The Forget-me-not seeds (saga seeds) are what we (the children) used to collect at the Alexandra Hospital, while we visit my father, who was hospitalized many years. It contains beautiful memories, a happy relationships of kins collecting “xiang si dou” (chinese for Forget-me-not). Usually, these seeds are used for decorating, doing artwork like this as shown above or they are put in bottles.

On this day, St Anthony’s Feast Day, the anniversary death day of St Anthony, I had ‘found’ the seeds at Alexandra Hospital. It is the Gift From Jesus, My Best Friend… Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus for saving me, saving my LIFE, My Soul. Jesus is my Saviour. I am proud to be a Catholic. This is my Church, Church of St Anthony of Padua, at Woodlands, Singapore.

What is Faith? This is something which I had been searching for. The search for the real true God, the real religion of this world. I have found the answer. I have come to save LIVES.

This is called GOOD TIDINGS… The Eleventh Hour….

Many people do not believe in Mary, the mother of God. Many people regard Catholic as false religion, worshiping idols. But all these that I witnessed, I experienced, have come to show that it is otherwise. Instead, I must thank all these great people who had made all these statues…

I have come to proclaim the Mystery of Faith, the Good News of the Gospel and the Coming of Our Saviour Jesus Christ!

Raffles Institution Crest with Motto: Auspicium Melioris Aevi

The Raffles Brand
The college crest is the coat of arms of the House of Raffles with the Raffles colours of green, black and white. Featuring the gryphon and the eagle prominently, the crest graphically presents the college’s values and goals.

The gryphon, a mythological creature of strength and speed, is set in a crown in all its majesty. The gryphon represents the strength of the college in facing challenges courageously and the speed with which the college is able to adapt to changes in the social, economic and educational landscape.

The eagle, a mighty and majestic ruler of the skies, is portrayed as double-headed, with one head looking back to the past and the other looking ahead to the future. The double-headed eagle represents the college’s tradition of constantly drawing strength from past achievements and at the same time, forging ahead with an eye on a brighter future.

The motto, Auspicium Melioris Aevi, set in a belt below the crest, is Latin for “Hope of a Better Age”.

College Anthem/ RI Anthem

The Rafflesian Spirit
The Rafflesian Spirit is a feeling that stems from the mind as well as the heart. It is a feeling of belonging to a great and magnificent institution with a proud heritage. It is a sense of togetherness that binds and inspires Rafflesians to give their best and reach for excellence.

I went to The Oasis coffee shop today. The food which make me ‘want to go back again’ is Teochew Porridge and this Western Food as shown here. I had patronized this western food stall for a few times, not more than eight times perhaps. The first time I had western food here, the queue was so long and we compared the food with Botak Jones even.

It was such a great idea to have such kind of Western Food stall in the coffee shop. This is unlike the normal ‘Tender Chicken’. It sells quite a lot of varieties of Western food in fact — including sausages, spaghetti, and seafood, just like any other western food stalls. It also includes soup and many side-dishes.

It really looks good, new and refreshing for a coffeeshop to have such a ‘mini restuarant’ like this. I saw long queues in the beginning. Each time I went, the ‘good taste’ seems to be missing and missing. Today, I did not see any long queue.

In fact, today, I do not see much people at this coffee shop. All the stalls seem to change. Even the mixed vegetable rice stalls which used to sell “Teochew Porridge” that I had mentioned, is not the same anymore…

Today, I did not eat the food from the vegetable rice stall nor the Western food….

Clara ordered spaghetti from the Western Food stall. The food used to be good, but each time I went, the standard seem to drop. Today, I do not have the ‘inspiration’ to eat from this stall at that moment — though at home, I mentioned that I want to go there to eat as there are so much varieties of food to choose here.

Ham and Mushroom Spaghetti

I looked at the vegetable rice stall. The vegetables were not well-cooked. They did not look good to me… all looked really lousy. Asked Richard, and he wanted to eat Fish Ball Noodles. I had not eaten Fish Ball noodles for a long time. But I saw the photograph of Laksa, with cockles. It looked good. I ordered that in the end…

Fish Ball Noodle or Mee Pok

Laksa Bee Hoon

This is really a pity. It was renovated so nicely but it was not a ‘favourable’ place, at least for me…. hear me out.

Note that I did not show any previous food ordered from this Western Food Stall or Char Grill Bar — Since it is not worth recommending already (it’s already history/past — the ‘first-day’ nice food which is used to attract customers….

This is QiHua Primary School having their Friday morning exercise before Flag-Raising Ceremony. What a good way to start the day! I was motivated and felt so good as well!

I was captivated by the music and could not help, but took a video of it. I did not expect to stay here to watch such a spectacular sight, but I must admit is really ‘moment of impulse‘….

It was this song, Insomnia by Craig David which the school was playing for the morning exercise. Before it started, I saw tables at the Parade Square. Later on, I realized that the tables are meant for the teachers to ‘dance’ (exercise) — demonstrate the students. There were three male teachers and a female teacher. The female teacher really stole all the limelight. She wore a yellow t-shirt, and danced so gracefully, so agile in her movements… what a beautiful lady. My eyes were fixed on this lady…but not forgetting my mission…

I did not bring along my Casio camera. I tried to zoom using my handphone camera, as you can see below. The result is equally bad.

Beautiful Morning Exercise

Great Friday Morning
Watching this Friday morning exercise is just my ‘appetizer’. The main course came next…

The eagle flew and swirl round over my head, flying in a circle or two. I quickly take out my camera to shoot the beautiful moment. It flew higher and by the time I had taken a shot of it, it flew away from my sight. Clara saw it as well. We were both marvelled.

The eagle reminded me of the song, On Eagle’s Wings which I had learned from the church. It was a nice song and today as I listen again to the song, my eyes were filled with tears. Water crowd my eyes as I was touched, very touched.

