Just Do It.


This week was messy.

I had to finish my exam project and it took so much effort on everything.

I was so scared because the flood on Jakarta was kinda messing up my plan since my team and i couldn't meet anywhere and one of my my team couldn't get out of his home. But finally, with God's grace, we finished it.

And it hit me right in my heart.

The key to do anything right is just to do it.

No other way.

When we were not doing anything on our project because of the flood, we were worried.

This is the thing with worrying.
It's giving you something to do but it didn't get you anywhere.
Just like a rocking chair.

But after we really did something on our work, we felt a slight relief.
"Ah, we did 60 pages today."
"Hey, we already did 100 pages."
Until it reached 280 pages and we stopped.
And amazed.

I don't know whether it sounds stupid or what, but for me, this little incident taught me a great lesson.

If you want to do something, just do it.

If you don't know what to do, do anything simple.
Don't just wait around and pretending that you're thinking about it.
Do something and you'll get an enlightenment.

Cheers.

Call ended.

Leave your message after this sound.

Beep.


Sigh.


Hello, how are you?

I've tried to call you but you don't answer me.

So.. How are you?

I just want to know how you are doing right now.

I hope you're fine.


The flood..

I heard that your neighborhood is flooded, are you and your family okay?

Well, it has stopped raining now, you don't have to worry again.


And..

I think i saw you two weeks ago at the mall.

It's you, isn't it?

I want to call your name but i'm afraid it's a wrong guess since i didn't wear my glasses.

Actually, i'm more afraid that it was you but you didn't respond on purpose.


I heard you finally found a job here.

So happy you didn't have to go back to KL again.

I hate when you're not around.

Well, i hate more when you're around but we're not talking again.

But, this is your choice and i have to deal with it, right?


And by the way,

I have followed your advice.

I finally found my reason to be keen to study.

You remember that one, right?

"Try to fall in love first before you study. The one that you love will be the coal to your fire."

Well, i finally found my coal and it's you.


And, i probably say too much but..

I miss you.

Bye.

Not Alone

Alone.

Alone.

I heard that nobody could make it here alone.

But sometimes, being alone is not something that you choose.

Everyone stares at you.
Everyone watches every move you make.
Just to ignore you after the first glance.

Everything you do matters.
Every move you make is monitored.
Not because they care, just because you are alone.

Take a step forward.
They start to whisper.
To each other, not to you.

Retreat backward.
The buzz goes louder.
And it gives you nerve now.

You stand still.
They shout you words.
Okay, maybe now it's the right time to cry.

Why?
Why me?
Why now?
Why?

My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

Yes.

Right.

Alone.
Nobody but nobody can make it here alone.

But, you are not and never be alone.

He is here and now with you.

You'll make them see soon.
You'll be the testimonial of God's grace.
You'll be crowned as the victor.
You'll win the race.

Just don't give up.
And know that He is always with you.

Soon, you'll make them see.
Soon.

Interview With Myself

Chapter One.

Interview With Myself.

Now, we’re going to talk about us.

Hold on, hold on. That comes out wrong.

We’re going to talk about ourselves.

How old are you?

I’m 20 going on 21 this year. This is the real counting but i feel like 10 since i still watch SpongeBob SquarePants every morning with my little cousins.

How about you?

What is your activity?

I’m a college student, on the third semester, majoring in Marketing Communication. Inside, i feel like i’m fed up of studying and i can’t wait any longer to make it on the real world. Truthfully, i’m scared to death when it comes to face the real world.

How about you?

What are your plans?

I’m going to be a communication/marketing/financial consultant. At least, that is the closest thing that i can do with my degree to my childhood dream, a psychologist. I always have this urge to start running my own business, like most of the Chinese descent guy. But, again, i think i’m still lacking of some things.

How about you?

What is your biggest dream?

Well, for now, it’s going on a trip to South Korea. LOL. But i always wanted to be a contributor on a newspaper or magazine, talking about anything and get paid for doing that. I never want to be a journalist, i want to be a contributor so i can write stuff on my own. And also, having my own consultant firm.

How about you?

What are you willing to trade with a million dollar?

Well, a sign of me? LOL. I don’t know.

How about you?

What is the first thing that comes your mind when you hear ‘career’?

Business owner. Well, i hope it’s a writer at the first time but business owner is the first thing in my mind for a career.

How about you?

What are you doing now?

Finding out myself. Finding out what i really wanna do in life. Finding out how i can make an impact and being significant to this messy world. Finding out how to be a succesful Christian guy. Finding out how to be independent on my 21st birthday.

How about you?

The best thing of life is not finding the ultimate destination.

It’s about making the most of you along the journey.

Never over think your life.

Make it simple.

Do what you love.

Leave the bad influence.

Live the life you always want to have.

Cheers.

Resemblance

Lie is like a piece of cake.

It’s always tempting but you know it’s bad.

Unfortunately, we always love dessert.

Love is like a high – maintenance sport car.

It makes you think you need it but you don’t deserve it.

But, at least, we enjoy the ride, don’t we?

Relationship is like the coolest gadget.

Having it is what we always wanted but we get bored after a while.

And the phone’s credit is going higher and higher.

Hate is like a mouthwatering supper.

We had enough what we needed but we think we need more.

And sometimes, it tastes good.

Flirting is like a bottle of a hot chili sauce.

A little drop makes everything better but it leaves mark on white shirt.

I remember you always love chili.

You are like a poem.

Easy to start but getting more and more complicated after a while.

Fortunately, i’m a big fan of a good poem.
