One marathon for me is enough

Life is interpreted in many perceptive school of thoughts, though the idea of life simmer to a similar conclusion, that life is a gift of wisdom, sensation and experiences. The rule of causation or karma is inherent in our design, and the rule of generousity does improve the circumstances of our life. There are many options in life, from which school of discipline to go to, to which religion to choose, to which career track to enter, to which mate you choose, and to what type of investment on family to garner for. Happiness is a choice and a blessing. Life, through the years, may unfold numerous experiential type, and while experience is a gift for us to treasure, I feel that one lifetime experiences is enough for me, and the joy in me is sealed for only this life once. I have a fair share of experiences, some are jovial and beautiful experiences, while some are those I just have to discern. I do respect the sanctification of life, though after what I have gone through, while this blessing is indeed essential, and while love is apparent in edifying manner, and the compassion from my pillar of strength, that emanates from Kuan Yin, Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, is gracious, I feel, after the unfolding of my life events, and the joy I placed in life as a proper proponent of love, I felt that one marathon, well-run by the good and kindness of man, will coincide in a memory that is well-cherished, as the person fade away in reality. An integral idea is to live well and with a prolonged joy, and the rest will be sweet. To this marathan, at least for me, the important is that the memory, and the people who are true, will find that my life spent with them is a treasureable moment. To God the magnanimous, I do surrender my life, in hope that this one life is a treasure to behold and to give up for. I do encourage those who love life experience to go for life again, as Carl Lewis, the famous athlete once mention, though for me, I have seen through life to be contented with this one life as a contemporary man, who will sleep in kind faithfully.

A nice tuition consultation with a primary school girl

Friday is a beautiful day on multiple aspects, and while school is value enhancing to my mind, the day by merit is an eventful and fruitful occasion. While a tense school session led to a situation where I chose to rest in the library instead of study, I understand that this half an hour of rest is well adjusted to my health condition to sustain my life responsibility for this time. While I only expect a day with a regular afternoon healthy exercise, and a night time of rest study at leisure, the day by God's creative wonder, prove to be far more exciting.
After a casual exercise regime, a resting Brian came to my mother's workplace for a casual teatime, and to my surprise, my mother is there with Aunty Indu and Professor Arun Kumar, an interesting convention of people who are related to me in some manner. Well, Aunty Indu is a supportive and well-mannered vegetarian, while Professor Arun Kumar is a erudite and wise Indian professor. We discussed about the hospital queue chain, a simple yet careful planned routine that is based on compassion and efficiency, and while we do not have sufficient authority to propose a revamption of one important improvement aspect, some clever and supportive ideas on the queue system mainly from the Professor with a few humanistic touch of ideas from me generate a good foreclosure to this task at hand. My mother conclude the network analysis with accomplishment on better grounds, that an improved concept can be implemented to suit the queue system with a more customer-friendly orientation, and an understanding that the new request can be approved by the higher authority. I am happy for the meeting design, in the manner that I learned how network analysis is used in the office, and I hope this can improve my classroom understanding. From the meeting, I learned about an opportunity to help Aunty Indu's bright daughter for her primary school final examination. I am happy to receive this chance to do charity. Meanwhile, I also accustomized myself to a better perception of a professor's standing, for they are welcomed and well-consulted by educated and wisdom inclined people.
The night proved to be a well-dressed spectacle. The feel of the HDB heartland is like a cotton fabric that interwoven people to suit the passion of life that Singapore adheres to, and I am glad for the resplendent nature that a good attitude and a contented heart has on the perception that is beautiful nurtured. In this sense, I felt joy for some of friends, some of them special, that they truly enjoy the better riches of life through a fostering community spirit. I taught the young girl some concepts on her education, by placing good and careful nuances to improve her understanding of wisdom, love and the education system, and through her earnest and careful personality, I feel resoundingly that she can score well and deserving for her good natured character. She does have a familar mould to a Chinese girl whom I love in Hwa Chong, a casual friend whom I am not in touch for a long time. Life moves on, with awakening activities and casual enjoyment, and I believe true friends who are fated to meet will meet again, only whether soon or in the long term, and through time will a revelation rejoice. The key is to resonate with each other compatibly and complementary. I took the car ride home, amidst a situation where I accede to their favour upon the understanding that Aunty Indu can accompany her daughter well, while I hitch a comfortable ride in her husband's car. Charity is joy in the process.

