HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR

It's CHINESE NEW YEAR...

Actually, I'm supposed to go back to Taiwan on 31 January to help up with teachers' camp. But my dad doesn't allow.

Shitstead, Nette, Kat... So when can we meet up?
My time is packed! So many people to meet. Yet time is short and passes very fast.

I'm backed

Well, I came back on 17 January 2009. My blog was rather dead because I don't really bother to use the computer until today. I am really fine in Taiwan, I love the learning environment there... STRESS FREE! =D I learn lots of stuff there. I learn to be strong when encountering adversities. I love my friends and teachers there. They are nice people. You hardly find any people with the same goals living together. We don't compete but we help one another. We stand up together. We never stood alone. My life... I woke up at 4am every morning and sleep at 10pm. But I feel that I had enough sleep. I realized farming is fun! I get to experience fun that Singaporean kids will never experience. I hope that everyone can experience it! I'm kinda lazy to continue! Sorry! Call me if you wanna know more. I'm going back on 7 February. (I'm so sorry Qian Ting, I didn't do that delibrately.) Meanwhile, I may be going back to JJ or NCHS. Pardon me if you are not used to my accent!

TAIWAN HERE I COME

GOODBYE FRIENDS!
SEE YOU IN THE SPRING!

A Gift for you guys... MEANINGFUL QUOTES AND EXCERPTS!

The best protection from one another
is loving-kindness for one another.

Excerpt: How Acceptance of Suffering Transcends It
If you do not realise you are suffering, how do you end it? - stonepeace

If we have an unpleasant feeling, we take that feeling in our arms like a mother holding her crying baby. The "mother" is mindfulness and the "crying baby" is the unpleasant feeling. Mindfulness and conscious breathing are able to calm the feeling. If we do not hold the unpleasant feeling in our arms but allow it just to remain in us, it will continue to make us suffer. "Breathing in, I touch the unpleasant feeling in me. Breathing out, I touch the unpleasant feeling in me."

We do not view irritation as an enemy coming to invade us. We see that we are that irritation in the present moment. When we are irritated, we know, "This irritation is in me. I am this irritation," and we breathe in and out in this awareness. Thanks to this approach, we no longer need to oppose, expel, or destroy our irritation. When we practice looking deeply, we do not set up barriers between good and bad in ourselves and transform ourselves into a battlefield.

We treat our irritation with compassion and nonviolence, facing it with our heart filled with love, as if we were facing our own baby sister. We bring the light of awareness to it by breathing in and out mindfully. Under the light of awareness, our irritation is gradually transformed. Every feeling is a field of energy. A pleasant feeling is an energy that can nourish. Irritation is a feeling that can destroy. Under the light of awareness, the energy of irritation can be transformed into a kind of energy that nourishes us.

GOODBYE!

FLY FLY FLY

I went to Pasir Ris MRT Station today morning to meet Yuxi, Yu Bin, Yu Hong, Kai Xin, Wei Xin and Wei Xian before heading to Yu Xuan's house. Kai Kai and Zhong Kang were there of course. We were supposed to make cards for BWEP teachers. There was lack of materials, so we went to White Sand in the afternoon to get more materials. Well, Yu Bin, Yu Hong, Wei Xin and Wei Xian were watching KFP before that. We had lunch there as well. Yu Bin and Yu Hong are so sweet! (: Goodness, it began to rain when we were about to leave. ): We had to stay till the rain stops. We went back to Yu Xuan's house. Wen Jun and his friend arrived. We started with our work and Chang Juan arrived. I couldn't stay too long, so I left with Kai Xin, Yuxi, Yu Bin and Yu Hong. Oh no, the rain began to pour again when we stepped out of the lift. Yu Xuan only has TWO umbrellas to lend us. AND MY UMBRELLA SPOILS. Well, that's so sad.I shared the umbrella with Yu Bin and Yu Hong. It was too small to shelter three of us. Worst of all, my paper bag got wet by the rain and torn. My colour pencils, paints and papers dropped on the puddle. POOR YU BIN YU HONG had to help me picked them up in the rain. And we were ALL WET NOW. I couldn't go home. So I went to their house. I showered and got changed with Yu Xi's clothings. YU BIN YU HONG helped me repacked my stuff. **TOUCHED** Then lend me an umbrella and I left. Yuxi went back to Yu Xuan's house again. So we took bus 89 together. THANK YOU SO MUCH YUXI, YU BIN AND YU HONG!

Excerpt: Art Without the Artist

The illusion of self is the first, present and final trap. - stonepeace


Life is a creative process that is happening in this present moment. The only reality we have is the present moment. The objective of spiritual practice is to close the gap between reality and what we think is real. When we succeed in letting go of our notions of self, we become one with our lives, one with this moment. There is no self, no other, no this or that. The universe exists in its entirety within each moment. This is what it means to forget the self - to see that there is, in fact, no self. To live knowing that there is no self is what in Zen is called the action of non-action. Our activity, regardless of its nature, is allowed to flow by itself. It develops spontaneously, without forcing or straining - like the way we grow our hair. There is no deliberate intent whatsoever...

In art, when the artist has stepped out of the way, the brush paints by itself, the camera photographs by itself, the dance dances by itself. There is no reflection, hesitation, or self-consciousness. There is just the complete expression of that event, of that meeting. The creative process, like the workings of a spiritual journey, points us towards our essential nature, which is a reflection of the boundless creativity of the universe.

TIME JUST FLIES WITHOUT WAITING.

It's August!
It just arrives without me knowing it.

