the circle

When they say "I love you forever"
sometimes I wonder if they know how long 'forever' is.
Coz I don't.
I only know that humans don't live forever.
If anything.. only God knows what 'forever' means.

Anyway.. Anita's bro, also named David, was with us last night.
He had flown back to Japan early morning.
Noticed that we have so many things in common. Most importantly, we both lovee Japan.
And it got me thinking..'hey.. I could have walked that path"

I wonder if I had planned it differently,
if I had studied hard for the Japan scholarship nine years ago and got in,
it would have been better.

But then.. it just goes to show how brilliant God is.
I believe that despite our similarities..
we are walking very different paths not by coincidence or failure.
It's perfectly in His plan.
And I believe it couldn't have been any better.

I remember this part of the Three Kingdom movie where Luo Ping An (played by Sammo Hung), told Zhi Long (Andy Lau) how he envied Zhi Long.
Despite being older and first to join the army, Ping An never achieved anything while Zhi Long was one of the legendary five tiger generals.

So Zhi Long told him,
"In the end, am I not only walking in big circle of life? Coming back to where I began? What's so difference between us?"
Something like that.

I guess that's what Solomon felt when he wrote that favorite book of mine.
Everything was vanity.
Whether he was an ordinary man, or the wisest king in history..
life still comes to the same end point.

But such wisdom.. how could we ever agree?
Unless we have been to the moon and back,
to the top of world and back.

For us.. the ordinary being striving hard to the top..
how could we ever grasp such understanding even if we read about it?

That's too difficult Lord.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
