Security
30 April 2009
Sometimes I feel that people view me differently. That I’m all extroverted and passionate. I’m never scared and I’m always on-the-ball. I joke and I laugh. I’m carefree and easy going. I’m confident and self-assured.

Being Back in Singapore Part 2
17 March 2009
There’s still a lot of adjusting to do. I’m still in a semi-culture-shock mode. It’s not that I’m not a Singaporean (by birth I am!), it’s just that I’ve become more acquainted with Melbourne’s way of life (and I’m a huge fan of it).
Everything has to be better and faster. There is no room for [...]

6 November 2008

And the transformation of your life comes when you are able to translate what you know about God, to a personal relationship with [...]

The bigger the risk, the greater the fall.
But with each fall, we learn to pick ourselves up.
okay, got you.
The Condition for Joy
29 October 2008
Someone once told me that joy is not happiness. Because while happiness only happens periodically, joy can happen even in grief.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature [...]
