Hello, apparently I still get some traffic this way. I've started a joint blog with Fergs at These glorious days for a month now, so posting occurs over there.I haven't quite figured out what to do with this space, so for now I'm going to just let it stay quietly over here and dream.

Alright, this post was initially supposed to go up on the 31st. Really.Sunday, 1 March: EGM for our next building project. Despite the hefty price tag, the floor returned an overwhelming vote of approval and at that moment I was proud to belong to such a brave congregation.Saturday, 14 March: Launch of the building fund* and the Man U vs Liverpool match after that.

I admire couples who share so much of the same wavelength that they are able to produce this. The roll sticking out of her nose is "a rolled-up banknote, just in case I need to pay for something."I think that the phrase "soul mate" has a massive expectation of completeness attached to it, so this definition I stumbled upon makes a good point. Except the part about leaving.WEEDLHA!! I wish I had

Posting here has gotten real light lately. It's all pretty picture stuff. Time to change that around.So, Fergus took up the bible-in-a-year challenge his church launched. He's maintaining a somewhat daily journal to record his journey and because there are usually doodles involved, I read his entries. Naturally, I've started to read the corresponding Bible chapters for that day too.I’ve just

So I recently learned that you can carve your own rubber stamps out of erasers. A-ma-zing!! I've had a very short-lived flirtation with stamping before, but it got frustrating because I couldn't figure out how to produce consistent, even images and my stamps have been untouched ever since. But this looks fuss-free and besides, it'll be more fun to carve any motive I want instead of searching for

Clock from Dutch by design [Seen on tea for joy via design*sponge]In my head, I imagine this to be the centerpiece of a living room, and each frame will hold a highlight from its corresponding month - a doodle, photograph or small trinket. At the end of each year when each frame is filled, a photo is taken to commemorate that year and starting from January, each memento is replaced with a new one.

One day, I want my own space to grow plants. A small strip of ground or a few windowsills because I can't manage a large area. I've tried that with dismaying results before. But it's something I've always wanted to do, and a few gardening stories today has reignited this interest.It started with a gardening doodle by Andre Jordan from A beautiful revoltion.

this week has been a awful week. The weather is dreary, gloomy and depressing. Work has been difficult, several people have really tested my patience, the house hunt has yielded one heart-break already and I'm feeling bloated and distinctly premenstrual. I wish that I was making the last part up but I'm not; the boyfriend will probably vouch for that.Also, all the mess in my life is really

From World Market: "With the sides up it's a sofa. Fold one side down to form a chaise lounge. Put both sides down and it becomes a bed."I don't like sofas that are too deep (uncomfortable when you lean back while siting) or with armrests that are too high (uncomfortable if you sleep on the sofa and use the armrest as a pillow). I'd like my sofa to look versatile too - not too formal to curl up

The past month and a half has had several noteworthy events, ones that I've meant to review or commemorate with a blog post. But you know what? A list is easier. Uhuh.1. Helped to shoot and edit a short film titled Your son, Xavier with Fergs.2. Finally read Elie Wiesel's Night. It's sat on my shelf for over a year.3. Spent the Thaipusam weekend at the Avilion, PD. By far the best family holiday

Roughly two weeks back, Fergs and I agreed that we should watch what we eat just in the lead-up to CNY to sort of mitigate the gorge fest that will happen then. It worked for a while, and we even managed to squeeze in some exercise. Self-control 1, fat ass 0!However, a week ago my appetite suddenly went through an exponential, ferocious surge and I find myself thinking about snacking ALL THE TIME

So, the LIITA dust has settled and reports have been sent in. Now is the time for measurement and evaluation. After looking at the form we had to fill up, I realised that it wasn't comprehensive enough. With some inspiration and a few suggestions I've come up with a handy list to help measure the success of your LIITA event. Presenting:The SCL-Inspired LIITA score guide!Scoring of visitors

I am a sucky blogger. Besides that, here are 9 reasons (since it's 2009) why this page has remained stuck on LIITA for over 6 weeks.1. My computer ran out of ink.2. I had no transport.3.

