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…

Random Thoughts after a pretty High time in Ipoh and a Low time upon my return!
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…
Random Thoughts with Some Ribena!
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…
Random Thoughts after an extremely tiring day …
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. Met with two contractors to explore the upcoming renovation possibilities for our church premises. I realize more and more how much "possibilities" energize me. In…
Random Thoughts while Contemplating Supper …
I’m living one day at a time. One hour at a time. One second at a time. I miss swimming. Maybe I might have a chance to do that tomorrow. We’ll see. May Chin and I had an interesting conversation during dinner. In short, we pay tribute to those more senior and mature Christians who…
Random Thoughts after Fresh Air from Lutheran Mission Bungalow
I have always loved being at the Lutheran Mission Bungalow at Cameron Highlands. To Elysia that is "Cameron Highlands" .. every where else isn’t even thought geographically it’s accurate :-) In some ways, I tend to agree with our no.2. She has insights that I don’t have. Three days Two nights is a little too…
Random Thoughts before the Day fully begins
Doing History had been very enriching the past 3 weeks, but it’s Making History and seeing ourselves part of that process which is more exciting. Connecting the two dots – the doing and the making of history – and seeing the relation between them helps us to be anchored in daily realities and future possibilities….
Random Thoughts after a late dinner
Funny because after looking at this picture where I am trying to initiate Baby Ewan to the wonders of potato chips … my mouth is itching again. 🙂 The body is no longer able to push itself as it used to… and I sincerely believe in a more integrated holistic view of the human person. …
Random Thoughts after a Mediocre Supper
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…
Random Thoughts on Easter Monday Night
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…
