In Chinese New Year
Red is the colour
be it clothes, food, or decorations
cos it reflects bravery, good luck,
and happiness!

And magic added on to the atmosphere,
especially for the kids who sit eagerly,
and the brave one who participated,
all waiting to see
what would pop out next!

sweeping out all the bad luck
bringing in good luck!

a dragon that loves a pearl
ushering new luck!

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

Love All, Trust A Few
Love All, Trust A Few
I like this Shakespeare quote. It reflects my attitude towards life in general. Love reflects compassion, kindness and generosity. In the modern world, trust a few is being wise. – Toh HL

So many unanswered questions
yet no one breathed a word during the session
we looked at each other but dared not ask
with intelligent looks behind ignorant masks

Phone: A part of one ‘s attire?
Phone: A part of one ‘s attire?
“I’ve been calling you all morning! Why didn’t you pick up your phone? I had to call Danny to talk to you!”
“I was in the kitchen all morning. The phone was in my room! It is my ‘no phone time’!
Is a phone part of our attire?

Quote:-
I finally realized that people are prisoners of their phones… that’s why it’s called a “cell” phone. – Anonymous
