Sometimes...

Sometimes I wish I can feel jovial everyday...
Like today, I wish I feel more happy-go-lucky, but I'm not. There's no particular reason, I'm just feeling alright.

I desire my life to be more like the Sims. Having many short-term goals. Once achieved, I shall move on to the next goal in mind. However, life for me is not as the virtual reality I want it to be. By nature, I would reckon that I am a highly ambitious individual who wants to do what I always have in mind. The thing about being successful is to be persistent. Never give up. Why, in my opinion are most people not as successful as they want themselves to be is because people are impatient. Just like me! I constantly do not want this negative trait of myself to affect me from reaching my goals in life, that is why I frequently read motivational books.

I believe that I can be a successful person if I set my goals right and follow through, by taking all necessary actions.
Another trait about me is I realise I'm not a believer of luck. Some people like to call it fate or destiny.
Believers of God might say "God planned all these." Yes, I'm a Christian and I do believe that all things are God-planned. But additionally, I also think one should use their full potential within their abilities to do the good things they want.
To make myself coherent and not contradictory, in my mind, 80% is up to us, human beings, 20% is up to luck/fate/destiny. I also believe that God has intended to place good things within our reach, it is up to us to reach out for that star.
Maybe you agree, maybe you don't. I just don't like to blame any shortcomings on luck.
Oh well, hope you had fun reading. See ya around soon!
xoxo,
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
