給阿嬤的情書 震撼的潮州电影 Excellent Teochew Movie
这是第一部电影让我有家的感觉。在家我也用潮州话和华语。身为潮州揭阳和潮阳人，我当然看了潮州原语。我原以为我不会哭。没想到看了不知不觉的泪流满面。想到我的外公，爷爷和祖先所受的委屈和家人分隔两地，就让我感慨万分。
这是一部好的作品。一定要去看！ 潮州人,家已人。
Finally watched this excellent touching Teochew movie, Dear You. As a Teochew (潮州揭阳和潮阳）， I chose the original Teochew movie and it made me feel at home as I normally converse a mixture of Teochew and Mandarin at home. My late great-grandmother and grandparents conversed to me in Teochew.
This is definitely a great production. A touching story of how Teochews helped fellow Teochews in a foreign land. It reminds me of my late grandfathers who left China in the 1940s when they were young. They also sent money and letters to their families in China and I couldn't' help but got teary whenever I think of their suffering. The pain of separation from their families back home and they worked so hard to support their big families in Singapore too.
This is an amazing movie. Faster go and watch. Teochew Nan Gaginan.
Singapore Garden Festival 2026
I finally visited Singapore Garden Festival at Gardens by the Bay yesterday! Wow, there are so many impressive exhibition! I arrived at Gardens by the Bay at around 10 am plus in the morning and left at about 8.45 pm. I didn't see Planters Market as it was too late.
Jointly organised by Singapore National Parks and Gardens by the Bay, I think they have done a great job in showcasing the best tropical landscape design and horticulture and floral display to the world in this 10th edition of the Singapore Garden Festival.
You can still catch Singapore Gardens Festival at Singapore by the Bay till 12 July 2026, this coming Sunday.

Dazu Rock Carvings And LV
If not for the recent Molly Tea and LV copyright case in China, I didn’t know the logo from LV is the same as the decoration (different orientation) in a Buddhism rock wall craving （大足石刻 ）in China built during the Tang dynasty about 1400 years ago.
LV赢了官司，输了民心。

Remembering Beyond Wong Ka Kui
33 years ago on this day, I was devastated that Wong Ka Kiu passed on. Sadly Beyond slowly disbanded after he passed on. A talented composer and singer, his music lives on.

Enjoy Life
Heaven is kinda nice to me. I should just enjoy early retirement and focus on my hobbies like drawing and painting. Occasionally go see flowers and travel. I have many watercolour papers and paint. I should remind myself to stop buying and just paint. 
Painted the cosmo flowers from learning from YouTube.

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, Former President of the Republic of Kalmykia on Aliens
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, former President of the Republic of Kalmykia and President of the World Chess Federation shares with the public of an alleged alien encounter in 1997. President Trump also talk about people coming from space with Joe Rogan. Some of you might think they are bonkers. Listen to what they shared about the alien message on humans on planet earth. I do agreed. Humans are not ready to travel out of space in speed of light. They might bomb other planets with nuclear weapons. After nuclear bombs were dropped, it shook the universe. All planets are relative in distance and it might affect space time travel. More UFO sightings were reported in USA after nuclear bombs were detonated.
We are living in interesting time. The age of full disclosure is coming soon.

人间惊鸿宴
我喜欢这首歌曲，旋律带着古色古香的唐代韵味，歌词又充满诗意。享受这音乐吧。
I like this Chinese song as the melody has this ancient Chinese Tang dynasty feel and the poetic lyrics. Enjoy the music.
人间惊鸿宴
风翩翩 云芊芊
青山绿水间
子曰天上一天
地上 过一年
摘星月 赏九阙
游过尘世间
我绘不尽
秀丽江山无边
我赴人间惊鸿宴
为睹盛世颜
度岁岁年年
逍遥好似散仙
沧海桑田
胜诗篇
清风扣心弦
花开 繁华正少年
我赴人间惊鸿宴
为睹盛世颜
任岁月变迁
依旧笑对苍颜
花好月圆
风吹绵
美景人留恋
叹世间浮华无边
风翩翩 云芊芊
青山绿水间
子曰天上一天
地上过一年
摘星月 赏九阙
游过尘世间
我绘不尽
秀丽江山无边
我赴人间惊鸿宴
为睹盛世颜
度岁岁年年
逍遥好似散仙
沧海桑田
胜诗篇
清风扣心弦
花开 繁华正少年
我赴人间惊鸿宴
为睹盛世颜
度岁岁年年
逍遥好似散仙
沧海桑田
胜诗篇
清风扣心弦
花开 繁华正少年
我赴人间惊鸿宴
为睹盛世颜
任岁月变迁
依旧笑对苍颜

