Problem

life gets frustrating because we expect problem-free days.
while the truth is, there will always be problem.
though 80% of what we categorise as 'problem',
are not really problems.

like where to eat,
what dress to wear,
how to apply leave for holiday,
and how to motivate ourselves to work.

the '1st world country' problems, so to speak.

now if we approach each day by expecting problems,
maybe our heart will be better prepared, we won't sweat over at least 80% of problem that comes our way.
well yes.. the remaining 20% will still cause us to sweat, and fear.

but faith and fear have inevitable chemistry.
at least that's what i humbly learn, eventually.

our peace is not found in emptiness of mind and absence of noise.
our peace is found in chaos of life and raging of storm.

"be still, and know that I am God", thus said the Lord of Host.

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...

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....
