The Singapore Story

The Lion Sleeps Tonight
It was a tune singing in my heart early in the morning, and it sings like this “Somewhere over the rainbow……”
Isaac was sound asleep on my left arm. I could not move. How I wanted to walk to the window to see the bird(s) singing. It was such a nice tune…
Clara came to my room. She told me about the bird singing outside the window. She went to see. It was a myna at the window outside the ‘study room‘. She walked a few times to the window and reported what she saw. The last time she went, she said that the myna ‘stared’ at her and she at the myna. How I wish I could get up and see the myna myself. I heard the loud sound of the myna singing and I do not know how many myna are there, until she told me. Cannot imagine ONE myna alone can make sound a ‘loud’ sound, and sing so beautifully… It is so special with 5-syllable sound, so miraculous…
The sound of the bird was the same sound as the day when I wrote about Saint Anthony. Yesterday, it was 7 birds (pigeons) that form the shape of the T-cross on the grass at Woodlands — the Saint Anthony Cross (Tau Cross)…
Yesterday was such ‘a special day‘… Clara came home and she was happy too. She wanted me to guess what the school had given her. To my surprise, it was Singapore FLAG! WOW, this is the first time I had a piece of Singapore Flag, a GIFT, my precious piece of gift.
I don’t know what is the block of the flat, but it was this bird that captivated me. A pigeon perching on the lamp post. A banner with the words of “Live our dreams, Fly our flag”… I was walking along this road, with the dream I had in my mind… it was a ‘dream of reality’… Below is a close-up of the pigeon above the lamp…
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ~Psalm 119:105
God’s Word, like a lamp, illuminates. It helps us discern spiritual danger so we can avoid it, and it points us in the right direction to take our lives. It lights the path we take through life.
Across the road, beside the bus stop, I saw this advertisement below:
