Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The further has not yet come.
Looking deeply as life as it is
in the very here and now,
the practitioner dwells
in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.
How can we bargain with it?
The sage calls a person who knows
how to dwell in mindfulness
night and day
"one who knows the better way to live alone."
Let go of what is past. Let go of what is not yet. Observe what is happening in the present moment, but do not be attached to it. To live in mindfulness.
"Hardships make us strong. Problems give birth to wisdom. Sorrows cultivate compassion. Those who have suffered the most will become the happiest – Daisaku Ikeda"

In the Loving Memory of My Grandma
Aged 83 Departed on 17th Apirl 2011 Sunday 20:06 Sunday (lunar 15th of 3rd Month)
Dear Grandma,
From the day you admitted hospital till today burial, it has been 1 month.
Seeing you lying on the hospital bed suffering in pain has break many of your children and grandchildren hearts. Their hope of your recovery had been rises up when they saw you chirping happily away but never to their knowledge that it's the last time as you lapsed in and out of conscious and constantly in pain over the 3 week plus till you breathed your last breath.
I'm sorry grandma for not being by your side when you breathed your last breath. A 7 days wake might be long but after today we won't have any more chance to see you again.
How are you grandma? Knowing that you had left us forever as the thoughts of your new house at Chao Chu Kang Cemetery brings tears to everyone of us. The least I know we had accomplished the last task by completing the burial today.
Life is really short and suffering.
人生好苦,没意思。
Grandma, you had left us for another path but we will always remember you in our heart.

Goodbye 2010
Year 2010 has gone
Things has ended.
Another up and down year has gone by.
I've been through tears and laughters in the year.
Some things I've lost and gain
What's lost, it can no longer be recover
What's gain, it's there for us to treasure
Yet what's lay ahead it's still unknow. . .
As age catches up with me, I learned that things wont stay the same forever.
Hence, letting go as much as I can.
Though I can't say I'm carefree till the stage that nothing bothers me.
I do have my negative period and thoughts, which I'll disappear for awhile.
During this 2010, I've seen many things and personalities of people.
People who do things for the benefit of themselves.
People who only cares for themselves
People who are baised
People who has two sides
People who are cunning
People who are truely kind
Unforeseen things that happened.
The tough process of building a new place
Few are good which are hardly exists.
For a brand new year 2011,
I only wish to be more strong and wise.

Move
Be stronger my friend.
This is the reality.
It's the fact that you can't change.
So be strong
Be braver than others
Show it to everyone
That you can do it.
Shed no more tears
Move Move Move

Angry
Definately I'm angry now. But what can I do?
Just walk off? I knew I can't do that.
There're a lot more things I've to face.
Thinking of that, I really do not know what to do.
The worst has yet to come.

Heavy Body
Been working for the past few days physically. Body pretty tired but still alright in compare to others.
Yea fortunate. Sometime we should make a comparsion with others than we'll find that we're much more fortunate.
Or else most of the time we'll be complaining and grumbling.
Life is really "wu nia"
