None The Less

Hi, your name is? =)

Today is the official opening of Paya Lebar Wellness Centre (PLWC)- that's where I'm working at the moment. I work with elderlies above 50, and my colleague is this lovely lady who has a big big heart. I also have other colleagues from Hougang Sheng Hong Family Service Centre (HSFSC), but we are located a few blocks away from each other- that's where I've started when I entered Society of Sheng Hong Welfare Services in January. I've just been transferred permanently to PLWC, and I miss them already. i'm in love with kind-hearted people who laugh sincerely.

I sign off as lince, which means lynx in spanish. if you'd google "cat and dog theology", you'd see an interesting analogy of christians as either cats or dogs, and their relationship with God as their master. cats are the self-centred, haughty ones. and lynx, being part of the cat family, is apt because i am distinctly one.

more accurately though, my name is Ellince. El means God in hebrews and unashamedly, apart from El, lince can do nothing.

Well, hi.

Not in order of importance:
you have much if you have:
a life, a job, a family, friends, money, health, happiness.
or if you have:
a life, a job, a family, friends, money and health.
or if you have:
a life, a job, a family, and friends.
or if you have:
a life, a job and a family.
or if you have:
a life and a job.
you will still have much if you have:
a life.

but knowing us, much is never enough. part of it is greed, but most of it is perfection-seeking. we yearn to be completed, satisfied- lacking nothing.

if what you have is only misery:
u are comfortably living below the absolute poverty line, your friends betrayed you, your family left you, your company cheated on you, and each ailing breath you take is physically agonising. you have nothing that the world yearns but a God who is still with you. i say that you lack nothing.

Today, i would like to boast that i have much and that i lack nothing. please remind me of this when i'm old and sickly and alone.

i can't keep quiet.

i distrust my Lord.

He tells me i should eat it, one at a time.

but i decided to juice them. lemon, pineapple, almond nuts, sambal, yam, kueh bangkit and pear. and gulped them with coke.

terrible altogether.

and so i forced myself to puke. to rid. to purge. all of them all at once.

and i did.

but an aftertaste lingers.
