miss understood
it's quite interesting to know how communication between two person with different background, different culture, different language, could lead in a misunderstanding situation.. how funny to realize how childish we are, bringing the ego of ourselves in our point of view..without regardless try to put our feet in their shoes.. 

hei, we still have a long to go, don't we? through difficulties, the bond will become unbreakable.. every moment that spent together shall be priceless..

and above all, the words misunderstood will be slowly turn into an understandable solution and matters. 


cheers, my miss understood!

hello!
hello! Greeting from Shanghai! :)

Do you believe in failure? What is failure if you enjoyed the whole process?? 
Therefore, I don't really call it failure, let's just call it a lesson.. :)

anyway, I like this Adele-Rolling in the Deep song, performed by Boyce Avenue.. Enjoy!



The Scars of your love remind of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all 
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling 
We could have had it all 
Rolling in the deep
You have my hear inside of your hand 
But you played it to the beat

-Adele-

#1 Principle
Greeting from Shanghai! -which had just experienced snow for an hour today-

Recently, I was very busy with Bali Bistro and found that I had a little time to share my life a bit, so I just share it..=) Up until now, I'm reading a good book by Jack Canfield, titled The Success Principles.. It's been fascinating from the first chapter that I learned quickly afterwards.. It is a formula, the very basic one.. I remember Bill Gates once quote this "If you were born poor, that is not your mistake. But if you die poor, that is". The formula which I learned more about, is this equation : 

Event + Response = Outcome 
E + R = O 
The basic idea is that, everything happens in your life, happiness, sadness, success, failure, or whatever, is the result of how you response to your previous things in your life. This is quite a good guidance for me, in order to survive in my workplace now. There are a lot of factor that put me in frustration, pressure, and whatsoever, but I think I will just change the way I respond it, change the way of think, change how I communicate, to bring the outcome I'd like to have. 

Anyway, I'm now preparing for the next Valentine Promo here, so I hope everything turns out well. Shanghai is cold, as always during the winter time..but Europe is much colder than here..Wishing they could survive the cold there..

time to move on again

HA! Akhirnya liburan saya di Indonesia berakhir juga.. Tak terasa waktu berjalan cepat, 1bulan sudah lewat semenjak Desember yang lalu setelah 2tahun saya pergi meninggalkan Indonesia. Liburan yang sudah ditunggu-tunggu dan juga terasa sangat spesial karena liburan ini saya bisa merayakan 3even besar bersama keluarga, kerabat, dan sahabat...

Ulang Tahun ke 80 Engkong Tercinta, Sutedjo

Happy Birthday Kong! Di usia yang ke80, semoga Engkong tetap semangat menjalani kehidupan, meskipun kadang merasa sendirian dan kesepian, tapi Engkong nd sendirian, ada Tuhan yang selalu menjaga Engkong..


Natal 2011-Tahun baru 2012

Natal dan tahun baru kemarin ini saya merayakan bersama keluarga di GKI Tm.Majapahit, kebetulan Gaby Geboy, adik saya ini, mementaskan drama musikal berjudul Inn Keeper bersama teman-temannya. Berjumpa dengan wajah-wajah yang familiar memang menyenangkan. Serasa menjadi bintang film dadakan juga karena banyak orang menanyakan bermacam2 hal... Well yang paling penting ya bisa natalan bareng mami papi n Geboy, setelah sekian tahun.. #lebay

after 4 years, maybe??

Tanggal 30 dan 31nya, kami ber4 memutuskan untuk berlibur ke Jogja, karena disamping tidak begitu jauh untuk tour yang tidak direncanakan, kebetulan keluarga Om Aris dari Singapore pas ada di Jogja juga, jadi sekalian bersilaturahmi dengan keluarga Om Aris.. 

  
Om Aris-Tante Evi-Mom-Nida-Qori-Gaby-Papi-Me
Sepulangnya dari Jogja, kami langsung menuju ke Gardenia untuk merayakan tahun baru bersama keluarga Om Dede dan Miss Lusy, sayangnya lil ken ud tidur.... Anyway, it was fun to have gather like this... 


