OOBE...Part 1, following up with Part 2...


One dim moonlit night, Bert was returning home after a singing stint at a local bar. He took a winding shortcut round a hill. Suddenly, a bright light flashed across his windscreen. Although the light was bright, it cast a dark shadow on the windscreen rendering it impossible to see what was in front. Whoa! That was frightening when you couldn't see where you were driving. He stepped hard on the brakes and the tyres screeched to a deafening halt. He got out immediately, and realised he could have driven right into a ditch that could have sent his car hurtling down into the forested ravine.
Hellooo...a soft low voice greeted him. I've been waiting to hitch a ride down this stretch of endless road. Endless? What did he mean, the road junction was right ahead; Bert had used this road many times.
Bert invited the stranger, a rather good-looking young man into his car as he said he needed a ride. The young man introduced himself as Fred and said he was a wrestler at the club. Oh yes, now Bert recognised him and had seen one of his shows. Bert admired his beautiful contoured muscles.
At the road junction, Fred got off and thanked Bert. As Bert drove on, suddenly, he saw a crowd surrounding a pile-up of vehicles and the wailing of several ambulances rang out into the night. Bert parked his car by the roadside and got out to see if he could render any help.
A man was lying on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on his face. He opened his eyes and stared at Bert. No ! ...it was Fred whom he had just given a lift to. How could that be?
Unfortunately, Fred didn't make it, he stared at Bert, eyes wide open but the paramedic gently pressed his eyes down and said he was gone...dead. Bert was totally flabbergasted as he had just spoken to Fred a short while ago and he was fine! Now, Bert remembered Fred saying it was an endless road ! His hair literally stood on ends. Endless road indeed ! Was that his ghost talking to him in his car. Bert was visibly shaken, held Fred's hand for the last time, it was still warm...and bade him an eternal farewell.
It has been reported by persons that the spirit leaves the body in a life and death situation and they can see themselves floating above their body, before the actual death. Some return alive to recall their OOBE.

Part 2

The following night, Bert was as usual singing in the small family bar; and in memory of Fred the wrestler, he sang Ghost Town followed by Another Lonely Night.
At the end of his performances which comprised 8 songs, including The Original High, the diners applauded and some walked up the stage and lay their shoes neatly in front. Bert was pretty bemused at their unusual, heartwarming gesture.
And then, lo and behold, Fred walked on stage !and lay his shoes alongside the others. Bert stared at him and was quite taken aback. He was ceratainly befuddled as he thought he had given a ride to Fred the previous night on that 'endless' road and subsequently a pile-up accident led to his demise.
Later, after his singing, he walked round the tables greeting all the loving folks, thanking them; also hoping to meet Fred. As he came to a table with a dim table-lamp, he saw Fred, alone. Bert politely asked if he could join him. Fred beamed a heartfelt smile and gestured for him to sit down at the small table for two.
Then, Bert noticed Fred had tears in his eyes as he looked at him. Bert was even more perplexed now. Fred blurted out rather uncontrollably that his twin brother, Seb, his only family had died in an accident.
Awww, there was Bert's answer !...he had held Seb's hand not Fred's at the scene of the accident. Not quite sure how to console Fred, he asked softly if he was with Seb when he passed on. Fred clenched his fist and gave a vehement no ! with sorrow and regret. Fred said he was at home watching the news when this accident popped up on the screen. He rushed there but Seb had gone. Continue...

Lam-My said...

Part 2 continued...

Bert choked up a bit too and told Fred he had given a lift to Seb and talked to him just minutes before the accident; held his warm hand for a last goodbye.
Fred stared at Bert rather confused...how could that have happened; he would have been in his own car driving to that fateful point of no return. If only he had indeed been in Bert's car, Fred muttered. Bert gently held Fred's hand to console him; still contemplating...Seb's OOBE that accosted him.

Ooooh-la-la Pharaoh basking, haw haw…I like the luxuriant purple efflorescence of this tree. I recall writing about it the first time I saw it in Adam’s Garden of Eden.

你好 ni hao Pharaoh sphinx…you look so blissful amid a worldwide pandemic.

早上好 jow sarng hao Lam-My…yea you got it right, so blissful…what’s a pandemic?

It’s a long long story, Pharaoh, you just continue giving your special love to your Daddy and all your caring uncles, oh, me as well ! 😘🐕

Why are you always twitching your ears?

I hear little strange sounds which you can’t hear.

Has Serpentine paid you a visit?

Psssss…sss

Who is that?

Me again, Serpentine….

What do you want from me?

No, not you, I brought a juicy red apple for your Daddy Adam, owner of Garden of Eden. He is a very talented person, that’s why millions of Fans love him. But this time round, he has gotten more careful, don’t think he’ll take my juicy red apple; it got him banished from his Garden of Eden. But now he owns one, not bad, pssss…pssss…see you in worse times to come…

Away from me ! Serpentine before I trample you to pieces !

Really ? Try ! You won’t win, I got lots of tricks up my sleeves, oooops, mouth, from which I spew temptations that you can’t resist; want a juicy bone ?

No, not from you Serpentine…I don’t buy into your sleaze…Owooooh! Okay, maybe I’ll just give it a lick to get a bit of the taste.

Have a nice meal, if you need more, you can always count on me, Pharaohdoggo…love your beautiful fur in the sunshine…🍖🐍🏡

Where are you Pharaoh…
Snugged up with my Daddy…usually, there are a lot of people making a lot of noise
But it’s very peaceful every night…don’t know where all the people go Owooooh…
Pharaoh, you won’t be able to call them even if you howl…
But Daddy can put on a show in his Garden of Eden using himself as the main prop
And we can see and hear him so clear booom booom booom...People, but there's no human connection ! 😊😪

It’s easy to get Pharaoh, my internet dog…I just say, Pharaoh, where are you?…and lo and behold he appears; not by fluke, many times already…🤣

Hey Pharaoh, you are so alert ! What made you turn so abruptly…

早上好 jow sarng hao Lam-My, good morning my internet aunty…🐕 I heard a strange sound; well Daddy is driving his dashing open-top so I can pick up even the wind with my antenna ears. Maybe Daddy is making those chit-chit sound to attract my attention.

