Of Cool Nights and Pineapple Tarts (0)
The lunar new year, which the Chinese celebrate all over the world, is a good thing. January 1st came too early, it wasn’t a cause for celebration. I think it took the whole of January just to get used to the idea of 2013, and for everyone’s schedules to settle and take root. Today is… Read More ›

Validation (4)
Validation: 1. Finding or testing the truth of something; 2. Affirmation, support, or confirmation.

On short notice, I suddenly found myself supervising the colour scheme for the coupons to be used during my church’s upcoming Christmas Bazaar. Small job yes, but these coupons will have a high visibility from the time they are sold (a month from now) right up to the day itself, when it will be the… Read More ›

I’ll Bring You More Than A Song (2)
There’s a Mandarin song I recently had to learn to sing properly for church worship. It wasn’t a particular favourite, but I worked on singing it right. Word by word, I took the song apart so I wouldn’t twist the Mandarin words out of shape by treating it like an English song. My confidence grew,… Read More ›
