SUDAH

So...I think things are pretty much done with that person. We got into an argument and things were said that probably won't be undone. Things had been rocky for awhile so I probably should feel all THAT surprised. Funny...I feel bad, but I also feel OK (after having a good walk and talk and then a good cry...whoopss CRY?? No no no). I don't believe in airing that much dirty laundry (well...unless it's someone ELSE's haha) in my blog anymore. I think there's enough negativity around without me adding mine to the emotional blogosphere. I would like to thank everyone for being supportive or wishing me good luck (Ginno, Donny (mwah!), My sister(s), Paul, Jason).

I guess that some things just aren't meant to be. I think that person needs someone I am not willing to be, and I need someone that person either isn't ready to be or just may never be. That's not a good start...people shouldn't have to change to be together. That doesn't preclude evolving or learning about yourself though. I definitely learned a lot about myself over the past 2 months. Most of it will really help me become a better person, a stronger person, and the kind of person I should be. I can honestly say I finally learned a few important lessons in unselfishness.

I do wish dia luck and happiness. I am sad that we couldn't find it together. I'm honestly a little bit scared but I know I'll make it through. I've done it before, I'll probably have to do it again. I know I can be strong, now I just have to put it into practice.

PERPISAHAN PALING MENGHARUKAN

Given the fact that i dont normally make friends through uni. Its simply because we are not gonna be in the same class/same subjects every semester. And i find its a bit hard for me to maintain the friendship.

So selama ini pertemanan2 yang terjadi dari aku di Holmes, CQU, and back to Holmes semester2 lalu hanya sebatas Assignments. Normally we only meet, talk on the phone or see each other when doing the assignment. Apart from that BYEEE....or gak ada contact lagi. And tujuan pertemanannya biasanya hanyalah BERSATU untuk MENDAPAT HASIL yang BAGUS di assignmentnya. Apart from that, kita gak keluar bareng, gak jalan bareng, apalagi curhat. There's no way none in the world.

Tapi semester ini unique. Aku seperti biasa, sangat tidak bergabung dengan anak2 Indo di Holmes. Gak tau kenapa. Tapi yang tau aku orang Indo pun juga aku enggak terlalu dekat dengan mereka. Enggak tau juga kenapa. KArena mungkin aku pikir juga emang enggak mau friends di uni. Bukan berarti enggak ada teman di uni loh....cuma yah kalau ketemu cuma di uni doank abis gitu udah.


NAh semester ini, ada 2 orang yang menjadi highlight. Kasana Sangthong (Thai, 23) and also Liu Yuan (21, Chinesse tapi high school di sini). Anyways, awal semester, mereka berdua tidak saling kenal, and akhirnya kenalan. Abis gitu mereka ajak aku gabung di group assignment di salah satu kelas yang kebetulan kita bertiga ambil.
Eh, makin lama makin ke sini, kita jadi semakin dekat, apalagi aku dan KAsana. Kita kebetulan ambil 2 subjects yang sama, jadi intens ketemuannya lebih. Tapi begitu juga Christine yang process perkenalannya begitu cepat and akrab and warm....


Akhirnya kemarin Rabu, adalah hari H nya kita. Karena thats what we r in the group for due out. Alias assignment groupnya due.
And kita lumayan berhasil di assignment role play and written assignment itu.

Karena seringnya kita discuss and ketemu and ngobrol and also how we have put efforts toward this assignment. Kita ngerasa kita harus reward ouselves.

JAdi malam itu kita pergi ke one of a nice THAI restaurant in the city and makan malam sepuasnya sampai mencret2 deh pokoknya....
Karena kita realised bahwa itu adalah hari terakhir dari perjuangan selama ini. WOW!

and also sedihnya, that night might be the last night and day we met each other karena kita realised next semester semuanya akan ambil pelajaran yang berbeda.
Ada kesedihan sih di setiap mata mereka...bahkan Christine /Liu Yuan enggak nyadar langsung peluk aku and cipika cipiki and thanking me atas bantuan ku and efforts ku untuk this assignment, karena dia sadar akhir2 day kemarin dia kurang involve di assignment ini karena dia mesti buat assignment lain yaitu business law yang lebih berat, tapi kita enggak apa....

And dia bakalan liburan balik ke chinna for three weeks after exams and she's gonna buy me something cute (whats that?? i dont know) from there!! eheheh


And also MUMMY KASANA yang always Marahin aku tiap kali group meeting aku telat, enggak tanggung2 telatnya pernah sampai 2 jam!!! Adolf...1?!? iya tapi waktu itu karena aku mesti ngantri di DOCTOR waktu itu karena sakit. And iya dia marah2 tapi bukan ngambek, tapi bilangnya gini "Adolf...your late habit is soooooooo bad....its ok if you late for the meeting...but what if you late for the exams?!?!!? i dont want to happen to you !"
Wow keren banget temanku yang satu ini...