You are looking so healthy; at this point in time, health is of utmost importance, or fall prey to dear friend mighty Covid.

Who is Covid?

Aya ya ya it’s better you not know, you should be able to kill it dead; it’s not interested in dogs, it loves humans because they have no clue how to exterminate it, and even if they do, it mutates; the whole debacle wreaks havoc.

Hey Pharaoh, I notice Daddy put a safety leash on you so you can’t stand up on the dashboard or put your head out of the car

Yeah, then I can feel things simply whizz past…oscillating in orbit !

You haven’t been to your favourite haunt, Runyon Canyon to run run run…

No, Daddy feels it’s not so safe, like you just explained. I’m okay but he needs to take extra precaution of his God-given resonance chambers.

Wah ! Pharaoh, that’s deep; no wonder you say you’re a big boy now and can fend for yourself.

Not only fend for myself, I have to take care of my Daddy, at times, he gets real lonely and I’m there to give him love always…it’s a win win you know, I get my munchy marrow on a silver platter…Owoooh! 🏡🍖🐕

Wah ! Pharaoh, you might have beaten your Daddy in handsomeness haw haw ! maybe by just 0.001 point. Your flare-out antenna ears and big round eyes seal the deal.

谢谢 sair sair internet aunty from the opposite side of the world. My Daddy is very handsome and talented and takes extremely good care of me. Looove him owoooh!

How do you know your Daddy is handsome and talented?

I love his face and smell, and his voice chut chut, means he’s got something for me to explore; that’s why you say I’m alert, I’m trained owoooh ! My favourite is run run run on the canyon and you ask where am I going…nowhere but so free, can run where I like, I know Runyon like the back of my hand er paw; lately not so much, we stay at home. 🐕🏘️

I found one of my Bert and Saul stories posted into my archive…it’s about survival, putting one’s life on the line for another, getting through a crisis; well, it bears vestiges of present world dilemma.

Bert and Saul were trekking in a vast desert; they had ventured out on their own leaving the group at Burning Man. Half way through, a blizzard hit them and visibility was down to barely 5 metres. They tried getting back, instead they went deeper and deeper into the desert.
Night fell and the cold set in, a direct contrast to the heat in the day. They huddled together beside a dry twiggy bush; the wind was howling like an oncoming freight train…pretty scary even for two adventurous guys.
Soon the much-awaited dawn arrived in the early hours; what a relief and the blizzard had subsided. They continued trekking hoping to reach a place with water as they had consumed every drop in their water-bottles.

Ssss-ssss … what’s that? A snake! Saul the more hands-on person who always helped his Dad to spruce up the garden, knew it was nothing like those he had seen. His protective instinct kicked in…confronted the serpent head-on to try to lure it away from Bert, its venom could kill him. Sure enough, the black-yellow-banded snake moved away from its original target and spewed its venom in Saul’s direction. Whoa ! it missed by inches ! and what a spectacular splash it was, fast and furious. Saul reflexively dodged it. It retreated into the twiggy bush.
Bert was so impressed by the way Saul handled a life-threatening situation and taking the direct line of fire/danger in order to protect him. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another. They hugged and kissed in the beautiful Aquarius dawn, and moved on in search of water.

Then, Bert spotted a shiny pool in the distance and elatedly directed Saul’s attention to it. They ran towards it hoping to get a drink. But it retreated as if playing catch-me-if-you-can…They never seemed to be able to reach the pool gleaming in front of them. Their mouths were dry and thought about the Lipton Tea song: Lay me down in darkness…Tell me what you see…
Well, after many hours of trudging, they saw another pool of water in the distance, they were not so keen to rush to it this time; in any case they could barely walk.
But this mirage approached them ! Whoa ! It lifted their spirits. Bert shouted for help…Ohhhhh ahoyyyy ! his voice echoed in desperation. It’s a real mirage ! their Burning Man campers had been searching for them; rushed to their rescue ! oooh-la-la…all got back to camp safely. 🌵...🚶🚶‍♂️

Lay me down in darkness, tell me what you see… I have seen it all from AI 2009 Mama to present round-the-world efflorescence Mama, on live streams and videos. Thank you so much all involved bringing them to millions around the world, so clear, spectacular, on the very day of each show.

