You tell yourself it doesn't matter, but of course it does. It's always mattered. You've just never allowed it to matter, because you felt it would be petty. People have better things to do with their time. They're busy. They...
This is not a depressing post. I promise :) I love flowers. There's something about their fragile beauty that gets me every time. The shapes, the colours, the delicate details... I just feel awed every time I look at a...
I've been a busy bee. I finally, FINALLY updated my photoblog! (Anybody fainted yet?) I put in photos from my Chinese New Year trip to Sabah and... err... pictures dating back to last Oct. Good grief. Yes, I am slow,...
Told my church cell group tonight that I went for counselling. The group leader said, "Why do you have to go for counselling? You're okay, what!" to which I replied, "I only look okay. Inside, I am not okay." HMMMM....
Mom read my blog today and found out about my bout of depression... and called. I was afraid she'd be hurt coz I told the Whole Wide World about it but hadn't mentioned a word to her. Truthfully, the last...
After all this time, I'm still wondering what it means to be in a relationship with God. Somebody told me once that using a term like that can be misleading, especially to people of other faiths, coz the word 'relationship'...
Two words: DURIAN CHEESECAKE. Seriously. Ten dollars a slice, but worth it if you are durian-mad, like me ;) Every time I meet BP, there's food involved. BP even gave me a huge bar of chocolate today, revisiting this conversation...
"Jesus will disappoint you. Jesus will let you down." -- shocking words. Jarring words, to come from a preacher at the pulpit in church service on a Sunday morning. Aren't we always being told that God wants to bless us,...
Remember the writing job? Well, they are no longer impressed with my writing. *rueful smile* I recognize that you are not familiar with the manufacturing industry and I respect that you have your own style of writing. But most of...
Went caving today. It was a public holiday, the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Visited Gua Tempurung (Tempurung Caves). No pics coz we were told to expect to get wet and I didn't wanna risk my precious camera :P The caves are...
I painted my nails on Saturday. Really love the rich blue colour: Although in many ways I'm pretty conventional, I also don't like to be boring. And part of me likes to shock people. But I wouldn't do the blue...
For Maundy Thursday, today, I went to Bangsar Lutheran Church (BLC). We shared a "Christian Passover meal" (the Passover is a Jewish festival... Jesus celebrated it the night before He was crucified) and washed each other's feet, like how Jesus...
Sherman recently wrote a series of posts on "Friendship" and challenged me to not only write out what I think about them, but to conduct an open correspondence with him on the subject, on our respective blogs. Since his last...
He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man,though...
Sherman & I are conducting an open correspondence on the topic of "friendship". This is my response to his latest letter. Dear Sherman, When it comes to rediscovering and reclaiming the crucial element of friendship within the Christian community, of...
Funnily enough, I can't remember ever attending a Good Friday service. That changed this week, though. I went to church on Maundy Thursday for a Passover-style meal, attended Good Friday service at Bangsar Lutheran Church (BLC) and went to my...
Written March 15 but saved till the movie's run ended so there'd be no wories about spoilers :) A friend had free tickets to a screening of The New World, so we went last night. I was on tenterhooks for...
Sherman & I are conducting an open correspondence on the topic of "friendship". This is my response to his latest letter. Dear Sherman, On Sunday, the visiting preacher in church talked about the exact same thing you've just written to...
I tend to not handle pressure or stress very well. When too many things start crowding in and life starts getting a bit overwhelming, I start going into escapism mode. This means eating, shopping (retail therapy! Yeah!!!), and... reading romance...
At times I think we should be singing "Our God is a wasteful God" for he seems less concerned with efficiency than we are. Read this when I got up today. I could wish I lived in a world not...
Sherman & I are conducting an open correspondence on the topic of "friendship". This is my response to his latest letter. Dear Sherman, Sorry for the delay in replying... I've been feeling very tired lately, going through another bout of...
Trying to file income tax online and IT IS NOT WORKING. Despite the first six digits of my identity card proclaiming my date of birth, the Internal Revenue Board persists in thinking I'm below 18. Very flattered, dear sirs, in...
Checking in from Sherman's place while waiting to set off for camp. YAY! INTERNET!!! hahahaha Four days (well, more like three days, if you're counting actual hours) all by myself with just God for company was a good break. I...
