What is your calling in life...

What do we all want in Our life?
Is it very difficult to achieve it?
sometimes it leaves you wondering about the things in life that you want to do and achieve, but somehow it is still far away from you. Instead of getting it closer, it goes further.
Recently.. I have been asking myself a lot about what do I want in my life.. I could not get a clear answer. if I cannot answer it myself then who could??? I am still searching for the best since I am now married. I think much  more differently. It is interesting that passion is the start as Jeff Goins says. Passion is the starting point to lead you to the calling of your life. What do I want to do with my life and how can I get a fulfilled life.
For a start.. It is interesting to imagine where you wanna be five years from now. Maybe this is what I want and maybe not. God has placed me to this wonderful country with the wonderful people, and yet I am still struggling? What have I done wrong? What should I do to make it right?
I am still searching for the answer ...:) LIve a life that is full of purpose.

God bless everyone...

Something to remember

I just want to post some of the nice things that I sold yesterday.
Something to remember...^^

Feel connected

Everyday... we think, feel, connect, and I guess to some, we Love.
A small thought  can bring a big change into our life.
Its a choice to love, to be romantically involved with someone.. but everything cannot grow without time.. without effort and without good thoughts in it.
My pastor told us that before marriage, we shoud be happy first.. Then we can share our happiness to each other after marriage. 

There is always hope to a happy relationship and a happy marriage.hihi..

The Journey to the beautiful future.

Thank You God for all the things you have given me...^^

Everyday , we always live with challenges, stress and expectations of other people and of course from ourselves.
Sometimes we doubt, we wonder and got lost along the way. But Lord, I know you are always with me everyday... not just today.. but yesterday and tomorrow as well. Never for once you leave me.

Future.. is something that gives us hope to live,.. to work, to satisfy.. We all hope to live well.. not having to worry about money, clothes and all other necessities. That is why we work hard to get the money.. and hoping after we get the money, we are going to be secured with a good future, then with that., we hope for more and more that we feel nothing anymore... about the whole thing. We are never satisfied.
So.. is it really the end that gives us happiness? or is it the journey itself which will determine our success and happiness?

The Journey will be beautiful... if we can appreciate what we have. Just stop and think about what we can do up till now, what we have up till now.. How wonderful God has provided us with everything we need.
Give thanks...for every little things we have..

Secondly, The Journey to the beautiful future... is ours to decide. Happiness, is actually in your hand to decide. Whether you are old or young.. you can be happy if You want to be Happy. Make your life richer... go out and breathe the morning air.. appreciate the sun.. the moon and the awesome people around you. Like gems that beautify your life^^. Really happy to know that I still have some very cool friends that I can share all my thoughts, my feelings, my sadness with. Thank you...

I believe that everyday is a gift from God... we breathe everyday without difficulty.. is also a gift from God..
I have parents who cares for me, sisters who always back me up when I am down, and a cheecky brother who is so ngangenin. I Love all of you.. deep down in my heart. Never know how I can ever be thankful to God in giving me such a good family in my life. Not forgetting my baby sitter.. who are always there when I needed someone to listen to all my problems. I love you all.

Don't wait to be happy. Count your blessings^^ Be Happy Now and you will have a beautiful future..^^
Smile... The future waits upon you..
God bless you.

The chemistry between us...

I always wonder when I will meet you:). Always wonder when I will get to know you...
Now that I have.. I wonder when will I meet and see you again. Now that you are far far far away... ^^

Happiness to me is to be with your loved one, to spend time together, to eat together, to walk together and sometimes to only just stare at those beautiful pair of brown eyes...^^.... just that ........ makes me feel like I am the luckiest girl on Earth.

Life is full of surprises that you need to find...
It is full of presents that you will receive... 
Also full of fun that you need to enjoy.. :)
I thank God for the life that I have. 

Just recently... God has send me someone. 
Someone that might have been prepared for me.
I just knew he is special..:).. I feel it... and know it..
because we share the connection that I have never shared with anyone else in my life.
He understands me, he sees my future, he sees my life, he sees to my deepest feelings.. 
and he just connect with me.

