Fairy Tale with a Tail

Here's a story of a senior I met at UPH.

I remember one day, this senior girl went up and lead worship with a guy, singing "Rindu Slalu" in chapel.
Somehow I was blown away. I thought.. woww.. that song was so touching.
Btw.. my modern Christian songs journey began with 'Saat Menyembah' album by Franky Sihombing.
Masi pake kaset, yg covernya item.
I digress.

Back to my senior.
From that day onwards, I admired her. And she somehow looked gorgeous with her trademark bandanna. Maybe I always liked bandanna to begin with.
And she was kind too. Type senior populer dah.

And one day, I had a shocking revelation.
That senior.. was actually the daughter of my mum's very close friend in Jambi.
We met many times when we were much smaller.. but I couldn't recall her. Obviously she wasn't that pretty at the age of 10 or 11.

Cut the story short..
After few months, I left UPH. And after few years, I heard from my mum that she got married to a guy who served in the same church with her.
Typical Christian love story :P

And fast forward a bit more, I was told she moved to US with her husband.
I didn't know how they did it but they seemed to settle well over there. Good for her. Seemed like an ideal life.

Except for one thing.

Today I was told she has divorced and returned home with her three kids.

Somehow, somewhere, somewhat.. this typical Christian marriage went wrong.
I don't understand.
Sigh..

I hope you are coping well and God would take care of your every need sis.

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....
