The above prawn dish was one of the best dishes I’ve tasted in any wedding dinner thus far. It was pure pleasure having it last Saturday at “Indiana” Joo and Renee’s wedding dinner! How time flies … and being at the wedding brought back some memories of the past when Seng Joo was still in…

I’m still “troubled” (to put it mildly) with an outright racist comment I heard today!!! A comment made by a so called “mature” Christian … I felt so ashamed … and still do (Lord have mercy 100times!). Had another long meeting today … some good news, some bad news (Thanks and help!). Sad to realize…

Well … I didn’t manage to sleep. And I didn’t read a book. I went to check some blogs. Google some websites. Only to discover how far removed I am from a “former life” or a “former world” which I’m still connected with loosely but not so directly involved. In many ways, I’m happy to…

I could feel the heat .. but when I saw 34 degrees celsius on the signboard when I was driving home in the afternoon. I thought wow .. this is hot! Happy to have some rain now and some time alone. Everyone is sleeping. I’m surprised I finished reading two books last week. One in…

Every morning has been bright and sunny since I’ve returned from Germany. The wedding and dinner last Saturday went on smoothly for Carmen and Joey. The drizzling rain stopped just in time with many of us stressed out and praying the “garden wedding” would make it 🙂 I woke up a couple of times last…

[The picture above was taken in April 8, 2005] exactly one month after Elysia was born … celebrating her “full moon”] How time flies … it’s been quite a while since we managed to have a family holiday trip away. The last time we wanted to go to Taiping … it didn’t work out because…

There’s no way to “hurry” centering … slowing down needs time. The right kind of music helps. I like the solitude right now. I need it. There will still be a little gap before another round of ministry. I need to improve on my manage my calender. But for now, I will honor my appointment…

I’ve been having loads of fun uploading some videos on YouTube. When I heard about a very intelligent person was on the way to visit a little young “Orang Asli” (Indigenous) boy who’s in hospital, my heart was greatly encouraged because then I knew she’s someone who’s not only has her head sorted out pretty…

Missionary/Missional Table and Missional Jargon Great stuff in progress … I like this (while recognizing as one who’s in an urban or more globalized context I can’t ignore western influences) and yet the following is good stuff to ponder: “Post-Colonial refers to the socio-political emotions and realities that countries are encountering as the world moves…
