Amazing Race 14

I didn't watch the entire season of The Amazing Race 14 but the finale was truly amazing... It was tear jerking. A few drops of tears managed to make their way out from my eyes.

I understood how frustrating it can be when you are the early bird and that you are full of confidence and yet at the very last stage, you had to fall & fail yourself.
While watching, i saw Luke, the deaf guy trying endlessly to replace the last 2 surfboards. He started fast, however, almost to the end, he just couldn't pick out the correct surfboards.
in the end, the winning team who consisted of Victor & Tammy proceeded to the finishing point while Margie & Luke together with the cheerleaders team were struggling. Margie decided to ask Luke to help Jaime picked out the 1st surfboard. After Jaime was done with the road block, she helped Luke checked all his answers.
Jaime & Luke who did the road block was inevitably disappointed with themselves & blaming their respective team failure on themselves.
Margie, comforted Luke and frankly i really think Luke did an excellent job though he really can be like a little boy at times.
Upon returning to the cheering crowd from all the eliminated participants & winners, Phil Keoghan, the host ask what Luke had to say to his mom and he signalled that he was glad to have Margie as his mother. That not many deafs are fortunate enough to have a mom who signs.
I'm proud of both Margie & Luke. :)
Love,
Pampi

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

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...

*peace in outer planet*

for days my life on outer planet was blissful, i hope that's not too big a word to use. all i do is eat, work, read and sleep. sounds awesome. yea, it was. even met up with people i really haven't seen in a while. glad that they still look so much recognizable. their hairstyle didn't even change one bit. minutes turn to hours, and to days, and to weeks. tell you something great. my parents are lovely. my relationship with them is good. one of the best things God has given me. i'm undeniably playful and full of curiosity which lead to some pretty unnecessary exploration, experiences of the dumb whatsoever and yet they just let me be. they know that i'll be back i assume. somehow. probably i underestimated their understanding of me. as i grow up. my amount of allies dip lower. all i can say is, i think i did or am still trying to do something about it. alrighty, bottom line: i'm fine. just to update. ;p
