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.

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...
