My iCal is packed

Being busy does not alway mean being productive. Ouch!
But being busy is definitely being distracted from the humdrum of life. Cool!
Looking forward to new passport with immigration stamps and new visas!
Thanks to you, Life.
Damn thanks to the below link for the super cool picture:
Cornucopia,
The abundance prepares for
The masked-off: new self.
Singapore – October 16, 2019 / 21:39
2019 has opened an extraordinary road of becoming the whole me. Many major lessons are learnt here.
Previous me always thought that things were between good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, strong and weak, one extreme and the other extreme, BLACK & WHITE. It was too much and I hold it no more.
What’s coming is lots of love in myself to myself and the abundance to share — not solely about gold and coins.
Abundance is about colors that make life vibrant howsoever my potential has been tampered.
Abundance is about clarity that creates enough space for myself (and so others) to contemplate whether the situation is uplifting or not– the keyword is uplifting, not favorable or superior. If not uplifting, either has the right to walk away from the situation with respect. Without respect, the situation has failed to be a station to heal, to nurture, to expand and to liberate each other.
Abundance means enjoying life while sharing it with others. Sense of abundance can only be manifested with sharing. You share what you spare.
Abundance means living the life to the fullest. Only with the awareness of abundance human being can grab the reality of abundance. If you feel empty, you won’t care to share.
Cornucopia
A hollow horn of lots of everything that will rot if the holder keeps it with herself.
So dear, Self. Don’t let anything get rotten through this journey. Love yourself and share the good things wholeheartedly.
My Beloved, I’m grateful for the abundance and the least my feeling of abundance.
I can’t be more grateful to You for sparing me this 2019.
I am feeling loved.

What has age taught you?
Fear to lose or daringness
To shine through glory~
Temasek – October 14, 2019
Life is choking at times but mostly it feels too roomy to let yourself be offended by only a few wrong-doings or wrong decisions. If your life is as short as a mayfly’s age, you might want to fly dancing the most gracefully. Or, you just want to rest perching on the bark while praying for the best of 24 hours before your life cycle ends — this is the least suggested though.
My Beloved, please always spare me a beautiful life -I know Your definition of beautiful might be with some splash of shit in it- to share with those that matter to me (and also with those that don’t, as You wish). 💝
Please grant me clarity.
Have you ever listened to zodiac reading in Youtube?
I did.
Some time ago my friend and I came across to an idea to see if the readings of our zodiacs (Virgo and Cancer) were accurate against the actual situations. Moreover, she was curious if her love life was on the right path.
“I think your zodiac won’t agree with that Aries guy!” I said that knowing that the Aries guy was too good to be true – someone that you know…. handsome, successful, rich, loved by many (daydreaming) ladies (but in my perspective –so sorry to say– that that kind of man can be the most manipulative).
“Don’t frustrate your friend.” She snapped me sharply. Ahem!
We searched the topic using smart key words and chose zodiac readers with more than 100,000 subscribers. We assumed that the more subscribers someone has, the more trust that reader gets from his/her viewers.
We found many readers in Youtube. They have wide range of styles, accuracies, clarity, excitement and approach. Some are very detailed – imagine someone is reading your zodiac for more than one hour without pay! (I mean paid they get paid through AdSense, not you). Some are very stingy – only 6 minutes and called it “general reading”. Some are very sexy look and busier showing their sex appeal than reading integrity; some are sloppy, like just getting up from the bed and dragged by the reading schedules. Some are very brilliant speakers – this is a bit dangerous because they can just flip the fact to sound sweeter to you; some are blunt or use too many fillers in their speech like “uummm”, “errr”, “like”, etc. Some are very knowledgeable, while some are not more than making your ass hotter and want to hit the antagonist in the reading. Some are young, some are old. Most of them are female — this is not discrimination but yes, the male readers sound like female to me except the one in a cowboy style named Ramblin Mike.
No, no. I am not talking about the readers. I want to talk about the reading, that unluckily was very rarely on both of our sides. We felt that we were doomed because of having “wrong” zodiacs.
We cursed most of the time because many things didn’t reflect our situations.
And, what finally broke our laughter was when one reader said “…. Oh, your person really loves you and this person is willing to die for you blahblahblah…. But if you don’t have the same situation, this person might deal with one more Virgo and you are the antagonist one.”
Both of us: “Change reader! Hahaha….!”
Please don’t get me wrong. I respect all those readers. They have trained themselves to read either using tarot cards, oracle cards, intuition, rune, etc. I am sure some of them took advanced courses and some of them have been truly gifted spiritually. Some of them claimed that they have read for more than 20 years, with credentials that I didn’t even imagine before I found this thing in Youtube. My point is that general reading can be misleading and no one should take it for granted.
If you really want to be read through, find a trusted reader and do personal/private reading where the reader can access your energy specifically and directly. And he or she shall be good, intuitive, trustworthy and reliable reader. Clear and authentic. Genuine and sincere. High integrity and mature —
Life sometimes can feel so good when the zodiac reading is positive; even if it is not true. Damn right! :-))
Ah…. I might take a course to be an excellent reader someday so that I can read good things for everyone and make them happy…. 🙂

