HI HI TO ALL MY HAPPY ‘TAP” FAMILYYYY ❣️❣️❣️

I haven’t written to you all for such a long time and I do apologize so much for this. I don’t know how TIME FLIES the way it does!

I wanted to share some thoughts on this very momentous and memorable DAY in my life.. I am strolling into the BIG 6 ❤️ today!!! My BRAIN IS EMPTY!!

All I can think of is HOW GRATEFUL I am to the Universe, and to all of YOU, to my LOVING FAMILY, my INCREDIBLE FRIENDS… all this life has brought to me.. that our Planet is so beautiful and there is so much to be thankful and OPEN to.

After 60 years, chasing so many things, experiencing the excitement, ups and downs of almost all of life, months, weeks, days, minutes, seconds… and I realize, all I really desire and want, is a SIMPLE SMILE, WARMTH, UNDERSTANDING, A Heartwarming HUG, A phone call, or now, text to say HI… A Healthy and strong Body, LOTS & LOTS of LAUGHTER, CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION, LOVE, LOVE & LOVE. No matter what circumstances we run into, Rain, Thunder, Protests, Covid, it is absolutely possible to realize that ALL THINGS MUST PASS, and through the most difficult or most ravishing times, we can find comfort in holding the hands of those loving people around us. I know there is still so much more to learn while we are so BLESSED to be a VALUED GUEST on this Earth for such a fleeting moment. I feel I must keep on learning and evolving to be the BEST person I can be.

I realize that when we are born, we need so much love, feeding, nurturing, understanding, and a lot of HELP! When we get old, we need so much love, feeding, tolerance, patience, understanding, and a lot of HELP! There is no difference in the VALUE of each end of the stick. Just what we can do in between that will make ALL the difference and we all have a CHOICE in how we want to write our own, unique, wonderful, heartfelt STORY.

LIFE can be, and IS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL. The Beauty I used to understand doesn’t hold any meaning for me anymore.. The BEAUTY I HOLD TRUE is the LOVE & BEAUTY inside of ME and all the surroundings of the amazing Mother Nature. Each of us, is handcrafted so very intricately, to have all the same physical features, yet not a single one of us is a duplicate of another. We all have a brain to think, yet every single one of us does not think like any other. We ALL have a PATH, yet every one of our paths is different from each other. But we are ALL meticulously woven together, our lives, our actions are all intertwined. Every action we take, affects another. Every tree, every flower, mountain, sea, sky, clouds, animals, and all beloved creatures. We are the unique creatures, blessed with thinking, speaking & doing. I feel I must do everything I can to HONOR this special GIFT from Mother Nature. Beauty is DEEP & ROOTED & everywhere we look. I’m going to embrace everything PapaGOD & the Universe has given me.

I’m SO GRATEFUL for making it this far, in GOOD HEALTH, GOOD SPIRITS, GOOD MIND & BODY. Every day is a SURPRISE to me. Every moment is truly a BLESSING and ever so sacred. I will continue to live each BLESSED day with an open heart, open mind, and open SPIRIT. I will live each day as HIGH as I can go, no matter how low I feel. I will enjoy growing old GRACEFULLY, and make a conscious effort to do and BE the BEST I can be EACH SINGLE DAY, CHERISH & take care of it like a RARE and Beautiful JEWEL, which LIFE & our EARTH IS.

Today I spend with my LOVING FAMILY & MY FRIENDS. Well.. one loving Family is missing and in Mainland, now resting, but working VERY HARD! I’m so proud of Lam because we are so happy that he gets to SHARE his music with a WHOLE NEW GENERATION of wonderful, talented singers. It’s a GREAT BLESSING to sing with these enthusiastic Artists who can make a great difference in the world with their bellowing voices. I watch every episode with great anticipation and I hope you will too! All the Artists create their own Magic with each song & emotions!

