Turning Points



Books I borrowed during my lunch break.

I'm not sure about you but GE 2011 was a turning point in my life. 

There are several major turning points in my life:-


#1. Meeting my best friends from Gongshang Primary School.
Ladies, you know who you are.
Thank you for being in my life and the unforgettable childhood.

#2. Receiving Christ as my personal saviour.
This is the best decision I have ever made.
#3. Getting to know my close sisters from church.
All the memories we shared were precious.
#4. Having Happy (my dog) in my life.
Happy has been in my wish list for 3 years before my parents got her for me during the year which I took my GCE 'O' Level.  The special day was 11th June 2001.

#5. Leaving the church I grew up in.
I'm not sure how I feel about this but I think my life would have been (a little or more than a little) different if I have stayed on.
#6. Relationships that did not feel right.
There were ample lessons learnt.  That's why I appreciate Nat a lot.

#7. Furthering my studies at UniSIM.
I love what I am being taught and I'm still learning.

#8. Volunteer widely.
When you volunteer, you get to learn and do a lot of things you don't get to do in your profession.

#9. Experiencing General Election 2011.
It changed my life.  Believe it or not, it was the first time I felt that I have a role to play in my country.  After the elections, I'm glad I visited a few parties to find out more about them.

#10. Meeting the love of my life.
I feel that I can journey through life with him.

#11. Being a member of The Workers' Party of Singapore.
After volunteering for some time with the party and getting to know the people within, I officially joined the party as a member on 16 June 2012. 

There are many more significant events in my life with different ways of measuring the significance but the ones mentioned above are the ones I can recall at the moment and they did shape the course of my life since the occurrence of it. 

Turning points...

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...

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.
