A love so ruthless, so reckless

When two friends mentioned this song for Lent, I listened. I usually prefer the old traditional hymns and am not a great fan of modern hymns. But the lyrics were a reality check for me. "It's a beautiful song, emotes the bitter sweetness of how our Lord may have felt. Imagine how Mary felt too walking behind her Son," said [...]

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 [...]

Where are you?

Last week, I was still in a pensive mood about Lent and began scrolling through Youtube. I could feel the algorithms stalking me, throwing videos my way about Ash Wednesday but I think God was too, that is, stalking me. He knew what I needed to hear. I came across Fr Eric Immel's video1 where he exhorted me to answer [...]

A Lenten Love Letter

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. [...]

Epic Fast. Epic Fall. Epic Fail.

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? [...]

It was meant to happen? What!

My late husband Mike always had a Plan A and a Plan B. After all we know this adage “Fail to Plan. Plan to Fail.” Perhaps what should be in the back of our minds, or actually the front, is our belief that God has a plan for each of us. I don’t understand how God does it, but hindsight [...]