Last but not least was, my 25th Birthday

YEp! Ulang tahun saya yang ke 25 kali ini dapat saya rayakan di Indonesia, bersama keluarga..setelah kurang lebih, 4tahun juga saya tidak merayakan bersama mereka.. kalau dipikir2, memasuki usia ke 25 ini artinya sudah 24tahun saya berada di bumi ini.. resolusi apa kira2 yang saya miliki ya?? ah, saya simpan saja jawabannya untuk saya sendiri..dan sayalah juga yang akhirnya dapat membuktikan kepada diri saya sendiri... =) 


and when the parties and fun are all over, it's time for me to move again.. Only God know what lies in front of my journey.. and with the support of my family and my friends, I believe it won't be an impossible task to do..coz God makes the impossible possible.. 


See you all next time!! GBu abundantly!!

from facebook
Memasuki hari terakhir di bulan ini...rasanya saya sudah benar-benar kehilangan sentuhan untuk menulis.. (atau lebih tepatnya mengetik). Bulan-bulan ini memang menyibukkan tenaga dan pikiran, karena terbatasnya tenaga kerja di restoran tempat saya bekerja, berbagai aktifitas lain untuk sekedar hang out bareng temen pun jadi terbengkalai dan saya jadi seperti manusia anti-sosial.

Anyway, saya benar-benar merasa diberkati oleh Ms.Lusy, status-status or note di Facebooknya serasa memberikan penguatan ataupun juga pemikiran-pemikiran baru yang setidaknya memalingkan otak saya dari pekerjaan..

"Kalau atap rumah bocor, jangan salahkan hujan... Kalau gak punya uang untuk beli genteng, jangan salahkan pekerjaan yang mesti kamu kerjakan..Belajarlah menjadi betul..." -Lusy Sutedjo-


Belajar menjadi betul? Betul-betul salah satu pembelajaran yang gampang-gampang susah, ataupun susah-susah gampang. Belajar menjadi betul tidak bisa dipelajari hanya lewat teori dan sekolah. Terbentuk melalu serangkaian proses hidup... hampir sama dengan belajar hidup sepanjang hidup.. Masalahnya adalah bahwa definisi betul tiap-tiap individual dibentuk dari nilai atau value hidupnya masing-masing. Dibentuk dari pergaulan dan didikan yang didapat masing-masing. Dibentuk dari prinsip dan pola pikir masing-masing.

dan sepertinya saya juga mesti mengambil kelas belajar menjadi betul ini sekali lagi...dimulai dari diri sendiri dan berharap memberi dampak disekitar saya...

-Ironisnya manusia cenderung bersikap menghakimi satu sama lain,sehingga merasa dirinya yang paling betul-

-Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judge: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matt 7:1-2-

'Umm...what day is today? What do you mean? What day is it?'

'Today is the day we met for the first time'

'Ow wow..it's been a year...haha.. How do you remember it? Do you write it on your diary book?'

'Haha, yes..I think so...'



-I'm glad you remember it..I wonder what this journey will bring me into-

Count on Me
Salam olahraga! -mentang mentang sedang girang karena tim favoritnya lolos ke final liga champion-


Sudah sejak pertengahan Februari lalu, saya ini punya sambilan di Bali Bistro...nyambi nyanyi kalo tiap hari Minggu...barengan Mas Adi Gunawan n Mbak Lisa Ratna Dewi.. Ceritanya berawal dari kumpul-kumpul dimalam itu sambil menyaksikan Blues Night di House of Jazz n Blues dan Lisa mengutarakan niatnya untuk nyanyi di Cafe2 sambil cari pengalaman..

Gayung bersambut, saya yang juga sejatinya ingin membuat acoustic night tiap Minggu di Bali Bistro, ndelalah ya kok hadir disana ditemani oleh Mas Adi yang notabene juga gitaris.. Minggu depannya draft lagu yang sudah disusun dan dilatih bisa langsung dinyanyikan.. Not bad untuk amatir seperti kami... haha.. (not badnya menurut saya, nd tau kalo menurut tamu lain gimana...)

Salah satu lagu favorit saya yang sering kami bawakan itu lagunya Bruno Mars yang judulnya Count On Me.. ini, saya share liriknya sekalian...


If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

If you toss and then you turn and then you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we're made of
What we are call to help our friend in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friend are supposed to do oh yeah..