The Chemistry that makes me wonder.. it is rare and so precious. 
I am so glad it existed between us...
(The power of mind)
To eternity and beyond......
To think about it.. I have always waited patiently for this day to come. 
I am just so sure about this..:)
This feelings is so strong and made me smile everytime I think about it.

Love you..my dearest!. Thank you for coming into my life...
looking forward to be in your arms once more ^^

The bitter sweet of life... existed from this chemistry...

btw.. I love ur (astroboy*) hair and ur shorty beard ><
* shei's term

You never know tat u can be strong:-)

It is interesting, that sometimes things that what we thought we can't do, we can actually do, if we are put into a situation where we have to do it. Kaya 'kepepet' gitu... Hehe..
:-)mau ga mau harus bisa!...
Most of the time, we are surprised with what we are capable of.
We can actually do unimaginable things... Like 'moving the mountains'.
Then, we realised that we are stronger than we thought we are.

Life is full of challenges and uncertainty. Sometimes we fail, and things seems not to be on our sides.
But one thing for sure...
We are never alone.
God is always with us. :-)

God has promised us that he will never give us challenges in life that we cannot handle.
No matter how hard things seems to be,
Always remember that nothing is impossible if we walk together with God in our life.

So...
Accept challenges in life bravely:-) because you can do it!

&

Shei.. I believe, that i can carry you if I have to!
And I can be as strong as Vinia.  hahahaha....

The simplest things in life that matters.^^

   Life is the most beautiful thing that God has given us. The fact that we are alive is amazing...
I really want to  Thank God for my life and how it is going ...... hehe..:)
Even though it is not always everything that I wanted to be,  I learn to accept the new things that has been given in front of me and the changes that I have to go through. It is not easy and not always smooth ... But I know that what has been given to me is what is best for me.
I always go back to the basics of life:) and appreciate all the little things that has been given to me by God.

Sometimes we are so busy with our work and stuff that we want to do, that we forgot the simplest thing that God has given us, which is life itself. It is the simplest form of being a human. It is the way of how we can breathe everyday, how we can move, walk, run, see, smell, talk, touch,feel, and erm... smile..:) hehe..
It is good to smile everyday before you start your work.><....:):):) 
And ... smiling takes less muscles than frowning.. haha...
It is simple but powerful..:) in my opinion.

I have learnt that in life..we need to adjust to changes and adapt to new things.
I know that things does not always go as we predicted, as beautiful as we imagined, as colourful as the rainbow in the rain, as free as the bird soaring in the sky and ended as happy as the fairytale, but I still feel that changes is sometimes necessary in life. I never know that I can be happy in Indonesia a year ago.. haha.. but now.. If I think about it.. I should be grateful that I can be close with family and stayed here. It is just that my dear friends are scattered everywhere... but I am sure I can still find other special gems" in Indonesia. :)

Even at first it does makes me sad,unhappy and depressed, but now I am glad that I go to a better place that God has provided me with. hehe..
You never know what surprises might come , who you might meet, what might happen, and what you might do. I am so happy that I can still be given the chance to dance><.. I used to think that dancing is my life. haha.. and wherever i go, I just dance.. Well, it is true I guess:P.
Anyways..Without the changes in life you just won't grow mature, experience new things, be a better person and be smarter:)

For now, I just want to Thank God for every little thing that He has given me... My loving family, my dearest friends, my work, the delicious food that has always been prepared,and also * the Beautiful flowers:p that has always been sent to me.I dunno where it always come from.. but it sure does make me so happy every morning. haha.. well, the list just goes on for those amazing thing I experience,even how little, it matters for me....

Everyday.. there is always that little thing that you can be thankful for. I am so sure!..
With everything else that I used to take for granted. I just want to give thanks...and never again I will want to look back.. cause God has prepared the best future for me and of course for you too^_^
For you and me:)

God has given the simplest yet the most beautiful life :)

Happiness ... everyday... ^^ 2012 new start of life... 

