Stand by me Jesus!

Happy new year mortals!
Well.. funny isn't it how we spend millions and millions of dollars to celebrate a shift from one day to another.
Anyway..

I thank God that 2014 is over.
the less said about 2014 the better.
i know five years from now, i will probably only remember the good things about 2014.
but I am lacking the talent to accept everything now (*jay chou's 'an jing' playing)

but i will journal here my 'last list' in 2014.

The last movie that I watched was Stand by me, Doraemon.
That movie is probably the highlight of my 2014 cinema affair.
Certainly the best animation of the year for me.
And I teared all the way, damn you nobita!

The last passages that I read repeatedly, are Hebrews 12 and James 1.
Both of which are amazingly relevant. God's Word! Oh how I love it.

The last two books that I read, are 'First you have to row a little boat' and 'Zero to One'.
Both are secular books. HOWEVER..
oh how they spoke to my life!!especially the 'little boat'.
And YES, highly recommended!
Zero to One is more about insight into building a successful business actually.

The last sermon spoke about this verse:

















Yeah, Isaiah 41:10.

And then, the last person I met with (apart from my family),
was Andri kuya! On 31st Dec.
For whatever reason, I have always wanted to meet with him.

I consider him and my brother to be of the same spirit as me.
Well, we are not necessarily that similar.
But it was truly a joy to share with him and learn from his perspective.
One thing for sure, we admire CS Lewis and John Piper just as much.

The meeting helps me in charting my journey for 2015, from ministry pov.

Oh.. what else?
Ok.. here it is.
Thank you to all my close friends who sincerely come to offer me support and pray for me.
When I feel like the other side are cheering my fall in their camp, it gives me comfort to know that God has sent some true friends who stood by me, just like Doraemon.
Not alone after all.

Come 2015, let's take a walk.

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.

Hmm..

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 -_-
