About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

Pilgrimage to France - in the footsteps of St Louise Marie de Monfort

On 30th May 2015 till 12 Jun 2015, my wife and I went on a pilgrimage in France with some Monfort brothers and those working in the various Monfortian schools.

I'll not say much about St Louise Marie de Monfort as you can search for information about him from the Internet.  What I'll show here are some photos and what is my takeaway.

To me, St Louise Marie de Monfort showed what is essential to be a Saint - make personal choice to be faithful to the baptismal promise in one's daily life.  There will be difficulties and challenges in life but by making up one's mind to be faithful (which only human can), one shows forth the glory of God in one's humanity.

Being a saint is to be truly human - simple but not easy.

The Brothers of Monfort and the Sisters of Daughters of Wisdom were really wonderful hosts.  We also want to thank Fr. Raja who came down from Rome to be the Spiritual Director of the pilgrimage.