Tapi aku langsung jawab, "Im sorry, but for the exam i never late tho, im always here 30 mins before the schedule" and dia bilang "thats good, but please please please....dont ever be late again.....you know...two girls are waiting for you....!!!?!?!?"

Aduh malu nya deh....masak cewek2 yang nunggu aku kalau meeting...!?!?

MALU ABIS...
Tapi gak apa....
At the end of the day, they're still my friends...and they still like and love me as friends too hehehee...
Its just something for them to put up with it (i.e my lateness habit)

PINK...thanks so much for being my inspiration!!

KEEP ON SHINNING ADOLF!!

Senang sekali hari Minggu kemarin 17th June 07 was the first time in two months i went to Newtown.
After all that happened in my life over the last two months, finally im back in my home church NEWTOWN.

Caecil was doing her job real well as usual. She conducted the choir and also she did the responsial psalm and alleluya. ALways WELL DONE!!

Me? As normally i played the organ, but last Sunday, i added my features by playing AVE VERUM half way. Wow....!!! its such an incredible feeling when you're able to play with your heart too...and people seemed to enjoy it so much. The weather wasnt that good that day. It was a bit chilly. But they enjoyed my playing.

Anyways, on the communion, i sang a song called YOU RAISE ME UP, with my background voice on the CD. I wasnt planning to sing that song tho, but just incase i felt like singing that song, i brought my CD player and my own CD. Also, i was still coughing, and i was worried if in the middle of singing, i'd cough. Thats why, pre-recorded CD always comes in handy when needed.

Anyhow, i really took my time when singing that song...and did some more improvitations....and i liked it.
At the end of the song, Om George Wongso came up to the front to make some announcements to the congregations, but BEFORE he did his speech, he said " TERIMA KASIH BANYAK ATAS LAGU YANG BEGITU INDAH YANG TELAH DI BAWAKAN OLEH ALDO..." And quickly, the congregations responsed by giving such huge applause to me....Plus Romonya sebelum berkat penutup, sempat kasih THANKS also from mimbar.
Gosh!

I felt so honoured. Very rare a person sing solo and get that applause. Not that i expected that one, BUT, in fact that there has been some issues going on lately *lirik2 Vera and Cil* and after all that has been said and happened, PEOPLE still appreciate me and my sister sooo much, and i thank God for that...


Anyways, last note. Thanks for my immediate circle of friends....who have always been there for me. You know who im talking about. Only you guys that i trust, that i wanna know about. I dont care what happens out there, what people talk about out there, but only u guys and my family that matter to me.

Keep on rocking guys!!
Cheers
Adolf

FoReVeR?? How long is FOREVER?

Sampai akhir menutup mata....

PAGI YANG INDAH

Tadi pagi ini, aku dibangunkan oleh telp yang berdering berkali2 jam 8.30am. Agak kesel sih, tapi yah jam segitu memang semestinya aku sudah bangun. But hey, tadi malam aku tidurnya jam 12.30am you know!

Ok, malah yang telpon itu CARI orang yang TIDAK TINGGAL DI SINI. Wah tambah kesel.

Ya sdh, langsung aku buka computer, siap2 untuk kerja. And buat MORNING TEA deh instant yang ada susu and gulanya langsung.
YUm....

Dari sela2 curtain, aku lihat cahaya yang keren. Ya udah semua curtain di ruangan ini aku buka. Eh...memang keren. Karena aku bisa lihat pohon2 di luar sana gerak2 ke sana ke mari. Tandanya, anginnya kencang.

Bayangkan, cuaca pagi ini MENDUNG. and agak DINGIN
And i thought to myself....HMMM THIS IS WHAT THE WINTER SHOULD BE LIKE...keren bangen. Aku serasa benar2 di luar negeri....

Asyikk....

Sampai rumah jam 11 malam

LIBRA

Horoscope for Libra
"Libra, the Scales"
24 Sept - 23 Oct

The ruling planet of Libra is Venus, named after the goddess of love and beauty. Next to the sun and moon, Venus, the Jewel of the Sky, is the brightest star in the firmament. Libra’s symbol is scale, a reminder of perfect balance. Libra is the only inanimate sign in the zodiac. All other symbols are either humans or animals.

Libra is considered the best zodiac sign. This is because it represents the best time of the year and the high point of all the seasons. Librans are considered to be beautiful, kind, balanced, civilized, elegant, and charming. They are gentle, and the connoisseurs of beautiful and artistic things. Above all they are always in harmony with themselves, their circumstances and with all their friends, colleagues and relatives.

Librans are very intelligent people and have an impartial, objective and balanced sense of judgment. They tend to ignore the challenging opinions once they have made their decisions. On the whole, Librans are cool, even-tempered and diplomatic people.

