A story was told of a man who found a teapot while he was strolling on a beach. Seeing that it looked rather exquisite though old, he began to rub the sand off it. Lo and behold, amidst the smoke that was coming out of the spout appeared a genie. "I, my master, am a genie. I can grant you one, only one, wish that you have. My master, please make your request." The man's i<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">nitial shock was turned to glee and he asked for the newspapers that would be published a year from now. "Very well. Your wish shall be granted." With that, the genie vanished the same way he came, in a shroud of smoke, and in its place were the papers the man wanted.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
He flipped to the pages that would give him information of the stock market. Happily, he started planning his potential investments and how he would splurge on himself. Feeling very pleased, he began to relax and started browsing through the news. As he turned another page, he saw his own face, on an obituary. A year later, he would pass away into oblivion. That certainly changed his priorities in life.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">remember the spate of cat abuse incidents that happened in yishun last year? along with that, it brings to mind the kind old ladies or aunties who are always feeding the stray cats. one poem she shared was inspired by these aunties who are guardian angels for the cats. Titled 'Vigilaunty', it is so apt and humourous and the ending speaks of a heartfelt truth, "if you see an old lady squatting, open <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">tin in hand, maybe join her and you might understand the quiet joy that comes from a purring cat, not all kind gestures must be grand."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the other poem she shared was about a detention centre she visited in London. Yarl's Wood Immigration Detention Removal Centre is a detention centre for foreign nationals prior to their deportation from the United Kingdom, one of 13 such centres currently in the UK. just last year, hundreds protest for the closure of the centre in response to the countless detainee abuse cases. in the poem, she shares her honest feelings about trying to make sense of it all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">it's so true. there are just some experiences in life, they shake you, you just can't pretend to know or understand it all.</span><br />

in a world where atrocities, known and unknown, are committed every day, it seems that no amount of good anyone does will ever make a difference. world peace is an elusive concept and out of reach for many. yet, hope never dies and while this moving historical moment will not obliterate all the evils in this world, it is one that shows the road to restoration can start with repentance and forgiveness. more than a pact to mend broken ties, it is a promise never to hurt, and to take a tough stand to protect, not what is mine nor what is yours, but what belongs to us.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">the meaning of theatre has changed for me over the years but certainly, it has deepened in some ways. however, for these Afghanistan ladies who pursue acting in a highly restrictive context, it is literally a matter of life and death. some of them had lost their lives in their pursuit. as you watch some of these ladies, who lived to tell their tales, break down because they had lost their friends and because it was such a tough battle, you can feel the sadness and the angst i<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">n them in the same vein. yet, the bravery of these passionate ladies as they put up a fight in their own ways to fulfill their dreams is no less compelling and shines through.</span></span></div>

so, as i was reading this, it brought to mind the kindness extended to me this morning - a beautiful and breezy morning. seeing that i seemed to be having some trouble with my bicycle brakes, an old lady on wheelchair offered me a tool that she thought might be of help. then, an uncle on bicycle came along and offered to fix the brakes. one look at it and immediately, he knew what was wrong with it and told us to wait while he went to fetch his tools. when he was upstairs, he shouted, don't leave yet, okay? i am coming down soon. and so he fixed my brakes and shared with us stories about his 45-year-old French model bicycle and his road trips with friends to Malaysia in the old days. as Royce Yap puts it so aptly, 这就是人情味。<br /><br />because of such kindness, i could complete the route without any mishap. route : bendemeer-sports hub-gardens by the bay-east coast park (up to food centre)-marina barrage-marina bay sands-esplanade-city hall-little india JerMaine @}-----http://www.blogger.com/profile/03835105936209261565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77007792019818223.post-34694108094240890692016-09-03T19:48:00.000+08:002016-12-01T20:03:02.515+08:00train to busani wonder<br /><br />how it feels to be paralysed with fear <div>

how a song can help a child be brave and walk through a dark tunnel<br /><br />the 'Train to Busan' gives one an inkling.i wonder how the child actor (the only one in the show) who plays su-an was prepped for the movie and the impact on herthe actors are incredible. I mean those who acted as zombies. i wonder how many knees were scraped and muscles torn as they pounced on one another, jerked their necks and twisted their arms here and there.will i be that one to push others to death to save my own skin or that one to save others while struggling to hold on tightly to life? it's clear what selfishness and selflessness look like. it's also easy to criticise the selfish ones and to applaud the noble ones when you are just an onlooker.what will i choose to do if i was in the midst of it all? i shudder at the thought. feeling the tremors in my hands.and may i add : haven't screamed in a movie for the longest time but my screams were mostly the soundless type. speechless shock.</div>

There were emotional bits in me in response to the play. Felt the grieve and guts of a mother who lost her child to a criminal whom she had seemingly forgiven. But, more keenly felt, the intellectual part. The delving into the criminal mind and human heart was intriguing. A criminal who had a haunted past. Is such a criminal capable of true remorse? Is it a crime of evil or a crime of illness? A revelation at the end made me examine that question further. Each character, frozen in his own struggle and yet intertwined with that of others, trying to unthaw in his search for what's humane before complete self-destruction.

