Love the verse on this wall of the Restaurant!

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN
IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD
AND LOSES HIS SOUL?

Neglect

Neglect
a word that digs deep down the heart
a feeling that gnaws at you
a knowledge that can
cause
death

Hereditary Traits - REBELS

I'm blamed for a near accident of my 3-year-old niece. And I'm happy about it till now. Still smiling each time I recall the incident. You can say there's a tinge of pride of seeing myself in the little one.

Seeing how some people across the road are dancing, little one pulled with all her might to lead the adult to cross the road. Her desire, most ardent one too, is to dance together with those people. No adult relented. She MADE A DASH for the road!

And for this I'm to be blamed though I was not at the scene at all. Spiritually, emotionally and physically absent.

For wanting something, I could just give up everything else to reach my objective to learn. That was me when I was young. So young that when my father threw my schoolbag out, I eloped with my schoolbag.

For such reckless love for learning, my 3-year-old niece and I are now in the same boat for our fiery reckless temper.

Somehow, I love her even more now... ke ke ke...

Best Gift

The best gift
is when you touch it
and feel the love spent
to choose the gift

The best gift
is when the giver senses
your hope to be remembered
and give humbly
- happy by this feeling of being wanted

The best gift
is each time you
touch
smell
taste
hear
see
the gift
a ripple of joy
bubbles within...

taken on 2 April 2010.

New buildings rise against the sea of Singapore coast. My friend from Hong Kong says Singapore has many interesting buildings. It's gratifying that our quirkiness in construction and preservation is gettting noticed.