The Show Must Go on - Padang City Hall Parliament Place - 17 Sept 2016 Singapore

https://youtu.be/Y6zdYcCyV-Y

When Queen and Adam Lambert performed The Show Must Go On at the Padang, 17 Sept 2016, it instantly struck a chord; it fitted City Hall / Parliament Place / Padang so starkly. It was here that the British Flag was lowered right in front of City Hall steps and in its place the Japanese Flag was raised after the infamous Surrender of Singapore 1942. 3 years of hell ensued, that took the unarmed innocent lives of 50,000, under the Japanese occupation. Singapore was returned to the British at the end of WW2 1945; also rectified at City Hall / Padang; after the dropping of 2 atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the Americans. 144 years later, Singapore finally stood on her own 2 feet – Independence in 1959. Lee Kuan Yew fought without a single bullet; secured Singapore’s total Freedom from the British in stages. He fought tooth and nail as a double-starred Upper Honours Lawyer from Cambridge, against the Queen Counsel at their Supreme Court, so eloquent and powerful, they finally granted Independence in stages.
Now, you see why The Show Must Go On fitted so elegantly and powerfully when Queen and Adam performed it at the Padang. Ironically, the Queen of England granted Singapore’s Independence and Queen sort of bring it to full circle. 55 years have passed and today, we are still fighting for The Show To Go On; there is no two ways about it, mighty Covid confronts us at the crossroads ! Take the wrong turn and many will perish but Lee Hsien Loong and his Team of Experts have so far kept the deaths very low, 27 to date in spite of the fact we have 56000+ infections, mostly migrant workers quarantined in dormitories; community cases down to about 5 per day for past few months. Singapore government has so far spent over $100 billion to save collapsing businesses and those in dire needs, ongoing. Changi Airport is cautiously flying to some agreed connected destinations.
Adam Lambert’s documentary The Show Must Go On fits him to a T as he too struggled to get back on his feet each time he fell.
For Singapore, it’s not a Show, not a Pantomime, it’s life and death, one critical wrong move, that’s all it takes, but we never give up, it’s a Sing trait.

I chanced upon my weird dialogue story…picture of King in Red Coat commanding his court jester to amuse him…

@QueenWillRock @DrBrianMay @JulienMacdonald – Rhapsody Tour 2019

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_YmTrpVUAAE874.jpg

Court jester! If music be the food of love, play on!

Yes, your Majesty, whatever you say, your word is my command!

What are you playing Court jester? I don’t recognise the music. Play something current.

Bring it back…bring it back…cuz you don’t know what it means to me…

Hmmm…that’s Lovely!

Can you play Comin In Hot ?

Twang twang twang Comin in hot…Comin in hot…

Is that all?

That’s all I know your Majesty!

Guards ! Send him to the gallows…Useless!

Give me a another chance, I’m working on it…whiiooo whiiooo! doong doong doong chang…

That sounds like a Rock odyssey, all right, your life is spared by the hair on my chinny chin chin!

(Court jester leaves mumbling) : He who knows not he knows not is a fool!

What are you mumbling? You ingrate! I just spared your life!

(Bows, retreats)…Yes, yes! Almighty King of Ethereal! haw haw…(softly)

Are you still sneering? Court jester!

Er Er no…something got caught in my throat; I’ve come of age.

Guards! Send him to the gallows anyway!

(Cries) ‘ Let me go…let me go…I’m just a poor boy…nobody loves me…spare me from this monstrosity…’

My poem includes most of Adam Lambert’s Velvet album titles…turns out a bit morbid, or uplifting depending on your disposition.

Velvet intricately woven, smooth, elegant
The Stranger You Are the deeper to fathom
Superpower tags on a Covid lyric :
All the witches and the Covid better get out of my way…aye aye
Wearing mask and keeping a 1.5 metre distance
So as to keep a lid on Covid from rampaging at random
Adam and Pharaoh continue Ready To Run the Runyon

That Overglow
Where the moment goes
Leave me all alone
But you would never know
It’s got a hold on you
People, but there is no human connection ~ Adam Lambert

Smell the Roses at home or the fresh air out in the open
Closer To You is not possible, many die on their own
Frontline workers, nurses, doctors, hold their hands as they gasp their last
With New Eyes, their soul is free…no more pain, no respirators
Hop step jump On The Moon…Feel Something
Meet Loverboy in the far-off Aquarius constellation…from stardust to stardust…

Do you know what we are living for…Dr Brian
Oh yes! but Roger and I almost threw in the towel
Now, with renewed energy which you ooze
From every note you push
I found new inspiration to revitalise Queen
We brought it forward, as they say, new bottle old wine
Keeping good ole Queen intact but when you sing
It changes the whole field…an old-new Rock dichotomy

Oh, I may even have energy to travel to another galaxy
For starters RoboFrank is waiting for me on Saturn
I wonder how he’s doing, in those celestial rings

I too have embarked on new creativity, inspired by your brilliance
With New Eyes I see the love in your eyes, my partner-in-crime
Our destiny is extravagantly intertwined…

Now this brings me back to my Beacon Light poem 2011 :

Adam is the beacon light
Shimmering in the depth of night
Guiding young and old alike
Into the harbour of delight
Sexy man we love you so
Your struts and thrusts and body rolls
Thrill us to bits to our very own soul

You made it big ! I told you so !
Your hair and fashion, chic and bold
Set us speculating on our toes
Expect the unexpected to uphold
It ain’t that deep as we are told

Adam is blasted off to the moon 🌜🌛
Causes an upset, a big bang boom
A huge Superstar is born real soon
Thanks universe for this heavenly boon

Full of surprises, master of intrigue
Not succumbing to hate nor defeat
Prowling the stage…a theatric beast
Wailing out notes that don’t exist
Glam Nation…a galactic treat
By all accounts a world-class feat
Triggers an avalanche of tweet tweet tweet
Fans adore you at your feet

Your voice so high rises to the sky
Some of your songs make us cry
Hope your album arrives in style
Rooting for it to rock sky-high
Handsome Adam, labelled Outlaw?
How can that be, his love touches all

What are you bringing this summer or spring
Come to our city to sing and swing
Anticipating the next scintillating
Adam Lambert, the Pop Rocker King !

10 years whiz by…and we view the world with New Eyes
His prolific singing empowers the mind
In the midst of the Covid scourge that kills 950,000 lives
A vaccine marathon races to beat the finish line
Be that as it may, Adam is flying to the moon to croon...
Lift off ! 💥🚀🌓 Show time !

