general practitioner Wee Teong Boo

in the very beginning, we have great doubts on the case and as it progressed, we could see that it did not tally.
there are so many things unexplained which we could not find the right answer.

coca cola

a coke is just a coke.
right?
for this particular, it saves our dearest mother's life.
we have baffled by our mother's sudden slimming to bare bones which was not normal.

we gave her a bottle of zero-coke as she asked for it.
little did we realise that it caused immense pain for her chest.

she was seen by 4 doctors and the diagnosis was gastric ulcer.

now we knew what affected her loss of weight since 2017.

integration

MM Lee speaks again on Malay-Muslim integration:“Muslims socially do not cause any trouble, but they are distinct and separate.”

When asked how they could integrate, he [MM Lee] said, “Be less strict on Islamic observances, and say: ‘Okay, I’ll eat with you.’”

“I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came, and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration — friends, inter-marriages and so on – than Muslims.”

Interview with Charlie Rose,  28 March 2011:

At 31:57 mins of the video:

MM Lee: "I said in that book (“Hard Truths”) that I think that the Malays, that Muslims should be relaxed and eat together with the others."

Charlie Rose: “And it created a firestorm and your son said, the Prime Minister, differed with you.”

MM Lee: “That’s right.”

Charlie Rose: “So, were you right or was your son right?”

MM Lee: *laughs*

MM Lee: “He has to be right because he is the Prime Minister.”

Charlie Rose: “But ... but?”

MM Lee: “But you ask the average person in the street whether what I've said is true."

Charlie Rose: “And they would say?”

MM Lee: “You ask them.”

move on

we have let go the past behind before we can move on and he is right.

lesson to be learn and relearn

the recent incident showed that we have been used by people for their own gains and we are not aware of it.
we told ourselves that we are stupid in believing them, as we assumed that we are thinking for them, but in actual they want it for themselves, without caring of the consequences.
people are selfish in nature and we have to accept the fact sadly speaking.
all well that we knew about it and will have to let it go and move on.

mothers are the best

If there is someone whom we can turn ourselves to, no matter how old we are or where we are, it is our mother who is there for us always.

the most thing in your life: your family.

the poem from a boy to his love

A little bit of you...
A little bit of me...

A little bit of the path that is left to complete...

Hoping both will be successful in making it to the end...

Let's run the race hand in hand....

A hug for you, a hug for me.
I wonder how would our first hug be. 

Short and awkward or long and assured.
Tight and happy or sad and tired. 

A hug for you, a hug for me. 
Wonder how our first hug would be. 

My embrace, your arms,
your waist, my arms.

Raw breath ushering down on our shoulders,
panicking shy souls hugging, confessing their love.

A body telling to another,

I missed you.

All the words I had, but not a hug.

Finally here. Eyes to eyes. Arms to arms. 


Breath to breath.


A hug for you, a hug for me.

First hug I wish never ends honey.

Adolf Eichmann, the bureaucratic mastermind of the Holocaust, regretted that he failed to exterminate all of Europe's Jews, saying "there was more we could have done", recordings have revealed.

Eichmann showed only disappointment that some survived, according to newly declassified files. Looking back on his role in organising the systematic slaughter of Jews, gipsies and other groups, he says: "We didn't do our work correctly."

During the war Eichmann had served as "transportation administrator" for the Final Solution, organising the mammoth task of sending Jews to various death camps.

Eichmann boasted he "was no ordinary recipient of orders" and that he "was part of the thinking process; an idealist".

it contradicts Eichmann's defence during his 1961 Jerusalem trial for crimes against humanity that he was following orders and was in effect only a small cog in the Nazi machine. Eichmann was found guilty and hanged in 1962

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE

Jazmyne Cidavia-DeRepentigny of Hull Georgia.  She died on the operating table during surgery in late 1979 

"I must say that this experience was quite unsettling to say the least.  I was floating over my body.  I could see and hear everything that was being said and done.  I left the room for a short while and then returned to where my body lay.  I knew why I died.  It was because I couldn't breathe.  There was a tube down my throat and the medical staff did not have an oxygen mask on my nose.  I had also been given too much anesthetic.

"In my out-of-body state, I'm using my mind to try and make my right arm and hand move - my arms are extended parallel to my physical body.  I want my right hand to move, any thing to move.  I was trying to pull the tube out of my mouth.  I looked down at my face and tears were streaming.  One of the nurses blotted the tears from my face but she didn't notice my breathing had stopped, nor did she see me next to her.  At this point, I'm trying really hard to make my physical arm move, but it's like my whole body is made of lead."

Cidavia-DeRepentigny's determination in her out-of-body state to make an arm move finally paid off; and, with great clamor and commotion, the tube was pulled out, an oxygen mask attached, and her breathing restored.  She had a similar near-death episode when she was hospitalized at thirteen, and again in 1991 when she faced death a third time.  The more recent occurrence resulted from a nearly fatal bout with pneumonia, only this time she witnessed her own soul as a spirit residing outside of her body:

"I could see my spirit standing before me.  My spirit was so beautifully perfect, dressed in a white gown that was loose, free-flowing, and below the knee.  From my spirit there emanated a bright, soft-white halo.  My spirit was standing six to eight feet from my body.  It was so strange, for I could see my spirit and my spirit could see my pathetic body.  I had not an ounce of color and I looked all withered and cold and lifeless.  My spirit felt warm and so, so celestial.  As my spirit slowly moved away, my spirit told my body goodbye, for my spirit saw the light and wanted to go into it.  The light was like a circular opening that was warm and bright."

"My first visual memory was looking forward and seeing a brilliant bright light, almost like looking directly at the sun.  The strange thing was that I could see my feet in front of me, as if I were floating upward in a vertical position.  I do not remember passing through a tunnel or anything like that, just floating in the beautiful light.  A tremendous amount of warmth and love came from the light.

"There was a standing figure in the light, shaped like a normal human being, but with no distinct facial features.  It had a masculine presence.  The light I have described seemed like it emanated from that figure.  Light rays shone all around him.  I felt very protected and safe and loved.

"The figure in the light told me through what I now know to be mental telepathy that I must go back, that it was not time for me to come here.  I wanted to stay because I felt so full of joy and so peaceful.  The voice repeated that it wasn't my time; I had a purpose to fulfill and I could come back after I completed it.

the truth

i swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth.
is it true?

for several thousand years before, human beings are tempted by sex, divided races and religions which are the roots of the evils:pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.
indeed, we are not exempted and also fell for them.
now we knew.
people used these evils for their own advantage.
alas.
it is the same cycle being repeated for a long, long time indeed.

Blue snow

Blue snow could be seen falling in several districts in the Russian city of St. Petersburg late Tuesday.

Many residents reported the unusual weather phenomenon on social media with most expressing their fears about the snow, which could be contaminated with toxins.

Russia's environmental monitoring agency officials took samples to examine the blue snow following numerous complaints.

The officials said most of the snow had a light blue color, but some of the snow was also violet.

Locals believe the snow's unusual color could be a result of demolition of the city's chemical-pharmaceutical research institute located near the districts the snow was sighted in.

unexpected

first thing that came into our mind: we do not expect it to come to past.

life is full of mysteries and God acted in the strangely way as well.

and also we spoke too soon:

that we will be on long "vacation".

that was after our colleagues who had one stroke and the other heart bypass.

it was in our mind: 

the unexpected.
