5 years, 3 months and 8 days

Hi (to the few faithful & silent) readers,

Apologies that my blog has been truly boring (not reflective of who I am... :p).

Thank you for reading my blog. I have been blogging since 25th June 2006. Therefore, my relationship with this blog has been 5 years, 3 months and 8 days long. It has been a while yeah?

A lot has changed since 2006. Let's look at some of the changes I identified.

Changes I Identified (what I can think of)...

1. Continuation of education (Honestly, I did not think I will return to school since I'm a generally lazy person).

2. Re-entered into a romantic relationship with a former boyfriend (It's ancient history now. Nonetheless it was inevitable, I'm glad I moved on and became better & stronger!).

3. Experiences from jobs of different nature (Totally worth my time!).

4. Be employed in the same job for more than a year (Yay! Considering that I'm easily bored once unmotivated and unentertained... I have done it twice now!).

5. Met people that changed my life (Turning points in my life to realise my goals).

6. Identified the goals I want to achieve for most part of my life (This includes my constant conscious effort).

7. Participated in more voluntary activities/events for causes I support.

8. Give to causes I believe in.

9. Have a different take on romantic relationships (I'm not sure is this good or bad but I've became a more skeptical person).

10. Now enjoys decorating my room.

11. Drinks much more coffee.

12. More aware of money I spent.

13. More positive and hopeful.

14. Much more politically aware.

15. More open to alternative ideas (To a certain extent, I would qualify who I was as a bias person. Not that now I'm not. It is just that I make more effort to listen).

Etc...

What Hasn't Changed (what I can think of)?

1. I still love God.

2. I still love my family and close ones deeply.

3. I still enjoy daydreaming (Yes, my lower primary school form teacher actually type-written in my reportcard that I seem to be constantly doing so).

4. I am still pretty much headstrong.

5. I still can't be sure who I am going to marry, whether I will have kids, how long will I be on this planet and the list goes on...

Hope you had fun reading... Have a nice day!

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

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...

*peace in outer planet*

for days my life on outer planet was blissful, i hope that's not too big a word to use. all i do is eat, work, read and sleep. sounds awesome. yea, it was. even met up with people i really haven't seen in a while. glad that they still look so much recognizable. their hairstyle didn't even change one bit. minutes turn to hours, and to days, and to weeks. tell you something great. my parents are lovely. my relationship with them is good. one of the best things God has given me. i'm undeniably playful and full of curiosity which lead to some pretty unnecessary exploration, experiences of the dumb whatsoever and yet they just let me be. they know that i'll be back i assume. somehow. probably i underestimated their understanding of me. as i grow up. my amount of allies dip lower. all i can say is, i think i did or am still trying to do something about it. alrighty, bottom line: i'm fine. just to update. ;p
