ARMY of GOD and the others

Hey, this article is dedicated to all people in the world. Have you ever heard about Army of God?? If you never heard about Army of God it's OK. Because, now I am going to tell you about my experience.

On August 29 2010, I went to the Army of God youth revival for the first time in my life. My cousin asked me to come to Army of God. I was so excited when my cousin asked me to go with him to Army of God because I have a friend to go with. I am not alone, because if i went to Army of God alone I did not feel happy because I did not know someone at there. God speak to me at there. It was held in Grand City. It was Philip Mantofa that became the speaker. Army of God is suitable for teenagers above. But not for adults because Army of God was established for young people that can change the whole world by God's path. Army of God change my whole life. Before I went to Army of God, my character was so bad. I say bad words almost everyday. It was just like a habit for me to say that kind of words.I felt nothing when I say that kind of words. I say that kind of words because of my surroundings. But when I go to Army of God, my character was change. Because my cousin asked me to do a baptism. So I do it. At first I did not feel something is change. But time goes on, I felt that God has work to change my character. I felt that when I want to say bad words someone control my mouth and keep my mouth so I did not say bad words. Everyday seems like that and now I am not saying bad words anymore. My friend realize the changes of my characteristics and so do I. I am so blessed to have a mighty GOD. He is so powerful. Everything is possible for Him. Nothing is impossible, something that can not be think by human or something that human can not do with His hands everything is possible. I am graceful that I could have Jesus Christ as my God. Only one God in this world and it is Him. Army of God has spread all over Indonesia. God has shown his mighty power to all over the world. Example: the Army of God that held in Medan on 12-13 August. Even though heavy rain blew at Medan but the enthusiasm from the people itself grew a lot. Approximately 6000 person came at Army of God. God show His power throughout the people. The heavy rain blew Medan at 6 pm. But Army of God youth began at 7 pm. The rain stopped at 9 pm. Army of God ended at 9 pm. It is amazing right?? The enthusiasm that came out from the people to love God more and more happened in the Army of God youth revival Medan. Philip Mantofa the pastor of Mawar Sharon church has brought over 100.000 souls to God from a lot of programs and Christian revival meetings. From his ministry, spiritual leaders were groomed minister local churches in many cities in Indonesia and Asia. His passion is to see nations encounter Jesus Christ. This year on December he(Philip Mantofa) will go to India to begin the youth revival. It is the first experience for him. Taiwan is the most visited city for Philip Mantofa. Every year Philip will go to Taiwan. He spent his childhood in Taiwan. He was very naughty when he was child. He told us that when he was 5 years old he already knew about Pornography. When he was studying at first grade, he has broken one of his friends leg. When he was 16 years old, he was fighting with someone at Singapore. He was send home at that time. But, when he was 18 years old his whole life is changed. He begin to enter the theology school. At the young age, Philip Mantofa has change lots of people life. He can do some miracles too. It is a talent that God give to Philip.

A letter to an old FRIEND

Los Angeles, 21-08-2012

Elm street

Hi Allan,

I have never seen you for ten years. How are you? Where are you studying now?? How about your brother, Dave? Has he got a girlfriend?

Next year, I am going to Los Angeles for holiday. I am going there with my family. I want to see the Los Angeles Lakers game. I want to meet Kobe Bryant and the other player. Do you want to play basketball with me next year? I want to play with you again because we have never played together for 10 years. Did you remember the time when we were playing basketball together with our team at Gloria? Even though we did not enter the DBL, but we still enjoyed playing basketball, right?

OK then, that's all about my letter. See you next year!

Sincerely yours,

Hans Frederick

How to make noodle?

First you need to boil the water. Then, take the noodle. Put it inside the boiling water. Second, wait about 3 minutes. We can reduce the chemical content by boiling it twice. It is just an optional for you. It is your choice. Then put it in a bowl. Mix the other ingredients such as chili, onion and soy sauce. Mix them into a good and tasty noodle. Third, if you feel something is missing you can add an egg into your noodle. Then create your own noodle by using various kinds of ingredients such as curry, lots of vegetables, meat and etc. The third step is an optional too.

