On China and other countries when it comes to winning medal...
is that ....even when I saw them winning gold medal on diving ....the coach and the swimmers were not smiling or dancing or taking their flag around....
when the Silver & Bronze medalist were screaming smiling partying celebrating
and when China win silver medal ...
they cried...
when the bronze medalist are dancing and swimming and jumping into the pool ...
hahahaha......this is sad for me...
If you remember one of the scene in Glee Season 3 early episode... Mike Chang got an A- in his chemistry test.
Guess what the father says ? "A- is an Asian F"
haha.....funny....and sad at the same time...
sad that sometimes......*if not everytime*... Chinese care so much about this "face" thingy... We don't get to celebrate when we are not the best.... the number one.....the world record maker...
haha....and why oh why am I born in such a race when I'm totally the non competitive, the no achiever...the "ai ya....big 3 is good enough lah....the process is what counts" ?
haha....hanya Tuhan yg tau...
haha....sedih gw buat the silver medalist....andai dia tau betapa special and jagonya dia :P

Olympic
So.....2012 update
Let's start with what's close to my heart right now : OLYMPIC :)
Jadi gw cukup heran sm Olympic ini at the beginning karena, kok ga ada yg gembar gembor soal Olympic ini ? Kok kayak kurang hype gitu ? It's OLYMPIC my friend. Gw yg bukan sports maniac aja cukup very much excited hearing the word Olympic .... tp di tanggal opening Olympic which is 27 July, twitter gw lebih penuh sama Step up revolution punya premiere daripada Olympic opening :P
Then, luckily for a good companion in office, Xilin who is a sports maniac amped me up with lots of information on who to expect, what's happening, what's good and what not :) So kita kerjanya bahas olympic terus terusan ...en thanks for Olympics gw successfully kurang tidur coz keranjingan nonton sampe jam 1 malem ++.
Then, for this olympic...anehnya gw ga root for Indo or SG.... tp China or USA :P HAHAHAH :P soalnya 2 itu yg top player di atas so ... the game will be quite seru and it's mad to see the standard these 2 countries are setting. Gw jg suka Russia when it comes to gymnast ennn.....wad else : synchronise swimming
And now that the game is coming to an end, there's 2 things yg bisa gw simpulkan :
Gill pernah bilang kl she's a game person. Gill sukanya yg tanding, maen gitu. One on one or one group to one group. Karena itulah Praptanas berjaya di Bible Camp kemaren coz they are gamerz. They play very well... they are game. Dan....through this Olympic gw berhasil ambil kesimpulan kl gua : totally opposite :P HAHAHAH :P
Gw ga suka nonton yg game gitu, even though di dalemnya ada SG or Indo. Contoh: Badminton dulu .... dimana semua orang Indo kita berjaya dapetin gold medals, itu gw tonton karena bapak en emak gw dominate TV :P mereka maksa satu keluarga buat nonton :P selama nonton jantung gw naekkk turun lebih parah dari roller coaster. Kl menang, gw bahagia bener. Kl kalah, I'm more sad than the player. Krn itulah along the way gw cenderung nonton ke arah gymnast, diving (loncat indah), swimming, synchro swimming, athletic... apapun yg bukan game. I realize di olympic kl ini kl gw bener2 skip the game... :P
Now the second thing is : just when you thought you've seen it all, the fastest, the best, the most beautiful, the most agile.....there's always something better coming up. Sky is not the limit here... Universe is the limit I would say... dan gw di rumah cuman bisa melongo kayak kambing ompong ternganga nganga en do standing ovation tiap kali I saw sth amazing :P ahhaha :P gila ini orang2..
Mari kita lakukan some pale comparison: Jadi di taon ini Ieie & Vanya both has done their 10 K run. Ieie selesai 10K around 1 hour + dikit. Vanya sekitar 70 menit....gw ? ga pernah 10K :p hahaha tapi for 6.4K gitu gw perlu sekitar 50 menit ...yup gw emang leletzz....
