The Lady with the Pink Trolley - first attempt

Yesterday, a friend asked, so what happened to the thing you wanted to write … emm … blog. What was it to be called again? I said “The Lady with the Pink Trolley?” So. As I had been thinking about it – for years now – I thought I would attempt at writing, at the age of almost 69 yo. (love this short form of years old :) The pink trolley has been stationed, unmoving, in the room for several weeks now, not seeing much action. Didn’t go to the market/supermarket. Didn’t go to the library which has been under renovation for several months, I’m so looking forward to going again this September. The 8 books in the trolley waiting to be replaced by new books. One of my favorite places is the Petaling Jaya Public Library; I am hopping happy to see the large English fiction section, it will take me forever to read them all. All? Not likely because I am actually quite picky about books I read. As I couldn’t get new books from the library there were 3 things I could do to ...

Explaining the Time Gap and other things

Image
There is a gap of more than 10 years between this post and the last one.  Why?  Because I have decided to write/blog now that I have more time as a retiree. Trying to remember what happened in the past. And trying to learn something, if anything, for the time to come.  When I first started this blog in 2007, I had retired from government service as a school teacher and had started work in the Methodist Council of Education - and thus the name of this blog EDUMETH. I left MCOE end 2016 for another position in the Federation of Christian Mission Schools Malaysia, FCMSM. I retire as the General Secretary of FCMSM end of June 2021. a favourite 2019 photo of me - sip your coffee, nice and slow Life sure has slowed down for me. 😉 So.  With more tweedling thumb time, what does one do?

Impressions on Holy Land Trip

Image
Cobwebs of the Past i ask myself what i was doing in the holy land. a pilgrimage? looking for some upliftment in my spiritual life? evidence of the bible land? to walk the land my Saviour walked? i guess ... it was all of the above and what did i find? God is beyond tombs... temples ...time ...sticks... stones... space God is with us where we will place Him in our hearts and in our lives ... we are His body in the world Mount Sinai at Sunrise I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psa. 121) This tree growing by the stream flowing from the melting waters of Hebron reminds me of Psa.1 ... like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. there was also fish in the stream, remember? Near this area, Chai Hok again reminded of Jesus' words when he asked, Who do you say I am?

Following His Footprints

Image
Hi Fellow Travellers / JPs (Jerusalem Pilgrims) of Ps Chai Hok's group (14-24 Sept 2008) ! It's been a week since we returned from that incredible trip to Dubai, Egypt, Israel and Jordan. How have you been since then? I, for one, was glad to be back even though it meant back to the grindstone of work. But how I praise God for this wonderful journey with you all: in holy communion with our Lord - like the picture of our Holy Communion by the Sea of Galilea.
