green power

i thought there will be no place for plants having moved into the apartment but we ended up adopting plants when friends moving to China and London... and our neighbors were admiring our over night wonders.
we are into rescuing dying plants that the residents throw away and nurture them back to shape - we are all about going green, yeah!

Christmas gathering

a great way to celebrate Christmas was having a meal with some old friends - there were eight families gathered at the Gohs' new home with plenty of food, fun and fellowship.

Merry Christmas

On Christmas Day last year we found ourselves wandering the streets. Everything seemed foreign to us despite the beautiful light up along the main road in the heart of the city.

The boys lamented, “No snow.” “Not Cold.” “Don’t feel like Christmas at all.”

We felt a sense of “loss”, as would anyone in the midst of transition. Whatever we used to do on Christmas Day is all in the past, and the people we’ve come to know and love were all so far away. One thing we know for sure is that we need to start a new family tradition on Christmas Day!

But the true meaning of Christmas will not change despite how displaced we felt that day. The Good News of “A Savior is born” in Luke 2:10 – 12 still brings hope to many who are in despair of life.

We were greatly encouraged by the joint effort of many churches here retelling the Christmas story to the crowd that flocked to see the light up; amongst them were the foreign workers in Singapore.

Are you aware that for every four people living in Singapore today one is a foreigner?
