茶迹

普洱茶在我杯底留下了痕迹。

Mindfulness on the space

The other day was asking Bhante about the meaning of development without direction (S V 155), he told me about how Ajahn Sumedho teaches mindfulness on the space of the room. We always tends to focus on a problem we are facing, while this method brings our awareness to the space where the problem is inexistence.

Next day, I become aware of a photogenic scene which happens almost every day on my way to my work, which I never notice for the past 7 months... I stopped. And took a picture of it.

儲備飯碗

等候電影《9》上映的當兒，在武吉士閑逛時，發現這里有一間十九世紀建立的觀音廟。

在廟前面有一個引人注目的看命檔口，看命佬是一個英國人，用的是易經三個銅錢占卦法，看一次收$15。

其實自己最近也自學學會了這個占卦法，嗯，我想我總算也找到了一個儲備飯碗:P

Sub-way

While on the way to grab a subway burger near my house, a frail old man with a staff and a blue plastic bag waved at me from a bus stop.

I hesitated a bit and walked to him thinking he might need any help. Without saying a word, he just hand over the seemingly heavy plastic bag. I hesitated again and then decided to just take it while he then trying hard to stand up. I helped him and he just grab hold of my left wrist and we start walking.

Peeking at some newspapers inside the plastic bag, I guess he is of Malay ethnic, so I asked "Pakcik nak pergi mana?" (Where you wanna go uncle?) "Sembayang." (Praying) I finally knew he is heading to Hajjah Fatimah Mosque which is just next to my flat. As he is having some difficulties walking, the short distance path which took me only 30 seconds while I walk to work daily became a very long one. I get to know that he actually came from Woodland and he told me that the mosque was built in 1840.

Finally, we reached the door of the mosque and that's the first time I'm standing so close and looking at it. He signaled me to put down his plastic bag and then he held his hand forward. I hesitated for a second and shook his hand. After shaking my hand, he pointed his fingers toward his heart just as a Muslim always do. I take that to be a wordless thankfulness.

机饼

今天的例场有机午餐变成了晚餐--番薯番茄馅饼，别有一番风味。仔细算一下，吃有机餐还有点奢侈的，但是偶尔对待自己的身体好一点，也是应该的。

机水

今天又去吃机饭、喝机水。
虽然我并不是虔诚的有机素食教徒，但是每逢星期六的午餐渐渐成为了我的一种宗教仪式。

左图的可乐比可口可乐还可口，有原味的感觉。
真正的可乐zero，应该就是这种味道。

裕花园

阔别十六年后再来到这个花园，景色几乎都保存着相同的感觉。心境则少了那份雀跃，多了一份平静和踏实。

Dreams on

Has been gazing at these walls every week for the past one month plus, which at the same time fulfilled the swimming discipline I set for myself.

Now it has became an enjoyment that I'm dreaming to owned a place with a pool so that I could do it everyday...

猫二

又路过那只猫...

喵！不要拍！
(其实是用猫手挡阳光睡觉)

猫说

每天吃午餐路过总会看到的一只肥猫，它的活动空间好像就只是那个巴士站和服装店的5米直径范围里面。

我心里总是会羡慕猫的生活,懒洋洋的想睡时身体一伸就趴下来。从来不必想工作的死期和担心被裁员的问题...

“喵...整天要跟人类撒娇讨饭吃也不容易的喵...”猫说。
