19th June 2011:

Found a new area I like to chillax @ Arab Street.  Spent some time catching up with my former colleague.  After terminating my service to my former employer, to once again meet up is an indication that this colleague can be more than just an office colleague, a friend.  



Tennessee Williams once said that, "life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose."  I always believe that friendships are very important and the close friends you choose to keep in your inner circle is paramount to your personal growth and development.  I do try my best to be of good company, influence and support to my close ones. 
 
When an individual makes a statement such as, "I have friends from different walks of life", I believe this person is someone who hardly discriminates or put aside his/her inner biasness.  Having typed-written above, though I am someone who selects friends, I would like to add that I also attempt to make friends who needs me.  As iterated in the lyrics of Spirit touch your church, as a Christian "I want to care for others, like Jesus cares for me."

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.
