Random Thoughts on a Quiet evening
It’s quiet now … Traffic jams in KL nowadays are starting to drive me nuts. But then again, it has always been driving me nuts. some days more than others. Posting “The Easter Kemunting Holiday” pictures has been therapeutic and is an exercise to suspend time a little longer or learn to re-live moments which…
The Easter Kemunting Holiday 2.5
I’m always fascinated by the “wonder” shown in a child … and Gareth helps me a lot whenever I tempted to lose this “wonder”. Our trip was full of surprises, one of them was meeting up with the Wong family who happened to be in Cameron for a holiday too! Then we also bumped into…

Easter 1.9: What Does It Mean To Be Born Again?
John 3:1 – 8 Nicodemus was a closet disciple. He seeks Jesus out, though surreptitiously in the dead of the night. Why? Nicodemus is a “leader of the Jews”, “a teacher of Israel” (3:10), and a member of the religious party most opposed to the teaching of Jesus. In fact, in John 12, the summary…
