Reflections

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York
Hospital.


                                 SLOW DANCE


                         Have you ever watched kids

                            On a merry-go-round?

                          Or listened to the rain

                          Slapping on the ground?

                Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?

                 Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

                           You better slow down.

                            Don’t dance so fast.

                               Time is short.

                           The music won’t last.


                        Do you run through each day

                                On the fly?

                         When you ask How are you?

                           Do you hear the reply?

                            When the day is done
                                     !

                           Do you lie in your bed

                        With the next hundred chores

                         Running through your head?

                           You’d better slow down

                            Don’t dance so fast.

                               Time is short.

                           The music won’t last.


                           Ever told your child,

                           We’ll do it tomorrow?

                             And in your haste,

                            Not see his sorrow?

                              Ever lost touch,

                         Let a good friendship die

                          Cause you never had time

                            To call and say,"Hi"

                          You’d better slow down.

                            Don’t dance so fast.

                               Time is short.

                           The music won’t last.

                   When you run so fast to get somewhere

                  You miss half the fun of getting there.

                 When you worry and hurry through your day,

                      It is like an unopened gift….

                                Thrown away.

                            Life is not a race.

                             Do take it slower

                               Hear the music

                          Before the song is over.

Christmas reflections

~ FRIENDS ~

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can’t explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.

Sunset Walk at Macritchie

Hello SHCs.

We will commence our first walking activity on Sat 18th Feb at 4pm. The route chosen is intentionally kept easy to accomodate non regular walkers. You can invite any friend along.

We will meet at Paddle Lodge, a canoeing station, about 100 metres from Macritchie bus stop. From meeting point, we will take the boardwalk skirting the water edge, walking ocassionally among the trees for about 40 minutes and return via the adjoining jogging track. The total time is about 1 hour 20 mins. There is a washroom with toilet facility nearby. Drinks from a vending machine is also available. Alternatively, we proceed to the hill top food kiosk fronting the reservoir.

Put on a pair of comfortable walking shoe, some sun block cream and bring along a sunshade cap, a pair of sunglasses, a water bottle and a foldable small umbrella or puncho ( in case it rains).

Those intending to join in the walk, please email me at cwee99@singnet.com.sg or sms me ( hp 98288980) for further details & map.

Charles Wee – Profile

Hi all,

If you can paddle a bicycle you can join me in a ride from Lower Pierce Reservoir car park, travel along the old Thomson Road grand prix racing track up to Upper Pierce Reservoir, rest with toilet break, enjoy the scenic waters, ride back, cross Upper Thomson at traffic light then proceed Bishan Park 1 then Bishan Park 2 , then have a coffee break at nearby AMK, Teck Kee. Total distance about 16 kilometres, time about 3 hours. Good exercise & fellowship.

I have been doing this routine every Monday at 8am with a couple of friends. This project can immediately take off for those interested. Bicycle on rack at back of car OR put in car boot with car backseat folded backwards and detachable front wheel bicycle taken out. Free car park whole day.

Alternative routes could include Sentosa, P.Ubin, Pasir Ris Park, Marina South to Kallang stadium, East Coast, Changi/Tanah Merah seaside, Sembawang Park, etc.

charles – for healthy living. emoticon
