Hokkaido RFKC Trip Prayer Requests
Please pray that we will all be alert and careful to keep our focus on the Lord. We had experienced much opposition coming before the trip. Pray for us that: the door may be opened for us to share the gospel clearly and relevant for the special children there. We are not primarily there for [...]
Thinking about Death
Yesterday in Vic’s room i picked up “Tuesday with Morris” and started reading. An old and dying professor shares with his young grad student his journey of facing death and taught him how to live life differently— by knowing how he wants to die. A few weeks back we watched a Japanese movie titled “Departures”. [...]
Why should my single pursuit be to study and apply the Bible?
I’m simply penning some conclusions from my devotional readings this morning.

What is real success?
Sitting around having a designer’s block may not be a bad thing. I may not meet my deadline of producing the brochure draft on time, but you may end up with unexpected benefits. While I was just randomly reading on some of my favourites, an ad for JP Moreland’s new book caught my eye. That [...]

First post in 2009: The site is back up

Apple Crumble tops the day!
Follow up from the earlier post: after the retreat time we celebrated our one month with a Kopitiam dinner of my new favourite food Masala Thosai, and Candy’s Qiulian Banmian’s Kou Rou noodles. Truly amazing. We adjourned to Swensen’s for our reward of the day: Apple Crumble. To commemorate, we took seven or eight shots [...]
We got married today!
Thank you God, and all those who helped. We can’t thank everybody enough!
