journal: a little bridge

today was the first time I helped out in a singles connect event.
a simple lunch together really.. but a really amazing one.
we got like 8 ppl from our church and 12 from our friends church.
all indonesians and it was so fulfilling to see them connecting and got along so well.
everyone were so sporting.. woah.

one reason why i agreed to help making this event happens is because I love the idea of connecting good people.
good people who would have not met otherwise.
good people who are victims of nonsensical boundaries.

some people are just against this kind of stuff.
some think 'it is God who provides.. I don't have to do all these'.
that statement is partially right. but they totally miss the point.
and they plant false idea on their peers with such 'conviction'.

another reason why I am for this kind of stuff.
because there are people with genuine need and humility to admit that.

of course not everyone will hv positive thought about this.
as the saying goes.. even Cao2 (an infamous antagonist in three kingdoms) have friends.
vice versa.. there will be opponent even for the most noble idea.

but i am not trying to be of service to everyone..
i am an introvert who has limited social capacity.
all i ask of God is to use me as his channel to bless some people.
and I am glad that we did that today. I hope good things will come out of it.

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 -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
