Novelty Act 1: Excursion to Choa Chu Kang Cemetery

16th July 2011

The day I visited Choa Chu Kang Cemetery for the first time with Gibson & Ian.  The objective of our excursion was to explore and understand the historical site.  Our trip there was a memorable one for us as it allowed us to witness the differences between tombs of various beliefs. 

I am a believer of preserving the past and when I read some of the words engraved on some tomb tablets, for a brief moment I felt that I actually have known that person.  :)

Just for your interest, this link shows some of the Former Cemeteries in Singapore.

I intend to organise more novelty tours for my friends and I to experience and understand Singapore & the world better!  So yes, more events to come! :D

In the late afternoon, I went to catch the final series of Harry Potter (and the Deathly Hallows Part II).  Personally, it was pretty well-executed and probably the best out of the entire series.

For the past six and a half months, it has been bittersweet, full of adventure and lots of personal development for myself.  I really thank God for giving me all these precious experiences.

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...
