Challenge of silence
All mothers are working mothers.

Home-makers are a full-time job.

Balancing delicately between the two evils…
Lockdown is on!
Lockdown is off!
Not because it is safe now.
It’s to prevent the economy
from diving under!
****
Thousands throng the beach,
and camp near waterfalls,
while hospitals continue to battle virus
and vans with caskets lined up
near burial grounds.
Many shudder at the ignorance
“Are lives so insignificant?”
****
What will it take
for reality to sink-in
to convince them?
Or has a sense of hopelessness
breeds insensitivity
to block out fear and pain?
****
Safety and health
or economy?
It’s a delicate balancing act!

When three generations fire fireworks
Seems like only ‘yesterday’
under your guidance
*****
today ‘we’ together,
are guiding my youngs.
.. three generations
firing a firework.
*****
It sparkles and crackles
Shooting up, up, up…
lighting up the sky!
Faces beamed in delight
putting memories of COVID-19 behind
*****
Happy Chinese New Year!

Hidup adalah perjalanan sementara. Sebilangan besar pesakit barah mengaitkan barah dengan prospek kematian. Tetapi sama ada seseorang itu menghidap barah, penyakit lain (Covid-19, serangan jantung, strok, dan lain-lain) atau kecederaan yang tidak disengajakan, hidup adalah sesuatu perjalanan. Menurut Tuan Allan, hidup adalah perjalanan sementara.
Saya berjumpa dengan Tuan Allan di sebuah hospital awam dua dekad yang lalu, ketika saya seorang jururawat muda. Salah satu soalan yang saya ajukan adalah, “bagaimana perasaan anda tentang penyakit anda?”. Sambil mendengarkannya, dia berusaha mencari jalan untuk menjelaskannya kepada saya.
Ini adalah salah satu jawapan paling tenang yang saya dapat ketika itu. – Serena Chen
“Lihat kabel elektrik ini di sini. Ia terpasang pada sumber di dinding. Kehidupan adalah perjalanan sementara (dia menunjuk sepanjang wayar). Menghidap barah hanyalah sebahagian dari perjalanan saya. Tidak lama lagi saya akan kembali ke tempat asal saya. (menunjuk sumber di dinding) – kembali kepada Tuhan, kembali ke syurga. “– Encik Allan
Adakah pandangan ini sama untuk agama lain?
[sementara kita tidak melihat perkara-perkara yang dilihat, tetapi pada perkara-perkara yang tidak dilihat; kerana perkara-perkara yang dilihat bersifat sementara, tetapi perkara yang tidak dilihat itu kekal. Google translated] . while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
[“Jadilah di dunia ini seolah-olah anda orang asing atau pengembara.” (Nabi Muhammad) -google translated]. “in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveller.” (The Prophet Muhammad)
[ “Kami adalah pelawat di planet ini. Kami berada di sini selama seratus tahun paling banyak. Dalam tempoh itu, kita mesti berusaha melakukan sesuatu yang baik, sesuatu yang bermanfaat, dengan kehidupan kita. jika anda menyumbang kepada kebahagiaan orang lain, anda akan menemui erti kehidupan yang sebenarnya. ” – Dalai Lama – google translated]. “We are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. if you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true meaning of life.” – Dalai Lama
A man was taking his son out for a walk in a nearby forest. Suddenly the boy tripped and feeling a sharp pain, he screamed, ‘AHHH!’ Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, ‘AHHH!’ He was completely taken aback as it was his first experience of an ECHO. Filled with curiosity, he screams a […]
Choose Your Echo…….
Laughter as a universal language.
******
A group of tourists sat down to try a street food- steamboat. They watched a group on the next table. A local teenager picked up a button mushroom with a pair of chopsticks… slowly, slowly, … into his mouth!
This group decided to try it as a game among themselves. One button mushroom flew to the next table instead! Both groups broke out into laughter!

The elevator is out again?
When the elevator is out again, is it time to groan or to go with a sedentary staff‘s exercise?
Forget about the 10,000 steps, this climbing up stairs is even more challenging!
Nowadays there are inbuilt pedometer apps on mobile phones to track one’s daily steps… That is, if one remembers to carry the phone along when one moves around!

“The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs, one step at a time.” — Joe Girard
“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.” — Dalai Lama
CHANGING OTHERS, CHANGING SELF!
Today, I read this with mixed feelings:
“Be wary of people who constantly keep an eye on what
you’re doing but don’t compliment or support you.”
– Dhar Mann –
****
Have you ever felt this way at work, at home, or in your social circle?
Do you feel unappreciated by your boss, your spouse, or your friends?

But Nicky Gumble says,
“You can’t change how people treat you or what they
say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.”
I am sure there are many authors who say about the same things above, too.
It is true, but we cannot change others.
So, many thanks to the many who support me!
