Am watching Supreme Master tv, a free positive onlinetv channel :):)
share some good news :).....
Today, Singapore is mentioned in ‘Noteworthy News’.:):)
‘Singapore develops a green curriculum in schools. …
Singapore's Environmental Education module teachesprimary school students about air purification andwater conservation.’
‘Thank you for teaching young children to protect our beautiful Earth.’ : ) : )
........
On ‘Planet Earth’, a program that focus onenvironmental issues, today’s highlight is a greenenergy/product Expo. – 2007 wired expo.
Manufacturers are now producing products made fromCO2.A company is using CO2 to make plastics. [37% CO2] Another company changes CO2 into biofuel [ethanol]and uses it in transport systems.
Turning the CO2 green house gas into something usefulis a cool idea. : )
….
Another program features peace efforts by Israeli and Palestine families who have lost familymembers due to the conflict. Israeli and Palestinefamilies are reaching out to each other to promote peace and understanding among each other.
An Israeli-and-Palestine artist team is going to schools, interacting with students and giving human-to-human talks.
Bless their peaceful efforts in creating mutualunderstandings among their people. Mutual understanding is a tremendous step in the way ofpeace.
Shalom [‘peace’ in Hebrew]
…
There are other interesting and positive programs onthe channel, but I’ll leave u to watch yourself. : )
The channel is available at :www.suprememastertv.com
I’ll end with the closing words of the program presenter :
'May your days be blessed
with the Sunshine of smiling faces,
the wind of good fortune and
an abundance of positive energy.' :):)

3 movie recommendations
Watched quite a few movies in the holidays : ) : )
Recommend a few good ones. : )
…………….
1.Evan Almighty Directed by Tom Shadyac.
This is a funny family comedy where Junior congressman Evan Baxter [played by Steve Carell] prayed to ‘change the world’ and was called upon by God [played by Morgan Freeman] to build an Ark. [Actually Norah’s Ark : ) : ) ]
Evan tries to ignore this unusual request but Funny things begin to happen. Wood companies started delivering wood to his doorstep, animals started appearing before Evan two-by-two, and Evan started to grow a beard that could not be shaved. : ) : )
There are some nice conversations in the movie.
Evan asked, “ How do you go about saving the world?”
God said, ”By performing random act of kindness, one at a time.”
………
God appeared before Evan’s wife in the form of a waiter. : )
“When someone prayed for courage, What should God do?
Should He grant her courage, or the opportunity to be courageous?
When someone prayed for kindness,
Should He grant her kindness, or the opportunity to be kind?
When someone prayed to have family closeness,
Should God grant her family closeness or the opportunity to be close to her family?
Think about it. : ) : ) ”
This really got Evan’s wife thinking : ) : )
…………..
2. Miss Potter.
Miss Potter is the creator of Peter Rabbits, the world famous children’s book.
She wrote those delightful stories and draw the pictures in the book. : )
In the beginning of the film, Miss Potter said “There is something exciting when you started writing a story, you never can tell where it would bring you… Mine brought me here. “
A farmland of greeneries with a lake of exquisite beauty. : )
This is a Victorian story that is beautiful, elegant and kind. It’s full of grace, good manners and portrays the life of the artist/author/gentlelady – Miss Potter. This is the true English culture that our young school children should be exposed to. : ) : )
A movie review reads “It is a movie that grows on you and very beautiful to behold.”
Some funny conversations from the movie.
“My mother and I have finally reached an understanding. We both understand that we couldn’t understand each other at all !”
“I know that I’ve decided not to marry long ago …… but your brother just proposed to me. And I’m afraid that I have to say yes. ! ! “
It’s a romantic, touching, and gentle movie that will take your breath away. : ) : )
[Well ….. it took mine away for a while : ) : ) ]
…………..
3. Step Up
This is a hip-hop movie that really shows the American Hip Hop culture.
The night-partying, the dancing, the singing, the car-stealing, the gun shooting.
I would rate it PG [Parental Guidance] as there are some hot dancing that our kids shouldn’t be exposed to. [At least not at a young age. : ( ]
The hip hop dancing is quite impressive, it would take long hours of hard training to master the different body movements.
The movie shows the underlying problems that America faces. “ Fights in dance parties, easy assessiblity to guns, vandalism etc”
However, it also shows the bright side of life, the repentance, the taking of chances to prove one’s worth, the hardwork, the success etc.
If you wish to study the Hip-hop culture in America, this is a must-watch.
That’s all the movie review I have for now. : ) : )
You can borrow the movies from your friendly neighbourhood video rental shops.
Happy watching and have a nice holiday : ) : )