I also would like to share with you my real and Authentic physical & Spiritual SELF!!! I just want to BE TOTALLY and ALL OF what is TRULY ME! I hope you all can accept me as I AM, white hair with my cutey wrinkles! Lam really enjoys it cos now I can keep him COMPANY & look like TWINS! I don’t know where my WHOLE self will go from here.. but I’m really going to look forward to all the natural progressions my mind and body will be taking.. just like Mother Nature.. she accepts all that comes to her and embraces it all…just as it is!

I wonder if I can remotely understand the meaning of life by now? I want to TAP (THINK ACTPOSITVE) at all times making others HAPPY & be HAPPY to see others HAPPY! I understand there is NO RIGHT or WRONG in any of our actions whether positive or negative, but only the divine consequences of those actions we choose. I feel we are BLESSED to be here with a DIVINE PURPOSE which is to help ourselves & each other. To preserve and maintain this amazing PLANET & EARTH. To evolve ourselves, & each generation, so they can pass the baton and also evolve the Earth! I also feel we are definitely NOT ALONE! NEVER! We are always in the SOOTHING, EMBRACING arms of the Divine Source Universe, and when we feel we don’t know where to turn, PapaGOD is ALWAYS there for us, ready to give us whatever we want in the deepest of our hearts with the utmost sincerity. Everything we receive is in its Divine Timing, and Divine Perfection.

With that.. HAPPYNESS & GREAT HEALTH TO ALL OF YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS and LOVE YOURSELF as well as LOVE ALL THOSE and EVERYTHING AROUND YOU! BELIEVE ME.. ALL WE HAVE and NEED IS LOVE!!!!

MUAH MUAH MUAH with 60 YEARS OF BLESSINGS! YEHHHHHH!!!!
ALL MY LOVE!! SALLY!!!

HI HI 快樂的 “TAP” 大家庭 ❣️❣️

已經很久沒有給大家寫信了，對此我深表歉意。不知道時間怎麼就這樣過去了!

我想在生命中這個非常重要和難忘的日子和大家分享一些想法和感觸 —— 今天我悠然邁入了以6字開頭的歲月!! ❤️ 大腦一片空白!!

我所能想到的是對上天，對你們每一位，對親愛的家人，對不可思議的朋友們 —— 對生命所贈與我的這一切 —— 所懷有的深深感激。我們所生活的星球如此美麗，實在有太多太多需要去感謝、感激，去敞開心扉擁抱。

60年過去了，我也曾經追逐過很多，在每月每週每日每分每秒中，經歷了生命可能賦予的幾乎所有激動和起落，而如今我意識到，自己真正渴望和想要的，只是一個簡單的微笑，溫暖，理解，一個暖心的擁抱，一通電話，或者現在更流行的，問好的一條短信.. 一個健康強壯的身體，很多很多笑聲，連結，交流，愛，愛，以及，愛。無論我們遇到怎樣的狀況 —— 下雨、雷電、抗議、疫情，一直要謹記於心的是，無論如何，這一切終將過去；在最困難或最開心的時刻，我們都能握住身邊人的手，並從中找到最大的安慰或共鳴。能得此幸運，在如此短暫的一剎，來到地球做她的尊貴旅客，我知道還有太多東西需要學習，感覺自己必須不斷學習成長，才能成為最好的自己。

我也意識到，出生的時候，我們需要很多愛，需要被餵食物，需要關懷、滋養、理解，需要很多幫助！變老後，我們也需要很多愛，需要被餵食物，需要寬容、耐心、理解，需要很多幫助！人生兩端的價值，並沒有任何分別。只有在中間段，我們能選擇如何去書寫屬於自己的，獨特的，精彩的，發自內心的故事；而也正是在中間段所做的選擇，決定了我們會有怎樣的人生。

