TURN POINT | DONCASTER MALL | 17/7/09

Kadang2 susah juga menjadi orang baik terus menerus.
Tetapi terima kasih banyak atas semua kejadian dan pengalaman pahit tadi malam yang sangat mengerikan

Saya masih diberi kesempatan sekali lagi....TERIMA KASIH TUHAN atas perlindunganNya, berkatNYa, kasihNya, dan kesempatan2 yang aku selalu tawar menawar dan berulangkali untuk minta another kesempatan, another kesempatan, another kesempatan. I guess tadi malam the last reminder from Him...

Maafkan aku ya Tuhan, papsky, mumsky, and teman2....:(

Semoga setelah ini, aku kembali menjadi orang normal......
Takut sekali tadi malam, tetapi yakin Tuhanku tidak akan membiarkan aku begitu saja and AGAIN...another kesempatan dari Tuhan lewat ms. Lina/Lana.....


Biarlah aku tanggung consequency nya dari apa yang aku buat tadi malam.....memang salahku

CINTA LAGI...PUTUS LAGI....

Cinta....arrrghhhh capek deh...IM wanting but not needing...ready but not desperate...TAPI kenapa sih setiap ketemu orang, eh tahu2 nya akhir2nya BITTER....GRRR.... 2x ENUFF deh patah hati hancur berserakan di lantai kamar gue...

Hopefully kalau ever ada yang ke 3, bisa NORMAL:) Nyanyi dulu arrghhh.....

Kupikir..
Tak pernah pantas
untuk Bahagia...

Sejak kau pergi
Dalam tidak tahuanku..
Kini kau kembali
Membawa bingkisan
Kebahagiaan...

Yang aku ingat
Pernah kaucuri dariku dulu
Kau tawarkan lagi
untuk ku...

Jangan lagi kau pergi
Dari hidupku
Takkan mudah untukku
Bila sendiri
Biar kita memikir
Rasa bahagia
Ingin selalu bersama
didalam Ruang dan waktu

Kusadari...
Bukan hanya kau
kembalikan mimpiku
hadirmu kini
membuatku percaya lagi
bahkan lebih indah
dari mimpi-mimpiku

hanya cinta yang bisa
menaklukkan dendam
hanya kasih sayang tulus
yang mampu menyentuh
hanya cinta yang bisa
mendamaikan benci
hanya kasih sayang tulus
yang mampu menembus
ruang dan waktu

THREE MONTHS IN MELBOURNE

OMG...OMG...OMG....It's been three months already since i made one of my biggest movement in my life, which's from Syd - Melb for work...:)

I love Melbourne, and heheheh its not too early for me that i say, i even HAVE FALLEN for this city. Melbourne is sooo meee.....all the nice people, nice fashions, nice foods, beautiful city lights, the buildings, the European structure, the luxury stuff all in here....AND THOSE ARE THE ONES that i value in my life:)

So yea, i guess i made a right decision when i said "YES, I wanted to take this job and move to Melb"


One thing that is still not compatible with me is that the WEATHER....OMG...whats wrong with the weather here in Melb:( I always get sick EVERY MONTH:( coz my body couldnt stand the weather here:( what am i supposed to do now????


Apart from that, yea, i have made some good friends here, Indonesians and locals...and have learnt some more new stuffs in my life thru my friends and my experiences three months in here.


I have met some nice people that became friends of mine since we first met which's a good sign, that also means that im eventually accepted here in Melb. You know what there're some differences that i have learnt between Sydney peepz and Melbourne peepz... People are alot nicer here and calm, they value honesty and very relaxed/laid back whereas in Sydney they're all hurry and all is about money money money...:) HEre's not.

Here's more of multicultural city, NO RACISM (well at least LEZ than Sydney). The driver here is more regular, they stick to the regulation whereas in Sydney...hmmmm dont ask:(....BUT strange is....in terms of driving, Melb driver are alot more impatient than Syd:(

Hahahha...funny enuff


Anyways...all good so far on my side...:)
I still miss my friends and family in Sydney. Sydney is still kinda my hometown but eventually im gonna make Melbourne as my hometown:)

Thanks Melbourne!!

TWO MONTHS BECOME ENTERPRENEUR

Hello all,
Im back again, blogging. Finding time for myself is not that hard these days, despite my loads of stuff to do, i can still sneak out for a bit for some fun:)

Im enjoying my new unexpected carreer with all of its ups and downs that are still so little compared to those big names in this business, but yea I still have got plenty of time to develop my carreer, to live and to learn. And i cant wait for all to happen:)

I havent made lots of money these days as im still settling, but ONCE im well settle in, then it all will pay off! Again, CANT wait to it to happen.