Business Development and Partner's Ethics

My small e-commerce entreprise initially has a fragrant start, that feels the breeze of dawn, and God did gave me a promising vision. I understand my life, as a child who is born with a good and innocent heart, that has a guiding conscience that has been a beacon of light through adverse times. Some moments has lit up a mild morning glory, while some has been lessons learnt for improvement. Now, as a rekindling hope of light, a Brian who have faced many sad setbacks in his life, respectfully hope for a kind revival of success in his life, for Brian is already an adult, and soon have to depend on himself for survival. This entreprise is an enlightened vision that has a altruistic aim to promote the ray of sunshine that literature hopes to bless upon mankind.
I initially found a partner with some entrepreneurship understanding, after a trying time of parter lobbying. He have some fine ideas about my business plan, and some concerted assistance to improve upon this valuable project. We did some basic exchange of ethical viewpoint, that ia aided through a supporting understanding of each other's background, and we decided to do some profiteering work for a good cause.
As time passes, my partner pulled out of my project due to some of his reservation, though we did established a rapport, and that is an assuring trust. We did help each other in understanding the business field and how to conduct partner relationship ethically, through beginner's heuristics. While I admit we are like little buds in this field, we did established a few keynotes. Firstly, every partner's intention, decision and action has to be communicated to the other partner. One of the ethics is to keep committed to each other, in supportive and authentic unity, and to benefit each other as value creators in this community. The venture includes doing the framework and conceptualising first, and to do the least committal actions sequential wise for a steady and leisurely progression in grace, that is understandably and prudentially correct for a student with many common responsiblities, to family and studies.
Well, while we established this bonding, the dissolution of this partnership actually left both of us on good grounds, for he benefited from my ethical display and I learnt something worthwhile about being in a partnership. that treading the course reveals a learning grace that inspirational entrepreneurs like Bill Gate advocate. I am young, humble and I am willing to learn. At present, the interesting situation is that I am alone on this venture, with my mother's support as a base, and the ethical forward directive is to continue on this project with care instilled in quality management, while sourcing for a dynamic partner who can humanistically protect and advance this business "flower" as a flow of life for literature. Patience and quality may be the brew for success for me.

Rationality with magnanimousness

Men are harnessed for their talent in rationality, and for this, many life aspects do require a good sense of rationality for a efficient, kind, comfortable and fair retribution of resources to benefit a family and a community. From young, a good mastery of emotions, a faithful support to the elders, and a charitable heart to the community heartlander is a wise investment in love, attribution and health. A gracious heart, is generous to his kind, and magnanimous to his comtemporaries, and this is a recipe for life quality engineering. A fair and just person, in his honesty and earnestly, will slowly gain the favour of his family, sweetheart, and friends. In happy times, the man in his personal niche can find a melodious tune, and in adversity, a careful listening ear will let the man shine in his virtues.
Rationality with magnanimousness is refineable a leading quality of well-calibered people. Being able to give, fairly and wise, to shower compassion with wisdom, this benefits the community maximally in the scope of the person, given his blessed capability. The magnanimous benefit of the person's network, to his family, friends and comtemporaries, just induce a flower of joy in every blessed heart. This effectively and affectively bonds people together in a community, where affluence and compassion prevails. In careers, people who are wise rationalist, and able to encompass the various kind of people in a good and valuable rational conformation is like a treasure keeper to encounter. In relationships, a wise rationalist with good values are favourable to be with, in regards of the types of roles, like parents to their child, couples, and friends to each other. Afterall, good rationality encourage an environment of virtues and excellence among people, and this contingenial sharing improves service quality.

Charity for education

I feel that education is a beacon of light that lit the mind of our youngsters, so they can continue the responsibility of handling the world's resource for life when the older generation has to retire. Today, I am given the chance to service a young Indian girl in her primary school studies so that she can do well for her examinations. To fulfil her mother's wishes, who happens to be a good friend of my mother, I gave the young girl a sixteen pointer guideline that is like a golden adage for success, and I do concretely hope that she can do marvelously well, and go to a good neighbourhood school.
With the young girl, I gave her a pep lecture on Maths, Science, English and we did well, through some explanation and some illumination. She is surprising bright, and she has a cheerful attitude that is humble and passionate about learning. I love her for her winning personality. Going through Maths, Science and English has been a good time for rehearsal for me, and the tricky idea is actually about the convening of hearts, and to listen to the elder, who is facilitated usually as the teacher of the school. We are learning from young that on Earth, the society rewards those who listen and is willing to serve. Therefore, shall we all be good people, subserviant to life, and well natured to promote and protect each other's emotional state of being. I hope kindness wins the good to live well and service others in accord.