Symbolism of the Eagle
Is this another message God trying to convey to me…. On the same day, First I saw the peaceful dove. I did not take any pictures, thinking that the birds just happened to be there. It was two, not one, but a pair of adult peacful doves — “…the kind that I reared when I was a kid.” I told Clara. It was at the dinosaur playground then. Next we walked and saw Pigeons, lots of pigeons with various colours and behaviour…

The school song of Jurong West Secondary School:

… Perched proudly as we see our destiny,
We’ll be where dreams turn to reality,
Yes, we will soar, touch the sky, move the earth
We’ll make a diff-er-ence, where eagles dare!

2. Challenges come but we dare
To overcome them all
With our powerful wings and eagle eyes
We’ll meet the challenges with our claws without a sight
Oh yes, we will fly to the sky.

Adversity, am I going to overcome my difficulties? How am I going to overcome my difficulties… who will know my true heart feeling…

In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time. ~ Robert Collier

Puma cat spotted by Clara, some distance away from the church on our way home on Chinese New Year Mass.

Is it coincidence or is it God is with me? Is this another reaffirmance that God is my shield?

During this Chinese New Year, as usual, in my family, I am the one who look the worst… is the worst indeed (shall elaborate in another post). I was feeling bad about it. But is this all the comfort and strength God has given me. I am so grateful that even nature has such a power to lift our spirit.

IGNORANCE Kills.… Take The Lead…

Ignorance Is Risk

Being Ethical
It is so sad to see how SUPERFICIAL some people think. Those people who talk so much are people who knows too little, and trying to ACT SMART, ACT to know a lot. People who knows have hard time explaining…ha ha ha….lol, this is a crazy world, a world called ‘upside-down’.

Don’t Judge a Book By its Cover
Though the cover may look attractive, for it is the first thing you see, and it is the first thing that struck you. If it is not attractive, you would not even give it a chance to look into the book to see what it has to offer. A good book, flipped and flipped over and over again, will finally drop its cover… The ultimate judge is the ability to discern. It is to see everything, reason everything, and still EVERYTHING COUNT.

ONE WORD: HONESTY
With this word, you will never go wrong. If you are in the first hand, thinking of the wrong way to ‘lure’ people into your ‘territory’, so that you can ‘devour’ them, you can only have ‘one meal’. If you have done it HONOURABLY, and you have done it GLAMOUROUSLY and GRACIOUSLY, PROFESSIONALLY, you would ‘devour’ the whole world.

Animals KNOW NOT of MONEY
If I die, I would died in GLORY and In HONOUR, not for MONEY, but for Human RIGHTS — Doing the RIGHT thing IN the EYES of GOD, with all the angels and Saints.

Let The Dogs Bark

I had mentioned about Animals Behaviour, and put up a video on Animals I had seen at Admiralty Road West, Woodlands, on 7th September 2008. It was a day where I had seen almost most of the animals, including the Komodo Dragon, the four-legged snake… And it is said: If anyone was bitten by a serpent, he looked at the bronze serpent and lived..

Eternal Life
I saw the Kodomo dragon, it walked up from the stream, and it looked around and went back to the stream… I SURVIVED, I WAS SAVED….

Monkeys Watching

Interesting part, MONKEY SEX at about 3:11…

Do you think you are really MONKEYS?
This is what monkeys do. Monkeys go rubbish bin to look for food, eat food from the rubbish bin, the garbage. Monkeys snatched food from people. Monkeys ‘have sex’ or ‘make love’ anytime anywhere. Monkeys do not bathe themselves. Monkeys do not wear clothes. They exposed their bodies, their genital parts and yet, they have instinct! They are innocent animals, pure, and harbour no evil, no harm of any thoughts on any people. And yet, they are not stupid animal, though they are innocent. They know what is on your mind. This is their instinct!

The weird people calling the WEIRD people ‘Weird’!
Looking at the comments of the video Humans Are Monkeys, some even commented: Monkeys made gods. This is so ridiculous. That is real ‘true’ and that is why this is an upside down world.

Monkeys See, Monkeys Do
But we are better than Monkeys. We are better off than animals. There are animals with four legs, animals with two legs and animals with wings. We have hands and legs like the monkeys do. Monkeys have tails and we don’t have tails. The only animals I do not see on that day at Admiralty Road West is cats, not a cat was seen at all.

How DO YOU SEE yourself, YOUR REFLECTION
In terms of physical differences, there are plenty to mention, but there are many other valuable lessons we can learn from both animals and people. The most important difference which we are unlike animals is the use of language, the ability to talk with words, written and spoken. Humans is a better way of classifying us, PEOPLE, which might belong to the subsets of ANIMALS. But we are the HIGHER ORDER of animals, the HIGHEST OF ALL, the MASTER of all the animals, the master of our own lives as well.

Education
Monkeys don’t go to school. People go to school, the lucky people who can afford to go to school. The older generation of people might not have the ability to go to school, just like my mother. However, that does not mean that PEOPLE WHO GO TO SCHOOL MUST BE “MORE EDUCATED‘ than people who do not go to school!

Noise or Sound or MUSIC
Animals make sound. Monkeys have their own ‘sound’, Cats have their own and dogs have their unique ‘voice’ too. We might not be as ‘capable’ as the plants, being able to make their own food, but we have all the ‘ability’ and ‘talent’ to STUDY and research about plants, making new plants, propagating new hybrid of plants and so on. We are intervening into nature in so doing. Intervention, good or bad? That is what happens and the difference between animals and PEOPLE. How do you see it?

HOMO SAPIENS
I am a supreme being, a human being, capable of higher order thinking than the animals, able to have self-control, and the power of compassion and kindness. I am certainly not an animal, though I might belong to the general subset of animals, as one of the creation of God. But as the superior being and creation of God, we are capable of learning from animals, learning from people and be BETTER than animals and not to BEHAVE like animals.