生活可以，也確實是非常美麗的。我曾經所理解的美，對於現時的我而言，已經沒有了當初的意義。現在，我所抱持的真正的美，是內心的愛與美，以及令人驚嘆的大自然所賦予的，環繞著我們的一切。每個人都好似複雜精緻的手工藝品，雖然有著相同的身體特徵，但沒有一個人是另一個人的複製品。我們都有大腦可以思考，但每個人和其他人想的都不同。我們都有要走的人生之路，但每個人的道路各不相同。然而，大家又被如此精心地連結在一起，彼此的生活和行為交織在一起。我們採取的每一個行動，都不可避免地影響著他人，甚至影響著每一棵樹，每一朵花；影響著山、海、天空、雲朵、動物，和所有其他可愛生靈。我們是獨一無二的存在，有福氣擁有思考、講話和行動的能力。所以我感覺自己必須盡所能去致敬和珍視這份來自自然的特殊禮物。美深深根植於我們目光所及的每處。我將擁抱上天和世界贈與我的一切。

我很感激人生走到了這裡，健康，精神，頭腦和身體都很好。每一天對我來說都是驚喜。每一刻都是充滿祝福和神聖的。我將繼續以開放的心靈、開放的思想和開放的精神去過好每一天。我會盡力去把每天過到最好，儘管有時候也會感覺低落。我將享受優雅地變老，有意識地努力在每天做到自己的最好，也成為最好的自己，珍惜和照顧匆匆而過的每日，好似它們是稀有又美麗的珠寶；而其實，生命和地球也的確如此。

今天我會和我愛的家人們和朋友們一起度過。對的，一位有愛家人不在這裡，他在內地，現在有空休息一下，但一直都在非常努力地工作! 我為Lam 感到驕傲，因為大家都非常開心他有機會同新一代如此出色、才華橫溢的年輕歌手們分享他的音樂。與這些富有激情的藝術家們一起唱歌是一種巨大的幸福；年輕一代的歌聲將給這個世界帶來改變。每一期節目我都有充滿期待地觀看，希望你們也會看！所有的藝術家們都在用每首歌和感情創造著自己的魔法！

我也想和你們分享真實的自我——外在與內在，容貌及心靈!!! 我只想做完完全全的，真正的自己！希望你們能夠接受這樣的我，白頭髮，和可愛的皺紋! Lam 很喜歡我這樣，因為現在我可以和他作伴，我們看上去像雙胞胎! 我不知道我的整個自我會從這裡走向何方，但對接下來身心將會經歷的所有自然旅程，我真心期待… 就好像大自然一樣，她接受並擁抱一切如它們本初的樣子！

我好奇自己現在是否可以算作大概開始理解人生的意義呢？我想做TAP (THINK ACTPOSITVE)，隨時通過正面積極的思考和行動為他人帶去開心，而看到他人開心也會令我感到開心！我明白我們的任何行為，無論是積極或是消極的，都無關對錯；只是，不可避免的，選擇的行為都會帶來相應的結果。我感覺帶著神聖的目的來到這裡是一份福祉，而這個目的就是助人助己，是保護和維繫這個不可思議的星球，是持續進化發展自己和每一代人，這樣他們就可以繼續把進化地球的接力棒傳遞下去! 我也感覺到我們絕對不是孤獨的！從來都不是！我們一直都被上天撫慰著，擁抱在臂膀中。當感覺不知道如何走下去，上天總會在我們身邊，以最大的誠意給予我們內心深處最渴望的所有。我們得到的一切都有它神聖的時間表，都遵循著神聖的完美安排。

以上… 祝愿大家永遠幸福開心健康，愛自己，愛周圍的所有人，愛周圍的一切！相信我… 我們所擁有的和需要的一切，就是愛!!!!

MUAH MUAH MUAH with 60 YEARS OF BLESSINGS! YEHHHHH!!!!
ALL MY LOVE!! SALLY!!!

PS. 今晚我和最好的朋友們開了最棒的Party ❣️❣️❣️ 回到家後拍了幾張自拍，肯定會驚到你們 ❣️❣️❣️ 我的快樂第6個10年 💜 GIRL (⁉️) look❣️❣️❣️ 大家乾杯 ❣️❣️❣️🌹🌹🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

About Waves - an accidental EP I came up with about grief, when I was dealing with the sudden but terminal cancer and eventual death of my most beloved dog, Leif. I lost Leif to advanced lymphoma, and this is all I could do. Music, after all.

