CEFC has a pop out window on my birthday itself to wish me. And it's only once. Upon hearing that I wanted 19 times, my dearest daughter, Lix, and Val started flooding my inbox at CEFC. See, that's nice isn't it?
Not to mention, I've received something from one of the member in CEFC as well. Thanks a lot.
Isn't it nice?
I wanted to watch [50 First Dates]. But apparently, my sister and her boyfriend has been 'booking' the television every weekend makes it impossible for me to watch. And so, I'm giving this movie a miss once again. T.T
--------------------------
- Still thinking of how am I going to send the message across to the audience for my TV Production
- I'm thinking visually, yet nothing seems to be out from my little mind
- I'm still waiting for my sister's boyfriend to enter National Service ASAP, so that I won't be locked out during the weekends, which is hopefully.
--------------------------
I thought Christians shouldn't be materialistic, as in not to get used to the things we have here on Earth. I mean, God has done preparing a home for us in heaven, with everything we needed. But I don't think that's what I'm seeing now.
My uncle told me that money isn't everything. What's more important is being good to your family, and be a filial daughter. Which I agree of course.
But what I see from my sister and her boyfriend was of a different thing. They see money as the most important thing. I'm not sure why. My sister wanted her pay to increase, which is of the common thing as to survive and prepare in future use. Her boyfriend chooses commando for National Service instead of Navy, as Marine Engineering pays higher outside than Singapore Navy. Which of course, he thinks it would be better to work outside and earn more.
For my sister earning more means being rich. Can be a tai tai at home. Have a well designed home with expensive furnitures and utensils. Have a good vehicle be it motorbike or a car. It must be a good car and an expensive ones.
Why like that? God doesn't made us to be greedy over such things. He gave what we deserve. He gave us more than we need on earth. He blessed us with everything he could give. But why must we be so materialistic?
For me, I think as long as I've enough money to survive, as in not to let myself and my other half goes hungry, I'm already satisfied. I don't need big house, nice and expensive furniture, nice and expensive cars, not being a tai tai at home. All I want was, a happy family, a cosy small home, a bike for transportation around the neighborhood is actually more than enough for me. But if I were to start a family of my own, maybe I should start thinking of the other alternatives.
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. - 1 Timothy 6:17-19
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have. - Hebrews 13:5
