【德多少,就得多少】
YOUR VIRTUES DETERMINE HOW MUCH YOU GET
最近家附近有建築工地,噪音多了。
客人聽我的聲音不會有問題,因為我的耳機有麥克風,但如果他們不戴有麥克風的耳機,我聽他們的聲音會比較辛苦。
幾天前,為一位年輕的保險經紀通過Zoom批八字。
他進入Zoom會議室後,呆看著我。
我微笑看著他,故意不出聲,觀察著他。
幾秒後,他才粗魯的說:「哈囉?!」
奇怪了,貴為一個保險經紀,見人應該無數,打招呼的方式,怎能這麼粗俗?我阿姨阿伯級的客人,雖不常用Zoom,都比他懂禮貌。
我馬上回:「X先生,您好。您進來會議室,怎麼打招呼這麼粗俗?」
「我一向來都是這樣先哈囉,有聲音我才正式打招呼。」
「我倒是從來不會這樣。」
其實,這是個人修養的問題。
「你沒有讀我發給你的貼文嗎?為何你視訊沒有戴耳機?」
「我一向來Zoom都是這樣,沒有戴耳機。我以為你只是建議而已,不一定要戴。」
「我在貼文裡寫關於戴耳機的理由,你覺得不成立嗎?」
他想了幾秒,回:「是成立的。」
「我們都是提供服務的人。客人找我們,需要三大元素。第一個,就是同理心。你沒有同理心,難怪你說你的客人寧願聽別人說,也不信你說。」
「如果你要我戴,我現在就戴。」
他講完後,依然坐在那裡看著我,一動也不動。
後來,我說了幾句,他肯戴上耳機後,藍牙耳機也並沒操作好。
等了我一個月,這麼簡單的事情都不願事先做好。
看著他理直氣壯的模樣,頓時覺得他很可憐。
貴人坐在他面前,他說的一大堆話,都是以「自我」為出發點,完全不懂得「以和為貴」的道理。這不就是親手把貴人轟出門嗎?
「你這樣講話,就算講贏了,你真的贏了嗎?」
換成我是他的客人,我絕不會向他買保險,因為很明顯這不是一位真心為別人著想的保險經紀人。
那天,雖為他看八字,該說的我都有說,但我依然保留許多。
因為他缺德。
許多人把「德」看得很輕,覺得沒做壞事就是好人。事實上,不按照別人合理的要求做事,蓄意破壞規則,只顧自己,也是沒有德行可言。
有些人會吐槽,哎呀你學佛的人,要慈悲,何必跟他計較?不要著相!
我不是在意氣用事。
沒有智慧的慈悲,會害死人的。
祖師有訓 - 看命本來就是依客人的福德多寡,而賜福。品行不端的人,承受不起更多的福報,反而會遭反噬。再說了,對貴人都不好的人,對沒有利用價值的人就會更善良嗎?
不是捐錢的,就一定是好人,什麼事情都是要用心才算。
每個人都想要與眾不同,可是如果你的所作所為和一般人一樣,沒有比他們做得更好,那你的命格只配拿得起一般的命運。
不要迷信,以為什麼都是人家為難你,就跑去求神拜佛要打小人。我們命運裡的每一個障礙,每一粒石頭,都是自己放進去的。
你不改,障礙物就不會移。
在這裡聲明:沒有麥克風耳機的Zoom客人,我一概會取消諮詢,進行退款,沒得商量,沒得瞎掰。
能突然放假,真是太過癮了!
——————————————————
Recently, a construction site sprouted up beside my place, creating a lot of noise every day.
Zoom clients wouldn’t have a problem hearing me, but if they do not have a earpiece with a mic, I would have a problem hearing them.
Few days ago, I did a Bazi analysis for a young Insurance Agent via Zoom.
After he entered my Zoom meeting room, he looked at me blankly.
I smiled at him, deliberately staying quiet, and observed him.
Few seconds later, he said bluntly, “Hello?!”
How strange that an insurance agent, who probably have met tons of people, would greet in such an abrupt manner. My middle-aged clients, who rarely use Zoom, have better etiquette than him.
