Last Sunday we were sitting around in "small group" watching a video on the Holy Land and the subject came up about the conquest of the Promised Land as described in Joshua. The video's narrator made much of the fact that the Israelites did not completely exterminate the original inhabitants as...

Yesterday we returned to the Book of Acts, chapter 17. Paul and his companions are running around Greece, getting into trouble with the synagogue officials, and just generally stirring up excitement everywhere they go. Definitely not a guy you want coming to your hometown if you like peace and...
(This is a slightly modified version of something I posted on Spectrumville) Today is the one-year anniversary (or "aspieversary" if you like) of the day that I got my semi-official "you can take it or leave it" AS diagnosis (I followed a somewhat unusual path to getting my diagnosis that...

This week amid storm and earthquake they unveiled the Dr. Martin Luther King statue in Washington. Although the formal dedication will have to wait, I am wondering if this was the great man's way of looking down on us and sending his approval. Certainly while he was alive, Dr. King sent...

Well, the church ladies sure had an interesting experience with their Vacation Bible Camp. I kind of wish now I had taken time off work to be there. But on the other hand, maybe it's best I didn't. I think it was about the second or third day they were gathering the children around them and...

Apparently there wasn't enough interest in the Answers In Genesis outing, because nothing more has been said about it. So we are moving on to other, less controversial (in my opinion at least) things. Whew! Anyway, I really believe the Young Earth Creationists/Intelligent Design crowd is...
Well, the gauntlet has now been thrown down, so to speak. We shall see what shall happen next. What happened is this: There is an Answers in Genesis seminar coming up next month and people from my church are putting out feelers to see if there is enough interest in going. I received the...

I have a dilemma and I don't really know how to solve it without hurting people. While I genuinely like the people I have met at this church, I feel that the longer I go the more I will feel like I am operating under false pretenses. I wish there were some way out. I have been going about...

Well, I have given up looking for a house. The situation regarding the trailer park seems to have stabilized somewhat; the bank has it now and has turned it over to a management company. If they come through and start counting heads I think there may be some wailing and gnashing of teeth as...

I think being a successful 'me' in school and being a successful 'me' on the streets are really, vastly different. If I am really successful on the streets, in my own definition, I'd really be what I want others to remember me: fresh. This means, at least in the time 2003 (when hyphy...

http://www.aspiescentral.com/blogs/geordie/229-presidents-scholarship-involved-autism-work-boon-bane.html My articles are always for a niche audience: Singaporeans who care. It's ok if my previous articles don't garner enough people to read: for those who understand its contexts will feel...

This is just something I do, when I am feeling out of inspiration. Well, I'd it all planned out, as a matter of fact. I'll wake up in the morning, post on Facebook: I'd been doing well. Had great time with friends and family. Geordie Then I'll grab all the money I have. Wear a Tigers...

It is known that American universities are the best in the world. They have a mix of private and publicly-funded institutions - which, with incentives to raise research output, will attract more resources to expand individual universities' comparative advantages in their research areas. I am...

I have no money, but I want to buy a home in the States now. While I am ok with owning properties in inner-city Ireland, inner-city Britain, western Sydney (the 'ghetto' of Sydney, Australia), western Auckland and inner-city Canada - thing is, I don't have money. So by right, I shouldn't even...
The man known for loping alongside the pop star in frayed baggy jeans and tank tops knows is a "laid-back guy," he says, "not too complicated. Kind of quiet." He isn't apologizing for his old look, no way, although he admits he did overdose on floppy velour sweat suits. "I had about 20 or...

Visiting Sungei Lembing's Rainbow Waterfall This is the waterfall that I visited for almost a week. My parents and I went to visit the waterfall and we had great fun there. We went deep into the forests, before we finally reached the waterfall at 10am, when we could see a spectrum...
So what am I exactly? In an Aspie gathering, I feel overstretched and overworked. I used to think, well, I am an Aspie... I got a high IQ, I have some personal issues. Your Aspie score: 14 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 178 of 200 You are very likely neurotypical I...

So what is the model minority? They refer to a minority group, which can be racial, religious or ethnic, and that they achieved a higher degree of success than the average person. The model minority in Singapore, my home country, would be the Chinese Christians. Chinese make up three...

People ask me when I wear baggy clothing, do you listen to hip hop or rap? Even though I do, I say no. I say I'm buying these for a big-szed friend. Oh, that's MY ego. :) I do not feel that I can control the outcome of everything. Not even how I carry my clothes. Well, that's just...
