Who were they?
A chance encounter with strangers from a different land. Yet, maybe they were less strangers to me than some locals I might bump into everyday – because we spoke the same language. “It’s good, isn’t it?” Looked up from my

Final one for 2011 :)

Cream – IV
Confession: I’ve always feared doing frosting. It scares me. It looks so… difficult. Remember spending a good amount of time this summer watching SB do it with such style – then promptly forgetting the techniques she patiently described to me,

“It starts with Despair.”
An Advent message from my church in Ottawa [reproduced below; link to other messages here]. Reminded me of the first hand of friendship, kindness and acceptance they offered me that late summer morning, 3 years back. Our thoughtful study of God’s

Wait
I love meeting with A. Our journeys have strong parallels, yet they are also very different in other ways. But we come to the same conclusions about God, who we are in Him, and how we are to live. And

Absent
How much more would I see if I were less absent? … Why is it that I find it so much easier to be present in Canada, not Singapore? * Flickering Mind Denise Levertov Lord, not you, it is I

Ottawa blues
All tired this afternoon. Two napped, two in own worlds. At least, I was – one that’s half a globe away. Half past six. Time to roast the vegetables… Butternut squash. Sweet onion. Red pepper. Zucchini. Beetroot. Forgot the garlic. Did

Recipe 13: Vegetarian Burgers
Credit to SB for this one. It came from Chatelaine Magazine, and was something she wanted to try since it was so appropriate for summer. We had this at her place with homegrown salad vegetables, mango chutney, perfectly grilled asparagus

20th. Wrap.
The end of the 20th. Just 7 left! Eventful. Dramatic. Memorable. Precious. Fleeting. Eternal. Gratitude. Hopefulness. Uncertainty. Wonder. Wrap it up – only so that more can unfold. * Asparagus – it is summer. Soup it. Potato wraps. Honey roasted

Space & Soul
A scent of fresh jasmine. Stringing up orchid petals, with jasmine counterpoints. A book of handiwork. “Wow, this is much harder than I thought… How do they do it? It’s exquisite!” “They have observed nature carefully… understand the structures, the

Pea P(r)esto!
Was bound to do something about that pea fascination sooner than later. Too obsessed with Smitten Kitchen’s post to wait. Peas – check. Pine nuts – check. Parmesan – check. Linguini – check. Brother-who-doesn’t-like-peas not coming home for dinner –

Fuel up
Was a turbulent ride back to SG from HK – the pilot primed us 3 times before takeoff. Thankfully I made a wise choice for breakfast – light enough to just about withstand the lunging and tossing, but heavy enough

Longest Day
It’s the longest day today – Summer Solstice. Days in Canada will get shorter after today. It’s the longest day today – 28 hours back to Singapore. Now at Toronto Pearson, waiting to board CX827. Everyone seems to have trouble
