Thanksgiving - 28 November 2013

On 27th November (Wednesday), Pastor Rodney came into Christian Outreach to the Handicapped (my workplace) to give a devotion sharing on Thanksgiving.  He told us that the next day is the Thanksgiving Day in America.  I have heard about this occasion and most American TV series portrayed that there would be a huge feast for this particular day.  He said that the Thanksgiving Day falls on the last Thursday of November and for this year, it fell on my mother's birthday.  My family, including my fiance, had planned to have a simple dinner celebration with my folks.  Not coincidentally (I believe it was God's plan), it was also our (Nat & I) 27th Monthiversary on the same day.  The devotion sharing was a timely message.  It was like God telling me through one of His servants to give thanks and appreciate the most important people of my life.

He did list down the list of things we should reflect and be thankful for and truly, I believe I am blessed to be here breathing and using my fingers to coordinate the typing with the thoughts in my mind.

Take a moment everyday to think about the things you can be thankful for.  It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving Day so that you can give thanks.

I have been sick since yesterday and am in the process of recovering.  I really needed to recover because I will be having my bridal shower later in the afternoon.  However, I believe I have to forgo the Standard Chartered race which is on tomorrow because I am not totally well.  Looking back at this week, I kind of knew I was going to fall sick but lacked the discipline to eat healthier food.  I believe most of the time if I choose to make the wrong choices, I will have to suffer the consequences.  I really pray that for the rest of my life, I will attempt to make better and more responsible choices and to have more self-control.

Thank you for reading!

Love,
Pam

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...
