A REPLY TO A CONCERN READER , AUSSIEBIZ WHO'S LIKE A BROTHER NOW......

YES...aussieb...life is REALLY going on for me...after my garden was bulldozed, i was totally down and almost out. that's where i saw this site and lst time, i posted here. i got very encouraging words from someone called AHBENGSONG and a few others...who is now rarely heard...
i was very apprehensive. i wasn't young anymore. the saving was like almost approaching "empty". there was cloudiness and imminent darkness right ahead of me....my confidence was rock bottomed....
then i saw the buddhist beads a nun gave me during my 2nd trip to hk which i took a ferry to TAI YEE SHAN IN LANTAU island. took a bus up poh lian see...and there she was this kindly friendly nun. my lst encounter with her...we talked. she belanja me tea..talked and then suddenly she removed her beads and gave it to me....
me being a goon..take lor and thanked her. when i returned, i never really bothered about the strings of ebony colored beads. i just hanged somewhere.
then by affinity, a temple in balestier called me up to remove a rogue mango tree in their compound which was overgrown and making the temple very YIN....so i brought in my artillery....my group of small army of indians and bangalas i borrowed from my indian chief contractor. we rid the tree way through the night and ended at about 8pm+...
then the da si shiong of the temple invited me over during the weekend to buddhist chant. and i tot what the heck! free what go see lor...so i just pick up my ignored buddhist beads the nun gave me and blur blur went to the temple.
when the jokers there saw my beads, they thought i very deep cos the beads i was holding was ebony colored, theirs was a very pale whitish one.
da shi shiong asked me if i had chant like eons. i was surprised and blur when he asked me so. i told i roughly only knew a bit to chant the prajnaparamita heart sutra only. then he explained to me that by the appearance and color of the beads i was holding, it must came from some one who had chanted all his life to turn the pale colored beads to ebony dark. i was lagi blur...i revealed to him that the beads was given by a nun in lantau island...and then he told me i got affinity with buddhism...and so...the predomination keeps appearing hence thus in my dreams...i was a monk in yellow robe...my god...how to siam...huh...like in those movies u know...the dreams keep appearing....and i see myself a monk in yellow robe. mati lah, leetahsar...surely i hope i m not going to get it one day...but so be it...if it does come, it come..i will just accept it. but for now, i siam...i haven't enjoyed my retired life enough to forsake everything and go botak and be monk...so there u r. the uncanniness of my life.funny and weird. i also sometime feel very puzzled.
people study, go army. get a job. find a gf. patho. marries. produces babies. upgrade to grams...then mati. me...everything is totally far out and different from the average sinkie. funny hor?
so i called myself, leetahsar...the gooniest of the goons....hahaha;9) and stiking lotteries is my hobby now...hahahaha