I don’t think I am able to perform these songs live. Maybe never. No one can ever tell you how long grief will last. As a matter of fact, no one should ever tell you how and when to feel. Take your time. Just remember, grief comes like waves, if you’re not standing on your feet, you might be swept away and never found again. In time, you might learn to let it become a part of you. You will learn to live again, with a whole new perspective. Or not.

I am sorry, you are all alone in feeling this, but you’re definitely not alone in this world.

Waves come and go. So does life.

Love lifts you up high, pain gives you weight to put your feet on the ground. You are only complete when you have truly experienced loss, but there’s no rush. In the meantime, may these songs give you some comfort, as they did to me.

Love,
Chet Lam

悼念的悲傷，會像潮水一樣來襲。

悼念就是愛。愛有多深，悼念就有多深。

這張有關接受死亡的專輯是一個意外。2021年6月，就在我知道只有八歲的小狗阿富患上末期淋巴癌的時候，我在音樂製作裏找到一點安慰與出口。

有多少心理準備以及理性分析，悲傷來的時候永遠會把你震撼，在受到巨大衝擊之後拾起碎片，你嘗試重新思考生命及生活。經驗不會對你有幫助，頂多只是讓你知道你自己有某些感覺神經，而每一次的體驗也是新鮮的；再多的意見和智慧都只是不設實際的雜音，世上沒有人可以告訴你怎樣感受，什麼方法才是對的，需要經歷多久… 這是一條很孤獨，而只能夠靠自己走的路。

更糟糕的是，它會用潮水的方式來襲，一下一下拍打你的心。我們不能阻止潮水的來去，唯一可以做的，就是感受，讓所有溫度濕度風雨陽光一一穿過你的身心，謙愻地活在這一刻。

給生命裏曾經失去過什麼的朋友，你並不是一個人。

一峰

=================================
スムーズな会話に欠かせない「Get」の基本用法
=================================
　
中学で教わった基本動詞の一つであるGet。「～を手に入れる」の意味で覚えている人も多いと思いますが、ネイティブの日常会話では実に様々な意味で非常によく使われる単語の一つです。今回は、知ってれば必ず日常会話で役立つ代表的なGetの用法をご紹介します！
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) 「〜もらう・受け取る」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
get の一つ目の基本イメージは、色々な物を手に入れることです。人から何かをもらったり、受け取ったりする時に使われ、receiveのより口語的な言い方として使われます。ちなみに、良いものだけでなく、get a speeding ticket（スピード違反で切符を切られる）のようによくないものを受け取るときにも使われます。
　
・get a present（プレゼントをもらう）

