circle of life

yet another roller coaster week.
ups and downs in all sort of way.

from football results (by that, I solely mean Arsenal) to works to personal state of discipline.

well.. Saturday was over about half an hour ago.
so, it's officially April now!
that's FAST!

met with hadi, ono, and rimbun for dinner.
hadi is now holding pink IC.
I am happy for him now that he gets to become a citizen in this country that he calls home.

But at the same time I feel sad that he has become disilussioned with Indonesia to a point that he doesn't want his kids to be associated with Indonesia in any way.
It's sad that he never feels welcome in the country where he was born.

And as much as I love my country,
I can symphatize with people like hadi.
Especially those who experience first hand the '98 riot.
And no.. you can't just tell them 'it was all in the past' in the name of harmony.

It takes Jesus to heal this nation.
It takes Jesus to reconcile these people.
And it takes us, God's children, to intercede for this nation.

I so believe that.. God is on the move.

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....
