Mamita



No the title has nothing to do with Beyonce's song =P
I just thought the song was good.. catching her singing in the ellen show (who i think is more comfortable to watch, compares to Oprah).

Well mamita is..
a lady who comes to our house now and then to do housekeeping.
i am not sure why i decide to write this.
probably it's the impressively neat room of ours that inspires me.

for those who have been to braddell.. they know how messy me and my brothers are.
but no matter how messy we would get,
mamita will take care of it.
she has never failed, not even once.. to change our disaster room into a decent one.

maybe that's the gift of a woman.
but i am pretty sure that we have never had such an incredible housekeeper like her.
for a start.. she stays in private condo while we stay in hdb ^^
and secondly.. she is honest.

when my life ends.. i would think of amazing people God has allows me to meet.
like my family.
and some of my NUS friends..
and mamita.

she oft reminds me of how God..
in similar way..
in all His grace, would equal all the mess I made.
and turns my life around.

everytime i pushed Him away,
and begin my xxx'th sequel of the 'prodigal son' story,
He would wait for my return,
complete with all the stain and mess,

and He wouldn't ask where I got all those,
or how, or why.. coz He knows.
instead, He would take me in and cleanse me.
and He never fails.

but mamita will not be there for me forever,
and God's patience, is not something to be taken for granted.

so this year, my daily prayer would be Moses' one.
that God.. you would grant me the wisdom to number my days,
and to make the most out of it, with You.

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 -_-

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...
