Last Sunday James received his First Holy Communion. After the mass whilst we were walking away from the main hall, a little girl ran up to him to hand him a registration form for the altar servers. It has crossed my mind in the weeks leading up to this that he could start service now, … Continue reading Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?
Landings is 10!
Its been an amazing journey for a ministry that got set up because someone from Singapore (Tony) picked up a brochure from a church in the U.S. and decided to see if it can be brought here. Only with God's grace can such a venture succeed. Today we celebrated a thanksgiving mass at St. Anthony's … Continue reading Landings is 10!
Run baby run…
So after about 20 years at a desk job and minimal exercising - I don't even go clubbing to shake that booty or whatever, your body literally starts to rebel against you.

Fit #4
The day started fine, no illness no fever .. then suddenly the school calls to say Liz had a fit again. They rushed her by ambulance to KKH and here we are again.
Fall on your knees
The recent cold snap that brought a week of rain and 22 degree days to us was quite unique. I've never seen so many people wear sweaters outside before. I think to some extent the cold also hit my knees. After a short nap in the afternoon, I found that I could no longer lean … Continue reading Fall on your knees

What a way to end the year.. The boy has a regular Korean fish dinner on Thursday and an hour later it flares up into hives on the upper torso. We brought him to the A&E as it was late and they gave him a jab. The next day, the hives travel down the legs … Continue reading Allergy