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go never say goodbye...



This is quite a nice song..and think of it, it's just express how God's feel towards us.. (Loh? Kok mendadak English?) n belakangan saya sering merasa kalau saya memang bisa count on Him..(of course lah!) dan lirik 'You'll always have my shoulder when you cry - I'll never let go never say good bye' just made me feel blessed to have HIM as my Friend..

Nah sekarang pertanyaannya kalo gini, bisakah 'He count on us like four, three, two' ??

postingan yang agak rancu sih..=P...

momentum
Fiuh, after a full 2weeks, akhirnya saya bisa sedikit rehat sejenak, meskipun ga lama-lama juga sih sebenernya...

Saya mendapat informasi tentang 'Project BLUE BIRD', kesempatan bagi orang-orang Indonesia untuk bekerja mencari pengalaman di Belanda.. di poskan oleh salah satu FER member dan diforward ke seluruh pelajar ex-FER, program ini berdurasi kurang lebih 19bulan.. Tawaran yang cukup menarik.

Masalahnya ada di momentum. Ya, momentum project ini tidak pas dengan situasi saya.. (or situasi saya yang tidak pas ya?) Intinya begitulah.. Saya mendiskusikan hal ini dengan Jo dan dia bercerita panjang lebar tentang momentum... Momentum, salah satu faktor kunci kesuksesan yang tidak bisa diabaikan juga... Selain faktor momentum, persiapan saya juga belum mapan juga... Bahasa cina saya yang masih pas-pasan juga menjadi alasan saya untuk tetap tinggal di Shanghai.. Bekerja sambil belajar bahasa? Kurang lebih begitu...

Sorenya Cha2 telpon juga untuk konfirmasi project ini...dan dia juga sepakat kalau project ini tidak cocok untuk saya... Project ini lebih cocok untuk fresh graduate yang sedang cari kerja ataupun pengalaman dan sebagainya... Well actually it would be great to be able to meet her..haha..

Ngomong-ngomong soal momentum juga, kalau akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk melupakan masalah Ms.G, saya rasa juga karena momentumnya yang tidak pas..haha..

Okelah, sekarang kembali fokus bekerja..(sambil belajar juga tentunya)


(noted: there's a slight difference between giving up and realizing that you had enough)

The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, but are felt in the heart..


That is written on my notebook I bought in the beginning of this year in People Square... I just didn't realize what's written on it until I re-read it again during my day to day Chinese lesson.. Anyway, I'm doing fine here but still the weather just don't love me that much.. still have to thanks God that I'm in Shanghai.. Feel deeply sad to know about the earthquake in Japan but glad to hear all people I know there are all safe...

well a lot of things going on here which me myself couldn't describe it clearly..what's going on here? time flies so fast and people just come and go...moreover that those things to be felt in the heart, I couldn't really feel it.. [or maybe I just miss my old fellows n old feelings....]

Just a little biT
Some introduction about China...fact that I get from my Chinese lesson :
  1. China population is about 1300 million people, the biggest population in the world.
  2. China has about 960km square area, almost the same with Europe.
  3. China has 23 province, 5 Autonomous Region, 4 Municipalities, 2 Special Administrative Regions. Beijing is the capital city of China.
  4. China has 56tribes. Besides The Han, there are The Hui, Tibetan, Mongolian, and 55 others small tribes.
  5. Yangtse River and Yellow river are two biggest river in China. Yangtse River's length is about 6300km while Yellow River's is about 5600km.
  6. The North East of China, Heilongjiang Province, during the winter time could reach its air temperature of minus 40degrees Celsius. While the north-est place in China, Hainan Island, the average temperature of around 25degrees Celsius.
  7. The east of China and the west of China covers more than 5000km. When the sun rises from the east part of China, its west part is still covered by dusk.
and the worse is that it's written on Chinese.. Fact that the 2nd book has no more pinyin on the text forces my brain to work harder... OK, go intermediate man!

