fireplace: How do I know that I love God when I don’t feel anything?

It was a question that came up during our last Headstart meeting. Or well, something like it, anyway. It’s probably been paraphrased quite differently through the many days it’s been running through my head.

For some reason, I remembered the song “Do you love me?” from Fiddler on the Roof.







(Golde) Do I love him? For twenty-five years I've lived with him, fought him, starved with him. Twenty-five years my bed is his. If that's not love, what is?
(Tevye) Then you love me?

hitRECord.org - an interesting collaborative site

Yuin recently introduced me to this cool collaborative site: hitRECord.org.

It's probably been around for ages. Hah. But well, better late than never.



What it is:

Baaaasically, people post random artsy stuff, whether it's a video, picture, drawing, writing, etc... and then other people get inspired and post other random artsy stuff, citing their resources (i.e. the prompt or collaboration or or post or other stuff on the site that inspired them) and this makes other people get inspired and p...

This addiction may very well beggar me

So, the thing about being a reader, is really not having enough time to read, and yet having countless books to delve into.

See, there was this sale. Or actually, not really a sale, but a cheap book fair/event/thing. And I got all these lovely books in front.

Besides,...

I realize I've been posting a lot of promotional stuff lately - book launches, book reviews and the like - but not much else. Well, here's a bit of an update as to what i've been up to both on a personal front as well as um well, the more writerly stuff. 





I've got a new website! If you've been around for a bit, you might have noticed that I've changed things around this blog recently. This was done mainly so that it isn't such a far cry from what my new website looks like. Pop on b...

So the other day, I made a new facebook writer friend via another facebook writer friend, and his book sounded interesting, and so here it is. Just helping them spread the word!

(P/S I'm not sure if the one-stop link works because it comes up with a "Kindle Titles are not available in Malaysia" notice, but all the others do.)

Not all who wander are lost, and all that #fridayflash

Fingers scrabbling against the wall. Reaching, pulling, but never quite able to find purchase against the tight ropes around her wrists. She lay still as the sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor.

“Not here, not now, not here, not now,” she whispered, eyes squeezed shut. There was a long rattling at the door before it creaked open. She felt her heart sink. The long silence was unnerving. Cautiously, she peeked at the door.

Silhouetted in the doorway was a hulk of a man, leaning in, his...
