2 Sides to a Coin



There is always two sides to a coin,
unless both sides are the same, you'll have officially zero options.
In order for one to comment on something wholeheartedly,
he/she has to have a good understanding of the issue at hand.
I shall not say that a person needs a thorough grip of
any given situation because there's always a degree of grey area in between.

Just take relationships for instance,
a girl may feel connected to a guy through the following possibilities:-
1. First impression,
2. Topics of interest,
3. Similar lifestyle habits,
4. Similar / Extreme differences in family background or culture,
5. Similarities in core values and principles of life,
6. Et cetera(s) (Guy carries a handkerchief - reminds the girl of her Dad)

List above is non-exhaustive.
In point #4, I have typed "Similar / Extreme differences",
let me make a disclaimer here that this is one of the initial traits
that I observed that some of my friends and myself are able to accept
as negotiables.
Either an individual embraces the differences or he/she
falls in the category which reads "Similar".
I believe that no matter how close
physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually,
it is almost impossible to have no hidden aspects between
a person and another.
This is why there is the quotation that says,
"Change is the only constant."
A couple may find it hard to understand
each other over a period of time.
Some people may find it laborious to understand
who they truly are because, not only the internal voices
are speaking to their souls, the external voices
are subconsciously entering their bodies and souls
without their acknowledgement and hence, realisation.

In summary,
though I am a believer of "Right & Wrong" and "Black & White"
there is always some space in between for us to accept a neutral perspective.
(That's when the coin falls onto the ground and
starts rolling about for a while)
This grey region, though misty or cloudy,
allows us as information-absorbing creatures to receive
more raw data and input accordingly.

As for matters of the heart,
I have to say that
we got to hold on to each other in love and faith (when all else fails).

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
