I do like horses. And when I wrote my book many years back, I wrote about "an amusement park, a horse's eye & little orange suns". This studious birthday gift on my writing desk brings me back to the magical times I spent experiencing life, feeling, and writing. And like a horse, steadfast, kind, strong. I do miss me writing. 🐴

"I was blinded by the sunlight in its eyes. I didn't know if it was #love or the notion of love I saw, that blinded me. Still, the reflection of the sun in its eyes was one of the most beautiful reflections I'd ever seen, and it was shining brightly. It was like a dream, maybe it was still a dream, the little black wooden horse the boy was riding on had transformed into this most magnificent creature standing in front of me.

We seemed to have known each other a long time, yet we had only just come to meet. In the short time that this lifeless, wooden, previously non-existent form had come to take on a real life form and existence in my eyes, we seemed to have been to many places together before. We had been through summers of orange suns, winters of falling snow, ploughed through tough uneven mountains, galloped across wide raging rivers, taken slow walks through large open fields of long grass and blue skies, leapt through windows of hope and promise of future which we drew for ourselves...

We just weren't so sure if all these were happening outside of the little carousel worlds we came from, or if indeed we were spinning to a quicker and giddier same rhythm within them. It didn't really matter perhaps, because we were #happy and we believed in it and it was #real." 💙

I ploughed my way through university by blasting @mewofficial on my car stereo, so it’s only right that 12 years later I celebrate my indie single release with the one and only @jonasbjerreofficial.
Come hang with us tomorrow if you’re all about that different timezone life!!

【祝君一路好走】(English writing below)

小時候，覺得我爸爸最帥，我媽媽最美麗，兩人天下無敵，有他們在，天大的問題都能解決。

某天，回眸一看時，發現父母當年的英姿已不復在。攝入眼簾的，盡是他們的貪嗔癡妒慢疑，以及厚厚的累世業障。

我相人越是厲害，看著他們越是難過。怎麼辦？我還來得及嗎？

我知道他們的過去，愈是看到他們的未來，心裡愈是坎坷不安。

度他們很難，真的很難。外人可以因爲我的一句話，改變自己，但我在自己的父母面前，卻常常無言以對。

那種毫無用武之地的無助、辛酸，及數次經歷失去親人的難過，讓我的靈感油然而生。

不能只想到自己的父母，還有別人的父母也要救。還有很多子女不懂佛法，必須把這方面的知識傳開來。

於是，就向師父提議製作這視頻，得到他同意後，再去採訪他的客人，一問一答地引出他們的內心話。

這視頻裡的畫面95%是自己拍攝，從一月拍到年中，有些是好幾年前的照片。

剪片四難（是nán也是nàn）

1）這是我第一次剪這樣的大片，晚上剪片到清晨，花了我前前後後7個月的時間。（差勁～～）做到一半沒有靈感要如何排這麼多的片段，腦袋卡機。

2）打上一分鐘的中英文字幕，需要一小時，還沒算打副標題的時間。

3）收音是採取自己直播用的领夹式麥克風，因此後製時，得先把音頻和片段接上。（眼花）

4）受訪者起初當心自己的華文能力不佳，我說沒事，我會剪到他們在螢幕上飆流利華文。結果～～～師父說的對，三思才後言～～淚

5）我花了至少500個小時剪片。來，任君笑～～

學到的教訓：用MacBook Air 剪大片，根本就是在丟青春～～

本來要在過年後，推出這影片，怎知身體有恙。
後來覺得清明也不錯，卻開始做有了聲書。
好吧！就應節在母親節，結果我來不及，
接著受邀著手進行師尊新書有聲書
就這樣，一半要堅持完美，一半剪片技術又只有半桶水...
堅持到在萬聖節後推出。 😅
（祖宗！大功告成了！放煙火ing~~~)

「退隱」臉書三個月，也拒絕見一些客人，這樣的堅持不祇爲了對得起別人，也爲了對得起自己。做出來的成品，希望普羅大眾的朋友們能對臨終關懷有初步的認識。感謝有這因緣。

把這充滿大家的汗、血、淚影片送給所有想盡孝道的兒女，願你和你的父母將來都能一路好走，走到西方境，永享極樂。

#圓了2018年的一大夢 #爲下一夢想沸騰

.....................

When I was a little girl, I used to think that my dad is the most handsome man , my mum the most beautiful woman, and that both of them were invincible. With them around, no problem is too big to solve.

One day, I turned back to find them no longer looking as heroic. All I saw was their greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, arrogance and suspicion, as well as the huge pile of karmic debts.

The more adept I am at reading a person, the more worried I get looking at them. What should I do? Is there still time for me, for them?
I know their past, and as I see more of their future, the more I feel unsettled.

It is very difficult to speak the Dharma to them. Really very difficult. An outsider can change his or her ways because of my words. However, In front of my parents, I am often loss for words.
The sense of helplessness, despite my capabilities, is heart wrenching and coupled with the pain of loss at the passing away of family members infused me with inspirations.

I cannot just think of my own parents, there are other people’s parents to save. There are still many sons and daughters out there who have not heard of the Dharma. I have to bring this wisdom to them.

Thus, when Master agreed to my proposal to make this video, I proceeded to interview his clients, using Q&A to throw some light into their inner worlds.

I shot almost 95% of the scenes in this video, within the period from January to mid year.

Four challenges I faced in video editing:
(challenges as well as “misfortunes”)

1. This is my first time editing such a large video. From nights to days, it took me 7 months in all (such a slow coach). Halfway through, the inspiration deserted me and i was stuck with plenty of footages and a cramping brain.

2. One minute worth of bilingual subtitles took me an hour in real time, and that does not include the sub-headings.

3. Audio was recorded through the lav microphone I usually use for my Lives. So in post production, I had to sync the audio files with the video files.

4. The interviewees were initially worried that their command of Mandarin may not be good enough. I reassured them that with my razor-sharp editing, they will be sprouting very fluent Mandarin onscreen.

Shifu is right. One must think thrice before speaking. (cries)

5. I spent at least 500 hours in editing. Come, laugh at me.

Morale of the story: using a MacBook Air for large video files burns my youth.

The original plan was to launch this video after Chinese New Year, if not for a short period of illness that befell on me.

I then postponed it to the Qing Ming Festival. However, my Root Guru's audio book project took precedence.

I told myself it had to be on Mother’s Day, since the filial theme was a perfect match. But I overestimated things. I ploughed on, insisting on perfection despite my half-baked video editing skills . As a result, I finally finished it on Halloween Day!

(Ancestors! I finally made it! Let the fireworks out!)

For this project, I disappeared from Facebook for 3 weeks and turned down some clients. This perseverance is not just about not letting others down. It is also about fulfilling my promise to myself.

I share this work, filled with sweat, tears and blood of all involved, to all children who wish to be filial to your parents all the way. May your parents eventually have a peaceful departure from this realm, and a blissful journey to the Western Paradise, and enjoy eternal bliss.

May you too.

In this video, I headed over to The Original Boat Noodles at Seletar Mall where I ploughed through 160 bowls of boat noodles. The Original Boat Noodles is a Thai restaurant that serves authentic boat noodles at only $1.50 per bowl and a selection of other Thai dishes and beverages.

For this challenge, I ate the Pathumtani and Ayutthaya versions of the boat noodles, but it also comes in Tom Yum and Kuey Chap flavours! The boat noodles themselves are accompanied by either beef or chicken balls and your of choice rice or springy noodles.

If you have never had the opportunity to try the real thing in Thailand, this is your next best option for Thai Boat Noodles!
