If I were a tree,I could stand there still.I would sink deep into my roots andrest from the haste of life. I knowmy work is donebecause I was completely myself. I would know with intuitive certainty,I have grown, I have flowered and borne fruit.I would know about the big letting go before winter. I would […]
If I would Be a Tree

I read about this gutsy lady
who ran in to pump her fists
onto a man’s chest
on a badminton court floor.
“Quick, call 999, and go get the AED from my car!”
… throwing her car key to her son nearby.
( Wow, she even had an AED in her car!)
****
Watching a few trainings in progress, as participants learned to do CPR on manikins.
“Madam, madam, are you ok? (Shaking the manikin’s shoulder…) Quick, someone, call 911, and bring the AED!”
“er… 911? Isn’t it 999 in Malaysia?”
“Oop, let me start again! Madam, madam, are you ok?…..”
( Too much of watching western movies and ER series? ‘911’ seems natural to a few of them! Ha, ha!)
****
Any questions?
****
“What if I break the victim’s ribs?” “…so, you rather watch him ‘go forever’?”
*****
“What if, it’s a lady? Do I put my hands on her chest?” “Stupid question! You better don’t be around if I ever collapse in office! Move! My turn to do CPR!” And the plump senior lady knelt before the manikin.

Words Matter!
Ah, to reach that 10,000 steps!
****
A senior walked
Holding on to the side rail
Up several flights of stairs
****
Reaching each floor
Was a number
Of the steps achieved
What an encouragement!
*****
Go for an evening walk!
Reach that 10,000 steps!
Cos health is wealth!
*****
Get a partner to talk to
Say hello and make new friends
With oldies songs in the background
And observing the surroundings
During an evening walk!
****
See what I saw along the way:-

Are you throwing oranges this Chap Goh Mei?
In the olden days, single ladies will toss oranges into the river on Chap Goh Mei, Chinese Valentine day. This is on the fifteenth and the last day of Chinese new year. Men would be scooping them to make contact with these ladies.
In this age, someone should be creating a ‘virtual river’ instead!

It is not about finding a perfect partner. It is about being a perfect partner.

Traveling with love
I am impressed with this innovation!
“I can cut you off and still love you. I can stop speaking to you, and still care for you. I can let you go, and still wish you the best. If I leave you alone, it’s not to be bitter or petty. If I leave you alone, it’s for my own good. If I […]
I am Choosing to Take Care of Me
A leisure walk after the rain…
This is Titiwangsa lake park in Kuala Lumpur
“Let go for a drive, mummy!”
The other siblings seem to have outgrown this habit of greeting!
He opened the passenger car door to meticulously push in the skirt of umbrella caught between the closed car door earlier.
What do you like more, “the music or the drive”? “Both”
So we drove on leisurely, I came down to take a shot or two:- see the reflections on the ground? see the bicycles for rent? see iconic twin-towers and library in the background?
Music and leisure driving,. can be therapeutic, indeed!