I've been spending time with my family and relatives ever since Sheng Kai and Qian Qi came back. 28 days are short. REALLY. I hardly contact my friends, even coming online to blog. I also spent my times with BW mates like Cherylc, Yu Zhuang, Amelia, Yi Rui, (Li+Shi+Shu)Ting, Zhi Hong etc... I'm so sorry that I have not much time for other friends like my SHITSTEAD, beloved JUNIORS (ESP DAUGHTERS!!!!!!!!) and Darling Qian Ting, Wen Jie, Xu Yao, CRANK, Charlene, Pearly... other JJCians etc. ): And Zhabo's too! And also LALA, XUE YAN, MIN MIN, HUI YU, WINNIE, JESSIE. SINDY as well. Haha! AND ALOYSIUS. I do miss them, I do!

I've to teach little children every Wednesday and Friday. I think I'm learning more than I'm teaching. They are great bunch of people for me to learn from.

WELL, my entries are no longer as detailed as I had in the past. BUT I'M FINE. (: AND I'LL BE FINE.

OKAY, LET ME ELABORATE ABOUT PULAU UBIN TRIP. IT'S KINDA TOO LATE.
I took BUS 109 with SHU TING early in the morning together with her brother instead of meeting the rest at Tampines MRT station. We met Cherylc and Jessica along the journey. The others were late. So since we were EARLY, we went to had breakfast at Changi Point. And we saw our MR GUIDE- Brother Yao Ping. When the rest arrived, we went to JETTY. Yu Han, the MR CAMERA MAN was in the same boat as ME AND CHERYL. AND HE WILL NEVER GET TO TAKE OUR CANDID SHOTS BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS READY TO POSE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. Hahahaha! I took picture of LITING. HAHA. Cheryl and I took lots of crazy pictures even before we reached Pulau Ubin. OH YA! MR KP (Kok Pern) TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE TRIP AND HE RUSHED FROM BISHAN TO THE JETTY JUST BEFORE WE BOARDED THE BOAT. Phew! But... He only brought $7 and the trip cost $5. So he has no money to rent his bike. Well, talking about renting bicycle. $7 per bike. YU ZHUANG AND I GOT THE SWEETEST BIKE, THOUGH IT'S NOT AS SWEET AS COUPLE BIKE. I had problems on my way to chek jawa. THOUGH THE BIKE IT'S SWEET, THE CHAIN WAS LOOSE! Arriving Chek Jawa, we went up the wooden "Tower" and had a great view of chek jawa. Mind you, it was shaky when we were up there. We went down and look at different habitats. We saw mangrove swarms, sea grass, and "CHERYL'S BEATIFUL CONDOMINIUMS" The breeze was wonderful. I REALLY REALLY NEED TO THANK THE GUIDE FOR BRINGING US THERE. (: We rode back to the bicycle rental shop to return the bike. Then we had coconut juice. (: AT THAT TIME, CHERYL REALISED THAT YONG LIANG SHARES THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS HERS! And she was moaning that I'm leaving at the day before her birthday. MR GUIDE BOUGHT US RAMBUTANS. We went back to Changi Jetty and had our lunch. Then we went back home.

LET ME CONTINUE THEN.
I brought my Siblings to Vivo City that afternoon. My Uncle and cousin, AGG were there too. We were meeting Sheng Kai's Taiwan's classmate and his family. We played and had dinner together then we went home.

THE NEXT DAY...
My family went out to meet Sheng Kai's friend's family for lunch then we went to my uncle's shop then to my grandpa's place.

THE DAY AFTER...
My mum, my sister, my brother and I went to JURONG BIRD PARK to meet SHENG KAI'S FRIEND AND FAMILY AGAIN. SERIOUSLY. I HAVE BIRD PHOBIA.

WELL. SHAN'T ANY FURTHER. I SHALL TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY.
I had a great night with my great pals -- Yu Zhuang, (Li+Shi+Shu)Ting, Amelia and Zhi Hong at Plaza Singapura for Dinner. (: I HOPE CHERYL CAN JOIN US IN FUTURE.


NOTHING MUCH TODAY. Toodles!

MY BELOVED ONES ARE BACKED!

QIANQI AND SHENG KAI ARE BACKED!

This means that I will be spending more time with them. I shall be hardly contactable. They have grown. They are sweeter than before.

SATURDAY- Meetings and ARRIVAL OF BWEP STUDENTS
I spent my afternoon and evening with my usual SATURDAY PALS-- Shu Ting, Li Ting,Hui Yun, Yu Han, Zhi Hong, Da Xian. (Usually Jessica, Yu Zhuang and Yong Liang are there too.) We had BREAD and SOUP for dinner. Then I went to meet Cherylc and we took MRT to Changi Airport. We went to sit around at POPEYE. Cherylc was doing her TYS. We stayed there till 11pm when the plane had landed... Oh my, I was so UNPREPARED to welcome my two little siblings back. QIAN QI HAS GROWN TALLER!!! SO HAS SHENG KAI. OH MY! QIAN QI IS SO COOL! SHE CAME BACK WITHOUT LUGGAGE.




SUNDAY
We stayed at home in the morning. We went to visit our relatives in the evening and came back at night. We sent our elder brother back to Kranji Camp.

TODAY
I went to BWS early in the morning today because my brother and sister had to take passport-size pictures. Then we went for the summer vacation briefing and we went to Coffee shop for lunch. I SAW ELIZABETH CHAN KE SHUANG! She was my primary one and two classmate! After lunch, we went home. All of us were too tired that we dozed off for quite long! Well. Nothing much.


DEAR FRIENDS,
I'm so sorry that you all are being neglected these days. I have been spending more time with my family these days. But these are inevitable. ):
