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

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...

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; #...

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 🧓🏻💛
