When I was at St. Nicks last week, I was pleased to see this banner with the verse from Micah 6:8. Somehow it felt really apt for a school that had “Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty” for its school motto. Depending on your translation of the Bible, the verse may be slightly different, but […]

Freedom from Connectedness with God
You will discover that the more love you can take in and hold on to, the less fearful you will become. You will speak more simply, more directly, and more freely about what is important to you, without fear of other people’s reactions. You will also use fewer words, trusting that you communicate your true […]
Words
I was reading an issue of Family: Good Living, Better Parenting magazine this morning while waiting for my mom at the NUS MRI Centre. There was a short article entitled ‘Speak Wisely’ which spoke about the power of positive affirmation in parenting. As you can expect, the overwhelming tendency is for parents to focus on […]
Deep Dark Secrets De-classified
Today during lunch I was reminded with a jolt that there was one person in this world who could, if he wanted to, blackmail me. Well, let’s just say that this person remembers things I did ages ago of which I have little recollection. John was in his story-telling element today, with Zibin, Cathy and […]

Fanfare Quiz
Would the apartment building you are staying in have a fanfare? Wing Kwong emailed out a link for the apartment building they will be renting come mid-August (right now they’re still staying in a service apt). I opened the link in a new tab and was taken aback when a fanfare resounded through my quiet […]
Visiting St. Nicks
Finally got to visit St. Nicks today. Ivy had wanted to bring Eric there to show him the school, and my ‘official’ role was to serve as the decoy for teachers. Of course that wasn’t what happened. It’s not like Ivy to leave me in the lurch, is it? :P We regaled Eric with tales […]

Travelogue VI: 'Double-boiling' in God's Love
…even after many years of education and formation, even after the good advice and counsel of many, I can still say with Dante, “In the middle of the way of our life I find myself in a dark wood.” This experience is frightful as well as exhilarating because it is the great experience of being […]
