A rare long weekend presented itself with National Day being on a Friday and Hari Raya Haji coming on the Monday. So on Sunday, we took the opportunity to check out the famed Treetop walk at Macritchie Reservoir as I had never been on it. There were a sea of people in the trails as … Continue reading Highs and Lows

Happy 54 Singapore!
Today the nation celebrates 54 years of independence and also a bi-centennial of the founding. Wonder what the next 50 years will be like here. Climate change threatens to create more weather chaos.

In a twist of my legs' fate, I had a suggestion from an old church friend to seek out a physiotherapist. We have not met in years but I'm reminded that she was the one that prayed over me and gave me the message to have a child a decade back. It never crossed my … Continue reading Muscle on

Keep on keeping on…
Friday's Returned event was a good reminder of how we all struggle. Our faith is always tested. Some for longer periods, some shorter. But truly amazing to see the 3 testifiers come out of it stronger and being able to glorify God by their life and stories.
