A strand of thought: Life

In this world, we never have all the information. In reality, we don't have enough, or we have too much. You will have to keep putting one foot in front of the other even when you have too much or too little, and you can't decide.

But it'll be fine. You'll be fine.

God gave us something very good.

What's that? You may ask.

It's your intuition.
Things that catch your eye. Things that make you curious about how they feel. Things that send a shiver down your spine.

You just have to search for those things.

My Mother & Her "English" Surprises

My mother is a woman of surprises. She used to strike me as being cool-headed, popular with the elderly and a good housewife. I never thought of her as being outspoken. But there have been occasions when I was surprised by her bouts of guffawing at a TV scene, or her hidden talent at imitating my father’s agitated voice and temper. That made me laugh, every time. It is also interesting to note that her English skills are something that she needs help with. Reading the newspaper is her version of getting the daily updates on the world outside. As our household has only English newspapers, and she isn’t particularly inclined to acquiring Mandarin publications daily, she acquiesces to reading it whenever she has free time. Oftentimes, she needs help understanding certain vocabulary, like pillion rider . Suffice to say, her English skills could use some polishing. I had a 180 switch of my opinion about that, one day. If it wasn’t for her, going Dutch would still be an alien phrase...

Life is a splash of colours But there is a hue which belongs to you Life is a motion of moments of which only you see and keep Life is a collection of tastes of which your tongue savours and remembers Life is the sky, mountain and sea where you soar, plunder and cross Life may be beauty and flaw which differs only in the eyes of the beholder Life may be small or big depending on how you want it to be Life quite often changes shape in the hands of its owner So do not merely live, but instead be the life you want to be                                                                                                       [saol]

A strand of thought: Education

Based on the knowledge that I currently own, I believe that education is not teaching "A is right and B is wrong", but rather teaching the young ones to think "Why is A right and B wrong?", "Why can't A be wrong and B be right?", or "Why can't both A and B be wrong/right?" -Ray's strand of thought
