I was born in a Christian family in a Moslem majority republic, and The Bible since than become my daily basis up to now. Yet, "number 9" nearly means something to me. My birth day 9th of September (9), & I am of my father's children also number 9 (all 12 from two moms) and I even got "Hole in One" in Gunung Geulis Golf Course & Country Club in a hole number 9 (from 36 holes all), 1995, etc. Isn't that means something to you, Oh ... sorry, me? No?!

(The Lord will never ever leave me)

 

C'est la vie, that's life,

I'm thinking 'bout life,

I'm thinking 'bout fate.

Nobody knows his destiny.

He keeps doing so and so 'till the end.

And yet at the moment,

he still believe some power

to control all events in his way.

My way ..., that cannot be resisted.

 

Said, every person is the maker of his own destiny.

I walked through the jungle,

I drove through the darkness,

I've been sailing thousands of sea miles,

from one remote island to another.

Alone, I did that alone.

I've been travellin' all over the globe.

I've been learning almost 'bout everything.

 

I think I good enough to pass every burrier,

that might arise,

that brought me almost destitute,

beam-'ends.

All the deeds that I've made,

finally come to something. To what its said courage,

self-determination 'cause suddenly

I'm determined to succeed,

I certainly believe I could,

Yes, I could, ..... if I would.

Tens of paintings, sculptures/wood carved, gazebo, had been made, and yet still many more to come.

 

Whatever your hand find to do, do it your might ! - Holly Bible.

 

"My Father gave me every thing I need. From top ranking student during childhood, prosperous, properties and cars, loving family, health, to ... soo ... so many achievements, etc. He also punished me when I was being so cocky through bankruptcy, became a poor man and addicted to drug, I totally broke-down (1999 !!!) but than He also gave me strength to comeback and eventually I survived, back on my feet again. I am a lucky one."

 

Two things I ask of thee;

deny them not to me before I die:

Remove far from me falsehood and lying;

give me neither poverty nor riches;

feed me with the food that is

needful for me,

lest I be full, and deny thee,

and say, "Who is the LORD?"

or lest I be poor, and steal,

and profane the name of my God. - Proverb 30 : 7-9.
