Dancing trees

This painting started with a figure in the center, then I just let my spirit takes over, the trees came in, the leaves falling, the roots , and then breeze and then the colors of the wind then the smell, like what you have described. I took me one intense hour to finish in one shot. Like golf occasionally you experience a magical moment and wonder: "Are you there GOD?"

Cry of Desparation

"Today will go down in History to be the saddest day for all Malaysians."

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 – Australian miner Lynas Corp has been granted a temporary operating licence (TOL) for its controversial RM2.5 billion rare earth plant in Kuantan despite nearly a year of sustained public protests.

Biggest Rare Earth Controversial Project has given been licence to operate in Malaysia

Hope & Despair

Article by my good friend, Ann Chin

Despair for the poor girl, Isabella and all those who think we deprive the orang utans of their livelihood.
Hope for the millions of labourers and small holders who depend on oil palm for their livelihood. 
Sadness for Malaysians to see the people in power bulldozing through our forest indiscriminately to enrich themselves without social responsibilities.

In the final analysis:
This world is not just about making money.
It is about creating wealth so that we can live in harmony with nature.

Despite all of this, this world is still a beautiful place
Love conquers all
Love your ones that are still around
Appreciate the nature surrounding you
Feel the breeze,wind, snow and rain wherever you are

"Do not be afraid to die but be very afraid your life has not begun" 

Lynas

“Wake up Lynas”

The world is watching

Millions of eyes are staring in disbelief

People are crying

The world is already polluted as it is

Please stop using our land as a dumping ground

Where is your conscience?

Where is your social responsibility?

Are the billions you are going to make

Worth the environment/LIVES of people you are going to destroy

This world is not just about making money

It is about generating wealth so that we can live

In harmony with nature, with one another

Australia rejected your Rare Earth operation

Australians disapproved of your inhuman actions

Malaysia accepted your plant here

BUT Malaysians reject and detest your inhuman acts

What a tragedy that so many people must die before you wake up.

The first Born...life what a miracle

Tangled up in Blue

Sad eyes Lady

A banker for 28 yrs shared his lesson learned while working in the BANK.

 The greatest lesson I learned during my working life in the Bank

There was one vivid incident which kept flashing back to me last few months. It happened 35 years ago. I was studying in the University of Auckland, New Zealand. One day, I skipped classes and decided to go for a movie in the city. The street was crowded.  As I was crossing the street at the traffic light, I heard a loud scream. Yaaaah!  Beside me, a guy was stabbed from behind by a crazy guy for no apparent reason. Blood kept oozing out from his back. The next day, I saw in the front page of the local news paper.  Two big words - WHY ME?

Fast forward to now, after 35 years, I often asked myself. What happened to this poor guy? Is he still paralyzed sitting on his wheel chair? How does he feel? Is he still angry, feeling resentful and revengeful? Or has he forgiven the crazy man and accept this as just another event in his life? What about the crazy man? Does he feel remorseful for his action? Asking himself -" Is this a dagger I see in front of me or is it my own imagination"

In life, as in work, all of us have been stabbed from behind, not physically maybe, but emotionally.

In life, some of us maybe strike down with cancer, stroke, car accident, divorce etc. Do we ask the same question - Why me?  In work, you may be transferred, demoted and feel that you have been deprived of your rights by some crazy guys or whatever. I have stopped asking the "why me" question  and learned to accept whatever happened as one of those events in my life. I have learned the power of acceptance.
