Book Review: ‘Wishes and Sorrows’ by Cindy Lynn Speer

Wishes and Sorrows is a well-written short story fantasy collection that interweaves myth, magic, romance, and fairytale elements. At times, the writing is darker and bordering on horror.

The 14 stories in this collection range from the melancholic, lyrically written “The Taste of Cherries,” to the chilling “The Train,” to a character study of isolation mingled…

The Hobbit or Not?

My husband was a big Tolkien fan and it was really he who insisted that I should write a book connecting the Christian aspects of The Lord of the Rings to people’s every day lives. I’m glad I followed my husband’s advice at the time he gave it, because he is no longer here it offer it. ThoughThe Road Goes Ever On – A Christian Journey Through the Lord of…

How to Choose Your Teachers

If you want to find the best teachers for your children, ask other parents and other teachers who are the best. Continually research via word of mouth who the most highly regarded teachers are.

Focus on the math and English teachers.

You need to talk to the powers that be before your children’s schedules are finalized. Let them know your preferences. Be firm and, if necessary, pushy.…

The Electorate

The electorate will always base their choice on emotion. The race, religions and social standing carry more weight than anything else. I am talking about the average guy on the street, which is where the majority of them are found. As we can see, during the past 62 years, politicians from many parts of the world were able to win one election after another even though the governments they came out with were corrupt, evil and inefficient. It is an open secret that many of these politicians…

Ancient Religion?

 

 

 

Buddhism is not antiquated

as claimed by some so-called scholars.

It talked about pension fund  2500 years ago

Only the terminology used was different

The Buddha used the phrase “rainy days”

He recommended 25% of a person’s earning

must be saved for rainy days.

Can you find another teacher

who proclaimed that his followers

would be equal to him

in status ?

Can you find…

Life Partner

She was the rose of the class

from secondary until university.

She had beauty, brain, determination and leadership.

With an Economics degree and a MBA

behind her

She was the leader of many a company

she picked and chose her employers just like

she did on her one-night stands.

She could swing left or right

because no man could ever claim

that she belong to him.

After swinging for many years

and could…

Pulau Ubin Shore



The seashore remains unchanged,

but the casuarinas,

which we tied the swing had fallen.

I walked alone along the serene shore

thinking of my love long gone.

The sea birds still circle in the sky

even though thirteen years had passed

Are they the same birds we used to watch?

It was great to lie…

True Love

Those who talk too much are blamed

Those who talk too little are blamed

Those who neither talk too much nor too little

are also blamed

No one is unblamed

Dear Appana, please go on talking

If your words can help to brighten up

the spirits of some poor souls

won’t your talking bring forward

great…

The Wolf

Look, Sheila

this is the key to my extra condo

and this is the key to my BMW

they are there waiting for you

This angmo here works under me

I can give you the best in this…

Perfect Government

Please show me a building on this planet

which is without cracks

I’ll then show you two countries

with two perfect governments

When a being reaches perfection

He doesn’t stay for more than

seven days on this earth unless he wants to

take up preaching

He dies within seven days

and his own fire from the body

is used to consume

the flesh and the bones

There’ll be nothing left

because the Arahant doesn’t…

Say What? & Free Books

Say What?  It is a lucky thing that everyone speaks at least one language in common in our household – or we’d be in serious trouble.  Case in point, my six year old daughter was looking at a notepad the other day with “Hello Kitty” written on the top.  I said, in that teacher voice I sometimes use, “Hey, do you know what this says?”  My little one looked at me smugly and said, “Yep, that’s Heloikio Kitty.”  Short pause as I digested this bit of information.  “Say again.”…