The Guesthouse
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
This poem was one of those discussed in the Self Discovery course I enrolled in Scotland.
So hard and torturing for my empty head that always craves for intelligence.
So intense for my empty heart that always craves for drama.
So beautiful when we read and contemplated it collectively in the classroom.
So enriching~
Awakening the sleeping giant in the corner of my Soul.
And I was so amazed that part of the poem is recited in one of songs of my favourite band Coldplay entitled “Kaleidoscope”. Enjoy!
Thank you, Rumi for waking me up with your words loaded with divine love.
The hair that’s breathing
Is given a farewell cut
By a nice lady.
Temasek – October 5, 2019 / 23:00
I decided to have my hair cut short for the second time, but this time is brutally short.
I used to have very long pitch black hair (with some grey since high school). As having shorter and shorter time in the morning to wash and dry my hair before going to work, I decided to have farewell party to my beloved hair – not really, I put the cut hair in a big envelop and keep it in the cupboard until now.
The nice lady in the beauty parlor asked me why hair cut, I said “so that I can think clearly”. She giggled and did her job dutifully. This time the cut hair wasn’t treasured; it was swept and dumped to the bin by another nice lady.
Goodbye, my dear hair. No worry, your root is still here and will grow even better. Thank you for being my crown. I love you much.
The foggy windows
Frame my morning’s first view.
It’s amazing day.
Temasek – October 3, 2019 / 21:07

My windows facing the reservoir have been glorious frames of all my morning views when I’m not away from home. No matter what mood fills my emotion, the windows welcome me with the same stillness. They are good friends with haze, rain, sun, wind while standing before me nicely with protection. Whether it is a bright day or a gloomy one, they are always successful to drag me to look out to and beyond them and say “Thanks, Life for the amazing day.”
A day without gratitude is like heart without its beat
May all beings be happy….
Eros shot a heart–
Unperceivedly wounded. Lo!
Aura’s given up.
Temasek – September 30, 2019 / 18:50
Discussed about Eros myth with my friends and found that his story evolved over time. At the early time he was just god of love and lust for everyone – EACH & EVERY ONE. Then he became the god the protector of gay male lovers. Kind of disappointing why he was changed orientation. The facts that he is a beautiful reality and we women shall not compete with more lovers from different sex are bitter, painful and kind of betraying. The competitive population added has made the chance of women’s victory drop to a very small part of pie.
Should I curse? No, I might be cursed back as discriminating.
Should I cherish? No way! I wouldn’t cherish a fact even the one I can take lessons from.
Eros, you are responsible for this. Hand me your bow and arrow. I’ll burn them before you continue your job. Oh, I probably shall flashback and kill Chaos, too. One more thing: and never let all men be born….
Koi swim happily.
A dreamer thinks hard just to

Ubud – September 28, 2019 / 14:30
I am in Ubud, Bali this weekend. I met a friend who is always wise and fun. Among all she said there was one hitting me hard yet nicely “Dear, try one thing now: change your lunch every day. You’ve got the same things for years and you need to have some fun.”
Holy smoke!!! Yes! I’ve gotta leave my rice and try some mashed potato.
Welcome me, Macs Cafe….

Remembering my friend’s message, regretting some of her being naughty and too free. I said jokingly “My past was too clean and I regret it ahahaha….”
Dear, Friend. Life is too short to regret. What can we do but embracing what we have with love and awareness?
I’m grateful.
End of holiday:
I must go home. I don’t know
Why it feels so good.

