Camper and frens came up to Desaru on Sunday and dropped by Golden Beach Resort to say 'Hi' to us tri campers. On their way back was a pit stop to lunch on baby lobsters, much to our envy.

It's not about titles, power, popularity, position, fame. It's not about self-interest, self-sufficiency, selfish ambition, self-glorification. ‘If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all’ (Mark 9:35)It's about serving and being a servant!

Game in full swing Charlene wearing the winning hatIn preparation for World Cup 06, the Mites crashed Carol's nest to play soccer on Playstation. Brain food for these premier league players was pizzas, KFCs and Ben&Jerry's. When the guys play, there's no such thing as a 'friendly'. Is there a soundproof room somewhere where we could put these soccer players while they play??? Gosh, they can be so

This few months I have needed a lot of private time with God. Being out there running, swimming and cycling have blocked off that personal time I needed with Him. But Today, its time to give thanks to Him for the space that He has given me (and still giving) me to grow and personalize my own faith in Him rather than taking it lock, stock and barrel. Honesty can be a scary thing but in our

The theme for the floral arrangement in church today was purple but blue hydrangeas were delivered instead.

Being the last terrestrial vertebrates to board the ferry, we couldn't get seats together so we ended up seating here and there and during the looongg journey, I entertained myself by eating the huge Delifrance Chicken Mayo sandwich, napping, and taking sneak peeks over my neighbour's shoulders to see

"Am I getting stronger?", I asked my coach and running buddy while out running the other day (cos I didn't feeeeel like I was getting that much better)... The root of that thot was yes, I want to get better, but sometimes, there is this temptation to look for an easy way out to improve faster, to achieve more, regardless of the means to achieve the ends. It's not easy to stay focus, day in and

And yes, I have just been gently reminded that the highlight of the weekend was a 'torturous' cycling trip at Lim Chu Kang... My gosh, it was hilarious. I was so happily coasting along, being the last in the pack until someone (you know who you are) noticed and reminded me about preparing for tri and before I knew it, I had my gears cranked almost to the highest and was wooshing down the roads

Imagine a tin man who is gradually turning into a real one...every surface that softens, every joint that moves, every follicle of hair that grows...an experience, a picture that captures the process of God's grace at work, taking from me the rigid, lifeless tin to soft living flesh...

Being a lager lover, we visited the Carlsberg brewery in Denmark..where it all began. A Dane called J.C. Jacobsen trained as a brewer in Germany, returned to Copenhagen with a treasured two litres of Bavarian yeast, set up a brewery on the outskirts of the city in 1847. His son Carl, who also later became a successful brewer and lent his name to the company, was dubbed Carlsberg.Team shirts

What's that that's missing in life? On Sunday, Ps Joel spoke about having a relationship with God.. Do we intentionally seek it? Do we even want it in the first place?

My buddy B's favorite song says it all.. God of Wonders (by Third Day)Lord of all creationOf water, earth and skyThe heavens are Your tabernacleGlory to the Lord on highGod of wondersBeyond our galaxyYou are

On 5 August 2005, Friday, our cruise ship docked at Nynashamn, Stockholm. Popular with yachting enthusiasts, the town's charm lies in its scenic location, quiet atmosphere, and rocky inlets lining the shores. From humble beginnings as a Viking fortress, Stockholm spread out through the centuries until today, when its population of 900,000 straddles fourteen separate islands. It is Sweden's

The 7 of us intrepid travellers touched down in Copenhagen on 31 July 2005. Excited, we roamed the city on foot and marvelled at its beautiful parks and gardens, pretty promenades along canals, and ancient winding streets made for walking and biking. Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia with a population of 1.7 million people. It's home to the world's oldest monarchy and its present

Tis hard to tell which is best: Music, food, drink or rest Jesus said to his followers'Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone.'

Last year was a year of tremendous change and, adventurous to say the least...somebody once said 'Hope for the best, expect the worst, life is a play, and we're unrehearsed!'... how true...It was a year filled with surprises, with joys as deep as oceans, and misfortunes fortunately as light as foam...Praise God! So, let's not forget what is worth remembering or remember what is worth forgetting..
