Internal Memos

An interesting question popped up in the National Church Survey (or something, something) on Sunday.It was something along the lines of "How willing are you to discuss personal problems with members of your congregation?" and there was another which went "How open is your church to openly discussing personal problems?" 

The gist of it was "How much do you trust your fellow church-mates?" and it likely then draws some conclusions as to the health of the Church and its congregation. Interesting to see how this data is eventually presented to Churches and how the Church uses it going ahead.

Clocks of differing speeds

We have 5 clocks in the apartment, something interesting considering that this place is barely 70sqm. Our place is so tiny that two of the clocks are on opposing walls. It wasn't really meant to be like this, but a mistake at IKEA led to us having too many clocks and yeah.. When you have as little furniture as we had, you'll put anything up.

The interesting thing about these clocks is that they run in two separate people-zones; Ja time and Sheng time. If the clock was set by Sheng,  it would be 10mins fast. If me, it will be within half a minute of the actual time (Unless your really patient, you can't control the seconds on $5 IKEA clocks)

I like to think that this is a simple sign of how much a sanctuary the physical boundaries of my room are. The world moves at an accelerated pace, whether or not i want to keep time. But in my own space, I'm right where i want to be, when i want to be.
