It was good to have some time REALLY alone. I managed to do quite a bit.  Read chunks.  Jot down notes. Sleep. Eat. Be quiet. Mind Map.  Reorder research papers. Browse through books. Hope I won’t fall sick.  Somehow, I think I might have  caught a cold.  Must be the price rise for petrol. Good…

Elysia’s welcome really helped cushion the unpleasant experience of an overheated car on the way back from Ipoh! … The story is not over yet … but I wondered… why me?  why now? 😛 There are many sides to our children.  And Gareth showed a very compassionate side to his already frustrated and stressed out…

I love carrying Ewan, and I love looking at him.  He’s got this really cool look and meaty body! 🙂 It’s always great to share "moments" and experiences with Gareth and Elysia.  The wonder in their eyes, the curiosity in their questions and the fun we have talking with people, … the total package is…

It’s been a while since I did my random thoughts series … I’m a little tired … in fact, I’m REALLY tired … But it was generally a good day.

I thought the Dumpling noodle would be a fitting supper meal.  But then to my surprise it was mediocre. But thanks to the friendly uncle who gave me a treat 🙂 The Ice Lemon tea was acceptable. Questions are always good.  And tonight I had some questions from a more Christian small group context, and…

This is a precious time. Everyone else is falling asleep quietly. Elysia just poked her head up next to me 🙂 She will slip into her dreams soon (hopefully!) The ambient music is vibrating … and I’m back with some random thoughts… Nice to be refreshed by a decent shower, the temperature for the room…
