Pam's Blog (Life, Marriage & Parenting)

Yesterday evening I met the happiest 3 year old.  She has  Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency & Epilepsy which is a very complex condition.  Despite what the parents are going through, they are very positive and are doing everything they can to provide for her.  I feel so blessed to have met them and wish the family well. What I have learnt from them is that if I am blessed with a special child (in the future), I will do everything to provide for him/her no matter what.  :)

My response to MOE to scrap banding of secondary schools.  You may read about it here .   Personally I welcome the move to scrap the banding of secondary schools. I used to live beside a neighbourhood secondary school which accepted students with a specific range of PSLE aggregate score for their express stream. As I fell below the requirement, I had to go to a school that is further away (which teaches exactly the same syllabus). Since I used to study in a secondary school which accepted students with a lower PSLE aggregate score in their express stream, while some other secondary schools with 'higher academic standing' would have placed me in their normal academic stream, what good does it do to a student who shares a similar experience as myself? Was it to help the school achieve certain awards? And why do secondary schools have to be in competition?   Pam

"During the Committee of Supply (COS) debate on MOE in parliament in March this year, I had made a call to allow parents to opt out of the PSLE when I presented a proposal for primary to secondary through-train schools." - NCMP Yee Jenn Jong's blog Do you think PSLE should be scrapped? Pam Petite

Watch this if you have not.. :) Love, Pam Petite

          28th August 2012   Celebrated our 1st year anniversary at Melt The World Cafe, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Singapore. It was unforgettable because the staff were very warm, pleasant and attentive. The world-class service provided was synonymous with the five stars hotel brand. Apart from making sure that our needs were well attended to, the staff have displayed vast knowledge of the buffet spread. The complimentary cake for our anniversary was delicious and served at the approriate time without us asking for it. Great initiative! Last but not least, the staff surprised us with a beautiful card endorsed with all the other staff's signatures. We were very touched by such hospitable gesture and will remember our wonderful experience at Melt The World Cafe for a very long time.    I highly recommend Melt The World Cafe to anyone who is looking for good food with excel...

Love this! Pam Petite

Nat proposed to me on 28th July 2012, 9.05pm with the witness of my best friends, Xue Ying and Gillian and his buddies, Bernard, Choong Yong, and Terence.  Our friends helped with the process of the proposal. Heartfelt thanks to all the preparation work for the proposal night to be a success! :) In a nutshell, Nat surprised me at The Dempsey Brasserie with this video .  Following that, he made a declaration of love, got down on 1 knee and proposed.  He is very sweet and I responded with, "definitely, I do."  I must have been the happiest person on earth that very moment! Here are some photographs... Thank you for reading. Wishing all happiness and pink of health! :) Pam
