ANGELS VOX - MASS, SUNDAY 23rd SEPT 2007

Kemarin itu ada suatu miracle yang menurut aku bukan hanya semata2 kebetulan, but its meant to be like that.
Sabtu malam, memang aku pinjam mobil merahnya Caecil untuk latihan di rumah ta. Annie di Narwee. Pada waktu yang sama, Sari juga telp and bilang dia missed the train to city and hence, she's gonna be late.

Ok, since i had the car, i offered her a lift from Lewisham with Caecil's permission ofcourse. And yeah i picked up Sari from Lewisham station and we three went to Narwee together.

Tante Annie wasnt home by the time we arrived. At 6pm. She said she's gonna be home soon....around 7pm. She was at Tante Mena's place, and she met my mum there also. ...

We kept practicing while we're waiting for Tante Annie to come home. Finally, she got there at 7.30ish. And we started to practice from the first song to the last.

All of us tried our best, but it wasnt good enough as we havent been singing for awhile. But at least, it was 75% according to us, but only 50% according to tante Annie. Hahaha...We have lost our unity, and need to reconnect.

Its getting late, we thought we 'd finish the practice. Me and Caecil went home. Oh before that, we offered Sari a lift back to Lewisham, we sorta had a feeling that Sari'd be better off to stay at Lewisham that night after practice, but Sari said that she's staying at her mum's place as tomorrow her mum would drive her to Newtown.
I said ok.

SUNDAY
I was meant to pick up Caecil from her place and go together to Newtown with my mum (coz, i had a car, caecil's car that was) But early in the morning, Caecil phoned me and said dont worry about picking her up as Peter would drive her to Newtown. And i said OK good. It meant that i didnt have to leave early from my place.

But my heart 's saying that i still need to go early to Newtown to set up everything, LAPTOP, CAMERA, KEYBOARD and we all agreed to be there at 11am.

So i left home at 10.10am, usually if i needed to be at Newtown 11am, i could have just left home at 10.45am as it only takes 15 to 20mins from my place drive to Newtown. But then, i decided to go 30 mins early than usual.

When i was driving ....in Burwood, i got an sms from Caecil saying that she's gonna be late, she got caught up in the traffice jam. There's a marathon from City, Oxford, and Harbour bridge. But the traffic 's soo bad and long up to Kingsford. They couldnt do anything about it.

I was like WHAT THE HECK?? and i said to Caecil to get off from the car (Peter's) and walk towards to Todmad Avenue at Kensington about 1 km from where she was. And i would pick her up from there....

And Caecil said ok. She had to walk 1 km or run....with her high heels..
And iwas thinking the way to get her, as i couldnt go to city , my normal way. Lucky i found the way from airport. So we went from behind, another way around, Campsie, Rockdale, Airport and Todman Avenue. Lucky and lucky.

I met Caecil and then Sari smsed me too and said, Adolf Im sorry im gonna be late, mum;'s made me to get train and buses. Arrghh..

And i was like ARGHHHHHHHHHH NOT AGAIN!!! i couldnt pick her up as we're running out of time, but at least i have saved my sister, so she would be able to lead the singing.

Gosh, things were sooooooo rush....
I got there at CIC JUST INTIME.
its 11.28am. It meant only 2 mins left until the mass to start.

And Sari came after 10 mins we arrived....

Finally, the pieces of us are completed. Ready to sing.
Its a good experience. We sang, it wasnt our best singing, but its good, considering that we're all rushing....

Thanks also to Alice yang mazmurnya OK BANGET!! NGET!! NGET!! and also Vera yang bersedia untuk memainkan SLIDE SLIDE and set up the laptop aand also beraksi dengan camera/handycam barunya....Good stuff, girls!!!

Last note, Welcome to Amel!

PERINGATAN UNTUK YANG NAIK TRAIN

Kalau udah malam2, sebaiknya naik yang di dekat lampu BIRU (Blue LIght) and gak usah di bawah atau di atas, tapi duduknya di mezzaninenya yang sebelah pintu train guardnya supaya kalau ada apa2 tinggal GEDOR pintunya dia...