・get a message（メッセージ受け取る）

・get advice（アドバイスをもらう）
　
＜例文＞
　
I got a new laptop for my birthday.
（誕生日に新しいパソコンをもらいました）
　
I got a text from Mike and he said he's running 10 minutes late.
（マイクからショートメッセージがあって、１０分遅れるって）
　
Who do you usually get advice from?
（普段は誰からアドバイスをもらっているんですか？）
　
I got a speeding ticket this morning.
（今朝、スピード違反で切符を切られてしまいました）
　
また、人から何かをもらうだけでなく、自分で努力した結果何かを手に入れるときにも使われます。例えば、「仕事に就く・仕事が決まる」は get a job、「良い成績を取る」は get good grades、「昇進する」は get a promotionと表します。その他、getには「お金を得る」の意味合いもあり、「彼って月いくら稼いでいるの？」は「How much does he get a month?」のように表現します。
　
＜例文＞
　
It took me a couple of months but I finally got a job.
（数ヶ月間かかりましたが、やっと仕事が決まりました）
　
I got good grades when I was in high school.
（私は高校生のとき、成績がよかったです）
　
I heard you got a promotion. Congrats!
（昇進したんだって？おめでとう！）
　
It's an easy job. I get 20 bucks an hour just for watching the dogs.
（すごい楽な仕事だよ。犬の面倒を見るだけで時給２０ドルもらえるんだ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) 「～を買う」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
getは「〜を買う」の意味としても使われます。buy のより口語的な言い回しとして使われ、お金を払って何かを手に入れるニュアンスがあります。また、レストランでは「注文する」の意味としても使われ、友達に「何を注文するの？」と聞く場合は「What are you going to get?」と言います。さらに、getは「おごる」や「御馳走する」の意味で使うこともでき、「I'll get it.」の一言だけで「私がおごるよ」を意味します。
　
＜例文＞
　
I really like your scarf. Where did you get it?
（そのマフラーいいね。どこで買ったの？）
　
You already got the iPhone 12? Did you pre-order it?
（もうiPhone12を手に入れたの？予約したの？）
　
I'm thinking about getting the B.L.T sandwich. What are you going to get?
（私はBLTサンドイッチにしようかな。あなたは何を注文するの？）
　
Don't worry. I'll get it today.
（心配しないで。今日は僕がおごるよ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3) 「〜を取りに行く」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
何かを取りに行ったり、忘れ物を取りに戻ったりなど、物を取りに行って戻ってくるときに get が使われます。日常会話では、go and get ____ のように表すことが多く、例えば「僕が取り行くよ」は「I'll get it.」または「I'll go and get it.」両方のパターンで表すことができます。その他、「〜を迎えに行く」の意味としても使われ、友達に「迎えに来てくれる？」と聞く場合は「Can you get me?」または「Can you come and get me?」、「迎えに行くよ」は 「I'll get you.」もしくは「I'll go and get you.」と言います。
　
✔「迎えに行く」はgo and get、「迎えに来る」はcome and getで覚えましょう。
　
＜例文＞
　
I'll get it for you. What do you want to drink?
（僕が取りに行くよ？何飲みたい？）
　
I'm going to go and get Hiro from the train station.
（駅にヒロを迎えに行きます）
　
Oh no. I forgot my mask. I need to go back to the car and get it.
（ヤバイ、マスクを忘れちゃった。車に取りに戻らないと）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
4) 「〜を理解する」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
相手の言いたいことが分かったり、意図が理解できたときに英語ではよく「I get it.」と言います。ここでは相手のアイディアを「手に入れる」、要するに「理解する」ことを意味します。この表現は、「I don't get it.」のように否定形で使われることが多く、相手の言いたいことが理解できなかったり、冗談が分からない時に使われます。
　
＜例文＞
　
I think I'm starting to get it. Let me practice a little more.
（なんとなく分かってきた気がします。もうちょっと練習します）
　
Why is that funny? I don't get it.
（何がそんなに面白いの？私には理解できない）
　
Do you get what he's saying? It makes no sense to me.
（彼が言っていることわかる？私には全然意味が分かりません）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
5) 「〜に到着する」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
get は「着く」や「到着する」も意味し、日常会話では arriveの代わりによく使われます。例えば、待ち合わせに遅れてきた友達が「Sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting long?（遅れちゃってごめんね。だいぶ待った？）」と言った時は、「No, I just got here too.（ううん、僕も今着いたところだよ）」と言う具合に返事をするといいでしょう。
　
＜例文＞
　
There's so much traffic. What time do you think we'll get there?
（すごい渋滞だね。何時ぐらいに到着すると思う？）
　
Have a safe flight! Message me when you get to Okinawa.
（気をつけて行ってきて。沖縄に着いたらメッセージ送ってね）
　
