Dear Blog,

I've been working @ the education centre for a month now. From a part-time translator (chinese to english) to full-time cum administrator next week. Sometimes the thought of the job scope of an admin/receptionist makes me groan. Well I assume that it will be boring... My perception. Good thing I can still translate BUT I'm getting a lil tired. I'm a 3-minute person. Things just can't seem to interest me forever. Infidelity you think? The pleasant aspects of this job are which I kinda like some of my colleagues, the boss and of course the nature of my original existence to the company. I don't get upset when I leave later... (I doubt there's overtime pay so to speak) Basically, I feel that my job is helping me to improve as a person somehow.

Personally, I regard myself as a language individual... Though I would really love to be associated with arts being incline to architecture and playing of musical instruments like violin and drums as well as in the area of geography and child psychology. I'm attempting to improve my chinese especially... not wanting to neglect english. I've a burning desire to go more thorough into french & culture.

I feel that a lot of my relationships with friends have changed unconciously recently. My life seems to be about work (including all the elements of the job), my boyfriend and a few contemporaries. I'm genuinely jubilant about finding Athena again! She's truly special to me. Meeting up with her twice now has made me realize the change in her too. (I'm describing her coz I DO NOT want to forget her) Somehow I feel that she appreciates me a lil more. (Not that she did not seem so in the past but in the sense, the feeling is stronger) Anyhow back to the focal point... Change is constant. Presently, I don't tend to be excited about shopping. (I have really poor dress sense lately) I just hope that I don't spend too much since now that I've set my goals. Coming to the part about goals, lately I've been feeling kinda inadequate. Obviously the need to study is evident. However, unfortunately, financial crisis hinders certain plans. Oh wellies, never mind... Let me go on to plan B then. My time is passing by really fast. For a lady in her early twenties, I feel like a woman passed 30. Tempus fugit! Somehow, I just can't seem to stop time and life is a blur of colours, like the train reaching a destination where there's no one I knew. Lalala...

Sigh! I feel a need to amend my attitude towards people. I've been hiding for a while being a lil selective.

There's so much to adapt to in adulthood. Why must I grow old so swiftly? I guess that's my life and the way I choose it. Smile! =)

Love,
Pam

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
