19th June 2011:

Found a new area I like to chillax @ Arab Street.  Spent some time catching up with my former colleague.  After terminating my service to my former employer, to once again meet up is an indication that this colleague can be more than just an office colleague, a friend.  



Tennessee Williams once said that, "life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose."  I always believe that friendships are very important and the close friends you choose to keep in your inner circle is paramount to your personal growth and development.  I do try my best to be of good company, influence and support to my close ones. 
 
When an individual makes a statement such as, "I have friends from different walks of life", I believe this person is someone who hardly discriminates or put aside his/her inner biasness.  Having typed-written above, though I am someone who selects friends, I would like to add that I also attempt to make friends who needs me.  As iterated in the lyrics of Spirit touch your church, as a Christian "I want to care for others, like Jesus cares for me."

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 🧓🏻💛
