"If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer." - Alfred North Whitehead

A Love that comes too Late - A Tribute to my late Granny
Regretion always come only after loss... Often people begin to regret about what they have not done when that "someone" is still alive... Same goes for me... I expect my this entry to be full of tears... It about A Love that is too Late...
The Childhood times...
When I was little, I was brought up by my godma who is my nanny... thou' I came back home every weekend, am not as close to my granny.. Unlike my elder sis who is brought up by Granny and share a very close relationship with her... probably am influence by my mum who not in a good terms with granny, I always throw tantrums at Granny, argue with her.
I can still recall that Granny was always the one who bought lunch and dinner for me and sis when we were in the primary and secondary school, when mum works on the weekends.
Granny use to stay with us in this 3 room HDB flat whereby me and sis share the room with her, gradually, the family come out with the idea of getting her to take turns stay at each child's place for every 2 weeks, thus, my granny become like a ball been push around. I would like to clarify that my dad is not those unfilial son, just that my mum dominant over him. He has always been a easy-going guy who won't fight for anything. Just for the sake of fairness, the family thought its was only fair if she take turns to stay at every son's house for 2 weeks each (she got 4 sons by the way). Soon my granny got tired of it, she volunteer to go to the old folk home. At my age (13-14 years old), I don't even knows whats all this about and never even bother to think or analyze the situation. Things just went on...
Granny shifted to the old folk home, during her 1st year at the home, she still came back for New year, but just for the very 1st year, after that she refuse to come back. And after some accident at the home, she left us. I didn't went to the hospital to visit her and I would say I had handle her death pretty well. I didn't shed a tear when I receive the news. Only start tearing at the very last moment when she is cremated.
The wake up Call...
As times passed... I didn't really think much about it until one of our daily night chat (last time I use to share a room with sis), sis share with me how much she missed Granny. She told me alot of stories about granny, about how bonded are they, about the sufferings that my granny went thru'... She share the reason why Granny don't wanna come back home after the 1st New year she spent at home... Granny fell in the restroom and told sis that she felt this house is no longer her home when all the furnituring are changed (we refurnished the whole house after Granny shifted), she was upset, so sad that she don't even wanna come home. I recalled that my godma (who was then my granny recognised as her god-daughter, they share a very close friendship) ever told me that granny did shared with her that she felt very very sad when she 1st reach the old folks home.. all these start to trigger my emotions and made me realized that how much I had missed...
The moments that are lost...
I began to feel the pain that she was feeling at that very moment when she decided to go to the old folk home... A lot of things that haven't been done and can no longer be done... When my granny left us, I was only 15, at that schooling age, am not able to bring my granny out for a meal. Mobile phone with camera are not invented yet, not even the colour screen handphone. Digital camera is a rare item to own. I don't even have a decent photo taken with Granny. many said that I look alot like my granny, which now am proud and happy about it. I realized that I have never given her anything, not even a hug...
Same goes for my sis, everytime we watch a show or a movie, if there is a scene of the old lady been sent to the home, We will start tearing... For example, [Money not enough] by Jack Neo, which the old grandmother share exactly the same fortune as my granny, been push around and end up send to home, the difference is that my granny is mentally sound when she volunteer to shift to the home. The recent movie I watch [A simple Life] trigger my tears too. I won't say the movie is very good or really very touching kind, but I cried a bucket of tears in the cinema, main reason is it remind me of my late Granny. It have been more than 10 years, yet every year when I visit the urn, my eyes still went watery.
So much so much regret... If only I know about appreciation much earlier, I could have given her a hug...
Many people had left, but she is the only one who I could never stop missing and fill me with regretion...
A tribute to my Late Granny
Recently I saw a Post on Facebook by Rose Charities Singapore, they are paying a visit to Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home on 15th April, and they are looking for contribution of adult diapers, rashes cream, shower foams, necessities items.
Immediately I thought of my Granny and decided to make a contribution. As for the visit, I hesitate for a while as I afraid that my low EQ might make me burst on that day of visit, but with support from Love, I decided to go for it.
For people who want to contribute:
A short introduction about Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home:
Lee Ah Mooi Old age Home is a living, breathing testament to an amazing story of Madam Lee and her family's dedication to a cause and the place of rest and solace for those treading the final lap of their lives.
There are over 150 old folk currently staying at the home.
Many of these old folks, often senile, are abandoned by families at the hospitals or at door step. Many are from low income families who cannot pay much or staying for free due to working family unable to take care of them. All these old folks are living off Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home who depends heavily on charity.
Shouting out to all readers:
I hereby sincerely wish that whoever who read this, who share a good heart, who had a granny or grandpa, whether they are with you or had left, with love, do a contribution. No matter how much you contribute, even for just 1 packet of diapers, I thanks you whole-heartedly. Its not alot of money, as little as $10 can help the olds. $10 is just a cost of 1 meal. I myself contributed a carton of diapers which cost SGD$75, which is just the cost of a meal for 2 pax at a medium grade restaurant, its really not alot. Its not as much as the cost of a Branded bag nor a ipad 4G (if you can afford any of such, I believe this contribution is nothing to u). Without eating a meal won't kill, but without your help, these 150 old folks will suffer.
The world can only be warm if there Love are spread around...
The world had been contaminate with alot of jealousy, hatred, curelty, all negetive force, can we start to breed love and happiness...?

