Fantastic Mr Fox and Marriage

2012-02-13T11:58:00.001+11:00

"Similarly, I also think of Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. The situation may be more fantastical than in Win Win—these are walking, talking animals, after all—but it’s still the marriage between Mr. Fox (George Clooney) and Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) that grounds the story, giving it a maturity often lacking in children’s animated films. Mrs. Fox is the deep breath to Mr. Fox’s over-caffeinated

The Alabaster Jar

A good rare chat with Ian from his month away in Michigan, ie a 13 hour time difference from Singapore, time with church friends, and a cool night walk home. Mm mm. Good day. -- Journal entry // 9 November 2008 // 2007hrs I want to be like the woman with the Alabaster jar who abandoned herself. Totally. Didn't care what others thought. Just Jesus was her world. She beheld Him in her eyes.

The Sacrifice for Purity

2012-01-14T11:27:00.001+11:00

We are called to be pure. Purification required blood. Purification requires sacrifice. What are we willing to sacrifice, for purity? Thoughts from Hebrews 10.

To the Beat

2012-01-10T12:12:00.001+11:00

I love that I love music. That as I sit in the train with earphones plugged in, I can tap my feet according to the beat. And not just at every '2' and '4' beat like clapping, but to a certain extent like I'm drumming (on a drum with only two parts lols). It's fun! It's a good gift. Well all gifts are good. But I particularly like this one :) Thank You!

I need to learn to not just regurgitate, but to think. So my thoughts go through, well, not so much 4 stomachs like cows, but more thought-processes. That things are critically thought of and not just... bleah-ed out! To know that I should have an opinion, and that my opinion matters. On a side note, while trying to find funny pictures of cows, I found a pretty bookshelf instead. Might

I've been working on the design for this booklet for work and every designer knows its no fun to have new pages introduced because it means changes to the layout, and also fitting everything to make sure pages come in fours. So yesterday I was rushing to complete the book after some new page introductions. And. And it happened again. New pages were introduced. So frustrated! Just that this time

Crazy People, Crazy Love

2011-09-06T00:41:00.003+10:00

What is so powerful about love? It is choice. You choose who you will love. You choose how you will love. You choose if you will love. Doesn't that make that even more amazing that God chose to love crazy people like us? He must be a crazy God :)

The Safety of Light

2011-08-30T19:04:00.004+10:00

I like the light. With light, you can see everything; nothing can be hidden. That's what makes Singapore so safe. I want my life to be "safe" too. No place to hide - in darkness. But living in a flooding light. Let Your light shine, in me. Lord, Let Your light shine in me. Let there be no hidden places, no secret spaces, but complete comfort and intimacy – You and me. No shame, no condemnation,

It's a tad harder to quantify efforts when it's more qualitative in nature. But it isn't impossible. At Halogen, we've been "collecting" stories of the impact we've made through filming, and it's been encouraging hearing from people of various walks of life. Some things I've learnt: You just gotta love hospitable moms. At the first house we went to today, we were given nut cake for breakfast

Reading a part in Oliphint and May’s “Things That Cannot Be Shaken”, about how God used messengers such as angels, prophets and people like Moses in the past. To not rely on and trust them was sinful because it showed lack of trust in God Himself. It wasn’t just all “honour” though, “As appointed by God to serve him, they were also meant to be trusted with the tasks God had given them.” It

We should have an International Cleaners' Day. For all the people who keep our areas clean. Which makes for a better environment, healthier lives and happier people. Thank you, cleaners.

