I've been suffering from conjunctivitis (google lah if don't know.. =P) for almost 3 days....its either because my eyes are polluted with charcoal dust (bbq last Monday) or low antibody. But I guess its both...Been really sick for this week starting with 2 days of fever and then cough and cold...then my eyes... Then my long time best friend suddenly called me to meet up this Friday which is tomorrow to be exact. All I can do is keep on praying and praying asking God to heal my eyes. Was reluctant at first because of thinking of going to clinic to let the doctor check my eyes...but I never doubt God's power of healing...cuz He is Doctor of all doctors...true enough this morning my eyes are getting better and better...no more red eyes... praise the Lord!!! I can go for tomorrow's dinner already!!

God Is Able

It's finally 2012...Happy New Year!! Sorry I know I'm late... was planning to blog on new year's eve but eventually there's New Year + Lunar New Year dinner at dad's company. Went to Grand Millennium hotel for dinner...awesome food and awesome people..er...but I don't really like the celebration on the roadside...'scary'...with all the sprays n stuff...it makes us hard to cross the road to get back to our hotel. Anyways it's day 10 of the new year so once again HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012! (can't wait for Lunar new year!! 2 more weeks..heheh.. )

Went over youtube and searched for Hillsong's God is Able...first time hearing it...and fell in love with it...gives me goosebumps....almost shed my tears too....power of God!!

exam in 2 more days...GOD IS ABLE!!

Merry belated Christmas!! another day to remember...

Merry-belated-Christmas peeps!! Had a great time celebrating Christmas at church last night and thank God everything goes fine. Well except for me...something is wrong with my keyboard....and another major issue (for me only lah..) that I fell down the stairs at church while going down (Laugh la laugh....but you can't even laugh when you're me..-.-). BUT thank God for giving me quite so-called fast reflexes, when I fell I grabbed the handrail ASAP or else I'll be getting broken/twisted legs or head injury or even any other injury. Managed to survive with 3 bruises. 2 on my left leg and 1 on my hand. GREAT...my burn injury not even getting better and yet I'm getting another injury.... T__T

Anyways, went to Bukit Bintang last Saturday for a 'rush hour shopping'. Was suppose to be today's shopping but in the end decided to go last Saturday due to Charles & Keith sale period that ends yesterday (went panic after seeing their announcement that the sale only left for 3 days). So since Karen and I got no time to go yesterday that's why. We managed to buy our desired stuff. I bought C&K handbag and pumps from Summit. Totally in love with them!!! (Well though I'm kinda 'tomboy-ish' but I'm a girl too...opps...young lady....heheh....slowly changing my style) Cut short the story, we went to both C&K shops at Fahrenheit88 and Pavilion and then went back home...but kinda worth la since we get what we want.. :)

Alright gotta sleep now...my friend told me that my dark circles are forming these days...hmm...time to look for an eye cream?? @_@

Finally Two and ee one!!

My birthday just ended 35 minutes ago.....would like to thank everyone who take the effort to wish me via SMS as well as Facebook. You know who you are :)

As expected no celebration at all....I think its my first birthday that has no celebration at all....totally quiet n lonely birthday....and of all the ages it has to be my 21st birthday (well....most people celebrate it big cuz 21 is a legal age for young adult). Honestly a bit upset..no cake to blow at this year! I should buy n blow the candles myself lol.....but its okay....very thankful that God gave me blessings through 21 years of living!!

I wanna buy a new phone for my 21st birthday....self-given present since I received nothing this year......been aiming on that phone....hopefully by the time the price drops...hehe...budget buyer...or should I buy tablet?? so indecisive...blehh...

Also this is my first time crying on my special day...all because of Listerine mouthwash...tak boleh tahan....

Appointment with dentist again tomorrow...didn't expect her to take off my braces also...since I always keep on expecting and expecting...so tired to expect therefore there is no need to expect already.....grr..

I'm back....

Finally returned to KL after a week of holiday with my family at Jakarta, my beloved hometown. Oh we did went for Bandung for 2 days but kinda disappointed with the weather...it's not chilly anymore...totally warm....did not even had the chance to use my Uniqlo Fleece jacket....haha.... Anyways we had a very busy 7 days...from morning 7am till at least 11pm we're out meeting old friends and acquaintances....7 days is just nice to meet all of them...but I think we need at least 10 days so that it won't be that rush compare to the 7 days.

