Reinhard Gouw's Journal

27th August was a nice day and I'm grateful that God has given such wonderful friends around.


Early morning, suddenly my lovely siblings came in my room with birthday hat on, brought a candle-lit cake with a smiling face on it and sang the birthday song for me. It's the O4 Crew! And just as wonderful as that, they made my day when I thought it'll be plain. They gave me this great frame of our claydolls, made from our photo we took before the Petra Parade. It's absolutely meaningful for me! Then they told me to wear the hat all day in school with the miss universe-like tag, and drove me to school with shoutouts along the way. That was fun!  I thank you guys. A lot. :)







Then at school there's Ubaya University exhibition and I walked around with the attributes on. The guys made me took photo in every stall of Ubaya with the pose of a marketing. Then after walking around for some time, Hana came and told me about Myra. Along the week Myra acted strange and ignored me because when she lost her cellphone, she found it in my bag. And not just that, I got in some troubles with some of my other friends and felt like the week's a nasty one. So Hana came and fired me up about Myra. Then I said I didn't care. So I walked back to the center of the stalls where Myra came and we had some arguments and all eyes were there. So I just made it clear that I didn't know any single thing about his cellphone and it's up to her what she thinks about me after this. The argument continues and suddenly a cake from behind.. So the complete troubles along the week was their made up! Mehn it's good when I knew and it's wonderful that they care for me by this! :) Love you guys.

I feel like I'm not ready, like it's all too fast. The stage where I was still a kid, a teenager, now going youth who's gotta focus on the future. Everything's passed. And now going to the next stage of life after a long time..feels anxious. Tomorrow's the day!

I remember how things change for me, a damn lot of things. How I passed those self-shy, no friends, nerd, freak, the emo thing, the stupid love, the harajuku freak, korean, being crazy a-go-go, learning how to perform on a stage, everything. And the things that God changed for me that I will always remember: How He made me a lot of friends from no friends at all, how He made me dance.

I was a nerd and I couldn't believe that I'd have a lot of friends, dream that was. But suddenly how things change and how I feel odd when I look back now.. "How??" Such a change happened, and it's such an amazing change from You. I am grateful to have lots of great friends, from different backgrounds. They're all great and without them I won't be me right now. Thank you for everyone who's been a friend of mine. And I hope that I will be rebonded with old close friends.. Hoping to have more ahead! :)

Dance, the one precious thing He gave me. I don't know how will my teenage life be without dancing. I never wanna be ordinary. And given dance, is one of what made me feel extraordinary. Stepping to learn dance, entered AOG Crew, and now learning as a member of G-Center Perfect Squad.. I hope I will always have the passion to dance, and give my best for Him. 'Cause one thing dance has taught me.. "It's not about being the best, it's about giving the best of you."

Family. I will make you proud, mom and dad, and sis. Having me as one of your family member.. I may hurt your feeling sometimes, and I'm sorry. I will always try to be a better and better son and brother. I will make you happy, someday I will. I believe and I have faith that I'm born to be great! Everyone does. :)

My life will be harder and wilder ahead! One thing that determines the feeling of the ride is me. And let the Lord lead the way. Thanks, teenage me for these nice years.. And I'm getting old. How will my next journey be? Let's have a look.

SMILE for a CHANGE. :)

Years since the last time I updated this blog! You know, I moved to an apartment since my home was being renovated, and there's no internet connection there so I can't do the update thing.. Lots of things happened, a damn lot of thing happened during my absence here. The DBL Competition, The Big Groove 2011, the jobs, the performances, the class farewell, the love story, everything! And it'll be too much to update in one night, so let me just post the pics.

DBL DANCE COMPETITION 2011



We advanced to Top 10, but didn't pass to Big 5 like last year. But for a week practice, it's already awesome, right? Thank God! :)

The Big Groove 2011
Now this is the brag zone. Sorries! Take a look

Street rats.

So that's about all of it. Not all, but quite enough.
