"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing"-James 1:2-4It's so easy to go into self-pity mode when things aren't going your way.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope the day has been a good reminder of what Christ came to do for us 2000 years ago.I'm typing this from our hostel in Prague (or Praha as the locals call it). It is truly an amazing city. It's so steeped in history, so rich in culture, and it's quite a magical place! The main city is in a valley and is overlooked by the awe-inspiring Prague Castle on a hill. The

Brr. It's 2 degrees in York right now. Using April's Mac while she's off to work. She'll be working for the whole of this week, which leaves me a lot of time to read all those books I've been wanting to during the term, but never got to due to my hectic schedule. SMUCF is having a series of talks on 'Love, Sex and Marriage' when the school term starts. In preparation for that, I've been reading a

Exams are over and I must say it has been a very eventful term. It's really by God's grace that I've been able to manage commitments in the Christian Fellowship, studies and still have time to spend with the people I love. The SMUCF December Bible Retreat was a time of good teaching, a lot of food (Punggol Nasi Lemak, Punggol Seafood Chilli Crab, Teochew Porridge...mmmm), and a good time to hang

This article by David Pitchford echoes what I feel about Bono's Product (Red) project."TODAY'S REPORTS about the RED campaign make no sense. They say $100 million was spent on promoting the RED campaign, but that this only generated $18 million for charity.

Haven’t had the time to update the blog for a while. Sorry guys if I’ve disappeared off the radar for a while, shall update you guys with what’s been happening with me this past month. Interning at Ernst & Young, the recent trip to York with Apes, our German adventures courtesy of Wenjie, and most recently Ah Loong & Evelyn’s wedding, which I just came back from.

Roamed around York on Friday with Apes. It really is an amazing town. The charm and the history make it quite a romantic place (April may beg to differ, since she's been studying here for a while!). Went to the York Minster, a huge Cathedral built in Victorian times, and walked to the city center through The Shambles, a series of crooked shophouses where they filmed some of the Harry Potter

It's been such an amazing week here in York. Don't know where to start! Really thankful to God for the opportunity to see what April's life in York is like. Managed to squeeze two day trips to Manchester and Liverpool on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Visited Old Trafford, Anfield, bought tickets for Saturday's EPL match between Manchester City and Aston Villa, since Man U and Liverpool are

My dad just told me that my second uncle was just diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas yesterday.It's in its final stages and the cancer has spread to his liver.

Sometimes I really wish I could do a Dr. Manhatten and split myself up, and be at various places at the same time. There's just so much to do, and so many people to meet up with.I've had a few conversations with friends, about how we don't see so-and-so around anymore. Sometimes, friends are forgiving, saying that we should be more understanding, that so-and-so is really busy with more important

I enjoy the daily car rides to school with my dad. We talk about random things, about his business, about my university life, about society in general.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check out our government's website at http://www.gov.sg/, to see if they displayed the Prime Minister's e-mail address anywhere, since they did say they were trying to connect more with citizens at the grassroots level. Surprisingly, you can reach him at lee_hsien_loong@pmo.gov.sg. I'm not kidding. I wouldn't mail him to complain about how long it takes for bus 970

It's close to a month since I've posted anything. Haven't had the time to blog really. This term is probably the busiest I'm ever been so far, but yet, there is a sense of peace that I'm finally getting my priorities right, and that I'm putting my time into the things that matter more.

It's funny how my mind wanders when I'm studying. Exams are coming up this week. Last paper's on Saturday, but I'm no where near prepared. Funny thing is I don't seem too anxious. Bad bad bad. Looking through the pictures from the US trip last Summer, made me reminisce about the people I met along the way. It really seems like I've never went there at all, and that it was like a three-month long

Well, I'm trying to keep positive and look at it as exciting. Accounting Information Systems isn't exactly my cup of teh-peng.

Haven't had much time to update. All I can say is, on hindsight, leaving Cedar Point early was really a blessing in disguise. Things would NOT be good if I came back as expected on National Day.It's really funny how God just makes everything come together.

I started blogging back in 2004, when I was in the army. I didn't have any real reason behind it, I just did it out of boredom, to kill time. It also seemed like a good way to let my friends know that I was still alive and well.My reason for blogging slowly evolved into using the blog as a platform to share bits of messages from Church, that I thought would be useful to anybody who would happen

It's been fun roaming around New York by myself. No need to worry about keeping anyone waiting, and just taking my own time to do things. Went to this really cool comic shop called Forbidden Planet (sounds dodgy eh). Comics for 25 cents! Checked out Nintendo World, bought some pies at the Farmer's Market @ Rockefeller Center, slacked around at Central Park, and then had my final look at Times

As I'm typing this, I'm sitting in the pantry of the hostel in Boston, watching a rerun of the Matrix on TV. Charles and I got back to the hostel early after a long day of walking the Freedom Trail, drooling at the food available at Quincy Market, and taking in Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.Before you read any further, thought I'd warn you, I'm in one of those reflective moods.It's been

Can't touch this.

Patriots on a cow. I don't get it.

Just to reiterate, these Italians are nuts.

Here we are! Boston! Charles and I took the Chinatown bus at about 12 noon and arrived just after 4pm. We headed straight down to M.I.T. and Harvard. Amazing campuses. You'd think after you've seen one US college, you've seen them all. Wrong. The architecture and the and the amount of history at Harvard is overwhelming. MIT's buildings are pretty modern by comparison, and some of the buildings

Really felt for Zidane and his sending off. That's seriously not the way for one of football's legends to ride off into the sunset. It's like Péle getting slapped in the face. That said, Little Italy here in Downtown Manhatten went INSANE after their team won the world cup. Streets packed with people, strangers hugging each other, cars driving by with Italian flags hanging out, horns blaring away

Went to watch another Broadway musical with Charles today- Hairspray. I thought the dance routines and costumes were a lot better than The Producers, but in terms of story, plot, script and acting, Producers wins hands down. It was still quite an amazing spectacle though! The dance routines were timed to perfection, and the energy on stage was so contagious! I really enjoyed myself. Went to the