I replied instantly, “Hi, Mr X. Why is your greeting so crude, upon entering this meeting room?”
“I always say hello like this and wait to hear a reply, before I greet officially.”
“I never do that.”
Actually, this demonstrates the refinement of a person.
“Did you not read the post I sent you? Why are you not wearing a earpiece?”
“All along, I do Zooms in this manner without a earpiece. I thought it’s just a suggestion from you and it was not mandatory.”
“I wrote about the reason for clients to wear a earpiece. Do you find it invalid?”
He pondered for a few seconds and replied, “It’s valid.”
“We are both service providers. Clients look for us based on three main qualities. The first being the quality of empathy. You lack empathy and it’s no wonder you say your clients rather listen to others and not trust you as much.”
“If you want me to wear, then I will wear it now”
And he sat there looking at me, not moving an inch.
When he finally put on his ear pods, they did not operate well either.
It’s peculiar how despite a month of waiting for me, he was slow to get this simple thing done right.
Seeing how “self-assured” he was, for a brief moment, I find his behaviour pitiful.
His benefactor was sitting right in front of him, yet his words remained self-serving, totally oblivious to what harmony is about. Wasn’t this sending your benefactor straight out of the door?
“Even if you gain an upper hand talking like this, have you really won?
I would never buy insurance from such an agent, as obviously he was not the considerate kind.
I still read his Bazi that day, said what I should but there were also a lot I did not reveal.
Because he is lacking in virtues.
Many people think lightly of virtues. They assumed that if they do no evil deed, they are virtuous humans. Fact is, if you do not follow the reasonable requirements of other people, deliberately breaking the rules for your own gain, you have no virtue to speak of.
Some naysayers will tell me, but hey you are a practicing Buddhist, so you should exercise your compassion and not be bothered with his behaviour! Don’t get attached to external form!
This isn’t about me.
Compassion without wisdom brings more harm than good.
Since ancient times, it is a rule of thumb that we practitioners allocate good fortune to clients, based on their conduct and luck.
A person with undesirable conduct is unable to bear greater fortune, or there will be adverse consequences. Moreover, if a person is unkind to his benefactor, it is very unlikely that he will be kinder to another person with no value to him.
You can’t define a person as a good man, just because he is willing to donate money. We got to look at how he uses his heart.
Everybody wants to be special and different from others. But if what you are doing is the same as other people, nowhere better than them, then you can only carry a mediocre Destiny.
Don’t be superstitious to think that everybody is out to get you, and you go running to the temples or Feng Shui masters to chase away the villains.
Every obstacle in our destiny, every little stone that trips us, is placed in our lives by no other person but ourselves.
If you do not change, the obstacle isn’t going to budge either.
And here’s an official note: For any Zoom client that does not wear a earpiece with a microphone, I will cancel the consultation and give you a refund.
Having off days out of the blue are so much more fun!

Today was the first day of PSLE.
I thought I did quite a good job by waking the big girl up, making her French Toast, braiding her hair and writing her a letter of encouragement - with her favourite Sumikko Gurashi design - to wish her all the best.
But this girl, she touches me in ways I never expect and brings joy through the little things she does. Not only does she make life happier for me, she is also my motivation to be a better, braver and stronger mum.
This afternoon, after enduring an over 4-hour wait in school due to a technical glitch during her oral exam and only having a bun and biscuit between 7am to 230pm, she came back home on her own, hungry but not whiny. I served her a big bowl of herbal chicken soup with mee sua which she ate heartily before taking a rest.
In the evening, she helped me to take care of the baby and after dinner, we watched a couple of hours of TV to relax, including AGT and Just for Laughs Gags, because I do think it's more important for her to feel happy than stressed at this point.
Before she went to bed, she wrote this sweet thank you letter for me which I totally didn't see coming and it totally melted my heart. Ironically, it's day 1 of her major exam yet she cheered and lifted me up more than what I did for her. Awwww. And I think I needed this.
Love you so much, my dear Angel. No matter what happens, you know I will always, always be proud of you. Thank you for being you.