Entreprenuership heaven: Giffen Goods

Success for entrepreneurship actually resonates with peaceful profit, as when you benefit the community, the community does gives you your rewards and support. Therefore, a good business will always want to bless more people with goods and joy, for this business is encountered as a beautiful flower whose fragrance uplifts and attracts bees to create community affluence as in the enriched garden. Be good and valuable is more than a key word here, this mantra is a life philosophy.
Well, in the sense of economics, a holy grail for monetary wealth is to understand a Giffen good, and to create a Giffen goods that is beneficial, comforting, useful and valuable for the public. As the idea of Giffen good is supply creates more needs, a good and careful promotion of Giffen goods in an ethical manner, allows for a tsunami of affluential wealth to tide in your favour, only if you understand the law of economics. Firstly, you have to be a valuable leaf, like a leaf that can photosynthesize, and this is a value generation valve. You also have to learn the leveraging and the balancing fairness of community, and value that comes to you must flow again in cycle to another user, for a healthy economic circulation. In a developing community, some technological goods needs to follow a tread of innovation to remain relevant, for good relevancy is refineable a favourable support in an improving world, and in this view, a carefully timed and ethically reasoned idea will blossom.
I hope all of my friends, who are millionaire wannabes, will find their Giffen goods, and success happy people may want to explore the technological field for the next revolutionary trend. Some hints from me are from the line of biofuel, hydrogen fuel cell, holodisc and nanotechnology related. The proponent of salvation presently is development on ecological conservation for Earth and I believed that this will be well-rewarded. Humble Brian has already found his Giffen good, that is good quality books that are virtue shining and reward worthy. I think being a quality and refined writer can give me enough success.

A convening of two souls

A few months have passed from the graceful and gentle passing of my paternal grandmother, Ema, and she is like a smiling flower that left in peace and contentment. For this, I have my thanks in God. These while, as several issues take place, I continued upon a journey of responsiblity and value appreciating activities, and times has been pretty eventful, though a thoughtful pause from moment to moment does recalls and rekindle the fervour and essence that my Ema has been to me. While she has left physically from this world, a part of her is in my heart, and a careful, satiated smile does radiate a calm and contented Brian that I understand is part of Ema. In this and for love, a part of Ema is always in me now.
Well, I have a heavenly fantasy, and that is the day I can be with my Ema and me, in the hotel morning buffet, eating our favourite banana muffin, apricot cream cake and my grandparents favourite blend of black forest cake. This is like a special occasion, of love and life. I do recall, in convincing grace, of the time when I am with my Ema, in a beautiful and casual cafe ambience, with our favourite black forest cake. That is very special, and I felt the beauty and magical moment much more now, than when we there, granted happy yet feeling a sense of normality. Just last year, I recall my Ema buying favoured bread by her goodness, for our family, and that shines a light of happiness over us, for she is a thoughtful, responsiblity and caring person. A person like her, will always be remindered for her gentle lovekindness, and the joy that exuberates from a soul like hers uplifts hearts and is a blessful torch for our family. She has seen four generations of our family, and this is her greatest blessing in this life, for such a loving and deserving family member lives a rose. All of us in her family heirloom, can vouch for her unwavering love for the family, and therefore, we wish her well and respect her always in our heart. To her I honour a poem that gives a euphemistic blessing that is fundamentally hers.

"Life is like a peony flower,
A flow that lit the niche of familarity,
A blessitude of mother nature's nutrition that springs aspiration,
For in grace, the sense of love's nourishment,
Does give blossom to the beautification that life,
in a rejuvenating circle, shines hope and peace,
To a blending and life inspiring motherly fragrance,
That holds the key of love in the flower that labours good fruits."

I love you, Ema.

A morning that benefits the contingent heart

Monday's blue is a mildly cheerful occasion to touch the heart, for a joyous service at school, is the blueprint for future success. Today happens to be a morning of inspiration, and a idea dawn on me, and I felt the need to express myself to my parents. I emailed a worthy electronic mail, with some contents on my life experience, and understood the wisdom that God has prepared for me as a learning digest, and for this, I seek to lean on my parent's understanding for our family situation, which I faithfully hope is a more stable and peaceable gearing. After the heartfelt message to my parents, I went to school, albeit slightly late.
School today gives me the image of some golden and valuable idea that highlights a good quality lecture, and the initial release is that I may miss some good knowledge, though I felt quite satisfied that I can still go to school. Well, a surprise opener awaits me at school when I realised that I do not have classes for one month, and this causes to be on a contingency enactment mode. I understand the flexible wisdom of accomplishing some task of value when I am already present in an avenue, and the Buddhism ideal of a flexible and fluid life philosophy, to flow like water that fits the container of a faithfully good life. I decided upon the choice of personal fitness grooming, and planned a contingent plan to meet my mother for a lunch meal, and this proves as a good time. I was in a melodious joy, feeling a feel of a free and good life, as an adult driving, and as an amateur trainee in the gym doing my aerobic exercise that exudes a common smile. Lunch with mother is a candid affair when a son can be reunited with mother on a casual working day, and this is a gentle joy of solidarity. Well, we talked for a while, and a conclusion come to buy mooncake for Uncle Asang's family, as they love mooncakes.
I came home, feeling a sense of personal victory and a happy will to live, understanding one of God's lesson for me, and was in an elative stability that a listening service yearns unto. I may not have much worldly success as of yet in this present, as I humbly accept, though at least life is worth to gracefully tread through with faith daily.

