C’mon. There got to be a website that’s like LinkedIn for the clergyman. You know. You go up there. Tick on the box “Anglican”, put “Moore College” under education, and put “MTS” and “student ministry” under experience, click on Search, and voila! Print out the list and off you go to the next parish representatives’ [...]

I was having fun coming up with 2 ads for FOCUS Church Camp 2008 for the FOCUS Mandarin Church over the last few weeks. I think the highlight has been playing a song parody of 對面的女孩看過來 (任賢齊/阿牛) last Friday/Sunday. The idea came up one evening. Since I am selling the church camp, I want a [...]

The big dip on 5 March was when the talks changed from [...]

Okay. This is a rant. Why emails sent in the FOCUS mailing lists have to be colourful lately? Things with big fonts, lots of sometimes-quite-disoriented colours, half-baked sentences aligned left, right and centre across the page, and words that resembles advertisement – these are sent to the FOCUS mailing lists with around 200 to 300 [...]