Being an eyewitness at a Ghost hospital

Monday, Alex went to hospital with his family to visit his father friend. They went there at 8 pm. Before they went to hospital, they ate first at a chinese restaurant. After they arrived, they went to room 203. After that, Alex said to his father that he wanted to take a walk for a while. His father said "OK". Then, Alex went to a lot of places inside the hospital. He saw something, a bright room on the top of the floor. That's room 666. He did not know if the room was haunted. He went inside the room. He felt that someone was following him. Then, he saw a girl was crying. But, after he went to the girl she actually gone. Then Alex suddenly felt that someone was holding his arms. After he took a look and he was shocked. He saw a ghost. He scream loudly until people at the first floor heard his voice. He ran fast but this ghost chased him until the fourth floor and the ghost was gone. He did not tell this experience that he just felt to his family. But he kept thinking about this ghost.

Single Parent

I am a student but this article may change the way you think about single parent. Divorce is the cause for single parent. A lot of divorce that have happen in this world. Single parent is not good for the kid/ children because this situation can make the children psychology condition down. But there are some good things, if the child follow his/her father/ mother and one of them(neither his/her father or mother) must be good. So maybe the child can be a better person.

Next, is about how to make marriage become a good marriage. If there are some conflicts finish it. Don't take a lot of time to finish it. Then, make sure that both of you are not going to separate. Single parent is not good. What do you think about single parent? I want that all of you wife and husband in the world live happily. Think about your children in the future. If they lost one of the family member how would their life be? Will they live happily/ full of stress because of what his/her parents did in the past? If you wife and husband have taken a promise to become one, do not make something that put the marriage at the edge.

Malaysia!

I went to Malaysia on 18 June 2007. I went there with my sister, mother and my father's friend family. My father did not join with us because he has to work. In June there are no holiday for my father. I slept at Royale Bintang hotel. This hotel is near with every food restaurant even though in the street. Do you know "nasi lemak"? It is a traditional food for the Malaysian. It is so cheap but very tasty. Only 1 ringgit or it is same like 2700 rupiah. But it has a lot of food inside. It is a big portion. Nasi Lemak is good for breakfast. This Nasi lemak only sells in the morning. Before 12 o'clock the food is sold out. So,if you want to eat "Nasi Lemak" you better wake up earlier before the "Nasi Lemak" is sold out. In Malaysia I went to a lot of places. Some Malaysian can speak "Bahasa Indonesia". But, it is better for you to speak English or Chinese to them. About four or three days I slept at Royale Bintang hotel. It is located in Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia. Inside this mall there are game facilities such as roller coaster, spinning machine and the others. But, the most visited game is the roller coaster. Because it is the first time that a mall has a roller coaster inside it. The mall is called Times Square. I was so surprised because it was my first experience to play a game facilities that have a roller coaster inside it. Haha. Next is Sunway Lagoon. If you want to enter this you must walk inside a mall. It is similar with Waterboom, but this is way bigger than Waterboom. It has a water games and land games. If land games it is like roller coaster and the others. Water games like : Waters of Africa. Inside waters of Africa there are a lot of games such as: Congo challenge, a six lane headfirst racer. Brave the heights and speed of the intense Cameroon climb or spin around in loops before propelled out of gigantic tubes on the African Pythons. It is located at the Water Park. Land games such as: Wild wild West and World of Adventure. But I am going to tell you about World of Adventure only. Inside World of Adventure you will not get wet. But if you play Wild wild West you will get wet. World of Adventure only choose by those who do not want to get wet. You will have to walk on the world's longest Pedestrian Suspension Bridge. Measuring 428m in length, it offers a breathtaking view of the whole lagoon. But, if you would rather sit, Wagon Wheel is great to catch bird's eye of the park. Experience the dips and curves of the roller coaster at the lost city of Gold and spin yourself silly on the Apache Pots. There are the 360 degrees swings of the Tomahawk and Pirate's revenge. It is located at the Amusement Park. There are Extreme park too. This place is the best place for you to play extreme games inside the Sunway Lagoon. G-Force X is the best place to measure up your adrenaline. You are going to be catapulted up to 120 km per hour, in 2 SECONDS rising to the height of 65 meters! That are all about Sunway Lagoon.

