A visit to Seremban

Joan and I travelled down to Seremban yesterday on Sivin's request, to help with the week long course he's giving on Spiritual Formation and Discipleship in Youth Ministry.

It was a good experience; we were 'interviewed' by Sivin, and later fielded questions from his students. Along the way we talked about the impact and influence of d'NA, our experiences in church and the school Christian Fellowship, and the roles played by mentors, parents and friends in our walk with God.

Just before leaving, we popped by the STM library. It's quite a nice place, and we noticed that its copy of Eugene Peterson's The Message desperately wanted wear. Looks like the translation isn't a hot reference source for seminarians!

None of the following is true, although it was mentioned during our session: Mr Sherman Kuek lectures in the B.Th. (Bachelor of The Heresy) course at STM, and is willing to publish the entries on TMsquared via his company, SK Publications.


Being at STM brought back memories from some five months ago. This year, it'll be d'NA Stage 1 for Joan and perhaps RP2 (Rewind, Pause, Play: School Leavers' Camp) for me.


While awaiting the Komuter, Joan and I saw this cat in the railway station. It was huge, and kept giving us that sneering, sideways glance.

We were in the first coach on the journey to Seremban (she hopped onto the train at Nilai), and the last coach (or so we thought) on the way back. It was only much later (at the Seputeh station, to be precise) that I realised we were actually on the first coach, as the journey back was in the opposite direction.
