16) Slow Song
I am a Sloth
Slow like a tortoise, happy like a saint
Living in the tree
Grounded with a brain
Gentle, happy, lovely face
I wouldn’t go for a race
As I am living in my own way
I am a Tortoise
Slow like a snail, live like a saint
Strolling on the ground
Protected by my own shell
Gentle, happy, lovely face
I wouldn’t go for a race
As the rabbit had already lost the race
I am a snail
Slow like a worm, crawling like a saint
Chewing in the green
Singing in the rain
Gentle, happy, lovely face
I wouldn’t go for a race
As I may end up on your dining tray
I am a human being
Speed like superman, think like Spiderman
Files piling up on my desk
Water level reaching up my neck
No more gentle, happy, lovely face
I always go for a race
‘Else my boss will said to me
you are sloth like a tortoise, slow like a snail
Hiring you is a waste
1) Attention to my Dearest Nominators and Followers
Hi, my Dearest Nominators
I have been searching all corners of myself
To look for a beautiful reason to say I’m sorry
I open up my drawer
And I see emptiness in the diary, waiting for me to infuse
I open up my safe
And I see another emptiness in the figures, which is no longer safe
I open up my sky
Trying to find out the mixture of East and West
I open up my image album
Attempting to figure out how shabby I am
For the time being
I am still searching
For a beautiful reason to say sorry
If I have turn you down and have let you down
Hi, my Dearest Followers
I have been looking all corners of myself
Searching for a beautiful land to greet you with proper delight Hi
I open up my book cabinet
Started swimming into the ocean of knowledge
I open up your book cabinet
Dive in and almost get drown
I open up our book cabinet
And I saw a smile and warm handshake
I open up our National cabinet
Flattered by this gigantic book filled up with people with knowledge at all age.
Well, for the time being,
I am still searching
For a beautiful land to greet you with proper Hi
15) A song for your own sake (2)
- Boy, do girls ever love those monkeys! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
We love you more than we can say
My dearest little monkey
You should not complain anymore
Just as you are a clown in the forest
And this is for your own good
You can expand your talent in the circus roundabout
To win a big applause
All these are for your own sake
As we shall always love you
That is what they rake

We love you more than we can say
My dearest little rabbit
You shouldn’t be squeaking anymore
As you are a timid guy living in the cave
And this is for your own good
You can expose your outfit to earn profit
All these are for your own sake
As we shall always love you
That is what they rake

We love you more than we can say
My dearest giant Garoupa
You shouldn’t be hiding underneath the ocean rock anymore
As you are one of the legend of the ocean kingdom
And this is for your own good
You become the celebrity in the chandelier hall
All these are for your own sake
As we shall always be your aficionado
That is what they rake

We love you more than we can say
My dearest little doggy
You shouldn’t be growing anymore
As you are just a little pet on the floor
And this is for your own good
You can expand your other side of talent
To win a big applause in the cold winter ending up on a dinning table
All these are for your own sake
As we shall always love you from our bottom of our stomach
That is what they rake
13) Toy Song
I am a naughty, jumpy monkey
I live in the air swing here and there
I take charge of this little airy corner
Receive the charming wind and the freshly air
I am the dancer of this family
My role of that is bringing on a cheerful smile and giving joy
I am a chubby, cute Koala bear
I live in foliage climbing here and there
I take charge of this greenery corner
Receiving the sun ray and the dew
I am the gardener of this family
My role of that is giving oxygen and bringing out a blissful face
I am
I am a clumsy food expert Hippo
I live in the kitchen serving here and there
I take charge of this little F&B corner
Providing salts and pepper
I am the food reminder of this family
My role of that is advising healthy life style and providing energy
I am a rest and relax kitty
I live in the library rack serving books for reading
I take charge of the library management
Receiving and dispatching books in and out
I am the almanac of this family
My role of that is providing knowledge and directory
We all live under one roof
We have different role to play
Regardless of breed or age
We obey the rule of the family
To be compromising and forgiving
To live in perfect harmony
12) Rubbish Song
Call me a cigarette butt
I sacrifice my nicotine nutrients to offer you a series of energy
And a secret path to chill and inspiration
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a tissue paper
I got myself dirty to offer a gentle touch to your lips
And help you wipe down your glutton look
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a bottled drink
I offer you a soothing feel
And quench your thirst
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a river
I offer you fresh water from the origin
And the reflections of sky and landscape
But see what you have offered me in return
All the Rubbish you have laid down on my riverbed
And now river of trash
11) I asked
I asked the bullet
Why do you like to kill?
He replied
I am just a bullet
Without a gun I am a peanut on the desk
I asked the gun
Why do you like to kill?
He replied
I am just a gun
Without a finger to trigger, I am just an iron sculpture for display
I asked the finger
Why do you trigger the gun?
He replied
I belong to the being

I asked Ferrari
Why do you like to speed and kill
He replied
I am just a fast car
Without a V12 engine I am just as slow as you

I ask the V12 engine
Why do you like to speed and kill
He replied
Without the accelerator, I am just a musical pipe
I ask accelerator

Why do you like to speed and kill?
He replied
Without a foot stepping me, I am just a metal plate
I asked the foot
Why do you like to speed and kill?
He replied
I belong to the being
I asked the being
Why do you like to speed and kill?
He replied
Ask my Ferrari
27) Where is this place?
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?
8) Moon Song / 月歌
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
The melancholy poet and the mission painter
- Portrait Ludwig van Beethoven when composing the Missa Solemnis (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
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
- English: Tree silhouette near Witham This tree with the moon behind was alone in a field of stubble. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
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
- A windmill overlooking a moonlit bay (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
你不该老盯着音乐家
最终连那耳聪的也着魔
还有忧郁的诗人与使命的画家
你不该爬到树上
装扮含情默默的样子
你不该爬到船头
装作远走它乡
你不该在农历十五出现
让地上的人群忙于为你奔波
你不该让人为你围着火堆跳舞
你不该让人为你制造圣品来祭拜
你不该让这地球上有生命没生命的
盯着你看
直到他们失去生命
直到他们重获生命
26) Where is this place ?
Labrador Park Pt 3
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.