I asked God for an answer regarding whether should I work or continue for degree since my diploma was kinda disaster. Surprisingly on my trip back to Jakarta, everyone gave the same answers no matter where I go. All of them said the same thing = CONTINUE YOUR STUDIES. I was kinda alarmed by the responses. But yeah, everyone needs a Degree cert in this era. Diploma won't bring you up that much. So I guess I must sacrifice another 2 years for Degree and then proceed to work.

Its already December...the day is coming and I feel so old actually....missed those schooling times!! Being a child is better than adult cuz they got no problems at all....sigh...its okay...glad that God gave me a lot of blessings throughout these 20 years.....11 months and 2 days...... I don't expect anything for the next 3 days...its just another day actually....planned to do nothing...

My back pain comes and goes and it comes again after my trip...sigh... T_T

MO.A tomorrow...too bad couldn't go and see SuJu, Fx, MissA and B1A4. haiz.....but I really wanna go 18th Dec's one....Xander first solo fanmeet....how nice to have a good time with him that day....but for the sake of exam so forget it..... :'(

Didn't know that my family is having some Christmas activities tomorrow..so Christmas officially starts tomorrow :)

goodbam! (note: bam as in night in Korean language )

Ramblings

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:21:00 +0000

Listening to I Will Be There by 3rdWave.

It's already mid November.....and I need to be productive at least.....need to study all those Business Finance all over again and again....been reading them since I seen my result......wanna do some part time but parents wouldn't let me to..... so my life is currently sticking with BF until the day of my resit exam. Thinking of not continuing for degree anymore and find work instead.... I know diploma is not enough but I think this is my limit...and time is not enough.....everything is going on fast.... I think it's almost time for me to earn a living for my family....sigh....kinda depressed when thinking of these....but thank God things are getting better....Dad is not angry anymore since 2 weeks ago......before that he was like kinda stressed up when he was talking to me...probably cuz of my result and also the accident I caused..... the car got scratched a little and the house gate was broken.....so basically I'm adding the fuel (as in causing accident) to the fire (bad result in exam). I prayed and asked God to heal his broken heart....because I know as his daughter I'm not being good enough in my studies....and once again God answered my prayer. Dad always smile and laugh now compare to the past 2 weeks...I'm relieved.

People may look down on me but I believe this is God's way for me to become a stronger girl. My diploma years was a disaster but I get to serve Him in between of facing those hard times. I believe this is not a coincidence. Everything is not a coincidence but it's HIS plans for us. Thank God for giving me the talent to play keyboard at church...the voice to serve as singer at church and some technology knowledge to serve at CF then. Remember God give you talents for you to serve HIM first before others so give your all to serve :)

Counting down on 11 more days for my whole family to travel back to Jakarta. I'm being excited all over again. This is my hometown and I always longed to go there. Would like to stay there again if I could. Haha....

Nope this is not an emo post :)

ALL GLORY TO GOD!

From May to October

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 10:05:00 +0000

It's already mid October...and I realised that my blog is quite 'dusty' because I did not update for a long time. Many things happened during my absence from blogging. Sad n happy things. But the most sad thing is that my grandma had already returned to the Father's house in heaven last May.

It happened when she slipped off in the toilet and one regretful thing is that she is coming with grandpa 3 days later (3 days after she fell she supposedly to come to KL and meet my family). That news was really a shocking one especially for my mom. She didn't see her mom for such a long time and already prepared to meet her but I guess God loves her more. Cut short the story, we went back to Kalimantan for a week for the funeral process. I miss you dear grandma and I know that we will meet again soon in heaven :)

My studies...I didn't make it through this time once again...could not blame anyone but myself.....I always asked myself why did I entered this course...I should have entered the course of my choice....but alas...sigh... what has happened already happened. My pastor came last night and told me to never ever give up and I need to have that fighting spirit. Well actually I almost gave up in the middle but I tell myself to finish the race. Only 1 left and I need to finish this. And I know God never forsake his people. I believe it's His purpose for things to happen. Pastor also told me that while he was praying for me, he saw some snake-like creatures. I think I need to pray more and get rid of the bad stuff that I might be involved indirectly (I don't know what it is tho...). Anyways, only I know what I'm facing for these few months and I will never give up. Doesn't matter what people say about me because I believe that the best is yet to come :)

