Erm… Okay…
If this is what I get all the time for having 600+ readership a month – it’s worth it. At least people do tell you what they feel.
Besides I never got it so directed at about me being a Christian.
Wait a minute. You guys do know I’m a Christian, and I still attend City Harvest Church right?
Alright, I’m mean, that was partly to spite those anti-CHC people. Bleargh.
Here, listen to a bit of Pachelbel by local Christian a cappella group, AGAPELLA.
Or maybe the person thought I was Christian Derrick Kam, you know what I mean here right?
Then for the record, unlike how muddled it was for my colleagues during NS, it is:
DERRICK MATTHEW KAM
And yes, there were stages in MY life where I hoped for a different name. On paper it is still Derrick Luke Kam, because I love my grandmother and choose to respect her wish, but the name “Luke” has no significance besides it being chosen by my grandmother. (Of course the name has a meaning, douchebag!)
And I do not wish to elaborate my “Matthew”, or why was it “Titus” for a short while. I will if I want to, but that is one not for the blog.
But yes, I do lash out at people, be vulgar and all, and yes, it looks bad on me as a Christian, but you guys complained before (when I was still on the old platform) that I was being too happy-go-lucky and bible-ly, quoting scripture like I’m some bubbly youth pastor wannabe.
I AM NOT A FREAKING YOUTH-PASTOR-WANNABE. I just want to be one doesn’t meant I am a wannabe, bitches.
See, I’m human. But at least i’m not as vulgar as you guys say I am.
I have a temper, yes, but at least once I vent, it goes. if it lasts a few days, let it be.
And being human, we all take time to change.
I never said that when certain people joined me for steak, it makes them any less a Buddhist because they’re corrupted by meaty fibres in their bodies! Or anything to that effect to any one religion!
And most of the time, it’e because Derrick here is a City-Harvester, so he’s trying to prove himself right.
HELLLLLLO! I got a brain, okay!! I do not need the teachings of one man whom I respect to form my personality.
But all in all, stop it with the random, baseless criticism.
Thank you.
I can only laugh.
And laugh I did.
Go ahead, say what you want. I won’t be publishing comments; and neither do I deny any publicity for the “folly” I’ve made.
Maybe you guys want to laugh it out at Shin Ming for doing a nice expose on the history of the church, the building and Sun Ho itself when you guys brilliantly said that the deal here was about the abuse of church funds.
No, I do not have the article. No. I do not wish to talk about it even more. It doesn’t matter to me, nor anyone.
Go ahead, flame me. I don’t care.
Yes. I have guts to say these things, and I have guts to accept the criticisms that come my way; but I am also in position to choose whether or not I’d publish them. I’m no chicken, I’m accepting the whole thing as it is, and I’m pretty much alive and all. Not as if anyone of you would drop by with a flame thrower, and even if so, good for you – I’ll die and be pretty much… dead. =)
Who gives a damn what you guys, or me for this matter?
I quote from a commentor (I won’t comment-publish even the nice ones to be fair):
You are just paranoid. It’s just routine investigation. Nothing’s been found or confirmed yet. If the chc is clean, no amount of sabo-ing, case reporting will do them in.
Never mind if the church/mosque/temple looks uber or run down. If it’s guilty of mis-managing its funds, it’s still guilty. It’s not how much money you have, it’s how you use it.

So, there you have it.
Yes, I am paranoid. And it’s not how much money you have, but how you use it.
I get some of your pointers, and I thank you guys for making it a coffee topic on HWZ. I’m glad for you guys!
P.S. Some of you guys (most probably from CHC itself) think I’m trying to get some form of attention or trying to get into CityNews for whatever reasons available. My answer is clear; and it is a resounding No. I’m not trying to gain any form of attention, nor am I trying to get into the newsroom/editing table of the Church; as much as a lot of people I know find it a prestige.
I don’t see being in such positions to be much adored than compared to anything else that one can do.
