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...

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 ...

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'