Kpop updates...jajjang!!!....er....I went to U-KISS' fanmeet showcase at Pavilion last July and also Korean Music Wave 2011 at Stadium Merdeka last September and it was super DAEBAK and awesome concert. Did not plan to go actually but at last went cuz there's UKISS performing and Kevin and Dongho were one of the emcees for the night...heheh....another reason is to see Big Bang's GD TOP and Seungri...too bad it's not 5 of them...no Big Bang songs performed that night...only their solo songs. I was amazed by the power of Malaysian V.I.Ps (Big Bang's fans) actually. The crown lightsticks was all over the stadium. O.O

Love all the other artists too = FTIsland,TeenTop, 4Minute, Park Jung Min ( makes me miss the whole SS501..). All the performances are jjang! =D

Went for 3rdWave rally featuring Alexander (my bias since U-KISS), Brian Joo and Pastor Johnny. The rally was awesome!! Can see their passion on spreading God's word :) By the way some technical error happened and therefore I can't really hear Xander's voice T-T and after that he went off after a few songs. Brian's n Ps Johnny's praise n worship singing are awesome too. Glad to hear that some of the pre-believers are saved. Glory to God! :)

Alright...I'm done with my updates....

*removed the cbox (too much spam) and thinking of a new layout...hmmm*

Kaulah Harapan

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sun, 01 May 2011 17:20:00 +0000

Howdy folks! I'm back! It's been really really long since I had written the last post...duhh...haha...Newayz thank God for what HE has done for me throughout my life.... I feel so very blessed with everything....and I pray that everything will be the same to you too :)

I sang this song while serving at the church as back up singer just now and this song really touches me. Without You Lord I wouldn't be able to do everything. Look through the lyrics and ponder on what God has done to you. May God bless you! Have a nice day :)

(By the way this song is in Indonesian language)

Kaulah Harapan

by Sari Simorangkir

Bukan dengan kekuatanku

Ku dapat jalani hidupku

Tanpa Tuhan yang disampingku

Ku tak mampu sendiri

Engkaulah kuatku

Yang menopangku

Ku pandang wajahMu dan berseru

Petolongan ku datang dariMU

Peganglah tanganku jangan lepaskan

Kaulah harapan dalam hidupku...

Surprise Blessings from God :)

Listening to - 그여자 (That Woman) by Baek Ji Young, Secret Garden OST . Got hooked up with this drama since I finished watching it 2 weeks ago. I must say that this drama has got a creative storyline (though I declined about it before it reaches episode 5).

That's not the main topic tho...haha... Before I talk about my 'grandmother' story, I'd like to thank God for His showers of blessings upon me and my family. Seriously this has really make me felt really thankful and grateful and what He promised you, He sure will do it for you. Remember about my previous post ? I was saying that I'm going back to the place where I was born do I? God fulfilled my wish of 12 years and though I know that it's been quite a long time, but nothing is impossible if you wait you know :)

On the first day I've wasted my whole day of 5 hours traveling to Singapore's Harbour Front and 45 minutes of riding MRT to Changi Airport to meet my aunt. Then we took our plane off to Jakarta via Garuda Airlines for about an hour and 20 minutes. I reached Jakarta around 5.30pm (Indonesia's time) and finally reached my cousin's house at Senayan after stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. But it really feels good when I reached my hometown! Nothing can describe my feeling....well I feel like telling everyone in the airport that finally I've come back after 12 years..LOL....

Ok back to the main story... On the second day my aunt brought me to Plaza Senayan cuz she need to buy her CNY clothes. That time I was thinking whether I've ever been there or not....kinda hard to flash back my memories....it feels like you've lost your memories after and accident kinda feeling.... I was actually thinking that I've never been there... But once I saw the big clock in the middle of the shopping centre, I finally remembered. Ugh...well I think I need to fix my brain a bit... -_- sigh... had Nasi Bali for lunch and it was really awesome....haha....keep on telling my family to eat it when I saw the menu here in Sunway Pyramid a few days ago...