Organization, Power And Control
The study of language and different subjects in school (construction and building, engineering), the development of the schools, the ‘management’ of the country and so on, all depends on the talents of people. Nomenclature, the giving of names has provided so much convenience to the society. And for this one thing, the intelligence, the ability to create and use tools, has created many conveniences and comfort to men…. Animals don’t use MONEY, but people ‘invented’ MONEY…..

Eat the RIGHT FOOD
We are omnivorous, anything we eat, but PLEASE care about what you EAT.

A good teacher inspires the students
Lately, or not so lately, Clara’s form teacher had given birth and now was unable to teach in the school. Relief teachers were called for, at least two. Ever since the change of teachers, I did not see the enthusiasm in her studies — coming home with ‘no words’ to share. When Mdm Chua was teaching her, she came home always saying,”today teacher says….” or even asked me questions! But the relief teachers now, she also told me, “lousy”, “always asked the children to do this and that…” I asked the names of the relief teachers. At the time of change, she told me that the Principal had told them about it. But we parents are not informed of the change. (Even for my son’s case, their Chinese Class also undergoes several changes last year, but I was not informed of any changes. I called the teachers, and NO HELP at all…. what kind of collaboration is this?)

Relief Teachers
I was told that the relief teachers were very experienced teachers. I had seen ‘older generation’ teachers, fat, thin, Malay, Chinese, men and women. Sometimes the ‘older generation’ teachers did not ‘brush’ up on their skills, did not ‘upgrade’ themselves, and their ‘knowledge’ remain stagnant. Consider the education of last time, what the people used to study; and compared it with now, our Primary School Students are learning more things than the last generation of Primary School Students.

Work Load of Teachers
Teachers need to mark a lot of things, and it is not easy to be teachers. There are demanding parents you have to entertain, there are lots of responsibilities not only over the children’s academic areas, but also their safety in the school. In the school, the teachers still have other duties to cover… and plus their own personal life after work…. But these are the things you ought to know and be prepared if you want to ‘earn the money’.

Answer Sheet
Multiple Choice question is the easiest to mark. 1,2,3 or 4; or a, b, c, or d. Clear-cut marking. But when it comes to open-ended question, teachers need to read each and single questions….. very time-consuming and ‘headache’ especially for higher Primaries — there are so many pages! (I look at my son’s exam papers, I also feel ‘giddy’…. imagine the poor teachers need to mark for 43 pupils in the class!)

(a) Describe, meaning what you see…. Based on the drawing, the stem is indeed thin.
(b) The stem creep up the fence because it cannot stand upright itself. It needs support so it can stand. Why wrong?
So this is one of the ‘Specified questions’ I asked the relief teacher to look into.

The first day returned the papers, with no answers/corrections done. As usual, I am not satisfied with some of the markings… I wrote a letter to the teacher, asking her to go through the specified questions…

The next day, the relief teacher called me, and explained to me. After that corrections was done…

Model Answer: (a) The plant has a weak stem.
(b) It creeps to get maximum sunlight.
Are you plants before? What is really meant by weak? If the plant is weak, would it have ENERGY to CLIMB up the fence? Are you describing what you see or ‘Interpreting’ what you think of the plant?

No marks were given or awarded to any of the ‘specified questions’(I was not satisfied with the answers). But who am I? I am not even a qualified teacher! People teaching in the school! I go fly kite!

How is the electromagnet useful? Model Answer: The electromagnet will separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials. This is what the electromagnet CAN DO. Isn’t it what the electromagnet does? But when we want to talk about USEFULNESS, what is usefulness? Useful means how it can HELP people, how it can HELP people to reduce time and reduce energy. To move or transfer vehicles (scrap cars, damaged vehicles) from one place to another and even to stack up the vehicles is its usefulness!

Why the fish die? The oil caused the fish to die, is it wrong? Children’s brain, Primary 3 only, and simple answer like that is wrong! Only more complex answer like “there is not enough oxygen to make the fish stay alive” then is perfect answer??? (1 mark only!!! so simple question yet so difficult…)

Or Would You Prefer Suffocation
When I squeeze your nose, do not allow you to breathe, do you say you died of ‘no air’ or do you say you die of ‘not enough oxygen’?

Science, Do you know everything under the sun?
Aren’t you confusing the kids even more like that? I, 大学生(Da Xue Sheng), University graduate, From National University of Singapore, I dare not say I know everything. I have many things yet to discover. Say what you want about 大学生, and see our NUS standard, our MOE standard, our teachers in Singapore…..

I was a relief teacher. I was not a qualified teacher. Yet, I know what is called teaching, handling the class, teaching the class, ‘projecting my voice’, tried my best to impact my knowledge to them.

I was an untrained teacher, yet I had experienced how it would be like to teach full-time in the school. I had made the teacher’s pledge before. I had forgotten about it. But I searched the web for it.

I am who I am today, because I have firstly, my mother, my father, my brothers and sister, and then the rest of the members (nephews, nieces and in-laws). I am who I am today, I must also thanked all my teachers, from Kindergarten to the University.

This is me, my first child, on the day I was supposed to be discharged from the hospital, Mount Alvernia Hospital. I was fat, so much overweight, but I DID NOT NEED TO GO any slimming centres AT ALL. I had NEVER need to go SLIMMING TREATMENT. Look at my weight now you can be your own judge whether what I am writing in my BLOGS are all the truth, from MY HEART.

Even though I am no more a teacher, Tell Me, what is a teacher? DO YOU NEED TO BE EMPLOYED to be a teacher?

MOE, Ministry of Education — The Teachers’ Pledge

Pledge By Teachers
We, the teachers of Singapore, pledge that:

• We will be true to our mission to bring out the best in our pupils.

• We will be exemplary in the discharge of our duties and responsibilities.

• We will guide our pupils to be good and useful citizens of Singapore.

• We will continue to learn and pass on the love of learning to our pupils.