Librans are loving and affectionate spouses and tolerate even their personal discomfort to make their marriage a success. In case of conflict of opinion with their spouses, they try to pacify their partners in order to reach an understanding. They are trustworthy people and can successfully function as trustees and bankers. They maintain their optimism and zest for life even amidst adverse circumstances and succeed in bringing a turn-around in their situations.

Loving, cooperative and compassionate souls, as the Librans are, they try to accommodate every one’s needs even at the cost of their own comfort. They detest injustice and cruelty. Librans are endowed with keen observation and artistic temperament. They perform their duties with great care, integrity and honesty.

Librans are sacrificial people in their personal relationships and can go a long way in compromising even with the perceptibly unjust demands of their partners. They try to resolve the differences with peace and persuasion rather than argumentation. They are romantic people and have a healthy love for the opposite sex.

But Libras have their failings too. They can sometimes be light-hearted and shallow in their opinions. They are conventional, conservative, timid, sometimes lazy and least resistant to injustice. They tend to ignore the unjustified criticism of their opinions and conduct. Libran women tend to be extravagant and careless about their money and over pamper their children.

PENYAKIT

Sebenarnya sih menulis ini bukannya BANGGA tapi yah cuma ingin mengungkapkan saja ke BLOG ini.
Aku batuk sudah sekitar 7 mingguan. Berbagai obat udah dicoba. Terakhir ke Doctor Prakash. Keren banget tuh orang (baca: Pintar)
Aduh, aku juga capai banget batuk2 terus. PLUS LEBIH ENGGAK ENAKNYA LAGI....ENGGAK BISA NYANYI. Udah dua kali di suruh solo di NEWTOWN aku enggak pernah bisa, thanks to my sister who's always there for me to take over my 'job'.

LAgian aku udah 7 mingguan enggak ke CIC Newtown.
Anyways, ke DOCTOR PRAKASH hari Selasa. Diambil darahnya. Karena dia curiga dengan RAPID WEIGHT LOST yang aku alami...bayangkan BERATKU TURUN 7 KGS dalam 6 MINGGU. WOW. Sekarang ADOLF nya SLIMMISH.

Tapi DOCTORnya bilang itu terlalu BANYAK and terlalu CEPAT.
Aduhhh aku udah explained ke Doctor itu bahwa AKU EXCERCISE akhir2 ini incl. JOGGING, WALKS, BADMINTON. Semuanya bisa di bilang REGULARLY every week. Plus NO JUNK FOODS anymore. Jadinya yah hasil akhir, beratku yang dulu 75kgs, sekarang hanya 68kgs

Sudah 10 biji celana and 12 biji kaos and TSHIRT di altered oleh TAILOR ku menjadi SMALL SIZE. Dari LARGE.

Aku yakin, WEIGHT LOST ku ini gara2 giat excercise and makan yang sayur2an kalau malam TANPA nasi. Also, aku cuma minum susu pagi hari. Siangnya baru GAHAR makannya.

Ok Selasa kemarin di ambil DARAH and XRAY.
Rabu kemarin aku udah dapat hasilnya. Aku came back to my doctor and saw the results.
EVERYTHING is just EXCELLENT. Despite all of the cough that i have been having since the last nearly bloody 7 weeks, IM A HEALTHY BOY. Thats what he said. No virus, no anything suspicious, no cholesterol (well ada sih, but VERY VERY VERY LOW), no diabetes, everything 's NEGATIVE. Tapi ada satu virus yang POSSITIVE tapi aku lupa namanya apa and itu bukan NEW VIRUS, but i have had that in the past and its just recurrent.

XRAYnya gimana? XRAYnya MANTAB. Semuanya CLEAR. Gak ada yang bengkok atau gak ada yang NGE BLOCK.

OVERALL Im so proud of myself about it.

Anyway, doctor said there are few possibilities:
1. Viral Bronchitis Infection
2. Asthma (bukan yang sesak nafas or bengek gitu yah)
3. Whooping Cough

And semuanya ini BUKAN PENYAKIT PERMANENT ku and BUKAN CRONIC juga. So i shouldnt be worried too much.

Anyways...yah tapi akhir2 ini aku memang agak worry sih, especially people are worsing it by telling me that SOMETHING's WRONG with my chest etc. Coz the cough that im having at the moment hasnt gone.

Tapi yah setelah periksa2 ini itu, yah ternyata ok lah...
Plus tenggorokan ku agak RED tuh kemarin di check...

Hmmmm susah juga yah...
Yah what i can do is keep praying for my illness so that it will go very soon....im so sick and tired of it...
Bayangkan COUGHING EVERY 2 mins...
DOOOOHHHHH
But again, i have seen many people are worse than me. So in this case, im still lucky. Masih bisa bersyukur lah....
