Blogging Thang..

Somehow I missed my old blog..

Why? For some reason I felt that those blog are part of my life.

Well, kinda true. Those are the stories of my life. Particularly that r4kuen blog has about 2 years of my stories.. the other nevri has my romantic side of life.

Then I was visiting some of my old friend’s blogs. To my surprise some of them are still blogging until now. Geeze, they are a very loyal blogger. I bow to them.

Some of them, who only last a few months or maybe year, abandoned the blog. But it’s funny though, would they realize again one day that their life stories were onced shared to the whole world. Or maybe even got your picture on the page!

Taking an example, is my girlfriend’s housemate, Risty’s blog.

Although some link are broken but it’s still there. I’ll remind her about it tonight and see if she still remember the login details

My friend yesterday told me that she doesn’t feel comfortable sharing her personal life to public.

I guess it’s a matter or personal choices. Some people are actually happy to share. And I am certainly one of them. Other than keeping others entertained  annoyed busy, it actually helped me see my past and experiences I had and that is exactly what I’m doing when I re-read my old blog page.

Blogging was introduced to me by my sweet buddy Inex and she still blogs until now. I think I’ve learnt a lot from her blogging lifestyle that influences me most of the time blog-wise.

One of the other blogsite that I like is Andy’s blog. He’s a real good photographer. It’s been long time since my last visit to that blog.

Anyhow, this is my fave song of the week if anyone cares to listen.

I’m glad I blogged

My Personality Type?

Well, as you can see there’s that tiny picture on my side bar exposing my result from mypersonality test. Thanks to Hagun for the link

The result says that I’m an ENFJ (Extraverted, iNtuition, Feeling, Judging) – “THE MENTOR” and “VISSIONARY”. Here’s what the page says:

“ENFJs are externally focused, introspective, altruistic, positive and have excellent people skills. They place utmost importance on helping others grow. They are warm and have a natural desire to be supportive and encouraging. Being charismatic and posessing excellent language skills, they do well in leadership roles. ENFJs strive to enhance the lives of their human brethren.”

Some Quotes:

“ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ’s main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.” - Portrait of an ENFJ (The Personality Page)

.†.

“ENFJs focused on the organization’s ideals and operate within those ideals. They focus on how organizations should treat people and communicate these values to others. They enjoy leading and facilitating teams, and like to bring matters to mutually beneficial conclusions. ENFJs prefer a work setting that contains individuals focused on changing things for the betterment of others.” - ENFJ – The Safe (Lifexplore)

And it says I am the same personality type as Ben Stiller, Johnny Depp, a bunch of actors, and to my surprise.. KING DAVID!

Man, I always thought I was more of a stable person that don’t really have dreams and usually only do what people are telling me to do.. although I think that part is true for me, but I have come to believe that my personality have changed over times.. I feel more dominant and aggresive nowaday

BUT, as I was listening to these old songs by KLA Project, I remembered my time during Junior High in Indonesia (SMP).. and to my amazement.. I think I used to be a dominant/leader type of person!

Why? Here’s some facts I remembered during those time:

1. When I was 13 years old, even younger.. I wasn’t so good at sport.. but like a pro I formed a Basketball team in my class and actually lead my team into a competition.. in which, of course, we lost! huehuehuehue.. well, to be honest I am not so good at sport but I was so confident that I became the captain. Until the next year I realised I’m not up to the position, so I had to drop out and do music instead, that’s when it happens in the next point.
2. We were forming this band with my friends, we called it The Marshmallows.. although we’ve never tried marshmallows before at that time.. heheh.. We decided one day to perform at school the song Jogjakarta by Kla Project. It was a rather difficult song to be played in a band.. and guess what? we nailed it! Now, I came to remember that during those time I was leading the band, I actually searched the lyrics and chords (something that I still do until now) and share it to my band members. I organize the practice, I was the one who watches out for mistakes and making sure that we played properly. Ha! And that time I was still 14 years old.
3. Come the year 2000, I was 15. I also led a band, although it never performed, I often led them into practicing. Still, giving out keys and all. However, during those time I got into lots of trouble with my parents for hardly coming home. They locked me outside and I decided to stop playing in the band.
4. And during my youth, I was in this Youth group in Indo called Tamariska. I was quite active in there. At that time my leading skill are fading away but I was still giving quite an influence in the group.

