piece by piece



Sid Mohede shared this and I went to watch.
Well.. it was emotional indeed.
I believe her first song that got her famous had something to do with her dad too.
And now she is back with another powerful song.
Now with the story of how her husband has restored her faith in man.
Man as a husband and man as a father.
And ultimately, man as a man.

But if you know me well, you know what I will ask.
How? how do you know? That this new man will not fail?
Yet for people like her, I really really really pray that she does not get hurt twice.
I can't imagine that.
Well maybe I can.
And precisely because I know, maybe.. that I pray for her marriage.

Been thinking too..
There was a time when I was in a relationship with someone who came from..
what I would call.. an ideal family.
Well they sure have their share of problems and disagreements but really..
no drama no scandal no skeleton in the cupboard. Just loving bunch of people in her home.

I realised then that we had a very different idea of relationship.
of what it means to fight for something. of what it means to fail, to make mistake,
and to try patching things up.. piece by piece.
and certainly she wasn't in any capacity to do what Kelly's husband did.
not that it was her responsibility, it seems.

So while Kelly had a man who came to her (not sure how his family background was) and restored her faith piece by piece..
I wonder who would come to a man version of Kelly and restored his faith in man.
maybe for a man.. he just have to wrestle with dark past.
maybe like Jacob.. he just have to wrestle with God.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
