Sometimes I feel like I’m living on the edge more than I want to. It can be exciting especially when it’s at the level of intellectual engagement or imaginative explorations. But it can also demand more energy than one is able to generate in the environment we live and breath in. It’s sad to “feel”…

Random Thoughts with the Morning Sun shining on My Left.
I can’t remember how many guitar picks I’ve lost through the years. I’ve misplaced the one’s I’ve borrowed from friends too. The one above is one I can’t lose 🙂 When I saw it I thought, “Wow!” Thanks Eric Y for the gift .. a pleasant surprise. When we are forgetting things too often, it’s…
Random Thoughts at the Pilgrim Zone (and later in the afternoon!)
It’s painful to see friends go through hell … I wonder where do we hang our faith on. Is it on specific doctrines or teachings or even opinions? or is our faith truly in God, or more specifically in Christ? This will be occupying my mind before this Sunday’s message on “Sola Fide”. It’s an…
Song of Grace
GOD OF THE GOOD NEWS, in the fullness of my life, empty me of distractions. Still my busyness. Quiet my chatter. Sing your song of grace to me until the tune rings in the core of my being and my life resonates with your good news. – Alive Now (via Upper Room Daily Reflections) It’s…
Examen Interlude: Even I get surprises …
Thanks to all who caught me in my most human form and position – i.e. with my singlet sitting on my son’s bed crossed legged trying to chat with someone on google talk! It was a pleasant surprise… I was totally unprepared .. ok , I did blush but perhaps it’s hard to tell since…
Random Thoughts before the clock strikes 12
As the biological clock ticks on, the energy levels to deal with multiple reactions decrease. I was told I gave an impression to them that I’m very high tech and trendy when it comes to technology. Then when they noticed my mobile phone, they said they were surprised how low tech and not trendy I…
Random Thoughts on Monday evening
Elysia gave me this funny little grin .. whenever she could escape my grasp … and run free … and she sure enjoys running free. This makes the security measures for a father more complicated. I need to be alert because … whoosh! There she goes … As parents, May Chin and I continue to…
Random Thoughts after the Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-Together
I was there … and it was good … it was necessary. Haris has given a quick recap here: Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-together : The Real Thing. I must confess I almost didn’t make it. But the “humble powers of the committee” allowed me to sneak in at the last moment. There were many thoughts…
Random Thoughts before a pretty interesting weekend
Sometimes we may feel we are small, until someone notices us and gives us some attention. The rhythm of blogging is re-emerging … the lack of blogging can signify more is happening outside the notebook or I really don’t have anything to say. But then, again … my “reflection” mode is my default mode. So,…
Random Thoughts while waiting …
I’m blogging from the church PC right now… the picture above I think was taken last year. My mind has been a little too preoccupied with thoughts, reflections and controversy the past week. My frustration is always when our energies tend to focus on the extremes of a particular subject and not working towards the…
