I noticed that the last two days I’ve two pretty good naps 🙂 It’s been a while since I’ve winked 80 times so soundly. There were sporadic interruptions, but the pleasure of waking up refreshed is a pleasure nonetheless. The two older kids Gareth and Elysia are doing well. They had their favorite chicken drumstick…

Random Thoughts at the start of the last week of 2010
This is one of the rare occasions when the background music as I blog is classical music. But then again, regardless of what my "modest" musical tastes are, it’s appropriate. It’s been a most meaningful Christmas for me. The Christmas Day celebration at Bangsar Lutheran Church was simple and significant with all the "vintage" BLC…
Random Thoughts before I pick up two suitcases
It’s great to have Ewan leaning behind me. I like the closeness. The Intimacy. I’m also testing out for the first time the “Full screen†function in the Microsoft Office for Mac in Word. I like it. It totally blocks out distractions. Had a tough moment trying to handle the tensions at home between the…
Random Thoughts while I’m home alone on a Sunday Night
Lunch was good today. First, it was the company that made a difference. It’s always good to have an "old" friend visiting from afar. Thanks Ian for dropping by and also paying a visit to my father in law, as well as the family. I confess I do miss the more structured once a month…
Random Thoughts after resettling back to Malaysian soil and time
One of the unforgettable moments for me was when Gareth and Elysia dashed to me when I opened the door upon arrival last Saturday. It was one of the those "it’s great to be a father" moments, especially when both of them didn’t want to let me go and hugged themselves around my legs! Ewan…
Random Thoughts while listening to Rend Collective Experiment with Ewan
I’m going to miss the easy access to local Malaysian drinks. It’s funny how food and drinks trigger memories, and ground us back to home realities. It’s funny how the cup and the drink even with it’s contradictions merge with ease. Family time was pleasant last night with a number of regular hiccups. It’s quite…
Random Thoughts through the learning curve blogging through Blogo
There seems to be some bugs I need to figure out in due time. I like the full screen no distraction function right now. Oh yes, I’m trying out Blogo. It’s helpful in getting me back to blogging, that’s for sure 😉 * * *The behind the scenes preparations for another Friends in Conversation event…
Random Thoughts while exploring a new blog writer
This is a trial run. I still miss the WYSIWYG Windows Live Writer. But anyway, I’m in the season of change anyway. One thing is the sure I have not been able to get back to blogging regularly as before. Twitter has changed that. Project 365 has changed that. Haven’t even done any Random Links…
Random Thoughts before another interesting day :-)
It’s a new day. It’s a new season. It’s unprecedented. It’s needed. I feel good because finally I got the answer for what is the next phase for me personally and for the family. It’s been a long wait from April until September. Slightly more than 4 months, and there’s another at least 3 months…
Random Thoughts with a couple of blank pages in front of me
It’s been another one of those unexpected full weeks just when I thought I could take it a little easier. Our lives aren’t always moving the way we expect it to. Too many other variables feed into our timetables. Being soaked in the arts and literary creativity was so refreshing. Just what I needed at…