On the 3rd day, my cousin brought me to Grand Indonesia shopping centre to have our lunch. We had dim sum for lunch and it was really gastronomically delicious....tak boleh tahan... haha....then went to Senayan City for a walk with aunt since we're on the way back (my cousin's house is behind Senayan City).

4th day I met my aunties and uncle (mom's sisters and brother) and we spent the whole day together. They brought me to eat a penyet dish...not ayam penyet but it's called iga penyet. Well iga is beef lah...haha....don't ask me why they called it as iga.... seriously must try! Sedaaap! At night, I met my old friend, Ivana and also her family....Really had a good time meeting them. :)

5th day, since Ivana has got no classes on that day, we decided to have a walk at Citra Land. I really loved to go there since I was there last time cuz it is the nearest shopping centre to my house..heheh...she belanja-ed me tahu gejrot and batagor.... ok I know it is some weird names to some of you...Google it yourself if you wanna see what is it about....haha... they taste good! After meeting Ivana, I went and meet my dad's friend....an uncle and his family... They brought me to Central Park which is also another shopping mall but it's newly built lar....then went to their house and went to Itasuki for steamboat dinner.

6th day, went and meet my old neighbours whom I used to play with last time. And they were so surprised to see me grow "this" way... well hope you understand what I mean... cuz when I was small, I was a skinny small little girl...unlike now....sobs.... -_-

7th day, took plane off from Sukarno Hatta airport at 9am to Changi airport....as the airport is taking off, I almost shed my tears... Not because I'm a cry baby but because I was so so sad to leave the place where I loved the most and to add that I was touched by all the blessings that everyone has given to me...all the cares that they've given me....I really don't know how to repay them....Only God can do so...

And sorry there's no pictures....cuz my phone went dead for a few days and I left my camera at KL...camera rosak.... sigh...

As usual I celebrated my CNY at Singapore and this time I've finally stepped my feet on Marina Bay Sands! Yay! My whole family (4 of us) went all the way to the 56th and 57th floor which is the top deck of MBS and the view was amazing...you could see the whole Singapore! haha...

View of MBS from the road below. The top deck a.k.a Sky Park connects all 3 buildings.

A swimming pool along the Sky Park....you can watch the scenery while swimming...

Saw this building while viewing the sceneries at Sky Park. It's an art museum if I'm not mistaken :)

Singapore Flyer! Would like to visit this next year.. :)

Look at the vehicles!

Touch point...touch point.. :)

A Sky Bar near the sky :)

More buildings are constructed..hehe...anticipating...

This man is juggling 56 floor above the land...

Esplanade! which always reminds me of durians...hehe...

Well that's all for the update....result is gonna be released next week! Nervous! O God please send away my worry feelings....Amen!

Awesome payback...

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:59:00 +0000

Yellow peeps! Happy new year! Sorry for the very late post......but it's still new year right?? :)

Been very busy preparing for exams earlier....went and stayed overnight at Pik Teng's house and had a great time studying together which consists of 'torturing' ourselves to wake up on 4am almost everyday just to read up our notes....but that's okay....those stuffs paid us off anyways... thank God for the exams :)

Last week, parents and Sam went for Singapore for dad's company annual dinner...and yes I was being left out because of the exams.......I was so upset because if I were to join them, I'll get free tickets to go Universal Studios Singapore. I asked God why must be on the days where my exams on (NOTE: I didn't blame God....just wondering why...) And yeah then I told myself to quit thinking badly of not going Singapore and just focus on my studies....and yes I managed to get hold on my exams...Credits goes to God :)

My aunt came last Saturday and stayed with us for 3 days....We were so happy to meet her after 12 years....and then she gave me a good news....she said " Since you're on holidays, why not you come back to Jakarta with me?" Well I thought she was joking (but her expression was kinda serious about what she's talking about) and I was kinda hesitating for a few minutes.... I agreed when she asked me for the 2nd time again....I really thank God for giving me such a great payback :)

Even so, I still need to take the consequences of travelling alone to Singapore in order to meet her at the airport. I'll have to take bus to Singapore by myself and then followed by MRT to the airport....No worries...I know God is with me all the time :)

Shall be back on 2nd Feb to Singapore and have a reunion dinner with family and of course celebrating Chinese New Year :)

I shall have fun back in Jakarta...I've been missing that place a lot and only God knows.....and I think that's why He is giving me this golden opportunity to go back!

