Live A Life Of No Regret

Would like to put up a short note on the recent
Cambodia tragedy. Before you read further, can you please join me in a minute of silence, in memory to the 5 young wonderful men who had lost their life?

Life is short, so let us treasure this life that we have. All of us will never know what will happen next, so if you can, express your love to your love ones, says a word of gratitude to those who had done us good, thank those around you, while we are still alive.

A short poem to these young men.

Life come and goes,
Never can we know when we will go.
For your dream, you had pursued,
With a commitment that dearly cost you,
But without regret, I believe
To all of you, I salute
May your soul be forever blessed



Hopefully, this poem will all spurred all my young reader to live a life of no regret.

Salute Such Teachers!!!

Ya, it’s time to update my blog. Can see lots of cobwebs all over. Anyway would like to share with my readers something that I saw last week that touches my heart.

Last week we had a handover ceremony for a software done for Rainbow Center. If you do not know what this center do, let me give you a short description. This center caters for kids that are a “little” different from normal kids. Some of the kids are autistics; some are with Down syndrome, some with muscular problem. Anyway, it was their graduation ceremony and we too the opportunity to do the handover. This graduation ceremony was one that I had never seemed before. It was so different from any graduation ceremony that I had attended. You can take a look at the photos. The kids were running all over, and teachers were trying to restrain them.

When it was time for some of them to go on stage to perform, teachers were also on stage to assist. Each teacher were looking after a few kids, you could see that the kids were all going a little haywire in their performance. No, I am not trying to laugh at them!!!

What touches me, were the teachers. I could see that they were really one with lots of compassion and patience. Unless you have such characteristic, you can never be a teacher in such school. To these teachers, I take my hat off and salute them. I doubt I will have such compassion and patience to handle such kids. The teachers were really such wonderful teachers, and though at times they are firm with their students, but yet you can see that their love were so evident. How I wish our teachers have such a passion for teaching our students. Too often, I had seen too much of office politics, even in school, that nowadays, teachers are no longer what they used to be. Let’s hope that things will change for the better!!!

Beware Of Repercussion!!!

My colleague sent me a link about ang mo who bullied an elderly man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB_GoQ-h9Zg Go ahead have a look.

When I first view the video, it tugged at my heart strongly. Not so much on the bullying but rather to see such an old man who was toiling to make a living. Can you see how he strained himself? It was so heart wrenching to see such an old man to be toiling in his twilight of his life. Where is our respect for the elderly? Where is our filial piety? Are all these now just a dying “attitude”? What is happening to our humanity?

Firstly, will we come to a stage where we leave the elderly to fend for themselves while we who had been brought up by them, choose to enjoy our own life without a pang of guilty conscience when we see our parents etc working like that? Let me tell you that I believe in repercussion. For all the evil that we did, we will one day reap the outcome of it. For abandoning the elderly, you may one day be abandon by your own kids!!! Please spare a thought for your elders

Secondly, will the younger generation come to such a deplorable state that we enjoy taunting the elderly, showing no respect at all? So what if you had tones of money? So what if you are filthy rich? So what if you are so influential? To me, you deserve to go to HELL for adopting such an attitude!!! For those who enjoy bullying the elderly, I hope that one day, all your wealth, all your health will be removed from you!!! Sound evil, but I can’t help it when ever I see such incidents. Pardon me

That is the reason why I am so against the policy of having the elderly working to an old age. Hey, give them time to enjoy some life after toiling for so many years, laboring to bring up the family. That’s all for today