• We will win the trust, support and co-operation of parents and the community so as to enable us to achieve our mission.

Teachers’ Creed
We, the teachers of JWSS
Pledge that: We will be true to our mission of moulding the academic, social, physical and aesthetics lives of our pupils. We will work hand in hand with one another and with our stakeholders to maximize the potential of our pupils. We will conduct ourselves in a manner befitting this noble profession. We will continue in our quest to learn and pass the love of learning to our pupils.

Teachers have children themselves, teachers are people also. If what I had done is all LIES and COOKING UP STORIES, then I would not be called APOSTLE THERESA LIM POH CHOO, not fit to be a disciple of Jesus also, a coward I am if I allowed such companies ‘to mislead’ women. We did not see many on the net. How many ignorant women are internet savvy? There are more women who knows? If there is one, there would be two! But I would not want to make unjust remarks, but I MERELY wrote on MINE opinion, my experience, and NOT defame the company! Discernment, I am sure a wise person would know how to do that.

If MY baptism name, Theresa and my Confirmation name Theresa. If God’s name is not holy, all the Saints and the faithful, the believer of Jesus Christ, who had died would be in vain.

What would be the reputation of our Singapore’s Education?

National Service: WHAT IT REALLY MEANS
My official National Service begins and it is now fighting, fighting for my nation, my Singapore. We must reshape our nation, see justice to be done to our people.

Just finished my ‘pai sai’ (passed motion), after I had finished published this comment on my blog post on BioFocus International Experience.

WHO CAN BE MORE POWERFUL THAN GOD, the original creator
God is so wonderful. He gave me all the encouragement FIRST before I ‘happened’ to see this comment. I did nothing wrong. I do not even know who is the director of this company. I do not even know her face. Who publish all the comment? It is all email and name. The real identity, nobody knows. But, in court, I know that I need to swear in front of the Bible! It is God who inspired people who write the BIBLE! DON”T YOU FIND IT WEIRD AND FUNNY IF I AM GOING TO BE SCARED TO BE CALLED TO HIGH COURT if all that I had wrote, all that I had done in all my blogs are all my honest experience and feelings.

AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE
Who had seen GOD? God came to my room. It was Jesus who talked to me,”Follow ME”. Who had saved me, save the nation? I was almost turned into a creature that wants to “SUCK BLOOD”, my children all turning weak and feverish (the temper was hot). They were all thirsty and ‘weak’ lying in my brother’s car. Nobody know what is happening inside me, except myself. I tell you, would you believe me? I show you all the photographs would you believe me? Why should I lie here in my blogs and why should I hurt anybody who is of no concern to me?

Who are of concern to me?
My family. Who are my family? My mother, my father, my brothers, my sister, my nieces, my nephews, my in-laws, all. Did I say bad things about anyone of them? Did I make up any stories of what is untrue?

Evidence
Everything can be traced. The church got eyes to see. The hospital got eyes also.

What the clouds show: The Rabbit Racing. Who is the rabbit?

What happens to the rabbit today?

Elephant head or crocodile head? The sky the limit, let the imagination run wild

Which is the truth? Tales or Tails? or Head or Heads?

This picture shows even clearer of the rays of light as revealed from heaven above…. “THE THRONE” I called, the bluish-white light.

What it means to be a Catholic? What it means to be a christian? What it means to be truthful to myself? If I had to go back to my post to amend anything that I had written, then I am fooling everybody. That is not called righteous. By what I am doing today, I understand what it is mean by RIGHTEOUS, what it means by integrity, and what it means CHARACTER, and what it means to have FAITH. Faith is trust in GOD, and regardless of my outcome, I trust the Lord, I trust in you, Jesus.

These are spaghetti I had cooked for my children for dinner.

After cooking dinner, I went to the window. Standing at the window, I saw the two cute mynas at the roof. They were singing. Then there were aeroplane passing by. I began to think of my mother. When I was young, my mother pointed to me whenever she saw aeroplane. She would say,”See, aeroplane!” My mother taught me words.

Looking out of the windows, I saw more birds flying, yellow, black, small and big, flying singly and flying in groups. It was such a comfort —- it was the thought: The Lord is my comfort when I am down. I was so sad, sad over the matters of the aircon. How selfish Singapore Man can be and how Man can behave in so many faces at home, in public, in front of friends and in front of families.

I am very grateful that I have a good mother, a mother who sacrificed so much, who works very hard and who endures so much. Marrying him, it is a ‘mirror’. I get to appreciate my family more and I get to know what is a family.

I never envy other people who earn more, and I never want to be like other people. But CMK once told me, “…not to compare myself with other people…” He thought that I always compare… This is how people can perceive differently. You look at me, I look at you, but in our mind, we think of different things. They thought I was a proud person, snobbish and treated me with ‘cold shoulder’ (treating someone who was able to talk well better, able to curry favour them… scolded me and said,”how long have I taught you?” — when that was the first time, and I did not even know anything…)

That was how biased people were in this society. How people judges according to look and judges according to family background. The one staying in landed property was treated with higher priority and more respect — very obvious, but that is a fact…

Anyway, I learned. I seen their colours. CMK said,”What shall I write? …. Cannot get along with staff?” I said, “whatever!” Is it going to make any difference? No. There is no confidentiality. There is no structure, but biased and not respectable person I see. I remembered every bit of him, from the start till the end and everyone of them. There are good and bad in everyone of them, no one is perfect, but that is how people discriminate and judges…..

When nobody understand you, the Lord soothes my soul. I understand what is Lord now, and I understand what is God now, and I believe in the creator of heaven and earth, the one true God who gives Light to this world. Even though I had sinned, God is so merciful. At 7.30pm, the bird still remained there. It was how amazing the wonders of God. It seemed to say,”I will be with you.” Just like what Veron had said,”He dwells in you and you in him.” She was speaking of Jesus, our Lord, my Master. The sky was so special too. It was like a phoenix, with a long tail.

