It’s pretty frustrating when your email account is compromised and you have to reply to people apologizing for links that were never sent by you. The word for this morning’s FREEDOM movement is “Heart untroubled”. Thus, a good reminder last night to inhale and exhale and practice some spiritual breathing. Funny, because for me to…

Random Thoughts before 1am
The good part is there’s no football match. Next, I think I’m recovering from my flu. Third, I finished my article touched 4000 words. Not great, but let’s see. Try short spurts for a change! Got whacked. But then life’s full of them. The waiting is different but it’s still waiting! 😛 There are variety…
Random Thoughts while drinking Lemon Green Tea
It’s fun to slip into a semi solitude mode with the help of a set of ear phones. The short time I have now before meeting some friends is a much needed time to be alone. So much has been going on the past weeks. One word: overwhelming. Glad to survive thus far. Maybe barely…
Random Thoughts while listening to the same music over and over again
What do you do when you wobble? Try to get back into balance right? What do you do when you stumble or fall? Pick ourselves up again right? What if we can’t pick ourselves up? What if we can’t balance ourselves? It was interesting to hear the volunteer from Hospice Malaysia utter the simple exhortation,…
Random Thoughts during a Cool Morning
Waiting is such a strange discipline. It’s disarming because you are simply not in control. But we like to be in control, we want to set the pace for what we want to do. Charting sketches for an imaginable future is responsible. In fact, I’ve always been intrigued by our human ability to picture in…
Random Thoughts on “gifts”
The nature of a gift is unsettling. A gift cannot be forced, it can’t be pressured into receiving it. The power of a gift is in present tense. It can have a past element but that is a mere memory even nostalgia. If we think of it in the future, I wonder whether it’s a…
Random Thoughts before a memorial tonight
Life stops in the face of death. Our pilgrimage on earth takes a needed pause in the light of our mortality. That’s why I’m increasingly frustrated when I hear of news of people picking fights which ultimately is not about what’s eternal but centered on one’s ego. Worse is when this preoccupation of either a…
Random Thoughts with Ewan sitting on my lap before hospital visit
Once a while we have a chance to live in the air, we’re lifted up and look down with a fresh perspective. You don’t get that kind of view everyday, don’t you? But the fact is we’re not in the air but on the ground most of our days. It’s less transcendent, and most immanent. …
Random Thoughts in the midst of Bible Study in Sibu
The nice thing about being in a conference is the rhythm of a schedule. I don’t need to worry what is going to happen next. The conversations during the meal times are usually unexpected and interesting. So far, I found myself engaged in topics such as young adults today, the ups and downs of secondary…
Random Thoughts after a full stomach in Sibu
The landing was a little bumpy. But that’s life. Sometimes we get a great lift off and less than perfect landing. Other times we struggled to fly, and then glides smoothly to the ground. The air con is REALLY cold in this room. It’s a little funny to watch the World Cup football matches on…