I’m flying back to Singapore this evening. I didn’t know why I shed tears just to imagine opening the door of my home. Maybe because there will be many chores after left for so long 🤪 Plus work, work, work. Still I’m happy!

My dear friend Lucy accompanied me to stroll along the Thames river bank. We started by greeting Eros in the Piccadilly then having big lunch at Srilankan restaurant, walking down the river bank while enjoying the warmth of sun and the beauty of galleries plus the outside of Globe Theatre where she works. We ended at the Borough Market where we clenched our thirst with fruit juices, tasted some cheese, bought some tea and truffle.
Friendship never fails me. 💝
Thanks for the warm friendship. See you next time with better stories. Lotta of love and blessings for both of us…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The burning incense
Brings smoke of fragrance upward
To the unroofed Soul.
Chisholme Institute Scotland – September 16, 2019 / 20:42

Last week was one detail of life that might change the whole journey of mine. It has woken up a corner in the Soul that probably has been asleep or half asleep for so long. The material, the discussion, the social interaction, the spiritual connection, the away from home — all those are best combined to drive an enlightenment. What a word! Yes, one big leap a man should acknowledge.
I noted a lot of things happening inside of me. Let me keep them in my heart as part of the Hidden Treasure that is ready to explode into a realm of creation. In my very life. Be!
Among lessons harvested from the course is sincerity.
When it happened, it happened. Why not letting go?
When I know it will happen, it will happen. Why not accepting it?
When it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t. Why not moving on?
The why-nots that can only be materialised with sincerity—
Not all that I want is fulfilled.
Not all that I need is provided – yet all that is provided is what I need.
What I have is what I accept with heart and soul.
What is here now is what I embrace. What is not doesn’t bother me.
Senses become more sensitive, yet the stimuli become more subtle. That’s my next milestone to gain accuracy in intricacy.
I can’t say more.
I’m grateful.
Of A Corner Chair
The beauty of solitude
Is truly revealed.
Scotland, September 15, 2019 / 10:00am

This chair has been my companion for the past two days since my roommates Maddy and Gill went back to Manchester and Edinburgh after the course. I sat on it contemplating what I’ve studied, if the understanding is sitting there inside of my bezel of thought with good safeguarding not to escape.
I’m now sitting on a bench next to a man’s monument, contemplating what I’ve known about myself. Have I known myself as myself? Have I known Him? Have I known?
I’m grateful.
Do you need two taps?
Why not one that can adjust
The temperature?
Scotland – September 14, 2019 / 08:45
—-
I always find two taps in Great Britain’s toilet or shower – hot and cold. Use them as per your need. It works quite well for British I guess…. But not for me.
When I use the hot tap, it will be too hot after some time. When I use the cold tap, it will freeze my body alive for showering in early day or evening time.
I don’t know why they need two taps, while one tap that can adjust the temperature of water has worked wonder in other countries. Again why still keep two taps?

My 4th day of course
Layer by layer we are facilitated to continue our journey to know the image of the true vision of His.
Excitement, amazement, discovery and self honesty are mostly what color our days of study, work and meditation.
And one more thing: this is the in-house course whose food is super good in each of every meal time.
The secret message:
I’ll love you until I can’t.
A trick in a note —
Scotland – September 9, 2019 / 8:32am
—-
One of “mistakes” made in life might be disclosing your genuine feeling to someone (who doesn’t even care) then you being haunted by the stupid feeling for making that “mistake”. If it wasn’t said at all, you would have been as normal as ever before, as a secret admirer until slowly figure out a way out.
Once upon a time among that stupid feeling High God is sending a note through the silence: just love until you can’t love anymore. Love isn’t about reciprocal actions or exchanging common feeling between two physical bodies, it is about an acknowledgment of the existence of the Lover and the Beloved interacting in higher levels — so, it shouldn’t be problematic to be broken hearted as it is only your emotion (pride) which is hurt, the Soul (sincerity) is never broken. As the Soul is never broken, and so the Love is intact.
Dear Life, some notes are just made tricky and teasing.
But alas! That’s what human being shall meet every now and then.
Life can’t be more beautiful than it is now. Thank you for letting me realize that there is Love within.