So I am very grateful, grateful that I have a great mother and a great family, my brothers and sisters are all united and helping one another. My family is blessed, my nation blessed.

Walking With The Spirit
Anyway, now is very windy and the sky is grey. Just now Richard and I went to buy lunch. It rained and stopped. After eating, I came to my room to do my blogging. Checked my mail first and came to see some comments left by YouTube watchers. There, I was ‘carried away’ by songs. From “In moments like these“, I moved on to “A Moments Like This” and next “That’s what Friends are For“.

Time and Tide Past, Memories Stayed Forever
Tears, memories and sadness crowded on my head, thinking of my best friend, poor Cebest. And not forgetting the one who had stood by me all the while, the greatest love of all, the creator of this world, the creator of heaven and earth, and all things seen and unseen, supernatural life and natural, MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, HOLY BE YOUR NAME.

Father Vincent Chee gave me this on one day when we approached him for telling him what I saw about the Green Snake and all the things I had seen….

No comments about him and about what he said, because I respect him. It is the will of God. So this is how this small booklet looked like when opened up. This is the Power of Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This is how Sacred and 灵 “lin” or “leng” ‘灵(teochew), the spirit and in this case Holy Spirit is.

Jesus: Asks For New Apostles
Jesus Said:

My Beloved daughter, I wish you to make a wide distribution of My Merciful and Infinite Love.

I will help you to find new apostles. They will be My new elect and the beloved ones of My Heart and they will have a special place therein. I will bless their families and I will deputise for them in directing their affairs.

I will carry out in full that which I have told you in the Gospel.

To him who seeks first the Kingdom of God and His Justice all the rest will be given in abundance.

And now I say to you:” To anyone who propagates confidence and love towards My Mercy, I will give a hundred fold in this life and in the next.”

Now I have found this new means I ask your help as the beggar asks alms. Will you help Me?

Milan 27th April 1969

The Spirit Reigns
At about 4pm, I was ‘led’ again to READ the message given to me by Father Vincent Chee. It was Jesus’ words to me. At that moment, the wind blew on me, I felt so cool, I like wind. Then the bird, the same bird who woke me, the same bird who seem to say “It’s You, It’s You”, keep repeating.

What Friends Are For?
Good friends treasure relationship. Good friends died to save the lives of their love ones. Good friends are willing to sacrifice their lives in exchange for peace and harmony so that the people who live can have better lives. Good friends stand by you for all times even though they are dead, good friends will always be remembered in the heart, just like my love for Cebest and my love for Jesus. They are my two best friends.

Existence of God
So with this, I believe, believe in the existence of God and spirits in the air, the existence of angels, fairies, of all the unseen ‘creatures’ which we cannot see with our own eyes, but the dogs and cats can see, and some ‘spiritual gifted eyes’ can see. I will always believe, and all the more inspired and filled with awe what I see and witnessed with my own eyes, all that I experienced.

Three men are standing around a vat of vinegar. Each one has dipped his finger into the vinegar and has tasted it. The expression on each man’s face shows his individual reaction. Since the painting is allegorical, we are to understand that these are no ordinary vinegar tasters, but are instead representatives of the “Three Teachings” of China, and that the vinegar they are sampling represents the Essence of Life. The three masters are Confucius, Buddha, and Lao Zi, author of the oldest existing book of Taoism. The first has a sour look on his face, the second wears a bitter expression, but the third man is smiling.

To Confucius, life seemed rather sour. He believed that the present was out step with the past, and that the government of man on earth was out of harmony with the Way of Heaven, the government of, the universe. Therefore, he emphasized reverence for the Ancestors, as well as for the ancient rituals and ceremonies in which the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, acted as intermediary between limitless heaven and limited earth. Under Confucianism, the use of precisely measured court music, prescribed steps, actions, and phrases all added up to an extremely complex system of rituals, each used for a particular purpose at a particular time. A saying was recorded about Confucius, “If the mat was not straight, the Master would not sit.” This ought to give an indication of the extent to which things were carried out under Confucianism.

To Buddha, the second figure in the painting, life on earth was bitter, filled with attachments and desires that led to suffering. The world was seen as a setter of traps, a generator of illusions, a revolving wheel of pain for all creatures. In order to find peace, the Buddhist considered it necessary to transcend “the world of dust” and reach Nirvana, literally a state of “no wind.” Although the essentially optimistic attitude of the Chinese altered Buddhism considerably after it was brought in from its native India, the devout Buddhist often saw the way to Nirvana interrupted all the same by the bitter wind of everyday existence.

To Lao Zi, the harmony that naturally existed between heaven and earth from the very beginning could be found by anyone at any time, but not by following the rules of the Confucianists. As he stated in his Tao Te Ching, the “Tao Virtue Book,” earth was in essence a reflection of heaven, run by the same laws – not by the laws of men. These laws affected not only the spinning of distant planets, but the activities of the birds in the forest and the fish in the sea. According to Lao Zi, the more man interfered with the natural balance produced and governed by the universal laws, the further away the harmony retreated into the distance. The more forcing, the more trouble. Whether heavy or light, wet or dry, fast or slow, everything had its own nature already within it, which could not be violated without causing difficulties. When abstract and arbitrary rules were imposed from the outside, struggle was inevitable. Only then did life become sour.

To Lao Zi, the world was not a setter of traps but a teacher of valuable lessons. Its lessons needed to be learned, just as its laws needed to be followed; then all would go well. Rather than turn away from “the world of dust,” Lao Zi advised others to “join the dust of the world”. What he saw operating behind everything in heaven and earth he called Tao (Dao), “the Way”.

A basic principle of Lao Zi’s teaching was that this Way of the Universe could not be adequately described in words, and that it would be insulting both to its unlimited power and to the intelligent human mind to attempt to do so. Still, its nature could be understood, and those who cared the most about it, and the life from which it was inseparable, understood it best.

