This blog is for those who are around me to share my world

Reflections and thoughts I have gathered for myself during my 9-month stay in China. I hope this blog will be able to bless each and everyone of you in what ever ways that God wants it to be.

Goes out to all my friends

My beloved friends,

I just came back from china trip. here are the summaries of my observations....

1. Your senses are sharpened after a few days trip. eg the toilet smell, the sight of shit piled sky high, fossilized and filled with flies all around is enough to put you off a few meals. hmm, good slimming program isn't it? why do people still pay up to thousand bucks for slimming program? suggestion, lock them up in the china toilets for a couple of days, super models-like figures will flood the streets.

2. Medical halls that tell you bear's biles and palms, dogs' penises, snakes' blood and guts, bee's honey, or other animal parts can do wonders for the entire body. was sicken with the fact that these people are lying with eyes open and hearts without conscience. if they are so good, then why do we need so many doctors, hospitals and other medical facilities in China?

3. You need to use alot of imagation in china during visits to the attractions. seeing the famous Li Jiang in Guilin and Zhang Jia Jie in Hunan ie. stone forest, flower gardens, lime stones formations. the tour guide will just describe all these formations as resembling ballet dancers, elephants squatting, or even beautiful tribal ladies scattering the flower petals. it really required a bit of input on your eyes and brains to say.."ahhhh indeed it does look like that", and just wonder at the back of your head...."Am i severely myopic or seriously lacks creativity or what???"

4. Lastly.... even if the price of jade, tibetian beads and costly medicine in china doesn't kill you... The oil, salt and MSG in their food will get to your internal organs, causing your life to shorten, or if not, the amount of frustrations dealing with the saleswomen/train ticket sellers will raise your blood pressure to its peak level.

Finally back home, time to rest...but at the same time, i miss that place.its just that love-hate relationship, which really triggered me, even until now.

Sharing of love will be the most important priority in my life

I came upon this reading that everyone needs love. Love from friends and family and that someone special to you. It will be something wrong with me if I am watching a sunrise or sunset and feels on joy.

Thus every time when I saw the great creations of God, the beautiful landscape, the snowcapped mountains, lush green grasslands, crystal clear lakes that allows you to see through like a panel of glass, clear blue skies with cottons of clouds, I will always be reminded of people whom I loved back home. How I wish I can share all these with them. And I always have this tinge of guilt that I am enjoying such beauty of God's creations by myself. I had thoughts that blamed me for being selfish. And so, I love photography, because that is the only medium for me to share the beauty to my eyes with those who have no chance to witness it. I took a lot of pictures because I know I am doing it for people whom I love and I want to share.

I think I know God has blessed me with this gift of sharing. I like to share ideas, thoughts, feelings, or light with people. I enjoy sparring of ideas and listening to other people expressing their point of views.

Well, my resolutions: maybe I should go into a job that provides me with ample opportunity to share myself with others.

I don’t want to be the case that when I meet my Creator, He questioned me, “Why didn’t you use the gifts that I have blessed you with while you are still on Earth?”


This is Monoglia!

I love Mongolia. this country just draw my heart and my breath away. i love this land and their people. i enjoy the every second when i was trekking along the crystal clear lake. will talk more about my mongolia experiences next time.

Meanwhile, here are some pcitures of mongolia. I think this time round, pictures really speak a thousand words. No need me to elaborate more. Just enjoy the pictures....


and you will know what I meant by breath-taking...

Just a few sentences to share and open up your mind

A quote from Dr Tan Lai Yong, a medical doctor who gave up his highly paid job, went over to Kunming in Yunnan and stayed there for more than 10 years, serving the Chinese and serving God.

“A lot of times, things are not so black and white. Maybe honesty is the ultimate victim, and I have learnt that muddy matters have no neat answers. Ethics are just simple matters of right and wrong, it’s the practice of ethics that are difficult".

Makes me really reflect on his words and really sets me into thinking.