A kind visit to Hwa Chong

Mid Autumn Festival is a tradition celebration in Hwa Chong, and I felt the joy of being able to reconciliate with my friends at Hwa Chong campus. I met Derrick there, a person who was one of the academic elite in Chinese High, only to have a mishap of some sort when in Hwa Chong. For this I shared a sympathy for our similar plight, a compassion for positive effort, and a rekindle spirit for a well-tuned life.
Life has a kind method of telling us to fine tune our actions, and there are many indicators of love to advice our life trend to fluidly mould daily decision in adherence to suit a long term profit. Well, both Derrick and me learnt lessons, and one major factor that we critically need in Hwa Chong, yet lack the wisdom, is the idea of wise socialization. In time, like a pristine diamond, the value of life does appreciate with maturity. Though a clear understanding of a good lifestyle evinces a radiance sparkle of life that shines a happy personality.
Both Derrick and I talked about some fine trends in our life development, and we understood the value of family, the value of music, the value of socialization for a good and happy lifestyle. We also engaged in dialogues about nature, friendship, career, and how a jovial, appreciative and modest view of life does instill a sense of joy and appropiate success. For this, we also understood life has a long journey, and we have left the valley of depression, for a mild and sweet future endeavour. I think I rather keep my expectation modest, for an ease of heart's feeling and a comfortable maneuver to a prolonged joy. This opportuned meeting have sealed a good friendship in grace, and we look forward to future cooperation.

A fine and busy day at Singapore Institute of Management

Today's class is on Principle of Business Foundation, and this time is more of a ground-level type of construction and with an occasional brillance that lit my mind for a holistically well-derived idea about entrepreneurship and the supporting institution. This is humbling for me, though the teacher is adequately equiped to guide us if we open our love to understand this topic. After a careful thought through, I feel that a second upper class honours is more attaining and befitting of my class as I ever came from Hwa Chong, and I really hope to remend my reputation. Well, the attitute is still to study with a first class honours mindset and lifestyle, and at least the grades will carefully measure up well, and suffice for a stable and promising career service.
Socializing with my new found friends are a joy unto the social network of the school, and I managed a careful tread of altruistic care, some wise and witty remarks, as well as the usual garden courtesy with my friends. They are also nice and good in my opinion, and I realised that they also people who live with a purpose of productivity and fun. This is a relief on my part, and I guess a better lifestyle on my part led me to meet better friends than the initial part of this year. Well, this is a casual opinion, for time will soon reveal the beauty in everyone of us.
After school, I decided to go to visit the library, and through a careful search in Orchard Library for the book called the "Human Equation", the idea dawn upon me to take the earnest journey to Pasir Ris to get my book. At least I take some time to read a picture series of plant science in soft aesthetic appeal. While the car drive is a pleasant occasion, I understand the need to detour to reach Pasir Ris Library, and the result is a happy surrender. I received my academic read-up after a courteous consultation to the librarian, that reside with a compliment. The wonder of compliment is every joyous and generous kind words to others is like a positive affirmation of love to self.
When I reached home, I am greeted by my Christian friend, Bob, who probe me on my idea on Christian viewpoint. Well, I admit that we as human are not perfect, and with the earnest endeavour, can strive for a better and more wholesome daily interaction and deeds. God will let us live again as human as long as we have the heart of self-improvement and keep a good standard of living once we are good enough among our peers. I guess this is like a concluding chapter to my Christian life, as I am now a fledging Buddhist, who needs more seasoning through time, that will gradually rebuild a positive reputation that creates a nicer ambience for each passing day. This day is happily marked as a good time in my life.

