You are more than all I'll ever need
Earlier in the night, we saw our cousins off on the coach back to Ipoh. That marked the end of our fabulous 5 days together. It was a great time of bonding among us: all those walking around Jurong Bird Park and Marina Bay Sands (day 1), some more walking at Mount Faber and Vivo (day 2), more walking and shopping (!) at Bugis Street and watching DVDs (Case 39, Stardust and Ponyo) together (day 3),...

I once made a promise to an old woman who was very dear to me.
She was not my mother’s mother, nor was she my father’s mother. But I called her popo (maternal grandma in Cantonese) because she saw me grow up from a wailing baby to a teenage girl who wanted to care for her.
On my last visit to her just last month, I made a conscious effort to understand her needs and tried to be...

“Do we think no Muslims died in the towers?”
booklover206:
What did I think about the decision to construct a “mosque” this close to ground zero? I thought it was a no-brainer. Of course it should be built there. I sometimes wonder if those people fighting so passionately against Park51 can fathom the diversity of those who died at ground zero. Do we think no Muslims died in the...

Not having to lie to go for church camp is the most liberating thing ever. It feels like the whole family is rallying behind us and help us pack etc as though they are all for the God cause. We’re not there yet. But one day our family will go to church together. One day. We will.

As I continued the arduous challenge of packing my bookshelf and desk today, it dawned upon me that I take forever to clear the items because they all mean something to me. Each little note, every piece of work that I did well, I read them all over again today as I packed and then resolved to throw them away.
These things hold memories, but the physical forms don’t matter. I don’t...

Le baptéme du fer - The baptism of fire
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.
