Four years after Tsunami

Ronny Luke — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 04:01:31 +0000

Today, we should be contemplating about what was happened 4 years ago. Tsunami forced in Asia and more than 200 thousands people were died. We don’t know what will be happened ahead, we just can pray, hope, and wish for the best. I read a lot of Christmas messages at phone, email, and facebook. People sent a lot of good wish, not a bad wish. People want everything is going fine, not a war or conflict. So, God has sent us signs, we just can wish the best and do the best too in this Christmas and all of our days.

Merry Christmas all,
Jesus was born not to condemn us but to save us who believe in Christ!

Ronny Luke — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:17:02 +0000

Since the end of November, I have been so busy, I had no time to decorate my Christmas tree. I usually initiate to setup this tree on December 1^st but not for this year. Finally, I setup my Christmas tree last Saturday, December 20^th 2008. Wow, it was so close to Christmas day. Well, at least there is Christmas tree in my home now

Everybody Needs To Cry

Ronny Luke — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:05:22 +0000

Everybody cries when he is sad, when he is glad, when he is in trouble, when he is in miracle, when he is in burdens, when he is in cheers. This morning, I saw many people crying when they are worshiping the Lord. I realize that man is weak, man is poor, man is sinful. We need God that understands our tears, smiles, and burdens. Only with God we feel still in the world of evil.

Review My Trip

Ronny Luke — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 06:59:46 +0000

Hm, actually this trip was done some months ago, but I’d like to tell you about my trip with Angga and Randy. Our trip was planned 5 months before we went to Singapore and we bought our plane ticket on April’08. We didn’t tell anyone about this plan.

Day by day, finally it was August 14^th. I went to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, then I meet Angga and Randy outside and direct checked in to Mandala. The flight was delayed for some minutes. Entering the plane, I prayed and hoped that this trip would be fine and pleasing.

Arrived in Hang Nadim Airport, Batam. We direct went to Batam Center Harbour by taxi, I suggest you to buy the Ferry ticket in airport or travel agent, don’t buy it at harbour, it’s more expensive. Finally, we were in Ferry and were ready to depart to Singapore. Suddenly, Iwiet my friend informing me that we had already to set our IRS, oh my God. After 45 minutes, hi all we were in Harbourfront, Singapore. When I was in imigration point, the officer spoke Mandarin to me. “Sorry, I speak English”, haha. My Oriental face brings difficulties to talk to others in Singapore, they think that I speak Mandarin. My brother and his friend had been waiting for us outside the Harbourfront, it was 7 p.m. then we decided to have dinner at Food Republic, Vivo City. I was surprised with the food price, food like in a food store in Depok was priced with S$ 4.5. If I convert it to Rupiah, it’s really not worth, hehe. The most unlucky guy was Randy, he spent S$ 7.8 for dinner (it had been discounted 10%). Angga also had a bad dinner with very spicy rice making him sweating, haha. After dinner, we went to apartment People’s Park Center in Chinatown using MRT (first experience, hehe). It was 11 p.m. then we took bath, set our IRS and slept.

First day in Singapore we went to Sentosa Island. Actually this place was leaving a bad taste in my mouth, it was 10 p.m., and we got temper. An old Chinese man became anger to us because we opened the umbrella in front of his store. The most hatable words were “This is not youre country, this is Singapore, we have regulations!”. We had apologized but he always repeated the same most hatable words to us. Huh. We spent all day in this small island. Using the free bus service arounding this island and visiting all beach are very nice activities. In the afternoon, we played ‘Luge and Ride’, it was very interesting. After that we watched ‘Song of The Sea’ show, it was very wonderful show. With a very tired body we came back to apartment and slept.

Second day in Singapore, we were going to Clarke Quay, Merlion and Esplanade. Wow, nice walking, but raining stopped us to walk. We had lunch at Marina Square, this mall is very crowded. After that, we watched scientific fun show for children at the hall of this mall. I hope there will be scientific fun show for children in Jakarta too. After lunch, we went to an apartment at Bishan to have a fellowship and dinner there (thanks God for free dinner, hehe). We ate Manadonese food, finally Indonesian food. After that we came back to apartment to take bath. Then we went to Clarke Quay again, to enjoy the night atmosphere there. We ate some breads we bought at People’s Park market (cheaper price for late night, hehe). I invited Angga and Randy to visit Merlion and Esplanade on night, but they rejected because their feet are weak, not like my strong feet, haha. It was 12 a.m., “Hi all, this is our Independence Day. Happy Birthday Indonesia!”.

Third day in Singapore, we got up late then went to Church at Kovan. After praying, we came back to apartment then went to Tanjong Pagar Station and took train to Kuala Lumpur. At 9 pm the train was departing. The journey was about 8.30 hours, the temperature was so cold.

Fourth day in Kuala Lumpur, we checked in Pondok Lodge at Chang Kat St, Bukit Bintang. Well, the place is tropical but too minimal facilities. We slept about 2 hours then we went to Petronas Twin Tower, but there is no tour to skybridge on Monday. We had breakfast at Suria’s food court. I really love roti canai and its curry there, so tasteful. After that we went to KL Tower though it was rain. Ha… we had to climd the road, how tiring it is. View from KL Tower was cloudy but cool. We can see Kuala Lumpur at all from this tower. Then we came back to our lodge to take a nap. In the evening we went to Puduraya terminal to buy bus ticket to Singapore. We have dinner at Indian food court, wow cheap and yummy. I took many pictures of Petronas Twin Tower on night by myself while my friends were waiting at lodge.

