Dear Friends So Long

Dear Blog,

The past few days have been blissful and peaceful. Hardly any issues to bother me. Except the things to fuss about are the economy, my savings etc. However, the problems do not seem to cloud my brain too much.

It does seem good at the moment. I’m just casually doing my things. Being really at ease with the world around me. Maybe this is start of my plans for the future.
I’ve been thinking quite a lot about my good friends nowadays. Those unforgettable times. The kinda warmth you feel when you and your close ones gather and laugh and joke around. Heart-to-heart conversations. Exchange of opinions, never mind that it ends with a heated debate. I really miss those times spent.

Reminiscing...

I think about the primary school days, how my bestie, Xue Ying and I met. The strong brick foundation of our everlasting friendship. Me and Gil... Our primary 6 days. Germs and I, the crazy secondary school days. Jing, Eunice and Lian. Poly year 1, semester 1. Bavis, Athena and Huda... Our final schooling days in Temasek Polytechnic. Not forgetting my attachment days with Ron and Danny. It’s amazing how all these friendships blossom.

Churchies I care about most certainly. My sisters, Yu Han and Cai Ying.

Guess these are the people I who always possess my heart and mind. :)

So I’m sitting by the desk, feeling nostalgic. And so wanting to go back to the time when my bestie and I visited the Tampines Regional Library during elementary school. Me visiting her house to see Kiki, me carrying Kiki’s pups. Me receiving letters with Hello Kitty prints. Me just daydreaming here and wishing that I can hang by the moment forever.

Current Sound Track To My Life

BREATHING – LIFEHOUSE

I'm looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

Love,
Pam P.

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; #...

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...

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 🧓🏻💛