Next stop: GENTING! We slept at Resort Hotel Genting Higlands. The air is so cold. Temperature is so cold. It is located beside the Theme Park of Genting Higlands. The first thing that I remember is the superman roller coaster. We were look like a superman when we are playing this roller coaster. Then corkscrew roller coaster. This roller coaster has a twisting turning. And last but not least is the haunted house. When we enter this haunted house you will feel like it is real. It is a big long road to finish it. Lot's of ghost looks real. Such as: Someone will hold on your legs and then comes out from a drum. Then sometimes the ghost is following you from behind. The effect is so good. And the design too. It is just unbelievable. OK that's all about my story.

SINGAPORE !!!

In July 2010 me and my family went to Singapore. I stayed in an apartment. It is located in Tanjung Rhu road. I went to Singapore for 8 days, it is long enough for us. I went to Singapore on 5 July until 13 July. This is the second time I slept in apartment. The room is located on the sixth floor. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room. It is big enough for 8 person because I went there with my father, mother, sister, grandma, 2 of my cousins, and my uncle. My grandma brought a lot of oranges. But on the last day that was 13 of July, all of the oranges that my grandma brought were eaten all of it.

From airport to the apartment takes about 20 minutes. It is not too far from the airport to get to the apartment. We arrived at Changi Airport at six thirty pm. But we have to wait for the luggage first and it takes almost 20 minutes. So we arrive at the apartment at seven twenty pm. The first thing that we did were turn on all of the air conditioner(AC). Then, we put all the things that we brought. Like fruits, meatballs, and the other things. After all is done, one by one we took a turn to take a shower. The water was so cold, but there was a water heater so it is fine. After that, we went to eat. We ate in a restaurant that is famous for its hai nan chicken rice. But when we were waiting at the restaurant i saw a group of boys walking in front of the restaurant. Then I realized that my brother(cousin) was there. He was amaze and then he give a hug to my grandma. He said that it was unbelievable to met us because we have just arrived at Singapore and in the first day we directly met him. After that my brother with my father and uncle went to the nearest market to buy some bottle of water. The restaurant that we ate called "Boon Tong Kee". It took about 15 minutes to this restaurant. After we ate, we went home and sleep.

The second day we went to Universal Studios,but we did not get the ticket to enter the Universal Studios because that day all of the ticket were sold out so we decided to went to Sentosa Island because Sentosa Island is beside Universal Studios. This is the second time I went to Sentosa. Nothing is change, only the Merlion Statue will be put on there. We did not play a lot in Sentosa because there were only a few games. We only play one game and it was so fun. After we played that game, we went to the sea world at Sentosa. Only me, my sister, and two of my cousins that enter the sea world. My father and my uncle were waiting outside the sea world. It took two hours for us to finish walking and taking photo inside the sea world. This sea world is smaller than the sea world at Siam Paragon,Bangkok. After that, we ate a bowl of mangoes and kiwi fruit with ice. It was so tasty, the temperature in Sentosa was so hot so we ate that kind of food. At 5 pm, we were finish playing at Sentosa. But, my uncle and his daughter decided to take a walk alone/ separate from us. Because they wanted to see "Songs of the sea" in Sentosa. The show held at seven forty pm and I did not want to see that show because I had seen that show before. Same place same time. So me, my sister and my father decided to go to Vivo. Vivo is a shopping mall. It is so big, it got 3 levels. But this shopping mall is twice bigger than Pakuwon Trade Center( shopping mall in Surabaya ). We went to Vivo because we were going to meet my grandma and my mother. After we arrive at Vivo, my father left us home because he had a little headache. So, he went home with MRT.

The next day we went to Orchard road where there were a lot of good brands sold there like Zara, Gucci, Diesel, Giorgio Armani and so on. Orchard road was different with five years ago.. So 2005 is the last year I went to Singapore. There were a lot of new shopping malls and the other. The first thing that i remember was Takasimaya. In Takasimaya there were a lot of toys that sold there, but I did not play these toys again because i was a teenager now so i did not play children toys. In Singapore we usually travel to other place by foot or MRT. I like to go to Singapore because I can eat BURGER KING. I always eat the double whooper because it is the biggest burger in Burger King. Then in Orchard road there was an ice cream that was sold there, the seller was an old man. But the ice cream so tasty. Everyday, people will eat this ice cream and the ice cream will be sold out.

