In Loving Memory of MUMARU SAMA 🤍
Translated by Everyday English with Maya
17.12.2020
Every year, December 17th is an incredibly special day for our family, MUJI SAMA. Muji, our only beloved dog, is turning 5 today. He’s not a little puppy anymore. Our memories of him being a young, playful puppy have begun to fade away now as his personality has matured into adulthood, which also means we must pay attention to his health. As long as he’s still alive, we will continue to take great care and strive to optimise his health as much as we can.
It has been a year since Muji got his teeth cleaned. We noticed that plaque and tartar on his teeth starting to irritate his gums, so we took this day as an opportunity to get a check up on his teeth and general health. We then thought that bringing Mumaru - our cat, to the hospital to be neutered was also a logical thing to do. Only little we know, our special day, December 17th, for the past 5 years has turned into the saddest day for our family. Mumaru has just passed away today. He has left us forever. There is a hope in a mist of our sorrow that we will overcome the grief like we have done in the past with other family members. We didn’t expect him to leave us so soon. It is so unexpected as there was no sign that his health had deteriorated.
To those who followed us for some time, we hope you notice that when it comes to their wellbeing, we always choose the best options for our fur babies. Neutering male cats reduces the incidence of prostate cancer and also for Mumaru, it would deter him from mating with his own sibling, Mumi. Sadly, Mumaru had a server allergic reaction to the anaesthesia during the operation, which caused a sudden death. Being a short-nosed and flat-faced cat breed with an exotic short hair, increases the chance of respiratory complications associated with anaesthesia. The vet and his team tried their best to save his life, and they did the best they could.
There is nothing we can say to express how sad we are that he is gone. We just want to thank him for being such a great cat that always brought joy to anyone that encountered him. His agreeableness and high sense of being affectionate converted those who are scared of cats to become a cat lover. Mumaru liked to be picked up or held, even with any strangers, and this had never ever terrified him. Mumaru in our clingy, hugging my arm, refusing me to work cat video became a viral internet sensation in this video. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=500551120630272
You always had one facial expression in the countless photos that we took of you Mumaru. You never destroyed the belongings. There are many endless definitions of you, our dearest Mumaru.
There is an interesting fact that funny and cute cat’s videos can actually ease anxiety and depression. It was mentioned to us that Mumaru’s video clips have helped some people get through their days when they were down. This might not be the greatest invention in the world but small bits count. We wish that our tiny drop of positivity can reinforce that in this world, life is worth living. The same goes to those pet owners who understand the emotionally attached bonds we have to our pets.
Our goodbye message for Mumaru:

ได้ยินเสียง 'ผู้ใหญ่' หลายคนเป็นห่วงว่า 'คนรุ่นใหม่' จะตัดสินใจเลือก 'ผิด' อันนี้ก็ชวนให้สงสัยว่า อะไรคือสิ่งยืนยันและทำให้มั่นใจนักหนาว่า ตัวเลือกของตนเองคือสิ่งที่ 'ถูก'
2
จากที่ได้คุยกับคนรุ่นที่เพิ่งมีโอกาสเลือกตั้งครั้งแรก (18-21 ปี) พอจะจับความรู้สึกได้ว่า เขารู้สึกรู้สากับบรรยากาศรอบตัวซึ่งเกิดขึ้นในช่วงที่เขาไม่ได้เลือก เมื่อมีโอกาสเลือกตั้งจึงต้องการเลือกในสิ่งที่ตนเชื่อว่าน่าจะดี ซึ่งคำตอบว่า 'ดี' นั้นก็หลากหลาย

Hearing many ' Adult s' are worried that ' new generation ' will decide to choose ' wrong '. This one asks you to wonder what is confirmed and ensure that their choice is ' right '
2
From talking to a generation who just had the first election chance (18-21 years), he felt that he felt about the atmosphere around which happened during the time he didn't choose. When there was a chance to vote, he wanted to choose what he believed would be good. The answer is 'good' is a variety.
