Welcome to PlaaPlaaPlaa!

So you may be wondering why PlaaPlaaPlaa? What are those strange fish symbols above? What is ปลา and what does it mean? In short, this is a blog site, so surely there's going to be plenty of rambling. Unfortunately BlahBlahBlah was already taken, so I had to settle for the 'Plaa'. But there's actually more to it then just ramblings. The first fish symbol is actually a Christian symbol meaning ICTHUS - a greek acronymn which means "Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour". The other strange letters you see in the last fish is actually the thai word for fish which funnily enough is pronounced "Plaa". So when you put it all together, this site is going to be my ramblings in telling people about how Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour in Thailand (with plenty of good stories about food in between). Happy reading.

Christmas Presentation 2012

For the Grace Church Christmas celebrations, we got to put on a special christmas performance with the kids from the Sunday School as well as a few other older people to help. We were really keen to get everyone to be thinking not about the manger or the cross, but about the person who lay in the manger and the person who died upon the cross. The kids did an awesome job. If you want to check out the action, you can click below and view it on Youtube.


The final part of the presentation was a song item of O Holy Night (where everyone ended up joining in anyway). Not sure how it happened exactly, but we had 2 foreigners trying to sing Thai and one Thai friend trying to sing in tune :) Scary part for me was having to kick off the song with a solo in Thai, admittedly I got first pick of which lines I wanted to sing - so I picked the easiest, which ended up being the first two lines. All in all, I think it went well. Was awesome to be able to sing with Denise and my good friend P'Fon.
