During times like this, we are tempted to use many words to present our feelings, arguments and suggestions. There was much already said and repeated with much vigor and clarity which does not need repeating. Media Rakyat’s post Forum: Abolish ISA has three clips. Standing Ovation for RPK and Marina Lee from Second Thoughts on…

Oh My God
I think I’ve put this song up before. But in the light of what I’m hearing around me, whether personally or in the public, maybe the lyrics might help some of us process the mess all round us and inside of us. Especially, when the frustrations and feelings of powerlessness builds up, and we seem…
The 9th Session General Conference, Methodist Church, Malaysia – Press Release
All my room mates in my four years of seminary confinement 🙂 were from the Methodist Church. One of them now have joined me in the Lutheran Church but that’s another story. It’s one of the bigger protestant denominations in Malaysia, maybe it’s second to the Roman Catholic Church. I’ll need to check that. Anyway,…
Random Links 289 (“I’m Disappointed” Malaysia Edition)
Hartal ISA on standby mode : RPK to Kamunting for 2 years! Have we misrepresented ourselves to RPK? Haris’ words are piercing but true . RPK exposes one scandal after another, and we urge him on. ‘Malaysia needs you, RPK’, ‘You are our hero, RPK’, ‘We salute you, RPK’. RPK does not pause to ask,…
My Vimeos
I’m testing out a widget for all my “vimeos”. It’s basically a mix of the things that capture my attention at church, at home and in the world. 🙂

It’s been tough, because when someone does not take responsibility it reflects a…
BLC Kids strike again …
BLC 8th Anniversary Children’s Presentation from Sivin Kit on Vimeo. I’m glad Gareth managed to do the whole presentation. He told me he wasn’t into dancing. He prefers drawing and reading. But after the anniversary event today, he mentioned he wouldn’t mind doing it back at The Father’s House (BLC Premises) 🙂 Elysia who’s the…
More than 8 years ago …
The photo is taken using my old Konica camera which I bought from my first seminary roommate. The date is 12 March 2000. And this is what the abandoned Father’s House and I looked like back then. Technically, we should be celebrating the rebirth of BLC every 1 April because that’s when we first gathered…
A Conversation About Evangelism
Most people confuse Evangelizing with Proselytizing, I think with some good re-thinking and re-framing helps nudge is forward from any form of misuse and abuse. “Evangelism happens in terms of interpersonal relations when the Holy Spirit quickens to faith. Through sharing the pains and joys of life, identifying with people, the Gospel is understood and…
Random Thoughts just after midnight
Had some coffee so I’m not sleeping yet, and yet strangely I do feel a little sleepy. Irony? I was told that I’ve been using the word “irregardless” when I should be saying “regardless”. Well, irregardless of what I have been saying, I might use it occasionally regardless. 🙂 for shock effect? or irritation? It’s…