Disclosure Day
Just watched the movie Disclosure Day by Steven Spielberg. Coincidentally, the time it screened the movie coincided with the United States of America's Department of War release of the third set of UFO/UAP files on 12 June 2026 as shown here.
More than 2500 years ago, Buddha 佛 already said that the universe is vast （大千世界， 人外有人，天外有天）. Earth is just like a grain of sand on the vast universe. He also shared that the asuras and heavenly beings had wars too even though they are from higher realms. That's why beings in the six realms are still in samsara as there are still greed, craving and ignorance.
Spoiler alert! Of course this Disclosure Day is a movie and focused on the two protagonists who were abducted. However based on records, USA had more than thousand people abducted by extraterrestrial beings like Barney and Betty case in 1961. Maybe most extraterrestrials are benevolent but there are some who did terrible experiments on humans and some lied to USA government.
In the movie, there are two factions. One who want to continue to keep UFO/UAP secret whereas the other group want the truth to be released. I think Steven Spielberg already gave a hint on how the scientists who went missing or so called "hurt themselves". Some of the scientists already told their friend that they will never hurt themselves. Perhaps someone from military is using psychic to control the scientists as shown in the movie when Noah used a special tool and mind to control and manipulate the young former nun to reveal the whereabouts of of the male protagonist and hurt him. CIA had secret program with remote viewers who can access information with their mind or consciousness.
Towards the end of the last 30 minutes of the movie, it showed footage of Richard Nixon and his bestie Jackie Gleason. They were said to be seeing recovered bodies of extraterrestrials and also reproduced footage of recovery crafts from Roswell in 1947 and experiment conducted on extraterrestrials. I think they are showing these now to desensitise population and maybe later batch of information by USA might reveal these information.
Empathy is important. Treat others like how you want to be treated. If you don't like them, don't hurt them. Just walk away. You cannot use psychic power to hurt others. If you intentionally hurt others, one day you are going to experience the same impact that you done to hurt others so you can understand and experience how others felt on the impact of your action. If you never see or experience what others experienced, don't dismiss them as delusion. Seek to understand. Karma (Cause and Effect) is the law of the universe and is real. 因果真实不虚。南无阿弥陀佛
Time for the truth to be released.

《琵琶行》白居易
我很喜欢这首歌。分享给大家。这首歌词是唐代诗人白居易写的。I love this song melody and the lyrics was written by the famous Tang dynasty poet Bai Juyi. Hope you like this song too.
浔阳江头夜送客16，枫叶荻花秋瑟瑟17。
主人下马客在船18，举酒欲饮无管弦。
醉不成欢惨将别，别时茫茫江浸月。
忽闻水上琵琶声，主人忘归客不发。
寻声暗问弹者谁？琵琶声停欲语迟。
移船相近邀相见，添酒回灯重开宴19。
千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面。
转轴拨弦三两声，未成曲调先有情。
弦弦掩抑声声思20，似诉平生不得志21。
低眉信手续续弹22，说尽心中无限事。
轻拢慢捻抹复挑23，初为霓裳后六幺24。
大弦嘈嘈如急雨25，小弦切切如私语26。
嘈嘈切切错杂弹，大珠小珠落玉盘。
间关莺语花底滑27，幽咽泉流冰下难28。
冰泉冷涩弦凝绝29，凝绝不通声暂歇。
别有幽愁暗恨生30，此时无声胜有声。
银瓶乍破水浆迸31，铁骑突出刀枪鸣32。
曲终收拨当心画33，四弦一声如裂帛34。
东船西舫悄无言35，唯见江心秋月白36。
沉吟放拨插弦中，整顿衣裳起敛容37。
自言本是京城女，家在虾蟆陵下住38。
十三学得琵琶成，名属教坊第一部39。
曲罢曾教善才服，妆成每被秋娘妒40。
五陵年少争缠头41，一曲红绡不知数42。
钿头银篦击节碎43，血色罗裙翻酒污。
今年欢笑复明年，秋月春风等闲度44。
弟走从军阿姨死，暮去朝来颜色故45。
门前冷落鞍马稀，老大嫁作商人妇46。
商人重利轻别离，前月浮梁买茶去47。
去来江口守空船48，绕船月明江水寒。
夜深忽梦少年事，梦啼妆泪红阑干49。
我闻琵琶已叹息，又闻此语重唧唧50。
同是天涯沦落人，相逢何必曾相识！
我从去年辞帝京51，谪居卧病浔阳城。
浔阳地僻无音乐52，终岁不闻丝竹声53。
住近湓江地低湿，黄芦苦竹绕宅生。
其间旦暮闻何物54？杜鹃啼血猿哀鸣。
春江花朝秋月夜，往往取酒还独倾。
岂无山歌与村笛？呕哑嘲哳难为听55。
今夜闻君琵琶语56，如听仙乐耳暂明57。
莫辞更坐弹一曲，为君翻作琵琶行58。
感我此言良久立，却坐促弦弦转急59。
凄凄不似向前声60，满座重闻皆掩泣61。
座中泣下谁最多？江州司马青衫湿62。 [1]
From Baidu
《琵琶行》是唐代诗人白居易在元和十一年（即公元816年）秋季创作的长篇叙事诗。此诗通过对歌妓琵琶女高超弹奏技艺和不幸人生经历的描述，揭露了封建社会官僚腐败、民生凋敝、人才埋没等不合理现象，表达了诗人对琵琶女的深切同情，也抒发了诗人对自己无辜被贬的愤懑之情。全诗结构严谨，错落有致，情节曲折，波澜起伏；叙事与抒情紧密结合，塑造出完整鲜明的人物形象；语言流转匀称，优美和谐，特别是描绘琵琶的演奏，比喻贴切，化虚为实，呈现出鲜明的音乐形象。
《琵琶行》以其多样化的艺术手法、精确传神的用语，以及声韵与内在情感的和谐统一，生动地描绘了琵琶的悦耳之音、乐曲的起伏跌宕，以及演奏者丰富的情感流转，因而被赞誉为“音乐诗中的千古绝唱”。这篇诗也引领叙事诗创作攀至新巅峰。

Lego Botanicals at Singapore Jewel Airport Canopy Park 新加坡星耀星空花园和乐高植物
From 26 May 2026 till 21 July 2026, visit Canopy Park at Jewel Airport to see beautiful plants like ficus trees, water lilies, hydrangeas, marigold and the largest display of LEGO botanicals in the world best airport at Jewel in Singapore.
I'm impressed by the LEGO designers' ingenuity. I didn't understand why others want to spend on LEGO.

Really need to control myself and be selective on the plants so as not to buy so many sets as space is quite limited.
Visit Blooming Flowers, Arts and Travel blog here for more information and post on flowers and plants.