Boots shoes boom bang
Adam is walking with a swank
By the shine of the moonlit bank
Rants, vents, foes, friends
All aboard…to lend a hand

Bang boom shoes boots
Pharaoh tip-toes, pees and hoots
Marking territory in frantic mood
Grandpa feeds him slurping soup

Boom shoes boots bang
Fashionista avant-garde trends
Tooooo looove a boyfriend
Waiting round the Canyon bend

Shoes boots bang boom
Fly me to the back of the moon
Down a gigantic crater room
Where we hang out nice and loose
By the light of the silvery moon

Boom shoes boots bang
Pharaohdoggo is pulling a prank
Digs a deep hole in the sand
Hides his Daddy’s blue suede pants

Boots and shoes
So many to choose
Pharaoh got a whole lot to chew
No, Lam-My, I don’t
In fact I protect them
I like the green-tip pair
That Daddy wore with Gatzby Gang
Aha, where is the other blue suede shoe?
That’s my favourite so I hide it
Huh? Where?
Somewhere under the stairs
Where Daddy cannot find it
Why do you like the blue suede shoe so much?
He needs to wear them to perform for Elvis
All right…I’ll bring it
My favourite is the elegant tall boots
But quite dangerous, he tripped once walking down the steps
Singing Radio Ga Ga but his wobble kungfu saved it
Pharaoh, your natural paws are the best for running, they don’t slip
Scampering down Runyon with a flick and a kick, you lick it ! 🐕

For me, Overglow relates so closely to present Covid pandemic especially this line 'People, there’s no human connection'… feels clairvoyant, and Superpower, Adam added in the lyric 'All the witches and the Covid better get out my way aye aye'. I like all his Velvet songs, relatable.

Adam is in Rome and shared a video...

https://twitter.com/i/status/1312456045378244610

On tour, many moons ago, I saw a lot of the wall to wall and ceiling Renaissance Paintings on the Life and Passion of Christ, Bible; a lot of Italian Sculptures everywhere; St Peter’s Basilica awe-inspiring ! Ingenious art, designs, patterns ceiling to floor, stained-glass windows. Embalmed Popes in caskets lay beneath altars; I initially thought they were wax-works but gasped when told they were real Popes who had passed on many years. I looked again, real, whoa.

Velvet Album, very cathartic, relevant to present convoluted Covid times, with an uplifting respite booom booom beat; it still boils down to the emotion and skill he delivers them with, like a prolific Chinese calligrapher, one decisive stroke after another to paint his songs through life’s ups and downs, like his painful breakups, loneliness, yet you can derive strength when he sings them, such as…

I get back up when I fall
Rip the paint from the wall
When I win, I’mma run and take the money
Try to put me in a box
Make me something I’m not
Don’t give a f..k ’cause I’m gonna take back
My superpower, my superpower

Roses in Adam’s Garden of Eden used as his home stage…Hey there Pharaoh !

This line in The Light song by Mediacorp that I posted months back, has panned out, yes… ‘ I see light…drowning out the shadows…just fight ‘ much clearer now and not so scared; Sing economy is making a surprisingly quick and big right-about turn around; we have embarked on phase 3, a cautious opening up, authorities keeping extremely close tabs, to prevent any unforeseen Covid recurrence.
Well, blood samples of 3 recovered Covid Singaporeans saved the day for Present Trump who within 10 days was up and about doing what he loves most; campaigning.
Antibodies from the 3 recovered Singaporeans’ blood samples were sent on request, and used to manufacture drugs / antibodies that contributed to his swift recovery; Trump’s immunity has been woken, still got to be careful.
Singapore has also helped other countries; contributed $100 million to Covid organisations to help in relief funds for the poor. Dipped deep into reserves, $100 billion to save collapsed local businesses. Eye-opener of my lifetime.

An eye for an eye…

One cool autumn day, Bert and his beloved dog Pharaoh were hiking in the woods… all of a sudden rain started to pour. They were soon drenched and Pharaoh kept shaking out the water from its drenched fur. Bert picked him up and started running for shelter. Thank goodness, they spotted a hut and beelined towards it. Bert knocked on the door but no one came; he then gave it a push, it creaked open; it was a deserted hut, maybe the owners had left.
Pharaoh seemed attracted to a barn next to the hut. He started scratching at the door trying to get into the barn. Bert peeked in but there was nothing except for a pile of straw; hold on a minute…a rather surreptitious wooden cover sticking out under the straw. Bert got nearer and Pharaoh kept sniffing and scratching at it.
At this moment, squeaky noises were heard from within, Bert lifted the cover…nothing, except for an entanglement of cobwebs and a rustic smell.
Pharaoh jumped in, it seemed to sense something…then without warning…zooom ! down down down it fell right through the opening. Bert called out frantically; he was not able to get inside as it was too small. He squeezed himself in, one leg at a time, yelling, Pharaaooh… ! It always kept very close to its Daddy and wouldn’t disappear like that. Bert finally managed to squeeze his whole body in…

Pitch-dark, Bert switched on his torch…whaz ziz zhis ? An underground cavern, stalagmites and stalactites glimmered in the dim light.
Buddy ! Where are you ? No signs of his beloved doggo.

As he was groping in the dark to avoid the hanging stalactites, he heard some squeaky voices and saw faintly a number of silhouettes lurking; he directed his torch at the silhouettes…Whoa ! they did not appear human, with big dark eye sockets, no eyeballs; they were holding Pharaoh ! Bert was getting really scared now…what was he dealing with ? At this moment Pharaoh sensed his Daddy’s presence, immediately leapt from the alien’s grip and scampered onto his Daddy’s outstretched arms.

Meantime, the aliens left by the back door…they were not aggressive and a strange droning sound accelerated outside. Bert held Pharaoh tightly, peeped through the ajar back-door. He couldn’t believe his eyes…a flying drone sent out brilliant sparks and zoomed above the clouds like a shooting star…it soon disappeared.

