How’s Married Life
We’ve been married for a month. Indeed, it is a tremendous blessing to be with Wai Jia. There are a lot of transitions and changes. Many people asked me how’s married life. My answer is AWESOME. I can never fathom how great it is to have her in my life. Our daily routine of getting up together […]
Community and being alone..deep stuff
This is taken from today’s devotion….wow..very deep. Whoever cannot be alone should beware of community. Such people will only do harm to themselves and to the community. Alone you stood before God when God called you. Alone you had to obey God’s voice. Alone you had to take up your cross, struggle, and pray and […]
I will risk myself on you
When Wai Jia and I planned our wedding a few months ago, we wanted to share with the world our story. A friend introduced us a very talented videographer, Josiah Ng. If you haven’t watched it, I hope you can take the next 13 minutes to watch the video below. It is God’s story weaving […]
Justice, Mercy and Faithfulness
In preparation for the church’s Christmas Drama (I am playing Pilate), I started to read the life of Jesus leading up to the Crucifixion. Particularly from the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew, Chapter 23, Jesus gave seven woes against the Pharisees and calling them hypocrites. There was one woe that I was drawn to… “Woe […]
Chores
A while ago, I read an article relate to those who work in the IT field. Since most of our work are virtual (bits and bytes), there’s a invigorating feeling when we perform physical work, like chores. The rationale is we get to physically see and touch things we accomplished. Perhaps this is why I […]
Marriage Vow
I promise to love you, to comfort you, to honor and protect you, forsaking all others and remain faithful to you for as long as both of us shall live. I acknowledge you, Tan Wai Jia, to be my wife, to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness […]
36,000
“36,000!” My friend exclaimed. “That’s not a lot. The government takes away 20% off that immediately.” We were having lunch over Mr Prata today. I was sharing with him my journey of Ironman back in 2006. It was definitely a different time. I just got started in triathlon. It was my first job after University. To […]
Walking in Faith
Sometimes I go to places like Cambodia or where I am better off than others…and often there’s this guilt factor where i feel like i am helpless or the situation is too big to confront. It can be homeless, poverty, human traffic….way too big. Do I sing that Jesus can do all things and love […]
Cambodia Re-visited
I can still remember when I was telling everyone I would be going with OMF to Singapore. I made it a purpose to also say this was a role I can travel to Asia and to Cambodia as well. From Singapore to Cambodia, it was a mere 2.5 hr plane ride. Though I said I […]
Excitement of Mission Trip and the ‘normal’ Christian Life
My church in Canada sent a team to Suriname last week and I’ve been following them via Facebook and their blog. It is exciting to hear about their joy and excitement as they train, teach and reach out to the community. It is this joy and excitement which I am excited about. I wonder how […]
