8th and Praying

There is only one explanation to the 8th one: prayer.

My mum unfailingly pray for me every day for the last 28 years.
(the only person whose love i have given up competing against..
i simply won't be able to love her more in return).

Sometimes, when she told me over the phone that she prays this and that for me..
I would just take it for granted.

But for the 8th case..
what can i say?
A complete stranger left a message: 'i want to sell my property'.
There were so many agents in the website and they picked me?

Some unbelievable events took place.
two days after i visited his place, his neighbor came knocking,
wanting to buy his house.
i have not signed any agreement with him.
only verbal agreement between us.
he could have dealt directly with the buyer to avoid paying me comms.
instead he told the buyer, "i have an agent, pls liaise with him".

I was like.. "whaat.... " when he told me that.
i didn't expect such loyalty even from a friend,
(coz i doubt i have such loyalty myself)
and yet this is.. a stranger.
they were not stupid.. they were simply holding to their words.

Few unbelievable events followed,
and in three days..
- i found out that the family are christian, including the indonesian maid.
- these baptist church couple have outstanding integrity that amaze me. they told the buyer the defects in their house, even though they were not visible.
they were not stupid.. they were simply not compromising.
- and we close the deal in three days.

Sigh.. what a grace.. what a couple.
I dunno what they learned from their church, but the pastor taught well.
they are not speaking in tongue.. yet they have the fruit of the Spirit.

Coming back to prayer-
I can only thank everyone who have been praying for me.
I need more of those, really.
Because you see.. I am so far from being good enough,
that I need so much grace, so many prayers.

Thank you for your prayer =)

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 -_-
