Orthros no Inu

those who want to be popular.. cannot hang around with the absolute truth.
those who want to stick with the absolute truth.. cannot be popular.

well the above two lines have little to do with the japanese dorama that vivy successfully recommended to me actually. i just felt like starting with those words.

the dorama was about a kindhearted teacher who could kill with a touch of his hand and a mysterious death-row prisoner who could heal any kind of wound or sickness with a touch of his hand.

those who watch Inuyasha would notice the resemblance.

i don't see too much of a problem with a guy who could kill by touching. maybe because we grow in a country full with stories of some witches who could kill from afar.

but it's definitely problematic when you have someone who could heal with his touch.
the world would bow down to him.. there are people who would do anything, including killing, to be healed.

and i like how this dorama, like some other japanese serials, fleshes out the ugliness of human's greed and desire.

and it brings us to the point of 'killing'.
basically.. often.. we don't kill not because we don't want to do it..
we don't kill because:
1. we don't have the capability, or..
2. we are scared of the consequence (prison, death sentence, hell?)

and we hate to admit or acknowledge that it's the truth.

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 -_-
