Recap 2015 part 2

two days ago I attended a lunch meeting with some Christian friends.
as per usual SOP, once I tell them that I am a property agent, the next question will be,
'how was the property market this year?'

they were shocked when I told them plainly that I thought it was good.
personally, I consider it a fruitful year.
of course I have not reached 'top producer' level yet.
the elite group of agents who make hundreds of thousands a year.
but based on my personal history, I actually hit a new record in 2015.

so I learn that indeed he is God who provides.
on the year that I need extra resources to provide for the family need,
he sent me extra provision, just like that.
i did not do anything differently this year. yet He made all the differences.

a man has got to do what a man has got to do.
so being at peace with that.. I learn to embrace the challenge and battle that come my way.
i thank God for He sees that I am worthy of being entrusted with this fight.
and in closing some doors, He forced me to take a different path towards a greater view.

the world is vast.. and filled with enormous possibilities.
what we presumed to be the best possible script to happen in our lives,
may often be merely subplot to a grander scheme in His eyes.
and subplots are not meant to be the climax of any story.

I started 2015 with doubts.
doubt over my worth and determination.
I end 2015 with a restored confidence and steel.

In fact, a confidence greater than anything I ever had before.
A conviction greater than a 20 something David ever had.

as I type this post I finally realise what the year of restoration is all about for me
I kept asking myself..
what is the ultimate thing that God has restored for me in 2015?
Guess He just whispered the answer. :)

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 -_-