Something new inside in my heart that have been effecting my life these days is that i find that im now ready for a girl....meaning im now ready for a healthy and a nice relationship with a nice lady. Dad, mum and Cil know this thing from me and they have been supportive and a lil' bit too care for me in finding the right girl...and i keep saying "Thats ok, i know what i want and i have a taste too in girl, so i wont be just random" And they 're like "Ok...i trust ya choice"

So now...start looking for one but NOT actively as that thing is not on the top of my priority as yet.

Selamat datang cinta......begitu kata AB THREE di album terakhirnya and yea SELAMAT DATANG CINTA. Adolf's waiting for the right one to come

ADOLFUS 2009

Hopefully its not too late to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 to all bloggers...:) I moved to Melb 28/12/2008, nearly 2 mths already now...

I feel, this year, i entered another stage in my life. I have become another Adolfus...not completely different than who i was but, these days i feel like im more of an improvisation of the old Adolfus. I started by changing my name who i believe that can change myself to become a better person, smarted, tougher and bigger man!

In this 2 months i stepped out of the cage where i used to live before, i have learnt and done lots of things that i thought i wouldnt never be able to do and have change to do it, i.e: im an enterpreneur (young one/junior), i bought a nice luxury car in my 25yo, i have dealt with lots of big men in the business, i hit a good sales rating and customer service ratings in my company, i did make big mistakes and was in a few arguments with some people and i wasnt scared at all!! instead it gained my confidence and made me more of an upfront person...

Those stuffs are interesting yet a bit of a quick learning process...and yea i do feel its all happened at once and so quick and i didnt even have time to prepare it (?!?!)

But thank goodnez, i think all was just a part of my transitions

Now, i have become an enterpreneur and do business on my own, lots of things, lots of travelling, lots of meeting up with new people....i guess thats all i have always wanted to do...

Now, its all up to me if i still want to proceed these things by keep improving myself and the business on my own way...

We will see how i end up at the end of the year:)

MELBOURNE LAD

Di Airport (Sydney Kingsford, 28th Dec 08)...
Hampir telat, karena masih banyak yang mesti di urus pagi2. Plus aku malamnya langsung masuk2 in barang ke koper (4 koper) tanpa ingat2 barang ini ada di koper mana.

Jadi dompet, mobile phone ga tau ada di mana....

Di pesawat (Sydney Airport 28th Dec 08)...
Bingung...pas mau lepas landas, diperingatkan MOBILE and other electronical devices have to be switched off during flight. Aku bingung....karena ga tau mobile nya ada di mana...:( and deg2 an takutnya tiba2 bunyi aja...Ah tapi tenang aja lah...mau bagiamana lagi....?

Di Airport (Tullamarine, Melb - 28th Dec 08 8.30am...
Pesawat sekitar 5 mins tiba lebih awal dari jadwal
Aku langsung dijemput Ines di airport...and pergi ke gereja langsung...di city:) sama ko Budhi (suaminya Ines) and Adriel (anaknya Ines)

Makan siang sebentar sehabis gereja and aku belanja2...abis gitu...langsung deh ke rumah baru di Mt Waverley, VIC 3149 ketemu dengan flatmates baru orang2 Srilanka...:) hehehe

PRE - MOVING TO MELBOURNE 23 - 27th Dec 08

Sebenarnya banyak yang shocked dengan kabar pindahnya Jorgen Adolfus Sekawago from Syd - Melb. Memang sih ini terkesan di tutup2i, tapi sebenarnya tidak lah...bagi teman2 atau orang2 yang sudah kenal Jorgen AKA Adolfus, ini sih lagu lama, karena memang dari dulu aku bukan type orang yang kalau ada kabar besar ttg pribadi suka gembar2or, instead, aku keep it till last minute kinda thing and announce it to everyone. Its just me!


Ok sebenarnya tawaran Melb job sudah ada dari bulan Sept, thats why i went to Melb 5 hari (company paid for it) just to have a look ang give me a bit of an idea about what the city like, hows life in Melb, hows work in Melb, living cost, etc. Altho i have been to Melb several times, but its just for different purposes.


September, setelah negotiate about what the company deals and all of that, akhirnya saya putuskan untuk menerima pekerjaan ini. UNIAIR CARGO MARKETING SERVICES Pty Ltd (MELB) and saya menjadi Service Area Manager for Victoria.