Atau juga, kalau mau naik train, LIHAT2, ada orang lain ga di gerbong itu, lebih baik jangan naik di gerbong yang sendirian aja....

Cerita lebih lengkapnya nanti deh ...kalau ketemu

TERBENGKALAI

Imagine, that you have Mon-Fri filled up with Uni, Singing Practice, Working at night.
Kayaknya gak kepegang, padahal aku udah coba untuk sempil2 in ...
Tapi memang harus ada yang dikorbankan.
Kali ini adalah giliran mengorbankan kuliah, karena minggu depan Angels Vox tampil, and kerjaan gak bisa di korbankan, ya udah satu2nya yah kuliah.
Dua minggu belakangan ini aku gak masuk kuliah karena aku mesti buat assignment instead of attending the lecture.

Karena waktuku cuma pagi sampai siang saja, and sorenya jam 3.30pm dah harus catch train, and pulang2 udah jam 11pm....and dinner abis gitu langsung tidur...

Jadi yah terpaksa minggu ini SENIN - RABU gak masuk kuliah karena ada 2 assignments due. And plus latihan nyanyi sama Sari...:(

Anyways...
Gitu deh...

MISA CCD at St Mary's Cathedral 16th Sept 2007

Sudah lama banget enggak nyanyi untuk acara besar, jadi kali ini opportunity yang keren banget untuk nyanyi (Sekalian Pemanasan Suara untuk ANGELS VOX next week), plus reunion sama ALICISM juga. Kalau ga gini gak ketemu2 deh...

Yah jam 12an gitu tadi ngafe di cafe HYDE PARK *namanya lupa* sama VEra and Alice yang datang dengan baju 'pantainya'.
Seru....keren...plus heboh dengan kejadian2 yang aneh, dari salah satu orang yang gak pernah ikut latihan choir, tiba2 datang pas hari H nya, and protest yang bersifat menggurui....

And also ADOLF yang dicancelled on the spot untuk nyanyi Alleluya dari sebelumnya yang di minta last minute untuk replace Sari....Ini kejadian gak bisa dibiarkan terus....its gotta stop! Tante Annie kayaknya TAKE FOR GRANTED dengan pikiran,. OH ADOLF sekali di kasih lagu pasti langsung bisa, jadi gue terus2 an dijadikan 'ban serep', and nanti di batalkan LAST MINUTE di depan orang2 .... Kesannya nanti aku suka2 aja dijadikan ban serep, kayaknya aku harus kali ini ngomong sama Tante Annie deh....and saat nya untuk stand on your own....
DOH!!

Tapi tadi jadinya aku solo responsial salm, and aku cukup puas dengan hasilnya tadi and i guess untuk solo2 mazmur, dari yang dulu2, tadi ini the bestnya aku sih soalnya nyanyinya pakai perasaan and ga terlalu kaku....SAYANg...tdk di rekam:(


Sari nyanyi Alleluya nya juga ok....i wonder tadi ada dari station tv mana tuh di bawah mimbar....hmmmm gotta search for some info about it.

Rupanya, tadi dilaporkan misanya di hadiri kurang lebih 920 orang....GEEZ!!

HAbis gitu,
Setelah misa, kita Alicism latihan di bawah tangga ....maksudnya ALICE nya yang latihan untuk mazmur minggu depan...YAY!! Go girl!

And setelah itu, kita pergi makan jam 5an gitu, di resto korea jepun di city. Dengan gossip2 hangat seputar masalah orang2 aneh di choir itu, dari si A - Z dikupas habis...gak kerasa 1 jam 15 mins di sana...eheheh...

Capai banget hari ini kayaknya full on banget deh...dari pagi sampai malam...


*UNFORGETABLE KEJADIAN DI KERETA MALAM INI*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARI...

