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

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; #...

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family.  I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection).  Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another.  However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year. Personally, I am into the idea that one should eliminate anything that brings you down. I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire. It is the thought of being affluent & rich someday soon that keeps me going forward. In my opinion, becoming rich doesn't have to cost you anything. Meaning, you don't have to sacrifice your very precious time with your family members; neglecting what's emotionally of higher importance. I'm a believer that there's a way to strike a balan...