Over the centuries Lao Zi’s classic teachings were developed and divided into philosophical, monastic, and folk religious forms. All of these could be included under the general heading of Taoism. But the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. From the Taoist point of view, the natural result of this harmonious way of living is happiness. You might say that happy serenity is the most noticeable characteristic of the Taoist personality, and a subtle sense of humor is apparent even in the most profound Taoist writings, such as the twenty-five-hundred-year-old Tao Te Ching. In the writings of Taoism’s second major writer, Zhuang Zi, quiet laughter seems to bubble up like water from a fountain.

In the painting, why is Lao Zi smiling? After all, that vinegar that represents life must certainly have an unpleasant taste, as the expressions on the faces of the other two men indicate. But, through working in harmony with life’s circumstances, Taoist understanding changes what others may perceive as negative into something positive. From the Taoist point of view, sourness and bitterness come from the interfering and unappreciative mind. Life itself, when understood and utilized for what it is, is sweet. That is the message of The Vinegar Tasters.

Obama will win, Obama I support you, right from the very first day I saw you on the Paper. Obama. Yahoo, O Ba (Father) Ma (Mother) it is time for the black, the black people.

Just posted on this plant, which my grandmother liked. It is spirits in the air, the spirits and the Holy Spirit all at work now. I have no time to post about St Joseph Feast Day ( on 3rd May 2008 ) yet. I saw the most amazing thing also that day…. the special spider I saw…..

When Everything Counts
Can you see how the surrounding can affect us, the news we hear, the things we see, all affect our mood and how strangely we work. One day I can feel so tired upon waking up, and another day, I can feel so energetic, so inspired, and the sight of birds can lift me up just so much. It is wonder, mystery and the works of everyone, all working hand in hand, to make such a sight possible too.

One Look Tells All
Obama, the smile is so contagious. You just feel so good, even the look of it…. That is positive spirit that will lift people up, shouldn’t we support him?

Spring Cleaning, House-Keeping First
My house is still messy, but it is getting better, but not 7788 (七七八八, not even half complete) yet. I shall be back with more write-up of what I saw and experienced, telling you more about my life, servant of God, the spiritual cat I am.

I cure myself first before I can help others…
My children’s room is so messy, with exam going on, I have so much things to do, and I did not teach them at all. How can I be a good mother? I am sandwiched…… I want to be filial but yet I am trying to be a good mother……

That explains my slowdown in my posts…. I shall be back…

I Cannot Stop The Music
I cannot finish writing, I cannot finish the flow, it is ‘River of Babylon’! The water is flowing profusely non-stop, the music starts, the birds singing, the work began, the world is crazy, upside-down.

I am Mad Because I LIKE MATHS
But I like it, I LIKE IT. My clock is rewinding, I am watching and I am laughing. But I am moving on, moving on, walking not alone, with birds I see, flowers I see, SCHOOL BUSES I see and SCHOOL CHILDREN I LEARN, my motivation, my encouragement of life.

Wear Pyjamas learn swimming, who ever did that? Draw snake add legs, 画蛇添足

Too creative, very imaginative…….

An Upside down world, toppling down, everything, who are blind????? Whose eyes got stamps — mak jiu da stamp?? (teochew: mak jiu = eyes, da=affixed)

Who is the last one to be my witness? Who is the one I asked this question, and who is the one who answer my question? It is all the reverse now, REVERSE, REVERSE!!!!!!

The Integration Symbol, Sigmoid Curve, A Maths
Cycling on the pathway, seen beautiful Betel Nut Palm with fruits. Watched sports channel here, while eating Chicken rice. Saw Spain league, WoW, I like it. Saw a black butterfly with yellow dot this time on the MacArthur Palm tree. The myna flying and playing.

Chinese ‘Idol’ which people worship as God I see. Catholic breaking the ‘rules’, broken world time to heal.

My journey of Life, questions of the heart has finally paid off, my questions answered; Questions Are The Answers!!!!

HOPE I FOUND, Journey Looked Forward
I want to thank World Bible School, the so far truth I have learned, and I looked forward to complete the course, as I am only half pail water, a lot to learn about God. So much things to learn.

Save The World, Save Ourselves
Mother’s Day Best Gift, my wish, my dream, I look forward. Jesus, my leader, Jesus I follow, he carried, with me on his shoulder, I walk and see birds.

My Pride
This Great Life I experienced, living with Hope, living with Mission, living with Purpose to fulfill. My first step, my belief, has paid off. I am feeling Happy, HAPPINESS!

It is better to have one than nothing afterall, that is what I thought. Always hoping, always longing for the beautiful fragrance to come again, to see the blossoms. It comes, It shows and It is more than just a Tembusu Tree, it is an ENCHANTED TEMBUSU TREE, Fagraea fragrans

You don’t have to have a lot. You don’t have to have plenty. You just need ONE, one single Tembusu Tree, to add fragrance to the air. You only need ONE GOOD Tembusu Tree, a GOOD Tembusu Tree can add so much more to your life, so much nice smell, so much touch of love and surprises that EVEN YOU HAVE MONEY, you also cannot buy. It is one single Tembusu Tree down my house, that filled me with so much awe, surprises and inspiration. So much joy and so much of ‘WOW, WOW, WOW’ if only I can have more cap lock, exponential cap lock, WOW WOW WOW infinity……

Overnight, OVERNIGHT, The WHOLE Tembusu Tree is FILLED with Flowers, Tembusu Flowers!!!!! Last night I went downstairs to bring Ricsson back from Star Programme. As I walked out of the lift, I began to smell it, the fragrance of Tembusu Tree!!! I was so happy. Never did I know that the whole tree was full of blossoms.

