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
28) Where is this sculpture?
Sculpture outside URA
This sculpture can be found outside URA-Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Building in Singapore.
This sculpture is a symbolic of the Sam Shui Woman (红头巾) in memory of their selflessness contributions to our country.
Sam Shui Woman whom is a Chinese immigrant from Sam Shui, a province of China during the olden days.
Most of them work in construction site, doing hard labour works like carrying cement, bricks and timber for building construction. They are tough and work very hard day and night, mostly more than 10 hours a day, but only get 5 to 6 cents in return during those days.
They put on a self-design scarf in the color of red to shade themselves from rain and shine.
Most Sam Shui Woman live in Chinatown area, along豆腐街, Tofu Street (presently known as Chin Chew Street). They stay in rented conservation unit with unpleasant and unhealthy condition, as most of them are cramped in the small little space the unit can provide.
But, subsequently their names gradually gain the respect of the community at home and abroad as they have contributed tremendously to the building construction industries in those days. “Red Scarf”, thus became the revered of Sam Shui woman unique and specific terms showing the noble and resilient character of the Overseas Chinese Women.

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

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
14) A song for your own sake (1)
Why are you tearing, my dearest elephant?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know boogie, you know art painting and basketball tossing.
And you should be happy and in high spirits.
Rather than tangle and muddle, starving in the jungle
And this is for your own good.
To leave your mother at childhood
So that you can learn how to entertain from young age
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake

Why are you tearing, my dearest peacock?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know fan dancing and catwalk, turning here and there doing all sides walk
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than waiting to be fed by strangers in your own niche
And this is for your own good
To leave the lonely park
Performing your fan dancing art
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake
- Cock fighting (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Why are you tearing, my dearest fowl?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know how to fly and do Thai boxing
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than searching food in the poor village
And this is for your own good
To be a good fighter and front-line protector
So that people get cheer up and thrill to see you being a terminator
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake
Why are you tearing, my dearest silver lining shark?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the grand dinning hall?
You know the way to please our taste bud and fill up our deep stomach
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than being a bloody flesh-eating machine, you ended up in fine dinning
And this is for your own good
To be a first class cuisine just to sacrifice your fins
So that people can boost their ego and swank their image
All these is for your own sake
Too bad, 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
Friend (21) – My Silhouette / 朋友 – 我的轮廓
Today is not a fresh and awakening Monday morning, but when I look out the window, a shadow lands on the wall of the building.
It is the silhouette of the building where I stay.
Perhaps, we feel very insignificant compared to this big universe. Then, leaving in a small space will indirectly affect our mindset.
This scene reminded me that I am living in a building other than a home. Outside this home, there are more space with different views awaiting for you.
You can try to stay along the corridor way for a little longer, waiting for a neighbour whom you can speak with, or choose taking the stairs to experience the difference of ascending and descending.
In this scene, I found my friend, he is call “space”.
今天不是一个空气清新的星期一早晨，透过窗户，一个影子停留在墙面。
那是我住的楼房经过太阳的照射，投影在墙上的轮廓。
我们也许心里感到自己很渺小，比起若大的宇宙。老是呆在狭小的空间，会间接影响心灵的空间。
这一幕让我了解，我是住在楼里，不是家里，家外的楼还有很多可以移动的空间，在那里还有不同的景色等着你。
你可以尝试在公共走廊多呆一伙儿，看看有没有可以打交道的邻居。又或者选择走楼梯，爬上走下都有不同的体会。
这一幕我找到我的朋友，他叫“空间”。
4) Problem and Picture
Wife: You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?
Darling: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture and the problem disappears.
Wife: You see, how miraculous and powerful I am for you?
Darling: Yes, I see your picture and say to myself, “What other problem Can there be greater than this one?
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
