The HUGE fighting spirit of a tiny worm

Yesterday when I was waiting to cross the road, I noticed a tiny beautiful bright green worm was hanging in the air down from the tree. You told me to pick it up and put it onto a safe place so that it will not be stepped by someone. I did. The little worm immediately crawled onto my hand. I slowly let it crawl safely back onto the stem of the tree. It is full of energy, moving so lively and quickly.

Today it was raining so heavily. I started to think of little worm. Wondered if it is safe out there. You told me that it is saved by me because of it's tough spirit, fighting so hard to hang on so that one day, it will become a butterfly and it will be free. Or if it is not, maybe it will be drowned in the rain or eaten by birds. That means it will reincarnate and in heaven now. What matter most is I saved him yesterday and that's a good deed.

Little worm has thought me a lesson, a tiny life that is full of energy to achieve his dream, never giving up even though it is risking its life out there. He does not have the luxury to choose if he likes it or not. He chooses to move on step by step till he reaches his goal. Yet we human always grumble and complain about our life, our job, our relationship, about things that we could not get but never even try hard enough to achieve. We may be huge, but we tend to have a mind and heart that is smaller than this worm.

I want to live the spririt of little worm, to be tougher in life, to be happy and live life to the fullest. Treasure every moment in life. Hope you do.

Shock of my life...

Never expect to be receiving flowers...

First You brought me sunshine when I was feeling down...

HAPPY 2008!!!

Yeah! It is finally year 2008!!! Hope I can leave behind all the unhappiness in the last one stressful year!

It has been a very meaningful night for me. After work at 8pm, I took a stroll down to balestier and went for a light dinner, hoping and waiting for friends to call me, which the supposingly gatherings seems to have been cancelled without notification. hmm... thought of taking the bus home, then I passed by the Burmese temple and I thought it would be nice to pray at the temple since its a new year. However, the temple was not open. So I still did a little prayer at the gate then walk my way to the bus stop. Got on to bus 130, then it passed by Guang Ming Shan, so I got down the bus.

To my expectation, there is some blessing and praying activities. Never expect there is a count down too. haha... It was around 10.15pm, so I took my time to pray to all the buddha, lighted a candle and made some wishes. Weather was great with nice cool breeze. At about 11.20pm I sat with the crowds on the stairs, waiting for the blessing ceremony to start. At 12am, the monk will hit the bell 108 times. I closed my eyes and started chanting until it ended. Everyone clapped and wished each other Happy New Year. It was great! First time spending my count down at a temple. It feels better than any countdown party. At least you feel that you gained something: blessings.

Seems like all my troubles have follow the sound of the bell, gone. I feel happy. Of coz, thank you for all your New Year wishes. And thank YOU too. Hope next year, we can spend this moment together, getting blessed.

After the ceremony, I take a relaxing stroll home, not directly home, but headed to the count down party behind my block. Seemed like many have left after the fireworks. Some of the residents still there waiting a band performance. The lead singer seemed to have lost his voice. haha... Then I headed straight to AMK hub, hoping to catch a late night movie, and YES! Just nice at 1am, I bought a ticket to watch National Treasure: book of secrets. Nice! Movie ended at 3.15am. Finally, really heading home this time. Felt tired but fulfilling. I look forward to this new year.

May everything goes well! Wish you all good health and happiness always!
