a quiet battle

obedience.

keep the commandments

do I sway for worldly returns?

do I yearn for non-eternal

do I see beyond the physical

do I follow you my one true LORD.

GOD heal my son, watch over my daughter.

contagious saddness

你伤心， 我伤心， 他伤心。

这日子，怎么都伤心？

还要来做什么？

要来做什么？

the new world

I was just thinking.

as it has been very hot

scorchingly hot

and then it rained

thunderstorm

people fall sick

a lot of people die

so perhaps thousand years ago

they decided that

this will be the season

for all souls day

not no for any unexplainable

supernatural phenomenon

rather that the human body

cannot withstand drastic change of weather as such

especially the young, the old and weak.

I was just thinking.

if you can design refrigerator to preserve freshness

perhaps we can design a GIANT mammoth almost

one to house communities

perhaps just perhaps

we can spray on a preservative of sort

and we can live longer and healthier

and then who cares if it rain or

if it shine?

obsessive compulsive perfectionist

Spell my name with L and then end it with a V.

that's my worth.

I want to reach the top,

that's my worth.

Chinese speaks Mandarin, English and BM.

who cares if you have a stomach ache.

tuition as usual

music, ballet and arts..

left brain, right brain plus the damn mind maps.

pass the baton to those tiny hands,

let them shoulder our insecurities, mistakes and failures.

No this is a Generation of Knowledge, Technology and Opportunity.

Generation of Obsessive Compulsive Perfectionists.

Don;t look at the TV now.. your homework is more important.

Don't look at me now cos I have 100 things to do

I am too busy making money..

becos your name is spelt with L and I will end it with V

that's your worth.

我的妹妹又生日了。

阿琳。昨天你又生日了。农历生日。

又唱生日歌， 又切cake了。

但我觉得假如这世界有（you又）人应该生日两次，那应该是你。

不会懂得放弃的你， 一个大胆的你，一个如此喜欢帮人的你，

一个如此爱生命的你，

如此宽容的心，热血奔腾 的你。

假如没有真正的 爱这生命，那来这么向往知道未来？

那来这么多力气改善自己，改善他人？

但我觉得假如你真的想知， 我说，这将来， 别急，

就象 有 两次生日的快乐，奖是非常非常

幸福的。

Being a child is about colours

being a child is about colours

where red

where orange

where blue

where yellow

where green

where purple

where pink

black and brown

are all allowed to be together.

no prejudice just preference.

being a child

it is ok to

cry

laugh out loud

to be angry

where dreams visit every hour

where needs and wants are the same

to be a child again ... is to be free again

p.s. to all of you who never give up in looking for the child in your lives, thank you.

Hay Hay

Hayley (pronounced /ˈheɪli/) is a given name and a surname of Old English origin that means "from the hay meadow",^[1]although it has been suggested that it is from the Old Norse word "haela" meaning "hero"

she came in a little package, she came as a surprise.

when he told me quite confidently almost in a conceited manner that she is a girl,

I prayed that she would have big eyes.

some nights I wonder why did God bless me so quickly with another while I was left years waiting for my first.

I saw a beautiful model, brunette, dark brown eyes in the discovery channel one night. Brightest smile.

if i had a daughter, I wish for her to be like her.. A Hayley.

Hayley a Hero.

She lives up to her name

Her stem cells was collected during birth in hope that one day...

She was only two when she took a tissue from the box to wipe the tears off my face

She shifts the stray strands of hair off my face with her tiny fingers

She gives tiny massage to me, my relatives and friends

She brings her brother to class before going to her own

She asked others to leave her brother alone and not to bully him (a privilege she reserves for herself)

She thinks she knows alot so she has plenty to share

we call her auntie becos she reminds us of one..

She Nags

just that day she asked me to wear my clothes properly.

God knew I needed an Angel .. but he know I am a skeptic.. So Hay.

