SBY

Another week pass...cepet banget! Minggu ini ribet sama persiapan exhibition di Perpustakaan Nasional & Kelapa Gading Mall. Yang berkesan di Perpustakaan Nasional adalah bertemunya kita dengan Presiden SB Yudhoyono. Seru dan berkesan! Dia baru kembali dari kunjungannya di Merapi, langsung membuka pameran tersebut, dan yang berkesan adalah gw melihat langsung dan bahkan bersalaman dengan dia...wiuh...seru banget. He's so...so...cool! Sangat Bersahaja & Wise! Gak ngerti gw mendeskripsikannya...Well, yang penting acaranya sukses & anak2 SPH seneng banget karena buku karangan mereka di tandatangan langsung oleh SBY dan istri serta beberapa pejabat lainnya.

Sabtu besok, Gratia mau ke Puncak lagi, nginep semalem, ngerayain ultah Tinus...well, buddy, happy b'day & sukses terus & Tuhan Yesus memberkati selalu. Mudah2an acaara besok bisa menenangkan hati dan pikiran dan kepenatan.

Rencana juga tanggal 3 Juni Pelayan PT mau Rafting ke Citarik (or Citarum?)..bakalan seru nih...nanti dikabarin story nya. Di PT juga sudah mulai sibuk2 dengan beberapa kegiatan yang harus segera dipersiapkan seperti Pembinaan Pelayan & Bible Camp. Ditunggu berita2 selanjutnya.

Well, I'll see u next time, jangan lupa nonton Da Vinci Code, X-Men, Silent Hill & Superman...those 4 cool movies that u have to see. Take care & GBU all!

Bye bye Chris

Last night was a great drama in American Idol...semua prediksi, semua pooling lewat internet, semua komentar juri tidak ada yang benar! Chris Daughtery dieliminasi! Paula nangis, Simon speechless, Penonton kecewa...termasuk si Chris sendiri. Dia seperti gak menyangka kalo tereliminasi. Semua prediksi bilang dia pasti juara American Idol tahun ini at least masuk 2 besar. Semua kecewa termasuk me...hiks...well, Chris, just move on, i'm sure God already provide great future for u in music industry.

Di SPH-BS sekarang ini kita lagi concern mengenai berkurangnya jumlah murid, dari banyaknya yang pindah keluar negeri, terlalu mahalnya tuition fee nya, banyak buka sekolah baru dengan kurikulum IB juga dan lain-lain. Lagi disusun strategi untuk kembali merebut pasar. Doain ya.

The good news is, my TOEFL score now reach more than 550...thank God. It means...more raise in salary...hehehe...and of course have a chance to study or work abroad.

Di PT Karunia lagi rajin latihan Futsal dan Pelayan PT lagi mempersiapkan diri untuk mulai pelaksanaan program kerja tahun anggaran 2006-2007 (terakhir kali sebelum gw lengser dari ketua PT...hehehe...akhirnya). Ada rencana juga mau rafting bareng...mau banget! Usulan si Berkat gw mesti beli motor...boleh juga sih...biar irit, mungkin Agustus kali ya, cicilan lain habis dulu...hehehe...

Gracia mau jalan juga ke Puncak tanggal 20 Mei ini...seru!

Eh...ada film seri baru di AXN, Supranatural, kocak juga, tentang 'dunia lain' tapi seru. Yang pasti film bermutu Grey's Anatomy di Starworld emang keren. Film di bioskop akan ada X-men3, Superman return, Silent Hill, World Trade Center, Da Vinci Code, Pirates of Carribean dan lain2 yang mesti kudu harus di tonton.

Oke deh, sukses buat kalian hari ini dan seterusnya...God bless u al!

Good Stories 1: Things Aren't Always What They Seem

Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
(Author Unknown)

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,
"Things aren't always what they seem"
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.
"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it." "Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.
"Things aren't always what they seem."

Eliminasi

Kemaren, di acara American Idol, Parish - salah satu peserta yang bagus banget - di eliminasi. I dont understand - really - why she got bad result. The answer is...pooling! We never know people's choice. Sedih sih, tapi terlihat sekali bahwa Parish yang berumur 17 tahun menampakkan kedewasaan yang luar biasa. Masih ada sih jagoan gw yang bertahan, Kris. He's cool.

Well, anyway, i'm just met someone from Malaysia - he's name Bakri (not bakery..hehehe) - he's my new good friend now. He's a scientist, smart & warm person. I'm glad to be his buddy. Just take care u'rself man...see u soon.

Minggu ini juga lagi ada pameran pendidikan di Diknas Bogor. Ribetnya, kita bener2 gak nyangka bahwa stand yang disediakan panitia sangat lusuh, kotor, dan menyedihkan. Senin kemaren set up sampe jam 12 malam..hiks..mana panas pula...hiks!
Tapi semua itu terobati dengan dapet 4 tiket gratis nonton Mission Impossible 3 di Planet Hollywood dari HBO dan Indovision hari selasanya..seru lho! A must see movie! Oh iya, gw nonton bareng Nesa, Mus & Berkat.

Ada juga peristiwa satellitte tv antara STAR tv group (star movies, star world, ESPN, star sports, national geographic, v channel, A1) dengan Indovision. Star group tidak memperpanjang kontrak secara sepihak dengan Indovision yang jelas2 mempunyai pelanggan yang cukup banyak di Indonesia dan pemirsanya suka menonton channel2 Star group. Sempet heboh dan sampe dilaporkan ke pihak berwenang segala. Belom lagi Astro - salah satu penyedia jasa satellitte tv baru dari Malaysia juga membuat statement ke pemerintah bahwa mereka yang mempunyai hak eksklusif untuk menayangkan acara2 Star group...dinilai pemerintah, Astro melakukan monopoli. Wah...ribet euy...well, yang pasti, Star sudah ada lagi di Indovision..yes!

Sabtu ini gw di test TOEFL nih...doain ya, biar score nya naik & gaji juga + naik...hehehe...
Salam dari jauh buat Brahmy di Menado, Isan di Padang...jangan menyerah, maju terus, selesaiin kuliah kalian sebaik2nya.

Well, that's it for now...i'll see u guys later...GBU all!
