the castle matter

having observed how people generally go through their lives..
the years of being teenagers, being 20s, and then 30s, 40s, and so on..
I figure that the greatest challenge in life is to keep one's heart pure.

after so many disappointments, bitterness and betrayals..
it is almost impossible to remain pure. to believe in what we used to believe in our early 20s.
i can understand now why some parents can be so disillusioned with this thing called 'love'.

it doesn't help that I just found out that one of the most celebrated Christian singers has just announced his divorce.
it just goes to show that so many of us are clueless after all.
yes.. that includes those writers of relationship posts that went viral.

even as I look at my friends in their 30s now,
they have become so different from who they were 10 years ago.
and maybe I too.. have changed. at least recently.

there is that helpless romantic part that will never disappear entirely.
but it takes so much more now to reignite that.

my friend says there is so many fishes in this world.
i have to agree. well its nice to know that there are many interesting fishes out there.
and that certain eligible fishes happen to like you.
its a nice confidence boost and all.

but then something brings you back to that little corner.
where the helpless romantic side of you is hidden.
and you are back to square one.
the princess, the dragon, and the knight

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...
