My New Sister

i would like to welcome a new sister to the kingdom of God.
Because that’s what happened on Sunday, the moment she gave her life to the Saviour of the world, Jesus Christ – she became a full-fledged member of the kingdom of God.
And even more so, take a look at what Scripture says:
“And [the people [...]

My Beloved 3M

Two things happened last week which made me realise something. 
The first was due to a somewhat distressing incident in class which left me quite saddened.
It wasn’t the first time I’d been affected by my students and I was under the assumption that the sadness would soon fade away. 
It did not.
The lingering pain lasted for the next [...]

My Weekend Update

I attended a twenty-hour workshop titled – Transformance – over the past four days. More on Transformance over the next few days
Basically, it ran from 6-10pm from Wednesday to Friday and 9am-6pm on Saturday. 
That explains my absence from school on Friday. I was already on the way out to the bus stop in the morning [...]

Yahweh

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean

Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn
Take these hands
Teach them [...]

There’s truly nothing like the cuisine that can be found in the East, namely the world-famous (i might be exaggerating here) Bedok bak chor mee, bbq stingray, satay and bbq chicken wings [...]

My Evening Meditations

i was making my way to the Potong Pasir MRT station, when i chanced upon a semi-kitten (which we all know is a kitten that’s not quite kitten and halfway to being an adult cat).
It was surprisingly playful and pranced over as soon as it caught the snap of my singers and the gentle smack-smack-smack [...]

dislocation

a balloon floating into the air,
bobbing, throbbing along
to the whims current to the winds;
and as it wafted out of sight,
a forlorn string winding after,
a tiny, tinier dot up in the sky,
i wondered whose hand held it
before before it slipped away
into the air, was lost to the air.

My Film of the Moment

If there’s really one film I want my girls to watch, it’s Spanglish.
I just watched it for the second time and it’s such a heart-wrenchingly beautiful film. Yes, it stars Adam Sandler but it really centres on Paz Vega, who plays a strong and independent Mexican mother grappling with the unique challenge of bringing up [...]
