Take me to your heart
************
a desire to connect
to guide one to love meaningfully
to accept one with all flaws
to embrace the love now or never
cos life is short

Listen to this song
Let listen to the poem above in anotherAI app-
I don’t want to talk about it
This song was written by Danny Whitten. He was struggling with heroin addiction to manage rheumatoid arthritis pain.
Whitten wrote “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” for Crazy Horse’s 1971 album. He was later dismissed from Neil Young’s band and never performed it with Crazy Horse.

Beginning 2026
I followed this icon, Jason, since I joined singing WeSing.
Initially, I didn’t know how to read his name in Chinese… so, I called him long-hair guy (LHG).. whenever I talk to my sister about him. Later, I was told he cut his hair short. So he became SHG to us. Until he told me that I could call him Jason.
When my sister sent me his pictures, I ask her, ‘Wow, does he really have a six-pack abdomen? That would be a really hard work! I was very impressed with the very good photographic works here!
I think he would make a good model as well, an actor…. and a good DJ! I like to hear his story about Thai cultures. Ah… I forgot, he is, of course, a good singer, too! I don’t have many duet songs with him, though.
I like this duet song most.
He claims to be a former cancer patient. I wish him a healthy new year and always!

It is Christmas time again!
I love walking into malls during festive seasons; Chinese New Year, Hari raya, Diwali, or Christmas!
The moods change with the decorations and background music accordingly!
Entrance to the mall
I was impressed with a young man massaging an old man’ shoulder. I gave a thumb up approvingly to him and an old man on a wheelchair. Such an act of filial piety nowadays is rare, indeed!
Then, I met a lady and a teenage boy tagging behind her with a camera. I offered to take a photo for them as they were waiting at the spot that I was posing with my family.
When I asked her where she was from because she was wearing a long overcoat. She must be feeling cold at the mall. And she said, ‘MALAYSIA’!
And you? I smiled, ‘Malaysia, too’! And she said, ‘You look like a foreigner!’ Me? With my hair tied up into two bunnies and wearing casual T-shirts and shorts?
In a global society, any locals can look like a foreigner, too!
Where do I begin
“Where Do I Begin?” was famously recorded by Andy Williams. It was from the 1970 film Love Story, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman. The song became a classic ballad about deep, lasting love.

Dresses with interesting designs
Many people took pictures of these dresses… interesting designs and fashion, though I have yet to see someone wearing them. Not sure how to describe them…geometrical?
Perfection versus excellence II
Perfection versus excellence
*******
Scoring an excellence in masters
with a ‘Golden Key award’
yet there were many
edited grammatical errors
in papers submitted, then. 🤔
******
I supposed that was why
perfection was out of reach!
But I am still glad I was
among the top 15%!
*******
Until I read in a local paper
about a medical professor
who was also
a Golden Key award holder.
It reminded me of the days
when I dreamed of
becoming a professor, too 😞!
But at a time when motherhood,
and family were a priority!
******
Today I hold a title
higher than a professor….
******
Can you guess what it is?
MOTHER is still the prized title!
********
Flying without wings” can mean achieving greatness or a feeling of euphoria through something other than physical flight, such as love, ambition, or spiritual fulfillment. It symbolizes transcending limitations and finding a sense of freedom and accomplishment through inner strength and unconventional means. The phrase can also have specific symbolic meanings in religion or be the title of the popular Westlife song, which is about finding the “one thing” that makes life complete.

Listen to my song:-
Elderly people getting lost in another country’s hotel
******
A dry cough behind me
as I stepped into a lift,
It was an old Chinese man with a hat
I tapped my room card
and pressed my floor number.
He stood still beside me…
******
I signalled to him to tap his card
and press his floor number.
He did and pressed
the same floor number as mine.
As we stepped out,
I let him move forward first.
********
I stood in front of the lift observing him
as he walked up and down the corridor,
and tried to open several room doors in vain!
This time I felt uneasy
I stepped back into the lift
and prayed that he didn’t follow me
again into the lift!
******
I reported to the counter staff
“oh no! these old tourists!
…. always forget their floor number
or their room number!”
She sent a staff member to go check.
******
The next morning during breakfast,
my colleague told me,
” I saw the old man with a hat. He sat opposite me. I gave him a tissue napkin. He carefully tore the napkin into two and gave back to me half of it!”
*******
So sweet of him!
But why is he travelling
in another country, ALONE!
A courageous Ryan sings
*******
He beats all odds
to sing where
many people dare not
*****
Hear our duet on silver bells
Hear our duet on Vincent
