a night in surabaya

in life, in games, in wars...
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
we go from battle to battle in life.
and at any given time, the only battle that matters is the one ahead of us.

i once read a gem titled 'the present',
written by the author of 'who moved my cheese'.
which is another gem everyone should read I think.

the message of the book is simple.
the importance of being 'in the present', no matter what season of life you are at.

no matter how bad or great your yesterday was,
or how exciting or frightening your tomorrow seem to be.
nothing matters more than to be in the present.

that kind of discipline takes years and years to master.
still learning.. keep failing..

but it does help when you are sitting in front of your laptop,
inside a cosy and spacious JW Marriott hotel room.
feels like staycation. though I am here only for a friend's wedding.

in less than a week, attended two weddings in JW Marriott hotels..
One in Jakarta and one in Surabaya.
Must say that I find the Surabaya's one slightly better.

and Surabayan certainly seem to be more enthusiastic than us the Jakartans, when it comes to dressing up for this kind of event.
so yeah.. to borrow dian's words, plenty of eye candies.

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 -_-