New life in My little hometown

My beautiful Island Jawa..
I have never really remembered how to live in Jawa, or in the moon island so might say. Being overseas almost half of my life, I realised that to adjust living in this beautiful place can be so hard.
Life has always been easy and beautiful for me in the past:) but why now after I move back for good, it has crumple and looking ugly?? Well this is why...

First, I have very limited friends here and no activity and living in a totally different lifestyle. This place is like an unknown world to me. It is just so hard to re-start everything. All new once more..I have nothing in here or so I thought at first.In the end, all I ever want is to go back and only looking at the good memories of my past. Always "berangan angan", just dreaming that if I were on the other side of the world, I will be a happier person. ??hmm...

Well, what I never know is that what is in front of me, is as Beautiful... or Even more beautiful. God is still so Good to me that He provided me with almost everything I needed - the nicest friends to hang out with,  my family who love me ever  so much ,the never ending traveling opportunities:p( this one I plan myself. hehe) and of course to be working with what I always love, jewellery. what more do I want?? oh my...I dunno why I am always complaining.. What is there to complain? haha.. well.. life is never enough for me I guess. never never enough.. just wanna go back so bad..

Now, after almost a year being here.. looking back again, I still do miss the life I used to have. But I also start to realise that it may not be what I really want for my future. Do I really want that. A friend of mine trigger me to re think about what I want in my life.
I used to think that my future will be better if I were there and not here. I think after the discussion...and all the time in here.. I change my mind. haha..

Moving on is always sooo harrd.. the hardest and the to the top! max!
I just know what I really need to do! is just to "move on"
There will be a brighter future for me if I dare to "move on" and not always looking back.. Right:p??

So I have decided that I should instead appreciate living in Indonesia and be thankful that I am with my wonderful family dear friends. Hey there... You know who:p I wanna Thank you for all of your advices. Always make so much sense and soo realistic.!! >< I dunno how you came up with all those phrases, but it sure does change the way I look at things now:) so thankful and super glad to meet, not mentioning being able to 'connect' with people like you... maybe you are God sent to be a messenger . haha,..
Maybe...:) you are sent to make a difference in my life.

Simply said, life will be so wonderful with you appreciating all things there is in your life:)
Life is an exciting,fun,a mysterious journey...and I am so thankful that I have this life of mine.
Never look back:)....

waktu aku pulang ke Singapore, aku juga bertemu dgn tmn2 menari, ketemu kak sem yg ngajar, sungguh bersyukur.

thank you for all those ppl who have been with me to colour my days,

><

frustrating daY

Early in the morning, the hussle....to go to work.
the nervousness..
the uneasiness
don't know what to do....

I hate those feelings..

I should feel--
energised
excited
happy
positive and creative.

sukacita didalam hati kita memang harus di jaga bener2.
Kalau nggak, memang semuanya bisa hilang dengan cepatnya dan
apa yang di dalam hati kita bisa membuat kita tidak bisa hidup secara maksimal.

Aku nggak mengerti kenapa those feeling bisa tiba2 datang dan pergi.
Hidup jadi mengerikan karena pikiran kita sulit sekali untuk di kontrol.
kadang aku juga bingung... seharusnya>< aku happy and satisfied.
dengan pekerjaan, financial, teman2, family, everything seems good and fulfilling.

tetapi ada suatu pikiran yang membuat aku nggak ada sukacita itu untuk membuat aku
happy and satisfied.I am searching high and low for the answer and itu ada karena aku merasa di tekan dan tertekan dengan perkerjaan ku. secara nggak langsung dan perlahan lahan semuanya menumpuk. Aku selalu menahan ketidakenakan ku terhadap bos ku dan hal2 kecil yang lain. mungkin itu berangsur udah lumayan lama soalnya aku sudah setaun kerja disini dan aku biarkan saja. Itu membuat aku secara tidak langsung stress dan terikat><. Walaupun pekerjaan yang aku lakuiin itu tidak seberat dan sesulit itu. I just felt this the first time in my whole life. The hardship of life..

