Things that make us grow

Just now.. my manager sent an email which among many things,
he congratulated me for my performance this year.

as much as i love the sound of these praises,
i am fully aware that this is not what makes me grow.

the turning point for me was when i was told
by my fellow colleague that..
"to be frank.. you had a very poor performance".

he would never know how much those words meant to me.
those harsh words are the things that made me grow.

so was my beloved lady boss at the last company i worked for (a.k.a. bos ayam).
she was the one that made me grow,
instead of my other friendly bosses i worked under before.

the good stuff are often bitter.
and often God let us face those bitter experiences.

He allowed David to fight lions and bears alone.
He allowed David to persevere with his brothers who loved to mock him.
because He knew that one day David would have to fight a battle only he could fight.

He is preparing us for a different giant. A giant nonetheless.

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 -_-
