Sometime ago I was talking to a friend who's about a generation older than I. We were talking about church when she told me about a small Presbyterian church quite near my place. "But it's very small," she warned me...
On behalf of my kindred spirit Ariel, who's helping a friend out: Would any of you guys happen to know a Jonathan Yap who was born in 1979 and was staying in SS2, Petaling Jaya in 1997? If you do,...
Over the weekend, I discovered that apple cider is one of those things that sound absolutely tempting and mysteriously delicious in books, but turn out to be extremely disappointing in reality. I also discovered that eggnog tastes -- to me,...
Over the past month or so, I've been "exploring possibilities" with someone who was introduced to me by one of my aunts. I didn't write about it here because it was private and involved someone else besides me (namely, him!)....
I don't have terribly many childhood memories of food -- or not that I remember, anyway. As a child I didn't like to eat much and would frequently announce that I was full half-way during dinner. I also took so...
I can't remember whether I've ever written about this before, but I have a terrible memory when it comes to people. For some reason, people ALWAYS seem to remember me, and I, err, well... quite often don't remember them. *blushes*...
Christmas is coming. That means evangelistic events are coming. You know, like drama productions and stuff. And "home e" (evangelistic programmes carried out within individual cell groups). Well... I've never felt comfortable inviting people for drama productions or "home e"...
I played Christmas songs on my office computer all day yesterday in an effort to get myself into the Christmas mood. It didn't work. But I'm leading worship at my cell group's evangelistic Christmas party tomorrow and I NEED to...
I saw The Chronicles of Narnia last night. Am glad I went to see it -- I wasn't sure if I would, coz the trailer irritated me intensely every time I had the misfortune to catch sight of it. I...
My day started out quite badly. I woke up still tired, and for some reason feeling unhappy. It's been one of those days then life just feels too overwhelming. On my way to work, I told God I feel like...
I learnt something about myself yesterday. If I call a friend up coz I need to talk to someone, or need to rant, I always start the conversation by asking how they are. I need to feel that I'm not...
When you find yourself hiding in the office washroom and bawling your eyes out for no apparent reason, you know that's not a good sign....
For all that I sometimes complain my family drives me crazy, I do love them lots. It's one of those things where, you know, I might grouse about them all I want, but if anybody else were to try to...
Mom sent her first ever email last week. Now it's only a matter of time before she reads this blog (especially since I've never hidden the fact that I have a blog!). Err... uh... well, I just wonder what she'll...
I was supposed to start off the day by having breakfast with a friend, but she called up last night to cancel, so I got to sleep in. Good thing, too -- I needed the extra rest, coz I had...
I had dinner with my assistant cell group leader last week and told her that I've almost decided to leave our church for Christian Life Gospel Center. The wrench is not in leaving the church itself, but in leaving my...
My office held a potluck Christmas lunch & gift exchange today. Look what I got: Apparently somebody must've noticed that I seem very stressed lately! We didn't reveal who was the giver of each gift, so I have no idea...
I realised recently that I mostly buy stuff coz I like to have the option of using them if I ever want to. I like having the option of wearing different kinds of shoes with different outfits, using different kinds...
Bob said my blog has been "positively dreary" over the past two months. All I can say is, it's been a rough time and adjusting to the new job is proving more difficult than I'd anticipated. If you want light...
Two nights ago, during cell group meeting, as usual we discussed pastor's Sunday sermon. I hadn't gone to church the previous weekend (surprised, anybody?) so I got to hear the summary of the sermon from what the others shared. Apparently,...
I hope all of you guys had a joyful, meaningful & fun Christmas :) Man, I did more partying this year than I have in all my previous Christmases combined. After counting, I figure I've attended six Christmas parties --...
Yes, yes. A more serious post. Christmas isn't supposed to be all about partying. Okay. *ahem* *puts on serious face* I went to SIB KL for church service this morning with a friend. If this friend hadn't invited me, I'm...
Earlier, I said 2005 has seemed to stretch forever. This year has felt like "the year for things to happen". So much stuff has taken place and in some ways, this has been a pretty difficult year for me. Started...
If you know someone who is family friend, church member, and mechanic all in one, he may open up his workshop at 8:45pm to wheel your car in so he'll be able to work on your car first thing the...
Yesterday I had a major breakdown: I cried on & off throughout the day while sitting at my office desk, cried on the bus home, reached home and cried on my housemate's shoulder. Today, I tendered my resignation. I'd already...
I had a very meaningful New Year's Eve. Two of my housemates and I, plus two other friends, gathered at my house; after dinner and games, we each took turns telling the others about the highs & lows we'd experienced...
