Now whilst I used that headline to get your attention, I’m no more fearful of a homosexual as any hetrosexual person. Homo is greek for ’same’ - What I’m getting at is that I’m afraid of everything becoming the same.
On the topic of globalization and racial diversity the great philosopher Russell Peters says “the future [...]

As I sit here in Singapore I’ve come to understand something drastically different about this culture to that of where I grew up.
I really think it comes from the lack of space. Here in Singapore, 80% of the population grows up in government housing - towers of 20+ floors akin to container stacks of apartments [...]

Photography and our Self.

In: Design, Musing

I am quite puzzled by how photography will develop in future. Are we going to need more space to take up all the pictures of things from the past than we have space to experience the present. Are we going to have endless images we’ve created ourselves that we are just going to spend our [...]

One of the main outcomes of this economic down is that everyone is redefining what they value and what they need. We as people had become so overinflated in our personal value as consumers that we had to reach a point that the obese belly of our economic system would trip itself up. A society [...]

Fire!

In: Faith, Musing

One day I went to the shop to get some water. Whilst I was taking a look around it’s many aisles and shelves I was alarmed when I saw someone start a fire in the corner of a shop. I’ve been burnt before and know the consequences of such arson. I immediately began yelling “Fire”. [...]

Upon a Desert Hilltop

In: Musing

In the face of this world’s graft and injustice
I’ll praise You
Through shit and sorrow
You’re still greater than anything that of this world
Your authority is supreme in my impotence
Your justice is peerless to my corruption
With you there’s nothing to expose because you know it all
I know her approval won’t save me
I know his acceptance won’t either
I [...]

The Renewer

In: Musing

I’m so thankful that I serve a creator who’s greatest delight is taking what was once barren, desolate and neglected, and to then restore them beyond their first creation. What was once a place of shame and depression is now smarting with beauty and radiance. Although such amazing transformation is never forced upon the recipient, [...]

Anguish of the victim

In: Faith, Musing

Dear Father, I have experienced the selfishness of others as they’ve sought to fulfill their insecurities through the lives of others. I’d dearly ask that you wont allow these sins to go on unpunished. For it is not vengance I seek but I long to see their cycle broken. Lord stand for the oppressed and [...]

Oh how fallen we are

In: Musing

My creator, I come to you in petition once more.
I have cast my eyes upon this world and again have been filled with sorrow. For all we strive for and celebrate is yet but a glimmer of the world you concieved. Alongside your beauty and elegant design we have sought to build our own and [...]

Akin for redemption

In: Musing

My heart has been lain open
I’m staring my brokeness in the face
How could I be so proud to think that I could build your kingdom without you
How could I think I could love without it flowing from you
I am fallen and I can’t understand it
All I need to realise is that I’m nothing but dust [...]
