Scissored Photograph (2009.04.22, 00:20hrs)

Deep in thought, she blinked her eyes. She was familiar with the angst she has always felt when people tried to intrude her life. She was born a private and selectively selfish person. Sometimes you would even mistaken her as a generous soul, other times you wonder do you actually knew her. Her shivering hand held up a meticulously scissored photograph, leaving a voluminous echo to the subjects of the picture. What appeared on the glossy surface were two sincere smiling faces; one was a 21 year old her. Undeniably the queen of the party. She remained almost stationary and glared ferociously; with the exception of a few strands of her long fizzy hair dancing to the westward wind.

Anyone entering into the danger zone of her life has always made her felt deeply disrespected. She would never allow nosy parkers to even watch her play a game of Sudoku, let alone doing something to her picture.

Pissed, she opted to endure silence. Flight over fight. Arousing an awareness could reveal more about her which would be better off with inaction.

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 🧓🏻💛

Our Second Child

15th June 2023:  It's 2.22am and I am lying in the hospital bed. I am having an ectopic pregnancy (wherein my fertilised egg implants in my fallopian tube, not uterus so there is no chance of survival). I was sensitive to my body so I only managed to fully celebrate my long-awaited 2nd pregnancy for 2 days before I had some semblance of what was happening.  Momentarily I questioned God but after grieving somewhat satisfactorily, I was able to cling onto the characters of God and acknowledged that God allowed this to happen to me for a reason. I may not understand why, but He promised to go through this with me. During this season, I kept contemplating the story of Job - how he endured and it gave me a lot of strength. I always find it fascinating how he could say, "... Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" More than that, my preacher reminded me how much it pains God to give and take away from me.  In summary, I had a dose of methotrexate administer...