I got home, took a shower and went straight to bed.
（家に帰ってシャワーを浴びてその後すぐに寝ました）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
6) 「〜になる（状態が変化する）」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
getは状態の変化を表す時にも使われ、「〜になる」を意味します。状態の変化を表す時は一般的に getting ____ の形式が使われ、例えば、「疲れてきた」は 「I'm getting tired.」、「お腹が空いてきた」は「I'm getting hungry.」、「寒くなってきた」は「It's getting cold.」のように getting の後には形容詞がフォローします。
　
その他、「〜しやすい」をget ____ easilyと表現することができ、例えば、「私が暑がりです」は「I get hot easily.」、「彼は飽きっぽい」は「He gets bored easily.」、「彼女は嫉妬深い」は「She gets jealous easily.」のように表現します。
　
＜例文＞
　
I'm getting hungry. Do you want to grab dinner soon?
（お腹空いてきたな。そろそろ夕食に行かない？）
　
It's getting chilly these days. It's starting to feel like autumn.
（最近、肌寒くなってきました。秋めいてきましたね）
　
I carry around a blanket with me because I get cold easily.
（私は寒がりなのでいつも毛布を持ち歩いています）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
7) 「病気になる」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
風邪を引いたり、インフルエンザにかかったり、病気になる時にもgetが使われます。例えば、「風邪を引いた」は「I got a cold.」、「インフルエンザにかかった」は「I got the flu.」、「彼は病気になった」は「He got sick.」と言います。ちなみに、「頭痛がする」は「I got a headache.」、「熱がある」は 「I got a fever.」、「喉が痛い」は「I got a sore throat.」のように表します。
　
＜例文＞
　
It sounds like you got the flu. Drink a lot of water and rest up.
（インフルエンザにかかったみたいだね。たくさん水分を取ってゆっくり休むんだよ）
　
My cat got sick and I had to take him to the vet yesterday.
（私の猫が病気になって、昨日動物病院に連れて行かないといけませんでした）
　
I think I got a cold. I got a fever and a sore throat.
（風邪を引いたと思います。熱があり、喉も痛いです）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
8) 「どうにかして～させる」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
この表現は、人に何かをしてもらう時、または人に何かをさせる時の両方で使われますが、相手を説得したり騙したりするなど「どうにかして」何かをさせるニュアンスが含まれます。例えば、薬を飲みたくない子供を説得して飲ませる場合は「I got my child to take the medicine.（子供に何とかして薬を飲ませました）」と表します。
　
＜例文＞
　
I finally got my dad to stop smoking cigarettes.
（なんとかしてやっとお父さんにタバコをやめさせました）
　
I can't get my son to do his homework. What do you think I should do?
（何をしても息子が宿題をやりません。どうしたらいいと思いますか？）
　
My cat pees all over the house. How can I get her to pee in her litter box?
（私の猫は家中におしっこをします。どうしたら猫のトイレでおしっこをしてくれると思いますか？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
9) 「〜する機会を得る」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
　
get to do somethingは「〜する機会を得られる」を意味し、have the opportunity toのより口語的な言い方として使われます。例えば、「国際交流パーティーでいろいろな人たちとお話しすることができました」と言いたい場合は「I got to talk with a lot people at the international exchange party.」のように表現し、got to の後には動詞が続きます。ここでは、I got an/the opportunity to ____ と表現することもできますが、日常会話ではan/the opportunityを省くことがよくあります。
　
＜例文＞
　
I got to travel all over the world in my twenties.
（私は20代の時に世界中を旅行することができました）
　
Did you get to see the autumn leaves when you were in Japan?
（日本滞在中に紅葉を見ることはできましたか？）
　
At the spring training camp, I got to meet some of the Dodgers' players.
（スプリングトレーニングで何人かのドジャース選手に会えました）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
10) Get + 前置詞の組み合わせ
--------------------------------------------------
　
getはいろいろな前置詞と組み合わせて使うことができます。例えば、「電車に乗ろう」は「Let's get on the train.」、「バスを降りよう」は「Let's get off the bus.」、「プールに入ろう」は「Let's get in the pool.」、「ここから出よう」は「Let's get out of here.」と言う具合に表現します。getと前置詞を組み合わせて使う場合は「動いている」イメージになります。
　
＜例文＞　
　
Get on bus number 10 and it'll take you to downtown.
（10番バスに乗れば繁華街まで行きます）
　
This place is way too crowded. Let's get out of here.
（ここは混み過ぎだ。出ましょう）
　
Which stop are we getting off on? Is it the next one?
（どの駅で降りるの？次の駅？）

