Student of the Past

So while I am currently looking up and down for enlightenment (which obviously isn't anywhere to be seen)..
I decided to look back. At right before this 5 years journey started.

It was 2008.
Someone got married that year.
So I wrote this as a parting memento.

But looking back now, 2008 seems like the Super Lite version of 2014 hah.
It's like 2014 Air.
Life is interesting that way.
And that's why journal-ing is so,so important in our spiritual life.

I just joined the real estate industry back then. Letting go my monthly paycheck.
And I made less than $10k that whole year.
So work-wise, it wasn't a great year either.
Oh and I got cheated 12.5k too that year haha -__-"

However.. God spoke that year.
So I wrote this and this .

Looking back to 2009.. I can only say "wow!".
The year 2009 was a breakthrough in many ways.
Both in my real estate work as well as in relationship matter. As some of my friends would know.

Always give that warm feeling whenever I think of that year.
Many of my close friends bought their first houses thru me that year.
Utterly and eternally grateful minna-san!

Fall 2009? That was really when the 'journey' well and truly began.
Looking back at my journal, I can only say that I am amazed.
Yes, it didn't work out the way it should have been.
But with all humility, I confess that I made a mess out of the blessing I received.

I learn so much, so late.
But because of what He spoke in 2008, somehow I always believed.
Though if He were to initiate change of direction,
who am I to say no right?

So.. 2014. It's almost a wrap now.
It's time to be still and listen.
What He is about to tell me.
About 2015, life, love, and above all.. Him.

So.. speak oh Lord,
We are listening =)

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...
