of freedom, and man and shotgun

'the guy with the most freedom in this whole ocean is the Pirate King!'
- Monkey D Luffy, One Piece

This manga is about one thing. Race to the Grand Line, where the ultimate treasure called 'One Piece' is hidden. 
All pirates understand 'Pirate King' as the one pirate who manages to get to the treasure first.
Well.. almost all.
Because there is Luffy who seems to care nothing about the treasure's content.
For him.. the man with the most freedom in this whole ocean is the King.

How true it is.
I think the happiest man in this world is indeed the man with the most freedom.
And such a man is truly a king.

In another manga, Naruto, there is an excellent character named Itachi.
A smart, kindhearted boy with an immense burden he was destined to carry.
Well.. he could have chosen to be selfish and follow his heart desire.
And no one would have blamed him probably.

He chose to carry the burden though.

And with that, he compromised his own freedom.

Luffy was a lie. You can never be luffy in real life and stay alive.
in life, there is consequence, there is sacrifice.
in life.. you are more likely to face what Itachi faces.

and being a man..
you eventually realise this.

a man's got to do what a man's got to do. 


Now just for some random stuff.
Here's a funny (but true) quote from L'Amour (again).

“There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she.”
Louis L'Amour

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 -_-