This week we're answering a question from Eva about fluency and my thoughts on videos where people claim to be fluent within weeks. Here are my honest opinions.

The Hungarian news interview I mentioned can be seen here: https://lifetv.hu/teljes-adasok/2021/05/28/legszebb-nyelv-a-vilagon-elkepesztoen-beszel-magyarul-a-del-afrikai-lany/4007

For videos I've made about fluency before, take a look here:
When are you fluent in a language? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InsHG_lMcC0
How long does it take to be fluent? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oBd2xllMLY

What are your thoughts?

Timestamps:
0:00 Intro and life updates + Hungarian TV interview
1:52 Today's question is...
2:50 My thoughts about fluency
3:19 "Fluent in 1 week" videos are misleading
4:48 Progress in a week versus in years
6:16 How should we measure fluency?
7:24 How should we think about languages

Premolar extraction is common in Orthodontic (Braces) treatment. ?
Wonder how long exactly does it take to take out your teeth? In simple & straightforward cases like this...less than a minute!

However, some tooth can be tricky to remove, especially when it has long, bulbous or curvy roots! Root canal treated tooth tend to be more brittle as well and that can increase the difficulty of extraction.

Now the question of the day...is it painful?
With proper anesthesia, you shouldn’t feel any pain apart from mild pressure! ?

Hope y’all learned something new today!

Aqua Facial Experience at ClearSK Aesthetics | Best Aesthetic Clinic Singapore #Shorts

Aqua Clear Skin Facial For Clear Skin
Achieve a visible glow and clearer skin with Aqua Acne Peel, based on the Aqua ST system. This treatment provides both non-invasive exfoliation and delivery of topical solutions safely and painlessly to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate the skin. The Aqua ST system allows customers to achieve optimum results at an accelerated basis, without the complications and discomfort usually associated with invasive procedures.

Our Aqua Acne Peel is unique because it does not use crystals or other abrasive particles that can irritate the skin. This eliminates the risk and health concerns of aluminium-based crystals associated with particulate abrasion.

Key Highlights

Exfoliation and topical infusion happen simultaneously
Three spiral treatment tips are used for optimal results
LED display allows precise vacuum and flow settings
Customisable to suit customer’s skin condition
Depending on the type of skin conditions, our medi-aestheticians would then advise on the best topical solution to treat the skin.

Possible topical solutions to customise treatment include:

Aqua SA (Salicylic Acid) Solution: A skin solution specially formulated to treat oily and acne prone skin.
Aqua ST AS (All-Skin) Solution: A skin solution that cleanses deeply, while softening sebum and impurities to aid in extraction. Dead cells are dislodged for effective exfoliation, providing residual hydration, which results in firming and smoothing fine lines.
Aqua ST AO (Antioxidant) Solution: A skin solution specially formulated to combat free radicals and environmental damage to the skin cells. Contains stabilized Vitamins A, E & White Tea Extract.
What is the treatment like?

A diamond tip with applied suction will be moved against the skin and a mild pulling sensation can be felt as the process to exfoliate keratinised skin is underway. After removal of the dead skin, two or three layers of serum is applied onto the skin and this may cause a slight warm and tingly sensation.

How long will it take to see results?

We recommend between 6-10 sessions at 2 to 4-week intervals for the best and long-lasting results to be seen.

Who is suitable for this treatment?

This technology is also suitable for people with dark skin tones who are looking for an all-in-one solution to their skin concerns, such as photo damage, acne or brown acne marks, clogged pores and congestion, dehydrated and dull skin, and uneven skin tones.

Though suitable and safe for most people, we advise customers who are sensitive to exfoliating solutions and exfoliators or have a sensitivity towards diamond peel treatments to consult our medi-consultants for a more thorough analysis.

Complementary Treatments

Lazer Acne Clear Facial
Lazer Whiten Facial
Cosmetic Laser
PulsedLight Acne Clear
Laser Acne Clear
Are there any side effects?

This treatment is safe enough for most people and there are no known side effects. However, if the skin has not been properly moisturised or hydrated before treatment, or is generally dry and thin, there may be some irritation or abrasions.

Post Treatment Care

There is no specific post-treatment care required. However, we always remind our customers to apply sunblock of at least 30 SPF regularly after facial treatments to protect the new skin that has surfaced.