All the best to those who are taking their PSLE too! ❤
P.S. She also dropped her molar, which is her 18th tooth, tonight too. Yup, only two more milk teeth to go and her last few visits from Tooth Fairy. This girl is growing up so fast and it's a bittersweet feeling but I am embracing every moment of seeing her mature into a fine young lady.

Today, I’m gonna share a very horribly sad story…please take note that this is a true story! 😢
Once upon a day, my sister Dr Auntie had a phone call from her colleague at work. They started their conversation talking about you know, what else if not the brilliant British weather. And then the topic led to our new house #TheOldForgeCottage 🏡 And all of a sudden…she said something so so so so unbelievably shocking‼️
She said “I have a nephew The Omar Mukhtar who is turning 15 soon…and he is my BEST FRIEND⁉️”😱
Best friend? Best friend?? For real??? What about me then?? If he is her best friend then what happened to our best-bester-bestest-friendship? 💔
…and just like that, I am officially no longer her best friend! 😭😭
The end…ok done! I hope that you are all entertained reading my real life sob story. Thank you for sparing your time to read my story. Hopefully you don’t regret spending a few minutes of your precious time here. I think I will now write a book and publish it…what do you think? 😜🤪
Bored,
Mrs Mom
#wisemomsays
p/s: I wrote this silly story while sitting next to my dear sister @drauntie.uk patiently waiting for her working on her laptop while Mr Dad was busy monitoring the work in progress in our kitchen…
Notes: That sweetie smiley princess on the right is my darling sister @drauntie.uk and that sour pouty patootie on the left is none other than my humble self!

【無聲的嘆息 The Silent Sigh】I wrote this song about 18 months ago, 4 months after my breakup, never had the chance to post it because I was practicing my singing part, never nailed it so bailed it.
For those of you who don't know me well, including my close ones. I have been through 7 relationships, which means I fell in love 7 times. Every time I go through a breakup I repost this "People come and go, most of them just walk by. Life moves on. But some day I wish just one will stop by. Then, life goes on."
I don't stop. I don't stop working, I don't stop learning, I don't stop loving. I will always love hard and always harder. Love myself, love my family, friends. Love everyone, love those whom do not feel, love those who temp me to fall the most. For love has no limit, and knows no boundaries.
I am who I am.
Thank you for everyone who was a part of this relationship, may grace fall upon you like it has to me.
【無聲的嘆息 The Silent Sigh】Lyrics
you said you love me,
You said you care,
Seeing your text makes me feel you are near.
就像你的呼吸 輕踩踏旋律 此時此刻
溫柔的在我心裡 烙印下你的每刻
Happy moments is all I remember.
I mean forever, Almost got there.
Time flies, and there goes two years.
Told me to move to Paris,
I said I was scared.
I have no money
I'm not sure
But you said we can share.
No more fear
而我信了
還有彼此陪著
(C)
When the sky is blue
When the street reflects the moon
It is so beautiful
卻少了些什麼
When the sky is blue
When the street reflects the moon
It is so beautiful
還有什麼好在乎
I pray that love would come true.
-V2-
June 23rd,
We said goodbye at the airport,
you left with tears.
Hoping we would meet again in a different air.
I said don't worry, I'll be there.
我信守諾言來到巴黎
獨自一人遭受眾人質疑
我從不懷疑自己
雖然預想到了
但一切向我衝來時
我還是怕了
You are no longer there
Disappeared
And I can't find you anywhere
那並不是你的錯
但我還抱著希望祈求過
I'm stressed out, I'm pulling out my hair.
Never thought that would be the last time we felt for each other.
Please God, tell me Why life is so unfair,
Maybe I was just the missing puzzle of why you fear.
-RnB-
It's been a while,
You know?
I still miss you
I miss your ironic smile
I miss the way you look at me acorss the aisle
In your eyes 愛存在
You know?
I still think of you,
I don't want to but I just do,
I think of you when I'm alone,
when I'm walking to school,
before I close my eyes to snooze.
You know?
沒有你的巴黎
少了點浪漫氣息
那些一起的憧憬
暫時停留在心底
I never thought I would lose.
