Pam's Blog (Life, Marriage & Parenting)

via @pampetite on twitter: i think i figured some things out... why it is a blank piece... to move ahead, i gotta put away the past completely :) i kinda received some sorta enlightenment yesterday. better be moving away from memory lane! and not to give myself the benefit of doubt. in fact there's this awakening that i am the fool. yeah, i'm gonna be the determined me and start looking forward instead of turning backwards to care about him . (sorry to let you know i was still in that state) but do not be disheartened, i told myself, this time you understand and can move away. lately i've been laughing at myself. seems like i'm learning to take on life, more readily. here comes the pam - the improved version of myself you've been waiting for. :) Pam Petite

26th Feb 2010: Went for Mitch Albom's autograph session. He was such a charmer! :) Really great personality even for the brief few minutes encounter. Go read his books! Love, Pam Petite

Dear Attendees of Happy's B'day Party tomorrow, we'll be @ Pit 10. In between Escape Theme Park & Aloha Resort (Loyang). Any problems in finding the location, do give me a buzz. I'm so looking forward! See ya'll real soon! xoxo, Pam Petite

I'm in the process of constructing my photo album for Happy. :) ~ Listened to the audio book: Selling You! by Napoleon Hill Something I learned:- Time Budget (1) 8 hours for sleep (2) 8 hours for work (3) 4 hours for recreation & health (4) 2 hours for study & preparation (5) 2 hours for extra service to others without pay ~ I like the time management. So I guess I'll try this from tomorrow onwards. :) Btw, did you realise that I discontinued my ABCs of life? I will start on it again though... Been busy for a while. Now just for you before you end the day, presenting a song from my memory - Fleetwood Mac's Little Lies Enjoy! Pam Petite

I believe that being a good testimony is largely how I live my life as a Christian. Often I find myself struggling to be the person I want to be and fighting the devil inside me. I did not go to work today and I felt a little guilty about it though I have a few reasons as to why (though they are not really justified). I do pray that I would change my undesirable attitude although mentally I know that the turning point is near. Also I want to care for others, like Jesus cares for me. (that is indeed a challenge) Love, Pam Petite (also on "The City" on Redemption Hill Church)

Soundtrack of tonight: Adam Lambert - Whataya want from me ** Though I'm not feeling at all angsty. I do want to convey an emotion. I'm afraid I'm going to be really busy with the coming change in my life. As a result I guess I'll focus more on work. I desire to have time with God, family and close friends. Hope it ain't gonna be too tough to balance. The bottom line is I want to build my future and career so I don't think I'm ready to be in any committed romantic relationship. I would've been the girl who wants to get to family life early (between now to 27), however, goals seemed to have changed. (by goals I meant personal goals) If it happens that my goals are not aligned to God's will, I pray that I'll obey and follow God's calling for me. Pam Petite

20th Feb 2010: Registered for studies in Unisim, 1st visit to Marina Barrage, Flew kite etc. :) A Good Day! Pam Petite

Trying on some beautiful clothes in the fitting room... Uncertain to buy not... And yea, was thinking of cutting fringe but I think I'll let it grow for a change. :) My books have arrived from Seattle! :D Pam Petite

Okie, I have to say how amazing this book really is. (It's 1 of those very few books which I took less than a month to complete my reading) Anybody who has a few moments to spare everyday should most definitely read this. This book is revolving around the subject, "Why are successful people successful?" There are quite a handful of examples and studies to support the points Malcolm Gladwell was trying to prove. Let me share about what I have learned - "They (Successful people) are products of history and community, of opportunity and legacy. (...) It is grounded in a web of advantages and inheritances, some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky - but all critical to making them who they are." quoted from Page 334. I highly recommend you to read this. In fact I'm such a fan after this book that I bought Mr. Gladwell's other books, "The Tipping Point" & "Blink". Pam Petite

My continuation to the short story, The Simpleton & The Novelist II is on editred now. I hope I ain't that disappointing to my readers as I have to mildly agree that the introduction was pretty promising ? Honestly, I didn't felt this second chapter was good enough. ~ Anyways, my Lunar New Year holiday would be till this Friday. :) So here I am, sitting pretty comfortably in my chair. It's highly likely I'll: 1) Watch DVDs; 2) Practice on my guitar; 3) Read; 4) Doodle; and 5) Organise some stuff. Have a nice day! Pam Petite

How I spent my Valentine's Day! It was so pleasant. Visited Body Worlds @ the Singapore Science Centre with my bestie. [Sorry for violating the rules by taking pictures but I really like everything about the exhibition. So I hope the authorities will forgive me on this. If in any case, I should have it removed, I will. :)] Had dinner @ Fish & Co. @ ION. The manager, Eric was so good to us. He took a 2nd polaroid for us @ our request. That was a nice gesture and service-oriented. :) Yays for the nice polaroid pictures! xoxoxo, Pam Petite

Invitation to Happy's Birthday Party! Today, how's your 2nd day of the Chinese Lunar New Year? Hope it has been fun! I'm having a good time... Will be heading out for Valentine's Day the movie. Had abundance of quality time with my bestie yesterday for Valentine's Day cum 1st day of the Tiger Year. Photos will be up on this blog soon. You'll see lots of beautifully taken pictures plus POLAROIDS! Yays! ~ I really really thank God for my bestie! It seems that she's able to understand me pretty well emotionally. I've came to realise that not all whom I disclose my feelings to will be able to understand what I need. Yeah, it might sound demanding somewhat. That's what separates Best Friend from others I suppose. ~ Been thinking more frequently about the past lately. Uncertain why it did not affect me subconsciously. However, I do have to admit the past was lovely and somehow it lingers... ~ Take care all! Stay in good shape! :p Pam Petite

My Ang Bao (Gold Bao) - Decorated! Pam Petite

There's something wrong about this picture... You got it figured out? :p New Colour TeeVee Set/ Slightly Cluttered Desk Very neat bed :) Done with my spring-cleaning. Trust me I was very industrious that my folks complimented me. I could have done more if I have more time and with the accompaniment of a suave cleaning companion. :p Royce! My virgin taste of this series. Wooh I tell ya, mouth-wateringly delicious! :D Fashion-experimenting :) Have a great Chinese Lunar New Year all! :D Pam Petite

I need some directions. Pam Petite
