In recent times, we have acquired a Canon EOS 60D, so if you see the very very nice looking photos, they're likely from the Canon not the iPhone :D

p's: Not all photos on this blog have been taken by me. In such case, there would be a link to the source at the end of the post.

Of taking risks and losing control.

Image
Perhaps the biggest thing I've come to realize about life, at least mine, is that I do not have control over everything. I've always tried to be intensely careful and guarded so to avoid taking risks, making mistakes, get hurt, be disliked, etc. - to evaluate the probabilities of everything and weigh the pros and cons before doing even the smallest thing like reading a book. See, even reading a book can be risky. To spend that much time on something only to find out that the ending of the book is nothing as I expected. It's been intensely frustrating at times to discover that I know so little and have experienced only so little in life. Stepping out into the great wide world has been quite intense at times and overwhelming, one of the biggest risks I've taken. To try and figure out who are friends and who are foes. Yet, in all this I've never felt the Holy Spirit closer than He has been in the last three months. So I've given up trying to stay in c...

Raising children safely

“Mummy, this is gravy, not sauce.” My firstborn is a bit of a smarty pants. Sometimes it makes me laugh; sometimes it makes me pause. And sometimes, if I’m honest, it makes me worry. Because I wonder if that same sharp mind and quick tongue will make it hard for him to fit in, the way I sometimes didn’t. When your mind works at a hundred miles per hour and your heart beats just as fast, you see and feel the world differently. You catch the undercurrents others might miss. You sense tension before it spills over. You want to fix things, but you don’t always know how. And lately, I’ve found myself holding my breath more than I’d like to admit. The terrible news from Melaka. The stabbing in a school just minutes away from our home. I look at my boys and think, how do we keep them safe in a world like this? Not just safe from harm, but safe in heart. Safe in mind. Safe in spirit. How do you explain to a child that the world isn’t always kind, when you still want him to see it as good? ...

Raising kids in the digital age (or any age, really)

Image
My big kid is six. Only six. And yet here I am, having conversations about brain rot, sex, pornography, and maybe the more subtle one, demons. I can’t believe I even have to explain why it’s not okay to be singing along to Soda Pop . These are heavy things for such a little heart. But the truth is, the world doesn’t wait for them to be ready. It barges in, loud and confident, through songs, YouTube shorts, and classroom chatter. And in the middle of it all, he’s trying to find where he fits. He’s the only kid in his class who isn’t going to SJKC. Seven out of ten of his classmates will be heading to the same school down the road next year. He’s the only one who isn’t 100% Chinese. He feels it, even if he can’t articulate it. That quiet awareness of being different. And so I ask myself, how do I help him navigate this? Because it’s not just about what he listens to or sings along with. It’s about belonging, identity, conviction, and the courage to stand firm when you’re the odd...
