Old is Good

I hope this doesn't come across as pathetic.

Well.. this weekend I got a pretty simple hope.
I said 'hope' but it was more like 'prayer'. -__-
I prayed that the climax of my weekend was not the Arsenal game last night (which we won, thankfully).
I could have torn my shirt and covered myself in ashes if we lost again.

Yeah.. I blogged about how pumped I was for September.
But somehow I find myself in need of inspiration now.

So to have Arsenal game as conclusion to my weekend would be.. just.. sad.

But God..
How we love it when these two words appear on Bible.

But God..
He just loves to give us that sweet little surprise.

We invited our friend who is getting married soon for a small bachelor night.
I expect some 'deep' talk but nothing too 'pleasant'.
Well I can't explain the reason why in this blog.
I wish we have that funny drug used in the movie Hangover, you see.
But of course, we don't.

Anyway.. as we talked, one of my friends pointed out that we have been friends for 11 yrs. We've been friends from the time we were all 'susah', or broke. Being students and all, we made friends not because of status. We had no 'networking' agenda either. We just became friends.

The friendship was pure and somehow, overtime, it was proven to be pure, still.

I totally enjoyed our talk tonight, realising how these guys have featured in more than one third of my life.
I am not a socializing type. So all the more.. I appreciate those few good friends I make in this place.

Old friends, as iot says, are truly like wine.
Warm and intoxicating =)

so.. there's indeed something better than Arsenal that happens this weekend =)

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....