Ian was here for a month. It was good to not just communicate via Skype, but be able to see each other and speak face-to-face. I feel refreshed :) While I do wish we didn't have to do the distance, all I'm thinking of is: 2 months!!! 2 months and I'll be in Melbourne again! With Ian!!!(Yay - a post that ends and begins with Ian, literally) \m/

Pass the message / Not growing up (in some ways)

2011-06-19T23:47:00.012+10:00

Before my sisters got married and moved out, my brother occupied the room which had a window beside my window. Ie, we had the same window view.Somehow, we found a way to tie a string between our windows. It acted as a way of passing messages when we were not supposed to. That is, when we were supposed to be stuck in our rooms doing homework. We would also knock the wall to tell the other to

Enough

2011-05-31T00:10:00.006+10:00

Since I got my second hand iPhone from Ian and downloaded the Bible into it, I've taken to reading from it in the train to work every other day. Today, I read Matthew 15 which tells of how with seven loaves and a few small fish, Jesus fed four thousand. Often, we see the story of the loaves and fishes as multiplication – of how when we give God little, He can make it many. Today as I read it,

I am no longer an apathetic youth!

2011-05-09T02:48:00.015+10:00

Indeed! Honestly, I never knew politics and a General Election could get me so... so... like... I feel so much for it. Social media has probably helped a lot because I see all these news and comments and it's more fun that I have friends expressing their opinions, and not just the mass media which is barely fulfilling its purposed function as a fourth estate ayes. My Dad's favourite thing to do

Bubble moments

2011-05-02T16:31:00.006+10:00

Oh my. When you work, time really just passes by so very quickly! But anyway. I wanted to share about bubble moments. For times when I need something therapeutic - perhaps when I am a bit down, listless or emo-ish (not a fan of that word), I blow bubbles. It's not so much that they make me happy, but more that they are sort of something calming-ish?They accompany me in my "moment" and bring some

My heart reads // Willingness

2011-04-25T21:48:00.006+10:00

I've got to admit I haven't been reading my Bible very regularly. Still, God has been very good, constantly speaking and revealing through His Word. These days, I find that I read somewhat differently. As I read, I seem to recognise the tone and emotions of the situation more than before. Beyond just reading objectively and looking at things metaphorically and whatnot, I seem to understand more

Belonging; the cross on your neck

2011-04-24T00:33:00.006+10:00

Do you wear a cross on your necklace?What does it symbolise?I've worn one for years. Honestly, I began to wear it only because my sister gave it to me - like, oh, nice - something new. And since it was something non-negative (eg, not a skull), why not?But now, I realise its significance.One, as many of us know, it represents Christ's death and resurrection;Two, I believe it unites believers. Yes

Maybe the Nephilin mentioned in Genesis actually exist!Er, combi of both?Because of the supernatural things (aka special affects) we see on screen, when it comes to "real, supernatural things" like healings and miracles that pastors tell of, we actually see them with as much belief as

Have you ever been distracted in a worship session because of the worship leader? I refer to "worship session" here as the "song segment" of a service.I have been. I was at a worship session the other day and because of a previous encounter with the worship leader which gave me a bad impression of him, I was kind of slow to worship. Quesions like, Why is he leading worship? Is this genuine?

Have you experienced times where you seem to not be hearing from God, not know where to serve in church or not know your direction in life? In times like these, we tend to wonder if we are doing something wrong and are far from God. We question - am I not reading the Bible/praying/seeking enough? Why do I not seem to see fruit?Acts 8 tells of Philip who was in an exciting meeting where many

Humbled by the humble // Ian's a little nearer!

Today, I co-facilitated a No Apologies workshop at a church for its youth and a handful of parents. After the workshop, a parent came up to ask for advice regarding her child and some boy-girl concerns, to which I roped in my co-facilitator who is a parent of teens himself, for help.Apart from the meaningful fun and learning that day, what I took home was - aren't we humbled by the humble?

I don't usually bring my ipod out because I feel plugging it in makes me quite closed - like I am unapproachable and besides, I want to hear the sounds around me - it makes me more aware.But the other day, I felt like I needed some encouragement, which sometimes come by way of music. So that was the rare ipod day :)-Okay so might as well give you a peek on the essentials for a usual day out.

