There is a time for everything.

I am a greedy person, yes for I try to acquire as much knowledge as possible everyday...

Things I do to gain knowledge

1. Listen to the radio;
2. Watch the news/documentaries/shows etc (not daily);
3. Read The Straits Times (not regular for weekend);
4. Read online news/reviews/gossips etc; and
5. Read my reading material of the day (any [text]book, novel, magazine, graphic novel too at times etc).

Similarly for my lifestyle, I like to have one that is enriching.  I believe that one should make good use of the time that God has given to each of us. 

In the bible, it is mentioned that,
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens: " Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)


Knowledge is everywhere.  It doesn't need to be something significantly important/practical; it can be on any topic -- movies, swimsuit models, celebrities' scandal etc.  Well, at the least it has to interest you!

What I have been doing lately

1. Working;
2. Doing my part-time studies;
3. Giving tuition lessons;
4. Volunteering;
5. Keeping in touch with my close friends;
6. Socialising; and
7. Dating my boyfriend.
*not in sequence of level of importance*
Sometimes I get so busy and I lose sight of my goals.  It is vital to give myself a daily reminder:

1. Set alarms to remind myself of the goals to be accomplished throughout the day; and
2. Paste goals lists (at my office desk on the desk divider and in my bedroom cork board).


I haven't been doing well in my studies, not that I expected to do well; just that I could have put in more effort.  If I were to work hard at a task, it does not matter if I did not do well.  It matters whether I am proud of it at all.  To clarify, I do not aim low but I aim according to my capabilities. 


I am in the process of re-prioritizing my goals.  Hope things can get settle soon.  I just need to work out a formula.

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...

Our Second Child

15th June 2023:  It's 2.22am and I am lying in the hospital bed. I am having an ectopic pregnancy (wherein my fertilised egg implants in my fallopian tube, not uterus so there is no chance of survival). I was sensitive to my body so I only managed to fully celebrate my long-awaited 2nd pregnancy for 2 days before I had some semblance of what was happening.  Momentarily I questioned God but after grieving somewhat satisfactorily, I was able to cling onto the characters of God and acknowledged that God allowed this to happen to me for a reason. I may not understand why, but He promised to go through this with me. During this season, I kept contemplating the story of Job - how he endured and it gave me a lot of strength. I always find it fascinating how he could say, "... Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" More than that, my preacher reminded me how much it pains God to give and take away from me.  In summary, I had a dose of methotrexate administer...

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 🧓🏻💛
