help Africa and now he had re-created history by repeating what he had done previously. Gotta say I admire this man.
I, myself, was glued to this local tv programme called "Dorce show" earlier in the morning. It's almost like "Oprah". It's Indonesia's own Oprah I must say. I never really watched her show before not until today when she discussed about poverty in my home country. I know it's pretty terrible here but I didn't realise how bad it really was not until I watched the show. I was touched by some action that the Trans TV crews had done by donating little money to them. It makes a big difference for some people. I didn't really realise that a small thing we do, can be considered a big thing for others. If I had the power to influence people in this country to stop poverty, I would love to do so. Unfortunately, it can't be done, especially by a race like me. It's a bit race radical here. Whatever we do, won't be counted that good by people here. We don't really get the appreciation that we deserve to get. One thing that I had done was joining "The One" campaign by signing up at their website.
I hope other people who have bigger influence can make 'poverty history'.

New layout and it's autumn in my heart
It's N.E.W....what do ya think? hehehehe well I fancy the layout and the color...nice and simple and it's warm (like how my heart feels now, feels so warm). It's getting to winter actually but the autumn season has just begun for me ;p
The only think that I don't quite like from this layout is that I can't go back to the main page. Gotta refresh it and I lost my old counter :( --> dang, I forgot to save it before eventually I deleted it!
Well anyway loads of reconstruction still need to be done and I am not yet done with the new stuffs. Better get used to it...

Just because...
I didn't listen to what my dentist told me late last year, it cost me a week resting @ home and couldn't eat anything but cold oatmeal, cold puddings, milk and ice cream! I was helplessly sleeping every day, didn't have the energy to wake from my bed 'cos my left head was like being sliced open and a hammer hit me. Every day in that 7 days, I had had to feel starving every minute and hour. I wanted to eat, seriously eating but I couldn't even bite any food....so pathetic...
Now I am on the road to recover and here I am back in my office...of not having to work for a week makes me go sleepy the whole day...yawn...let me eat my bakso (though it causes my head thumpping) and read SWA...

Sick Terrorists!
They truly are sick people with brains...why do they keep killing innocent people and using religion as one of the reason? Years after years, bombing occur in my home country. Starting from the year 2002 whereas 200+ people were killed in Bali. Then in 2003 and 2004, bombs exploded in Jakarta. And now in 2005, three bombs blasted Bali again :( and around 22 people were killed and 60+ injured. This is sick, terrible and inhuman act. Seeing the report on telly, kinda scary. I saw the images of children crying and desperately clunging their lives to their love ones. Saw people running around, trying to spare their lives, helping the victims and searching for the love ones...don't they (the terroritsts) have a heart? Have an emotion? And what they did giving an outcome that is not cool but making the others suffer? Please do stop.
I read a very nice article in one of local newspapers about "Behind the mind of the terrorists" and one of them revealed that not all of them sucedded in doing the bombing and that some of them actually changed their minds before they pushed the button. I can't recall his name but this man who finally being charged for 14 years said he was about to be a "suicide bomber" until he stepped in a restaurant and saw a woman was dinning with her two little children and suddenly he changed his mind 'cos he couldn't kill these innocent people. Some who have not been really brainwashed actually have hearts. Every human does have a heart. I do wish all the terrorists think the way that man did. Then not so many people will be killed in the future.
Bali is crying and the world feels the pain. May God bless the victims and the families.