Gracious Singapore Back to the Basic - Gracious Commuters
Ever had foreigner friends visiting Singapore, the first comment when they landed in our island, they said "Singapore is a very clean and beautiful country". But to me, this beautiful country immediately turn ugly when you take the MRT trains service especially in the morning or evening peak hours.
What you usually expect to see?
Many commuters will crowd around each cabin door as if they are having a camp fire at the doorway. Once the door open, you will always see a handful of people try to rush into the train without even allowing the commuter inside the train to exit first. The worse nightmare is that you thought these people who rushed in will go into the center of the train, well... NO! they will rush and slow down once one of their foot enter the train and often a few will just stand at the side of the door and not moving inwards. This is crazy! First of all, the commuters who are exiting the train face difficulties in making their way out. Secondly, the people who slow down and stood at the doorway prevent more commuter to enter the train smoothly.
My personal experience: Because of people who don't move to the center yet slow down at the entrance of the cabin, I got hit by the door (as it close) while i tried to enter the train.
The whole scene just look like a Bull Fight where people inside the train dash out (afraid that they won't be able to alight) and people entering the train dashing in (afraid that they might miss the train).
The DRAMA inside the Train...
Most common one are the giving up of seats to the elderly, the pregnants, those with special needs... As my sis is expecting her first child, she feels the most for this. Often I seen her showing her frustration by updating her facebook status on the countless times whereby people ignore her existence.
Maybe Singapore lifestyle is alway been very busy, so many people will make use of this excuse to "act busy", pressing their mobile vigorously, sleeping - taking a quick nap, or even kissing and hugging away. That's not all, frequently you will see people leaning against the pole! that's the most frustrating one! HELLO!!! The poles are for commuters to hold on, to keep a balance and its not for leaning!!! When you thought everything would be better if its non-peak hours, you too see free shows.. Kids running inside the cabin and doing "pole dancing"!!! Needless to mention about the noise level when children screaming, adults chating (whether its on the mobile or to one another)...
If only everyone do a Part...
I always thought that asian chinese are the culprit to all these issues, however during my trip to Taipei last April, I got a shock! Their systematic queue and "escalator rules" make me drop my Jaws...
This is how systematic that Taiwanese are. They will queue up according to the markings on the floor no matter if it peak or non-peak hours. On the escalator, they will all keep to the Right (whereas in Singapore, we should be keeping to the Left) and allow those who are rushing for time to go by the Left.
Imagine if we too follows the simple rules and be systematic, it will not only reduce the chances of accidents and unhappiness but also been time-efficient! For those who need to rush for time, they can still do so by taking the 'express way' and for those who is enjoying their ride, they can also enjoy the 'sceneries' while not obstructing other's way.
We should also keep our volume low, educate the young ones - not to make too much noise so as not to become a nuisane to commuters and of course it will also prevent them from any possible injuries.
Nonetheless, moving to the center of the cabin and giving up seats to the people with special needs, which I believe its been taught in all local primary schools, is a MUST!
If everyone were to put all this into practise, there won't be conjestion in the MRT and of course no one will be afraid of moving into the center of the cabin as you will definitely be able to alight when everyone been considerate and giving ways.
Finally, Singapore will really be Gracious and Beautiful from the 'inside' to the 'outside'...

《月亮熊》--黑熊取胆
The video make me tears... Watch to understand...

I never believe how Bile can aids in human health. People still fell sick and die.
Sickness and health is about upkeeping of individuals, healthy diet, regular exercise! Its not about all there myths about animal product!
If really human health is that important, then goverment should ban Tobacco and alcohol as they are the source of bad health!
Why should animal suffer because of human's deeds! Its totally nonsense!
To my surprise, Korea, such a develop country is doing all this uncivillized acts as well!
Please sign the petition and rescue the MoonBears!
