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

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon.  It rained and I was drenched.  Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home.  While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance.  I was really touched by his kindness.  Thank you, Lord for showing your love through the people around me. 

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

A Fall

Dear Blog, I just had a fall while running in my flat-heeled office shoes. I didn't feel embarrassed dropping flat on the floor. Instead, I felt a growing pain from both my knees. My brain signaled for my legs to walk and soon I reached my destination with blood-crying knees. Why was I so careless? Was browsing through my past entries, time has passed and well, a lot more to improve on in my life. Occasionally, I wish to say, be contented. However, I can't. Because it simply is not good enough. I guess, that's what a twenty something should be contemplating. After all, only about a quarter of our lives is gone. Had been playing RISK board game with my honey on 2 consecutive Sundays. This game taught me a couple of lessons:- (a) Nobody is declared the winner unless the game ceases, by either party surrendering or by conquering the lands of your opponent; (b) Even if you are losing huge armies, it doesn't mean you are the loser; (small can fight big) (c) Take it easy!
