23rd Apr 2011: Eventful Day

Hi,

Today is a pretty eventful day for me. I begin the day volunteering with WWF at ADEX (Diving Expo). It is an incredible experience for me as this is about raising awareness about the endangered and endangering sea creatures. Many of us are probably aware that the sharks population is dangerously threatened, do refer to the following website for more info: Say no to Shark Pledge (http://singapore.panda.org/take_action/sustainable_seafood/say_our_sharks/) Other than the alarming threat to sharks, another area we are concern with are the seafood; certain sea creatures are declining tremendously and we ought to think twice before we consume. This is going to be very tough for me because I love to eat fish but I will try my best to lessen and thus, hoping to create a butterfly effect to influence others positively. Singapore Seafood Guide to sustainable seafood (http://singapore.panda.org/take_action/sustainable_seafood/)

I would really love to go diving someday and hope with all my heart that these creatures are surviving well at where they belong. Not forgetting to mention, I was partnered with a very sweet girl, Durga at the WWF booth and we had lots of fun exploring the whole exhibition and learning from other booths. :)

After that, I went for my 1st ever NDP training. Made a couple of nice people and very interesting formation. :)

Well, guess I'm trying to live like I'm dying; living like there is no tomorrow. In actuality, to live a purpose-driven life is the most important. :)

Alright, everyone have a great day ahead! :D

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...
