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 =)

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