I just believe I can perform better than this! maybe in a different environment. Selalu berpikir seandainya begini dan begitu. Tetapi the truth is that I may not know.hanya satu hal aja yang pasti, Aku tahu kalo di depan ku ada rencana yang indah yg Tuhan sediakan buatku. Tuhan nggak pernah ninggalin aku dan itu sungguh terbukti. walau kadang aku nggak seutuhnya kokoh di dalam imanku dan doubt about what will be my future. The future will be there if I do well today. It think that is the way I should think right now.

Jadisekarang... Aku harus mempunyai satu goal yang tentu di dalam hidup.
nggak mau lagi aku jalan sendirian di dalam kebingungan. rasa nggak enak yang udah lama lama ini harus diperbaharui setiap hari dan aku percaya one day I can be as happy and cheerful as before.

lizzaaaaa

a little something about gender><

Hehehe..
Today we celebrated mel's 21st Bday at cineleisure>>>
ck ck ck. kita memang hebat hebohnya! hahahaha happy day deh..
nyanyi ga karu2an.. melegakan stress.

Ini ceritanya setelahnya aku pulang dari karaokean.
Aku pulang sendiri naik bis... hehehe...
dan pas aku duduk, aku melihat 2 orang cowo^^ good looking!
very well groomed, cukur alis, rambut tertata rapi, bajunya juga so nice, cool, keren.
hehe.. just 2 really nice looking guys.
They are pretty interesting...

The both of them have the same nike bag, or so I observed.
As I have nothing to do, observing them made me realise something deeper..
hahaha....
As a jeweller point of view.. hee.. I saw that on their right hand, they have this bangle,black in colour, simple design..might be made from rubber or even wood. The both of them were wearing it.couple bangle yah???

Then I look at their^ neck, nothing there. hahaha..
After that, Isaw their ear. waaa! He has a * bling on the right ear.The other guy too, has a stud, smaller one on the middle plus two black studs. If you don't look carefully.. you might think that it is a mole! hahaha..interesting jewellery nih!
Jewel in disguise.

Then I see his right ear.. they have this small black dot, mole looking, as it was really tiny right in the middle of the ear,at the bone, nearest to the face. aku kiraiin andeng2.. lalu aku liat cowo satunya,dia juga ada sama..hitam2 at the same exact spot, I was astonished kuaget.. hahahaha.. they even pierce at the same place.....! mereka Guys romantis!now.. jewellery really mean something.>< nice nice.... It is such a waste that such good looking guys love another guy.. heeee.kok ya bisaa..

At the same time... in the bus, I look on my left,.. I saw!!!!! a couple., thought a girl and a guy,then I realisedd duaduanya cewe!!!!!!!! what has happened with this world..zzzzzzz
toengggg udah deh.. mereka mesraaaa hmmmm ga pengen nglanjutin kalo yg ini..
hahaha..
anyway..

that's all for today! something to ponder about our gender. Have we all get confused over it? ...

My thoughts after a year of working%$#@

For the past few months, I have not been feeling good and right about life, always thinking so negatively about my own future.
deluded with all the boring,mundane work that I have to do everyday, I don't feel rewarded at all. tired, overwork, so much things to do....and it's like there's no end to it....
semuanya yg negative deh.
Tapi....kenapa dan apa sourcenya?
aku mencari2 jawabannya dan selalu mengeluh all the time...
Tetapi, apakah semuanya itu berguna untuk hari2 didepanku yang harus kulalui?..
It took me weeks even up to now, I still need to really remind myself all the time that my future in front of me is sure and bright.**

I guess I was just blinded for a few months.. and Thinking about it made me irritated as I have wasted my days thinking over things that i shoudn't really think too much right now.... I know God has great plans for me and I am really looking forward to those thngs he has provided for me. Have FAITH><

Well, I think a little differently now . After my crazy days.. I decided to stop all this unecessary unhappiness and unwellness in my mind. I think if I continue on, I might not be able to live anymore. This is a real stress, that I have never felt it in my whole life!. Never!! as my life has always been so happy ,smooth sailing without anything to worry about. God has been sooo good in my life and I still believe that He will not let me be down for so long. Giving me hope still and I am so glad i saw that stray of hope...He never let me face this alone. MAny things now has changed and my style, thinking, hopes, dreams, and my expectation for my future... the nearest future.. is my work. I have to finish it well!!!!!!

