Amazing Life -Cafe-
Greeting from Shanghai!! IT IS getting cold here now.. but anyway, I just happened to be in a cafe called LIFE CAFE some times ago, and my first impression was.. WOW! It's so home made cafe which makes you feel at home.. all the menu there is handmade, the dessert also, and the coffee, you can find a lot of traditional coffee.. even the kupu kupu bali coffee also was on my sight too...^^

On the second floor, there are two rooms, one is for the wine cellar and library, the other is like mini home cinema where you can watch your favorite movie with its home theater, for free! all you need is just buy some cheese cake or hot chocolate while enjoying your movie..=D

The location itself is hidden in Julu Road, it doesn't look like cafe since it's merged with so like old house..but yes, it's a secret little wonderland.. It's amazed me..and what amazed me more is that this cafe is run by only 2 person.. the wife and her husband.. haha..makes me want to run another kind of this...

I put some of the picture, using slide application, you can check it [here]



ENJOY!!

Amazing Paper Glass
Hahaha..i found it to be funny when I was accompanying Karmela for her laptop is broken in Xujiahui today... it's a glass, paper, perhaps will be the most expensive paper glass ever.. Proudly present, A BURBERRY PAPER GLASS..


hehe..I don't know the price but, think to it, I recalled the saying 'Zai Zhongguo Mei Guan Xi' means 'In China, no problem' =P

Another jokes is brought by Desta and Vincent, but I'd rather to post it in Indonesian..

D: Vincent, kalo orang Jawa itu.. namanya gampang.. pasti belakangnya 'to' semua... Coba aja ini.. Parto, Purwanto, Mardiyanto, Sumanto, Limanto, kan semua 'to' kan? Jadi kalo ada orang Jawa, panggil aja 'to', pasti betul itu namanya..
V: hmm..bener juga ya.....ok ok, bagaimana kalo kita coba peranin, kamu pura-pura ga kenal aku, dan ceritanya aku ini orang Jawa..?
D: ok ok, kita roll ya..

D: Oiii...Toooo!! gimana..apakabar, wah..lama ga ketemu nih..
V: Lhoh? tapi..nama saya Didi..
D: Lha iya, Didi to?

=P

nb: kalo basa jawa, to itu bisa berarti 'kan'..jadi waktu Vincent bilang kalo namanya Didi dan bukan pake nama belakang to, si Desta langsung nyaut, 'Lha iya, Didi kan?'

Greeting from Shanghai!^^ God Bless you abundantly!
Amazing Learning
Seperti biasanya, saya suka membaca tulisan-tulisan dari blog lain.. Salah satunya adalah tulisan kakak rohani saya sewaktu kecil, yaitu Kak Wahyu Pramudya, yang sebenarnya mesti saya panggil Pak sekarang mengingat statusnya yang sudah menjadi seorang ayah..=D

Dalam blognya, [here], Kak Wahyu bercerita tentang bagaimana anaknya, Alden, sudah terbiasa dengan perjalanan dari rumah pastori ke gereja dan ketika suatu hari Kak Wahyu lewat jalan lain karena jalan yang biasanya dilalui macet, Alden memprotes setengah mati.. Bagaimanapun dia menjelaskan kepada Alden, Alden tetap tidak mau mengerti mengingat keterbatasan pikirannya.. Namun ketika mereka sudah sampai di gereja,keluhan Alden berubah menjadi pujian.. 'Papa pinter', begitu katanya..

Begitulah yang sering kita, manusia, keluhkan mengenai rancangan-rancangan Tuhan kepada kita.. karena keterbatasan pikiran kita, kita merasa lebih superior dari Tuhan tanpa mau berserah kepadaNya.. terkadang kita berdoa, melimpahkan segala keluh kesah kita..Tuhan bak tempat sampah dimana kita mengeluarkan semua unek2 tanpa mau bertanya apa yang sebenarnya Tuhan mau kita lakukan..

Kehidupan kekristenan adalah sebuah gaya hidup..gaya hidup yang bersandar kepadaNya..berserah dan yakin tentang apa yang Tuhan sedang kerjakan didalam hidup kita...

Sebuah pelajaran berharga..
