29th

Read from a self-help book that it'll be useful to write my goals and place them at a visible space. So here I am with these new goals pasted on my wall. Hopefully will be able to achieve them, given the timeline I set for myself.

Tomorrow will be my 29th birthday. It feels a little different this year. I didn't actively initiate to meet up with a lot of people whom I care about and love. (I met up with some of my loved ones though there are many more very dear to me.) And in this month, I felt that I have grown a lot. Learnt the lesson of humility and patience. I also learnt that God loves me a lot and He will always be there for me, no matter what circumstances I may be in. I am not sure exactly how I am feeling as I am typing from my cellphone now but it is really just different. Perhaps the reality that God's Will is more important than anything else and that time is passing by as I sit here.

Anyway, I am thankful to God for everything. I have a wonderful husband and family and I really do not have much to ask for. What I hope to be however, is to be a blessing to others.

Love,
Pam

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; #...
