Underestimating God

I am tremendously blessed to be at the right place (Singapore) at the right time (25/07/09) for theZone 09 youth conference.

Problems wont let go of you, you let go of them… and believe
I’ve been in Singapore for over a week and its been awesome. I attended GenRev service for the very first time and attended what I believe to be one of the BEST services of the year [...]

Worried No More

” …how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.”
- Makoto Shinkai, 5 centimeters per second

I am was worried that somehow we would drift apart, into our separate ways. The past months were better than awesome because of you, but its no longer May and we’re no longer in Switzerland.
I know my [...]

Take a Breather

In the midst of
endeavouring to complete that 12,000 word document,
attempting to pack 40+ kg of luggage into 2 suitcases,
planning for the awesome times ahead with Jie in Singapore,
and trying to make sense of it all…
I’m losing my appetite, my sleep, my focus.
My thoughts are everywhere…
Family, Jie, Birthday, Singapore, Church, Dissertation…
*Take A Breather*

Homeward Bound

The semester’s been over for half a week now, and it ended with a HUGE bang!
Jie received her much deserved honours and best academic award, and for whatever reason I am still extremely thrilled for her.
I’m sitting on a reclining chair in a 600 Euro per week apartment. The place is awesome but not so [...]

Love Thy Neighbour

This seemingly sudden passion towards Singapore has in fact been growing over the last 3 years. Yes, the mobtv shows, the food, the relatives, the blogs, [...]

Simply Blessed

I received my parcel of “Assorted Gifts” (dried instant noodles + adapter) yesterday, and was I thrilled to find the book Simply This~Simply His.
It all began when JZ announced the book launch on his blog. It would have been my greatest pleasure to attend the launch had it not for me being ‘quite far away’ [...]

The Next Semester

The next semester starts tomorrow, cant wait!

Its 164 days and counting to ‘Makanfest’ – my unofficial makan trip, eating whatever I find, wherever I am. 
In the meantime I’ve been enjoying my new, larger room complete with (hopeless) Wi-fi and telephone all by myself for the past 5 days. I love the solitude. The roommate isn’t [...]

Is Botak Jones Really Botak?

With my sis’ recent trip to Singapore, I’m reminded once again of that awesome week in Feb. Apart from Church, Botak Jones was among the highlights of the trip! Not that it was the best meal ever or the fullest meal I’ve ever had, I just really like this whole ‘Damn Good Food at a [...]
