“Learning by puzzlement …” that was the key point our facilitator Dr. Philipp Hauenstein tried to communicate to a bunch of people gathered from all over the world for this three week long summer school. I managed to google a paper written by him “‘Between Excitement and Culture Shock’ – Some Remarks on Intercultural Learning”…

A Long Walk …
At home in Malaysia we don’t walk that much. It’s usually in and out of the car, or the most to and fro the public transport points. Plus, the weather at home is hot and humid so it’s not too “conducive” I suppose. So when we were told we’ll be having a walk to our…
In touch
It’s so good to have WiFi access here. After spending some time chatting with May Chin and Gareth online really kept us “in touch” better (even though it’ll be nice to hear each others voice) For me, this Summer School was a much needed “sabbathical” and timely since it’s my 7th year in ministry after…
Random Thoughts before I Sleep
I just feel like putting up stuff I wanted to before I left from Malaysia for my little Sabbathical this month. So here goes … Roy Lim’s Religious Talk is a great post that is a great resource for my upcoming “How not to share the gospel” talk in one of the varsity Christian Fellowship….
Home … “A Little While”

Back home, often we just expect “inefficiency” in our transport system and then have complaints here and there. It’s been…
Random thoughts after Cambridge
when we arrived back at King’s cross station I couldn’t resist a “Harry Potter” landmark moment … hahaha! I miss my two loved ones tremendously. But the internet allows us to keep closer contact. The internet has also opened up relationships I could never imagined would happen. And today was enriching indeed to meet people…
Fantastic!
I love the way Jason Clark uses “Fantastic” with his British accent 🙂 and today it was quite an experience for me to meet him in person. Plus, Maggi Dawn is as I expected in that she has such insights and wisdom just like her blog. It will be an interesting to see how our…
Wonder Twins
God is gracious, the wonder twin girls here made the long wait shorter!
Cost of Living
I’ll miss this “Kanchil” for “just a little while” because I do need to “leave it behind” (two U2 tunes running in my mind when I keyed in the last phrase!) The first time I seriously thought of the cost of living was when as pastors we were given a COLA (i.e. Cost of Living…
