Meeting Mr. Chiam!

21st May 2011
SPP Thank You Potluck Event @ Potong Pasir Blk 108.
Finally I get to meet one of our Singapore Hero,
Mr. Chiam See Tong. :)
I have a few purposes for going for this event.
Firstly, I would like to meet Mr. Chiam in person.
Secondly, I was really hoping to speak to Mr. Benjamin Pwee
or any persons who can allow my friend (Verdy) and I to know more about
volunteering with SPP and how does the various wings works.
Thirdly, I like Potong Pasir, as I frankly feel that it is kind of
an outlier residential estate in Singapore.
I did not get to do what I intended; which was to find out more
from Ben Pwee or get more information which is alright,
everybody seems to be busy mingling. :)

When it was our turn to take a picture with Mr. Chiam,
I was really excited.
I'm not too certain about what to say other than I know that
I have great respect for the man.
(Luckily, Verdy has a few lines to express our gratitude towards him) :)
I believe that Mr. Chiam is a humble and strong-willed guy
who did his best as an opposition leader. :)
A respectable leader to me is one who has an dying love & winning attitude.
Cheers!

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...
