About

Born in Singapore, Amy LAM was educated and has worked in Ireland and Norway teaching music for 20 years; coordinated events and travels in USA for 15 years, worked at an advertising agency and coordinated events in Singapore for 10 years. She hiked the Appalachian Trail/USA 2,175m/3,500km from May-Sep in 2005 after both her daughters Linn & May were working and independent with their own lives.

In 2008, published 1st SIN AT Thru-Hiker/First Singaporean Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker – a collection of data, pictures, quotes & thoughts during a 127 days hike. She has been and still is sharing the experience through PowerPoint presentations with Q&A about the hike to various associations, groups and societies around the world.

If interested for her to give a presentation or to purchase the 108 pages book, please write to her. If she is in your area, she will be delighted to share. After globe-trotting around the world for 8 months in 2008 to gather branches & leafs, she hopes to draft her family tree – The LAM Heritage.

2009′s visit to the ancestral village in S China, where the ancestral hall and house still stand was an eye-opener trip. The trip has created more interesting work to be researched into. Future travels to S China and Borneo/E Malaysia will be necessary before embarking on a rough draft of the heritage trail – the never-ending trail!

With two beautiful daughters, two wonderful son-in-laws Jeff & Bjørn, six adorable grand children Katy, Ellie, JohnW, Sophie, James and Olai. Life is blessed! These are all her full-blood daughters and grand children, all the reasons to do more research into the family history to trace where the recessive genes originated from

  You ought to actually think about working on developing this blog into a serious authority in this market. You evidently have a grasp of the matters everyone is looking for on this website in any case and you could possibly certainly even earn a buck or two off of some advertisements. I would explore following current subjects and elevating the amount of write ups you put up and I assure you’d start seeing some wonderful focused visitors within the near future. Only a thought, good luck in no matter you do!

    Thanks for stopping and for your kind comment. This blog started as a kind of journal and to inform my family and friends as to my where and whatabouts. Somehow it expanded to other readers. I am more than happy to share a life experience with anyone interested and with anyone who can benefit from both my mistakes and experiences. Somehow when money gets in the pix, the motivation for writing is not so much from the heart but with other motives. That is the intention, thus will let this blog run it’s course until when the heart is no longer there to share. Appreciations for your thoughts.

Hello,

I was searching and found your blog. I’m not a thruhiker (yet), but am interested in the subject.

What led you to go for a long mountain walk?

Are you familiar with http://www.trailjournals.com?

I wish you well in your travels.

Hi there excellent blog! Does running a blog such as this take a lot of work? I’ve very little understanding of computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic however I simply wanted to ask. Many thanks!

  Thanks for stopping. Running a blog needs you to like doing it. Do not have much understanding of computer or it’s programming but with the patient help of others who graciously help me thru’. So hope that you have friends who could show you that it is not so difficult if you are willing to learn. Good Luck to your blog.

Hello! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a massive amount work? I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

  Have replied to similar comment and thanks for stopping by. Just get started and blog regularly. You will learn from the trails and errors; that was how I learnt. And if I (being a grandmother of 6 soon) can do it, anyone can… as long as you enjoy doing it! Sharing experience can be fun if done with joy and without any ulterior motives…
  
  The beginning of anything new is always difficult but if your interest is there, the rest will fall in place as time go by! Good Luck.

This site appears to get a great deal of visitors. How do you advertise it? It offers a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to say is the most important factor.
- on May 25, 2011 at 09:39 | Reply amylamsg
  
  Hey there. thanks for stopping by and for you comment. This is not an advertise site. Actually it started as a site to inform family & friends as my where and what abouts. Just sharing life experiences with anyone who is interested and also who might learn from my personal mistakes! Apologies if unable to answer to all comments but will do so if it can be of benefit to most. So if you have something constructive and positive to add, will be happy to answer. As you so put it so well, something authentic or substantial but be careful of your motives.
  
  Sometimes people are unaware that their actions, body languages and words can give them away. But if you are sincere without ulterior motives (whatever you might have in mind), eventually it will be known! Appreciate your input!

However, the “one country, two systems” product adopted by Beijing to coincide with free of charge marketplace reforms and the expansion of China into an financial superpower has proven quite successful. The Simple Legislation of Hong Kong, the equivalent of the constitution, stipulates that the SAR maintains a “high degree of autonomy” in all issues apart from foreign relations and defence. The SAR these days operates as a significant offshore finance center, discreetly oiling the wheels of commerce in between East and West.
