Cherish the Treasure

Since I have some spare time at work, I have decided to blog, secretly.


Today marks the 6th month of my relationship with Nat. In my/our own world it actually felt like 6 years. Since the inception of our relationship, I have hope that it will be eternal.  Relationships of the past have been short term. 

Just a bit from what I've read recently.

As revealed in the first few chapters of Sex at Dawn, women prefers to settle down with men who protect and provide for them monetarily, whereas men get married to father children and spread their genes. I have not read the book completely but it attempts to explain the reasons behind infidelity.  Though it may seem like we, mankind are pragmatic, to a certain extend I agree.  Is true romantic love impossible? 


Though I am one for the existing society norms and believe that monogamy is the way to go (unlike Samantha of Sex and the City), I can comprehend the struggles to staying in a loveless relationship for the sake of provision and other ‘emotional physiological needs’. However, I would like to clarify that I do condemn disloyalty though I wish I can be less harsh.  If one is a cassonova, let him/her forgo marriage.


That having said, I am aware of the evil side of human, therefore I seek never to slide to the dark side by educating myself the dangers lurking. Succumbing to temptation destroys good relationships.  May God guard our hearts.


While I have not discussed what I value in a relationship, besides mentioning surface qualities above I am very glad that each time I reflect on the times Nat and I spent, I am more and more certain that we are meant to be where we are now.


At this point, I received a beautiful vase of carnations and other assortment of flowers which was being delivered to me at my office. Every day it seems, is a renewal of my faith that I have made the right choice of being in this partnership.

Thanks Nat for loving me. I will cherish this treasure of you.

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
