RAY after STORM (阳光总在风雨后)

Lunar New Year is around the corner. Many especially Chinese are preparing for this great year of Ox to arrive but many are facing undesirable situations such as wars, sickness, lost of jobs, reduction of pay etc etc which diminish the joy of celebrations.

However, we must have this Faith and Strength to Fight and Survive. All we need is Hope and Courage. I always tell my friends and myself when we face difficulties that we should "fight like a warrior"....."We are warrior of life".

So friends, believe that Ray of Hope and Happiness are awaiting after storm. I like this song RAY after STORM (阳光总在风雨后-yang guang zong zai feng yu hou) and would like to share with all of you. Always remember my friends......hope is always in your hand.

阳光总在风雨后
乌云上有晴空
珍惜所有的感动
每一份希望在你手中
(Sun will emersed after storm
There is clear sky above the dark clouds
Cherish all the touching moments
Hopes are in your hand)

阳光总在风雨后
请相信有彩虹
风风雨雨都接受
我一直会在你的左右
(Sun will emersed after storm
Please believe there's rainbow
Accept stormy days
I'll be by your side....always)



只有在风雨后我们才会体会阳光的可爱
那刺破苍穹的万丈光芒才会真正的温暖人心
只有经历了一些小小风雨后
才会真正学会面对人生
如果是为拥有一个精彩的人生过程
那么我们无论是风雨，阳光，甜蜜还是打击
也永远不要放弃我们的梦想
因为梦想终将实现！
努力吧朋友！

Happy New Year 2009

Warmest Wishes from Tiki & Family !!!


祝大家在新的一年里：
小人远离您，贵人扶持您！！！
健康,平安，幸福，快乐 ！！！

Merry Christmas to All

MAY THE WORLD BE FILLED WITH JOYS AND LOVE !!!

Happy 83rd Birthday Swami - Sathya Sai Baba 23.11.08

For my friends who doesn't know or not familiar with my beloved teacher Sathya Sai Baba, this message from him is self explanatory :

"I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster. I have not come on behalf of any exclusive religion. I have not come on a mission of publicity for a sect or creed or cause, nor have I come to collect followers for a doctrine. I have no plan to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of this unitary faith, this spiritual principle, this path of Love, this virtue of Love, this duty of Love, this obligation of Love. (4 July 1968, Baba)"

Today it's Baba's birthday. However, to ascribe the term 'Birthday' to the Birthless one seems inappropriate. Advent would be better to describe the magnitude of the event of the Supreme coming into our midst in a human form. As a devotees, we refer to it as Birthday. Swami has no desire to have his Birthday celebrated. Such trivial thoughts never goes to him. The celebration is to share his Love with us and to encourage us to lead lives full of bliss, aware of the unity of mankind, promote love and service the joy to every one on earth.

My god sis Ting reminded me a few days ago about the celebrations of the birthday held in Singapore Tao Payoh In Door Stadium. My God mum and dad who are one of the organisers for Chinese team will be singing Mandarin songs from 2pm for half an hour. They are very devoted and practicing Baba's teachings.

The even started from 6am till 9pm. The Stadium is packed with devotees and visitors. As usual, we went in the evening after taking vegetarian dinner in Bancoolen Foodcourt. It's raining cats and dogs. I'm not worried at all as I know Swami will make it easy for me and my family. I speak to him in my heart "Baba, I'm sure the rain will stop after our dinner." The rain stop after our dinner. The sky is clear the moment we finish our grain of rice. Baba heard me and love me as usual.



The night is wonderful and the songs are nice. We offer our respect to him and left for the night with bliss. Baba doesn't travel so he is not physically present in Singapore. However, we know our beloved Swami is present and always loving and teaching us. I bought some key chains and we are are also given wonderful gift.....the holy and healing gifts.



Happy Birthday Swami. I know you are always happy, everywhere. You said so. I know you want us to be happy all through, not just waiting for the birthday to recur every year. I will and I'll continue practicing your teachings even though I'm still very amateur.

Swami......
Thanks for guiding me when I'm weak. I'll keep trying to be a better person when many times I'm still very weak.
Thanks for sending me hints and messages when I'm in need.
Thanks for your Love and teachings.

Welcome Calla Lily

CallaLily is from Philippines and will be with us for two years. It is of my concern whether Princess is able to accept her as she is extremely close to Roselle. It will be a nightmare to me if she doesn't get along with CallaLily.

It's the first time CallaLily visited Singapore and we hope she can make our home and family as hers like what Roselle did.

I pray to Baba many times for granting someone who loves my family with right attitude. With love, all problems will be solved easily. Princess is a very particular girl that she will not allow anybody who is not familiar to her to carry her. However, to my surprise, she is allowing CallaLily to play and care for her. God is great and he loves me so much. I can't thank enough for Baba's love and teachings.

