Size Seven Shoes

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. One of the books I bought is entitled Intended For Pleasure and is authored by Ed & Gaye Wheat. I had heard a great deal about this book from couples who have undergone pre-marital counselling. It is said to be a good book to read about sex in the context of a Christian marriage. Since Deric and I will be covering the illusive topic of sex in our upcoming session with our pre-marital counsellors, Mike and Diane Constantine, I decided that the time has come for me to start educating myself on these issues and preparing to face them so I am not helplessly clueless when the time comes. 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     

It feels strange to have a blog titled Size Seven Shoes and then to have a coffee cup picture showing on the site. I really should make my own template and put shoes into the design. Hmm. But I like this template.. how? :(

Chinese New Year begins tomorrow. I think it only really excites you when you're still a child. The thought of the angpaus and meeting cousins and playing games with them seems very much appealing at that age. At my age, it's not to say that I don't like Chinese New Year altogether, it's just that with each passing one, you feel the weight of how much time has flown and you wonder at where you're at. This is my final Chinese New Year receiving angpaus. Once I get married later this year, I will be the one handing them out. It'll be a different feeling. It's one of those markers in your life that make you realise how many years you've braved through, and wonder how many more there will be to come. I've never particularly felt responsible with money. Not that I'm a huge spender, but just that I don't particularly keep a close tab on where all the money goes. I wonder will that be a hindrance as I take on marriage. I wonder how much pare...