Fifth day in Kuala Lumpur, I woke up on 5 am, “Randy, Angga wake up!”, shout me. We went to KLCC early morning to get the free ticket to Petronas Skybridge, hoho, we got the ticket for 9 am. Then we came back to check out from Pondok Lodge to Summer Inn (2 house from Pondok Lodge, haha). Oh my God, my towel was lost, I thought a Japanese guy use my towel, huh. On 11 am we went to Genting by taxi (the bus ticket was sold out, huh). Each people pay for MYR 20, if we buy the bus ticket is about MYR 3-5. Wow, the journey was very horrible, what a scary road to climb. Finally, we arived at 1 pm, Genting is not that crowded. As what people say, DuFan is much more better than this place. We came back to KL by bus to KL Sentral station, then we took monorail to Raja Chulan station. Angga and Randy made a consideration about their expenses, it took a lot of minutes. Guys we gonna take picture at Petronas Twin Tower, common! Finally, we were infront of KLCC, then we set self timer for our camera. The white light was off when we were taking picture, waaa… Angga was very very very sad, he asked security guard why the lamp was off The we came back to our inn via Ramlee Street. Wow, KL’s night life is here!

Sixth day in Kuala Lumpur, oh this is our last day in KL, we hunted for souvenirs and gifts at Petaling Street. Wow, cheap here cheap there, haiya no, we have to bargain until our last blood! As Angga had not taken photo with lightful Petronas Twin Tower yet, so we went to KLCC again. We have our last Indianese food at the Indian’s food court. Yummy, I really love the canai bread with spicy curry. We took bus at Puduraya to Singapore at 11 pm, sleepy!

Seventh day at Singapore, Randy called Aunt Elly to check in the apartment. We had to wait until 10 am, but we left our luggage there and went to Suntec City, looking for sale, haha. At night, we had dinner at Little India, I ate Soto Betawi, hoo I missed Indonesian food, yummy.

To be continue…

Musicademia Concerto

Ronny Luke — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:05:43 +0000

Hi all, this Wednesday will be held ‘Musicademia‘ in the moment of Youth Pledge Memory of Indonesia. This is an orchestral concert by Twilite Orchestra with Addie MS as the master Conductor. The ticket is not expensive, it’s only IDR 20,000. So, for all youths in Jakarta, it’s nice to support this occasion by attending the concert.

Update:

I really enjoy the show, especially performances by Lea Simanjuntak, very cool. Beside that, I really love to have my time with my friends until night (optional), hehe.

The Forgotten Code

Ronny Luke — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 13:04:55 +0000

This was an annoying experience, I had to spend my whole day for programming. I found wrong output each time I run the program, I was really stressful and strived to find the wrong code. After 8 hours I found it, it was a little chunk code that I forget to save in a temporary variable. But I think this is a good development in my knowledge of programming. I have made many combinations of code style and now I know more about lovely JAVA. Now I am happy, smiling, and rejoicing for finishing my tasks, and my home internet connection has been cured after a week disordered. Let’s do programming more and you get knowledge more, haha.

La Meme Histoire

Ronny Luke — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:59:04 +0000

Last night after giving tutor until 11 p.m. then I was doing programming for Intelligence System duty while hearing some songs. There is a song titled La Meme Histoire by Feist, this song is the soundtrack of Paris Je’taime. Well, this song sounds so emotional and sad, I really enjoyed hearing this song while doing programming because how sad programmer is, haha. Alone, live with codes, sleepy.

Believe in God

Ronny Luke — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:36:14 +0000

I just contemplated and am now writing about this wonderful thing called miracle. Well, there are so many miracles I have experienced in life, like saved from death, etc. But there was one very wonderful thing after praying about one year ago, it was the time when I was not called and I thought that I had lost. It was about scholarship. Four of my friends were called to continue the interview with the CIO of scholar sponsor company. Yes I was sad, that night I was hearing the song ‘When You Believe’. I listened each line of lyrics, and I found that there can be miracle when I believe. I did believe and pray, but I thought that there was no hope to continue, it was over. One truth that though hope is frail it’s hard to kill, so I kept my hope I kept praying. Miracle is happened, I was called a week after. “Oh God, is it true?”, I asked. I just never experienced something like this and my eyes were full of tears. Then, I followed the last test, medical test until the result determined that I get the scholarship. This is miracle, this is real, this is my story, and this is fruit of hope. Thanks God for every miracles in my life.

“Many nights we’ve prayed with no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song, we barely understood
Now we are not afraid although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could

In this time of fear when prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds too swiftly flown away
And now I’m standing here, my heart’s so full I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speaking words, I never thought I’d say

They don’t always happen when you ask
And it’s easy to give in to your fear
But when you’re blinded by your pain
Can’t see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says love is very near

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles, you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe”
