23rd Apr 2011: Eventful Day

Hi,

Today is a pretty eventful day for me. I begin the day volunteering with WWF at ADEX (Diving Expo). It is an incredible experience for me as this is about raising awareness about the endangered and endangering sea creatures. Many of us are probably aware that the sharks population is dangerously threatened, do refer to the following website for more info: Say no to Shark Pledge (http://singapore.panda.org/take_action/sustainable_seafood/say_our_sharks/) Other than the alarming threat to sharks, another area we are concern with are the seafood; certain sea creatures are declining tremendously and we ought to think twice before we consume. This is going to be very tough for me because I love to eat fish but I will try my best to lessen and thus, hoping to create a butterfly effect to influence others positively. Singapore Seafood Guide to sustainable seafood (http://singapore.panda.org/take_action/sustainable_seafood/)

I would really love to go diving someday and hope with all my heart that these creatures are surviving well at where they belong. Not forgetting to mention, I was partnered with a very sweet girl, Durga at the WWF booth and we had lots of fun exploring the whole exhibition and learning from other booths. :)

After that, I went for my 1st ever NDP training. Made a couple of nice people and very interesting formation. :)

Well, guess I'm trying to live like I'm dying; living like there is no tomorrow. In actuality, to live a purpose-driven life is the most important. :)

Alright, everyone have a great day ahead! :D

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...

So I asked Ah Luck whether he needed to have a sip of water. He replied he was fine. After that he said, we were doing was for a better future. He said, "... it is for you young ones who have many years ahead. I am old..." ... "You are important too!" said I. It was a pleasure to serve with the volunteers at the merchandise booth.

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.
