  • Singapore Night Festival

    Singapore Night Festival ends today, so I decided to take the family out yesterday to check out the festivities and activities. Instead of just keeping it to the family, we decided to invite some of our family friends to come along. We’re glad to spend time with two families – (1) Dao Han and Cheryl,…

  • Please stop trying to be “cool”

    Please stop trying to be “cool”

    I read this article by Ozan Varol with the same title, and I was inspired to write my own version. After reading this article, I reflected on my own life and realised that I’ve been guilty of this so many times. I try to be “cool”, to appear like I’ve seen it all, and be…

    Service: Marriage Isn’t about You

    I caught a podcast on RightNow Media in the morning while on the way to the office. It was a discussion involving Tim Keller and two married couples (one Christian and one non-Christian). I thought to distill some of the insights that I heard in this post. We ought to serve each other in our…

    Psalm 59

    Writing this at the car workshop because some issues came up with my car. I’m waiting and hoping that everything will turn out well and that all my plans for today will work out the way I had hoped for. Despite the situation, I’m thankful for this “alone time” when I can read this psalm…

    Psalm 58

    Inspired by Dr Kenny Tan (link), who decided to embark on a one-year project in 2021, where he would reflect on the book of Psalms and write a poem each in response to each Psalm. I’m not going to write a poem, but I would like to reflect over each Psalm and pen my thoughts.…

    Race Against Cancer 2024

    This is my first pacer project. I was so glad to be selected as one of the pacers for the 15km (1.5 hours) group. Since I set the goal of completing a marathon in 2024, I have tried to be more active in going for runs and also to be more involved in the running…

    Races Tracker

    Tracking all the races that I’ve done over the years. In 2024, I set myself the target of completing a marathon, hence there is a lot more races that I participated in during that year. Getting back into running has been quite a fun experience (keeping fit, meeting new people, taking in the sights and…

  • Concert: Tsung Yeh and SCO

    Concert: Tsung Yeh and SCO

    Attended this concert with Eleanor and Mikaela yesterday. Tsung Yeh is a conductor that I really like. I was quite impressed by him when I first saw him a few years ago. Even though he has stepped down as the Principal Conductor of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO), I would still make time to attend…
