Sadness

That day my bro said 'it's sad when two persons who love each other cannot be together'
But come to think of it, maybe it's sadder when two persons who don't love each other have to be together.

Just like Bamboo and Forest, two characters in my never finished story. Bamboo had grown disillusioned with Forest and he just loved to criticize every single aspect of Forest's weakness. Not enough sunshine, not enough water, nothing is right.
But alas, Bamboo just couldn't move away to another forest. He was so planted there.

Forest herself, as much as she hated Bamboo's daily rant, was all the same powerless in discarding Bamboo. Even if she was criticized, it was her nature to keep supplying Bamboo with the warmth of sunshine and the freshness of water.

It was painful for both of them. Everyone thought they were happily inseparable but the truth was that they were painstakingly inseparable.

Nothing could be done, yet nothing need to be done. Coz slowly yet surely, Bamboo who had never really loved Forest's existence from the beginning, has grown to understand the value of Forest. He has grown to appreciate Forest for being there regardless of the seasons.

He still loves to criticize Forest yet he has slowly become content and at peace upon thinking that one day he will die in Forest's embrace.

And Forest? Forest will always be Forest who is there to support Bamboo.

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
