A good day

Midnight just passed... she's 21 now and I think I'll let it pass... Not a good way for me to remember her though.

Yesterday was quite an exciting day for me. Finally, my first chance going on stage to perform a solo number in front of an audience. I woke up in the morning 0630hrs, and saw rains.... it was nice to sleep... but I had a performance to take care of. Went to Clark Quay in the morning to meet up with the rest of the group for one final round of rehearsal. Too bad, Kavita couldn't make it, but hope she's feeling better now. Gen Acts Idol was the event of the day at Liang Court. The beginning was quite interesting, the solo singers from the first five groups were good and their group performance was also 'there'... though I think my group performance is even more 'there'. I was bascially quite nervious when I was performing my solo, but I got high eventually, think I really put up an impressive performance. Shocked the whole ground with my second song, a rap song called 'tell me' by Wilber Pang. Everyone seemed so impressed, except maybe for the judges, cos for god know why I didn't get into the finals. Disappointed sia but I think it's an experience. There are people who don't believe that it's my first time on stage. Even so, I was already quite high on singing, never expected the whole group to agree to go KTV after the whole thing , but I dun mind, since I was high already and would probably sing without the music anyway.....

They say that I'm in my own world when I sing. Maybe so, I put all my emotions into my singing, and thru that, I'm able to relate my experience with the songs I sing. It's good, though I think I'm the only one who does that.

Really look forward to school.... and forward to my success too.

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
