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
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. Now I want to buy Lego Botanicals as I find it amazing the Lego designers can create organic forms with these rigid materials. Really need to control myself and be selective on the plants so as not to buy so many sets as space is quite limited.

I like these rocking plants. Still thinking whether to buy them.
Promotion ends on 21 July 2026. Still have a month to think whether to buy the rocking plant and plum blossom. I brought the tiny plants and the lotus flowers.
I got this free lego set after completing the mission card. Got toucan to complement my plants.
Completed mission card.
I brought the lotus botanical to make during Vesak Day.
As a third generation Teochew Chinese Singaporean, I'm intrigued by the very popular Teochew movie in China. Both my grandfathers and ancestors came from China Chaozhou 潮州. I plan to visit Chaozhou soon and visit my ancestral hometown particularly in Chaozhou.
I feel a sense of familiarity with the movie as I grew up speaking Teochew and Mandarin at home. My maternal grandfather used to write letter and sent money back to his family in China. As a Teochew nan, I plan to watch this movie to support gagi nan! I do hope the movie is in original Teochew dialect. I understand about 70% of the movie Teochew dialogue. There is slight pronunciation in Teochew in different regions like Chaoyang person sounds like singing when speaking and is different from Jieyang.
Lianhe Zaobao needs to be mindful of the articles it published. I do not agree that this movie is about 统战. It's about not forgetting your culture and heritage.
Happy Vesak Day to all Buddhists! Today is a sacred day, commemorating SakyamuniBuddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana. As a Buddhist, I try to follow Buddha's teaching. Buddha taught us to be compassionate to all sentient beings. I try to eat more vegetarian food and meditate. Thank you Buddha for your selfless teaching for 45 years. Amitofo. 阿弥陀佛
Did you know that there is a Bodhi tree aka the sacred fig at Singapore Jewel airport? It is located at level 5, Canopy Garden. Buddha was enlightened under the Bodhi tree. 祝所有佛教徒佛诞节快乐！今日是釋迦牟尼 佛陀诞辰、悟道与涅槃的神圣纪念日。身为佛教徒，我谨遵佛陀教诲。佛陀教导我们对一切众生心怀慈悲。感谢佛陀四十五年无私传法，我心怀感激。阿弥陀佛。
Today is the last day of Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. I like this year theme as I got to learn from Dutch arts even though they are replicas and explore beautiful tulips.
I painted pink tulips in watercolour learnt from video.

AI is really powerful, Now AI can create short video. This AI generated video of Persian Cat and the White Eagle inspired from the Chinese wuxia and current Iran war. Anyway may this war end soon and peace reign.
This Tuesday, I met my friend for lunch at Asia's first Chick-a-fil outlet at Singapore Bugis+. My friend who is vegetarian had the Mac & cheese and salad. I opted for the Deluxe sandwich meal which comes with waffle fries and drink, and large Mac and Cheese. I enjoyed the meal and will come back for the Mac and cheese and deluxe sandwich with fresh tomato and chicken.
We reached at 11 am so luckily we managed to order immediately. Do take note that there be long queue around 12pm.
I finally explored my friend's home in Johor Bahru, Singapore's neighbour. Special thanks to my kind friend who spent the whole day showing me around Johor for delicious food and shopping last weekend (14 March 2026). I also had the opportunity to explore her big cluster 3-storey house where there are 7 bedrooms and 6 toilets in her Johor home!
