After taste

So I just created my tumblr acct. And not very sure where to go from there.
Even this blog has been pretty quiet.

But having read Malcolm Gladwell's David & Goliath, I feel like writing again.
The moment we stop reading is the moment we stop leading they say.

I highly recommend David & Goliath.
It challenges us to rethink what we consider as "strong" in our world. And what we consider as "weak".
The giants are not really as strong as they seem.
and the underdogs are not really as weak as they seem.

No one express this paradox better than Paul when he said,
"for when I am weak, then I am strong". (2 Cor 12)

Now.. this post.

I wanna ask..

Apa sih hal yg elo masi sgt penasaran atau sgt pengen banget bangett utk achieve atau taste di dlm hidup ini?
Atau yg lo mgkn uda rasain, dan pengen lebihh dan lebihh lagi?

Erm.. whats the english for that?
Guess.. I am asking, what are the things that you are most curious about in life, things that you are dying to achieve or taste or simply to have more and more of them?

One of the richest men living in Pantai Mutiara is constantly living in fear.
What is his greatest fear?
That he would one day become poor.
I am not sure if his fear is greater than that of the richest man living in Menteng heh.

As for fame..
We are all too aware of how the biggest stars in the business of fame would be destroyed by the very fame that they work so hard to attain.

So.. seems that whether it's fame, power, or money.. the satisfaction they bring, in an x-y graph, would all look like an inverted U curve.

And then coming back to that question.
What is your greatest curiosity or goal?

How do you think achieving or tasting that holy grail would feel like?
How would the after taste be like?
And what about life after that?

hmm...

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....
