THE HAPPIEST THING

This blog

was created

to fulfill the final wish

of dear little Wen-ning

who had always wanted

her own personal blog ........

Unfortunately

.......  she passed away

in  a tragic car accident

at the young tender age

...... of 10 years .... and 10 months

Wen-ning was born

with 2 holes-in-the-heart

But over time

with lots of love & care

from everyone around her

..... the defects healed .....

and she was able

to lead a normal life

..... growing up

into a cheerful

and zestful little girl

....and creating

lots of joy and happiness

and sheer enlightenment

to everyone around her .....

To feel

and to connect with

the mesmerizing aura

that this sacred blog evokes

............   just click on the video

and listen to Wen-ning's idol

singing her favourite song

.....The Happiest Thing

Today is August 10

it is Wen-ning's birthday

she would be 11 years old now

Happy Birthday ..... Wen-ning

you are really

THE HAPPIEST THING .........

 

............

WHEN YOU WERE A BABY ....

When you were a baby

cries of hunger filled the air

we held you in our arms

and fed you milk and care

When you were a baby

we changed your nappies everyday

so that you are comfortable

and healthy down there

When you were a baby

we gave you warm baths daily

cleaning and wiping you

till you smiled gleefully

We cajoled you

and we played with you

everyday was a delight

like a brand new you

Sometimes you'll cry endlessly

and we'll hold you lovingly

singing you a lullaby

till you sleep like a baby

at times, your cries were scary

and it made us worry

....why are you crying ?

....why are you suffering ?

So off to the clinic we go

and it's just a minor ailment

....nothing to worry

erasing our predicament

When you were a baby

you were our pride & joy

our dear little darling

our cute little Wen-ning .......

TODDLING ALONG

When you were a toddler

you don't have to crawl

for it's time to walk

and it's time to fall

And when you fell

we propped you up again

helping you to walk

so that things are not in vain

With each little step

that you moved forward

it gave you hope

you are not going backwards

And with each fall

that ended up in pain

it symbolizes the struggle

of enduring life again

And when you could run

it was so much fun

to see you being set free

amidst your playing spree .........

MY EVERYTHING

Wen-ning

... my daughter

... my little girl

my one ... and only one

Wen-ning

... my friend

... my companion

... my confidante

Wen-ning

... my roommate

... my housemate

... my playmate

Wen-ning

... my hope

... my light

... my purpose in life

Wen-ning

... my pride

... my joy

my everything

CAN YOU STILL BE THERE ?

If life is fair

you wouldn't go away

and leave us all

in sadness and despair

If life is fair

you would live another day

let us fulfill your wishes

and not just stop there

If life is fair

we'll still be one small family

you....daddy.....and mummy

living together ......happily

If life is fair

you'll always be there

in our hearts & in our soul

a priceless gem that can't be sold

If life is fair

you'll grow up one day

see your dreams come true

and enriching everyone too

...but life is not fair

you have been taken away

and we can only ask

can you still be there ?

HER WISHES

In the past few weeks before her departure

Wen-ning wished for the following :

1) To be able to plant a papaya tree...and see it grow

2) To draw her favourite idol

3) To have a new pencil case

4) To have her own blog

5) To have her own laptop

6) To have a new and bigger bicycle

7) To play a game of draught and badminton

8) To walk with her best friend to secondary school

9) To score 7 As .....and go to university

10) To visit all the places she used to go in her younger days

11) To celebrate her 11th birthday on August 10

Wen-ning has gone .....





it is too late to fulfill her wishes now






And we can only regret




that we did not listened to her




....nor pay more attention to her







and gave her




the time and space




plus the little things




that she had wished for .....







If you have enjoyed reading this blog




.... and have made a connection to her







or perhaps




been moved by the contents




.... and have shed a tear or two








finding some similarities




in what this blog evokes




with your own life




..... and the lives of your kids





as well as




the lives of your loved ones .......








then please remember





to post your final comment





....and say a thoughtful prayer







to dear little Wen-ning ....







She may be gone




but the wonderful memories





and her lingering legacy




shall live on ......

THE ROLLING WAVES

Like the sea waves

that arrive in unison

reaching the sea shore

then disappearing into the horizon ......

Life is like a big wave

.......that comes and go

Today it may be yes

tomorrow it may be no ........

So make the best

of what you have today

before fate decides to

take them all away ........

IF MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN

If a flower is meant to bloom

why must you fade

and left us all ..... in gloom ?

If the sun can rise

after the morning dew

why must you say goodbye & adieu ?

If the rain can stop

and give an air of freshness

why do we end up with tears of sadness ?

If a child can grow up

be a teenager....and an adult

why can't you have the same result ?

If miracles can happen

why doesn't it happen now ?

KARMA .....AND CHARISMA

We came to this world ..... as one

and leaved behind all the things we want

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But when we give

we shall also receive

and the more we give

..........the more we shall receive

All the good deeds that we do

the compassion that we show

the love & care that we share

shall translate

and blossom into an

abundance of good karma

and enrich our own charisma

Anyone can go to heaven

......just be good ...........

SPARE A THOUGHT

As she walked down the beaten corridor

....she saw the handicapped man

without legs .....begging for help

The few adults

walking ahead of her

just walked faster......

on reaching the poor man

Yet

the young girl stopped

took out her Hello Kitty wallet

and gave a dollar to him

The money

was small change to those adults

But it was

what the girl had saved

from her school pocket-money

......over the past few days ......

And she gave it away

willingly.....whole-heartedly......compassionately

.......without thinking twice .......

.......and the young girl was

our beloved Wen-ning ........

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LIGHT

In the still of the night






where darkness prevails






...... the blind can still see











When lightning strikes





and the thunder explodes






....... the deaf can still hear












and when everyone yelled






.....in the big noisy stadium







the dumb can still whisper











miracles .....







can still happen












perhaps not in this life







but in the next life .....







..... in another life ......











So hold on







to your faith







and your love







for your loved ones










.... for at the end






of each and every tunnel









....there will always be light ....







....

WHAT GOOD IS MONEY ?

Money can buy us food





and things that make us feel good









When we have a simple house






we want a big bungalow






then a mansion....and a palace













When we have a cheap car







we want a new BMW







then a Porsche .... and a Ferrari










When we travel by car







we want to fly






economy ....first class....private jet









When we have enough to eat





we'll always leave behind leftovers






and then want a 10-course dinner








When we have a hundred bucks






we want a hundred thousand






then a million....and tens of millions









But what is money






if it can't buy us happiness







..... just a life of sadness & emptiness ?










What good is money





if it can't buy our loved one's wishes






....... only to see the cremation ashes ?










Money only satisfy






our outside cravings






..... but not our inner being











It can't replace the gift of life






it can't bring back the one we love






what good is money then ?