That's our Christmas program in church this year. No big production with Chinese wise men and shiny dancers. Instead, it will be entirely cell-based and cell-driven! Now, this is to be taken seriously, because all the leaders got a 38-page file of program notes. On the first page, there's a note saying that the program has been adapted from Trinity Christian Center, Singapore with their

My favourite part of the year is its end. It's the time to be simultaneously outward and inward looking - there's a platform for you to celebrate and appreciate the people you love and reconnect with those whom you're usually too busy for, and also where you can contemplate your last 12 months and envision the next 12. Around this time too, there is also a mad rush as people realise that they to

I'll be away over the weekend till Monday afternoon, conducting a cross-cultural research project on a large group of relatively-unknown people in a strange environment. It was a good opportunity to study them up close, plus I managed to get a co-researcher to come along for company so I'm quite excited. Even though she's new to such field assignments, she's very game for such challenges, which

When a former rival manager comes out and calls your favourite footballer a diver, say:"He's just unhappy that he was coaching one of the most glamorous clubs in modern football and they sacked him and now he's managing in a league that nobody but Italians watch."Take that, Mr Mourinho!

I came across the fascinating story of an orphaned bear that was adopted by a company of Polish soldiers in Iran during WWII. As a cub, he clung to soldiers tightly as they travelled across vast distances. The soldiers would wrap him in their coats and woolen blankets and rock him to sleep around a campfire. And as he grew up, he also grew to love drinking beer and chewing cigarettes. Funnily,

I used to be skeptical about whether online shopping in Malaysia would have enough quality products to be of interest to me. However, this has been swiftly debunked by blogs I read and sites such as Tongue in Chic and Little Accompaniments.

Encounter by Fumi WatanabeI got to wander around Ikea two nights ago and in the picture frame section, I saw a print and thought, “Hmm, deer and swirly motives. That looks like what’s-his-name-Watanabe’s style!” I felt so clever when I checked the tag and it was correct. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it was to me.

Fergs and I usually converse on the drive to and from work, and every now and then chance dictates that a brilliant insight would be gleamed. Today was one such occasion. It started with me narrating a communication gap between my parents and I stumbled upon a controversial observation: men rarely communicate (or withhold communication) with the intention to frustrate, while women will resort to

I walked into this with free tickets and no idea what the movie was about, other than it features ABBA songs and Meryl Streep. Not planning to write a full review, lazily linking the NY Times instead.What I’d like to do is go on record to say that this might be the most fun I’ve had in a cinema, and if you watch it, it’s best not to take it too seriously.

I was asked about this twice by two friends all the way in Australia before lunch time. I've never heard of that site before, so it was a surprise. It feels a little like I'm being scrutinised now...Well, we were passing by on the way to move things out of Fergs' old apartment and instead spontaneously decided to drop by. No, I don't know what I was looking at and yes, Fergus looks like a kid.

About two weeks ago I very nearly bought this hand-carved, wooden white colt on Quiet Hours Toys for USD13.25 (not including postage). The store page has been open on a tab in my browser since then, but today I decided to close it and post its picture here instead. How dangerous roving online with a usable credit card can be!Yes, I have a weakness for tiny figurines. Sigh... This would have been

A board game session together can reveal a lot about a group's characteristics. So, after several rounds of Saboteur and a bit of Taboo with the cellies, here are my pseudo psycho-observations:(1) We talk about work too much. Someone suggested that we ban that topic for the rest of the night after our pizza dinner featured work-centered conversations. I think it's a good idea to continue with it

So The Geek came back from Sydney and bought a few bags of candy for the team. One of the bags had jelly beans. And one of the jelly bean flavours was liquorice. And when I ate it, I was immediately certain that it was the best thing I have ever put into my mouth.Now that tar-like concoction is divisive. It provokes, no, demands that a stand be made. Rarely are there cross-overs between the two

Not me, but the first film festival submission for RSD. It felt too easy, filling in the PosLaju form and then lining up to get it weighed and stamped and then it was gone. I wanted to tell the lady at the counter be careful, make sure it doesn't fall out of the carrier box or get lost among the packages, this is a very important envelope and we cannot resend it.

