vapor

Abel's name means.. vapor.

And his life probably reflects that.

Having to move again after almost 3 years, I went thru stuff that I have kept in boxes for years. Now that our new place have limited space and have no store room, I have no choice but to be cruel to my stuff. I am throwing away most of the things I have been keeping for memento sake.

Going thru those stuff.. give me mixed feelings. Sometimes it's inexplicably heavy.
Sometimes.. silly smiles and small laughter. And gratefulness. and at times.. tough time figuring out the origin of the stuff, the reason behind my writing, etc.

like ika said.. sadly.. most of these things are no longer the way they are today.

things you thought would stay forever.. they don't.
they're just vapor in this life- a life which in itself is merely vapor.

however life has been meaningful because of all these things.
like the 24 friends who began this journey with me on November 15th, 1999.
"batch 5".. you are the reason I will always remember the first 6 months in singapore as one of the best moments in my life =)

and NUS.. lots and lots of memories there =) youth nus, the jokers, the midnight chat, the prayers, the suppers.. geez..

things used to be emotional in the past. nowadays.. it's professional mostly.

heh.. I think I am getting melancholic ^^

Anyway.. here we are now. Nov 2010. life goes on. and i pray it gets better for all of us. I know it does for mine =)

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...
