Meeting Mr. Chiam!

21st May 2011
SPP Thank You Potluck Event @ Potong Pasir Blk 108.
Finally I get to meet one of our Singapore Hero,
Mr. Chiam See Tong. :)
I have a few purposes for going for this event.
Firstly, I would like to meet Mr. Chiam in person.
Secondly, I was really hoping to speak to Mr. Benjamin Pwee
or any persons who can allow my friend (Verdy) and I to know more about
volunteering with SPP and how does the various wings works.
Thirdly, I like Potong Pasir, as I frankly feel that it is kind of
an outlier residential estate in Singapore.
I did not get to do what I intended; which was to find out more
from Ben Pwee or get more information which is alright,
everybody seems to be busy mingling. :)

When it was our turn to take a picture with Mr. Chiam,
I was really excited.
I'm not too certain about what to say other than I know that
I have great respect for the man.
(Luckily, Verdy has a few lines to express our gratitude towards him) :)
I believe that Mr. Chiam is a humble and strong-willed guy
who did his best as an opposition leader. :)
A respectable leader to me is one who has an dying love & winning attitude.
Cheers!

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
