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 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
