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!

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 🧓🏻💛