Lose my sleep, my mood
But never you...

[ 10年感情的道别 | Goodbye My 10 Years Relationship ]
10年真的不短,很遗憾无法一起走到最后。
求婚了,却早已错过应该发生的时间点。
面对瓶颈考验的爱情在挽救期中感性被理性打败了,写下句号。
我们分了。我们都很不舍,但确实分了。
很抱歉,令所有期待的家人朋友失望了。
这10年里她对我很好,无可挑剔;而我做不好的我全都承认,是我的理所当然及舒适心态导致了今天的所有,我诚心道歉。
对于一直关心我俩的亲朋好友,感恩过去所有的祝福,也谢谢这些年的见证。
对于曾煽动我们分手的朋友们,抱歉拖了那么久,往后不需煽动了。
我特别要感谢彼此的家人、爱我们的家人们。这些年让大家心中累计的担忧及不满实在不应该,让大家操心了,诚恳地鞠躬致歉。谢谢这些年的爱与包容,打从心里的感恩,谢谢。
在这里,至这位10年前为我化妆而邂逅的,10年来风雨不改以我为先的,让我在爱情里一夜长大的她 – Mey ,谢谢你一切付出、包容、体谅及信任,完整了我生活许多的缺失区块,也为我生命彩出了鲜艳的色彩。谢谢你总无条件地支持我每个决定,即使以世界为敌你还是站在我身旁。谢谢你无限的精神鼓励,让我即使在烂透的状态下也努力撑过去,因为我知道至少还有你这位铁粉的守候。万语千言在心中说不尽,我想你知道的。谢谢你,真心真心地谢谢你。正如我十年前为你写的歌 – “美丽意外“里的歌词,至今,我仍觉得遇见你是个美丽的意外,真的。
容我忍泪再次公开说,Mey, 我爱你。
面对10年感情的结束,难过是肯定的。
即使平时爱笑的我们,也为这次的句号流了好多公升的泪。但我们答应彼此会带着所有开心的记忆把对方放在心中一个特别的位置。换了身份,没了昵称,不管未来缘分如何,我们都会是彼此继续珍惜的那位。
最后,公开这首十年前写给她的歌,也是十年后我重新录制十周年版本向她求婚的作品。MV里记录了过去十年的精选画面,婚没求得成,但我们都认为这首歌是纪念这10年的最初;10年的最终,最佳的礼物,也要谢谢歌曲的幕后团队 :佳旺 (金马旺) 的 编曲 / 制作 / 录音 /配唱 ,沁嘉 的 合音编写 / 合音 , 文浩 的混音。他们是少数知道我求婚计划也期待着好消息的朋友。。。可惜让你们失望了,谢谢你们的一切付出与耐心,我都真心感激。
爱情其实只有你和我,但考虑到彼此有太多共同朋友,为了避免揣测还是决定做个交代。谢谢大家这十年的祝福。当你看到这贴文时我俩的脸书感情状态应该已经更新。
是很意外,连我俩都为这样的今天感到意外,如果是注定意外,至少让它是个 [美丽意外],好吗?
爱要及时,记得好好珍惜依然在你身边的那位,衷心祝福大家。
缘起缘灭感恩一切,合十。
10 years, regret that we couldn’t make it till the end.
I proposed, but had missed the right timing to do it right.
After went through the consideration period, rational beat sentimental, it ended.
Yes, we broke up. It’s really hard to accept, but yes, we broke up.
Truly regret to all friends and families’ members who had expectation on us.For the past 10 years, she’s perfect. For all the wrong which I made, I’ll take all the blame. I’m truly sorry, for the relationship which I care so much.
To all friends who care about both of us throughout these 10 years, thanks for witnessing us.
To those who didn’t expect good ending, sorry for the long waiting.
I would like to specially thank both of our family’s members. I can understand all the worries and dissatisfactions throughout the years. Really shouldn’t allow those to happen. I Sincerely apologize. Sorry.