Where did they come from and what do they want ? Maybe they were trying to kidnap Pharaoh for their alien experimentation; aliens living amongst us ? All kinds of probabilities crept into Bert’s mind.
He decided to explore this strange place…got out into the backyard with Pharaoh eagerly tripping by his side; actually hardly a yard; it was a large expanse of wasteland with a maze of reddish clay paths, no trees nor shrubs. Where is this ? Never been here before, yet so close to my home…the reddish clay reminded Bert of Mars.

Hellooo ! We come in peace ! Bert jumped with a start ! What ! I thought they had left. More aliens appeared ! Their dark eye-sockets no eyeballs stared at Bert, talking in nasal squeaky voices.

Pharaoh ! Run ! Run !
The place seemed so unrecognisable with twists and turns of clay tracks, a complete contrast from the woods they hiked in.

The aliens came closer : Hellooo ! Wait ! We are not here to scare you !

Who are you ? Bert clutching Pharaoh, in case they snatched him.

We are Martians ! We have lived here in prehistoric times and return occasionally to monitor its progress, we understand your language. Very glad to meet you and your beautiful smart doggo. We need a favour…would you let us examine your intriguing dog. See, we do not have 4-legged aliens, let alone with luminous eyeballs that sparkle in the dark. We want to replicate such beautiful new eyes ! 👽💫

Bert was stunned in disbelief but he was always very liberal and tolerant of unusual happenings. He agreed to let them examine Pharaoh. Without wasting a moment they held Pharaoh and stroked him lovingly, gazing hard at its alert basenji eyeballs, perhaps started programming them. Pharaoh had a closeup view, didn’t sense fear and peered into their dark hollow eye-sockets; literally open windows to their brain; Pharaoh seemed able to connect with them. They could be blind, thought Bert and use their sensors to see / detect their surroundings; that may be the reason they got so attracted to Pharaoh’s eyeballs that illuminate in the dark, to them like twinkling stars…on four legs ! 👀💫

A month passed and Bert was ruminating on those Martians whom he just couldn’t let go in his mind; it was obsessing him; he decided to put it to rest once and for all. He with Pharaoh tripping by his side, got to the woods where they had their first extraterrestrial encounter. Got to the hut which looked like any other home, but deserted and rundown. Walked in by pushing open the unlocked door and as Bert was about to lift the wooden door-cover to get into the cavern, he saw something that shook him to the core. Two Pharaohs ! with alert identical basenji eyes !

Pharaoh ! he gasped not able to tell which one was Pharaoh. One of them jumped onto Bert’s lap as it always did. The other stared but did not react.

Hellooo ! Earth friend ! Good to see you again. Do you like my Pharaoh clone ? Bert was shaken by this unexpected turn of events.
Its name is Phaidor.

Phaidor ! Bert blurted out !

Phaidor immediately responded…wagged its tail elatedly on hearing its name…a different tone by a human. And jumped onto Bert’s lap, wah ! gave Bert a dry debut face lick exactly like what Pharaoh did whenever he missed his Daddy after a long absence; the only difference, Pharaoh’s was moist and slurpy. Bert was overwhelmed beyond words.
Pharaoh and Phaidor 🐕🐕…🏕

I think you would have differenciated my use from the usual connotation; mine is not the tit-for-tat implication, but a whimsical one of the alien eyeing Pharaoh’s eyeballs…an eye for an eye. If you actually detected my hidden inference, I say you are sharp like I’ve always said. So too, Jill Neubronner, CNA; she used *extraterrestrial in a real scientific sense which I only use in a space alien context. Both belly belly sharp brains. 😁

2️⃣4️⃣ Nov 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ 🎄🏥💉👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Covid chimes a deadly dirge 🔔
People on the verge
In an urgent search for
Food, money, cures, jobs, security
A fatalistic potpourri of anxieties

Vaccines are close at hand, December
But for the majority, the elderly, the chronic sick
May not be vaccinated till next May
It’s better to stay safe…wear a mask, reduce close contact
Avoid large gatherings…keep a safe distance 1.5 metres
Actually it’s easier said done…I’m guilty of that

Two days ago, my temperature recorded 36.8 C at the supermart entrance
Your temperature is normal, welcome…
Says a voice on the thermal screen with my masked face
Merrily shopping, mingling, social distancing out the window
A cute little Indian boy on a stroller was screaming his head off
My motherly instinct kicked in and went closer to comfort him
He eventually stopped crying when I pointed to his bruised knee

On my way home, however, crossing a winding overhead bridge
I remove the mask whenever there’s nobody
To replenish oxygen as the mask does hinder breathing
That’s a health hazard, but compared with being hooked on a respirator
Mind over matter…devil and the deep blue sea

We are at phase 3, cautiously, we sort of made it
To see the dazzling light at the end of the tunnel
Crushing Covid by its head…zero local transmission
For 14 days, exactly 2 weeks…its incubation
Now the economic spill-over…many businesses collapse to a point of no return
Government subsidises with handouts amounting $100 billion
Matching, training, adapting job seekers to new companies
Contributes $100 million to global assistance 🏥💉🥣
PM Lee once said on tv…if any country can survive Covid, it’s Singapore
He made good on his promise !

PM Lee Congratulates CNA On Winning Channel Of The Year, They Beat Out CNN & BBC…

On Friday (13 Nov), the United Kingdom-based Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) named CNA the Channel of the Year, beating out noted international media divisions from BBC and CNN. Nov 18, 2020.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong congratulated the Mediacorp-owned group on 18 Nov, stressing the need for a trusted news source in these “fragmented and sometimes fractious” times in terms of media.

CNA was formed by Mediacorp in 1998, and claims to be positioned to “Understand Asia”, with a focus on international news through Asian lens.

1️⃣2️⃣ Dec 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ 💉👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Covid-19 one year on...

