HOW DO YOU FEEL THIS CHRISTMAS?
The children are sitting on the floor checking out the presents and learning how to say “please” and share with each other what they have opened (including the presents for the parents!). May Chin is completing her masterpiece. I’ve had a cup of coffee … Anyway, here’s the piece I wrote for our church seasonal…
First Origami, Next …?
Gareth appreciated my basic origami attempts 🙂 I was intrigued how he liked this simple art. Next … one day it will be Asterix? 🙂 But that’s another kind of art … with it’s unique humor and adventure. There’s a lot that happened today. But I’m exhausted after a long day today … will try…
Back to Routines
[Driving back Home Video] One of the important routines after coming back is to be back on the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur. I’m still get stuck at the Kampung Pandan roundabout everytime I pick up Elysia from my mum’s place. The construction for the new roads are still in progress after one year (phew!)….
Karibu
[Karibu Video] Whenever I walked back to room 312 when I was in Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, the word “Karibu” greeted me (it means “welcome” in Kiswahili). I’ve been back more than a week now. The “karibu” from the Kit kids were all that I needed (and more than I expected).
“We” are all back!
I confess one of the things bugging me throughout my trip back is whether my checked-in luggage would arrive. The plane was delayed in Nuremburg and I had to slightly run to make sure I arrived with a decent time for Gate F3 in Amsterdam airport. And I knew the transit time was a little…
Vater Unser im Himmel
It’s almost 27 days away from home … 🙂 I’m back from a nice dinner with Thomas Paulsteiner, the East Asia representative and contact for Division for World Mission Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria (World Mission ELCB). The food was good (as usual) and the conversations helpful to slowly bring the whole time I’ve spent…
Amazing Alois
Alois Schwarz must be in Philipines right now as one of the speakers of the major Lutheran Church in the Philippines meeting. He was a fine host for me when I was in the Hof District and specifically in Tauperlitz last Friday until Sunday before I came near to Munich. I’m impressed with the website…
The Kurth Family
It’s hard to keep up with the events chronologically, so I decided to go with the flow. Time is ticking fast, the temperature is surprisingly warm for this autumn in Munich, the sun is shining bright right now. Manfred has been explaining to me how this climate probably is due to the warm air blown…
Zugspitze
[Quick View at Zugspitze video] At 2,962 m (9,718 feet), the Zugspitze was one place I’m glad I could visit today with Manfred Kurth as my guide (official website here). After being here for 22 Days around various places in Bavaria from North to South, finally I had a “REAL” initiation to winter weather at…
