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.

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 have to say I seldom give because I

Pledge "No" to Shark Fin Soup

Something to share... The Sharks died for you but you only consume their fins. I've pledge not to eat/drink Shark Fin Soup since 2009. I believe that raising awareness of the source of this delicacy will propel more people to make a conscious effort to stop their consumption, especially during Chinese wedding banquets. Yeah, I know that some of us might think that not much can be done and it is essentially a waste of food. However, why not think about it this way - when there is a drop in demand, there will be lesser restaurants/hotels serving this dish. Every effort counts and when it becomes a collective effort, we can begin to see a positive change. Additionally, I believe to affirm a conscious effort and remain faithful is to take a step forward to take a pledge. http://www.wwf.sg/take_action/sustainable_seafood/say_our_sharks/take_the_pledge/ Pam