Love as found in restraint

2010-10-27T01:17:00.004+11:00

Many times we think about love as giving. However today I want to propose that love is also found in restraint. I am pretty sure Christ was tempted many times, most famously after He fasted for 40 days in the desert. But He never once gave in. It was in restraining that He was able to be the perfect sacrifice to redeem humankind. It was in His restraint, that He could truly give. Will we, too, be

I reckon some best times of ruminating are done while on the toilet bowl, especially when it is pang sai time (cos it's longer). Think about it. We go through our lives in such a rush, sometimes barely stopping to really wonder, think, dream, ask, seek, be curious... In such times, toilet bowl moments are great. Those are times when you are forced to sit down, with nothing to distract you (unless

How could God use someone like me?

2010-09-17T11:13:00.003+10:00

Was reading Jenetezen Franklin's blog and found this kind of related to my previous post. It goes-Ever ask, "How could God use someone like me?" The Psalmist answers, "For his name's sake"! (Psalm 23:3) Only one name counts- and it's not yours!He continues, writing about humility here.

Why do You love me

2010-09-16T22:00:00.003+10:00

Am I worth loving? Practically speaking, comparatively, relatively – no. Then why do You still love me? My love ain't like your kind of love. I don't want you to live based on the love (or other things) that you know (current head knowledge, finitely bound, limited). I want you to live based on the love I have. To grow towards that, and to, eventually, show the world that kind of love too.

Love helps us see our ugliness

2010-09-06T23:41:00.010+10:00

You know what's one thing love does? It shows me how ugly I am. For the other to give me so much love, to show so much goodness without wanting any back in return; what I give cannot be compared. It shows me how ugly I am. In contrast to how beautiful that person is, it shows me how ugly I am. I guess. In seeing how ugly we are, we can then see how much we are lacking and in need. That's kinda

Religion vs relationship

2010-09-02T12:15:00.008+10:00

There is a difference in doing what the Bible says because it-is-the-right-thing-to-do,and doing what the Bible says out of love for God. The latter is so much more free-ing. But truth is, there are times where we obey even when we don't feel like it. That does not mean we do not love God. After all, we choose to obey even when we don't want to, because we do love Him. But hopefully, that love

Some thoughts from this year, straight from my journal... 20 MAR // 0039 HRS Sometimes I wonder if the things we fight for, are worth fighting for. What are we fighting? What are we fighting for? Are they worth it? 25 MAR // 2218 HRS It feels good to be able to do things right. That's cos you've been training. Like if you can lift the heavy thing. It feels good. Cos you can do it with ease. But

Random image of my room in Melbourne. Image by Dawnsa. You know what? I appreciate God a lot and I'm really grateful for Him. Even more so when I realise what a (negative negative negative) I am. But His (positive positive positive) doesn't just neutralise it, but makes it positive. I told you God is superpower.

Hey so sh*t can be used for a good thing!

2010-08-04T13:42:00.010+10:00

Hello peoples! Sorry I've been so out-of-action! I haven't posted anything for more than a month! Ack! Well. A thought I had today while talking to a friend. It might sound a bit crude, but it's not wrong! My friend's talking about how she feels like "shit". So I start thinking... Okay how does shit become a good thing? Shit... smell... bad smell too. Can't ever be fragrant (nopes, never). Oh.

I love You Lord!

2010-06-25T12:04:00.001+10:00

And I am shouting it out loud!I do love You, Lord (:

People are always more; seeing through God's eyes

2010-06-22T00:20:00.006+10:00

People are always more. More than we think they are. There is much more depth below the surfaces that we see (: Ask God to help you see through His eyes. It is something I often do. When we see with our "physical eyes", there are always faults and lacks to point out. But when we ask God to see through His eyes, well, God is a God of hope and love and grace, and hence He sees things using "lenses"

Two thoughts on Gratefulness

2010-06-17T23:47:00.012+10:00

Two Thoughts on Gratefulness :) ONE You can't stop me from thinking that all this is extraordinary; from being grateful for every thing. because I like to think that it all comes from God - every single bit of it. Being grateful gives me joy. :/ TWO It doesn't come across as that way, but sometimes, it is as if I tell God – can I take You for granted for a minute? And I go my own way to live

