Kopi Talk

Ever wonder what coffeeshop uncles and taxi drivers will talk about at the coffeeshops if they are Christ believers? What will they lament, complain or share about? How will they approach the issues of family, work and friends over a cup of kopi or teh? How would it look like?

You see, if you are not from Singapore, we have this place called the coffeeshop, where people will generally gather to have their lunch and dinner. Late in the night, you see people gather for a beer or something. Generally, a common scene is to see retired men and women gathering to talk about anything under the sun. And in Singapore, I can be sure almost all of them are not Christians. And yet, what would they have talked about? What are the kind of issues if we Christians decide to gather at the coffee table to discuss? How would we encourage each other?

This will be the series of kopi talk that I will be having with my LG. We will talk and discuss about issues that we generally don't talk about in a causal setting. We will emulate the spirit of the coffeeshop uncles and try to talk as they do, to share and complain openly about the pertinent issues of the day.

And so if you think there are issues that should be talked about in a coffeeshop, let me know or drop me a note.
