Life of Mr W....

source of picture: internet


Met a friend today yang terjumpa sama-sama masuk kedai and shared the same table for a drink. He is a friend of my friend Mr.T, that I just met for about 45 minutes (maybe less than an hour). I couldn't even recall his name. We shake hand and chat just like normal group of best friends chatting. It happened so fast that I have this "so-called moment of sharing" time with this guy when my other friend, Mr.T need to go out for a while to re-park his car because we parked only behind others car (was thinking at first that we will not stay long for a drink in the coffee house). Let call this friend of Mr.T as Mr.W.... the name wilfred came across my mind when i tried to recall his name....

When Mr.T walk out the coffee house, I totally lost of topics to chat with Mr. W. We are not that close and I just don't know what to talk about. To brake the moment of "angels passing by" a.k.a suddenly both are silence, Mr. W starts the conversation that start with "Apa kerja ko sekarang?". I answered the question and then he ask again. "Masih bujang lagi neh kan?". As usual, I just shake my head up and down and smile. Then Mr.W asked again "Bagus juga tu bujang. Senang mau explore dunia neh. Mmg besar neh dunia..siok kalau dapat pergi bnyk tempat."...And again I just smile and ask him back the same question as above...Nah, here the story starts. This is his answer. "saya kerja sendiri. Kecil-kecil jak", "saya pernah kawen tapi skrg suda divorce..panjang tu cerita.ko pun tidak akan mau dngr tu" and the last answer was "sy baru balik dari UK. Ada hal sikit sana. Minggu lepas di China".

At first, when I heard the "UK" and "China" mentioned, I thought that this guy is really showing off...Annoyed but then, after a period of "ques and answers" time, I'm getting interested with this ambitious guy (only the part on how he stood up after the fallen and the part of how he started to choose the main priority in his life). Sometimes, he does sound "showing-off" , proud of him-self and ada juga la "kata-kata besar" but I just ignore them. His story of "The Rise Of Mr.W" attracted me the most.I felt motivated knowing that there is a real person that really stood up fighting back for his life. Hermm..he is only 31 yrs old, owned a company, traveled overseas and domestic like almost of the day in a week and he used to be the "tidak-guna-punya-laki" (called by his ex-wife) because of unsuccessful business he planned <---itu yang dia cerita la...I laugh so loud when he mocked the way his wife saying "tia guna punya laki!" (with action of fingers)..Sorry for that dude. I laugh when you yourself make fun of your own story..don't get me wrong.by the way, he laughed too...Because of that, the wife left him (asked for divorce) and he return back to his family house.

Luckly for Mr.W, his father and mother are very supportive parent, that they help him financially to start a new business and things went well and he is now handling the company in his age of 30s'. wowww.... another man that I envy. I think Mr.W is very lucky person, eventhough he did babble about how tough is his life he had been through. In some of his words I think he is "complaining" about how bad is the world treating him. This was his last question when all our so-called moment of sharing ended when my friend Mr.T are back to our table..."semua kita ada kelemahan. Kita harus tau kelemahan kita supaya dapat kita baiki dan jadikan sebagai satu bahan yg akan membanggakan kita sendiri..so,what is your next step of life?"...hemm..maybe that is just his style of talking. It's a good question thou.But, when he ask this question, he do really sound like "I am the only the great man who had step on my next level of life and I succeeded when no one else could if they are facing the same thing as mine. Mine is worst and no other man have faced the worst than my journey of life"

Nahhh...if only I have more time with this guy, I will make him realize that the world has treated him a V.I.P service. He shouldn't complaint that much and shouldn't feel regretted. He has fallen down the valley to deep down the sea, and trapped on the fishing net, been brought up back alive on the land and now living life with prosperity. You are very lucky dude compare to others.. It has been nearly 30 years for me and I never felt that I get the things that I work for. I grab whatever come first in my life to survive but then regretted because I never have the chance to sit and wait for other options besides the first one that I choose. I just couldn't understand why should I still feel regretted when I did it to live.hahaha....Mr.W, you should travel more to see how other people struggling in their life. Some are willing to do anything for a slice of bread when you just throw the whole bread when a flies land on edge of your bread on your table. I know that I should, day by day, force myself to believe that in any circumstances, I should be thankful for every single second that I have been through (succeeded or not, lucky or not, I must and should say 'thank you'). Feeling blessed, as if not by HIS grace, I will not be the one as who I am now.

Thank You Lord Jesus...