Will do more updates regarding my journey there... I'm SO EXCITED!

Till then...bonne nuit mes amies!

Farewell 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 06:08:00 +0000

Wanna thank my family and friends for encouraging, helping, cheering and also praying for me...I couldn't repay you guys with material stuff......but I will pray for all of you :)

Uniqlo's grand opening :]

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 04:08:00 +0000

Woot woot.....went to Uniqlo's grand opening yesterday morning itself! It's a last minute plan with my friend Pik Teng. At first we were kinda hesitated of going there but decided to go the night before the grand opening. Reached Fahrenheit 88 at 9am and we already seeing people queuing up from the main entrance of Uniqlo store till inside the mall! It was really really a long queue! Was feeling a bit down cuz both of us already estimated that we wouldn't be the first 1000 people to get the free tote bag (at first we thought its a goody bag) so we went and take away McD breakfast first before queuing up.

Went back to F88 mall and in the end we still ended queuing up because of the excitement of getting the bag though we don't really think we'll get it. Queued till we sat on the floor due to the long hours of waiting. So we kill our time by talking and having breakfast and talking. LOL....

Uniqlo's floor plan.

See the crowd! All of us were excited as the store's gonna open!

Taking pics while killing time..... hehe...

It took us 3 hours for queuing up till we get into the store. Gosh I've never queued this long in my life just to buy some apparels. Guess I was influenced by the marketing system huh.......

This is only a quarter way through....very long queue!

We're standing opposite the main entrance....still need to wait....

While queuing, its already 11.30 and we thought we couldn't manage to go to French class at 1pm but suddenly my friend smsed me and told me that our class has been cancelled! Both of us were truly overjoyed and we're happy to do our shopping without any worries of being late. And guess what? We managed to enter the store as the 818th and 819th person! We got our free tote bag! Yipee!

Love the combination of red and white!

As we entered the store, we quickly grab the shopping baskets and the first thing that I've wanted to buy there is their Fleece collection jackets. It's so soft, warm and fluffy! Got myself a grey coloured one. Then we proceeded to the 1st floor for women's apparels cuz the ground floor was really really packed up with people. Didn't managed to choose t-shirts and didn't managed to go to the 2nd floor due to the crowd and lack of time. So in the end we could only grab a fleece jacket and some leggings. The leggings are at RM10 (usual price RM24.90) per pair and everyone just grab it without looking any further. Leggings sold out in a few seconds!

Pik Teng look so cute in this!

She look nice in this hat too :)

Anyways customers will experience 3Qs there as they have to queue to get into the store, queue to try the garments, and lastly queue to pay. Thought of buying UJ (Uniqlo Jeans) but didn't managed to cuz of the long queue in the fitting room! The prices are so affordable as they are doing their grand opening special price. Overall I'm satisfied with my fleece jacket cuz I only need to pay RM29.90 (special price RM49.90. Usual price RM79.90) cuz I've won a RM20 voucher from their web. Seriously worth the buy. Heard that each person's average spent was RM500. Wow......the power of marketing! Neways, the staffs there are very warm and friendly people! Heard that the next outlet will be in KLCC! I shall go and queue up there again.....LOL....maybe only lah....never thought that the people here are so crazy when it comes to apparel. I'm one of them. LOL.....

101010 day

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 17:13:00 +0000

First of all.... HAPPY 101010 everyone! and its a Sunday too! Blessed Sunday people! This date only happens once in 100 years.....woot woot...hahah.... hope you all have a great time spending this special day.... Blamingmyselffornotpostingthepreviousyears'date.......... =.=

I had quite an experience on Friday night.....its really rare for me butforyouidontknowlah... Went and send brother to his drum class and at the same time was really feeling joyful cuz dad told us that we're gonna go Ikea and jalan-jalan. Well for me it means jalan-jalan cari makan lah... cuz I really love their meatballs you see.....simply gastronomically delicious! Belum cuba belum tahu, sekali cuba hari hari mau! But don't eat everyday lah cuz you will get high cholesterol...eat once in a blue moon =P

The story's not end yet.... Bro finished his class and its time for us to go! Dad told me to drive this time and I gladly grabbed the key from him cuz I know he's tired after working the whole day so why not I become the driver instead... (aww....good daughter....wahaha...) Since Yamaha music is located at GK, we decided to use the shortcut to Damansara using DUKE highway cuz we've seen those signs heading to Ikea before. So we confidently went and use the highway and guess what, we ended up reaching other highways after reading the so called board that displays the place of our direction!

