A song that finds an echo within my heart… He knows: let this my comfort be; He knows the path designed for me; A healing balm for all my woes— O blessèd thought! my Savior knows. Refrain My prayer for strength to Him is known, Tho’ breathed in secret and alone; The weary heart, the tear that flows, O blessèd thought! my Savior [...]

I was looking for a biography or a real life story book for my sister to read when I came across the autobiography of Fanny J Crosby. And I’ve been very thankful to God for the book ever since! True, it’s not that easy to read. Because even though her life is amazing, she [...]

2 days after the election and we still cannot sure who will be Australia’s next Prime Minister. Most exciting election in Australia over the last 50 years? More like most disastrous to me. Although I did vote for that Mid-Night Oil guy (who else is worthy in Kingsford-Smith?) I gotta say that I am really [...]

From Leo Laport: Buzz Kill. It makes me feel like everything I’ve posted over the past four years on Twitter, Jaiku, Friendfeed, Plurk, Pownce, and, yes, Google Buzz, has been an immense waste of time. I was shouting into a vast echo chamber where no one could hear me because they were too busy shouting [...]

With a note of thanks to God for yet another dear brother, who has kindly rebuked me and convinced me that it’s not a good idea to put up a strong front. And who didn’t just leave it at that, but also showed through his actions the love of Jesus by not walking away when [...]

Do you know how there are just some people whom you can talk to and who can encourage you through your conversation with him/her – either through what s/he said or what s/he made you realise? In His kindness, God has blessed me with some friends like that. One of whom I had a conversation [...]

Having missed FocusTeam for 1.5 yrs made me almost forgot how great it is to sit and listen and grow in God’s Word. In particular this week’s topic is the doctrine of the jealous God. It also gave me a clearer understanding of the relationship between God and Israelites in Old Testament, as i’ve been [...]

Sign-seeking.  I have to admit that many times I fall into this temptation too, whether or not to ask God for “sign”.  And for this BoT drama, I fell. I was so troubled in mind whether or not to accept this job, whether or not this job is what God wants me [...]

I’ve been contemplating whether or not to write this post. For it may be misunderstood by some readers.  Most of the time I’m writing mainly to myself; a reminder, a lesson learned, a rebuke, or simply a rant. But I do aware of others who may read my post -and without understanding [...]

No, I don’t have Accordance or an iPhone. But the prospect of such a combo brings joy to my deteriorating memory (and perhaps aghast to the language purists =D). Accordance says the app will be release ‘this fall’ – I take that to be spring down under?

We have recently got a new car and are trying to offload my other cars — the white Pulsar is too small now for the family of 4, and Voyoge is too big to drive around the town. I have just put our 11 year old Nissan Pulsar N15 hatchback on Drive.com.au 2 nights ago… [...]

Google’s probably the last update on Google Wave. It’s a bit sad, because Wave is primary a Sydney product, sad I have spent the last Google partners day looking at it. We even used it for one of the collaboration at work. I guess a technically superior product might still not be popular, if no [...]

We decided to leave FOCUS after 12 yrs, the distance has certainly has become a big factor. We decided to kept it low-key and just say our goodbyes very quickly with a promise that we’ll come to visit. That was about a couple of months ago. Couple of months later, we have almost [...]

Aren’t they cute?! =) They are the Sumatran tiger cubs that were born in February 2010 at Melbourne Zoo to resident tigress Binjai and a male tiger Ramalon. Do you know that no two tigers have exactly the same stripes?? Amazing, hey?! =) Just like people’s finger prints, I guess… But yeah, no two tigers with exactly same stripes!! And [...]

A brother once made me aware of the existence of this song: When I heard it, and read its lyric, somehow I knew that it expressed something deep within me that I couldn’t find words to express… Especially the bit about heart stumbling on things not known… I think, this time, the domino effect of things [...]
