I can't take it anymore. I need to "puke".
I got so many things to do and it is like never ending.

The one I hate the most is compiling object for all customer version.
Why I hate this the most because I need to do so many steps just to confirm for 1 object.
The steps are:
1. Select from object library for the object name.
2. Select from each customer database to check which customer has this option and which one don't have.
3. Select from each customer user menu, to find out the option.
4. If one of the customer have this object, but is not registered (can't find in any user menu), I have to register it.
5. Open the option/ run the object.
6. If it is a window, I need to do print screen.
7. If it is a report I need to do following steps:

• Retrieve the data
• Trace the SQL to get the report printed. (frequently)
• Retrieve again the data.
• Print the report to PDF
• If report takes too long to load, I need to kill the process and redo again. Which most of the time happened!

The most irritating thing is I have hundreds- thousand object!!!!
I had done for all the unique object belong to each customer. Now I'm doing objects which sometime can be found under this customer and not that customer. Argh!
How frustrating. What is this all about!

Here I am again. :)
Yesterday I went to my customer place the whole day. I was there until 8PM!!!!
My boss asked me to take cab back home and claim later. Even if he didn't ask me to do so, I would do so.
But today I'm in the office, busy since morning clearing all the emails from yesterday. I hate emails. Phone ringing nonstop. Btw now stopped already :)
Today is Friday, but I don't feel like Friday.
You know when you are busy, everything seems pass very fast and even now I've cleared most of my things I still feel rush and can't relax. My mind keep thinking things, what will happen next and what is my schedule next week. Argh.

The exciting thing is my short holiday to KK is coming.
I'll take leave on 11 August. :) My project is still going on that date, but I hope there is no schedule on that day.
Counting days to 8 Aug. :) ^_^ :)
Hehehe...

TGIF all and happy weekend :)

I have this syndrome recently.
Every time the clock shows 4pm++ I'll feel lazy to work.
I'll just slack around, browsing and doing nothing. I still open my application and writing my documents but... my mood is no longer there :(

I need to find true source of self motivation.
I know I lack of motivation in my work these days. I have no objective and I don't know where I am going. I just blindly walk.
Today after being lectured for few hours, I realize a little bit.
Somehow I feel guilty for the person who has dry his throat only to lecture me. I know when the person lecture me is for my own good. I shall thank him for that.

What he said about me I feel that it was not me. I was not my self.
Should I go find my old me? Back to one who is opposite than my current self.
Why should I do this and that? What is it for? What is my objective? Why should I follow the objective people has set for me? I don't know what motivate me to persevere and keep on doing and trying my best. I see no result and I feel hard and pain right now, but I believe I can overcome it if I work hard. Now I shall find the motivation inside myself to push me up.

There is a verse which I want to meditate

Col 3:23
²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,

James 4:15b
"If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

If I want to do the best for God, I shall do it in every where and every area. I shall excel in everything I do. I have to put my heart when I do my work. :)
Thank God for reminding me through certain people. I believe I meet them not by coincidence, but it is Your plan. Plan to prosper me and not to harm me. Thank God.
I want to persevere and I want to see the result.

Well, as many of you know I went to Jakarta last weekend to attend my friend's wedding.
Ok, attending the wedding is an excuse for me to go back to Jakarta. Actually I wanted to eat Gajah Mada Noodle and went shopping @ Mangga 2. :p

But attending the wedding is one in my check list. ;)
I'm sincere though.

The wedding is ok. The bride is pretty and the groom is handsome :)
Of course I wish them a happily ever after life and give them my blessing :p

Well let me summarize what happened on my first day of my holiday.

Day1.
The Wedding
The plane took off on time. In the plane I knew a lady named Susy. Her sandals was broken and I lent her mine. I put my luggage in the cabin. I chatted with her through out the whole journey back to Jakarta. :) Make friend with her and get her contact :) She is friendly.
The flight was very prompt and on time. We landed at 9.45 sharp. Went through the immigration and accompany Susy to get her luggage. She would return my sandals after that.
Run for taxi and quickly head to the ceremony place. I wishes they started late and it was true :D
The whole program was delayed 30 minutes and I was there late about an hour. But I didn't miss the ceremony and the wedding kiss. :D

The wedding dinner
After the wedding, we were back to Binus to have lunch and rest and dress up to go for the wedding dinner :)
I french braid my hair and put make up lightly and I was ready to go to the party! yeah, it's party time :) Chat a lot with friends, eat good food and took photos.
There were a magician named Rhomedal. I don't know him, but the rest of the gals want to take photos with him. They asked me if i want to take photos with him but I don't want. I don't know him btw.

Reunion1
After wedding dinner, I went back and move to Grace's place. :)
It was already long time never see her. I think about 3 years.
We spend the night talking to each other, updating each other and ehm gossiping each other. :p
We got a lot of thing to talk.