Those olympians : finish 3K in 10 Minutes... dan for 5 K ....mereka cuman butuh 15 menit !.... 15 MENIT sodara sodara !! dimana gw paling cuman 1.5 - 2K by then :P...gilaaa :P *nyembah*
Sekian olympic update gw... for those who miss it : go you tube Synchronise swimming by Spain, Rusia, China. Diving by China. Gymnast girls by USA. En malem ini sabtu August 11 midnite: jangan lupa nonton Brazil VS Mexico for soccer man final !!
That's all for now....till another 4 years to come :)

Be the change that you wanna be
Somewhere somehow, I guess you've heard that statement before.
I had
I understood the meaning.
But I guess I only embodied and walked the true meaning of the statement now. With some modification in between.
Don't be the change you do not want to become
That's what I've learned out of the whole 2010 quarter life crisis. You see, life can truly be a bitch sometimes. And I just read from some funny posting in FB : life is definitely a bitch. Coz if it's a slut, it would be too easy :P haha ! it's funny I think :P Wad's ur say ? True that ? ....true that !
Life isn't always smooth. And this is another common sentence that we always heard being asked. "Why do bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people ?" In the coarse of life we're walking, really....don't u ever feel so tempted to just be these bad & negative guys out there and experiencing the good things ? Even worse, I don't seem to see retribution served back right at them. And the worst of them all, is they got praises my man !! For being effective, efficient, top achiever, money maker and all the glories world can mention.
Makes you question....why don't I just join them ? Why don't I just be bad ? Why am I so frustrated that such ppl lives, and they lives happily. Where is justice ?
*sigh
If you really need to know my feeling, bacalah Amsal :P I think it mentions about the evil getting all they wanted.
Yup...life can be a bitch sometimes. And that's exactly why I thank God for placing at every single corner and angle of my turns of life, a truth enforcer. Who are these enforcers ? Just some random people whose existence is not a coincidence and they somehow arrive at the right moment on the right time to speak sentence that "wake us up" and "pull us back"to the track where God wants us to be. This time it's my boss. She just slap me with "God is watching Mel. Have some faith in God. He is just. Retribution will come, whether we know it or not. As for us, don't be them. Don't join them. We know too well what they do is bad. We see it, we feel it, we suffer from it. So why would we want to be them Mel ? Don't be the change you do not want to become"
I didn't get it at first coz really I so wanted to just be bad and be ignorant of all the consequences. So tired of being good and seeing no changes, no pay out....zero.
Zoom in to 2012. I was having lunch with Kikoko :) It was a tough day, as usual. Lunch got delayed to 1.30 PM. As usual, I explained my day. What made it so tough, what are my options about it, and how I wish I can just do this, but instead I can't bring myself to do that. And I consciously choose to behave a certain way as I do not want to bring myself to do the other end. At the end of the conversation, Kikoko just summarized, you've changed Mel. You've been better. You've come round. You wouldn't choose this before.
I was surprised myself at the option I chose. And that's when I realized that I have truly understood & embodied what my boss said :
Don't be the change you don't want to become.
If God who is good is in us, He has made us good. Don't be the change Him & us don't wanna be.
I'm glad He stopped me.
And here comes another famous paraphrase:
When the road gets tough, and being bad, doing short cut, be negative ignorant manipulative seems such an easy way out
Stay true to who you are.
Stay true, to who we are...in Christ....
Now who are we again ?
We are the one who has been made right by the blood

new profession
This posting is in green... Green is for cleannn :)
Thank you buat my hozmates Depotz yg berhasil menemukan spesialisasi gua dalam hal blogging, dia nyaranin gua buat blog review soal :
ALAT2 BE-BERSIH RUMAH
Muahahauehauhueuahueau :) Pertama2 gw ketawa berat... setelah dipikir pikir.... eh why not ? hauehauhahuehuah ....dia ngeliat begitu berapi apinya gw...dan mata gw...tiap kali gw show alat bebersih rumah gw yg baru :P
Tapi biar clear disini...kl saya bukanlah cleaning service ataupun bergerak di layanan jasa bebersih. Gw juga tidak menyediakan jasa bebersih gratis, unless orang2 itu special buat gw en ada occasion yg special :) jadi jangan tiba2 gw terima tawaran job bersih2 rumah yak.....pushing gw...