People are getting restless and desperate
For some tete-a-tete escapade
On the beach, at the mall, family reunion
A leap of faith, a free fall at your own risk

Doctors, nurses, health-workers, covered head to toe in protective gear
Walk resolutely into Covid infected wards, the direct line of fire !
What better friend than one who lays down their life for another
To bid a final goodbye, holding their trembling hand as they gasp their last 🛌
No family, no friend by their side 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Virologists, scientists, doctors tirelessly work on a vaccine
Yes finally ! a life-saver Vaccine shines a ray of light on our destiny 💉

The jingle ‘Singapore Airlines is a great way to fly’ that I grew up with
Echoes its knell in silence on the tarmac...vigilantly slowly opening
Huge warehouses, expo halls, a Changi Airport vacant plot
Turned into Covid facilities for treatment, testing, tracing, isolating
Ahh, a silver-lining in Golden butterfly Joseph Schooling
His winning time 50.39s remains standing till 2021 Tokyo Olympics
Let's rally behind him for another herculean fly flick kick 🏊‍♂️

Mighty Covid pretty much dictates…
Decrees wearing mask, staying 6 feet / 2 metres apart
Invisible yet so powerful
Humans forced to rethink, reinvent, recuperate
Corporate carnage


Will we ever annihilate Covid completely
Not really, only temporarily, a fatalistic reprieve
Once it mutates, wreaks havoc again
It’s natural selection, survival of the fittest
So what are we left with…
Be that as it may, united we stand, divided we fall
Work together, keep a lid on Covid
21st century apocalypse ! a turning point of no limit 🌪️

Back to the drawing board, reignite the entrepreneurial spirit
A never-seen-before unknown hangs precarious
Coronavirus spikes fuse into human cells, replicate, suffocate
Our defenceless immune system that can’t recognise it
Millions infected, thousands dead…who will lift us out of this masquerade ? 😷

Did you say masquerade ?
But Covid is not a charade, in fact it's real as hell !
So why did the word jump out of my head
Impromptu, took me by surprise
I rationalise...the mandatory mask we wear
Liken to a motley masquerade party 🎭
More dangerously, Covid too is masquerading
Corona / crown , spikes / thorns...Crown of thorns reminds me of Jesus
Latest: 70 million cases, 1.59 million deaths...one person dies every 30 seconds...🕰️
Well, like the 2 handsome Mediacorp singers aspire :
I see light drowning out all the shadows...just fight !
I see light at the end of the tunnel...just fight ! 💡🧿🛤

Lam-My ~ 10 Dec 2020

I just heard Dr Reiner on CNN Don Lemon show, saying *carnage inflicted by Covid taking such a heavy toll, just today alone in the US, 3000 deaths, numbers have been high for quite some time. Don Lemon reports, showing figures, it’s more than 9/11. He also said he can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Earlier on, Anderson Cooper said they are in a very dark tunnel, how long the tunnel is, they don’t know but hoping for a welcome light; a double whammy Covid and Election fallout.

*Corporate carnage above, used by Adam Bakhtiar CNA.

The origin of *carnage is my description of 49 gays massacred (2016) which in fact was my first word but *carnage jumped out because it was so bloody and lustful.
This word doesn’t seem to go away even after 5 years and each time the *carnage increasingly devastating. 🤢😷

2️⃣5️⃣ Dec 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ 💖💞 Merry Christmas 😊

Moon flags off 21st century with a big bang booom !
Now, that brings me back to the eclipse tango of sun moon
That I witnessed live from my balcony 26 Dec 2019 noon
Gravitational attraction, a dance in the heavens
Moon says : Watch me ! I’m hitting the limelight
Not only blocking mighty sun, my tango partner-in-crime
Earthlings are obsessed with digging up my billions-year-old treasures
In a fast and furious Chang’e 5 exploration and retrieval
The Return capsule just brought back 1,731 grams of moon soil / rocks
Flying through space…a perfect touch-down in the snow of Inner Mongolia / China
For dissection and sharing with the world our ancient volcanic evolution 🌋
Okay, I see now as I saw the moon-sun eclipse phenomenon
That brought me to tears from the heavens

On the flip-side, Covid had already slipped in by then, without warning
One year on, it has infected 79 million, killed 1.7 million…
Ah, brilliant scientists / doctors say in no uncertainty
Not so fast Covid ! We are hot on your heels ! Vaccine is ready to rock-and-roll around the world !

Overwhelmed by the Solar eclipse 2019, I had suspected something very dramatic would happen
A great deal more than I had expected
Before 2020 takes its curtain-call from this convoluted year of controversy and Covid ! 🛌💉😷

21 Dec 2020
First batch, Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines arrive at Changi Airport; flown in from Brussels, Belgium, stored at -70*C in refrigerated facility in Singapore.

🔆🌅
As pointed out by eminent Doctors, the *Light at the end of the tunnel is the Vaccine ! So looks like the Mediacorp Singers’ aspiration has come to fruition, delivered by a jumbo jet at Changi Airport, in talks to be the vaccine distribution centre for the region.

*Carnage has indeed come a long long way from my original use of the massacre of 49 gay people 2016. This time round it jumped by leaps and bounds; with a double C… Covid Carnage, in human deaths as well as businesses.

It’s indeed a *herculean achievement by Scientists / Doctors to come up with a Covid Vaccine within a year; estimated earlier-on as too short a time for such a monumental creation. China Scientists’ mapping out the Covid 19 genome sequence, I think has speeded up the Covid 19 vaccine development.

*carnage *herculean *purge have emerged as winners in my word-marathon 2016-2020…picked up over and over again on internet. 🥰 Much appreciated ! Wonder if my word-marathon would carry through into 2021. I feel the skies are opening up but still a lot of dark clouds hang ready to burst without warning.

Merry Christmas ! Happy New Year 2021 ! 2021年新年快乐 !