Day2.
Church
We woke up early and prepared ourself to go to church.
This time I didn't go to Abbalove but Grace, Lisa, Teddy and I went to JPCC (Jakarta Praise Community Church) @ somewhere near Grand Indonesia. I don't know the place name.
The service was quite pack and a lot of people. The service program was quite short and straight forward. I enjoyed the praise and worship the most :) but there was no fellowship at all.
People can just come and go after that without bothering to each other.

Lunch @ Gajah Mada noodles
After service, we went to Taman Anggrek Mall to have our lunch and we planned to watch transformer. First we headed to XXI to queue for the ticket but the queue was d*mn longgg!
We gave up and just headed to eat noodle. My favourite noodle! :) Yummy!
I didn't bother to take picture of my noodle :p but I guarantee it was yummy.
I don't know why 5 of my friends having stomachache after that :p. The only survivor were Lisa and I. :D

Photos taking
After lunch we went for window shopping. I was looking here and there and comparing the price with Singapore.

Funny.
The first time I came to Singapore, I always comparing price to rupiah.
But now all the price i convert to SGD to justify. =p

We stopped @ Mc D to rest after window shopping. To have a break and take a group photos. :)
I love the photo taking part. :)


Day3.
Shopping Day
Grace and I went to eat Indomie before going to Mangga 2 to shop.
I got the list on hand. I tried to keep me to my budget. I don't wish to exchange another $100. BUT!
You know I run out of money, and I still have a lot of thing to buy to give out for my younger bro and a bday gift for a friend. :(
So I got to say bye2 to my last $. I was clever enough to put aside a few thousand rupiahs for my taxi fare back to airport and rupiahs to pay airport tax. If i never do that I think I won't have enough money to go to airport. :p
Shopping is always exciting. :)

Cut Hair
Back from Mangga2, I wanted to cut my hair. It was dark cloudy and want to rain soon. but the stylist only available every Monday. So die2 I must cut my hair that day.
Straight go to Salon to cut hair. The appearance of the salon made me worried in the first place. But the stylist can cut well and I love the result. :) All of my friends say the cutting is nice :)

Dinner
We went dinner @ 9Pools beside Anggrek Campus. The place is cozy and nice :)
It's not so crowded, it was empty. Maybe because it's new and quite expensive. The food is nice but small portion.
We went to buy Martabak after that. I was longing to eat martabak. It was my last night @ Jakarta also. So we want to have a martabak party. :)

Let the pic tells the story :)

See the martabaks....


and the martabakers...




And each of us pose with our martabak...

This morning on my way walk to MRT, I was wondering, God, who else I can reach out. I think I run out of contact.

Reaching office, I continued my daily routine.
Until near lunch time, someone called me on MSN. The one who was seldom online and seldom talked on MSN recently.
We chatted this and that until she popped up a sentence. "I wanna go to church to see see"
I was quite surprised to read her sentence. I never imagined that she would tell me that.
And suddenly I remembered that this morning I was asking God about the new contact.
and God answers me that fast!

Immediately I asked her to join me to go to church on saturday. She was agree and she would let me know again whether she could make it or not.
I was quite happy and hoping that she would give me good news tomorrow.
Apparently not, she said that she couldn't make it tomorrow due to she has to go back to her hometown to mourn her grandfather a month passed away.
We arrange next Saturday to go to church together. :)

One thing I thank God that He answers my prayer and I never imagine He answers me that fast.
When I remember again back, God did answer some of my 'coincidental' prayer.
I prayed unintentionally and God really gives that to me.
It was about my job. I was saying to God, that I was bored. I want to learn something new or do something new. And... come my boss asked me to do new things/ focus on new things.
I was rather unprepared. And again I ask God, God, why You give me that fast. I'm not even ready.
But I know If waiting for me to be ready, it will never come. I won't be ready until it comes anyway. So even though I'm a bit reluctant, I have to force my self to be ready and to respond positively for I know this is for my own good. For me to equip myself, to upgrade myself.
For I know this is my basic to do greater thing for God in the future. To help me to fulfill the vision God has given to me.
I can imagine if I can learn all those thing and can do it well, I'll be more flexible to move. :)

I salute the person who can say/ ready anytime God call he/she to quit her/ his job for God's calling. I'm not ready yet. I still have a lot of thing to be prepared.

Ok a little bit out of topic.
Back to the main, God answers my prayers, there is no doubt. He answers according to His timing. :) Just believe that.

I felt blessed with the church camp, it is my first time joining church camp :).
All the objectives I've set before going to church camp is fulfilled. Thank God!
God even give me more than what I've expected. I want God to speak to me and God did sent a sister and a brother to speak to me. I get back my excitement in God.

I felt blessed and refreshed with the ministering nite praise and worship.
I also enjoyed so much quality time with my brothers and sisters especially in CG, enjoyed every supper every night until dawn =p. Even though I felt so tired physically, spiritually was charged up. :) I definitely want to join again next year church camp, or perhaps Indo church camp :D
