Well, Jonah is finally in Nineveh spreading his cheerful message of 40 days more and Nineveh will be overthrown. And an amazing thing happens. Instead of being picked up and thrown out the city gates by the city guards, everyone from the king on down believes him and calls for a fast. This...

It could be helpful to see that although there are times I say the wrong things, or do the wrong things, or even doing the right things at the wrong time - so I have to wait for a bus longer, think of idea longer and do more rubbish - I still face them, without fear. 'Oh, my definition of the...
So, I finished my first year of university a couple of months back. For the most part it's been fantastic - there have been some irksome moments, but on the whole it's been as I expected. I've passed the first year, the second is where the actual work starts (first year doesn't count...

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. - Winston Churchill Power is the ability of one's ability to control its environment, including its behaviour to control the other entitles, as defined in Wikipedia (actually, Greiner & Schein)...

I feel that for countries with less autism resources, smaller autism groups, especially those led by autistic people themselves, with the national autism organization, whenever possible, in the framework of both equality, and the focus to maximizing ASDs' potentials, should do more good than...

Most people wear skinny jeans, a skinny tee and nice suede shoes, in where I live. They can also wear shorts, singlets and slippers. I don't like them all - I like a baseball hat, a comfortable T-shirt that's clean, track pants or baggy jeans, hooded sweatshirt when it's cold, and sneakers...

It is also troublesome to have two ASDs being close together, and becoming either best of friends and worst of enemies. Because the more they know each other, through their common problems and struggles, the more they can also potentially hurt each other. An ASD, whom I shall not name, did...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiMRyd06N6E I got to know AspiesCentral, through Ian's emai. Dreams do indeed come true! Just believe. And I'm glad the Newcastle United logo is indeed that Geordie in Singapore - me. Living through at least seven similar forums, I'd seen no other...

I speak in whatever accents I can 'find', so long as I master it. Depending on the person, I speak in different accents. Not dialects - I do not really have the opportunity to really stay in any given place loooong enough to learn different regional variants of languages. Just accents. I'm...

Today we tackled the big fish (pun intended). Apparently the original Hebrew term is vague enough that it could be any large sea creature, although my edition of the Tanakh has no problem translating it as fish. And yes, though he really didn't push the point, if you believe the Bible is the...

Something that baffles me: Why my parents decided to move to Malaysia? They claim that they were priced out of the property market - that's true - but why can't they be content living in at least a home? Don't they remember moving here, because of a lack of employment and education...
The other day the subject of movies came up in small group discussion at church. Apparently, going to see R-rated movies (unless it is Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, which I consider pornography and won't see) is something a real Christian doesn't do. No, it wasn't stated outright as a...

I have three pet topics: race, religion and sex. Too bad, I can't talk about race openly in my home country, because my race happens to be a drop in the ocean of other races in the region I'm in. I also can't talk about religion, because there are different religions my ethnic group...
I am thinking about the song we sang last Sunday in church to kick off the theme of God's love and mercy as demonstrated in the Book of Jonah. I can't think of the name of it right off, maybe some of you might be familiar with it. It goes something like this, "He loves me, loves like a...

I just made a casual observation amongst my friends and I found one jarring similarity: what your parents do affect us more than what we think we can do. I know an accountant whose son, having no other interests other than music, choosing accountancy as his career path. I also know someone...

I think I have to tell life as it is. I have to admit, if I bring too much money, I will feel a little scared when I don't carry them... I just have those vibes for no reason. I also have to admit, I am becoming more of a miser... Btw I just thought of Singapore's 5 million lottery...

When autistic people are diagnosed with DSM-V, media will most likely focus on autistic people and deprive autistic individuals of hope and justice. Once labeled or even identified for possible autism-like behavior, autistic people will lose the passion to do the best they can, and just live in...
I haven't been on my computer for several days because of the heat wave. My house has no air conditioning, so I spent most of my evenings underneath my remaining shade tree with a glass of cold ice tea and Ken Follett's new book, "Fall of Giants", about Europe during the First World War. I...
