An afternoon stroll to Tampines forest
Got a chance to stroll into Tampines forest, a getaway place from the city and hassle. An unfinished road leads us to nowhere, a land where we can rest and rejuvenate.
An earthy ground that touches our soul and the sound of nature, we chat around while enjoying the voices of cicadas.
We dream like an infant in the arm of a warm caring mom.
All these raw yet un-cosmetic folks symbolize the most original face of nature. They don’t choose friend yet they made friends un-doubly.
They have no plans and strategy to survive. They just lived without asking for any reasons.
They lived in an inclusive, supportive and uplifting society.
“What is the secret of longevity?” I asked in silent. He replied in the wind, “we live everywhere”!
An eye for a rising sun
We can’t use our naked eyes to stare at the sun; but only a glimpse or a peep is good enough to charge up the battery for our daily usage.
A series of rising sun’s pictures dedicate to everybody who lived under the sun.
And wishing every one be well and hopeful like a rising sun!
My sweet Jumbos tree
I spotted a Eugenia Jumbos tree near Eco Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens. The floor are lying full of ripen fruits. It looks like a dropping bell at a glance.
Eugenia Jumbos has many common names; water apple, Malay apple and rose apple etc.
Eugenia Jumbos is native to Southeast Asia but naturalized in India.
The flesh is crunchy and watery, and the taste is sweet and fragrant. Some time you can find it in the Rojak food. Rojak is a kind of an Asia food that mixes with different kind of fruits, and stir with prawn paste and peanuts topping.
So next time if you happen to see this rosy cheek along the roadside, please greet him with a hello, because he is so shy that needs somebody to be more initiative than him.
Hello, my sweet Jumbos tree!
Who is going to protect them?
This is one of the Locust tree in Singapore Botanic Gardens, name Hymenaea courbaril. It is a common species in tropical America and used it in furniture, flooring and for decorative purposes.
Beside tall and widely spread in radius and this tree is also protected by lightning protection system. It safeguards the tree from damage due to lightning.
The tree shades us from rain and sun, and giving us oxygen without any pay back. So what is in our mind when we look at him under his unconditional love and protection?
Are we able to feel grateful about that? Being protected and protect them in return?
Sunshine on My Shoulders

A seclude path to heaven
I was so enthralled by this sloppy path next to the tomb wall of Fort Canning Hill. The fascination came from the tomb walls which were the collection of tombstones salvaged from the old Christian Cemetery. They were the pioneers from the western country in the 18th Century, one of them is George Coleman.
It is situated on both sides of the Fort Canning Centre. This is the back of the tombstones where it caught my eyes with the lovely afternoon beam.
Standing above the stairway and making guesses. Trying to inject the image of a holy land into my rocky mind! This could be the path where the most honorable contributors of the past saunter in and out daily, presenting us with the warmest and innocent smile.
Story about a white Samoyed
This lovely female white Samoyed named “Dou Dou” is a 1-year old abandoned by her owner. Her new owner, an old lady owns a little floral nursery along Pasir Ris. She took over the ownership of Dou Dou a week ago.
A week ago, a man came to her and asked her to adopt Dou Dou, she told me in a delightful tone. The man claimed that they just have a second child and he has another dog besides Dou Dou. He knew that the old lady is a trusting and loving person and so he decided to offer Dou Dou to her. With his words, I believed this man has been observing the old lady for a while and he’s left with no choice but to entrust the lovely pet to her.
The lady accepted Dou Dou from the bottom of her heart. For the first few days, Dou Dou refuse to eat as she must have been missing her previous owner and feeling homesick. She looses weight. With love of her new owner, she started to adapt to the new environment and walk around happily.
I managed to carry her in my arm. By my judgment, she is about 20kg! The weight of this little angel is the combination of the lady’s tender loving care and the patting of visitors. These help to bring back the smile on this white angel’s face.
Story about a black stray dog
I saw a black stray dog loitering opposite a pet farm along Pasir Ris. Shower came in a sudden on an ordinary Sunday afternoon. With no brolly in hand, I had no choice but to hide under a tree in order not to get drenched.
I felt I share the same fate with this black doggy. The only difference is he got a bigger shade, as he’s smart enough to hide himself under the lush dense bushes.
We both got doused while waiting for the rain to fade away. I thank my God as the shower slowly subsided. My little friend came out from the bush and look around suspiciously checking left and right making sure the rain has stopped and at the same time looking out for Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) who might be stalking him.
Not long after, he started his new journey and I started mine…
This is a stray that I met opposite the pet farm where pups are bought home for love and pampering. For him, no one notices his existence. Would anyone bother to care for him and shower him with love forever…?
Green green grass of home
We all live in a house where floor is in leafy green, ceiling in vast blue.
Wall paintings are either sun or moon.
No walls, no wars and no rooms!
We are all lived in the green green grass of home.
We are tiny but we cater for many…
We are the stars of the Eco Galaxy.
We believe humbleness.
We believe simplicity.
We believe austerity.
We believe accommodation.
We believe, we are not the only frail one who swaying in the wind.
We believe we take equal share, whether the sun is big or small, cause we all lived on the same land!
How to survive?
Husband was seriously ill.
Doc told wife: Give him healthy breakfast, be pleasant & in good mood.

On the way home…
Husband asked: what did the doc said ?