3
Think and similar to ' Adult ' in an atmosphere without prejudice. When it comes to election opportunity, we will decide from government work. Before that. If you like it, choose that party again. If you don't like it, turn to try another party. There is no gods or permanent devil. You are good at not following the policy that you said or the cuddle-Function Corps will change your mind.
4
The new generation is based on the current government's work. Their vote will reflect how he feels. (no one knows the result, only some adult concerns)
5
The need for what values and value in each person's life. Each age is different. Taking the value that you hold to judge the value of others is a bit ' not honoring ' (don't want to use the word insult) when we are in the era. All ages have access to the news. Maybe - the new generation may even have access to new resources than some predecessors.
6
When the constitution determines over the age of 18, it means he is a self-thought citizen and imposed to show his will. He chooses what he values, what is the value for him and what he wants to see. In this country which... is his country as much as the elders.
7
The important point is that we should not divide the people into ' Adult ' and ' young generation ' because the way to look like this is risky to use proverbs that follow adults. Dogs don't bite or adults. Hot shower before. It's worth the birth before senior knows better. Better, smarter. Even thinking about virtue more
8
I don't mean that the new generation is better than nothing. I just want to say that we should think that the voters at any age is equal status. Adults have adult value. The new generation has value. There are many ideas, beliefs that are true. It's not. Can be divided by ' age '. It's a matter of background and focus on something different.
9
The more you draw, the more you create conflict. The world is not divided by 'age' in each group. There is a variety. Putting signs for each other to create conflict for Maya City.
10
The most important thing is that we all should honor and respect the opinions and choose of different people from us, whether he is a young generation, women, gender, poor, rich, handicapped people, other provinces, yellow shirts, red shirts, etc.
11
'honoring' means that his 1 VOICE IS EQUAL TO OUR 1 voices.
12
If you want to convince those who think differently from us, convince by giving information, not to oppress you that I know better. I am more virtue or you were born later. These things besides not being able to change your mind and also create a line for two sides to spread. More and more and more.
13
We all were young people before. We both know that when adults say he knows better, it doesn't make us want to listen to him. Ask you to smile weak and smh with adults who like to use ' Adult ' to oppress.
14
The world has changed. We have to accept that the difference is made more ' equal ' every day. When everyone realizes their own ' right ' to act, check and objection without thinking he is older than me. He is more powerful than me. He is a man I'm a girl, he's high school, I study less, etc.
15
Because older people don't mean to be a good person, powerful people do wrong, think a lot of bad things. Good education people are not that they think good to everyone. When it's like this, we can't ' surrender ' and ' believe ' anyone who says they are ' better ' better ' Someone else if you don't have a chance to check it out
...
16
What is the advantages to realize your own 'rights' and equality for me? Then this brings honor as human beings.
17
I just went to make a list of life areas in South Korea, a country that has been talked about as a transition from a long military government to strong democracy. (of course, there are many dimensional problems like in many countries, but there are things to learn)
18
With the basis of Confucius cult, South Korea, there is a similar to Thai similarity in the old days. Social Hierarchy is very focused. The crew must listen to the boss. Students should not argue. Teachers, teachers, female must respect men, children must obey parents,
19
Those things have beauty and good things, but there are bad sides too. For If those who should respect ' do wrong, it is difficult for those who have lower status to fight. But these values have changed quite.
20
While I travel to Seoul National University (number one university in South Korea), there was a student protest in front of the chancellor building. In Case a male teacher uses words and touch to abuse. Many students come out to gather together. Ask the university to manage the university. There is an important tv channel.
21
I have a chance to talk to Thai teachers who teach Thai language to South Korea. The teacher told me that when teaching, you need to be careful of words. Because if you speak sensitive or disrespectful things, it may be complained by students like examination. It must be very thoughtful if I have scored less than I thought. I would write a complaint letter to the teacher to explain. Everyone takes care of their rights. Not let anyone take advantage of or do bad things for themselves
22
These things make the teacher not think that they are big or more powerful than our students are equal. Just have different duties. But the rights in life are not high, low. You can check it out.
