Dearest Self, You are constantly badgered by the past and anxious about the future. Faith is not faith unless it trusts, and trust can be practiced by learning to live in the Here and Now. Every episode has a purpose, and know that even in the darkest hours, God is with you and loving you. […]

A Song For Travellers
The Journey – Lea Salonga Half the world is sleeping, Half the world’s awake Half can hear their hearts beat Half just hear them break I am but a traveller, in most every way Ask me what you want…to know What a journey it has been And the end is not in sight But the […]
Rain
Into every life, a little rain must fall. Sometimes it may be a drizzle. Sometimes it may be a thunderstorm. Or sometimes, it may be one of those rare sun-showers. I’d never particularly liked or disliked rain before…although I have some fond memories of super rainy days in secondary school days…such as the time my […]
Peace
I arrived someplace today. And when I did, I found an unexpected gift. Peace. Once again, God showed me that His ways are more wondrous and mysterious than I could ever imagine…and that when He gives, He is truly extravagant! The road goes on, but there is a spring in my step that hadn’t been […]
"It's all YOUR fault"
12:50p.m. My handphone rings. I pick it up. “I can’t sleep. So you must talk to make me sleepy.” I begin to speak, but get interrupted. “And can you don’t be too interesting? For once in your life, can you try to be boring? Cos I want to sleep.” I laugh. “How can you laugh? […]

Chance
Part I: Chatting with a complete stranger Such interesting things can happen here. I was at Second Cup this afternoon, quietly journaling in a corner. A rather large group came in and sat in the empty seats at the back. There was a guy that kept going to the backdoor to look at some tree-rats […]
Something New, Something Good
Today was another long and supremely ‘busy’ (activity-wise) day. Activities included dim-sum, an afternoon of karaoke, and a dinner with friends. Some discoveries made during the course of the afternoon: 1) I live with THE Mandarin-Pop Princess (had always known WT had a good voice from her singing in the shower, but give her a […]
Old & New
A pictorial representation of how I feel today It’s been a long and eventful day. A full afternoon of committee meetings, and an entire evening of company. I think a lot was done today. Certainly I haven’t been around so many people in such a small space for some time. I had looked forward to […]
Casa Loma
After eight years in Toronto, I finally decided to go and visit Casa Loma. How was it? Eh… I don’t really feel it was worth $12. Maybe I was not exactly impressed because I’ve visited grander castles and palaces in Europe. And the garden wasn’t yet in full bloom. Perhaps the fact that I wasn’t […]