Senang banget sih dapat kesempatan langka ini. Enaknya yaitu saya sudah tahu orang2 di company ini sebelumnya karena pernah bekerja selama 4.5 thn di Sydney dengan company yang sama, saya sudah tahu culture dari company ini, and kita mempunya visi and misi yang sama. Jadi its a go a head for me apart from financial stuff too.

Company di SODEXHo juga shocked dengan kabar leavingnya Adolfus yang baru kerja di sana 2.5bulan saja, tapi mau di apakan lagi?? Hari terakhirku tgl 23 Dec 08 dengan SODEXHO, tapi aku tidak datang and siangnya, teman dari Sodexho kirim message bahwa managernya sudah belikan CAKE perpisahan buat aku tapi aku ga datang, akhirnya mereka pesta perppisahan aku tanpa my attendance! CRaZy!


Aku sibuk banget dengan pindahan ini karena:
1. Aku masih harus urus barang2 pindahan nyokap (Mum went back to Indo 15th Dec)
2. Aku harus disconnect semua utilities di Regents Park (apt di Sydney)
3. Aku harus urus barang2 pindahan ku sendiri
4. Toko2 and company2 banyak yang closed karena its xmas time
5. Aku harus urusan contract dengan real estate agent di sydney
6. Aku harus urusan contract dengan real estate agent di Melbourne
7. Masih harus re-sign contract dengan Uniair Cargo di Sydney
8. Plus last but not least, undangan perpisahan dengan teman2 GEREJA, ALICISM, TEMAN UNI, TEMAN PUBs/CLubs, and Teman gereja local
9. Belum lagi acara natal keluarga dengan Caecil and Peter

Bayangkan hanya tinggal 5 hari saja till i gotta go to Melb from 23th - 27th.

24th Xmas eve at Caecil's place (siang2 nya sih) and abis gitu malamnya pergi ke Xmas Mass di St Mary's Cathedral with Cil and Donny...jam 12am Mass...wah choirnya bagus sekali kek Libera...

25th Packing2 and met some friends, including makan late malam di City Extra Parramatta bersama Julianne and Kurniawan, lalu malamnya nginap di rumah Donny

26th Boxing day shopping at Bondi Westfield jam 9am with Caecil and Donny. I was surprised as there're not many people as i would have imagined that day. Not so many at all!! Oh well, i bought 2 pairs of shirts from Industrie and a short one too...Cil bought sound system for her beloved hubby

27th Pagi kirim barang nyokap ke Epping, lalu ke Lenny di Artarmon untuk perpisahan, sehabis itu, sore nya ke Hurricane, perpisahan dengan teman Uni...

HURRICANE TIME 27th Dec 6pm
*Darling Harbour* abis gitu ke Karaoke World sampai jam 10an...

Mesti antar Rere, Sigit, and Joyce home.

Sayang sekali Sergio's invitation for dinner had to be ditched and also Valentina Tohang juga ga sempat ketemu. Oh well, next time

Malam2 masih harus packing karena besok (minggu) sudah tidak sempat karena pakai pesawat yang pertama. Pagi2 hari.

Jam 6 sudah jalan, sempatkan diri ke rumah Sergio di Regents Park untuk drop in little xmas gift di depan rumahnya. Abis gitu langsung ke bandara....

CHAPTER 1 - ENDED

Hello Papsky...

Gimana kabarnya?? pasti sudah sampai and siap2 lagi untuk bekerja mencari sesuap nasi and SEGENGGAM berlian...:)

Thank you ya pap for the past 10 days...we have had a real good fun....and thank you for being you!!!



Tadi siang setelah antar papa ke airport...kita berempat dengan Caecil and Peter, sempat di traktir sama Peter di South Junior club makan steak...:) wah senang sekali. Setelah itu pulang and mama packing2 sampai jam 11 malam plus pamitan sama teman2 mama lewat telp and tante Rollin juga, Rata2 semua nangis di telp.





Yah begitulah, kita ber 5 memang orang baik sih. Jadi pasti selalu di kangenin sama teman2.



Selamat bekerja lagi ya. Jangan lupa jemput mumsky hari Senin jam 4.15 WIB , pesawat GA409 from Denpasar.

Ingat...

Kita ber 5 adalah survivor and we are ALL the champion....karena kita semua bisa mengatasi masa2 sulit dengan baik and berhasil menempuh perlombaan sampai ke garis FINISH....kita bertiga dulu di sydney harus benar2 berjuang untuk hidup...bekerja, belajar dan berdoa. Sometimes kita gagal dalam pekerjaan, dalam pelajaran, and tergoda dalam iman...tapi yang papa harus tahu...kita bertiga (and 4 with PETER) tidak mau larut dalam kesedihan dalam kegagalan....tapi mencoba bangkit dan berdiri untuk mengejar kekalahan. Those trials and tribulances have made each of us such as a TOUGH person and that has built our mentality...



