The History of Punggek

Many has asked me this question "What is Punggek?" and to be honest, I never gave it a lot of thought.
But i remember my mother told me few years earlier that when I was small, I used to say the word a lot with my sister but the meaning it represent was not a good one. In the olden days, it was a taboo for kids to say bad words and we were brought up in a world where no bad word existed except the word "bad". We weren't even introduced to the word "beat" although we always got a good beating from our parents almost everday. So my mother told me that me and my sister created the word Punggek to fill the 'void' in our already limited volcabularly.

"I punggek you afterward!" is one of the example that would come out from our mean mouths. So the original meaning of Punggek is "beat". However, concerned with our creativity, my mother introduced us the the word "beat" and the word faded as suddenly as we invented it when.
But when i received a 'revelation' during SALT 1 in Brothers Bungalow to rejuvenate the word. Like in Genesis, when God breathed into Adams nostrils the breath of life, the word Punggek started to wake up in a totally different environment. Full of love, the word took another meaning in its second life.

Compassion.

Strength and Perseverance

Dear readers,

I apologize for my entry "Understanding Friend" dated 8th March 2011.

I was wrong. Needing someone IS a weakness.

It made me wither.

It broke me.

I was very very VERY wrong to try to find a friend that remains by my side. There are no such person. Its been 6-7 years already and I've found none of that nature.

Friends are only there when one is happy. I've been in-need for someone for 2 weeks. I gave 2 weeks to find some time to spend. Not 1 hour is free.

This is reality. As broken as you get, the more pain you will feel if you continue waiting...

...because there is NO HOPE!

Remain alone is the best way to survive.

No strings attached. No weak spot.

Suicidal is not a weakness.

It is a way out. When all strength is out and all perseverance is depleted, suicidal IS a way out.

Nothing is truly right or wrong.

There is only pain or comfort.

Need no one. NEED NO ONE!
