Get away for a bit



Whoa, it is the time for GI retreat already!
That's mean that we have been here for about 6 months. Time flies way too fast!
Well, me and the team went to Hua Hin, Southern Thailand to meet our leader and another team from South East Asia. Oh it's a great joy for me to meet them because they speak my language!! This is what awesome about being Asian... ha ha ha

Well, we have class from 9-12 with the awesome Mr.Paul Hartford and we have team and individual meetings and stuff. But we also have some free time, ah, that was the best. Not that the team stuff wasn't good, it was very good actually, but when you are in the beach, don't you want to do something other than sitting in the class? :)

So I bike all over the place, took a bunch of pictures and stuff. Get some tan on my skin... which is very unusual for an Asian, but who cares, I want to be out in the sun. Oh I miss the beach and the sand... even though you can't really compare this beach with the beach back home, I still enjoy this beach a lot. And so does my teammates.

What's sad about this trip was that we had a cold days for 2 days, it was raining and windy. We can't even swim in the ocean just because it is cold and the waves are so high. So, me, Jasmine, and couple other people decide to swim in our pool at 8:30 pm and it was pouring rain. BBRRRR... it was super cold. But we got crazy and had so much fun, when other people sit around in their jacket playing Cranium.

It was a blast after all. Just being together with other people other than your team is a great blessings, to share experience and to share life. And it was a very good time to rest and talk some stuff with the team and really have a time for prayer.

We had to cancel our trip to the Monkey Island as well, just because there was no boat out in the ocean. It was a sad day... but it's okay, at the last day we went to the town and we had a LOT of fun!! God is so good, that He blessed us with a lot of friends and a good time at our retreat. It was also hard to say goodbye to another team but it is good to know that we will see each other in campus when we got back.

Okay, that was a little update from me. :)
Enjoy!

My New House

Like I said in my previous blog, that I have moved in to my new house with my new house mates: Jasmine and Amy. There is a lot of things we have to do for that house, but it came with a furniture and reasonable price. We were really happy to have the deal with that house because of the location, that it is near to the city, a walk to the students houses and a walk to the church I am working with. It's just a blessing to all of us. Couple of you have asked what the house look like, so here is some pictures of the house so you can have an idea how awesome our house is. :) This is the front of our house and here's a few shots on the inside. It is not completely arranged yet, but we're getting there. :) Yes, we are so blessed with such a nice house. My room is a lot smaller than the one I have before but I like it kind of small. That way I don't have to worry about cleaning it and filling it. Haha... I am just blessed, so blessed. And this is my new transportation around th

Leaving Thailand

Image
Greetings! In January 2014 I will be ending my term as a missionary in Thailand and will be going home to Jakarta, Indonesia . The ministry that I work with in Chiang Mai is bearing a lot of fruits and things are going really well, but I feel like Indonesia is where the Lord is taking me for this next season. Jakarta, Indonesia, my home, I never thought that God will ever call me back home. When I give my life to serve in the mission field 7 years ago, I never thought that this will happen. But God really is calling me to go back home . And it was as clear as it can be to me. The ministry that I am doing with the youths here are flourishing, the Lord have blessed us so much this past two years, we were able to see growth, new believers and new thing in the Thai churches. But when I spoke with my dad (my senior pastor in Jakarta) couple of months back, he told me that the youth back in my church is falling apart. Ever since I left home, things are ju

Valentine's Day

Oh my... it's been ages since I updated this blog. I am terribly sorry. Ever since I got back to Jakarta, everything just kind of go in super fast pace. Just like the city. For almost 3 years I lived in Chiang Mai where everything is kind of slow and feels laid back, getting back in the mega city has not been easy at all. Though I am entering my 3rd year here, I found it very hard still to find things that I enjoy here (besides friends and family of course). Today is Valentine's Day. For a single girl like me it doesn't feel any different than any other day to be honest. But with the social media and peer pressure on single girl in her late 20s, today can be a tough day to face. I say goodbye to dating a long time ago, I used to date when I was in High School but not anymore since then. I have decided to follow God's calling and took the harder road in leaving home and study as well as serving others in the other side of the world. Many of you are familiar with my s
