Remember Thomas?

When I was in college, there was a particular T-shirt design, "Remember Peter?" under a picture of a rooster.

"Remember Thomas?" popped-up after my previous posting.

"Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." [Jn 20:29, NIV]

Mk 5:36

... Yesus ... berkata ... "Jangan takut, percaya saja!" [TB]

... Jesus ... said ..., "Do not be afraid; only believe." [NKJV]

Believing -- instead of being afraid -- is not as easy as saying it. There was a particular case that frightened me. I was anxious about it for almost a week. Last night God let me have a glimpse on what is going on. Indeed I need not be anxious at all. *blushing* 

'Believing without seeing' is not that easy to do.

Different speed

What happen if three cars with three different speed are subject to a convoy?

\begin{eqnarray*}
   v_1 > v_2 > v_3 \\
   v_{convoy} = ?
\end{eqnarray*}

(What a LaTeX freak!)

Nothing is impossible

Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.
[Isaiah 43:18-19]

Bolang Baling

Tahu nggak? Ternyata ada juga nama kue yang aku tahu tanpa Helena tahu. (Untuk latar belakangnya baca ini.) Helena nggak tahu bolang-baling itu apa. :P

New Year's trip

My annual new year's journey has just ended. As usual, we were heading to Boja, Semarang. The last trip was adventurous. It had been raining heavily for days (as if somebody was flushing the toilet up there). Flood came. Ngawi was isolated. We had to travel through 'alternative road' to get to Sragen without entering Ngawi. Long and tiresome journey. Added to that, it was not easy to find gasoline for our car. The themes of this particular trip were: heavy rain, flood, and searching for pertamax).
