chicken soup for the soul

there used to be a bestselling book with that title.
a far cry from today's motivational or success coaching books.

chicken soup was simple and rather than altering our mind, it nourishes our soul.

such was my conversation with someone I could call a 'good friend' tonight.
maybe I have been too proud to admit that I need such a conversation.
to admit that I have been fooling myself and I need some trashing. well.. some good trashing from a true friend.

i almost missed out this meeting,
and am glad i didn't.
God does have everything under his control.

the talk affirmed so many things I have been afraid to admit.
aren't you glad for such a friend?
in my friend's words, I need someone who is willing to break into the walls I build up in order to find the true me.
in my words, that would be the true me, along with all my vulnerabilities and stupidity.

to me a true friend is not just someone who is there to support, but that person is there to do the dirty job of speaking the truth and risk upsetting me too when it's needed.

and to certain extent, I find such friends too among our Blessed family members. thank you :)
i do need you, folks.

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.

Hmm..

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 -_-