Altruism and heuristics

Life is a blend of roses, aspen, banksia, celsia, sage and sunflower. Roses is about love: Love governs all reasoning and life's beauty. Aspen is about literature: The bestowment of a pen is a gracious communicating gift to the common people. Banksia is about money: Money is the currency of love, and the value of trade depends on this effort cumulated commodity of convenience. Celsia is a flower based on the constitution of love: This in essence is the importance of health and the evanescence of a stable and hearty vigour. Sage is about the sentient intellectuality of man: This symbolize the vast knowledge of the collective consciousness, and culmination of science, the flourishing arts and the development of logic and reason. Sunflower is about life and energy: how the sacrament of life is manifested from the holistic beauty of entropy, and energy recycled and reused to ensure life's continual success with a kind design.
Understanding life from the innate beauty and wisdom of flowers, there need to be a common framework and configuration of how we want to lead life, in a manner of love and success. Firstly, the understanding of life and success stems from altruism, and the diligent, conscientious love and will to be only involve in good works, bring forth a sense of direction towards a safe haven for the joyous living of life and the earnest endeavour for success. Everyday, a concertly effort to maintain grace is the contingenial upkeep of altruism, and this has to be convened in a community, where the best interest of each individual is clearly and fairly given concern, and each contribution is an effective benefit to the whole.
Now, understanding welfare on an intimately and efficient basis, I humbly notice that each individual wants to improve themselves, and be of a sustaining value to society to keep the order, and for this paradigm, an enveloping bliss is certainly a blessing that allows the creative voyager of life and success to comprehend new ways of engaging success and following heavenly visions. At this moment, to enhance the consciousness and to bloom a flower in the enlightened mind, a comprehensive entourage of the advantages of heuristics is a necessary implementation for the man in service, and the builder in a world where each life needs compassionate construction at a worthwhile cost. A kind reminder is that altruism and a winning lifestyle is the basis of heuristics, and entails the blossoming of a blissful, happy and abundent life that can be generously shared among family and friends.

A serenade on the beach with Uncle Teejin

East Coast Park is for the free and easy nature lover. While the beach is a sunrise paradise in the morning, with the refreshing ambience, the feel of life is in flourishment for the recreational soul. A sense of renewal rejuvenates the soul and love does have aspirational grace for the peace that is life. I feel at home and joy fills my heart in mild pleasant love. The siren of the natural peace resonates a feel of contentment and a joy of home. I am ingratiated by the joyous salutation to nature in the mildness of a familiar grace.
While a time of rest flowers my heart to the tune of life, a gentle reminder of nutrition causes me to come to my father, and we entered the vegetarian restaurant to encounter the grace of a steady, wise and good long term friend, Uncle Tee Jin. We had our meal, mainly Indian simple cuisines, and we converse in life, and enjoyed the companionship of each member. This blessed encounter gives a good support for my father, a happy and contented expression of a long term friend in his joyous era, and a kind reminder for me. The value of the degree is in the knowledge, wisdom, the earning of talent and the adoptation of proper attitute, and this culminate in a successful career invitation. Well, a private company will source for you, and call you if you are truly valuable, as long as you give an indication that you in view of a career, as long as you are valuable in love and grace. Grades does gives an indication of life potential, and true love does value your true potential, while your prospectors will understand the faithful quality that you intrinsically have, beyond the common grade. Here, we feel for value, while keeping in touch for justice and fairness. I am also enlightened by the value of sports in life, and feel a sense of elation for a constructive life has to contribute to health, longevity and respect. My mother's message came clear to me here and the understanding is to only engage in valuable activities.
Peace was in me well and manifested throughout the time with my father's enlightened friend. The time was a reason of joy that has a heavenly note. The afternoon was a simmer of leisure and a call to a constructive repair duty. Our car is serviced by the technical expertise, while we waited graciously and calmly for the return of the car. I am glad to be with my father, and on this occasion, we felt a time for a humble rest. Life for an entrepreuneur does have a humble ring, for a holistic understanding of forming an organization involves a humble heart, an endeavouring soul, a social magnet, a wise approportion of resource and a support for the greater good, and a careful profit to the light. The beauty of the equifinality theory is to bless each positive and contributing heart and soul well in the magnanimous fabric of life, and as a love magnet, brings a shining smile that blossoms the hearts of other heartlanders.

