Singing- Those were the days
I used to be a bathroom singer.
I just started singing as a new hobby!
It is called life-long learning.
Listen to my song:- Those were the days.
For many fellow bloggers, this is probably the first time you are hearing my voice on this blog site… Happy listening!
Empowering versus enabling
******
I was struck by
this giant portrait of world leaders
so empowered
but are they enabling
for a better climate change,
a better world?

a familiar song
easy peasy one belts out
like breath in and out air!

a difficult tune
top it with varied language
days and weeks, it takes!

Photographer and hiker’s delights and joy!
By my form master and physics teacher, Mr Toh H.L.
Many of us have been to the Moher Cliff in Ireland and the Uluwaktu Cliff in Bali.
However, few have visited the incredible and stunning cliffs in Port Dickson. These cliffs are a photographer and hiker’s delight and joy. We feast with our eyes, and we exercise our legs during our hikes and climbs.
Batu Putih is our favourite cliff for climbing. Its steepness of about 70 degrees, plus its relatively short distance of 200m, are the perfect ingredients to provide the thrills without overwhelming us. We reach the summit before we get exhausted.
Come hike with us to stay healthy and fit. At retirement age, a healthy body and mind is what we ought to treasure. It isn’t great to have millions in the bank, but to be confined and cooped up in the house. Feel the breeze in our face, hear the rustle of the leaves, the sounds of wave, and the laughter of fellow hikers.
Make life a many splendour thing.

Singing a duet on starry, starry nights
Singing this song and remembering the previous post on starry starry nights.

Singing – and a new morning has broken!
Had duet with Uncle Choo from Penang and my sister Tan 5147, too!

The very best part of uncertainty is that I discover a possibility that I can do it!

It took me at least 50 recordings
before I could record
my favorite song,

Today, it took me
about three recordings
to post ‘morning has broken‘
after twelve weeks
going through
the processes of uncertainties,
unfamiliarities, and cultures
in the WeSing world!

Putting myself
as a senior, respected teacher
in the nursing world
to a humble ‘student’
in this WeSing world!

Quote:
Uncertainty is scary. And the more you try to get rid of the feeling, the stronger the fear becomes.
( I still have to pluck up a lot of courage each time to sing live! )

Singing: Fraulein- MissI or Mademoiselle?
I think I was having flu when singing this song. Therefore, the nasal voice!
*******
Singing is a hobby.
Many people, adults or kids, patients in boring wards, or during a rehabilitation process, may find singing fun, relaxing, or even therapeutic!
*****
When I first chose this song, it was because the name, ‘Fraulein‘, sounds nice and attractive.
I was surprised the popularity of this old song could peak a short while after its release.
Fraulein” is a 1957 song written by Lawton Williams. It was Bobby Helms’s debut single on the U.S. country chart. It reached #1 for four weeks. Fraulein became the sixth longest song in country music history to spend over 50 weeks on the country singles chart.
Listen to my duet ‘Fraulein’ with a fellow singer, Charles R. here…

As I told Pat…
Singing can be relaxing and therapeutic. I call it another life-long learning skill. I even memorised Chinese ( as I am English educated), Tagalog ( filipino), and Vietnamese characters to sing such songs. It is a self-fulfilling experience. -Chen SP-

Let the skin breathe!
*******
Those days I used to dread
students lining up
to bade farewell during
their long semester breaks!
The Malay girls, especially,
would kiss the back of my hand…
and then, they would plant
their lipstick kisses on my face
despite my protest!
Worse still, they would press
their cheek ( thick with foundation)
on mine during a hug!
********
I had to wash my face
after they had left for home.
My colleagues exclaimed,
“You washed your face!
So you have to apply foundation
and make-up all over again!”
And I replied that I don’t apply any
make-up foundation on my face!

can cause a phototoxic reaction
or irritate the skin, thus making
melasma (dark patches on face) worse.
Let the skin breathe!

Duration to write a blog post
( Senyru poem)
********
time to write and read
is all bloggers ĥave in hand
keep it short and sweet
*********
I usually take an average of 10 minutes to write a short blog post like this one, and up to 30 minutes for those posts that would need more research.
It can take up to 1 week if I decide to do some cartoon drawings with a story.

This blogger must be very fit and healthy!
Whenever I read blog posts about exercise, hiking, yoga, and dances, my first impression is “this blogger must be a very fit and healthy person!” Reading them reminds me to get up and do some exercises at home if I don’t join the group Tai Chi !
Quotes:
1. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. – Joseph Addison
2. “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”- Jim Rohn