Seriously panic that time, I think we ended up going to Sprint highway and Federal highway....we even got caught in TTDI and got stuck in traffic jams too. Almost went our way to Sunway but managed to return (please buy me a GPS for my birthday thankiu :] ) that's why I've been always nagging at my parents to buy some cheap GPS to direct us in case we got lost.... but it's okay...we are smarter than the GPS for now =P

Mom said that we've been going for a 'trip' around KL and Selangor (yeah I totally agree....) We sat in the car for like 1 and a half hours..... Dad told us to balik rumah....but I insisted of getting into Ikea store for the sake of the meatballs of course.... Kinda argued seconds before I decided to turn in to Ikea cuz since we are passing by why not we try to go in instead? So I went lor....

As soon as we've entered the parking place, we got a space right away! I feel like jumpin that time cuz my parents keep on telling that there'll be no space to park....

Woot woot! Today is already 2nd semester and it's week 2 already....Time flies by fast don't ya think? Updating my so called almost-karat-ed blog about what I did during the holidays....Praise God, many awesome things happening to me....All those sweet memories will always be in my heart :]

Didin't I post about the WorshipGOD workshop earlier?? Day 2 of the workshop is simply awesome too.... Sidney Mohede did a sharing with us regarding on serving and I was truly inspired on what he does... He mentioned that passion is a contagious thing and I've realized since that time... hahaha....ow Imkindaslow >.<
followed by 2 workshops regarding music arrangement and also how to be a professional. Learnt a lot from them :) owh I love this kinda workshops...I want more.. =D

Attended CPR (Committee Planning Retreat) for the very first time! Though we didn't go anywhere nice, but that's not important anyways, we managed to gather together.... We shared a lot of stuffs and Sister Adrene and Sister Eeling guided us on team building. I lead worship (small one only) for the first time...still learning...haha...sorry for the mistakes dear committees! Got my braces tightened on the very morning of the 2nd day of CPR but that's not gonna stop me from brainstorming with the team. Conclusion, CPR is just AWESOME with God's presence filling the place :]

Didn't manage to go this year's CF R.U.N camp :(

Went to Genting with the girls and tho the weather kinda bad, we managed to play the whole outdoor rides.....we got wet all over, screamed n shouted all over, ran all over, walked all over the place.....LOL...really awesome time we had.....owh too bad no cable car....on maintenance =[

Result was out two days ago.....I passed everything! Praise God! Pass praise the Lord, fail praise the Lord...Praise the Lord in everything! What Kai Xin told me was right...don't assume you gonna fail when you think you gonna lose those marks (cuz I really think that there's no hope anymore...) but have faith in God cuz He will make you go through it and pass the paper :) Thanks Kai Xin!

Tough subjects awaits me...but you know what? Imnotafraidatall....... =P

Au voir! :]

Renewed....Replenished...Redeemed....

What an awesome day today! Praise the Lord for all the things that He has done for us! I was certainly happy for God has made me attend this WorshipGOD 2010 conference at DUMC. More than 80 churches' worship team all over Malaysia and Brunei comes together to seek for His goodness. Currently still attending for the workshops :)

We were blessed with the sharing from Pastor Gleen Packiam before the workshop starts. Awesome and encouraging sharing :)

I was really glad to come for this workshop....really something is working within me....felt so blessed by the organizers. May God bless them abundantly :) Today's workshops that I attended was regarding keyboard in worship and building strong worship teams by Mr. Pongky and Ms. Stephanie as the speakers respectively. I really learnt a lot of things that I've never seen or heard before, mainly in keyboard because my skills are quite low to be exact and I'm glad to know more about keyboard-ing. Need to brush up my skills!