En jangan ketawa !! Fenny Lo pernah dengan sangat happynya nawarin "Bie, kl loe don't mind terima 50 dollar buat bantuin gantiin jadwal piket gw seh Bie...gw rela deh Bie 50 dollar kl buat loe seh"
Tentu saja gw tolak dengan halus. Bukan masalah apa, tapi gw lagi ga butuh duit saat itu :) aueauhueha ....kl gw pengangguran fren ---> akan gua lakukan dengan senang hati :) Cuman harga gw udah naek sekarang :P Yah namanya jg inflasi !! Itu Fenny dulu bilang gitu di taon 2006-an teman2.... beda taon beda harga dunks ? Nah...kl sekarang ada yg berani bayar 80 - 100 for 4 hours of cleaning by me, sini gua bersihkan !! DP 50 % upfront yah :) Cuman terima cash, or internet banking langsung to my account :) Cheque jg boleh lah.... no nets or credit card :) HAHA :P *wuih peluang bisnis*.... bagi yg berminat contact gw....nanti gw kirimkan resume bersih2 gua... :) HOHOHOHO :)
Nah, kalian pasti mikir kl gw rajin bebersih !! ... Salah besar :P Siapa seh yg rajin bersih2 ? hauehuah :) Gw seh bersih2 karena emang gw lagi jadwal piket. En krn emang udah gw commit to myself nyapu ngepel kamar seminggu sekali... itu commitment...bukan masalah rajin....hanya masalah commitment yg Thank God dalam 12 taon gw di SG, plg lama kamar gua ga di sapu pel dalam 2 minggu itu ga lewat dalam itungan 5 jari. Tp sekali lg, itu hanyalah commitment
Karena ga rajin itulah, gw bener2 demen kl bisa ketemu alat2 mutahir yg bikin bebersih itu jadi ga se-dreadful itu. Dan kl gw udah ngerasain khasiat alat itu, the next I do is : explain secara detail ke orang lain soal kecanggihan itu alat, ala salesman :P Depot suruh gua sign up jadi salesman nya magic clean :P Tp iyah dong, barang bagush harus dishare2 ...betul ?
Anyway you do agree with me kl bebersih itu .... dreadful kan ? (mendengar sejuta mahluk yg baca blog gw angkat paduan suara yg indah bener saying "agreeeeeeeeee") Sutuju...bebersih itu .... blueh :P karena itulah benda2 yg mutahir itu ibaratnya kl kayak ngelahirin anak...mereka itu epidural lah ..... nah ... yg ga tau epidural itu apa, google ajah :) jangan nanya gw :) Gw cuman tau Lydia Sistasi swears by that, and Wynne langsung bilang "I'm in heaven" gitu pake epidural :)
Tp........ berasa ga seh kepuasan yg didapetin wkt rumah bersih itu ....apalagi kl batu sampe bunyi nyitttt nyitttt gitu .... en kinclong.... kl gw bilang seh ngalahin capeknya bebersih. Nah persis bener kan kayak beranak ? Sekali anaknya nongol....nyesss ... semua sakit ilang :)
En prinsip gw, kl emang harus gw kerjain..... mari kerjain dgn segenap hati jiwa dan raga2.... daripada setengah setengah :) Ikutin prinsipnya Giulanna Rancic : go big or go home
Di tengah2 kehidupan gw yg mana vision gw agak2 blur, ga gede ga kecil.... clueless sometimes.....gw cukup kekeuh to do things that I have to do ....perfectly :P Mungkin mimpi gw ga besar, ga jelas malah kadang2....but on things that I stumble upon as something that I can't runaway from, it could be something that I don't necessarily love doing but I have to do it...yah ... must as well do it whole heartedly lah .... :) nanggung gitu loh ....
so ...nantikan posting gua soal si alat pel mujarab yg so far gua udah punya 2 biji :P the latest one is the improved version dari yg sebelon nya.... heheheh *excited !!*
AYO BERSIH2 !!
yg mo hire me, silahkan comment ;)

to begin with wants
This is a very belated post. Meant for Jenita, somewhere in May 2012. I only manage to post it today June 10' 2012. Here we go :
I for once never a girl who know surely what I really really want
This is not the whole passage. I cut them short, putting the one that I think will fit the most.
