Post-holiday brain loss

Yeah yeah. I know I promised to tell you guys more about the conference :) But this morning I had to stop my car engine and unlock the house twice coz I suddenly realised I'd forgotten first my briefcase and...

Favourite pic

This is my favourite pic from the 4 rolls of film I took in Bali. I call it "Puss-in-Boots gone wrong": The idea was to do a "Puss-in-Boots" (think Shrek 2), but somehow I turned out looking more menacing than...

EAGC, part I

I think I'm gonna stop worrying about writing a coherent & comprehensive account of the East Asia Graduates Conference. That's getting me nowhere and I just may end up NEVER writing about it! Okay. So I went there, not really...

EAGC, part II

Looking at my Bali photos, I realise that when I ask someone to help snap a photo of myself, most times it doesn't come out like I visualised or hoped it would. That's frustrating, because I start to think, "That's...

Camp dilemma

So my assistant church cell group leader announced an upcoming young adults camp. And I immediately wondered if I should go. Perhaps the phrasing's a little funny. Well, you see I just got back from a conference in Bali, and...

Gettin' giddy

Do I write waaaaay too much about singleness & relationships & love & marriage? Just checkin' ;) I'm feeling so giddy these days, not giddy like pening (dizzy), you know, but giddy like a giddy teenager. I swear my hormones...

And all that

There's this book I have (but haven't read) hilariously titled, I Kissed A Lot Of Frogs But The Prince Hasn't Come, by Kathleen Hardaway. Crosswalk.com recently published an interview with her, which I read with great interest coz it addresses...

Death visits

I received news yesterday afternoon that a hometown friend of mine passed away early yesterday morning (at about 3am) in a road accident. He was travelling out of state in an express bus when the driver lost control of the...

For love of books

Malaysians are now reading more, or at least that's what some people think. I mean, just coz people are buying more books, doesn't necessarily mean they're reading them. Take me, for example. Over the past 6 months, I've spent more...

O beautiful tree...

In Bali, between sightseeing, shopping, and conference sessions, here's what I was up to: Well, I have to practice my kissing skills somehow, don't I?!!   O tree, O tree, what art thou to me? I clasp thee -- verily,...

Sex talk

I've always thought that sex is a fact of life and that I should have no reason to be ashamed of talking about it. But for the longest time, I still felt vaguely naughty when I did talk about it,...

For want of a coin

Yesterday, I was in MPH 1Utama when I remembered something that had happened the day before. You see, the day before, I'd been in the same MPH outlet. (Other people go clubbing for recreation; I hang out in bookshops. I...

Buying into the yuppie lifestyle

I can't believe it. I joined a gym! I'm becoming a yuppie! Arrrgh! How did this happen? Well, I was walking around 1Utama shopping centre when Messy Christian, who was with me, stopped to admire the pictures on the gym...

Water baptism

Yesterday I woke up with a runny nose, sore throat, sexy hoarse voice -- why is it when that happens I'm never in a condition to enjoy it? -- and decided to scrap plans to attend Bangsar Lutheran Church (hereinafter...

Birthday thots

I turn 26 today. Funny, isn't it, how one day is supposed to be more momentous than the others but still feels just the same? :) I woke up today and my first thought was, wow, it's good to be...

And it was GOOD!

I had a really good time last night, first at my church's cell group meeting and then at home. My cell group was having "games night", playing games instead of having the usual sharing/discussion/study stuff, so it was fun, and...

Sacrifice

Twice this week I've been "inconvenienced" (for lack of a better word) -- each time by a different person. Both times I decided to keep quiet and not say anything to the person concerned about the difficulties their actions/decisions caused...

Domesticity

Yesterday Lady Snoflek and I visited friends, a couple who've just had their first child. (No, not Loopy Meals, lol!) It was our first time in their home ever since their marriage two years ago. We stepped foot into a...