The next thing that i want to tell is about Universal Studios. In Universal Studios we arrive there at 9 o'clock. Only me, my sister, my father, my uncle and two of my cousins went to Universal Studios. After that, at 10 o'clock Universal Studios open. The place was so big until at the end of the visit to Universal Studios i was so exhausted. There was one game that is close. It's called Battle Star Galactica. It is a kind of roller coaster and it will spur your adrenaline. It was close because there were some technical error with the track. But, the other games were fun too. Like the mummy returns. It is a kind of a roller coaster. But if we want to play this game we must turn around a labyrinth to get into the roller coaster. This roller coaster was so fun. Then the Shrek 4d movie. It was so funny and cool too. If in the movie Shrek was riding a horse so the chair that we are sitting will be shaking up and down. The same as we were riding a horse in the real world. The next thing is dragon roller coaster. This is the fastest roller coaster I have ever rode.

Ok that's all about my journey to Singapore. I hope you can enjoy reading my article.

8D and Mr Wahyu

In the 2009/2010 academic year i was at class 8d. I was surprised and shocked too because my homeroom teacher was Mr Wahyu the Physical Education teacher. All of the class member was afraid with Mr Wahyu. But time goes on we were not afraid with Mr Wahyu, but we were friendlier with him. At first all of the student were afraid with Mr Wahyu because Mr Wahyu is very strict, discipline and his face look very serious. But, that is not true. Mr Wahyu was a kind, nice, friendly person. But still he was a strict and discipline person too. Until now he is that kind of person. Never change his personality. Mr Wahyu was a trainer in a military school. His job suit him well because he is strong, discipline, strict, serious. When we had a morning prayer time, sometimes Mr Wahyu told about his story when he worked at the military school. He used to eat rice bowl that the meat and vegetables were only fish oil and raw eggs. If in military school we must finished the food even though we were throw up or vomit we could not vomit in the other place, we must put it into the rice bowl. And then the craziest thing was we had to take turn in order to eat. That was so gross. Even a person throw up his food, if we got his food we must eat it. It was so disgusting. After we heard his story,all of us(my friends and I) said that it was so disgusting. Because we would never ate that kind of food. In my class there were two smartest student on the 8th grade their name are Davin and Ivan. So in my class a lot of unique skills that everybody have, different kind of skills. Like Yosua. He is the best student that could play music well in our class, he could play keyboard, drum, and guitar. But when we had a devotion that school held it every wednesday Yosua always play guitar or keyboard because he is good at keyboard and guitar not drum. Mr Dicky our music teacher said that he(Yosua) was better than Mr Dicky when Mr Dicky was in junior high school. Yosua could play one of Rhoma Irama(the king of Dangdut) song. It is "Sekuntum Mawar Merah" or if we translate in English a bucket of roses. Yosua is good in math too,he always got a good score at math. Yosua was a patient person too. If we tease him, he would never be angry to us. He only gave us a smile. Then the person that i would like to tell now is Cecilia. Cecilia had a nickname "HITLER". The first person that created that nickname was Hartono because when Hartono tease her, she scratch Hartono right hand and it was a big scratch. If we measure it, it was 8 centimeters long. Hartono's hand was bleeding. But Cecil is the average girl on 8d, Yosefin is the same as Cecil too. I could say they were the average because they always do the same with the other person in every lesson, and they were diligent too. Chelsy her skill is at singing, she has got a good voice. Sometimes she became our worship leader in the devotion time. Then Ivena, she is good at english. I was so embarrassed if i lose english with her, because from grade 7 she usually won from me, so i wanted to have a revenge to her. So if i lost, she will be so happy and i will be so embarrassed. Novia, she is a creative person. She can draw well. If our teacher told us to made a group usually I ask her to become the member of the group. And sometimes Cecil do the same with what I do to her. Then Hartono, he was my friend at 7th grade. He is a smart person too, but he was lazy too. Same with me, I was lazy too. But now, I don't. Hartono is good at sport. He can play basketball, badminton, softball, and volley well. But, basketball is the sport that he mastered well. The boys in my class are Aaron, Daniel, Davin, Handi, Me, Hartono, Ivan, Michael, Tommy, Yansen, Yosua. The girls are Adela, Cecilia, Chelsy, Ivena, Jasmine, Novia, Yosefin. Yansen is my best friend for four years. This year is the fifth year Yansen be my best friend. He is a funny person. He can do breakdance and Hip-Hop. He is good at it. He teach me to do the first step. It is "Baby Freeze". Aaron is good at playing guitar, Handi is good at drawing, Michael is good at making jokes. His face looks innocent.

