*photo-looking*


was looking through the ex - cell prom photos which were taken about 2 years ago. i had funky short hair. i was more cheerful. i was even more naive. i was younger. i was a better person. smiling and glowing.

~

within a short 2 years, so much have changed.
i have long hair.
i've become more pessimistic.
i'm not so naive.
i'm officially an adult.
i am a worse person.
still smiling but some say ungenuine.

only heaven knows what becomes of me 2 years from now.
if there are any prerequisites to be taken to prevent me from becoming a horrid me, i would.
colours seem to be fading from my life.
i don't see any purpose.
i know there is.
God is.
i just don't feel it anymore.
all i wanna do is to have quality time with my loved ones, learn new things, earn, spend and save currencies. not forgetting some hours to myself.

ah lian. wild.
look at these 2 adjectives.
do they describe me?
my colleagues have used that on me.
i'm a little affected.
though only a few made that comment.
and in response, i ejaculated, "which part of me?"
then my male colleague remarked, "girls who wear toe rings are really wild."
i'm like duh. =I
do i even speak or behave like an ah lian?
here i must justify, i don't condemn ah lians, ah huays, minas, ah bengs, ah sengs etc.
the point is i think people hang on tightly to their visuality to form their impressions.
i don't really care about those negative comments because i didn't do anything against myself and most certainly against others.
another thing is i appreciate their opinions anyway. you can't change how people perceive you quickly.
perhaps most humans are judgemental.
i'm judgemental and critical too, i must admit.
however, my impressions can change. the person just have to prove it. and of course i must give a chance. sometimes i'm just too critical. i either take a longer time or don't bother.

i know my weakness is somehow more prominent these days.
like my blunt choice of words.
my indifferentness.
my quietness.
forgive me if you received any of the above treatment.
i'm tired of being good.
just gimme a break.
i hope i'll revert.
if i don't after some time.
just throw me back what you received and i presume i'll be sorry.

take care all. i still love ya'll. =)

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