To ease the tension and welcome CallaLily, We had dinner in Great World Food Junction. CallaLily is able to take spicy food and ET ordered for her a very spicy Malay food. It's really spicy. haha..

ET was in the mood of eating and he too ordered Malay rice Plus Grill Chicken in Hot Plate. Yes, that is the reason why he is having the size that he is having now. The kids enjoy Japanese Bento and I had Steaming hot seafood soup serving on mini steam boat.



After the sumptuous dinner, we headed back home for early rest. Yes, I said Early Rest cos we slept at 2.30am. The boys club slept early but the girls had party with Princess till 2.30am. As usual, Princess refused to sleep early and play till 2.30am. What a task for CallaLily on her first night. Hey CallaLily, very soon you will have two beautiful little panda eyes. No make up needed ;)

I took leave to guide CallaLily and ET will teach her and pass her all his culinary skills. I believe in no time, she will be a great chef. I took pics for her first dinner she prepared for us. Not bad for a person who doesn't know how to cook Chinese dishes.

First dish, Pork Vegetables Soup

Complement with, Pouch Egg

The following day, we had appointment with Gong Gong to have lunch in Zion Road Hawker Center. As usual, we had Bak Kut Teh, chicken rice and seafood soup.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to my two lovely sons Supercute and Black Ninja. The day we sent Roselle to airport, it's early in the morning and we returned home around 6am. For some reason, Princess was awake and Supercute was taking care of her. He had prepared nutritious breakfast (half bowl eggs with coffee and toasts) for all of us too. Black Ninja got ready himself independently and headed for school with his bro's nice breakfast in his cute belly.

ET is very tired as he need to rush to pick his students too. We were all exhausted but this love that my family is showing and sharing keeps us moving.

Black Ninja was having his last final year exam paper the day Roselle left. But he was very understanding and coping well. He was so happy that his exams were finally over and he could play comp the whole day. After playing for a while, he came to me and proposed that he will take a day off from school the next day to help Supercute and CallaLily in taking care of Princess. I'm delighted and speechless.

The boys really meant what they said. It has been almost a week now and Supercute is sleeping in Princess's room accompanying her till she sleeps. I know he is very tired too and many times I ask him to go ahead and sleep but he refuse to reason being I'm sick and he is not tired. There are couple of nights he dosed off before Princess. Zzzzzzz.......

Both boys will guide CallaLily too when she is in doubt. They are my left and right hand men.

Thank you boys. You boys are god sent and I never thank enough for that. Muacks.....

For Roselle

Know Roselle for almost 8 years. She came to our family when Supercute and Black Ninja were still in kindergarten. She is a great help, a great sister, a great partner and now a great mama to my my little princess.

There are many ups and downs we had been through. There were happy time, sad time, angry time, all the time we have together with lots of laughters and arguments. Like what Black Ninja says.....what went up must come down. This is the time we have to say Goodbye but I'm sure there will be time we will say Hi.....like I always stress......the world is small and we will meet some day.

Still remember very clearly the first day we met. These were our respond to Roselle :

* Supercute & Black Ninja.........MONKEY (Had a fright when they woke up from their afternoon nap and saw Roselle) !!!!

* Verytiki.........Hm.....quite pretty.

* ET.........Wow, so skinny.

The first day upon her arrival, we had dinner in KFC. She was so week at that time. After taking 1 piece of KFC (can't eat much) she vomitted....ayoh....waste my money leh :P After which, she was frequently sick....almost every two week. Fortunately, we have many medicines at home. hahaha......no worry.

On this day, memory just flashes back. What I can recall is mostly the fun time. The Malaysia trips, Sentosa resort, New Year, Christmas, National Day, the bowling, the roller coaster, vi keen, shopping, nail polishing, hair colouring & straightening, golfing, eating, movies, singing, screaming for MU goals, F1 etc etc. Of course, there were times with arguments and heat but non of us will put in heart.

I'm very glad that now Roselle is not weak (in fact she has more mussel then me) and have a fat fat belly to bring home. I have nothing much to give you for remembrance but this belly you bring home is priceless.

DO NOT BE SAD !!! NO NEED TO MISS US !!!

cos.......we are never and will never be apart.

All the memories we have for each other keeps us together !!!!

What we want to say to Roselle :

* Supercute : Haha......hehe......write blog lah (he will stay happy and look forward to meet you one day)

* Black Ninja : Ayoh.....you only go army service for two years lah. No worry lah.

* Princess : Where's mama ?