23
This kind of equality brings honor of humanity. He is younger. It's not that we can do anything to him. Men are not to abuse young women on a whim.
24
The more you honor, the more power in us will be reduced, the power against respecting the thoughts and humanity of others.
25
In Thailand, there is also complaints and keeping rights like this. What is considered is the result when complaint. When criticize or examining someone who has more powerful than that person is taken care of.
26
Not accepting election results by thinking that another group of less knowledge or less virtue reflects the level of respect of social friends as well.
27
In a society where many people are so normal for us to like. Different. Choose different. What we should realize is the ancient idea. Melody " I know better " or " I am higher " how often does it come up in our hearts? What we use to support. That belief that self is better than higher than it is, age? Experience? The number of gray hair? Qualifications? Being a city man? Status? Or what? Are those ' Maya s' that we use to fool ourselves that we should have more rights than other lives?
28
Do we believe that every life has the potential to learn. It's not different from us. Let him choose him to try wrong and learn to choose a new one. Just like we used to choose right and choose wrong.
29
More than that, how do we know what we say is good for him?
30
Which is right - wrong. Good-bad for choosing a leader is hard to judge many good people. When power becomes bad people. It doesn't mean cheating only. Even if it's bad, using power in the wrong way. imposed others is not good too.
31
More important than choosing ' good person ' or ' choose right ' is to choose and have the right to check, ask, ask, criticize.
32
These need citizens who believe in their rights and protect their rights. Choose and continue to check.
33
But how can we expect citizens who realize their rights if we keep intimidating others that they are stupid to choose that. Don't know that choose like that and say that you have to choose like me only to be right. This is the idea that doesn't honor different people. Very corny.
34
This election should be a good opportunity for us to start exploring our own thoughts when we hear which party this person chooses. Which party do we feel, how do we feel about him. Hold yourself big or honor the difference.
35
The reason to honor other people's thoughts because that is honoring him by honoring each other. It will create a better atmosphere than intimidating each other, because that may be the foundation of how some people see that they are better than others. It may be. The Root of how men disrespect women by thinking that it's okay. Seniors punish juniors when they accept the younger brother and think it's normal. People are better than insulting people until without knowing. For a better society, it has to start by giving the same person to honor his thoughts
36
Seeing a lot of people coming out to pre-election. I feel excited about using the rights of friends, brothers and sisters in society. I want to support the new generation (of course, all generations) who just had a chance to go out to use the first election rights in my life. I want I want to listen to your voice. It may be different from me. But no matter what I choose, I will honor and count every voice equal to one of my own voice.
37
I don't think I know better. Don't believe that the value I hold is more important than the value that the kids hold or see that it's good and also see that we still have to exchange. Learn from each other on a long path that we have to try wrong. Try right and correct. Let's develop together
38
A path called " democracy
39
Democracy is not just about going to be bad and dropping the election card. If it is to realize your rights and honoring other people's rights, not only the right to election, but also means everyday rights in every dimensions.
40
The Beauty of democracy is here. It is an atmosphere that no one can abuse another. Just because they are different. Don't think the same, don't like each other, but we have to respect each other's humanity rights
When so, there will be no ' Adult ' or ' young generation '.
There are only 'people' who honor each other.Translated

我命非天排,一切自己來
FOR ALL SINGLE-PARENT CHILDREN OUT THERE
I have seen clients who are from single-parent families. They tend to have a very pessimistic view of the world and more suspicious of others.
They think they can never be happy for long. That happiness will forever eschew them. And they get very negative as soon as they have a taste of happiness.
I know that emotional yoyo like the back of my hand. For I share the same family background as them.
What makes it worse is people around them look down on my clients.
Say for my woman clients, their in-laws sometimes smirk at them for coming from single-parent backgrounds.
