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.

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
