the 10% that's missing

No I am not talking about tithing.

I am talking about.. my beloved Donald Duck mug.
I am not a big Disney fan but during my high school time,
girls were crazy about 'kertas file', if you know what I mean.
Those papers with nice pictures of Disney characters, Anime characters, etc.
But mostly are Disneys.

so inevitably certain friends would want to share their collections with you.
and they would ask which is your fave Disney character.
and after much thought, I realised that I did like one figure very much.

And that's the unlucky, poor, persistent Donald Duck.

So I got this Donald Duck mug gift from my brother.
And I like it very much.
But I got one problem. I dunno where or how to find a suitable cover and er.. saucer? (alas mskdnya), that complement my mug.

I went to Ikea and they had everything but 'alas'.
And when you drink iced drink, you would realise how troublesome it is without alas.
It's probably just a small part. But it makes a lot of difference.

I think the same goes to a lot of other things in life.
The very thing that separates good from great, and almost-there from actually making it,
is that 10% component.

At times you probably know what is the missing 10%.
but at times.. you just have to figure it out.
So here I am.. needing God's wisdom to figure out that 10% final piece.

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...
