Updates: 2014 - Present

Dear Blog,

It has been a while since I last wrote extensively.  Perhaps with some time on my hands now, I shall briefly update about what has been going on in my life.  Time really flies and I have been married for 2.5 years.  I'm in a blissful marriage, yes, I praise the Lord for that! :)  Nat and I are waiting for our flat which would approximately be available by the end of 2018 (considering renovations and all).  Regarding children, yes, Nat and I would love to be blessed with at least 2 children, but we are waiting for our flat (as mentioned) and also based on current circumstances and commitments, we shall wait.


2014


During our honeymoon 2 years ago, I had my dreams came true; we visited London and caught a fleeting glimpse of Queen Elizabeth, and went to Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, saw the statue of David and admired the works of Michelangelo.  I am extremely elated and grateful.  Those memories would no doubt be stored in my long-term memory.

I also returned to church 2 years ago.  God led me to Bedok Lutheran Church.  During 1 sermon, the preacher was preaching about the Prodigal Son; I sensed that the Holy Spirit was speaking to me because I could strongly relate to this particular parable.

2015


Travelled with my 2 best friends.  Finally with the both of them!


Present

Some personal goals that I had was to read widely.  As an English undergraduate, the books that came along with it helped.   I would love to read even more; much more.

I can never thank God enough for my job!  I love my job and I'm growing a lot as a person.  However, I think I need to remind myself that God is my priority, followed by my family.  Help me not to lose sight!

I also sensed a seachange in my life, re-prioritising sometimes makes me feel like I have fewer friends, but I guess this is the season in my life that I'm given leadership and responsibilities and I will do my best to serve God.

~

While I doubt anyone close to me is reading this (except for Nat), I am somewhat sure I will read this again sometime in the future.  All I want to say at this point is, I am extremely grateful to God for all that I have and my prayer is for Him to mold me to be the kind of person He wants me to be.

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...
