ผมไม่ได้ไปร่วมชุมนุมในวันที่ 14-15 ตุลาคม ที่ผ่านมา เพราะก่อนหน้านี้ผมไปชุมนุมบ่อย และที่บ้านก็ทัดทานเอาไว้หลายครั้งว่าอย่าไป อย่าทำให้ตัวเองและครอบครัวเดือดร้อน
.
แต่การไม่ได้ไปสองวันที่ผ่านทำให้ผมรู้สึกเหมือนมีชะนักติดอยู่ในใจ มันเหมือนเวลาเราดูหนังสงคราม แล้วเพื่อนทุกคนหยิบดาบจับปืนไปรบกันหมด เหลือแต่เราที่ไปไม่ได้ ...จะด้วยเหตุผลอะไรก็แล้วแต่...มันทำให้ผมรู้สึกผิดมาก
.
พอรู้ว่าจะมีการชุมนุมวันนี้อีกวัน ผมเลยคิดว่า เออ...เราอยากไป...อยากชดเชยสิ่งที่เพื่อน ๆ ทำไว้เมื่อสองว...
Continue ReadingI didn't go to the congregation on October 14-15th, since I went to gather more often and at home, I have decided not to go. Don't bother myself and family.
.
But not going to the last two days makes me feel like I have a chance to be stuck in my mind. It's like when we watch a war movie and all friends pick up swords and fighters. There are only reasons we can't go... It makes me feel so guilty.
.
When I knew there would be another gathering today, I thought, um, we wanted to go... I wanted to make up for what friends did two days ago.
.
I drove through Chidlom station from 3 pm. I saw the police set up a police station, messing up and investigating from many directions. I saw that I was taking control of all the rules from 2 pm. I was still talking to friends. Today, I should be Moob. I'm ′′ pouring Let me come to watch.
.
After stirring until Siam, around 4 o'clock, eating and working. Waiting for news about how we are going to do it. Mob announces really postponed. Made an appointment at 5 o'clock, but moved to close to Pathumwan. ...
.
I walked from Paracetamol to the middle of the intersection with Kerry, sound, and the speaker. And the people stood down. But it wasn't like two days ago. From the angle where I stood from the stereo for 20 Meters. People are watching from the corner. Very few. (Let's see the picture behind the side where there are many people. It's the road in front of Bunchak
.
Standing to listen to the speech. The atmosphere is normal. The first time, it seems to be a smooth talk. But there is a sound. There is a sound in the moment that ′′ go out ′′ from the side of the Suphai field. I guess I'm going to chase the agent. I'm trying to break through, normally someone gives me free drinking water. I accept it without knowing it will save my life later....
.
It's raining while it's raining. I'm standing in the rain and working in the middle of the Mop (imitation of Northern Netanya). Sister, the lady pokes me, ′′ Do you want a rain coat? I bought it for those who don't have it. ′′ Which I also accept. Thank you very much.
.
Talking to his sister, standing behind me, makes me look at the back road (in front of paragon). I see the emergency light far away..... Do you think it's an emergency vehicle? I don't know how to feel... so I went to see it.
.
I walked closer to the emergency light in front of Paragon. I saw a man standing in front of the board, turning to the Ratchadraphaphat crossroads. And I found a lot of police, standing in front of the board in the formation, preparing to invade the back. There was a majestic water in the back. With a megaphone order all the time.
.
I was shocked, ran back to the spot where I was standing assembly and shouted, ′′ The water car comes! The water car came!" The people who listened for the first time. Most of them were shocked. I couldn't do anything right. I passed about 5 seconds until I started to move. It's broken now.
.
The biggest dharma puzzle in my life today is when I came running back to tell the news and thought it's okay. I sent the news and someone found out.... and I ran back to the front line of the point.... Why did I run.....
.
While going back, I heard a megaphone. ′′ Give the demonstrators 3 minutes to leave the area
.
Come back this time, vertical. Let's get the demolition like a shield. Prepare to get water from the water car. Sparta warrior in the movie 300 with a little ironing. There is a noise from the telephone. Counting down. My heart is beating like a battlefield.
.
10.... Damn. What do I do?
.
9.... They will be positive.
.
8.... Damn went to push the fence with him.
.
7.... I shouldn't be okay. You won't be healthy. You
.
6.... Let's take a video!
.
Taken my mobile phone camera and took it on the roadside. Not on the road.
.
3... 2... 1 Police move in vs Demonstrators
.
First round of sprinklers - second round. Federal station, no problem. The demonstrators are shouting. Happy to shoot around three times. Straightly hit the demonstrators. I watched the time they defeated the riot in the abroad. The water pressure was very high. I got the body blown away.
.
Demonstrators still stand. Water car. Change water color. Injection color to blue. Shooting at the demonstrators in mind. I wonder why they changed colors?.... But in the middle of the road, they were pushed for minutes. The situation is very disturbing. It seems like they saw the person. Snatch the shield from the police and use it to push the police.
.
A while back, some demonstrators joined the metal fence to the forefront. But it wasn't much, but it wasn't much. The demonstrators retreated and broke down from where I was standing for a while. The car was injected with the footprint. Made the front of me crack. I was in the second row. I took a water car and shot it. Now it's in my head. Face in my mouth.
.
I got water for 2-3 seconds. I feel pain in my eyes and face. Someone said that it's mixed with tear gas. So I took the water bottle that they gave away when I listened to it. I washed my face but I had less oil because I ate and divided other people. So I escaped into Siam. There was a person standing and watching in Siam. It was about 20 people from the point of the vagina. There was a woman shouting ′′ There was water in the water. If anybody got gas, I could wash my face
.
I have a sister. The old one was around the corner and said that ′′ you need to wash it off, you have been left before. It will have long term consequences
.
I tried to wash as much as I could and ran out of the area. Keep my life in the next battle. We will fight for a long time.
.
Ps. Found out later that blue is injected to identify the demonstrators to easily catch. Clear water is a chemical mix of eye pain.Translated