Ok then that's all about my story about 8d and Mr Wahyu. I hope you will enjoy reading my story

7D Class and the others

In the 2008/2009 academic year I got into 7d class. I was nervous at that time because it was a new class for me in the junior high school program. Ms Yohana was my homeroom teacher. I thought that my class was the worst class but at the end of the academic year this was the best class because it was my first class at that time. At first we did not know each other,but after we introduce our name one by one we felt like we had known each other for a long time. The leader of the class was me. I was amazed because I did not know why everybody choose me. There were no vice chairman of the class. So I must control the class with the help of my friends. I had to cooperate with my friends. Because I could not control the class by my own. It such a big responsibility for me because this was my first time became a leader of the class for 1 year academic year. At first my friends did not follow my rules. But,after a week they could follow me to be quiet,respect the teachers and the others. Even though sometimes they were crowded at class but they could respect me as their leader and respect the teachers. I was proud at them because all of them had their own unique style. Like Kenny,he always made jokes for us. He was the one who could made the class became fun,crowded but focused at the lesson. Ms Yohana was a nice,friendly teacher. She always managed the class. Never forgot to collect the cash money of the class,always manage when we had a worship class every Wednesday. Never forgot to motivate us when we had a lot of homework,and test. She always told us to study hard then pray to God asked Him to gave us a good memory when we did our test. She told us to read the bible everyday because when we read the bible everyday we would not forget God. We need to read the word of God because it is a must for us. Word of God will be our soul forever. Ms Yohana never made us down but she always motivate us. We could tell our problems to Ms Yohana. One thing that I could not forgot about 7d class was all of us were good at sport. Sports like soccer,basketball,softball,and badminton was the subject that we were good at. Kenny,Hartono,Samuel,Hendrikus,Faustine,me were the person who good at that sports. That made us became a perfect class.

One thing that I could not forget was the competition between classes. School held that competition after we had the exams on December. There were a lot of games. But,only soccer and basketball that I could not forget because it was a dramatic situation for our class. The first thing that I wanted to tell was the basketball competition. Our class had to compete with the other classes. There were 4 classes in the seven grade 7a,7b,7c,7d and the eight grade split into two classes 8a and 8b. So the total class that I had to compete with was 5 class. Every class played 4 or 5 times i forgot then if we won we got 2 or 3 points. The game that i remember was when we play with 7b team. At first me and my friends could handle the game,but after the break time we lost. We lost because we are not cooperate with others. So I shoot,lay up and so on by my own. Not doing that with the others,so I was selfish at that time. I still could not cooperate with my friends well. Second that i would tell was the soccer championship. There were two things that i could remember here were when my class challenge 7b and when we challenge 8a. First when we challenge 8a the score was 3-2 for 8a. We lost because I made a silly mistake. My mistake was when i face one on one with Hanzel i ran to the front to catch the ball but Hanzel did a clever thing he tricked me. He put the ball on his left foot and then I was doing something that made Hanzel could pass over me. Then he shot to the goalpost and goal. After that,Mr Wahyu as the referee stopped the game with ringing the whistle. Second when we challenge 7b. We lost because i hit my knee. So,i had to recover it. It took thirty minutes to recover my knee. It was so painful,i almost could not walk. I think my story had to end here,I will always love 7d class. It was the best class ever! I will always remember 7d. 7d would always stay inside my heart.