Hereby, I would like to thank her, the girl I crushed into when she did make up for me 10 years ago, the girl who always put me as priority for the past 10 years, the girl who used 10 years’ time to grew me up in the world of love – Mey , Thank you for everything, you completed a lot of my missing part in life and had brighten up my days with different colours. Thanks for always standing by my side although when the world disagree on me. Thanks for your bottomless mental support which let me went through lots of down time as I always know there’ll at least be a super fans forever, it’s you. As of now, I still feel like knowing you is 1 of the most beautiful accident in life, and you able to calmed me down whenever and wherever you were around. It’s more than words, I’m sure you knew it, thank you so much, sincerely.
Allow me to hold my tears and say this 1 more time openly, Mey, I love you, as always.
10 years long run coming to an end, for sure it’s really hurt and sad.
But we’ll promise to bring along all happy memories and place each other at a special point in our heart. You will always be a person that I care about.
Lastly, sharing out the song I wrote for her 10 years ago, and it’s being re-produced again into a 10th year anniversary version for my proposal purpose. The MV are made by all key moments we been through together. Although my proposal failed, but we do think it’s a best way to conclude and remember those 10 years, from the beginning to the end. Thanks to the song production team : Keon Chia (Golden Horse Award Winner 2020) for Music Arrangement, Produce, Recording, Vocal Guide. Thanks to Isabell Jia Jia for the background Vocal & Background Vocal Arrangement. Thanks to Haw Vee for the Mixing. They were the few who knew my proposal plan and awaiting the good news …. However, sorry to let you all down. Thanks to all the effort, it’s my honor to have you guys in this important journey and I deeply appreciate it in heart.
Love actually is just you & me, but we decided to explain about this to avoid any assumptions as we got too many mutual friends. Thanks to all lovely wishes for the past 10 years. When you see this post, I believe our relationship status on FB had changed.
Yes it’s really an accident to our relationship, even to ourselves. If it’s meant to be an accident, at least let it be a “Beautiful Accident”.
Always express your LOVE before too late and appreciate he/her who still together with you. Best wishes to everyone.
With Love, Sorry and Thanks.

Lyrics: Sarah Koay
Chorus 1
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 1
Hey boy, I know what’s going on in your mind
You chased your dreams and now you’re saying good bye
What about the things you did and made you shine?
But now you’re packing your bags at half past nine
Lose or win, you gotta give it time
There are no straight roads that lead you to the mine
They are windy, curvy, like graphs of cosine
Coz Santa gives a ride, not to the naughty but the nice
There’ll be some rough times when you think it, you regret it
All the stars that shine on screen, they fake it till they make it
The winners up there, they work it till they slay it
Work my bod real hard coz I wanna be a Brad Pitt
Drive a polo down the coast, but it cost a bummer
Throw me a rock and I’ll show you how I butcher
I run where the roads take me and be a slayer
Show me what you got, are you a lamer or a swagger
Chorus 2
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 2
All the haters hatin on me as if they’ve got the nine
I ain’t good enough, I ain’t deserving the lime
My burning anger burns fury hot like gasoline
Coz I know all good things that happen do take time
I always wanted to be the better, be the best
I will make myself worth not any less
Coz the life’s always a challenge, it’s just a test
Down to earth is my belief, where I reside, it’s my nest
They tell me friends ain’t everything,
Watch yourself, do what keeps you running
No matter what stops you, just keep on singing
At the end of the day, you reap seeds of winning
They’ll keep you down low, make you a loser
Till nothing comes to mind but only failure
Kick your legs, stand back up
Don’t let them make you drown, drown, drown coz it matter
Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 3
Down town, the lit up city is a bustling
I wanna dress up to down, down with the bling bling
Not only just me, but light myself in gleaming
You see me in pain but I’m on the road to winning
All the souls haunt me down in threes
All the people who once made me believe
Triads of you watch me drown in seas
But no, I don’t live my life to please
Lies, one by one I’ll hunt them down
I’ll watch you as you find your way to hide around
Drown me in tears, put me in fears in ghost town
All I heard was your lame cries that sound
Beep beep, I’m on stage but where are you
Gold medals’s up, they’re shining brand new
I don’t need you, I don’t need a cue
There’re no straight roads to winning, I don’t amuse
Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
