Yesterday was the last day of our Catholic Schools ‘Promo Run’ for Paul the Musical. We had eleven schools to cover in the east of Singapore, and it would have been impossible for one team to cover in an afternoon. As always, God provided, and our new full-time Pastoral Assistant at St. Mary’s volunteered to […]

God's love song
I woke up today feeling a little under the weather. My husband informs me with a smile that he has a meeting at MINDEF in the morning and can drop me off at the doorstep of my office. As I started work, I began to have a throbbing, splitting headache that grew steadily worse. My […]
The stars, a rainbow, and rain…
Recently many of the people I know are going through really tough times. Family members seriously ill or injured, on the brink of losing jobs, going through personal crises etc. But I think it’s wonderful how God shows His love for my friends through nature, and how they somehow feel this love even if they […]
Anything can happen
I haven’t shared the story of how I ended up being a full-time staff in my church, and with the main portfolio of being the ‘work plan secretary’ (the SAF term) of implementing the Roadmap vision across the various departments and communities in the parish. About 10 days ago, my mother saw an advert in […]
First Day at Work
I love my new job! It’s so cool that my boss would sit down with me to chat and listen to the ways I think I can help him with his plans for the church. At the end of the chat, I ended up with a completely new and different portfolio than the one I […]
Put to work
It’s official… starting tomorrow I’m going to be a full-time staff in my parish of St. Mary of the Angels. I’ve been recruited into the Catechist Office to help plan and implement the curriculum and program (from Pr 1 to Sec 4) and how to integrate it into the spiritual development of the parish at […]
animann to go public
My dear friends, I have decided that the time has come for my blog to go public. Through the last few years, this private space has been a nursery and haven for me to explore and grow in my writing and sharing, and it has been wonderful. As you can probably tell from the last […]
Now this is living
I remember sometime last year feeling envious of Ivy because she was so busy. Well, not because she was just busy – but because I felt she was busy with so much purpose. She is of course not the only one I know who is busy with work – but she stood out in that […]
Surpassing expectations
Today I had a lunch appointment with Assoc. Prof Ng Pak Tee (NIE), another one of my thesis committee members. The purpose was to tell him that I have decided to take a leave of absence from my PhD studies. I was not apprehensive at all as I knew that as a Christian himself, he […]
The Paul Team
Last night was the first general meeting of the Paul the Musical committee that I attended. It went on from 8p.m. to practically 11p.m. and when I left, the creative team and publicity team were still there. But I had a blast! I haven’t realized how much I missed working in a team. And such […]