Finally when I get to Australia I lost that particular personality. There are a lot of things that contribute to that.. one of the major thing is Bullying, which a lot of them are done by my older brother. He often bully me in front of my friends that would also initiate my friends into this so-called activity of Annes Bullying My brother would often rule me over at home, not allowing me to watch TV, sit on the couch, do my own thing, play certain video games, etc.

Thank God my brother applogized to me

Anyhow, all those started to change again when I heard my pasteur ko Dan preaching about The Millionaire’s Mind. It became my favourite instantly. I used to had the image of coming from a mid wealth family would make me be a mid wealth person my whole life. But that preaching had really burnt my heart and gave me this vission of becoming a wealthy person and change my whole family.

God started to answer all those dreams bit by bit. His plan for me to be bornt in Sydney, Australia, was not an accident. I finally had the chance to move to Perth, Australia when I was 16 years old. Living almost purely by the money the government put into my account every fortnight, I had managed to live almost independently until now.

The first year I got here, I worked straight away as a waiter in a Chinese Restaurant (IPOH). As time goes by I moved on into working in SUBWAY, SuzhiBento, Woolworths, Zip Fashion, and finally an Engineering Company. Truthly speaking, I was never loyal in any of those place I worked in, I always wanted to get a better job, which became my motto to always have a better job than before. I once considered working back in SUBWAY, but darn it it’s against my motto, so I quited on my first day.

hmmm..

Well, now after so much blabber, I can see I am a visionary after all! I was probably to afraid to take the chance..

As for “THE MENTOR”… geeze this posting is getting too long isnt it? hehehehehe..

Well, to cut the chase.. I saw the fruit of my ministry as GO in my anak oikos Aji, Dacip, and Adrian. I am too proud of them seeing who they are today. It’s really sad that we are not the same as we used to be nowadays, but to know that I have set my part in their lives made me realized how blessed I am to have ever be a mentor to them.

So, I don’t know if the ENFJ is true or not, I’m just gonna AMEN it!

Haleluia, AMEN! x)

My Top 5

I’m really in the mood for holiday.. not like a going-to-a-mall type of holiday but more like a real holiday..

- travelling to another country,
- chilling out somewhere nice and quiet,
- no mobile calls/emails/sms,
- enjoying & exploring natures

Damn, that would be nice!

Can’t really remember when was the last time I indulge myself in such holiday.. but the last time I travel overseas was when my father passed away. A sad moment but at the same time a good trip as I had the chance to meet my families and spent time in Jakarta.

At the moment, I can only imagine by listing my 5 favourite things in this life:

1. The smell of the cabin in a plane
2. Cool breeze of wind from sea or mountain
3. Scenery, either ocean view or forest view
4. Overseas Cities. Japan, Taiwan, Korea, HK, Singapore are my most favourite destinations
5. Smell of summer rain

Yes, I love travelling a LOT! Although I don’t have as much chance and opportunity as I would’ve wanted to, it’s still one of my biggest dream to travel around the world, seeing how wonderful this world is.

Having said so, at this exact moment, there are my 5 most annoying things in life:

1. Daily routines – thank God for problems that make my life less routine-ish
2. Meetings
3. Red Lights
4. Bills & Debts
5. Loud and high pitched voices
6. My weight..

Shoot! I went over 5..

However, there are still these 5 things I really want to have at the moment:

1. A Semi Acoustic Electric Guitar.. wishfully a Gibson.. But an Epiphone would do just fine
2. VOX Tonelab SE Guitar Multieffect
3. VOX AC30 CC2 Amplifier
4. New Honda CRV
5. A House

Kinda extreme.. but atleast no. 1 and 2, is what I would’ve wanted the most in my hand! >___<

Anyway, while I was writting this posting, I saw a video a friend sent me.. While I was complaining about these annoying things, this video had really made my day.. by far the best thing I’ve seen today! It really made me smile..

Cheers!