HEhehe...parah banget di pesta yang dihadiri kurang lebih 40 orang itu, tiba2 kita di panggil ke depan...NYANYI bertiga sama Sari......Sh&t..
mau lagu apa yah bingung, akhirnya diputuskan nyanyi GOSPEL MEDLEY 3 suara yang pernah kita bawakan 1 tahun lalu...
LOL it went fantastic for something that we havent practiced it for a year....!!!

Angels Vox masih ok juga ternyata...
HAYOOOOOOOO................

STRETCHING MY LEGS....

Today's the first day im off from work...
Well not really off, i still have to work tonight, but it doesnt start until about 5pm tonight.

Since my first day at work last wed, i started early 10.30am - about 9pm except last friday only 5 - 9pm, considering im still in my trainning week until this week.

Luckily, this week's midd semester break from uni, so i can work for more than 20 hrs.
Started from monday this week 10.30am - 9pm
Tues: 10.30am-9.30pm
Wed: Asked for a break but start 5pm - about 9pm depends on how busy we will b tonight
And tomorrow working at UNIAIR in the morning 9am and continues to DHL at 5pm - about 9pm...FULL ON!!!

We are very much looking forward to Friday as its a public holiday (APEC 2007).
Oh having said APEC....my office is actually in front of the special airport for special jet to land in...(e.g Presidents, Hollywood stars, diplomats, etc).
Last night its a schedule for Mr Bush to touch down in Sydney for APEC. We 've been talking about that (people at work) and wanted to see it, as its very close to where we at.

Unfortunately, since Mond evening, the security people have put up a very high fence, covered with BLACK plastic in order to secure that area for Mr Bush to come so that no one is actually able to see him...
What A MAN!!!

Also, yesterday morning when i got in to the domestic airport, lots of security guards and intels there with APEC beigde
Last night, its said that Mr Bush landed 9.30pm and about an hour prior to that, so many helicopters around that area, securing from 'the sky'....

He's very very very important person...
Ashamed we couldnt see him hehehe

FEELING SO BLESSED....

Sometimes i think, "someone above's" so real for me (WELL, DID I SAY SOMETIMES????) yeah actually all the time!!!!

I remember, its not long ago, i was JOBLESS....and got nothing to do except Studying...and was thinking what im gonna do ?? im nearly 24yo, and most people in my age have already have carreer, ALSO having said that im kinda at the end of my UNI...

SHOULD START OFF SEARCHING FOR JOB...

Very often (a month ago) i sat down in front of computer for hours, looking for job...
Went to numbers of interviews, which i got it some and Didnt get some...

Working for different companies for only 1 or 2 days and then finished...

But in that situation, i never lost my faith....kept on searching and kept believing...

Until about 3 weeks ago, my agent said that DHL 's interested to hire me and wanted me to go there to have 2nd level of interview...

And then after that, i waited for about 2 weeks before heard them calling me to start the job and join them....

It all went very quickly, and sometimes..........*tears*....

hmmmmmmm

Anyways.....realising that now im already part of the big corporation...
Working with very nice people and bosses is the best feeling...

And they've been very supportive to me...as well as my bosses...

I have been there 1 week (tomorrow)...so far im doing great...
Started last wednesday with 60 docs that i did at the initial start day....and realising that tonight i did 203 docs....

and learnt lots of things....


Talked to my mum that God's so great, he gives me everything at the right time and place....NEVER LATE!!
And he has answered my prayers and gave me more than what i expected.....

BIG COMPANY, NICE PEOPLE, and The most important is the TIME TABLE perfectly matches with my uni timetable...:)
Now, no more searchingm, no need too much talks....gak perlu lihat kiri kanan....(but always aware of new opportubities) and keep on focussing to job and uni this time!! TUNJUKAN HASIL TERBAIKMU at the end of the day.... YAY!!

Never thought it would have been like this b4....

Im thanking you MR JC!!!
so proud to be your son...
