to be thankful is not that hard

I find today very wonderful :)

I finally had the chance to go to church, to meet God, to pray, to have communion, to go to a place where everyone praises the same Lord,

the same Almighty.

To sing, to praise your God, to talk heart to heart, to share everything with Him, after a long time I haven't done so, it's just an amazing feeling.

I found it very peaceful and overwhelming, like I couldn't stop thanking Him, for giving me such wonderful life with completely wonderful gifts.

The fact that I am here now, for a great opportunity to study, is one of His wonderful gifts. And the rest, are just too many to tell one by one. I just want to thank Him again and again, for giving me this life, for giving me all of nice people to be around, for everything.

The other wonderful thing is that I finally had the chance to meet both of my high school friends, Dinda and Ika. Both of them are now living in Singapore. Dinda is here for her study in NAFA while Ika is here for her internship - a very wonderful experience for each of them. I missed them so so much for such a long time, and unbelievably they are here!! (or I should say, I am here!! finally!! hehehehe)

We went for Orchard Road's Shopping Malls. We entered some stores, fell in love with the products, ended up chatting like crazy @ ion Food Opera or something. We talked a lot about many things, but the most interesting thing was when we talked about future.

Yes, it's always an interesting subject, but one thing distinguished the usual talk about it : we realized that we are grown up now. We weren't the same kids we used to be in high schools, busy talking about boys or stuffs. We are now a new generation of the world where we have the responsibilty to do something, to contribute to ourselves, our future, our family, and our world.

And the images are getting even clearer for Ika is going to graduate THIS SEMESTER. She will be graduating next June, the earliest among all, I think. She has to think more on her future, than the rest of us. She should find a job. FOR REAL.

The problem is that we haven't found what we are looking for. We haven't found our deep passion upon something. Dinda is quite sure about "branding" while me and Ika : we have no idea. Like me, I am still not sure about Public Relations. I am not sure about working in office from 9 to 5, sitting behind my desk. I really want to teach, join Indonesia Mengajar, but then the question would me, will my parents allow me to do that? They will always support us for everything we do, but will they be proud of us when we do something not ordinary?

After Dinda went home, Ika and I had her dinner. We continued the conversation and it got even better time to time. We were chatting about relationship, marriage, God, family, many things! The bottom line of the story was we were just so thankful to be here, in Singapore, where we can actually realize how precious life, family, and best friends are.

I want to thank Him even more.

I already miss the conversation we had.

Manda is true, we need to get out from our comfort zone, from Indonesia, and see a beautiful world outside.

Friendssss, thank you so much for the wonderful evening. I love you both :*

And I love you, Manda :)

I miss you all, best friends.

God, thank you for everything.

Thank you.

I am so thankful to have You.
