On the MRT towards Bedok Station

Setting: On the MRT towards Bedok Station

Everyday renews your opportunity to make your day a good / bad one. This morning I packed my gym bag ready for a workout session later in the day. Preparation for the things I need for the day caused me to eliminate a reading material. Listening to music banging rhythmically from my headphones vibrating to my 2 eardrums and observing random people, I start to feel jaded. It wasn't the same as yesterday or the day before or any other day.

If you were to turn a page of the "Life of Pampi" backwards, you would realise I was with the one I love; still awaiting for the Townlink bus to get to the interchange at this exact minute - boredom didn't visit me.

For now, the single me is sitting at the centre of the blue section seats, thinking of using this spare time to jot down some random rubbish just to post on facebook.

Oh seriously, c'mon...

Who really wants boredom as a good friend?

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.

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 🧓🏻💛
