Another year gone by….and what are my resolutions?
Well, as an individual, I have no plans or needs.
I am also someone who pooh-pooh at those who make resolutions and break them.
I live by Jesus’s word of - Do not worry.
“Can any of you add a day to your life by worrying about it?” (Matthew 6:27)

The only reminder of the tidal wave (where Gurney Drive is concerned) is the closure of Oriental Seafood [...]

A rare preachy blog from me

*Don’t worry… I am not going to tell you that the signs of the world ending is near, I won’t kill you with boring preachy things to repent or sembahyanglah sebelum anda disembangkan, that kinda thing.*
I dragged myself out of bed at 6.30am this morning to celebrate mass because I am a curious cat and [...]