Ibaratnya misalnya kita lomba lari....kebanyakan orang sudah letih dan capai di tengah jalan and tidak mampu lagi melanjutkan perlombaan sampai ke garis finish and mereka menyerah kalah di tengah2 perlombaan...tapi kita ber 5 TIDAK MENYERAH BEGITU SAJA, and terus berusaha untuk bisa mencapai ke garis finish dengan baik tanpa menghalalkan segala cara, tetap ikut the rules!...WELL DONE TO ALL OF US (give a round of applause to each of us!!)



Sekarang perlombaan larinya sudah selesai and kita masih harus ikut perlombaan lainnya lagi...dalam hal ber karir, and ber keluarga....and kita nanti harus jadi pemenang lagi next time!!!



Thanks to all....CHAPTER 1 - ENDED

ANGELS VOX 2008 - FINALE

Hello teman2...
Ini sudah hampir di penghujung tahun 2008....Angels Vox tahun ini sudah 7 yrs !!!

Waktu yang tidak mudah untuk bisa tetap menjaga nama baik group yang selalu di sebut2sebagai "THE BEST INDONESIAN SINGING GROUP" for Indo community in Syd.

Kita started when semuanya masih belasan tahun, even Caecil waktu itu masih 18-19 tahun!! hanya berdasarkan modal "HOBBY BERNYANYI" akhirnya Angels Vox bisa terus memikat hati orang2 di gereja ataupun di luar gereja CIC.

Angels Vox pada tahun 2007 sempat mendapat penghargaan dari UPF (Universal of Peace Federation) sebagai best performance untuk acara UPF 2007 di Parramatta.

Banyak yang tanya apakah kita akan buat CD or something. Jawabnya : Ada kemungkinan tapi tidak tahu kapan!

3 minggu lalu setelah kira2 10 bulan tidak nyanyi bersama karena kesibukan masing2, lalu tiba2 Angels Vox tampil lagi di CIC untuk terakhir kalinya di tahun 2008. Membawakan lagu BURUNG PIPIT and THANK YOU LORD, semuanya accapella dengan arrangement yang benar2 beda dari sebelum2nya. Kini kita lebih menampilkan kualitas suara, lagu dan arrangement. Kalau dulu2 kita suka lagu yang pop, rnb, jedak jeduk, tapi sekarang lebih ke ballad dengan very strong gospel influences and also soul.

Adolf akan pindah ke Melbourne untuk pursuing his career for awhile. Jadi untuk sementara, Angels Vox akan mundur dulu dari public sampai waktu yang belum ditentukan. Tapi aku yakin, masing2 individual punya bakat music yang luar biasa and akan terus bernyanyi tanpa Adolf.

Kita bertiga punya keyakinan, kalian mungkin saja ada another Sari, ada another Caecil, ataupun akan ada another Adolfus. BUT, we're pretty sure tidak akan ada another ANGELS VOX!! Karena begitu kita bertiga (Sari, Cil and Adolf)nyanyi, seakan ada 'mojo' nya and membuat hati orang bahagia mendengar harmony suara kita bertiga.


GOOD LUCK TEMAN2!!! I LOVE YA!!!


Facts about Angels Vox:
- Sari paling tinggi badannya also paling tinggi suaranya diantara kita bertiga
- Caecil paling pendek badannya also paling rendah suaranya diantara kita bertiga
- Adolf di tengah2 and suaranya tidak tinggi, tidak rendah

- Caecil akan melanjutkan kuliah di Notre Damme university February 2009
- Adolf akan kerja di Melbourne , starts Jan 2009
- Sari akan menyelesaikan kuliahnya di Sydney Uni

- Kita bertiga are Japanesse foods lovers!!!
- Sari paling tidak bisa dance diantara kita bertiga
- Adolf paling grasak grusuk and bawel diantara kita bertiga
- Caecil paling sensitive and paling sering kena marah kalau latihan Angels Vox, karena suara nya yang lebih condong ke lagu2 LATIN/gereja daripada POP songs

- Adolf suka lupa diri kalau lagi nyanyi, karena dia think dia is the best diantara kita bertiga, jadi dia suka agak kebawa show off nya kalau nyanyi dengan nada2 yang suka di liuk2an (well thats what sari said the other day!)

- Angels Vox latihan at least sampai jam 12 malam untuk tampil 2 kali seminggu dari jam 6an
