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...

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Stubbles + Dreadlocks = My Kinda Guy as at 21st Dec '09 I guess this statement is pretty true. It took me about 3-4 years to decide to tell him that I still love him... Telling him was just to let him know my feelings towards him... Months later we got together, it felt strange because I thought fate has departed from us. Destiny must have heard my cry and let me have a second go at this love. Unfortunately, now we're once again apart from each other. Sometimes I felt that I held on to the memories with him so tight because he was my first love. Many times I have thought myself to be a fool and felt that things have been a little unfair. He was my dream guy and I don't think I was ever his dream girl. After all, I was not his first love. Moreover, I don't have much to offer. Day after day, I watch memories play over my brain's eye, uncertain to feel remorseful or to tell myself to move on... Yeap, I know it has been a while now. God just help me. Pam Petite

A Fall

Dear Blog, I just had a fall while running in my flat-heeled office shoes. I didn't feel embarrassed dropping flat on the floor. Instead, I felt a growing pain from both my knees. My brain signaled for my legs to walk and soon I reached my destination with blood-crying knees. Why was I so careless? Was browsing through my past entries, time has passed and well, a lot more to improve on in my life. Occasionally, I wish to say, be contented. However, I can't. Because it simply is not good enough. I guess, that's what a twenty something should be contemplating. After all, only about a quarter of our lives is gone. Had been playing RISK board game with my honey on 2 consecutive Sundays. This game taught me a couple of lessons:- (a) Nobody is declared the winner unless the game ceases, by either party surrendering or by conquering the lands of your opponent; (b) Even if you are losing huge armies, it doesn't mean you are the loser; (small can fight big) (c) Take it easy!
