20- 123

I thought I would have blogged more this year.
I was wrong.
I expected a challenging year.
I was right.

A friend tweeted that 2012 has been her best year yet.
And how often do I wish this for others on new year.
But 2012 isn't my best yet.

It is memorable though. And thru it all, God's been good.
He preserves me and my family.
And the highlight at the end of this year is definitely my brother's job.
That's gotta be 'the' Christmas present.

So here we are. The last day of 2012.

God has left us with more questions than answers at this juncture.
So much so that I am not sure what I need to pray for first this morning.

In a simple imaginary world of mine,
I wish I would land a job in Jakarta that earns $20-30k a month tomorrow.
I wish I would start planning with my life partner too tomorrow.
I wish at least one of these come true for goodness sake!

Our friend Pi would have wished to be stranded on Pacific Ocean with his dream lover too.
But sometimes God just has to send Richard Parker to your life boat.
In fact that's how God works usually.

Well.. but even the most extraordinary thing comes to end in this side of life.
Whether it's a party, whether it's a funeral.
Whether it's laugher, whether it's tear.

I don't know what is to end and what is to begin in 2013.
But something certainly is and will.
For the old is gone and the new has come.

So.. 2013. Bring it on,  Jesus.
I look forward to it.
I see new ground breaking.
I see seeds of faith being sown.
I see answered prayers.
I see fruitfulness.

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...
