Legacy

We have been talking about legacy during the bible study discussion and daily conversation. We have little idea about this concept until we studied More Than Money. What is the legacy that we, as an individual, a family member, a worker, a servant and a citizen ought to be?
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
There were 3 things Paul left behind as his legacy: holy, righteous and blameless. These were his characters. Sounds difficult for me to attain these.....

Paul also left behind his relationship: encouraging, comforting and urging of others to live lives worthy of God. Have we done these? We suppose to encourage one another on daily basis, and all the more as the Day is approaching.
For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy. 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20
Not forgetting to share what made him happy - the thought of joy and celebration in the presence of the Lord for those whom he loved, that had live lives worthy of God (a consequence of the second legacy I would say).

So what is your legacy, that you will want to pass on to your children, or your friends, family members, colleagues? Wealth, possession, business inheritance, character, love or something else?

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.  In-flight meal of ANA airline Male-only capsule hotel with open hot spring You can browse manga for free after soaking
