1 May 2014 – Happy May Day

Most who know me also know that religions and politics are not part of the blog postings’ agenda. Thoughts and feelings regarding the complications and differences of beliefs, rituals and religions are usually personal and subjective. Unless people can respect, share and learn from the differences, ie objective about personal issues but that  is oxymoron!! So there is no point discussing them until the cows come home!

If one is secure with their beliefs and life-styles, then why is there a need to convince others or even talk about it? For many actions and words do not seem to be in harmony!

‘This is an important reminder, but I do wonder at which point this stopped becoming a ‘common sense’ understanding in multicultural Singapore. The rise of religious fundamentalism and the generally low EQ of certain Singaporeans make for a terrible combination. And the very idea of proselytising in a hospital environment, where people are at their most vulnerable and struggling with their mortality, is distasteful and offensive. It turns doves bearing ‘good news’ into predatory creatures, eager to chalk up a quota of saved’ souls’ – Alfian Sa’at

• grew up in a household with a matriarch grandmother who was practising some form of Chinese Asian beliefs, mother a god-fearing and church goer and father who did not seem to take part in any of those rituals.
• attended a Catholic Convent in SIN until age 15
• Ireland for schooling the next 10yrs
• another 10yrs with the trolls in Norway, those who have seen Frozen can understand 🙂
• USA for 15yrs