It was only after bringing Ricsson back and then the whole family going downstairs for dinner, then I saw the Tembusu tree. At home, back in my room, I could even smell the fragrance, Beautiful Fragrance of the Tembusu Tree. I was so happy. I did not know it was full blosom still. (I tell you, God is so amazing. I even smell of Cebest, one day, one night to be exact, prior to me going to bathe. It was Cebest’s some urine smell I smelt, from outside the window, just like last night, the smell come from outside the window. Then when I bathe that night, I smelled of bleach, can you believe it??? It is amazing, how God can make healing and God can make miracle like that, in the air, you cannot see it. Not all people have such sensitive nose to smell it either.)

Even in the night, the flowers were so prominent. The whole tree was filled with yellow flowers, I could not help but exclaimed with ‘WOW, WOW, WOW’, it’s so INCREDIBLE, VERY INCREDIBLE!

Just last week, I looked at the Tembusu Tree, there was no flowers, no smell from it. The last week, it was 17th April 2008 to be exact, I went jogging with Richard and Clara. It was that day, I also took the most beautiful cat on the tree, but I have no time to put it up yet. It was that day, I met my ‘favourite cat‘ too. It was a day of ‘Victoria Alleluia” Inspiration, instinctively these words appeared in my brain, my mind.

That same day, I began to notice the yellow flame at the sit-up station began to grow new leaves. Last night, I saw the tree grown with new leaves, more green leaves, normal Yellow Flame again.

This morning, I went downstairs to take photographs of it. Looking at the bark of the tree, I was filled with inspiration, it is indeed An ENCHANTED Tembusu Tree, full of mysteries, creation of God.

It only takes a spark to get the fire going.

And soon all those around, can warm up in glowing.

That’s how it is with God’s love,

Once you’ve experienced it, you spread His love to everyone;

You want to pass it on. Yes, I experienced, I want to pass it on, It is beautiful.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That’s how it is with God’s love;
Once you’ve experienced it, you want to sing (Yes, It is singing inspiration comes naturally, you sing like crazy, it’s madness, it’s miracle in the air, beauty everywhere)
“It’s fresh like spring”; you want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I’ve found.
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you’re bound.
I’ll shout it from the mountain top – PRAISE GOD (God Is POWER, God IS GREAT, I LOVE GOD, THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE, JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE, LIVE AND DEAD!)
I want the world to know; the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

I’ll shout it from the mountain top – PRAISE GOD
I want the world to know; the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

Pass IT ON, SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD

The POWER OF ONE and Only Want God…

It was a scary ‘Ghost’ Story ‘behind’ it, I have no time to write yet, scary, ‘haunting’ indeed, I have so much things to do, so much things to write, Believe me, just wait for more Good News from me.

Towards Better Healthcare
I need more time to put up the beautiful photographs or rather the beautiful ‘new’ place which I had visited on Saturday, 19th April 2008. Meanwhile, this will be the photographs I will show you first.

No Safe, No Save, No Service
Ricsson did not get better on Saturday morning. The whole night, he did not sleep well. He told me he did not sleep at all. I could see his dark panda eyes. I was awoken by his cries. He had severe headache, very loud pain he cried. Then he said he felt like vomiting and the next moment, he rushed to the toilet. He was burning hot. His temperature was more than 40 degree celsius, about 40.6. I was so scared. I gave him medication, but he vomited everything out. I looked for the doctor’s medicines, just to check if there was any emergency number (even though I knew there wasn’t, but still try). Even though I know that no one will answer, I still call, just in case…. but no one answer. Can you imagine, no emergency number AT ALL at a family clinic? That is something which all doctor should look into, since they are providing ‘private’ service and charging us more expensive than what the Polyclinic!

Anyway, Richard suggested sending him to the hospital. So we did.

Destined…
The next problem, our transportation. Sick and need a comfortable and safe journey to the hospital, which cab should we take? Ricsson and I wanted the white colour one, the Premier Cab, but we did not know the number to dial (now we like the white cab already, silver cab is history). In the end, we just waited for our destined cab to come.

This is the type of taxi which I took to go KKH in the morning, and this taxi was what I had chosen to go back home the same day, which was my choice, and which was my mistake, but another lesson learn, and was meant to be…

Air is all that Matter
At first, we had a chance to take a cab, rather old and small type, but we were hesitating and waiting for a better one. Later, the new Comfort Blue Taxi came, and we took that. It was drove by Chinese, and that was the first time we took this ‘new’ Comfort Blue Taxi (Plain one, no picture, no painting, only the word Comfort). Good, no smell, no odour, comfortable, although it was not perfect, some dirty stains on the side of the door. It was a comfortable journey, and I really feel comfortable(after comparing it especially with the return journey experience later on, really really scary and terrible nightmare in the return journey…. talk later)

All Well, I well
As Ricsson was sick, children is always our main concern. If the children feel comfortable, we as parents also feel more at ease. So in this case, both of us are all comfortable. On the way, Ricsson did not vomit already. At home he vomited four times!

Different Spectacle I am wearing now
The children sat quietly in the cab, and I had my peace. On the highway, SLE, my heart was moved gradually. Singapore Sports School was what I always see. As the car was bringing us to our destination, the music made everything complete. I was totally seem mesmerised, as I passed by the schools, the roads, seen the trees(my favourite trees especially), the changes to Singapore — the road I used to have travel, but that day, everything was different, both feeling and sight.

The Saints Still Marching On
The JC is currently located at the former SASS site at 55 Potong Pasir Avenue 1. A sheltered pedestrian bridge across the Kallang River connects the JC to the secondary & junior schools across the river. Students at the college are called “Saints”.

Yes, I wake up, woke up.

To truly become Saints, the servant leaders of tomorrow, who serve the community selflessly, we must empower our students. To do this we will strive to impart the skills necessary for them to explore and meet the challenges of tomorrow confidently. We will strive to nurture in them the values that will serve as both beacon and ballast. We will strive to equip them with the leadership skills to become positive agents for change and provide them opportunities to hone these skills.

