Fu Shan Garden

Fu Shan Garden taken on 7 February 1996

Fu Shan Garden taken on 20 April 2022

The top photograph shows the year 1996 where the photograph was taken.  The flats were being built. It was showing Blk 827.  The photograph was taken on the mountain top of Fu Shan Garden.  You can see the bricks staircase and the bricks flooring.  It remains unchanged over the years.  

The photograph on top shows Richard.  I took the photo.  He was wearing the shirt which I bought for him.  He was so excited to see our house.  I miss the house very much.  But it was like a haunted house...

Almost everyday we had to walk past the garden.  It is a big and beautiful garden, full of dinosaurs. There is also a basketball court and a few playgrounds.  The gardener tries very hard to beautify the garden as can see from the pictures above.  Every little plot of land, he tries to add plants and flowers to it.  Many times, I saw the gardener working on the empty plots of land.  

I feel so blessed to be able to live here even though there were good and bad memories over here.  Over here there are wet market at Woodlands North Plaza, big supermarket (Giant), and Causeway Point.  Not forgetting Woodlands Community Club here.

Curious Cats

 

Picture of Taco peeking outside the window during a rainy day

Taco is about 3.5 months old now.  Just now it was raining heavily.  I opened the curtain and he began to come to the window to look at the outside world.  He is so curious looking at the falling rain outside the window.  Similar sight of this was also with Dora.  

Photograph of Dora looking outside the window

Dora was more than 2 years old in the above photograph.  The window grille was not pet friendly then.  She can go out of the window then.  We always take for granted that she will always return safely.  As their 'guardian angel' we had neglected our duties to keep her safe.  It was too late when we realized that.  Dora is dead... Was she our 'guardian angel' instead!

We had changed our window and window grille now.   It is pet friendly now.  Taco is not able to go out of the window.  If only we had changed our window grille earlier, Dora would not be dead.  Now we must be better 'guardian angel' for our pet Taco.

Praise the Lord, Alleluia!!!

 

 You make all things beautiful in your time! 

In His Time Lyrics: 
In his time, in his time 
He makes all things beautiful In his time 
Lord please show me everyday 
As you're teaching me your way 
That you do just what you say 
In your time 

You make all things beautiful In your time 
Lord my life to you I bring 
May each song I have to sing 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time 

(instrumental) 

Lord please show me everyday 
As you teaching me your way 
That you do just what you say 
In your time 

In your time (in your time), in your time (in your time lord) 
You make all things beautiful In your time 
Lord my life to you I bring 
May each song I have to sing 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time

What a perfect timing.  Today is the day after Good Friday where Jesus is Risen.  Happy Easter day and on this day, the eggs in the bird nest has hatched!  Last night, after midnight, the eggs were still not hatched.  Just now around noon, when I went to the garden to see the Green Chillies and the nest, I heard sound and it was the birds have hatched!!!  Praise the Lord, Alleluia!!!

In my garden, the seven stars needles flowers buds are plenty.  They were flourishing very well.  I am awaiting for the day to come when all the flowers bloom.  The chillies plants are growing very well too.  I am awaiting to see the chillies plants to grow bigger as well.  

At Woodlands MRT station, the birds build their nest at holes at the control switch

A further view of the control switch where I saw the bird nest at Woodlands MRT Station

I was walking along the pathway between Woodlands MRT Station and Causeway Point.  Then a bird flew by and my eyes followed it.  It flew into the hole at the control switch.  It was the 'modern' bird nest of the birds.  

John 14:23 -- Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

A Kind Soul

 

Blk 130 Jurong East (Jurong Gateway Road)

Met another kind soul on Saturday.  Mum and I went to Jurong East Blk 130, Jurong Gateway Road.  Mum need to go Radiologic Clinic for X-ray.  The clinic was going to close at 1pm, so we were rushing before it closed.  

Johnny dropped us at the car park and then we need to walk to the Radiologic Clinic.  As we were walking, we were not sure if we were heading towards the right direction.  I asked a passerby, a lady, who was so kind.  She actually walked with us, told us to follow her.  She could have just tell us the direction, but she offered to bring us there.  So nice of her.  

Mum is a kind hearted woman.  She will meet kind people to help her.  However yesterday on the bus, nobody volunteer to give up seat to her.  The bus was rather crowded and we had to stand.  She was not given a seat when we were taking the bus.

I hope that there will be more kind hearted people around in Singapore to help elderly people like mum.
