Fear of the Lord

is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Proverbs 1:7.

for someone who craves for knowledge and understanding, I sure don't fear the Lord our God as much as I should.

my desk is complete

cool razer mouse .... checked.
awesome speakers .... checked.
wide screen monitor .... checked.
caffeine laden coffee .... checked.
starcraft 2 .... updated!



ever since early november last year, I have been using a somewhat antique-ish lappie for work. not that its not good but the screen is kinda small and I can't really play games (if I want to) except for those puzzlers or those whose requirements would be VGA in all their 256 colours.

now I just need the black widow ultimate and I would be kicking behinds!!

it will be legen, wait for it .... dary!

the funk

been in one since the 1st few days of CNY. probably earlier but its around then as far as my memory is concerned.

been a while since and of course its affecting me, my wife and my work. so how to get out of it? one site offers some suggestions. clear out clutter, try new recipe, HUG A TREE! not literally thank God but not exactly practical especially in singapore. the nearest hugable tree is probably abt 30 mins away and most imptly I dont want to do that. but,

10. pamper yourself.
think I will try to do that. starting now.

see ya later blog.

character building

is never easy.

just when confidence is reaching heights, something bad happens. its not murphy's law. I see it as God's way of breaking me. telling me to be humble.

and He knows what would. and so He did. its painful to acknowledge at the expense of other things in my life but I got to stop being anxious about the breadth of my ministry/career and start working on the depth of my inner being.

happy lunar new year

1) modem went dead on the last day of tiger

2) almost meaningless reunion

3) almost meaningless day 1

4) multiple pointless trips to sim lim and $85 poorer

5) "pay cut"

6) lonely 2nd day evening with sandwiches and accompanied by work

great start to the lunar rabbit year.

asia, for beginners

recently we had the privilege of having 2 germans, going by the name dennis and maren, grace our humble home with their presence.

for about 8 weeks, they made our little pink room their refuge while trying to muck their way around singapore, which is in dennis' words, "asia, for beginners.".

apt really as you think about it. he said, singapore is a melting pot of a lot of asian things. you can find hawkers literally everywhere with food ranging from peranakan, indian, chinese and western. we have little india, chinatown and even a mini korea (arguably). want to have a taste of whatever without going there? we have an array of local food apps on smartphones. everything within 40 mins (drive) reach.

I hope that we had been good hosts to them, not just as singaporeans but simply as a fellow human being.

God bless their souls.