When you chance upon the land of the poets.
When you chance upon the land of the poets.
When you chance upon the land of the poets,
Trend gently, my friend,
Be not in a hurry ...
Share the grace of warm friendship,
Enjoy a story or maybe two ..
...
When you chance upon the land of the poets,
Place your hat among the flowers,
Lay your mat upon the ground.
Look around with childish eyes,
Enjoy Beauty as Beauty enjoys thou ..
...
When you chance upon the land of the poets,
Let your heart rest upon the moment,
Let thy conscious be in tune.
Let thy worries ease into nothingness.
And be a part of Melodious sound ...

A meaningful quote
A Quote
Recently Supreme Master Ching Hai shared many good jokes, many good stories with her disciples.
She shares a quote from a Vietnamese President,
saying that this is a day-to-day, down-to-earth saint,
with no glorious title like 'the disciple of a great master' etc ...
"I'm no saint. I just sleep late, wake up early ...
[probably because of a lot of work / heavy responsibility of the presidency]
And take care of every detail of my life,
minute by minute, second by second..."
Master remarked that if we could just do that,
Just be a day-to-day, ordinary gentlemen/lady,
trying our best to do our duty and taking good care of minute things that fall upon our path,
We would bring much happiness to ourselves, and the people around us. :):)

I love library : )
Hi friends,
I am in Geylang East Library, and see a board where
they let people paste their 'I Love Library' notes.
The following are a few that I find rather funny and
heart-warming:
The library has many books to bring home to read.
It's better than the book stores, cause you don't have
to pay anything. :P
.......
Library is like my home -> Sweet, clean & comfortable
The librarian are like my parents -> helpful, caring
and kind.
The Library is our house of books, containing love &
Knowledge.
Home Sweet Library
Sign
........
Library is a place for reading
and there are prizes to be won !
.......
We love the library,
'cause it has many storybooks
and it's very beautiful.
We can also borrow the toilets to use.
Ha Ha.
.........
I Love the library,
but,
Sometimes,
the library
love me.
[very Zen! :P]
.........
It's a heaven of Wisdom.
.......
I Love the library,
as it is a place
to bring my love ones. :>
.....
I Love a library,
Where everyone smiles.
....
Knowledge for LIFE!
.......
I also added a little note :
A place where wisdom flowers,
A place where knowledge is passed.
A place of solitude and quiet moments,
A place reserved in my heart. :)
.....
I myself have many fond memories of the library,
I visit it quite often to use the internet
and to read some nice books :)
Visit your friendly NLB soon :)
Best wishes,
Low ck

Letter to a friend
To a friend who is unwell,
When you are ill, you have time. : ) : )
All the work and house work, you could put behind.....
Allow your heart to relax,
Go out, if situation permits, to look at the flowers and the trees.
Apologize to them for not appreciating their beauty (before.)
Once I wrote such a poem while talking to the flowers:
That day, my dear, I saw a flower.
And softly uttered these words to her
" You and I came down for the same purpose,
To glorify the Universal Power
and to beautify the world.
You are doing your job dutifully
I am trying hard to do mine.
Help to remind me of our common goal
That I may always keep our ideals in sight.
"
(It's wonderous what nature could teach us, isn't it?.)
When your friends come to visit you,
Allow the warmth of friendship to flow,
from the concern in your commarade's eyes, unto your heart.
When your relatives visit you,
Reconnect to those whom you have neither chance nor time to be together.
And enjoy the family togetherness.
Enjoy the company of your wife and your son,
who are ever present by your side.
When you are alone, remember to remember the Almighty.
And pray within to the Highest Power for His will to be done.
Read a nice story before you sleep,
That you may end your day, with the name of the Beloved upon your lips ....
May the blessing of the Prophets be upon you....
Enjoy a very happy and short sickness....
Get well soon.
Ever Thy friend,
Low.