As for building strong worship teams, I've learnt that to be in a team, all of us must really know each members personally and build strong foundations spiritually with one another. When one does not committed and is not spiritually well built, a team will be in a bad condition. Well to cut it short, the most important thing in a team is relationship with one another and most importantly with GOD....remember this ya worship teams! :)

Another thing that I'm really glad for is attending Sidney Mohede's praise and worship session. Always seen him leading worship via YouTube but not in real life. So today was suppose to go back after the workshop ends but in the end I was given the opportunity to attend the praise and worship session. Would like to say well done to Mr. Sidney and team for lifting up the worship atmosphere. I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit over the auditorium :) Hoping for True Worshippers band to do their conference here =D

A song that I'd like to share to you by True Worshippers

YOU ARE MY FATHER

Songwriter: Arvid Gunardi & Sidney Mohede

Verse 1:

It doesn't matter where I run, You're there for me

It doesn't matter what I've done Your love's for me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

Verse 2:

It doesn't matter where I go, You walk with me

It doesn't matter when I fall, You cover me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

Chorus:

You are my Father, Provider

You're my Deliverer

Your mercies embrace me, surround me

Through Your everlasting love

Father I worship You

And Your love is for me

And Your love is forever

Falling in Love

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 19:59:00 +0000

Falling in love with someone is indeed indescribable...what's more falling in love with Jesus? And of COURSE He forever reigns! Only in Him I can peace.... He is my best friend.... my pillar of strength.... I am NOTHING without HIM.... :)

Forever Reign

Hillsongs

You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost it's sting

Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus

Absence....

Hey peeps sorry for disappearing for like a month....seriously got so many things to do and many ups and downs happened during that 1 month.....as for now I'm having a semester break for like 3 weeks and will return to college again soon....

Feel ~~kinda~~ not-so-good during these times...... so many problems in and out..... this and that..... some you could share it with your friends but some I have to keep it within myself at all times..... yea I know problems are meant to be shared but as for some of it sorry lah.... haiz..... Pray that I will become strong enough and throw away that kind of thoughts.... cuz I really really need to get rid of that particular problems cuz it really bothers me sometimes.....sigh...

Music workshop is coming....I don't know why I feel so nervous....maybe cuz people from everywhere will come for the workshop....even True Worshippers band members are coming for the workshop..... Yay! Pray that I will get some inspiration and lots and lots of lessons from the workshop..... I am glad to have music as part of my life..... Thank God for the gift....... I will try my best to improve my keyboard skill..... still very weak now....

Can't go CF camp this year...... sad.... will missed out everything especially encountering times with God.......
Can't go church camp also.... schedule too packed..... sigh.....

Oh and yesterday I watched a movie directed and acted by Wang Lee Hom himself, Love in Disguise... The storyline was good and one thing that I got amazed was the music elements that he keep on stressing on in the movie...makes me got interested in Chinese traditional music.... (was already interested in Er Hu before this cuz it kinda resembles violin) hehe....

Okay.....will try to tweet less and update more....but don't expect so much lah.....

Thrilled...

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:38:00 +0000

Sorry for not updating for so long again.....been tweeting much lately...haha.... got to do courseworks and study to prepare for the finals.... btw my BMP coursework ended up alright....PRAISE THE LORD :)

Went and have a date with my donkey years best friend and sisterly Karen yesterday, and we decided to watch the movie Inception since everyone was (used to) talking about it. True enough the movie was well made....and it gave me goosebumps on dreams. And the ending of the movie was erm....hanging I guess..... maybe the director wants us viewers to sketch the ending by our own... One thing, I don't know why I always fell asleep while watching nice movies....(Avatar was my first time falling asleep....) Too tired I guess....
Neways I got to buy Etude House's face highlighter that I've been eyeing on from last time. Yipeee.... Seems like I'm being all Korean.... :P

Today was kinda special actually. Mom's friend decided to do farewell at a Myanmar Refugees center. Decided to follow and saw many children singing and praising God. The kids are so adorable and innocent :) we played with them... tell them stories and gave them gifts and food. That makes me think of how lucky I am now.... thank God and thank you to my parents too :)

In the evening we had Parents Appreciation Day at our church. Had lots of fun though we have to stand and serve our parents this time. First we made them play musical chairs (the host always say " that's why la...who call you to make us play this last time on our birthday?" ) and we had great time laughing with our parents' antics. Seriously everyone was LOL-ing that time. Haha.... After playing, we served them dinner prepared by some of the church's youth. And while our parents are enjoying their dinner, we had some performance dedicated to them. My BM team did 2 songs for our performance. Just wanna say GOOD JOB to all of you and sorry for not being able to practice with you guys.

