I was saddened when I first read news about the massive earthquake in Haiti, and got really upset when I read this story on CNN: (CNN) — Pat Robertson, the evangelical Christian who once suggested God was punishing Americans with Hurricane Katrina, says a "pact to the devil" brought on the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Officials fear more than 100,000 people have [....] Continue reading Pat Robertson needs to keep quiet Some of you might remember Darren’s story which I wrote the night after he got married in Sep 2006. When I was a journo I asked Darren if I could write the newspaper story on him, but he was too shy. He’s not so shy now, and my dear ex-colleague Wan Ching finally did the deed a few days ago [....] Continue reading Darren’s Story Part II Haven’t had much time to blog due to extreme work commitments over the past few weeks. Came down with stomach flu too on Tuesday, which I had to expel from my system with prayer, willpower and lots of Glucolin. And thank God I was up and running by Wed, a minor miracle in itself. Just a thought for the day [....] Continue reading Life is simple, really. Recently, some of my old postings on Christianity have seen a revival in comments from two readers.

Read this interesting post from Ms Catherine Lim today on the Aware saga: http://catherinelim.sg/2009/05/06/fallout-of-the-aware-saga-a-letter-to-concerned-parents/ And she wrote the following paragraph… Homosexuality is NOT an abnormality, an illness, an aberration, an evil, an abomination in the eyes of God, etc. This is probably the single most important fact to keep in mind. The research work of scientists such as behavioral psychologists, evolutionary biologists, genetics [....] Continue reading A response to Ms Catherine Lim Yeah, I know everyone’s sick of reading about the AWARE saga in Singapore. Me too. I thought it was all pretty futile and the whole blogosphere has gone nuts about it. See the massive number of blog posts on this one topic, with everyone dishing out their two cents on the matter. In a nutshell, here’s what happened.