* ET : I want to eat Babui.....(sigh.....only think of food leh), pump and massage for yr mum, take good care of yr mum, use the knowledge you gain in Singapore and be a different person, don't let people take advantage, don't be stubborn, use your brain on your coconut head, sell arowana, set up restaurant, set up stall to do therapy......etc etc.

* Verytiki : Be a warior of life and make us proud. (see, always short and sweet).

Our promise to Roselle :

Study hard, excel in life, earn and save more $ (we need this to buy air ticket leh.....why not Roselle buy us ticket instead :P). Blog a lot a lot.

I'm not going to say GOODBYE. I'll only say SEE YOU SOON !!!

Promise ?.....yeah...PROMISE.

REMEMBER !!!!!!!!

NO TEARS..........I hate tears, it makes you weak !!!!!!!!

JUST LAUGHTERS !!!!!!!

;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P

CHEERS !!!

New Creation Church + Guan Yim Temple = Love

Roselle has been troubled by her mum’s sickness and we have suggested her to do prayers. We believe that with faith, nothing is impossible and miracles will happen. I’m Buddhist and she is Catholic. I truly believe what my respectful teacher (Sri Sathya Sai Baba) taught me and many others. He says “All religions call upon the one, Omnipresent God.” It is this unitary faith that he has been emphasizing that touches me, guiding me and healing me.

I have been conveying his message to my love ones and whoever in need that “Believe in God – for there is only One God for all mankind, though He may be called by many names.”

Last Sunday we arranged a trip to the Guan Yim temple in the morning for Roselle to put forward her doubts and worries. We pray for her mum’s recovery. She was given a message mentioning that there seems troubles but there’s a lotus flower rooting and blooming. Peace in choppy wave. I told her not to worry as her mum’s condition will improve. God is great.

To reassure her, we arranged with Pebbles and Riffle for attending a service in New Creation Church. I went to the Church before as a supplier of polybags and their kindness and love they had shown to a non Christian is very much appreciated. That is also the reason why we suggested visiting NC Church. This was also my first time attending a service with my kids. We met up with Pebbles + Riffle and proceeded to the Church.

We went to 4th floor as 3rd floor is occupied. Princess is only 2-1/2 year old and supposed to join the children’s class. Graciously, they allowed us to stay with Princess for our first visit with Pebble’s explanation. Pebbles accompanied Roselle to the healing room where she could do her prayers with guidance. She returned with tears.

Songs were sung and they were very touching and nice. Messages were sent across to us too. I can’t help myself to relate the message to Baba’s teaching. It’s not comparing or competing whose teaching is better. It’s mere relating the similarities in the teachings.





Pastor’s teaching : God’s power is in God’s Word. Jesus does not have to appear in the flesh for our healing and manifest miracles. God’s Word is like seed that we can sow and brings forth a mighty harvest.

Baba’s teaching : God is Love. He is omnipresent. God’s word is like ray of sun that shines at us and through us. His words are words of Grace and Pure Love. He is with us and in us. Seek it within you for there’s the ocean of nectar divine.

Paster’s teaching : God will not force us to take his word and stand on it. He lets us decide.

Baba’s teaching : God put forth his gracious love to all mankind. It’s like a man sprinkling water in a hot summer. Those who are standing in the open area enjoys the cooling mist, those choose to take shelter behind a tree receive some and those taking shelter behind tall buildings collect none. We decide where we want to stand. We can make changes and move to any spots we want. We decide. He gives and he guides.

Instruments played while Joseph Prince was addressing his message. It’s angles’ visits.

While Baba’s birth mother is pregnant with Swami, Tamboura leaning against the living-room wall twang and drum on the floor throb as if an expert hand were beating it. It foretold an auspicious birth of Baba.

It doesn’t really matters which religions you are from. It’s the spiritual principle that has been teaching. This path of Love, this virtue of Love, this duty of love, this obligation of love that has been extended to us. God is Great and we are bless with his divine and pure Love.

Sri Sathya Sia Speaks :
There is only one Caste, the caste of humanity
There is only one Religion, the religion of love
There is only one Language, the language of the heart
There is only one God and He is Omnipresent

There’s something funny happened while we were in the service. We had a good laugh whenever we talk about it. When bread and small cup of red juice passes around (representing flesh and blood of Jesus), Roselle and I pick up a piece and put into our mouth instantly. We didn’t know that we have to wait for the blessing before we eat. I have a misconception of eating immediately because in my JC, we would go up to the pastor and he will give us the bread and drink where we would eat immediately. God is great, he blesses us with double dosages !!!

After the service we notice that there’s F1 show held on ground floor lobby. Click click click, my habit to take pictures again. Black ninja was approached by a lady and he filled up a lucky draw coupon. Wish you good luck handsome (that lady said he is handsome and should have many girl friends). Haha…see who is the mother lah.

