My Thoughts on Sticker Girl

When I first saw a post on my Facebook news feed on sticker girl's spray painting, I thought it was part of the Singapore Arts Festival. I was impressed and thought "Wow! Finally something daring..." However, days later I realised it was not. Those stickers looked so professionally done that I found it hard to classify as vandalism.


I believe the Singapore law has stated quite explicitly on vandalism is. However, for Sticker Girl's case, it is not just about pasting stickers with creative lines, it also involved spray painting on the road which is essentially the public property. There will be effort and cost incurred to remove the paint.


Let's imagine if someone spray paints at your doorstep. No matter what the paint reads and how artistic it looks, it is high chance you will not be happy about it as it was done without your permission. Moreover, you can't peel it off like how you remove a sticker.


I have signed an online petition for sticker girl to receive a lighter punishment. I did it not because I don't see her act as a form of vandalism but because I like her courage to express creativity. Actually, I really wonder why did Sticker Girl choose to display her artwork in such a manner. Is there a hidden agenda?


Anyway, I wish the best for Sticker Girl and hope she learns something more about our country and this episode.

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