I know purpose & vision is truly needed for a life well lived. But when we seems not to have it all the time, we just need to remember and trust in good faith that we have been trusted unto the best hands. The Lord of the universe, upon whom relies our purpose of creation.
Not everybody born to know what they are born for from the moment they understand A B C. I am not born that way and I learned to question my purpose of creation sometimes, and accept to learn a life led by creator one day at one time, the other time :)
And what better, than having our life align with His wants ?
Jia You Jen :) Not knowing doesn't means not doing :)

I for once never a girl who know surely what I really really want
waktu kecil bokap pernah bilang sama gua and dede gua.....
anak papa payah neh .....pada ga tau mo jadi apa gedenya.....liat ajah dibawa jadi apa nantinya :P
hehe.... I agree with him...
gw bener bingung gw monya tuh apa kl udah gede nanti.....
and yang jadi masalah sekarang : kl udah gede nanti ...udah tiba..
it's no longer kalo....and no longer nanti... it's here....and now... gua gede sekarang
So I understand fully how your feeling is Jenita :P .....
I..am as clueless as you sometimes......and I know this feeling sucks...
But imagine you... have 10 more years than me... :)...you're still better girl :)
And if somehow my life can be a testimony or a blessing with you......in this "no purpose driven" life that I've been living......then this is a tips or two that I once read in my colleagues's wallpaper
Courage Jenita, do not stumble
Though your part be dark as night
There's a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right
Let the road be rough and dreary
and it ends far out of sight
Foot it bravely strong or weary
Trust in God and do the right
Perish policy and cunning
Perish all that fears the light
Whether losing whether winning
Trust in God and do the right
This is not the whole passage. I cut them short, putting the one that I think will fit the most.
I know purpose & vision is truly needed for a life well lived. But when we seems not to have it all the time, we just need to remember and trust in good faith that we have been trusted unto the best hands. The Lord of the universe, upon whom relies our purpose of creation.

Happy birthday Mama :)
My mom's Birthday today, May 12th.....Happy 62 Mom :)
Funny how her birthday falls closely to International Mother's day... and to me, she's the epitome of unfailing unconditional love I've ever have in the entire universe
My mom doesn't make big bucks like some powerful women I know.
My mom doesn't wear clothes like Anna Wintour or any other fashionista. She hardly wears make up, not even powder. My mom doesn't bring me to shop when I'm depressed. She doesn't kiss and hug me when I go home Indo. She doesn't own a single branded thing at all. She hardly even know what brand is.
My mom doesn't know who Kardashian or any other hollywood big bucks name. The movie she has ever watched was Jurrasic Park and Mr. Bean, and she watched them with me & my sis. Only 2 movie in her entire life. My mom has never been to Europe, Korea, Japan, Australia, Africa, and not even Bali.
My mom, is just a typical 62, Indonesian Chinese housewife.
She was born in a well to do family, yet she chose love over wealth having to wait 12 years for my Grandparents approval to marry my dad, who came from lesser to do family.
When she wants something, she fought for what she wants fiercely, yet she will never disobey her parents for that.
Yes, my mom doesn't show her love physically by kisses and hugs any other given day. When I put my arms around her, here's what she says "panash Cie. Berat pula" >_<
But when she loves me :
She wake up in the middle of the nite to fan me and my sis when the electricity went off
She made me went through "Q&A" session before exam come, till she's sure I'm good enough.
She rode a bike to send me my lunch every day when I'm still at primary all the way to sec 3.
She taught me how to clean house, make my bed, cut papayas, use sewing machine and all the good old fashion wife does.
She forced me to stand the heat of oven and made me bake lapis legit when she needs to fetch my sis while the cakes are half way to be done.
She sends me to accupunture session hoping that my eyes that has 1000 degrees of myopia can be slightly cured.
She drove me & my friends to angklung competitions, and all tape all our session. She's the only mom who does so. On top of that, she sent all my friends home, one by one.
