After 3 years... Resurrection!

This is my old blog, resurrected. Mai luan chu seh is back!

This was the original name of my first blog. I closed it down to start hastenministries.blogspot.com. But as I evaluate it, I realized that the standard I've set is too high.

Look at my blog title and header:

He who has ears, let him hear?

May all who hear be enriched, edified, and encouraged?

God help me to be true to His Word, and to my own words?

If it's not pompous, then it's pretentious. If it's not pretentious, then its expectation is unrealistic.

I thought it better to revert back to my original blog. With a new look.

Why mai luan chu seh?

For the less informed, it means "don't simply shoot" in Hokkien.

Once, a friend of a friend was playing an aircraft simulator game. Wywy Wonderspace, above Sunshine Square (It's no longer there already). He was simply using his ammo. He claimed the machine said "Mai luan chu seh! Mai luan chu seh!" Wow! Gaming technology had automatic mutli-lingual functions, even from back then? You mean, when you sit on the machine, it can know if you know Hokkien? Cool!

That same friend's sister also sang in a church choir during one Christmas. During her solo part, she sang "my life to save..." But it sounded like "maaai luan choo seh..."

Yah. And so, Mai Luan Chu Seh is back.