The last presentation was truly awesome. They did a "Flying Without Wings" mv. The mv was daebak (big hit). They're so creative. LOL. Well I think you should watch it if you have a chance!

Exam is coming in 1 week time. Have to get really prepared. Have you?

a not-so-happening week

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 08:29:00 +0000

currently studying my BMP.....yea sort of flipping the notes here and there.... gotta study smart as exams is just 3 weeks left! seriously NOT ENOUGH TIME man....really not enough.....

this week many things happened and the most devastating days were monday and tuesday itself...... sad but true, i don't know why those days are like that.... monday was kinda rushed with French test....but satisfied with my marks la anyway...then rushed for blood donation..this time i feel so glad cuz my friend PikTeng went along with me and we donated together (except that i have to donate extra 100cc -.- ). The BEST part was when the last few drops of my blood didn't turned out well, the nurse twisted the needle that was already being semi-planted in my arm........ only God knows what is my feeling that time......and yes...my face turned sour then... plus the painkiller not so functioning anymore.....eesh...

went home and walked under the sun like a zombie....good thing did not faint on the road....if not i don't know who's gonna save me also..lol....can't sleep during that night itself...my arm is in kinda bad condition...can't either put it straight or bend it.... -.- as a result.....sleepless night......

woke up as a zombie and that day (tuesday) itself im have my english presentation.....seriously no energy on that day....and my presentation was super bad.......i think that's the first time in my life of doing that kind of presentation......seriously i feel like killing myself that time...my friends, CiaLis and PikTeng cheered me up as soon as im done with the presentation.......seriously feel so down that time...

anyways went to cf after my classes and as we sing the songs it feels like im gaining back a good spirit....no more feeling down.. praise the Lord :)

TS you all have heard the news right?? it's okay.... its not SS301 but SS501 forever......even every TS says so......lets wish them a good career ahead.....i wish them all the best too...they're all very nice oppas.... :)

CNBlue fans and 2PM fans hope y'all enjoy their concert today.....love music...peace...

Infinite jjang!

LISTEN

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:17:00 +0000

people hear but not ALL listened.........

If the day is today....

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:39:00 +0000

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't have found them....

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't have heard those good words....

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't learn new things......

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't probably serve in that ministry....

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't know what it takes to be who and what I am now....

If "the" day is today, I guess I'll never learn things that are extraordinary....

If "the" day is today, I wouldn't learn the meaning of the word FRIENDSHIP....

But I believe the day will finally come someday sometime....

I have FAITH in God that I can do things that people doesn't...

So I shall move on.... AMEN..

~~FACT :Yes I'm emoing...~~

Wait

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:10:00 +0000

Yo wassup people! Sorry for abandoning my blog again....really got no time to post...assignments are flooding in..... really in a big mess right now.... and next week I'll be having 4 course works at once. Wish me all the best.... Really got to cope with so many stuff at one time and sometimes I feel like stopping. But God gave me the courage to continue dealing with them. In God everything is possible! Amen!

Did you ever feel like giving up while waiting for someone / something? Well let me tell you that you shouldn't ever give up cuz God will give you the best one in the end. Trust me. There's a day where I've been waiting for the public bus to go to college near my housing area. My class is at 10am and I went to the bus stop around 9am because I know that the bus will arrive soon and I'll reach the college even before the class starts. But the bus didn't come as expected and so I thought "Maybe I'll be late for the class. Just continue waiting for a bit more and the bus will come." And so I wait and wait and wait.... 2 and a half hours later the bus is still out of sight. And YES I'm totally late for the class. (Btw there are 2 ladies waiting with me too)

I felt so angry that time. Was sms-ing my friend and told her about it. She told me not to be angry and quickly go to the other bus stop (which you have to take 2 buses to reach college) to take other alternative bus. But in the end I still stand there with my 5kg++ bag (no chair there you know =.=''') and decided to take taxi instead ( if there is one passing by).

After a few minutes a taxi appeared and 3 of us decided to take the taxi and stop at Melati LRT. When we reached there, one of them paid the whole amount of the fare. God blessed me indeed! I was so happy. (Btw I wanted to pay her back but she quickly went off after she paid. So me and the other lady was kind of in shock state.) Thank God! :)