When she loves me :
She make lemper for me when I told her my friends love it
She unfailingly prepared Bakso goreng each time I'm flying to singapore
She knows I love sekba, bakmi ayam, and nasi padang and those are my must eat, each time I go home. And those are exactly what I got every time I went home.
She, despite her busy schedule, always took time to make sure that all the clothes I need her help to fix, each time I brought them back from Singapore, will definitely be fixed by the time I fly off.
She make sure all my clothes are washed and dried before I pack them up when I'm about to fly back.
She make sure all my clothes are washed and dried before I pack them up when I'm about to fly back.
When she loves her family:
She take care of her brother's shop that the brother left to open another new store somewhere else. Despite the fact of her not knowing "barang bangunan" fields growing being "anak tukang lampu Edison", she still mend the shops and learn all the new term and price of the thing one by one.
She braved herself to teach Mandarin and be the main bread winner for the family even though she knew she doesn't have any diploma / bachelor's degree in Chinese lit, when my father was forced to retire. To improve herself, she took additional Chinese course to enrich herself with knowledge. Up till this date, she still dreams of getting a bachelor in Chinese lit, one dream that we sadly have to force her to put off due to her aging years.
She stood up on behalf of all her sisters to stand against some siblings who wish to get all the inheritance for themselves, making her the hated busy body. Sometimes I disagree, yet for all, I respect her for standing up !!
My mom. I don't need her kisses and hugs and words to know how much she loves me. Because I know her action speaks for all. When she loves somebody/ something, she will fight for her love passionately and fiercely. And I know, I am loved :)
And for everything she has done, I have more than enough of a Mom, a super hero, a super woman to look up to:) For me, my mom is enough :) I wonder will I ever have a love so fierce like hers. I know at least for now, I can never match her up.
Happy Birthday Mama :) Wishing you many good years ahead, and I always pray for you to get to know Jesus some day. May He be your comforter, source of peace, foundation of your joy, and when yours and my time come, may we meet again in heaven, His home.
I salute you:)

Tersebutlah March 24 yg lalu I opened up my bday celebration with nothing less than medical check up on nothing less than Saturday morning at 8.45 AM !!!! Gw pikir gua bakalan naek taxi ke Novena for such an early appointment....amazingly gw berhasil bangun early enough to reach there via MRT hoho #bangga
Then, I just got my results last Saturday.... dengan hati yg deg degan...gw datang ke Novena, pikir telat (harusnya jam 11.45), taunya nunggu sampe jam 12.45 baru masuk...
JRENG JRENG !!! dan inilah hasilnya
1> The obvious : beginilah kata dokter gua..... tanpa ba bi or bu :
erm..... a bit overweight ya... (thank you for putting the word abit Doc....how comforting)
2> No Cholesterol problem in anyway.... YAY !!!
3> High bilirubin. Apapun itu artinya...
4> No hepatitis A antibody. Need to take injection.
5> On blood's diagnosis, Doctornya bilang my red blood cell jauh lbh banyak banding my white blood. Banyak bener (lewat bates). Also, I have Thelamisia ..... ga tau deh gimana spellnya... katanya ini seh genetic. Intinya cell darah merah gua kecil2.
Gua tanya gimana benerinnya ? Apa concernnya ?
Answer : no cure, no concern unless I'm getting married. Intinya kl calon suami gw ada Thelamicia jg, baru ini concerning... this is more into baby's forming problem...
In conclusion : sbelon gua pacaran, gw perlu minta medical report calon pacar gua...
HAHHAHAHHAHA:P
That's all !!! In any case : saya senang cholesterol saya rendahhhhh !!!!! In the world where I always have excess from the rest of the normal Asian bodies (excess weight, height, fat, etc etc)....I finally have something less than the rest !!! YAY !!! Though emang cholesterol ga pernah jadi terlalu masalah for my family members, still... senang :) Thank you God !! hoho
yah..kl ada A B C or D for weight report...... I guess it's safe to say that I am B.
HALELUYAH !!!!
HALELUYAH !!!!

