This is one of the rare occasions when the background music as I blog is classical music. But then again, regardless of what my "modest" musical tastes are, it’s appropriate. It’s been a most meaningful Christmas for me. The Christmas Day celebration at Bangsar Lutheran Church was simple and significant with all the "vintage" BLC…

Random Thoughts before one more final denominational assignment?
I’m still intrigued, amazed and grateful that I managed to survive serving in a number of ecclesiastical positions in my tribe (i.e. denomination: The Lutheran Church in Malaysia & Singapore) the last 10 years. The two main portfolios I held as the Education Committee Chairman, and the Dean of the Kuala Lumpur district. I’ve also…
Random Thoughts before I start packing again
So Bangsar Lutheran Church became an organized congregation within the Lutheran Church in Malaysia & Singapore tribe in 2001. That’s about one year after we got "resurrected" on 1 April 2000. How time flies! I look really thin in these old photos. standing next to me in blue is the current Bishop, Philip Lok. He…
Random Thoughts on a wet Thursday morning
Things are moving pretty fast. The clock is ticking. Books need to be relocated. Shelves must be moved. Some packing needed. Appointments will be lined up. Next week I will be more intentional about it. There’s still stuff which will crop up and we’ll deal with it as it comes. It’s funny how news traveled…
Random Thoughts in the middle of the week with a beautiful sunshine (again!)
Seeing the green emerge out of the rubble gives me hope. I think that’s the way God works. Life is often mostly experienced as rubble, stumble and tearing down. So, when there’s new life reemerging it breathes new energy to what might appear as a hopeless situation. Life is slowly returning to normal (if there…
Random Thoughts before I pick up two suitcases
It’s great to have Ewan leaning behind me. I like the closeness. The Intimacy. I’m also testing out for the first time the “Full screen†function in the Microsoft Office for Mac in Word. I like it. It totally blocks out distractions. Had a tough moment trying to handle the tensions at home between the…
Random Thoughts while I’m home alone on a Sunday Night
Lunch was good today. First, it was the company that made a difference. It’s always good to have an "old" friend visiting from afar. Thanks Ian for dropping by and also paying a visit to my father in law, as well as the family. I confess I do miss the more structured once a month…
Random Thoughts after resettling back to Malaysian soil and time
One of the unforgettable moments for me was when Gareth and Elysia dashed to me when I opened the door upon arrival last Saturday. It was one of the those "it’s great to be a father" moments, especially when both of them didn’t want to let me go and hugged themselves around my legs! Ewan…
Random Thoughts in the morning after Traditional Fish & Chips last night
Yes, Folks . I’m back in London after maybe 6 or 7 years? It was hard to resist as the first dinner dish Many thanks to a BLC angel who “swung” by and took me for a nice little walk around Leicester square too. Totally unplanned as in many little twists and turns in my…
Random Thoughts through the learning curve blogging through Blogo
There seems to be some bugs I need to figure out in due time. I like the full screen no distraction function right now. Oh yes, I’m trying out Blogo. It’s helpful in getting me back to blogging, that’s for sure 😉 * * *The behind the scenes preparations for another Friends in Conversation event…
