Turning Points



Books I borrowed during my lunch break.

I'm not sure about you but GE 2011 was a turning point in my life. 

There are several major turning points in my life:-


#1. Meeting my best friends from Gongshang Primary School.
Ladies, you know who you are.
Thank you for being in my life and the unforgettable childhood.

#2. Receiving Christ as my personal saviour.
This is the best decision I have ever made.
#3. Getting to know my close sisters from church.
All the memories we shared were precious.
#4. Having Happy (my dog) in my life.
Happy has been in my wish list for 3 years before my parents got her for me during the year which I took my GCE 'O' Level.  The special day was 11th June 2001.

#5. Leaving the church I grew up in.
I'm not sure how I feel about this but I think my life would have been (a little or more than a little) different if I have stayed on.
#6. Relationships that did not feel right.
There were ample lessons learnt.  That's why I appreciate Nat a lot.

#7. Furthering my studies at UniSIM.
I love what I am being taught and I'm still learning.

#8. Volunteer widely.
When you volunteer, you get to learn and do a lot of things you don't get to do in your profession.

#9. Experiencing General Election 2011.
It changed my life.  Believe it or not, it was the first time I felt that I have a role to play in my country.  After the elections, I'm glad I visited a few parties to find out more about them.

#10. Meeting the love of my life.
I feel that I can journey through life with him.

#11. Being a member of The Workers' Party of Singapore.
After volunteering for some time with the party and getting to know the people within, I officially joined the party as a member on 16 June 2012. 

There are many more significant events in my life with different ways of measuring the significance but the ones mentioned above are the ones I can recall at the moment and they did shape the course of my life since the occurrence of it. 

Turning points...

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.
