Bye 2008 !!

It is a busy busy year, no matter in terms of work, friends, family and fotang. However i have just one small brain and 2 short hands. Sometimes it is very hard to find a balance between all. When i busy in work, 3F will not let me alone sometimes. I have only 24 hours per day. Therefore there have so much things that I should do better but I didnt.... Ahha.... !!!

I should spend more times with family and friends... They didnt go to my office, they didnt go to fotang. So we have very limited quality times together. Non of our family member is a vegetarian. So we have to eat outside most of the time during weekdays. Even though it is unhealty and oily, but we left with no choice. Moreover I should do my household chores with more hardworking so that it wouldn't be endless spring clean till now... hahaha !!! I really felt grateful and blessed that i have them all around me so that I can go through all the tests (not sure can pass or not) and survive happily... ^.^

In fotang, I'm just a normal tao member with little faith in Maitreya. For the 2nd half of the class, when i became their friends, they lost control and became enemy. They need more discipline, faith and truth but I didnt shower them enough. We should start the class by bowing to Heavenly mother first. They have became somebody that we are very hard to understand and not a Maitreya Youth or Children that i know. I was hoping that Angels would be around me and help me but it seems like no luck yet... ^.^

We have to work in order to pay off our debts, bills, loan and support our family. With the tough year to secure a job ahead, nobody can guarantee anything. With the very limited time at home, we have to use our own hands to do all household matters as no luxury to hire others. Therefore, it is time for me to let go some and I need times to do things that I should do. Maybe it is part of my destiny. Or maybe it is just a dream will never come true. Anyway, bye good and bad 2008... I just have time to prepare for 2009. Cheers !!

Small Experiment

I just done some spring clean esp the cooking area... My territory... ^.^ !! U must be wondering what is that in the pic? Just a small experiment when i boiled soup and thought by using the heat and steam my vegetable... It is Oil-free, easy and clean in order not to dirty the place till CNY... Hahaha !! Probably Save time and energy as i just leave it as it is till everything is cooked.

Actually it is not new coz a good rice cooker come with such an extra tray on top. I just dont have such luxury at home. So i used the steamer tray given by Angel many years ago, it save my time so much to come out with very healthy veg (mix with soy sauce when serving) , 1 soup with rice for dinner... Hurrahh !!!



When i took the veg out, the steamer tray is still warm with steam. So i put my table cloth on top just to kill germ... hehe !! Nothing is waste today.... ^.^ !!

Uncle and Auntie

We are uncle and auntie now...

A season full of healthy and good food

Organic Sushi !! The sauce is fantastic with dim washabi taste. But i still prefer the Spore organic sushi with lots of veggie.

The mixture of western and eastern salad style - - ??

It is bcoz they add seaweed to the salad !!

Its Organic brown rice set, curry noodles and salad ^^

My favourite cream puff;

but if they can add durian, it will be perfect ~~

This is very special, it is sth like a swiss roll; but the roll is made of sth like soft bread and the ingredients are mayo with Vegetarian floss....!! The salty roll... ^^

My first Onigiri and it's Vegetarian !!

The precious moment

This "tan hua" open at night 11 pm and will wither the next day !!

So I am the "sua ku".... hope to capture such a beautiful moment at mid of the night ... ^.^

Our life is just like that too... very short and very fragile. Our body grow older very fast but not our wisdom... Hai... Therefore we shouldn't hold it too tight and must learn to let go sometimes.

15 Nov Performance

Bravo !!!

Below is just my conclusion of 19/10 dance after lots of merciful feedbacks. Probably what you saw is different, but what i felt is amazing. There have lots of Number 1 that I need to mention...^.^

(1) One of the kids not feeling well and when I get to know is about 2/3 days beforehand. They have to change their formation 1 day before the actual performance (less than 3 practise). Some of them even bear the extra responsibility to run to other designated place and do the different action. Surprisingly some coped well with the CHANGE and learnt a lesson called "Flexibility". We might not even encounter such flexi in other group.
(2) This is their 1st time to dance with RHYTHM ie the actions are based on 8 beats but not the words of the song. They are so young that some might not know what is rhythm. Surprisingly some can count and co-ordinate very well.
(3) Their 1st time to do other STUNTS. Suprisingly they enjoyed it and won the round of applaud from the audiences.
(4) It is the 1st SHOW for some of them. They faced it with courage and no fear.
(5) 2 of them are not even a P1 student yet.
(6) It is less than 1 week of their exam and some can cope with their heavy homework. They didnt use either one (homework or dance) as an excuse that they cant do well.

Overall, I'm happy and felt proud for them. If we put ourselves in their shoes, can we do it while we are 6 yrs old? Can we have such flexi while we are 30 years old? However they are still young. There have lot of things that they still need to learn eg:
(1) Content: feel happy internally and smile accordingly;
(2) Co-operation: mix well with others and stay in a group;
(3) Co-ordination: co-ord well and dance neatly together;
(4) Considerate: be a selfless and understanding kid;
(5) Care: love and concern other pal rather than themselves.

5C... haha. Anyway, I have learnt my lesson after this performance and hope they can learn theirs. Last but not least, thanks for many kind souls who make this happen. Thanks for your help esp when they run around without control. Thanks for making them so neat and pretty under the spot light. Maitreya bless you all !! Xie Xie Chi Bei !!