After that long I realised... if you want to do big things it comes with big responsibility. Really.. getting promoted and to stay at the top may be the coolest thing that you wanna achieve, but with the responsibility that you need to take.. if only you can see the future, you may think twice about that. Thinking that life can be good and easy. well, it may be the opposite.

However, we have to take all the chances and opportunities to improve ourselves!. The difference about today and tomorrow is that Today you can't do it, but tomorrow, you can! today you do the wrong thing, but tomorrow you do the right things and will not make the same mistake twice. phew.. it's about your knowledge and experience.. unfortunately in my case, there is really sooo many chance to make mistakes. I am so amazeeedddd. Experience really just takes time to get it... the older you become, the more experienced you will be! hahaha,need to sacrifice our life time.

Just with a blink, I already haev a year of experience. cepetttt nyaaaa........and I realised...
jewellery is such a troublesome thing plus the process from designing to making to selling is suchhhh a tedious job!!!! there is just so many tiny things that you need to pay attention to. it's Wow!! heeee... something to interesting,cool, wow,beautiful,but it can also be mean, frustrating, irritating and.....

capeeeekkkk!!! but if I look back now, I have been really through a looott!!
wooooowwwww!!! nothing comparable to my study for 3 years in RDI. I learnt it all in just barely a year. everything and more!! ! hmmmmm.. Now, what should I complain, I am more skilled,with my experience, and a bit of savings. Why am I still unhappy.
Hahaha,... Tomorrow! I still have to face tomorrow and the week which seems like a long way to go ..if you think about it.. it becomes weeeek! wek! hahaha...unbearable pressure! phew...

OKay..tomorrow... let me worry tomorrow.
Think positivly and face it bravely!
Only in my mind that I can't do this.
I am sure that everything is done for my own good and bright future..
Successss!

cheers><
I feel so much better after writing all this.
Phewwww..... Adem ayem.^^

HOngkOng life...

I am back to Singapore...
akhirnyaaaaa....><

It was a fun experience..
eventhough I have to stand for the whole day..
endurance is good sometimes.
have to serve customer in chinese.
It was tough. but I got away with it. hehee...

Exhibition jewellerynya memangk kerennn
orang2nya juga look... good.
haha.. cuci mata.

melihat orang dari different2 negara memang interesting.
Semuanya punya features muka yg beda dan distinctive.
kaya org korea.. aga kotak2,
jepang, mata sipit2 tapi manis...
arab mata2nya gede2.. russia.. cantik bgt!! tinggi putih dan enak diliat de..
nglihat ciptaan Tuhan memang luar biasa. hahaha...

Setiap hari kerjaannya banyaaak banget.
ngeluarin perhiasan,, masukin , mbersihin kaca,
greet people kalo mereka liat2, explain to them kalo tanya,
njagaiin orang. soalnya banyak banget designer yang liat2 dan bos ku very particular dengan hal ini.

Aku di maraiin sekali gara2 aku ga ngliat ada org pake Hpnya ambil photo perhiasan kita.
wah... mana aku bisa prevent itu..
aku juga bingung gimana lagi...

yaa kadang sebagai designer kalo mau mencari idea memang harus professional.
use the photographic memory kalo bisa. hehee...
karena setiap piece yang dibuat adalah hasil dari pemikiran orang.
dan itu tidak gampang untuk dipikirkan.
yang sudah menjadi designer will know what I mean.
It's really irritating for people to literally copy your ideas.
hehehe,

gitu deee Hk is fun.. cool weather..
shopping ini itu dan sempit..
hehe..

I am looking forward to my nex trip ke indo nih><
udah home sick..
