Connection

1) Went home via cab. The taxi uncle started chatting with me. We talked about my occupation and then went into the subject of music. Music really brings people closer to one another. The Indian uncle was a cool dude. In his younger days, he played with the band and thus, he was able to play saxophone, clarinet, guitar etc. I am as I’ll put it totally into music. I want to learn how to play the guitar and I so love music. He told me the songs which he loved from Chuck Berry, Deep Purple, Santana, Voodoo Chile etc which was really cool once again. He could even churn out the chords to the “Smoke on the water”. I was absolutely impressed. I wanted to stay in touch but I can’t envision myself texting him every now and then about music. He even recommended to me a few places where I can shop for guitars, and what’s good and what’s not. There was an amazing connection. It was beautiful!

2) It was sort of strange that I didn’t get his name & he didn’t ask for mine.

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

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; #...

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.
