to lie under the blankets and
keep myself warm?”

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

The significance of the cherry blossom tree in
Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years.
In their country, the cherry blossom represents
the fragility and the beauty of life.
It’s a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly
beautiful but that it is also tragically short.
– Homaro Cantu
“If only I have a Nikon or….
or a Canon…if only!”
“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies.”
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
Crying to the moo-oo-oon,
“If only, If only.”
― Louis Sachar
Do they love you or the mask you put on everyday?
– Shimika Bowers
“Leaf me alone.”
“Dough not remove my mask.”
“I have to put on a BRAve mask.”
Relax…
Take a deep breath
and imagine
you’re blowing all your
fears into the red balloons,
worries into the green balloons,
shattered dreams into the blue balloons,
and disappointments into the yellow balloons.
Then tie them all up.
Count to three
and let them go!
Take a moment and watch
these colourful balloons fly away.
Soon the heaviness in your heart
will be lifted.
And you will be ready to move on.
Remember that life
does not have to be purrfect
to be beautiful!
“Mom said to put all my sadness in these balloons and let them fly away.”
Quote of the day – Arthur Schopenhauer
“Wealth is like sea-water;
the more we drink,
the thirstier we become;
and the same is true of fame.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer
“No worries, I’ll just drink beer. Cheers!”
Once upon a time – NBC
Once upon a time…life was simple and purrfect.
In a twinkling of an eye, I’m all grown up.
And I had to attend the school’s orientation.
We were told to queue at the school hall like forever.
Then, the teachers took us for a school tour.
Yesterday was the fist day of school.
(Oopsie.., I should have kept my mouth closed
– my two front teeth are missing!)
No worries, Mom.. I’m all ready for Primary One.
Hmmm…it’s time to pay attention and try to look serious.
The part I love most about school is break time.
That’s all folks. Mewry Mewlodies!
Remembering my aunt
Hello Aunt Ying
I can’t believe it’s been a year since you left us.
I thought about you often after your passing.
And you even appear in my dream twice.
I’m glad you’re now free and at peace,
re-united again with grandma, uncle PW, and my dad.
I believe they were there to welcome you with open arms.
Only when I was in my 20s and started working
that I got to know you better.
You seemed stern and strict to us when we were young.
But the truth was you were kind, understanding and witty.
And you were the aunt who would call me occasionally
to see how I was doing and for that I thank you.
Today, I want to remember
… your beautiful smile
… your warm hug
…your caring heart
…your love for gardening,
and your beautiful garden.
Also to let you know that
you’re in our thoughts today and
we believe your spirit still lives among us.
Memories of you will continue
to linger in our hearts and
we will always miss you.