A fresh start at school

Today is my first day of school, and time is well paced for a breather of life, as turns of a better season flow in. I am happy yet slightly apprehensive about going to school, for I hope the graceful God will open a modest door of livelihood for me. I need to pass all my courses, and I understand a good study and social life is well for me to be in service as a budding entrepreuneur for Singapore.
Life is a humble game of love, compassion, sometimes having to bless, and sometimes having to receive. I obediently follow protocol, and under the educational system, have a lady saving my registration situation through my support and love, with a package that gives me the necessary value added commoner life. For this, I am already happy and pleasantly understanding. Mother, though Saturday is a school time for me, at least I promise to make time for you as much as possible.
The first lesson is Human Resource Management, and during the course, I learnt about value, and the important of configuration to common values and accepted norm. Yes, I am a conformist at heart and I obey the social norm as much as possible, though I hope for grace and compassion in family situation. Well, to the understanding, a situation that requires correction needs the compassive contingency amendment. Value is needed for a blessing of love and grace, and a steady mature heart gives the mildness of a gentle correction. Hereby, a sense of euphemism is wise and gentle for the loving heart and this addresses the emotion in a comforting manner.
On the journey home, I wanted to wait for my Daddy and Mother, though due to an unforeseen circumstances, had to take a cab home, as I wished to be by their side as soon as possible, albeit in a comfort and resting situation. The taxi driver is unamazing courteous, and to this grace, I felt undesiring of a blessing of this proportion. I feel as long as he is polite to me, I can rest and talk at leisurely in a ethic abiding manner. Dear God, thank you for setting my school life right again, and for this, my parent's burden is lessened. Today, I can rest well, and I earnest for more servitude times like today, with more kind love to my resting soul.

A kind journey

This Sunday happens to be a time of relaxation for my family. Amidst a sunny weather, my family went to Giant Superstore, a retailing supermarket that caters to the average family. Now, Giant Food Store is a special supermarket in Singapore, because the ambience of the place feels like a classy American convenience store, and the pace seems slow and easy. Food selection is very vast, therefore time investment in Giant is wise and efficient. This sojourn is special in the sense that my father and mother are with me, and they are together, with a casual note of family care.
Well, after a choicy selection of a myriad of food, I feel that a trip to the gym is in good order. My father is especially pleased with me for this suggestion, and I am happy to receive an approval from my parents, that they will support me for my exercise. The car ride is smooth, with my calm father driving, and when we arrived in Orchard, I decided to go to the gym, and my parents had a good time together, shopping for daily essentials, while I had a good time for exercise. I did worked my body muscle mass, and there was an exertion of energy, to come to a positive result that the body requires. I was kindly amazed by the courtesy of a trainer, who came to me by good will, and taught me to use the training equipment, and to this, I have my gratitude to God. I finished my exercise in due timing, and a fine call to my parents is a relief for a happy reunion. I had a simple green tea drink before I left Cheers, and waited at Cineleisure Carpark for my parents. In a good gesture, my father felt the joy of eating our favourite prata at Jalan Kayu, and a short excursion to the destination is a well-enjoyed moment, for my mother open up a new and convenient route that is efficient for time and fuel economy. I felt the gist of happiness, for a good outing, that is rarely in my cards, due to my father being mostly overseas. In the car, the song, "Top of the World" by the Carpenters, are played, and I am in mild pleasantry, for the soothing and familiar tune that lit my heart to a time of peace. I realised just today what the lyrics meant, that "That I am on top of the world, looking down on creation", and to the humble and wise man, this is like an overjoyed father loving the birth of his baby. Hereby on this nostalgic instance, I glanced a musing look at my father while he is driving. Life is full of events, and I guess the people are the most important to us, whatever the circumstances may be.

Embrace literature for the world

Today is festooned as a day of grace and hope in the age of enlightment, for the world earmarked this day as World Literature Day. UNESCO( United Nation Education, Scientific and Culteral Organization ) does contribute a beacon of light as the hope upon this day to celebrate the spread of literature, for the kind recollection of conscious development in the hearts of ourselves. Humanity as an intelligent being of good will, love, peace and rationality, shall prevail on this Earth again and again.
The Renaissance has opened the mind to the arts, a fine moulding of aesthetics, values and form; while the science did flourished during that era for the emergence of traditional subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology, which explain the phenomena of our physical world, with beautiful and well-meant truths, which graces the mentality of precision engineering, compassionate application and safety procedures.
The search for man's growth in the cultivated civilization did lead to the age of enlightenment, in the 17th and 18th century, and religion did flourish too, while the science cruise steadily alongside the arts that enacts the supporting souls in graceful serenade. God's grace and hope finally shine upon man in truth and love as a sunshine that smiles upon the Earth.
Literature did promote the healing peace that light up the mind as a joyous mentor, and man's accolade in the various field is cemented in the virtue of love, compassion and hope, and indeed, reading and writing has become a common privilege. The love of the bright has prevailed, and the community does embraces the communicative media of the wise. The commoner has become a peaceful light bearer of the collective wisdom of the elders, for education has become a widespead blessing that beautify the souls of the Earth. In the message of UNESCO for this day, the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, says: “Literacy strengthens the capabilities of people to take advantage of healthcare and educational opportunities." Indeed, the world is embraced in God's great gift, the blessitude of language, and the well-lit mind of an educative community that compassionately cares for the hearts and minds of every citizen, did shine a torch of radiance of love to reach out to keep the prolonged effect of lives, in every preciousness and every preserverence that blends to the music of love magnificent.

