Understanding Christian-motivated Homophobia in Singapore (2006 essay)

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by Sam Ho that originally appeared at Sam's thoughts.

Would you like to read more than 5,000 words? I'm sure you do, because it has a sexy topic.

Below is an essay I wrote for a sociology class in 2006 (I think), which would later inspire me to write an Honours Thesis on sexual minority representation in the Straits Times. The essay is so imperfect and (Read more...)

Don't you just hate it when there's a lot of things going in your mind, but you just cannot express it convincingly for others to understand because you're limited by the vocabulary that you possess?

malaysia, the land of the insecure people

Monday, April 1st, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by Luke Phang that originally appeared at lukeyishandsome(dot)com.

Surprise surprise! It would seem that the largest church in Southeast Asia now is no longer in either Singapore or the Philipines or even Indonesia but rather in Malaysia, a small little country where the majority of the population are forced to embrace Islam since birth and not allowed to leave th (Read more...)

uplifting music

This post is a reprint of a post by Luke Phang that originally appeared at lukeyishandsome(dot)com.

I've been listening to songs again. Something that I have not done in a long long time. It's amazing how songs can speak to you during your darkest moments, lifting you through with their lyrics. I listen mostly to Christian themed music, but most of them can be interpreted in a neutral way. It's j (Read more...)

the lifeboat theory

Monday, February 25th, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by Luke Phang that originally appeared at lukeyishandsome(dot)com.



I've been reading Donald Miller again, a Christian writer whom I've admired since secondary school. The reason why I'm mentioning him in this post is because of how a certain theory that he proposed in the book Searching For God Knows What seem to coincide with what has been happening recentl (Read more...)

the question of free will pt.2

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by Luke Phang that originally appeared at lukeyishandsome(dot)com.

In the last post, which I did not finish because I was too sleepy at the moment, I briefly mentioned on how free will seemed to be an illusion and that how life itself was sort of deterministic since the start because a lot of our life chances are to a large part determined by our genes that was gi (Read more...)

S377A – don’t get it

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by Sam Ho that originally appeared at Sam's thoughts.

You know what? I don't get it.

A prominent member from a religious community has commented on Section 377A. Rather, it's Pastor Lawrence Khong who wrote a statement to former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. I'm sure those keywords will be picked up by the Prime Minister's Office's team, and they'll be (Read more...)

life of 6

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

This post is a reprint of a post by Luke Phang that originally appeared at lukeyishandsome(dot)com.

I've been thinking about religion again. Or God more specifically. I guess when you are busy rotting at home with too much time to spare, your brain would naturally want to indulge in some form of mental exercise. Life of Pi, the book that I'm currently reading, also helped add to this current them (Read more...)
