Kindness Pays

Beautiful day, 9th April 2008 about 3.30pm. Never seen beautiful clouds of animals for centuries.... used to see clouds of animals when I was young, those were the days I observed the sky.



In the first picture, there was a helicopter, but very small. This is a Closed-up view of the helicopter. There were two helicopter. When I was young, my mother told me, if you see helicopter means very lucky or is 'miracle'. Come to think of it, helicopter is such a rare sight these days, but I seem to go back to my childhood days.

Yesterday was a mixture of 'down and up' day, very tiring. I don't know how to describe my feeling, mixed feeling perhaps, too many things, too many things all coming at one time and I just don't know what to do.

My mother, the greatest love of all
In the afternoon, I went library with Richard. At the library, my mother called. She wanted to give me vegetables and some fish. Blackie is always so kind. Even though he is not working for us anymore, he always give us lots of vegetables so that the family can share. I hate to do things last minute. But this is always the case for my family, and it is very frustrating. I am so sandwiched in between. I want to obey my parents, but on the other hand, my husband is not happy. Food price is rising and people give us free food. My sister's husband is always so good to her. He is very hardworking and he listens to what my sister. His husband always helps to bring vegetables home.

It's all God's Plan and I am happy that I went, For I had seen the beauty...
I was so frustrated, having to 'tear myself apart', something which my mother used to say too. This is what she had been through also. But in the end, I decided to 'satisfy' everybody. I went to my mother's house, took the vegetables and fish, then I tried to hurry back to keep my promise of going jogging with Richard.

No Pain, No Gain. I have More Plans To Achieve
Today, I am aching all over. My hands and my shoulders are aching, having to carry three big bags of food. However, all my effort is not wasted, I can see that I am doing the right thing so far. This morning, I can ear the birds singing more sweetly, the hot weather of Singapore is back. I am complaining of hot again. That is Singapore, my homeland, the place where I belong, the place where I had so much sweet memories, my happy family, my Primary School and Secondary School -- all the kind teachers, especially the Boon Lay Secondary School teachers. Boon Lay Secondary School is the school which my brother and I went.

Even The Birds Know: The Birds come to tell, really come to judge, really.
Once considered as pest, the wild pigeons are known as nuisance. But they are such beautiful birds, they have their own lives and you lead your own lives. Cycling, I had seen so many varieties of pigeons, the first time in my life. That is beautiful and I am filled with surprises and amazement. I even see the coo-coo bird, the peaceful dove among them. Peaceful dove was what I had kept as pet when I was young. The peaceful dove was what I had seen one day, the day where QiHua Primary School had its Sports Day. The peaceful dove was in the park, at Woodlands Park, that was a beautiful and breathtaking day, the day I had fresh air, my heart opened and my mind opened, absorbing all the beauty of the world.



We are the Lim Family, the true Teochew who never tries to harm people. My parents have 'soft-heart', they are very generous, and justice shall be paid to them. I was so surprised to see this Peace Lily blossomed, white flowers, beautiful, First Time I seen, SO BEAUTIFUL, I love it so much. Thank you God, Thank You Jesus. Thank you to the boss who gave my mother this beautiful plant.