Waah ! Chang'e 5 return-capsule streaks through the night sky bringing its priceless cargo of moon soil / rocks home to Beijing. Many helicopters and vehicles spread out to search the huge wide snow-covered grasslands of Inner Mongolia / China. Yes ! they found their return-capsule intact nicely landed in the snow. They were awed ! Billions-year-old moon soil / rocks that actually flew from outer-space into their backyard !

I tried to follow the convoluted procedures of docking and undocking of the 4 components of Chang'e 5 orbiter, lander, ascender, returner. Goodness me ! my brain got all entangled; so many times they join and separate and join again and separate. This one is dramatic, after the ascender carrying the moon soil/rocks blasted off from the lander on the moon, to dock with the orbiter circling the moon, unloaded its moon collections, to be stored in the return-capsule, was commanded by Beijing control to smash into the moon so as not to leave any space junk floating around that may hinder future explorations, their next probes Chang'e 6,7,8.
The final separation was between the return-capsule and orbiter, 5,000 km above earth, before touching down in Inner Mongolia / China.

恭喜中国 ! goong si zhongguo .. Congratulations China ! You are going to lead us through 21st Century !

CNA
‘SINGAPORE: While 2020 has been an “exceptionally testing year” for Singapore, there is now *light at the end of the tunnel, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his New Year message on Thursday (Dec 31).

Straits Times
"We can now see *light at the end of the tunnel," said Mr Lee, adding that Singapore's economy is beginning to see signs of stabilisation as well after its most severe downturn since independence.
But it will still take some time before enough people are vaccinated to prevent another major uncontrolled outbreak, he noted. In the meantime, people have to remain disciplined and continue practising precautionary measures.'

Mothership
'Singaporeans can see the *light at the end of the tunnel...
PM Lee noted that the fatality rate of the virus has been kept low, and that the number of new local infections has come down to a handful a day, and even zero on many days.'

Total cases 58,662 .. Recovered 58,476 .. Deaths 29

Today-online
'With economic rebound in sight, PM Lee urges S’poreans ‘not to falter in this final stretch'

Lam-My :
PM Lee brings up the rear with there is now *light at the end of the tunnel.
The most number of times was said by brilliant Doctors interviewed on CNN. It was also said twice on CGTN / Dialogue.

Actually the Mediacorp Singer who sang the line *I see light, at the end of the tunnel…just fight…did attract my attention; he looks cute with his oversized jacket, keeps him warm, studio must be very cold. But it was not the light nor the tunnel so much, it was the last 2 words *Just fight…and we now know what *Just fight…turns out to be...catastrophic event of 2020-2021.

*The Light is written by Chinese singing reality competition SPOP champion Jarrell Huang and The Celebrity Agency artiste JJ Neo who said:
“The idea for the song came about when I was personally feeling unsettled and overwhelmed by the current COVID-19 situation. However, coming together with the team to complete the song took away so much anxiety...”

*The Light Singers : Daryl-Ann, Desmond Tan, Fang Rong, Felicia Chin, James Seah, Liwani Izzati, Richie Koh and Sharon Shobana.

‘The Light‘ is specially produced by Mediacorp to thank Singapore’s frontline heroes fighting COVID-19.'

'Senior staff nurse Sarah Lim from the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) was the first person to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in Singapore on Wednesday (Dec 30).'

Singapore is also manufacturing its own vaccine.
'Positive interim results were announced by Singapore’s Covid vaccine candidate ARCT-021, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics in collaboration with scientists from the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore. Shipments are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021. Other countries are also in talks with Arcturus for potential vaccine purchases, including Israel, with a purchase agreement of up to $275 million.'

Another year passed…
Trundling along from dawn to dusk
Glamberts in tow, you and us
Life isn’t that bad to laugh and lust
Enroute our efflorescent musical path
Together we journey furious and fast
Expect the unexpected though we must
Nothing’s too wild, so what’s the farce
Lateral thinking, love and trust
Will open our minds, souls and hearts
Your impeccable singing a rare class !

Amid frustrations, enjoy the air
Pros and cons will always be there
Bounce, trounce, ready to pounce
No hate ! love eases pains an ounce
Beautiful is the head that wears the Crown !

Pharaoh! Haw haw viewing the world upside down; you must be a little bored, not able to go run your endless canyon road. I notice you feel liberated when you run, like trying to get to a destination. Now, you look like a flying-fox hanging upside-down, your big round eyes and antenna ears.

Hi internet aunty! You bet I’m longing to go pound the canyon; so free and I can feel the wind as my feet beat the Runyon track.

Do you know the way well ?

Sure I do, especially the familiar spots where I pee to mark the route; but now I may have lost those spots, washed off by the rain but I can still find them; a dog’s sense of smell is formidable.

Wah! you can remember big words; exceptional memory as well.

Trained sniffer dogs can smell out people with Covid ! by sniffing their mask, clothing, belongings, body, if they are carriers of the virus with no symptoms yet. ‘It has been estimated that a dog’s sense of smell is 100,000 times more powerful than a human’s.’

天问 Tianwen .. comes from the long poem of the same name written by Qu Yuan (about 340–278 BC), a poet of ancient China. (from Chinese article)

Now, I recall my late Mom occasionally said in Cantonese : 问天 mun teen (reversed, 问 mun / ask .. 天 teen / sky), which literally means ask the sky; it means she did not know the answer so ask the sky. 🚀

Good morning Lam-My ! Yes, Daddy fed me with my favourite mashed dog food.

What are you doing at the sign-post ?

You can see what I’m doing.

Okay, rephrase… why do you do this at certain spots when you are hiking ?

Marking my territory, to show other dogs nearby that it belongs to me.

Are there other dogs around ?

