A Chinese Odissey

This is one of my favorite Stephen Chow's movies.
Loosely based on 'Journey to the west' novel, it's a hilarious mo lei tau comedy, a trademark genre of Chow's movies.
And of course, it stars Athena Chu, who was my favorite HK actress.
Athena was always exceptionally charming in a period drama costume.
And only now I know that she used to date Stephen Chow =D
No wonder..

While my dad could boast that they got Bruce Lee in their era, we could probably boast that we got Stephen Chow in ours. maybe this generation could boast about Justin Bibir.

If we assume that man's life span is 80 yrs, I'm almost half the journey.
Interesting to find out what adventure awaits at the other half.
In any case.. we've got no time to waste.
That's why I believe I should see as much as I can, draw inspiration from as many source, as many place, as many culture as possible.

After the adventure with Andreas to East Java (so grateful for Cuy and Wan's kindness), I am looking forward to more journeys and more experiences.

This morning my boss called and asked if I am keen to take part in DTZ's exhibition to Jakarta. Woww.. been waiting for this call! Hope I got selected. I know there are many more experienced guys in the company but.. let's hope! ;)

Speaking of Indonesia, let me quote a man I spoke to during my Java adventure,

"Indonesia is going to become so much better SOON. This is not a 'hope so', not a probability, nor a wish. It's definitive! PASTI!"

Whatever your passport color is today, do pray for this country and its people. Don't give up.

"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14

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....