Kartini
At YRC 21st of April kemaren, TLG news tayangin one special edition on girl's Power. Intinya the guys of TLG direkamin, wishing thank to girls of TLG. Dimulai dari what's their impression on TLG women, and then went on to thank TLG women
At first I wonder why ada special TLG news like this. Gua ampe mikir ini gara2 Godly men, perhaps one of the topic diajarin how to appreciate women. Atau malah the first topic langsung diajarin soal women appreciation ? haha ....Just my random guess....till I realize kalo 21 April kemaren is Kartini's day, and probably the reason for the very special TLG news edition.
Speaking on which, Ibu Kartini, it's pathetic how hard she has fought women's cause then, only for me to find now in 2012 I still have to continue her fight. Mungkin bedanya cuman satu. The world didn't even give the chance to women then to enrich their knowledge and life then, than they do now. Counting on how much politicians and women playing the big picture in the windows of the world.
But no, that doesn't stop the world of 2012 from looking into a woman, Indonesian Chinese especially, who is 31, single, totally available, and not very eager to quickly join the celebration of maternity her friends are having.... as a handicapped !
Despite her fight, her strive to learn new things every year, her joy of freedom of unlimited possibilities, her passion to be happy and happier every single coming year...... Nope. None of the above is relevant to what a 30 sth Indonesian Chinese woman should do and should be.
Hmph....pathetic isn't it ?
Dear Ibu Kartini,
We were born on different span of season. Of very much contradicting race, family background, believes, upbringing, religion, and everything else you can name. You might be surprised that so long after your passing, I'm still here continuing your fight. Funny how our path cross, and how the world hasn't changed that much.
Whatever it is, here's my salute for standing up strongly for your cause, pioneering the road I can understand to walk, and making it way much easier for me now, than it was for you then. I cant even imagine how difficult it was then. Thank you Dear Ibu !!
the girl who wish to carve her own path of life

Malesh
Recently....
yg udah jelas banget for sure...
gw... males nge-blog...
#duh #soobvious
Tapi waktu gua nonton The Vow on last good Friday, kebayang kl misalnya kita suddenly amnesia !! Then there's one question asking, do you keep a journal / diary / blog ?
NAH !!! Karena itu ngeblog itu penting...
so sesusah semalesh apapun gw nge-blog...let me just update the events that have gone unwritten in between March 17 to now...
Which is safe to say ....
nothing much happen ...
except : Gempa di Aceh, drama di BCS PW mailist, my cousin "Superstars" wedding, and...OH ! me turning 31, and many rounds of eating and eating and eating and eating again.... Barosa, Mozza, Chef Novena (Nuradi family), Mad for garlic, Kim Chis, Soju, Pinot, Sauvignon Blanc...ini kok jadi makanan semua ??
Oh yah : a new group in my life has arrived : MBS : Mari Berjogging Sama2 ....di sekitar MBS : Marina Bay Sands......bersama MBS : Melissa Bombie Surya...
Members (so far): Iot, Ieie, Dedie, Andreie (habib), Lorenie Amandie ...en bombie.... semua yg ie ie aja dah....thats why kadang2 Jenie ikut..
Been 3 weeks kita lari bareng every wednesday.... since then my running capacity udah nambah :P Thank God :)
Another great news :Eric & Wynne's boy is here :) Hellow Ethan Jake Frans :) Visiting time soon !!
Sekian dulu deh my life update ..... after liatin facebook postingannya Denny yg bilangin kurang tidur itu ga baek.....I will repent and sleep more.....
Anyway : in case I got insomnia...I should remember all these ....especially the FOOD :P hehehehe :P
Last random thought : April itu.... cepet banget seh berlalu ? Tangan gw masih kebiasaan nulis bulan maret...April udah mo abish....
Ya sutra...

April
It's April
And i thought March gonna be a blood bathe for me thus the posting of Philippians 4:13
But it seems to me now that from this month onwards the "iceberg ahead" warning sign is signalling LOUD en CLEAR
Still... Is anything too hard for God ?
This is just a training
For our final battle, hasn't even begun !! HWAITINK !!!
On another note : I have completed my dental visit, medical check up visit, and skin doctor visit !! Yeah baby, u're not getting any younger, so ya better watch out :)
yg pasrah : bombie {=^o^=}