Mama loves you.. happy birthday baby. you are mama's hero.

the fan

when I was young,

I used to sit in a classroom

which had no aircon

it came only with a ceiling fan

turning and turning

one day when I looked up

the ceiling fan didn't look quite fasten to the ceiling

it swing violently

the only thing that is holding it was the wires

and it looked as if it was going to fall off the ceiling

I was rather terrified

I was afraid it would drop and chop my head off with its crazy swinging out of control blades

It didn't of course

ceiling fans only existed in school and hospitals

not in HDB flats cos the ceiling were just too low for them

when I came to malaysia

I was surprised to find them in houses

Eventually I got a chance to own a house of my own

and I had to make a choice between standing fan or the ceiling fan

the fear of crazy ceiling fan never left me

But they told me the ceiling fan is more effective in cooling room area than standing fan

and they also explained to me that one must fasten a hook on the beam

and the fan will be hooked to the beam hence it is very very safe

I bought the ceiling fan and got some expert to install it

it turns and cools the room

but I still stare at it and take photo of it

becos you just never know...

Waitng for Harvest

cut the trees,

clear the land,

plough the fields,

sow the seeds,

nurse the young,

pluck the weeds,

watch the crops,

sit and wait

watch up the sky,

feel the heat.. feel the damp

work the fields,

wait for harvest

wait..

as green turns to gold

knows

harvest is good

season after seasons

they pray to the sky

they pray that the unforeseen will be taken care of..

they did what we do

with eyes half blind we followed our guts

we whispered a prayer and do what needed to be done

we worked "the fields"

with sweats, tears and blood though they are almost hard to see

we have physical muscles to show

but we know we are tough as bulls

we know that regardless how the locust plagues

we will not forsake

a mission we were call upon to do

so when it time to harvest

the dance is for God and us

for we know the harvest is good

the Harvest is for us.

syringe

O.. Pull it out.
yank it.
Draw out your syringe
relieve me the pain
Spread the word
pain is unbearable
you animal..
You've punctured a hole..
draw whatever you want
but withdraw your syringe..
relieve me..

Definitely Not Necessary

Plagues happen due to negligence.

Due to conceitedness

Due to intended forgetfulness

I was at the accident and emergency ward today and a few days ago.

like a war zone, the casualties are flooding through the doors.

Everyone is wearing mask. Cannot tell who has the flu and who hasn't.

I start to think why are there so many people becoming sick.

Poor nutrition.. due to the poor quality of food produce.

stress lack of sleep....pollution.. bad water..

then Plague strikes and suddenly everything is forced to a halt.

everything everyone is scrutinised

when the drugs don't work..

we humble ourselves to seek help from our divine forces

Precaution is better than cure..

Do take care..

The storyteller

2+5 = 7 ... july = 7... 1st of july is 7
7 is a Perfect number..

God rested on the Seventh day, sanctified it and made it holy.

a creative soul listens, understands, empathises and feels..
a creative heart retells
a creative being inspires
a creative's art never dies..

I remember because on a joyous occasion you made me sad,
I remember because on a tough day you made it easy
I remember because on a sad night you made me smile

I will remember because you left me gifts
My children will remember because I will not forget.

YA: "I want."
DO: "Madam, this is the best I can do. I cannot bring it to you because I don't know where you are."

Rest in Peace Story teller Yasmin

starting point

The body has finally gave in to the constant abuse and neglect. During the pursuit, one has forgotten the reason.

it is for the money. with the money they feel they have the right.

the right to demand

the right to bargain

the right to abuse

we gave in

because we were after the money

the money which promises the life we want

if we have the money, we would possibly have a key to open that treasure box.

with this it gave us a right

the right to excuse

the right to absent

the right to abuse

hours passed..

with narrow focus we continue to pursue

that is the purpose to our life..

doesn't matter so long as we are an inch closer to our imagination

when it is over..

we suddenly begin to pay the price which was due as a result of our pursuit

the Money we wanted instead of building that dream went

to the doctor

to the shrink

to the many material demands

to our vices

we realised we are now further away from the dream..

a figment of our narrowed imagination.

holding the things we have in our hands.. our values, our principles, our family, our friends, our community.. our heritage.

we have more than what Money can buy..

we hold our dreams right within our hands

The body has finally gave in to the constant abuse and neglect. During the pursuit, one has forgotten the reason.

suddenly black out .. you are called HOME ..

just like that

just like that ..

its over ...

Imagine at what price are we willing to price in pursuit of the dream..