Joy

2010-06-13T11:50:00.006+10:00

Earlier this morning while reading The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence, I came across this, a habitual, silent, and secret communion of the soul with God, which often causes me joys and raptures inwardly, and sometimes also outwardly, so great that I am forced to use means to moderate them and prevent their appearance to others.which I proceeded to highlight and draw a ^.^

Thank you, Steven Curtis Chapman

Dear Steven Curtis Chapman,Thank you for letting God use your life. It is in what you have gone through, that you are able to write such songs. It is in surrendering your life to Him, that He is able to use you to bless others with all that He is to you. Thank you that no matter what you've gone through, you've not given in to bitterness, but you've opened your heart to His love.Because of this,

God, give me a heart full to love. To love crazy love. To love You-love.

2010-06-01T14:53:00.004+10:00

God, give me a heart full to love. To love crazy love. To love You-love. I believe it is possible. Cos You said I'd do even greater things than You (we all would). Besides, You command us to love as You do. And You do not leave the called, unequipped. So enable me. Empower me. I am living by Your grace. And Your grace is never without effect. <3 hui-John 14:12 - "I tell you the truth, anyone

suddenly you get hit by a wave; it pushes you back.

You feel like you're making some progress, getting further out into the water.Then suddenly a wave hits you; it pushes you back.But it's okay. Relax. And the water will bring you back in.The water will bring you back in.And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

I've decided. That I'd rather live the high life. God life.

2010-05-29T21:55:00.003+10:00

I've decided. That I'd rather live the high life. The high life where I may go through "screw ups" and unpredictability and take my chances and fall; walking by faith. But it's a God life. It is a life with purpose and meaning.What would it be like, to live a life of routine? To not have much out-of-the-blue; to live in me-centerdness; to be comfortable?Uh-uh. Not the way to go. Not for me at

Prayer for OCF Clayton English Class

2010-05-28T11:23:00.006+10:00

We have weekly OCF prayers on Wednesdays. While a random few pop in every now and then (which is good), there have been a regular bunch of us who are getting more comfy with each other; those one hour meets have been getting better. OCF Clayton has been planning to launch English Class in semester two in an effort to reach out, and it has been an item on the prayer list for a few weeks. But

I don't really trust You God. That's why I hold back.

Two Thoughts on LoveAs per earlier journal entriesONEI am afraid that I do not have enough love within me.No, you do not love from within. You love from with-out.It is because you do not have, which is why you need to draw from an outside source.That outside source which is more than enough."Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God

Got back my first assignment today and my lecturer said he marked me based on my literature review rather than how it answered the assignment's requirements. Cos if he did the latter, I would not do as well as I did. So nice! Very gracious. Phew. The thing about this unit is that there's uh, only one person in each class? Haha. It's just one lecturer with one student, and the requirements are

By that act of faith > a miracle (Acts 3)

2010-05-03T14:56:00.005+10:00

Outside the temple gate, a cripple expects to receive something from Peter and John. Peter says, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he (Peter) helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. (Acts 3:6-7)When I read that, I went - wow. Peter had to first, in faith, help the

What happens when you find a really good journal article/book that relates to your thesis topic

2010-04-21T22:09:00.005+10:00

What happens when you find a really good journal article/book that relates to your thesis topic?1) Yes yes yes! This is exactly what I'm talking about! Very good!

I burnt my nose!Okay, not really. I was boiling barley and I leaned over the pot to sniff it and the steam was so hot. So it felt like I burnt my nose. Haha:)-God's Word cleanses me. Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. And I am reminded of when Jesus said- My food is to do the will of Him who sent me. Wow.I was reading John 17, and verses 25-26

BECOME A GRACIOUS RECEIVER

2010-04-12T10:23:00.002+10:00

Become a gracious receiver"Freely you have received, freely give." Mt 10:8 NKJVJesus commanded us to give and receive. There must be a healthy balance between both. His command to give challenges our innate selfishness. His command to receive keeps us realistic about our personal limitations, our dependence on God-and others. For some of us, receiving is harder than giving. We have no
