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.

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.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-
