Cooking In My Kennel

September 30, 2010 My story

It is common for a journalist to be compared to a dog. After all, what do we do? We sniff. We poke our noses into everything, especially things that aren’t ours to touch.

When I was trying to persuade Jing Wen to return to church, I used all sorts of methods. I tried to bribe her with homemade banana muffins. I offered to buy her dinner if she would go to bible group with me after. I prepared a 5-course feast for the bible group and sent her [...]
