“It is not your duty to look after your parent, it is a blessing.” To this day, I remember the words of my friend, a rebuke clearly in her voice. I totally agree, head down. I do realise it was indeed God’s blessing and providence that my mother now lives with me. Frankly, there are ups and downs, agreements and [...]
Luke 13:1-9 Today’s gospel first speaks of the warning and reminder to respond to God when he calls upon us for our duties and purpose in life. This is shown through the Call to Repentance, and not just for those who have greatly sinned, but for all to repent. This is conveyed when questioned “Do you think they were more [...]
Seems like many people are trying their best to capitalise on social media and become content creators. How do you get more people to view your Youtube shorts? Your Instagram reels? When should I post them? Mornings? Evenings? And yet, the greatest movie you are making in full HD (High Definition) is the one with only one release date, when [...]

The devil came to Jesus and [...]
My Beloved Child, I have longed for this moment with you. I see the burdens you carry, the silent battles you fight, and the weight pressing upon your heart. I know the nights you lie awake, wondering how you will get through another day. I see the tears you hide from others, the prayers that feel like they go unanswered. [...]
Luke 6:39-45 Today’s gospel speaks of two themes, of which the first being to judge not our brothers and sisters for their slights and failings according to our personal standards and expectations, but rather, direct our focus on our own areas of improvement and reflect on ourselves before casting judgement on others. The parable of the blind guiding the blind [...]
Like most Singaporeans, I am a foodie. I enjoy a good meal or actually have loved a good meal since young. I could show you my adorable humpty-dumpty childhood figure as proof but luckily we lost most of the black & white photos when we moved house. So Lent is round the corner. So is fasting. So do I fast? [...]
