Polo Rocks Finals

My heart pounded along with the heavy drum beat that boomed out of those huge  man-size speakers; the bassist pumped up as the song raised its crescendo. They were now getting into the song (or ‘groove’ as my generation  would say); one which Jared had wrote only two weeks ago. I couldn’t help smiling, it was only the 2nd time i was hearing the song. . . it sounded good.. Go Jared!  It had great energy. And I felt good the rush of adrenaline. Whoo hooo!

a christmas story

I would look forward to her visits to clean the pantry and the office premise we occupied. We were the estate agents for this new high rise tower office block ( w MSC status) and everyday we would entertain interested parties, .. people with deep pockets, big cars and big egos to match. She was the humble cleaner lady and a breath of fresh air in that stuffy environment. We had some good laughs together in the pantry. Her name was Mary, probably in her forties, doing her best to keep her family intact and make ends meet every month.

shampoo instructions - shower revelations



If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have NOT love, I gain nothing.- (1 Cor 3:13), Apostle Paul.

What did you mean Paul? “I have/gain nothing IF I have not LOVE”.

What if I give myself to do missions, give all my time to the church, give all my money, suffer my body .... for the sake of the gospel. I have gained nothing?

The Ogawa girl




My back was aching and she smiled brightly pointing me to their latest model of the massage armchair. Eh, .. why not? My body needs some pampering. She was chatty and wanted to make sure i was enjoying the full range of the different variety of massages the chair has to offer.

Black and White

Being a couple of mixed race marriage, we tend to attract some attention wherever we go and people tend to remember us (I guess) simply because we are different. We are quite used to it and it has provided us with some moments (and laughs) with the people we encounter.

The other day I was needing to make some copies of documents and decided to turn Betsy (my car) towards my old taman ( neighborhood ) which is the place I grew up in .. in Section 20, Paramount Garden. There is a half shop operated by an 'auntie' ,

We love because He first love us - the Cinderella story



. USED TO BE AN UGLY CATERPILLAR..



When Cinderella first stepped into the ball (party), she was in her best clothes ever, but she was just one of the gals (hundreds?, I imagine) vying for the attention of the prince. Of course, all she wanted was to enjoy herself and was happy just to be among the crowd.
