2 days ago I brought my daughter to wai po house and we played poker cards with wai po. I suggested them to play oh kui (tortoise) but wai po could not remember what is oh kui and how to play oh kui. I was like.. oh ..oh.. is it because of the many strokes causing her lost of memory, since oh kui is the most traditional game in our family and easiest to play. So I taught them how to play.
After few times playing the same game, my daughter wanted to change to other game, so wai po said : "Play ang tiam (红点）!". Guess what, I have forgotten how to play ang tiam and I did not have any stroke!
I am getting old too!

The donkey **by AL Yeow
THE DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive..
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
