离开新加坡之前的感言

 这篇文章非常短,完全写之此刻的心情。。。

明天我就飞去英国了,开始生命中的另一个阶段。我真的很兴奋认识各国的朋友和接触新的文化。在新加坡生活了21年,偶尔也会觉得闷,因为新加坡真的太小太小了。有趣的地方,适合观赏夕阳黎明的地方,也就只有那些。对于即将面临的新阶段,我想提醒我自己这几点:

1)保持乐观的态度

许多事情都不在我们能控制的范围内 ,也不应该为每件事情烦恼。既然生命随时都可能结束,那何必闷闷不乐,愁眉苦脸呢?

2)思想开方,永远学习

世界太大太辽阔,智慧也是无限制的。只要我们肯乐意每天学一件新知识,累积的智慧是非常珍贵的。

3)尊敬每个人,每个生命都有价值

我们应带着慈悲的心,感激我们拥有活在地球上的机会。每个人都有自己逃不离开的绳索,想在各自的范围内超越自己,做个更好的人。

目前就只有这三点,在飞机上也许会再想一想,日后补充。

Regardless of their narrative, there is one central and consistent theme: They overcame all the odds stacked against them, worked their asses off and are now 'successful' - which unsurprisingly, seems to be only defined by 'landing a job in a famous company or matriculating into a good university'.  I'm sure you have seen such inspiring stories on the web. I used to and still find them inspirational, but they also elucidate the problems with a capitalist system: only individuals who achieved a sufficient degree of 'success' dare to come out and share their st

I became an urban farmer for 9 days

    First night in our cozy room   During these COVID times where we all itch to travel but are confined in Singapore, where better to have a staycation than in the 'rural countryside' of Lim Chu Kang? So, together with two of my friends, we stayed at Oasis Living Lab for 9 days (thankfully, with a weekend break at home). While we're nowhere near professional urban farmers, there are definitely many lessons we learnt from this short journey. So here's my take on urban farming in Singapore and why we should all start farming, or at least grow some veggies:   1) Farming connects the grower back to nature's roots Honestly, I can't remember the last time I touched soil before staying at the farm. Despite my parents growing a plethora of plants in my backyard, I rarely got involved. My life revolved too much around the Internet (which I'm certain applies to most of you too) and I looked at environmental issues through the lens of a pragmatic Singaporean: I care
