6th May 2011: Photos from Pre-election Day

GE2011 has been a truly memorable experience for me.
Prior to nomination day, I have been trying to find out
which opposition party and the candidates
who will be involved.
I believe that everything happens for a reason and every decision made
should be a responsible one.
In order to make an informed decision,
one has to know the options, understand the issues
and search for the best possible solution.
Of course I have to make a disclaimer that
there is no guarantee that your decision is the
best or correct choice.
I am happy to have researched before I decided
to volunteer with NSP and I'm grateful for
the friends I have made, knowledge that I have gained and
experience I will not trade anything for.

If you have been reading my previous few blog entries,
I would like to update you that I have emailed to
Mr. Masagoes Zulkifli again this week.
Hopefully he will respond to me within 3 - 4 months?
Thereafter, I will write him another email to remind
him if he has overlooked.
In the meantime, the likelihood of attending
Meet the People Session by Tampines GRC (PAP) is on my cards.
My purpose is to understand what are their plans
for Tampines and the aspects that our 5 MPs are involved in.
Personally, my objective is to be well-informed and as the
role of a concerned citizen, I want to get to know the story from
both sides (PAP, the ruling party & the opposition party).

I do not agree that life is fair and answerable to everyone.
But I believe that everyone should be accountable to
themselves and the people whom they are responsible for.

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; #...

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 🧓🏻💛
