Looking at the sparkling shine on the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddha at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, located at Bright Hill Road, my heart starts to bow at the arrival of the sunbeam. Certainly, this is a glorious moment. In the benevolent eyes of the grand statue, we come out like a diminutive being asking for forgiveness of our sins. The greatest you think you are, the smallest you seem in front of him.
The sheen on the golden mosaic tiled ridge come into sight merely when one does not deliberately look for it.
At certain angle, it looks like the Pagoda is shore up by the cheerful leaves or could it be it’s sitting on all beings?

Lady Moon, is all your fault!
You should not have rivers connected to the sky
You should not have let the singer has such good voice
A desirable place we all look forward to
You should not release the wolves in the desert
To chase you to the end of the planet
You should not have unleash the vampires
You should not have gazed at the musicians
Eventually even those hard on hearing are also possessed

You should not climb the tree
Dress up looking so demure
You should not have climb up to the bow of the ship
Pretending to flee your township
You should not have appeared on the 15th of the Lunar Month
You let the crowd on earth busy hastening
You should not have people dancing around the fire just for you
You should not have people manufacturing pious products for your worship
You should not let the earth live and let live
Fixing my eyes on you
Till they lost their lives
Until they regained their life

月亮,都是你的错!
你不该让河水接上天
你不该让歌手有这么好的嗓子
令人向往你的地方
你不该让沙漠上的狼
一直追你到天涯
你不该连吸血僵尸也不放过

Out of many, this is one of the “Black and White” houses on our little red dot. The name “Black and White” depicted the black painted timber windows & doors and the white color painted walls. Currently, there are about 600 colonial houses scattered around our main island. In the past, it was meant for public servants’ lodgings but these days, these houses are on lease for residential, commercial or F&B usage.
The picture revealed House No 30, Bukit Chermin, which is one of the grandest and largest of the four existing bungalows along Bukit Chermin. Just like the rest, the house is preserved by the URA, Conservation Unit.
However, the old Keppel Shipyard is gone at this time, it was relocated to another part of the island. Now the mangrove is left behind listening up to the tide gushing up and telling the old story of reminiscence.
Strolling along the Coastal Walk in noon time, is hard to find a single soul.

Walking towards the left of the Park, the scene of an inviting island over the other side of the sea greets you with open arm. This is the western side of Sentosa Island, Ford Siloso is lush by the den and greenish forest.
There is an machine gun post built during the British colonial era and is meant to protect the coastal shore. Thus, any attempt to assail the main island will acquire a heavy cost.
There is also a restoration of Dragon’s Teeth Gate. According to the provided introduction, Dragon’s Teeth Gate was famously known as “Batu Berlayer” or “Sailing Rocks” among the local Malays.
In 1349, A Chinese Historian Wang Da Yuan described in his article, “the straits between the two hills, Temasek (old name of Singapore) looks like Dragon’s Teeth, this is how the name was derived.
In 1405, the great Navigator, Zhen Hē sail passed Temasek using his navigation chart with Dragon’s Teeth Gate as one of the landmark.
In 1819, the first resident of Singapore, William Farquhar found a deep harbour at the site and named it Keppel Harbour. Subsequently, the British blew up Dragon’s Teeth Gate to widen Keppel Harbour. Fortunately, this historical scene was saved by an artist name J T Thomas with his brush of paint.

My Friend, you do not mind lying next to the grave, and you do not mind associating with strangers soaking up in holy bath. But you mind only if fall brings you the beauty of grief or sorrows. With your haughty attitude in autumn, I do not ask for much. As maple leaves died out all over the floor just for your tender face.

As you are always right
To chase you to the end of the planet
你不该在农历十五出现