Maximise life in our limitation

The life expectancy of our country is about eighty years, and most of us wishing for longevity may live until ninety years. Every day is like a new day for blissful experiences and opportunity for gains in some area, and once past, is considered a closed page in history. Now, I feel a morning glory did indeed bloom in the sunrise, therefore an astute person will wisely live a life in a paradigm of an evening primrose amidst a grand sunset for a happy, well lived life.
Therefore, I do beseech you, my friends, to maximize life in our limitations. While life span, financial resources, social connections, success barometers are some of our limiting factor, a relieving understanding is that there is love. Every day should be a positively lived day, gaining some plus benefits to the happy beneficiaries, and ends in a gratitude prayer at night with a smiling heart. A life, lived to our potential's best, is like a world record marathon runner at a steady cruising speed, cheered on by an inner will of love and hope, and winning hearts and accolades along the journey by family and friends who understands the runner perseveres. The runner by nature understands his pace is a flight of success and joy, and the race ends after a long and worthwhile journey called life. The finishing touches encapsulates golden moments of life's gracious blessing, and a person's life story is celebrated in life's precious sacrament.

The need of rewards

Life, as a gentle reminder to the people, is like a master teacher of lessons. There are so many ways of living, various school of thoughts, as well as a variety of themes that embraces the earnestly living. As a fair arbitor of the intelligent design that life promises, rewards are essential as a promoter of the life, to keep good people wishing to continue living, and to appease a good perception of hope, grace and justice. Love is fundamental to the design of life, and to the hope and faith that life entails to the inherence. The man who understands love is rich, and is awarded grace, as the altruistic nature promotes a sense of progress and kind development. The virtuous and benevolent man's deeds are his rewards, his future is his crown, and his life, shining as a reward to many. Love does speaks an interesting tale, and the story is sweet and resounding.
In life, a protective peace requires the use of rewards as an educative tool, and as a cherishing art for the joy of life to sustain throughout eternity. I feel that life is a sacrament of grace, and this must be loved. For a healthy endeavour to flow on, rewards is truly an essential for service needs a sense of joy and adornment to be encouraged. Live on well, live on strong, as long as there is still the sun and the rainbow.

A meaningful time with a heartlander

On Sunday, I was thinking of doing an essay on "A sound mind in a sound body", and for this, I felt the sense of joy, when I found my writing did improved, and my versatile nature as a steady writer enhanced and carefully euphemised. While I was writing, my mother invited me to visit Uncle Sars, a man of love and wisdom, and I am happy to have his acquaintance.
We arrived at the serene lake at Pasir Ris early, and there we felt the joy that Buddha is for the soul. Buddha does gave us a good ambience of Singapore, a feel I think is nostalgic, and tells a sweet tale of the past. I feel happy being a simple commoner, in one of the more natural and pictureque site of Singapore, a feel of peace and beauty carefully shine upon my humble soul. At this moment, I met a symbol of a turtle, and I understand to the Buddhist, the turtle is wise, always at home, peaceful and have a prolonged life. I feel happy for the turtle, and indeed many Buddhist tale can be spurned from the essence of a purposeful turtle.
We met Uncle Sars, and on this ground, decided upon a spirtual and social talk on socialogy, and I am happy for some of the new insights I learnt. Globalisation is an ongoing trend of trust and goodwill to bridge the gulf between various people. Sometimes, we learnt that being deviant in good heartedness, may be a good thing, when the intention is still good, and this is part and parcel of development of an independent soul. Well, the conformist norm, of a grace that I am a parcel of, is about compliance and similar traits, and I am more comfortable on this front. I also learnt of social space, and I clearly value this lesson on learning to keep spaces, both on a physical front, a mental front, and the inner space, which meant as the privacy of another individual partner's heart. On a physical front, we should keep a distance from other human body and even with your opposite gender love partner, there are many things you do not attempt, except for the occasional handhold, for even the first kiss should be after marriage. On a mental front, we may vibrate with people's mind and essence, though we are only allowed to talk on non private matters, and keep people's personal life issues personal and confidential. From here, my reference to inner and outer space is deemed understandable as both the physical, the mind and the heart needs a room for self comfort and self growth. From this idea I feel on certain topic, we may need external help to assist us and replace us in protection, while certain sensitive topic, the issue is best passed to the self. Age group and a person's maturity and willingness to improve are also key fundamentals on whether certain issue are classified as confidential or suitable for external intervention or discussion. My suggestion is to be as open as possible on non sensitive issues. For this, I feel we can express ourselves joyously and cheerfully in openness, though a wise man let the other person reveals himself without asking upon private issues, and the socialist can take heart that we are all interconnected by a higher consciousness through the teaching of Carl Jung and in this realm of consciousness, only love and uniformity exist. This is a fundamental basis for globalisation and togetherness in the brotherhood of man.
After a simple talk that was overall positive, though not maximized, I had a walk with my mother and Sars, and we felt nature takes a peaceful and serene breeze through our soul. I was pacified by the soft and calming feminine feel that my mother cover over me, and the walk is pleasant and compassionate. With a good time, I feel that home is the next destination and the night went well after I completed my unfinished essay of excellent composure. The feel was sweet, and I am happy for myself as a commoner who can take life easy.

