a night in surabaya

in life, in games, in wars...
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
we go from battle to battle in life.
and at any given time, the only battle that matters is the one ahead of us.

i once read a gem titled 'the present',
written by the author of 'who moved my cheese'.
which is another gem everyone should read I think.

the message of the book is simple.
the importance of being 'in the present', no matter what season of life you are at.

no matter how bad or great your yesterday was,
or how exciting or frightening your tomorrow seem to be.
nothing matters more than to be in the present.

that kind of discipline takes years and years to master.
still learning.. keep failing..

but it does help when you are sitting in front of your laptop,
inside a cosy and spacious JW Marriott hotel room.
feels like staycation. though I am here only for a friend's wedding.

in less than a week, attended two weddings in JW Marriott hotels..
One in Jakarta and one in Surabaya.
Must say that I find the Surabaya's one slightly better.

and Surabayan certainly seem to be more enthusiastic than us the Jakartans, when it comes to dressing up for this kind of event.
so yeah.. to borrow dian's words, plenty of eye candies.

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...
