Ah Ma, 1940-2022

 Been 49 days since you've gone

on 3/8 IWD too, how app- you're one of the strongest ladies I know



For all the kisses I forgot to give,

For all the time we had to grieve..


Like the flowers you potted and groomed, 

Your tough love caused our souls to bloom..


You smacked us when we didn't finish our food,

You never said so but it's for our own good..


You showed us how women can be strong,

And then pawned our asses in mahjong..


Weeping about how your books were burned, 

You taught me how lucky I was to be learned..


Pouring your wisdom way downstream,

In us, you inspired many big dreams..


Though I hope you're in a better place,

These memories we have will always stay..

EDIT 202107: So.. I've passed CP1 and I thought it's a good time to republish this  ________________ I have a lot to say about the study methods, but I think I'll share them here only after I've passed cause I mean.. if I fail you probably wouldn't want to learn/know my methods but here are some general exam tips  EDIT: I have decided to apply what I've learned in CP1 and structure this post based on ACC :D 1. Preamble   This is IFoA's 3rd (arguably 2nd) attempt at online papers for CP1,  2.

Chmel and Friends - Sharon

母亲的爱，像一座高山， 蕴藏着深深的情感关怀， 就像春天里盛开的花朵， 从天地之间绽放而来。 女儿勇敢地闯荡世界， 激情像燃烧的火焰一样， 不愿受束缚，自由自在， 在风中自由地飞翔。 我们的道路不一样， 她在人生的舞台上奋斗， 母亲心里忧虑满满， 但却爱她永远不变。 当阴云遮挡视线， 母亲温柔地拍拍我的头， 只希望我能回家， 心情一直挂念。 看着我成长，像花儿开放， 偷偷地流下眼泪， 她的眼中隐藏着秘密， 风雨无法阻挡， 她的爱永远无边。 虽然道路曲折， 但爱会一直陪伴着你， 母亲守候在你身边， 爱你永不停息。

Psalm 84:10

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. It's been almost 500 days since I've left my full time job and man was it a journey.. thinking back of those days without my Lord, I really felt this verse speak to me. At first, guilt and shame overcame (more on that next time) - what did you do with these 500 days? What did you accomplish?  But God is gentle and kind - he spoke to me that 500 days on earth is no better than half a day in his courts. How many of us have had a bad half day? Does it affect the rest of our lives? Does it have an impact on eternity? If not, why should I let the enemy use guilt to over power me? A thousand days cannot compare to one day in your courts I'm forever yours <3