If you see injustice, call it out.Or better yet, give feedback. Prove to yourself that this PAP government is responsive.<br /><br />OWN THE RESULT. People chose. People like you and me. They are not less intelligent or less Singaporean because of this. They probably love the food you love and listen to the same music.<br /><br />If we continue finding reasons to hate on each other, then whatever grand plans you held for Singapore on Sept 10th were not gonna bring us forward anyway.<br /><br />CHOOSE HOPE. Participate in the community, be part of the many schemes, ground up movements, VWOs who don't just need money but passionate people who want to see less inequality and more care for the vulnerable.<br /><br />CHOOSE LOVE: I don't know when anger made something better.I really can't recall the last time it did. Any sustained action, every commitment I made that resulted in anything was made in love.So be kind to yourself. This is not the end. There are many who love this little rock in the ocean. Find them and create more than a vote for a party.<br /><br />Go talk to those cardboard aunties so they will become more than the 2 dimensional brickbat that got tossed around for months.<br /><br />Go help with families in the 1 room flats.

I was nervous at first, but at the exact moment that I realised we had lost, a peace came unto me. It was done. I shook the hands of our tearing counting agents and couldn't thank them enough. I shook the hands of the PAP counting agents, who respectfully wished me the best and gave me a slight bow even. I walked downstairs to join Allan and my wife. Allan seemed surprised by my calm as I told them we have lost by a landslide. My wife knew where I was, in my meditation zone.<br /><br />The people has spoken and the collective wisdom is always right. Analysts will fall over one another in the coming weeks to discern the hearts of voters. For me, the meaning of the results is clear. It is a ringing endorsement of the PAP's programme of going back to its centre-left roots and PM Lee's leadership. It is also a nod to WP's brand of rational and responsible politics, since the seats won in GE2011 were returned. But with caveats: work harder, and buck up, in both town management and Parliament; less egoism and opportunism, more depth, humility and courage, more listening and walking.<br /><br />I wrote previously that winning isn't everything and the manner of the contest and our contribution to the continuing democratic process is far more important. I am especially proud of my teammates and volunteers and thankful for those of you who wrote to me with heartfelt words of support. I am very touched by a strong PAP supporter writing me a long letter of encouragement, because he too believe we need to move beyond cynical politics and venom we witnessed this season. My hope is that the PAP will use this to change its DNA further and return to servant-leadership away from princely self-righteousness. My work is to continue this national service to build up the WP as a credible choice and voice to keep the iron in Singapore's veins.<br /><br />In the end all that matters is we found the time to love, and it is the time now, again, to do so with our families, friends and fellow countrymen and women. No politics of hate for me. Time for our thank you parade!JerMaine @}-----http://www.blogger.com/profile/03835105936209261565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77007792019818223.post-48379513735729819662015-10-01T19:42:00.000+08:002016-12-01T19:59:29.621+08:007 LettersAnyway, I just watched the 7 letters with my bro this morning. Thought I wouldn't cry at the last one but I still did. My bro, too. I've never watched any movie twice but I'm glad I did for this one.<br />
The stories which didn't leave a deep impression before now did.<br />
<br />
Now, I feel the Indian guy's struggle and admire the Indian lady's courage to stand up to her father-in-law because of a Flame (title of film) in her, not wanting her unborn child to be a 2nd class citizen in another country. "Home is the journey back to oneself." quotes K Rajahgopal the filmmaker.<br />
<br />
Title of next film - Pineapple town. Why did that mom go to all that trouble to find her daughter's birth mother? I realised it was to let her know her roots. "We are what we know." quotes Tan Pin Pin the filmmaker. I like the last part, clever technique of presenting the vantage point of someone in a moving vehicle watching as the little girl had a photo taken beside the big pineapple sculpture - as if her birth mom was in the car watching as it zoomed past.<br />
<br />
After watching 7 letters, my bro says it brought back not only memories but nostalgic feelings that warm the heart.JerMaine @}-----http://www.blogger.com/profile/03835105936209261565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77007792019818223.post-47769031011079331692015-05-30T18:38:00.001+08:002015-05-30T18:48:59.330+08:00lor mee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
