Tonight Deric and I went to see Peter Sinn Nachtrieb 's play, boom , which is currently showing at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre. Touted as "the Asian premiere of America's most produced play in 2009-2010" in the email invitation I received from The Actors Studio , I was naturally curious as to what it was all about and whether it was as great as the email had suggested. What I found was that it as just as was described in the review published in The Star . The outstanding features of the play were its riveting, hilarious script and the splendid performance that was put up by the actors. The play's script consisted was a colourful concoction of words, and was extremely delightful and witty although it would have been better had it not incorporated any foul language as part of the script. It also had the most elaborate stage setup that I've seen thus far (do bear in mind that I haven't really seen many plays thus far in my life).The stag...

This weekend I visited Canaanland (a Christian book store located near my house, to those of you who are not from the Klang Valley) and bought 2 books. My decision to get them was as a means of preparing for my upcoming wedding, which will be taking place in 152 days' time.

But rather than focus on my personal preparation for marriage (which will probably be a long story in itself and warrant...

Good... morning.  Such irony there is. On a morning where Deric and I agree to meet up for morning exercise, it rains. It's amusing how the vagaries of nature can just suddenly jump out at you and foil your plans. But that's how it is, I guess. Nature is beyond our control. But it's not beyond God's. I guess we'll just have to make the most of this cool, wet morning. Even if the exercise part gets delayed, it's still a lovely morning in itself. To me, every morning is lovely because it's a new day. That means new chances, and a shot at new beginnings, too. *     *     * Through the Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.   They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  - Lamentations 3:22-23
