A Thursday and I am Battered

Quite many things has happened in the last few days, problem in office among them, and I think I have been disappointing, made mistakes I shouldn't have made but I am fighting back now, yes I am! Please remind me to keep on fighting, keep on going. God knows how weak I am on my own.. so please, carry me one more time, and fight alongside me one more time. Not giving up, don't give up on me.

Anyway, when I was doing the MyersBrigs (whatever the spelling) quiz, there was one question I wasn't sure of answering, whether I prefer to begin or to finish something. Now I know that I prefer to begin something. I find my interest wane as things are heading towards completion. That is really bad, especially when you are a software engineer, you just have to take care of all the details and possibility of errors and bugs etc, bleah... I find excitement in coming up with the big picture, in constructing the main structure of the software but I have problem in working on the details. Sigh.. Is there a job where you get paid for simply coming up with some vision or big picture of a project? And then someone else will carry out the implementation and all the detail job?

'Kay.. Still listening to Kerispatih's song.. that Lagu Rindu has been playing nontstop for quite a while. Sweet song. And I like the vocalist's voice.. I always want to have that kinda voice but I guess you just have to learn to love your own voice ya, take it or leave it kinda stuff.

World Cup is coming and as usual I don't support any particular national team. Well probably I would love to see Japan do well. They are in the same group as Brazil and I would love to see another heroic goalkeeping by Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi. I used to dislike football coz I thought it was just unbearable to sit in front of TV for 90 minutes or more just to wait for a goal. But watching Kawaguchi at his best is breathtaking.

If you read a comic called Shoot!, then you will probably realize that the writer was very much inspired by Japan's historic 1-0 win over Brazil in the Olympics game, 10 years ago I guess. Romario was playing for Brazil at that time and Japan was bombarded throughout. The Brazilian coach said after the match that Brazil were defeated by the Japanese goalkeeper, Kawaguchi. Inconsistency and occasional lapse of concentration are his major weaknesses but still.. it's always a joy to watch goalie with such lightning reflex. Kinda miss Kenji Shiraishi, that crazy Kakegawa goalie in Shoot!.. he is just nuts ^^

Too Wild at Heart?

Here.. is an essay written against John Eldgredge's controversial book, Wild At Heart. The essay is quite heavy on theology, but it certainly worths reading to balance ourselves if we were to read Eldredge's book. I believe Wild at Heart is one of the best books I have ever read but all the same, I always felt that it is also one of the most dangerous ones. John Eldredge is one of those blessed with talent to come up with words so powerful you will nod your head in agreement without digesting them, most of the times. And that's why I love the book so much. But I suppose Eldredge is only human. He, like many other servants of God, has the tendency to swing towards the extreme of his own belief that sometimes, they (or we) fall into this trap of 'creating God in our own image'. I believe that the essay in itself has flaws and my own opinion, definitely, also has flaws. Geez I am not even a Theologist. But ultimately, none of us has that complete wisdom to understand G

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