Riffle bought some doughnuts and we headed home as ET got ready food at home waiting for our arrival. All of us squeeze into Riffle’s F1 car. It’s really fun to pack like sardine and race like F1 driver. We drove passed F1 race track and we keep making F1 car’s noise “OOooooo…….”. We had great food and MU Super Sunday match (draw again.....sigh....) Anyway, it’s a wonderful day filled with Love and joy.

SUNNY's Famous Chili Crab & Bee Hoon

SUNNY Gong Gong is my mum's god brother. He is like a father to me and a grandpa to my kids. He is so young at heart and tough like a iron rock. Sportsman like him has been collecting many awards and trophies in skying, bowling, boat racing, golf, diving and shooting. He is teaching us Golf and definitely a perfect Golf Pro to many. Many times, my kids just fool around with him as though they are of same age.

He invited us over to his place last night for dinner to celebrate the completion of my kids' examinations. Hmm.....it's just an excuse to celebrate...actually we are just aiming for his famous Chili Crab and Bee Hoon. He is a brilliant cook.

Jo, Supercute, Black Ninja and Mei Mei went to Gong Gong's house in the afternoon to get the food ready. Gong Gong tought Supercute to cook vegetables and he excels it. ET and I arrived in the evening follow by Pebbles and UR. The braised duct that ET bought complements the meal. Pebbles and I kept taking pictures for our blogs while the rest were busy eating. The meal ended well with canned dessert, bananas, gin lime and crackers.

Supercute, Jo and Mei Mei stay over for the night for computer games. I've downloaded a few pc games for them to compete with each other at night. Apparently, Gong Gong was hooked to the game. I heard from Supercute that Gong Gong kept playing and was the last one to end the game :P. Looks like we have another PC Game addict. Welcome to the club Gong Gong.

LOVE PASSES ON (爱….流通于世)

There’s a saying……When it is practical, it is logical. It has been more then two weeks after Sichuan earthquake. The pains and sorrows are still hurting many hearts. If it is logical, the logic is disastrous. However, when there’s great pain, there comes great love.

Being a proud Singaporean, being distance away from the people in Myanmar and China, we do our part. I’m a proud mother of my sons and daughter knowing that my kids feel for the less fortunate, willing to show their sympathy and share what they have. Their school has done their fund raising and all kids, teachers, parents had donated. They are very supportive and loving towards the less fortunate.

After reading so many news and stories, I share all with my kids by asking them to watch news and websites broadcasting videos on the disaster.

On the following day, my younger son told his teacher what he saw on the web and how sad he felt. It’s after exams and all students are enjoying playing board games, cards and chatting in class. Thus, his teacher wants my son to share what he has learned from the news to his classmates. Without second words, my son search for the site and open the video link. The class pc is connected to a projector and the whole class was able to view the clip.

The clip is about a mother crouching while the house collapse and under her crouching body is her 3-4 months baby. She is dead protecting the baby but the baby is alive. Rescuer found a hand phone in the baby’s blanket with a message….”Dear baby, if you are alive, I want you to know, I love you forever."

The class went all silence. My son told me that he can even hear the fan rotating when initially it’s like a market place. Tears fall from all the kid’s beautiful eyes. Kids are angels, they don’t hide their feelings. They are pure, innocent and filled with love.

My son came back that day, telling me what had happen in the class. He told me, he donated all his saving. I am a proud mother. I’m so touch and so glad that my sons has heart of gold.

我们把心给了别人,就收不回来了;
别人又给了别人,爱便流通于世。(顾城).

Sichuan Earthquake (四川大地震)

It pains all heart since 12 May 2008 (Black Monday).

So many lost their home, their kids, their parents, their teachers, their students, their doctor, their nurse......their love ones. News from TV, radio, web keep pouring in with news that hurt so much. On the other hand, love immerse from all over the world besides the wonderful selfless rescue team to provide aids to the unfortunate.

China Premier Wen Jiabao, who has been in the quake zone since Monday 12.05.08 continuously comforting the people and urging the rescue team to keep up their efforts. This shows what a great leadership should be.

Priorities began shifting on 15 May 2008 (Thursday) from the hunt for survivors to dealing with the dead. Officials said the final toll could more than double to 50,000.

My family in Singapore and many others too are putting in efforts by donating to red cross. My sons are keeping up with the news from Yahoo news everyday. I'm glad that they display concern and love for the less fortunate and put into action by donating.

(More news and touching articles from : http://www.omy.sg/news/feature/index.html )

Salute to the countless rescue teams and survivors for their love and courage. My full respect to all that extend their helping hands and love.

为逝者志哀，为生者祈福 !!!
再大的困难，我们选择坚强!!!
