I survived last week! Thanks to the Pantocrator (Greek “Παντοκρατορ”) literally means “Lord (or master) of Everything (the universe)”! It was a great chance to introduce this amazing Eastern Orthodox Icon linking it to the text I used for the message yesterday, 2 Corinthians 4:3-6. ” If the Good News we preach is veiled from…

It’s wonderful to see Rev. Dr. Richard A. Jensen again and this time with his wife Rev. Dr. Bonnie Jensen. His classes on preaching a number of years ago before my ordination I think, and the three books he gave me (which he was the author) really helped me along the way. Most of all…

I really found this temporary work space I have (in the picture above) to be pretty inspirational the last two days … perhaps it’s the new surroundings, perhaps it’s the air-con (which works better than the one in the thinking room), perhaps it’s just being in our worship hall which we call the Living room…

wow the Chinese New year celebrations went by very fast. we didn’t have anything special last night. Oh … maybe we did .. the dinner was good and it’s great to see Gareth enjoy his pasta and Elysia munching her garlic bread. We had some fun getting some groceries too … May Chin was busy…

Workin on and tweaking my new Second Thoughts site has been quite a learning experience. I chose green mainly because it’s May Chin’s favorite colour! When I’m trying to help re-frame a question or issues at hand I struggle to convey that I’m not saying the original question is stupid or not worthy to be…

right now I’m smiling and feeling happy like Elysia & Gareth in the above picture I took last week. Why? because thanks to a Mr. C.K. (the Miracle man!) he managed somehow to make my “faulty-corrupted-condemned” previous notebook hard drive disk come back alive and he & I could access precious data – articles I’ve…

Nice to have the reunion dinner outside for a change. Both of our mums then didn’t have to cook which they have done for years. It was good for the families to get together even though it’s a small gathering. Good to be plunging backinto blogsphere .. making my return. The DSL line is doing…

Had a very painful and difficult morning today. Now a little better … Kyrie Eleison… On a happier note, I’ve at least started intentionally working on my first module for my masters 🙂 Had a good talk with Dr. Philip Siew who will be the sage to keep me on track. he was kind enough…

For once I think I ended the year and started it by being a good boy and used the voucher for my blood test, urine test and ECG test. wow! I’m 175.7cm (did I grow 0.7cm?) but the weight is 76.7Kg. Someone told me that’s an ok weight but others have commented on my less…

It’s been a while since I’ve punched in some random thoughts. It’s the year of the FIFA World Cup at Germany. June and early July will have many sleepy people at work. I’ll probably wake up and watch some matches 🙂 Didn’t manage to do some stuff “I resolved” to do in the last week…