An interesting breakfast I had this morning was a '鸡蛋饼' (Ji Dan Bing) with '油条' (You Tiao), a traditional Shanghai food with kind of Cakwee...only for 3.50 RMB, and grab a small box of Chocolate milk for 3.80RMB, costs me total of 7.30RMB and keep me away from hunger until 2.30pm... NICE! Will have it for another day then.. (",) Well, reservation goes crazy, time for reality now..oyeah, IT'S FUN TIME!!! Ciao!

I'm still here
Wow.. it's been a while that I didn't really...posting... thought I lost my touch..well, I really never have one I think..anyway, yeah, im still here..

OkeLah, for the first in February, even it's a bit -not that bit,actually- late, let me say Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Valentine Day, and Happy Lantern Festival! This rabbit year hopefully will bring more luck and prosperity, in every aspect of our life!

Second thing is...I'm most likely getting used to enjoy this endless winter..geez...it's cold... One of my friend asked me if I want some Valentine gift what that would be, so I said 'wishing that the winter would end up soon'

Third one, we are (Bali Bistro) expecting the March to come with our Ayam Penyet promotion! ah, I think I'll save the detail for later... basically it's like eating spicy contest.. Trying to finish it in 8minutes or so..

Anyway, working time! Typing lateR!

opera blessings foR obedience
Hello world! I will not be in Shanghai starting for 1st of October to 4th of October for retreating a while in Suzhou..

My mom called me before and talk about Deuteronomy 28 for the first part... [The Blessings for Obedience], I want to write it down..

"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them."


one wise reminder before I go..

Ngomong-ngomong soal hati
Some said..Just follow your heart..
but when your heart is broken into pieces, which piece would you follow?

There is quite a confusion between mind and heart..
To do and not to do is just a simple way..
But to feel and not to feel..is the other way..

Fairness is an absurd accumulative for what people have done..
'What goes around comes around' as they spoke..

And when the night has come..there is only darkness you'll find..
The only way is just to follow your heart..
But when your heart is broken into pieces, which piece would you follow?

ngomong-ngomong soal apa ini?
Greeting from Shanghai! -yang cuacanya makin hari makin aneh saja-

Well, what do I want to say? Rada bingung juga..Belakangan suka blank ga ada topik untuk blogging..yang sebenernya topik itu banyak tapi agak susah memilihnya.. hmm..oke, begini saja, saya cerita secuil kisah saya disini hari ini.

Intro, saya ini suka main musik -meskipun tidak jago-jago amat-. Jadi hari ini saya melayani di gereja sebuah komunitas Indonesia di Shanghai, dimana keadaan urgent yang membuat kami berakustik ria hari ini,dengan 1gitar bolong dan 1bas. Saya senang bisa mulai pelayanan lagi. Tapi sama ketika saya melayani di Amsterdam dulu, sebuah pertanyaan terlintas. Apakah saya memang benar-benar ingin melayani Tuhan, atau saya hanya menyalurkan bakat bermain musik saya??

Saya jadi berpikir dan meninjau kembali tentang visi misi yang telah Tuhan taruh di hati saya. Apa jangan-jangan justru saya tidak memiliki visi dan misi? wah, bisa gawat kalau begitu. Setelah meninjau ulang, sebenernya tidak ada yang salah dengan apa yang Tuhan telah kerjakan. Ya, yang salah ada di saya.

"Bukan kamu yang memilih Aku, melainkan Akulah yang memilih kamu."
Yoh 15:16a


Ya, sayalah yang menjauh... Perbincangan malam ini dengan seorang teman baik saya pun sudah lebih dari cukup untuk berbalik dan meninjau kembali hidup saya. Sekarang saya merasa dia jauh didepan sana...oK, perjalan iman ini memang tidak ada habisnya..dan Dia menjanjikan penghibur..

Lucunya, justru karena sayalah rekan saya ini terpacu untuk bertumbuh lebih dalam bersama Tuhan.. dan sekarang saya percaya dia dipakai untuk mengingatkan saya akan kekuatan bertumbuh dan hidup bersama Tuhan..

terima kasih, nona kecil! Keberadaanmu membuat saya merefleksi kembali kehidupan iman saya bersama Tuhan...

animal sign
YO! 2days ago I had a chat with Maria, a good friend of mine.. She gave me some link about Dalai Lama quiz.. one of the question is to point the most to the least animal I choose. It was Cow, Sheep, Tiger, Horse, and Pig. My number was Tiger 1, Horse 2, Cow 3, Sheep 4, and Pig 5.