Hello, I'm back. You could imagine I floated away just like I wanted below. No, the view wasn't that great. No, this blog isn't abandoned. It's just way easier to read other people's stuff then to write my own. I read a lot of very stupid blogs these days - the equivalent of vegging out in front of the TV. Sometimes I re-read stuff. That's like aimlessly watching reruns. Yes, I can find better

It's the beginning of July. We're halfway through '08. How have things been?Well, first thing is I'm not even going to measure how I've progressed since the last quarter review. It's abysmal. Can we just pretend that I never made that list? Thanks. Other than that, there are several areas worth noting down.About two weeks back, I found out that my sister was leaving for a missions trip to India

Fitting, very fitting. And I say that having gone into the tournament as a Germany fan. Some have called me fickle or disloyal, but I prefer to think that I can acknowledge and support a team that deserves to win. By that, the Spainards had me converted from a secondary sort of support (due to the four Liverpool players in the team) into a strong conviction that this team played well and were

Pundits hail it as such because of the quality of the football that has been shown throughout. This is a good thing for me, as it is the first major footie competition that I've re-arranged my life around and sacrificed sleep to follow closely, and watching a good competition makes it feel really worthwhile. 12 out of 24 matches from the group stages (16, if you count the simultaneous ones) is a

That's what Vernie, our 'executive produce' said after all the guests had left. I agree with that sentiment very much.Anyhow. Hello. I've found my blogging motivation again. The weeks from my last post to now have been tumultuous, and I decided against putting it up here so please pardon the lack of activity here.

I heard the news in the lift after work. It didn't really sink it then. It was rainy and grey and someone messaged to say that there was a terrible storm in PJ and that traffic was at a standstill.It took one and a half hours to get back home. Being among lines of cars in the sullen rain depresses me. Phones that keep beeping with frantic messages about the price hike didn't help. The bleakness

Today, I said I was a little desperate. You see, yesterday, I came across this illustrator, Lauren Nassef, who posts a different drawing of hers every day on her website.She draws something new every day.Like this other site, 25 Project, which I stumbled upon in January this year and wanted to blog about, but never got around to. It's a self-taught graphic designer's project where, to commemorate

"If they say 'I'll try to come', it actually means 'Don't rely on me, I'm not going to make it'. They're setting you up so that at the last minute when they say 'I can't come' you've been prepared already. But they actually already know."*Said that last Wed and meant to post it up. I think it's a cynical but truthful observation.

Talking about last night's United concert, Fergs made the observation that teenagers naturally express fandom (which is an extension of their expression of identity), and if all they're exposed to are worship bands, they're going to express that fandom onto them.I suppose some might say that it's better to adulate something Christian then not. But I'm not sure if I can be comfortable with the

Your job should fit you, not you fit your job. Don't be afraid to fight for that.If you don't know what you want to do, it's okay to take a year to walk slowly. It allows you to look around and within. Rushing too much means you miss seeing messages from your surroundings and from within yourself. You need those signs, and it's hard to hear these things when you're moving quickly.I said these

Today, I came across a wedding blog with the tagline "Planning a modern wedding in a world of pink flowers and poofy dresses."I like that sentiment very much. I've heard it said before that after attending a few weddings, they start to all look the same and I'm beginning to agree. So. A vague idea I have floating in my head is to aim for a flowerless wedding.Good start, yes?

So I self-loath quite a bit.I find fault with stuff I make and there's no convincing otherwise that it is anything other than sub par. Just the other day I wrote a card out and hated my handwriting and the sentence construction so much, it never got sent.It's rather paralysing, to put it mildly.But yesterday night, I wrapped a gift and made a card and felt happy with the results.

Sometimes, it's difficult to decide whether to hold your tongue or not, even though it isn't a fine line separating the two decisions, but a horrendous, gaping gulf.I know one good rule of thumb is to refrain from offering unsolicited opinions. People aren't interested in what you think unless they actually ask you. I'm trying to hold to that. It's a hard discipline to maintain when the stakes

Today, I wore a knee length skirt to work. Wow. Big deal. No really, it is.You see, it's been half a year since the last time I did so. Late last year, I developed a terrible eczema-like patch on my left ankle. It started out tiny, but over the months it steadily grew. I think it reached right round my leg three months ago. That rash also spread to other places - my outer thigh, left elbow,

I name them and sometimes talk to them and the thought of exchanging them for a brighter, better replacement makes me sad. Maybe I'm just resistant to change.

