Sometimes, I think university people just think too much.
I definitely enjoyed studying sociology.
I definitely enjoyed reading quotes that gives me faith, hope and love in humanity.
Why? Because it is intellectually stimulating and it can reconcile what we feel about the reality.
BUT, few would go down and plow through it to really bring faith, hope and love.

For that, I am really grateful to Pastors

I am annoyed with Singapore Media.
Let me explain my reasons.
If you read today's newspaper about Olivia Cho's slimming advertisement.
You realise it wrote there that 'the before photo' was taken in May this year.
However, the photo was obviously taken years ago after her Idol win and I remembered it because there was the big hullabaloo of her undergoing slimming treatment.
Come on people, don't be deceived by the press and the image of slimming. -.-

Also for the swimming sports issue, I am sure the media loves to sensationalize the most trivial comment. I am sure the president and the coach did not feel guilty enough over the issue and the whole media sensationalise when the president said it was okay. The fact was it was okay but what was the president tone and what was his heart? Perhaps he wants to get over the whole issue? Maybe he did not want Ang to feel bad as he already had?
(Perhaps they don't feel guilty at all, I am not saying I am correct because I do not understand but I just feel there is an alternative of view.)

Singapore press needs to stop thinking they are superior in their thoughts. It is like an elitist mindset.

Please, critical thinking is not to criticise only, it is to THINK through all the perspectives and stick with 1 stand and write about it. We need to be responsible writers; find out what's wrong and find solutions and move on. The irony is that if we don't train up critical thinkers, stop complaining that we are complainers.

And yes, it irks me so much that I started blogging about it.

My "internship" is just about to end. (:
I felt as if I had a live sociology lesson. I think I can do thesis on sociology of work, place and power. It is interesting to observe people, playing the dirty game and wonder why they work 24 hours and 48 hours and had so much passion in their jobs. ( The latest I found out is that they fell in love and progressing.)

All I can say I have been cheated and manipulated.
But what do you do when you are cheated and manipulated?
You just go back to being pure and go back to God and most importantly guard your heart.
Otherwise, there is higher possibility you ended up like one of them.

The recent guidelines on restriction of religious use on commerical space?
It made me realise just one thing: laws can be changed overnight people.
Don't be foolish because you are not safe as long as the laws can be changed as long as those who held power.

Been quite a while since I have been away.
I know this is crazy but I really love my life!!
God has been so great and faithful.
Life after exams has been doing the things I love and everything was so timely!! (:

1. Liked Pstor How Gen Y sermon. (: The choices you chose determine your life. Not gg to be swept away by the current of life and just following what is the common or norm. I know what I want to do and love to do!

2. Had a chat with Pstor Lia and after the chat and the sermon last week, I felt really assured and loved by my Pstor. Felt everything just fall so nicely in place and I began to see the bigger picture in my life.

3. Lucky to get a job to help GE where I could play wii at Marina Bay Sands for 3 days and getting paid $8/hr. Long story period.

4. All the good food with friends such as tty,ray, and late night prata house with cheewee, walter and company (:

5. Found good friends like Joyce Chua and YueYing. We see each other when we need company to run, when we are talking about our people or even when church needs us to pack goodie bags. Haha! (:

4. Getting an internship and starting next week despite busy serving God after exams. It was so timely.

5. Going for integration outings, doing people work and talking to sec1 makes me ((:
Winson asked, "Jerlyn are you going to stay in this church forever? Like ever and ever forever?"
I said, "Yes. Of course, What about you?"
And he replied," Yes, I will too. Forever and ever"
Now, you know why my heart melts and what makes it melt.

Sweet, I love my life. ((:

I don't really like my blog now because it is messy.
I read some of my previous blog posts.
Some things have changed, people have changed, but some things still remained.
I love God, I love Pstors, I love life. (:

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?

Under the Sea..Under the Sea...