“There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.
Whenever it rains you will think of her.” - Neil Gaiman

A beautiful yet melancholy passage for your daily inspiration.

【加減乘除的人生】

I have been very broke and very broken before.

(60 cents in bank, hello!)

In those dreadful days of brokenness, I spent countless long nights binge watching Youtube and blog surfing. From midnight all the way to dawn.

I lamented at how many other people are more successful, eloquent, smarter and better-looking than me.

Influencers, bloggers, content creators, Youtubers...

The more I watched and read, the more broken and stupid I felt.

My failed businesses have knocked the wind out of me and I lost the confidence to be a Feng Shui practitioner, despite Shifu and my husband egging me on.

I assumed I would suck at it, just like how I failed at everything else.

I hid for a very long long time in my eggshell, refusing to tell people that I know Metaphysics or the Dharma to help them with their life problems.

I can't even help myself. How am I qualified to help them?

Fast forward 5 years later, I am blessed with a growing audience through my writing and FB Livestreams.

That I am able to monetise what I have been learning for the past 11 years and changing people's lives, one Bazi at a time.

What's more astonishing was I self-taught myself into doing up videos on the topics that matter most to my heart.

Watching YouTube make my dreams come true. #yesmumthatstrue

You may have read that I produced a Vesak Day video, a Mothers' Day video, a Summer Health Guide and a Father's Day video for Shifu in the last 2 months. Their combined total views are over 3000.

It felt bittersweet to hear from my husband he liked my videos.

You see, years ago, when I was crippled by my business, I asked the Husband if his company needed a marketing person for their social media.

I thought they could do better in their FB marketing and gave him a lot of ideas.

The husband brushed me off, saying that his boss was unlikely to have the budget to take me in. I tried bargaining for just $200/mth for trial. But was turned down flat. #stingy

I was forced to come out and do something on my own. #女人當自強

Life feels like a Ferris wheel of deja vu sometimes.

2001. My first attempt in doing videos started in NUS Buddhist Society. I was sought to be the Vice-Chairperson in the Freshmen Orientation Camp committee. At that time, my mum bought a Sony camcorder and somehow we came up with the idea of doing a video, introducing Buddhism to the freshies, modelled after the 城人雜誌 variety show.

We went to a few temples in Singapore, of Tibetan, Mahayana and Theravada linages, showcasing the difference in various styles of prostration and offerings. My Chairman Vincent Kwan and another Comm. member starred in the video, while I did the voiceover and shooting.

I had to beg my Bizad friend who was a whiz in IT stuff, to help me edit. I parked like an owl at his home for several nights till after midnight.