"For the uninitiated, Wong's films seem pointless and dull, which is reinforced by the director's trademark cinematic indulgences, laggard pacing and minimalist plotting. However, upon closer inspection, it is easy to become intrigued by the rampant symbolism, the metaphor-laden dialogue, and the philosophical underpinnings of his films. The exhilaration of watching one of his films comes from

Its entanglements, scope and obscuring libelles would make it a daunting task to film. Yet, Sofia Coppola has done very well in humanising this much maligned queen, and she does so with a unique, feminine grace and vision.The resulting

Vintage pyrex on d*s. Where else do I find such things? I've had this post bookmarked for me to return to look at properly for a few days, which I did today. The patterns are eye-catching enough for me to check out one of the sites it links:Pyrex Love a wonderful pattern fix and resource on all things Pyrex-related.

I've attended a fair number of cells/home fellowships in my lifetime, both as a member and just to visit. While you have different programs methods and structures, I recently noticed that there is one common factor to be found in all of them. That is, regardless of how rousing the ice-breaker or intense worship is, once the Bible and lesson sheets come out everyone turns into spiritual beings.

According to good 'ole Wikipedia, sashimi means "pierced body", from the traditional method of harvesting sashimi grade fish, where the brain is pierced with a sharp spike to kill it instantly. This way the flesh contains minimal lactic acid from the fish dying slowly, which keeps it fresh for a longer time.Oh, and salmon is not a part of traditional Japanese cuisine. Didn't know that.I can't

At the beginning of the year I optimistically banged out 8 to-do things this year. One quarter later and the numbers aren't looking good. However, there have been other accomplishments, the most noticeable being finally getting around to putting up a banner on Introspection (which I didn't even design). Which makes it a not very accomplishing accomplishment. Anyway, the picture's "They are

Movies have the same lingering effect of perfume on me.A spray of perfume follows you throughout the whole day like a hidden hitch-hiker, riding on your subconscious and colouring your mood like the background score in a movie.After yesterday night I am now in the mood for languid, restrained movements and melancholy shapes. Life seems like a nebulous cloud of enigmatic emotions, blurred outlines

That's what architects do. They build their aspirations/emotions/secrets into stone, so your incriminating statement is digested into architecture and it will one day surface between the cracks.I am already anticipating a meeting of minds. Happy birthday to someone I will meet in person one day.

I've been following political publications and discussions this past week. And the biggest impression I've gained from this is... a steady diet of BN and the opposition slagging each other off leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth. First hand, I'm seeing how powerfully divisive a force politics is. Even in church, where we're supposed to be all "one in Christ Jesus".So. Is there a place for

It's been a long time since my last surfing highlights post.Don't like the whole look of the wood + wrapping paper combo, but this idea is absolutely BRILL. It makes me want to rip the wooden front door from my home and make it into a table right now.I've also fallen in love with Miles Redd's ID work. His rooms are so rich! So many ideas to glean.

This year has been peppered with breaks. First I took 2 weeks off at the end of last year, came back to work for 2 days before going to Singapore over the weekend (took a Friday off there). Then it was 3 weeks of work before going off to Australia for 1 week and finally 2 days of work before I took a day off to get a 5-day CNY break.Breaks are supposed to recharge and energise you, yes? But all

Melbourne was colder than expected. Important lesson learnt: never travel anywhere in the world without a pair of jeans. The days sunny days there can't hold a candle to driving out for lunch at blistering noon in Cyberjaya.Despite trying to pace myself, I ran out of mojo over the last 3 sets of Big Day Out.

Sometimes I do stupid things like walking up to doors with that sign and opening them. I'm not talking about literal doors and danger signs here.Anyway, I did that today. The timing was uncanny as that door popped up right on the back of my post yesterday. You see, it's connected to an unresolved issue that has been hovering around like a shadow in the corner of your eye. I don't really regret

I remember Yancey writing that to resent is to literally feel your hurt over and over again.I've been doing that a lot these past few days - feeling hurts over and over again. I relive past conversations or events in my head repeatedly and stir up dormant sadness or bitterness or guilt. In the same way, I have this habit of picking at my scabs and peeling the hard layer off instead of leaving