The result was indeed surprising. Those sign of the animal has its own meaning for each. Tiger represents pride, Horse represents family, Cow represents carrier, Sheep represents love, while Pig represents money. So if I look it as the priority in my life, the sequence is pride-family-carrier-love-money. Hmm...well I think it is INDEED true.

FACT
Somehow, some guest's order didn't come out for so long. I checked the order in the computer and he didn't order the food he's been waiting for. I asked him who took the order for him and he answered me "I ordered to one of you Indonesian waiter". That took me less than a second to replied him back. 'Im sorry sir? You ordered to Indonesian waiter? I am the ONLY Indonesian here and the rest are Chinese and Filipino. So if you don't mind if I ask you if he mentioned himself to you that he was Indonesian?' The guess then took his words, mentioned that he was only thinking since both Filipino and Indonesian looked similar for him. [Indeed, it's my PRIDE]

I was running out of nominal [red:money] when at the moment my family gave a phone call, saying that they are in need in urgent matter. The next day I put my nominal in my bank account, to be used for my family in Indonesia. I didn't think it twice. [FAMILY is my second priority after my pride?]

I chose to leave from my previous company since I'm stuck in the middle end of my carrier in hospitality. I want to spread my wings and aim for higher. [CARRIER, in fact that my pride was being stepped by those majority is my main reason of going out]

At the moment, I have no time to think about love since I was way too busy with work. [my next priority after carrier was LOVE?]

See my second fact, I was running out of nominal to be able to send my nominal way back there.. I'm not concerned about how much my new company are able to pay me, as long as I can grow my skill and my carrier there.. [MONEY was the least of all?]

Anyway, what a quiz...

Above all, what I'm concerned now is how God has been so good to me. He sent HIS angel surrounds me. Everything happens to me is by chance HIS handwriting in my life..err, I might have my pen to write, but HE has the eraser..

yeah! Life is not always fair, but GOd is always faithful!

quite smart stupid
Salam dari Shanghai!

Langit Shanghai masih mendung, dibelahan lainnya tampak merah menggantung. Cuaca belakangan ini tidak ramah, hujan mengguyur kota tanpa diundang, panas menyengat malam tanpa diantar. Ah, rupanya kata orang, inilah musim panas di Shanghai. Malam ini saya menyendiri, merenung dan berpikir.

Sejenak tadi saya masih berada di Huashan Road bersama teman baik saya, sambil pijat kaki dan menonton pertandingan Jerman vs Inggris, sambil bercakap tentang pekerjaan baru saya. Kami berbincang tentang nominal gaji. Teman baik saya berkata, "Hei Okky, waktu saya seumur kamu, saya baru saja memulai karir F&B saya, gaji saya pertama kali waktu itu hanya 1500RMB dan saya hanyalah seorang pelayan. Kamu mestinya bangga dengan apa yang kamu dapatkan sekarang." Saya hanya diam dan tidak memberi komentar. Sama seperti apa yang waktu itu seorang pelayanan restoran lama tempat saya bekerja tanyakan..dia bertanya mengapa saya tampak kelelahan, apakah saya belum pernah bekerja sebagai pelayan sebelumnya.

Bagi mereka, apa yang mereka lihat adalah hal yang sudah ada didepan mata.. Saya tidak menceritakan kisah hidup saya sebelumnya didunia hospitality kepada mereka. Bahwa saya pernah menjadi seorang pelayan, housekeeper public area, membersihkan toilet umum, cook helper, sampai tukang cuci piring.

Mereka kadang mencibir dan menyanjung..memuji sekaligus memandang sebelah mata.. Saya pernah harus bangun pukul 5pagi karena mesti menyiapkan breakfast pukul 5.30pagi.. Saya pernah memulai kerja pukul 11malam dan pulang kerja keesokan paginya pukul 11siang, karena saya mesti mengatur bill tamu yang sangat rumit. Dan ketika saya mengatur orang untuk berbuat sesuatu yang baru, mereka mengeluh dan mengumpat..'Mentang-mentang dia manajer, dia bisa menyuruh orang sesuka hatinya..'