Despite all the efforts we put in, the video wasn't well-received by the freshies. They felt Buddhism is one complicated maze after watching it. But the seniors liked it.

I learnt the importance of understanding my target market and perceived customisation.

Not that I understood that better when I did businesses.

I only got it after I became a Feng Shui practitioner and marketing online for a year through more trial and error.

Before the few videos I did this year, I had produced videos for Shifu a few years back. They received generally good response on his budding FB page. Despite being very low key, he has major underground Peach Blossom Luck and much goodwill among his clientele after all.

But nothing like these recent videos that get shared 11-13 times, with reach over 500-600% of the page's fan base.

I don't know what clicked inside me this year, to be able to produce videos that people like.

To be able to do FB Lives that get shared, reacted and commented, and be told that I'm natural on screen, when I used to have onscreen fright.

Feels like Disney magic at work, doesn't it? (Okay, I admit I used Feng Shui.)

I look back and discover life is a game of arithmetic.

My story-telling competitions in primary school.

A librarian in secondary school.

My leadership roles in JC and NUS.

My key role in project presentations in Uni.

Door-to-door and telephone surveys.

A barista in Coffee Bean.

Modelling for Carrie's.

A banquet waitress at Royal Scotts (where the fish head flew onto the table, sauce and fish eyeballs and all, as I was cutting up the fish)

Tutoring children.

Meeting tens of thousands of passengers in SQ.

Being the merchandiser, photographer and graphics designer for my failed blogshop business.

Tagging along the generous and strict Shifu, who taught me for free all these 11 years.

Knowing Sam Choo and Tavia Wong, in 2015 July, opened up my eyes to the IM world and learnt branding + FB marketing knowledge that my NUS professors miss out.

The rejections, the failures...

Take out any one of these, and I would lose that courage, gungho-ness, eloquence, marketability and skilfulness in handling people and trying new things, that you see now.

I sometimes see clients who lament about their less-than-desirable family backgrounds.

Or their companies who do not give them the pay and environment they crave.

Or their partners who always hold them back.

They tell me their dreams and ask me what they can do.

I would eagerly tell them their favourable elements and industries to work in.

Over time, I observed clients can know how to use their favourable elements, and yet have massively different results.

The difference lies not just in their attitude towards life, but what skills they have amassed over the years.

People have dreams, but few make serious effort to gain a skill that will push them an inch closer to their aspirations.

Or they get so caught up in life's dramas that they forgot they can.

I have seen too many clients resigned to tough life. Especially those with children.

It's like they have bid farewell to Life, before they even get near the coffin. #趕去投胎嗎

My Bazi indicated that I would be doing what I studied as a career.

I was telling Shifu, strange that I wasn't.

He told me, I was. With all the heavy duty articles I post on FB, the copywriting I learnt, landing pages, 50 over FB Livestreams, 11 workshops, I am marketing Chinese Metaphysics and Dharma.

Derrick, my web designer, remarked that he had never seen a geomancer who does marketing online the way I did. Very different from what he had seen.

I realised they are right. I am very marketing-slanted in the way I do things. NUS Bizad will be so proud of this alumni.

On my down days, I would think it is too late for me to be doing all these when I'm hitting 40.

On my up days like today, I would think if not now, when?

The more you practice, the more polished you get at doing something.

You have seen me at my most amateurish on FB, writing and doing Livestreams.

I hope it had inspired you in one way or another. If not for the better, at least don't make the same mistakes I did. Make better ones. 😄

If you wish to join me on my journey, as I take my baby step into Youtube, you can subscribe to me at:

There is only one video uploaded so far. No channel art. No fancy words. No custom URL as I would need 100 subs before I qualify.

That 4-minute video was my very first video on Chinese Metaphysics and got me over 1459 views on Facebook, since 2016 June.

I only have 350+ friends now. Does that mean each of you watch it thrice? 😍

I will gradually edit my FB videos, throw in the subtitles, and upload them on Youtube. It won't be monetised so that next time, you can binge watch my videos with no interruption.

While I have a couple of videos in the pipeline, I do not have concrete plans what I wish to do for my Youtube channel.

But life is a game of arithmetic. As long as I am moving in my favourable direction, I am going to grow into a health stocky broccoli. Non-GMO.

Stay with me, my friend. Let's see how high we can soar together.

Fun fact: I'm still using a Sony camera for my videos.
