The ever changing political moves

In view of recent political turmoil in Malaysia, some might have lost hope. Of course, most of us were shocked, angry, confused. Regardless the outcome of the situation, as a believer, we should entrust all these to the hand of the Lord. And we pray that God will deliver us from this uncertainty. Perhaps a wise quote by Gandalf (from The Lord of The Rings) can be a good comfort and encouragement. It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.      -  J.R.R. Tolkien -

The year of the rat, 2020

As usual, lion dance is a must during Chinese New Year. This year we didn’t get to see many performances, even in Sandakan during Chap Goh Mei. Probably no good luck in spotting the lion dance troupe. Anyway, as always, shopping malls in Klang Valley will be the best venue to catch the lion dance performance (although I still prefer the performance by the Sabahan lion dance troupe back in Sabah). Nowadays, kids are rushing to get blessing from the lion after the performance (in Klang Valley). As a result, my younger son has not been able to get the “blessing” (in the form of mandarin orange). Too competitive for the kids though.