Jangan pernah membandingkan hidupmu dengan hidup orang lain, karena kalian tidak tahu apa yang mereka sudah alami dan sedang alami..


Saya merasa berada diantara orang-orang yang tidak mau diajak maju.. 'Jika kamu tidak bisa melawan mayoritas, jadilah di pihak mayoritas'-itulah pola berpikir mereka. Saya akan setuju dengan mayoritas apabila benar, tetapi ada kalanya bahwa mayoritas tidak selalu benar.. Dan membenarkan mayoritas jauh lebih mudah daripada memihak kebenaran minoritas.

Banyak orang bertanya kepada saya, kenapa saya memutuskan untuk berhenti dari tempat kerja saya yang lama.. Kurang lebih, bahwa karena saya memutuskan untuk maju satu langkah, dan itu sudah cukup bagi saya untuk keluar dari tirani mayoritas.

Pada lomba lari marathon Des Sables saya ini...saya tidak tahu apakah saya keputusan saya ini ibarat saya melempar handuk putih, atau ibarat saya baru saja melangkah maju untuk mencapai garis finish.. Tapi yang pasti, saya tetap masih tersenyum..menyongsong perlombaan yang belum berakhir.

balilaguna-fin

catatan kaki:
'You are stupid! S-T-U-P-I-D!' was mostly the sentence shouted by the boss to mostly all the management.. while it came out that the other staff -that has been resigned before- said, only stupid stays and it was enough for a stupid like me to leave. Yes, for a stupid, I'm quite smart.(",)

Letter Of Resignation

Shanghai, 23rd May 2010

To: Mr.Edwin Ng
Owner of Bali Laguna Restaurant
1649 Nanjing West Rd (inside Jing An Park)

Dear Mr.Edwin,

The purpose of this resignation letter is to inform you that I will be leaving my position in Bali Laguna restaurant as an Assistant Manager effective on 23rd of June 2010, because of my small contribution for the company due to my lack of experiences.

I never thought that I would leave such a good company like this but the things just do not get well enough for me to stay and this is also a difficult decision to make. I do appreciate for all the things that I have learned during my 7-months employment here in Bali Laguna.

I also would like to apologize to all of the management and staff if during my employment in Bali Laguna there were mistakes that I have made.

Please let me know if there is any I can help during the transition. I hope Bali Laguna will be always a pleasant place to work and have a good business for the future.

Sincerely Yours,

Okky Hidayat


Well, tomorrow is my last working day on this restaurant. I'd never regret of my decision to leave, indeed, I'm looking forward what lies beyond..

Ready,Steady,GO!!

nb:I've been hiatus for this recently one month since my laptop is broken. My malfunction of this Naga Bonar made its motherboard went crazy.. It took more than 3 weeks to repair since Shanghai HP' headquarter didn't have the spare of my spec motherboard, so they needed to order from Beijing's headquarter.

and now, I'm back again^^

encouragement
Ni hao!

Have you ever heard of Des Sables? It's also known as MDS or Marathon Des Sables. Somehow, this marathon is the toughest footrace on earth. It covers 243km/151miles run over 6-7days on the dry Sahara dessert. The competitor itself also have to carry their own need in rucksack on their back, including food,medical aid, sleeping-bag, etc etc.. Water will be provided on every check point.

Well...the preparation itself, including physical training and mentally training too.. Since the heat of Sahara will absolutely lead to mental stress as you endure yourself. I couldn't imagine myself running in The Sahara for 7days! For the detail info, you can check it here

But one thing that I know, it needs a great amount of self-discipline, determination, and strong will to reach the finish line. I believe there will be many time for the runner when they feel like shit and thinking to throw the towel.

It's just like what I face now...as an analogy...to put me on those Sahara dessert where I feel like shit and thinking to give it up..until an encouragement come to me today.. posted by my beloved mom.. She wrote this to me..


When nobody respect about what you do..That's when you learn about sincerity
When your heart is hurt so deep..That's when you learn about forgiving
When you feel alone..That's when you learn about tenacity
When you feel so tired and disappointed..That's when you learn about earnestness


I think it's enough for me to keep running on my own Marathon Des Sables.. Thanks mom...for encouraging me...