A common joy to be with mother

Saturday is a simple day, and I feel the love of God that permeates and reinvigourate this day a commoner's bliss and joy and this satisfies me wholefully. Gladness is the word I happily describe today, as a man in need of a normal and restful time, doing simple shopping with my mother.
The day starts with a happy note that a stamp exhibition is faithfully organised to soothe the commoner's soul, and to the tune of hobby grace, good people do feel attracted. A kind note about myself is that when young, I used to be a naturalist, and to this frequency, I love scenaries and my pet goldfish. I view joy in picture books, and I am encouraged by my humble mentor to collect stamps and stickers. I love stamps, and indeed, I do have beautiful series of good stamps that paints a wonder of love for the appreciation valve. I decided to attend the happy stamp festival.
Before leaving for the shopping mall, I noticed that my pant is torn, and I feel the need to buy a new pair of beige jeans. My mother and me decided to visit Parkway Parade, and we had a joyous time buying a white jeans, and enjoy a sumptious meal at Delifrance. I thank God for the peace of the dining, and the dine resounds well as a smooth chorus in both my mother and my heart. I ate a vegetarian mix of lagsana and potato, and this is a heaven sent treat to my being. The event is truly heart soothening for this is the first time in a long time that my mother gave me a good lunch meal. I felt the love that is profound from the very person I loved dearly, my mother. I understand that God freely provide this, for he understands that this kind of love is the simple love that I need, just to keep me healthy and in check. Thank you, my love in you, O Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, is fulfilled.
After the meal, my mother alighted me at the national library, to galvanise the event and to this grace, I am nourished by my past and joyous life. The mildly hedonistic Brian has learnt to wisened up the idea of joy, and feel the righteousness that true compassion bless to the soul. The stamp exhibition became a photo and mind nourishing event, and I am mainly interested in earthly plants and animals, the sort of naturalism that sparks wonder to the commoner's heart. Singapore is indeed a nation that knead the connective spirit into the heartlander's well being. Stamps is a simple hobby that the collection and appreciation is the reward itself. Today, before I went for the exhibition, I decided to collect stamps again.
Finding mother at Orchard Road is a happy event too. I took the train, as a commoner, and feel the societal ground at work. I noticed some people, average flamboyent chinese boys who just love roaming the streets, and in this, I notice my friend's life, Yufei, a Chung Cheng and Hwa Chong student from China, who studiously earn his place as a univesity master's student in America. He escaped the mundane life of a street roamer, by being a scholar, and I knew Yufei already had his heaven in this life, and personally, I am glad for Yufei, who lives in Bei Jing. I met my mother at Mark and Spencer, Centre Point, and we decided to go to a pharmacy at Marine Parade, for a good time.
At Marine Parade, I feel the soul of the place, like an old time friend, who promises peace and a simple joyous fare, with my favourite location, Popular Bookstore, being my main attraction. I understand some of my life fundamental, and my love for bookstore did pave an avenue of academic interest that made me the earnest worker I am today. We went to the pharmacy, bought rosehips medication and did some simple grocery shopping, and this is a happy occasion I call a friendly family outing.
God, you know, because of today, I wish to live again, and the barometer of success and fame can be put aside when you already have ample abundence in a good family.
