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.

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 -_-