Yes, I like them and run up to smell them out. I have 3 close doggie pals; Jelly, Hazel, Oliver.

Kungflu vs Kungfu
One is invisible, the other invincible
Kungflu hit the world in Dec 2019
Same time as the solar eclipse unravelling in the sky
That I watched live happening above my balcony
So profound, tears welled up in my eyes
No inkling whatsoever its catastrophic symbolism
Spread like wildfire out of control
No, not the solar eclipse, the other just as wild
Engulfing the whole world
Worldwide Updated : 134 million confirmed cases, 2.9 million deaths

Kungfu on the other-hand dates back 1500 years China
少林功夫 shao lin kung fu / Shaolin kungfu
林 lam / forest, that’s my name ~ Lam-My 😊
I know no kungfu nor did I contract kungflu
Very scared as I’m in the high-risk age group
PM Lee Hsien Loong and his Team of Experts
Ministers, scientists, doctors, nurses, health/food/transport caregivers, Army
Led us through the dark Covid tunnel step by step, inching our way, making sure we don’t slip
To reach the bright light shining at the exit of this twisted viral abyss 😷

Two amicable Covid volunteers came a-calling
My front door was open
Do you want to have vaccination? they asked politely
I hesitated a bit and said yes
They asked when I would like to have it
Being a little jittery, I asked for a week or two interim
Handed over my IC and they took down the details
Gave me an appointment at the nearby polyclinic
28 April 2021 which added up to a perfect 10
19 May 2021, second jab 3 weeks later
1 million Singaporeans have already been fully vaccinated
Wanted to know Pfizer or Moderna
The nice lady said I will know at the vaccination
Through the course of our conversation, found out
Yung Shern the nice young man got his Politics Degree from U of Toronto
To which I responded…you’re aspiring to be prime minister 😊
I reciprocated: my daughter got her English Hon Degree from the same U

✝️
Jesus Resurrection.
Bible history has it that when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, she saw the large boulder rolled back and Jesus’ body they buried on Good Friday, after Jesus’ Crucifixion, was not there.
Skeptics say, it may have been stolen or taken away, but the huge boulder at the tomb entrance and followers praying outside would have raised alarm; as it stands, no such incident had been recorded. This is the cornerstone of Christianity.
All right even if you think it’s just a story, okay. The significance of death and rising up again is what life is about; a simplified analogy : plants die but their seeds rise from the ground; life goes on. Just like we are in the midst of a deadly pandemic, but we know we will rise from this catastrophe stronger and wiser. Happy Easter !

Came across this rather relatable comment I made, when Adam was in Shanghai on a Talk Show.

Aha, Adam seems to have learnt the correct way of holding the chopsticks; this is the only way that allows the chopsticks to be mobilised without them getting entwined. It’s a kind of lever system with one chopstick supported and the other movable, up and down for picking even one grain of rice.
For more sinister use, a kungfu sifu / master can kill with a pointed pair of chopsticks which can be used to jab at the enemy using internal kungfu force. It was practised in ancient times and that skill may still be in existence.

Now, there’s some rumour-mongering circulating about *kungflu; well, I’ve news for the creative initiator using kungflu as a weapon; no not those kungfu killer-chopsticks mentioned above. Kungflu and Kungfu have something in common, they kill without you knowing what killed you because it happens when you least expect it and you are gone for good; extremely lethal ! 😷🥢

Chopsticks story…

Bert was driving through a lonely road on his way to meet a long-time friend whom he had not seen for many moons…wonder what he looks like now…reminisced Bert, stroking Pharaoh leaning against his arm. Suddenly…eeeeeeeek ! Bert jammed on his brakes as a car was speeding, overtaking him on the narrow road. Whoa! That was a close shave, Pharaoh howled Owooooo! Then a loud Bang ! He got out of the car holding Pharaoh tightly and ran to the spot where the loud Bang was emitted. Dead silence; what happened?

He got back to his car and went on his way to meet his one-time confidante. When he reached the address given to him by his friend, Bartholomew (Bart), he rang the doorbell. An elderly lady opened the door and asked what Bert wanted.

‘I’ve come to pay a visit to Bartholomew,’ he gave me this address on the phone. The lady looked perplexed and stammered…with tears in her eyes.
‘Bart died in a car crash last year; he was a daredevil F1 racer, won many trophies; alas, all it takes is just one fatalistic time; his car spun into the air as he turned the corner of the race-track; the engine caught fire; he managed to crawl out of the mangled burning wreckage; lay on the grass; paramedics rushed to douse the fire burning him.
The lady wiping away tears : ‘He didn’t make it, pronounced dead; my Son was always like that, pushed himself to the limit; that limit took his life.

Bert was so saddened by the tragic demise of his long-time confidante; he gave a consoling hug to Bart’s Mom and said : ‘Yes, madam, you are absolutely right, he always pushed himself to the limit.
‘But… I heard Bartholomew’s voice on the phone ! I would never forget that low husky voice.’
Then he felt an eerieness…what about that speeding car that screeched past him on the lonely road; what was that? It simply dissipated!

Bert gave Bart’s Mom his phone number for her to contact him if she needed help.
‘Pharaoh, say goodbye to madam’…Pharaoh stretched out his paw…Ooooeeh! he whimpered.

He then rummaged his satchel…lo and behold, took out a pair of chopsticks; Bart’s Mom was surprised as Bert handed them to her.
‘That’s the last thing he left me with, his pair of kungfu chopsticks; we used to attend kungfu sessions by a master who taught us how to use chopsticks for self-defence by mustering and channelling our body’s internal force through the chopsticks and use them as a weapon.
Bart’s Mom held them close to her heart with both hands, even though she rarely ate with chopsticks, feeling Bartholomew’s presence like he had returned to comfort her. 🥢