Wind of Change
Tears filled my eyes as I passed by St Andrew Junior College, and next a SMRT Bus with picture of police catching thief passed by our cab. This was accompanied by the song ‘Wind of Change‘, everything climax at this point. This song led me to KKH, I saw the pond (the small garden beside it) filled with lilies, so beautiful. I always wanted to go, but…..

My last trip, I stepped out of the cab, Giddy like hell…
Anyway, we reached our destination safely, and ‘song song’ (comfortably) reached KKH, KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the largest medical facility in Singapore which provides specialised care for women, babies and children. Another eye-opening experience ….

Stand Up For Singapore
We are patients, and we are patient when we know that we can trust you, and this I experienced, and at this point so far, this is the start of trust, at least for now. And this is a good start, a real good start, a positive progress, a brighter future we can look forward to. When All The Saints Go Marching In…..

Miss The Rain, Had been too busy with Life
I can smell the rain, it’s been such a long time since I had this kind of smell again — the smell of the rain. My sister said,”Rain got smell one mie?” Yes, rain got smell, and I love this smell, I am smelling now, and the cool breeze that blown onto my face, my body. That is the perfect temperature I want, the perfect temperature for any kind of activity — not too cold and not too hot.

Mind Your Own Business
Just as I was mentioning Singapore is a urban tropical rainforest, with all the birds living in co-existence with people. How nice this can be. Not only birds, all the pets dogs, cats and rabbits are living happily with Singaporean owners.

Sigh…Long forgotten about the sky
Everyday I heard baby birds crying for their mothers, perhaps waiting to be fed. So many baby birds produced and so many birds all busy flying around. For the first time, I walked with my head looking up always. Before that, birds on land are what I used to see — the pigeons, myna, sparrow and few occasion the egrets.

The clouds used to show animals….当年情
Time flies, and I am no longer in my teens or a youth now. Looking back, my life is just fulfilling what God has for me. And I am happy that I come this far, and discovered these much.

Heart of Woodlands
As mentioned, I found peace that very day, and I had the most wonderful breakfast with the birds at Woodlands Ave 1, the place where I could sit down, have a bowl of duck noodle soup, watching the birds playing, and watching busy people walking on the pathways. That is the place where our Singapore American School is also.

While I was eating and enjoying bird-watching, Richard was reading the newspaper, Straits Times. I did not want to lose this wonderful inspiration. I took out my notebook and I started to write down all my inspiration.

Breakfast With The Birds
That morning, as it was very early, most workers had not gone there to have meals. No one was smoking. It was fresh air I had, and wonderful hearty experience and peace I had. Not only did I see sparrows, myna and pigeons, it was Philippine Glossy Starling(Aplonis panayensis) I saw — the bird with red eyes and shiny greenish-black plumage. First time I see this kind of birds. There were two of them, perching on the palm tree, Macarthur Palm — Beautiful, Beauty and how wonderful experience, breakfast with the birds, better than at the bird park!

Philippine Glossy Starling(Aplonis panayensis): This picture is taken in the afternoon, about 1230pm, after the children finished their school’s sports day event, we had lunch here again, and this time I had the opportunity to take this picture…

You don’t disturb them, they don’t disturb you
Upon finishing, I saw the sparrows flying over to eat the leftovers from the next table. That reminded me of my childhood days — the bird that I used to have….

The perfect air which air purifier cannot even give you
He was never interested in bird-watching or nature appreciation. He said,”Got nothing to see.” After that, we cycled to Woodlands Town Garden, where I continued my birds watching and nature appreciation. That was the time where I had such a good breath of fresh air, just like now. The fresh air began to come back…. I can even smell the smell of durian flowers from here, my house now, the special fragrance of durian flowers smell…. the first time I experienced, first time I see real durian flowers…..

The Natural Power Within
This is the day I found inspiration and motivation, the natural power within, the natural power that is God-inspired and natural response of mine.

I had my first dream on 5th April 2008, Saturday, ever since my encounter with God and my transformation ever since. It was a scary dream, could not really remember the details, but only vague images — a fish with stomach bloated with parasites, lots of worms, very disgusting. The rest I had totally forgotten.

Last night, I had a short dream too. It was rather vague as well, but I can recall now what is it, but I do not wish to reveal it. The night, I heard door sound, always, sometimes knocking, somethings closing, and I am very blurred by all these sound, and don’t know what they mean.

Play Mahjong: Wash the cards = Swimming In Dry Water
Last night, I visited websites on how to swim butterfly stroke. I told Richard that I wanted to go library to borrow books on Butterfly stroke, but he asked me to go internet. So last night, I managed to read some information about butterfly swimming stroke. There were YouTube videos on butterfly swimming too. The whole night of consciousness, if I ever had, it was focused on ‘dry swimming’ — ‘siew ta chui’ (teochew = swim dry water). It was not easy to swim in dry water, as it involves a lot of imagination.

The Sun Smiling, The Sun shining Cheerfully, You Are My Sunshine

Under The Sun, Under One Roof — The world of learning
This morning, another surprise, another mystery, another new chapter of the day. For once, my life is really a world of song and melody, sound and voices. The sun seem to smile today, it is, I supposed so. On first sight of it, as I just came back from school, I went to my room to visit my Father in Heaven, He is smiling! Just like the Sun in the show Teletubby, so cheerful. For the first time, the sun really looks like having a mouth that smile, just like what we always draw.

The Black crane, Pacific Reef-Egret (Egretta sacra)

Black or White, Can fly Can Reach Your Destination
It was such a strong sunlight. Birds are still what I see. Today, the crow was standing still. I knew the story of the crow, the crow in relation to my brother, my big brother, the little white rabbit. I captured a few photographs of the crow and then I proceed to the living room. Amazingly, this time, I saw a black crane!!!!!!! Yesterday was a white crane, white with yellow beak. Today, a totally black, First Time I saw a black crane in Singapore, in my life. It must be the pacific Reef-Egret (Egretta sacra).