I find it ridiculous. For which child would want to grow up without one parent by his/her side? Why should my client be penalised for her parents having an unsuccessful marriage?
I had the good fortune never having to face such discrimination before in my life.
Maybe because I manage to complete my university education under very adverse circumstances and that gave me a head start in life.
But some of my clients:
1) Were juvenile deliquents
2) Never completed secondary school
3) Ran away from home during their teenage days
4) Mixed with bad company
5) Had occupations that can never be spoken aloud
6) Were badly abused and couldn't be healthy emotionally
They continued to have a very rough life because they couldn't break out from the cycle of poverty.
And on the end of the spectrum, I see some male clients being very irresponsible in their relationships. They have a hard time trying to stay faithful, despite craving for family stability.
One of them ask me, "How did you manage to break out from this self-destructive cycle of living and have such a normal and happier life than most of us?"
My answer:
I had never wanted to destroy myself, right from the start.
As a little girl, I couldn't wait to grow up. I have no fond memories of my childhood.
Too many times, I wanted to run away from home or commit suicide and end my wretched life. I had a diary where I analysed all possible ways of dying. I wasn't even 10.
But I pushed on and stayed. I knew it was the right thing to do, even though it was very torturous for me.
I just waited my time.
Some say I am lucky that I can study, compared to some of them. Yes, you're not wrong to say that. But studying got progressively harder for me since junior college, where I was failing Econs, Maths and GP like tumbling dominoes.
I was under a lot of stress. The family abuse never stop even as I grew older.
The only thing that pushed me back then, was I was die-hard determined to carve a future for myself.
I wanted to get a good job and start a business.
I wanted to marry a good man and set up a stable family.
I would not allow my children to grow up in a single-parent family nor go through the pain I had.
By hook or by crook, I will singlehandedly make it happen. I don't need anyone's sympathy or donations.
That was the vision I had when I was a kid.
The first time I really felt a stranger care was when my secondary school (I was from Henderson) sent us single-parent children to counselling.
The counsellor was a petite young lady with long permed hair, from Club Rainbow.
Every week, she would come to our school and spend one hour talking to us.
There were 3 of us, me and my 2 Indian girl classmates. We weren't the problematic kind. In fact, our academic work was above average.
I thought it was annoying for the school to send me to counselling. I didn't think I have any emotional problem that I can't handle. I was 14, for goodness sake.
The first time the counsellor asked us to draw a picture that represented ourselves, I drew a rooster caught in the thunderstorms. All drenched and miserable. I ended up blubbering during the session.
To my dismay, I gradually looked forward to the weekly sessions with my counsellor.
Once, she even brought all 3 of us to the Zoo.
I can't remember her name, but till now, more than 25 years on, I still have a soft spot towards Club Rainbow.
And that time, when my SAJC form teacher, Ms Yow, helped pay for my school fees first, because my mum couldn't give me the money.
...When HDB didn't take back our home, despite the inability to pay up...
...When our MP wrote a letter to plead for us...
...When PUB didn't throw us into court, when we reconnected our own utilities supply (many times) after being cut off. My first lesson in circuitry...
...When NUS grant me an extra bursary to help with my university expenses...and I use it to buy my very first computer for project work...
It is little moments like these in my life, that spurred me on when I felt like giving up.
Having received so much help from so many strangers, how could I turn astray and be a good-for-nothing?
How could I speak bad of the government, even when it had its shortcomings?
Gratitude, even though at times reluctantly, had a huge influence on me.
And my unwillingness to bow down to my fate.
At the end of the day, I still wanted to be filial to my parents.
That's how I fought till today.
The biggest game changer was of course learning the Dharma from Shifu and my Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian Sheng. It gave me unprecedented clarity into the workings of karma and destiny. Instead of continuing to fight against my destiny, I learnt to accept it and improve from there, by walking the Eightfold Path.
I learnt to love everyone and hate no one.
I learnt to let the Light into my heart, casting out the darkness within.
I learnt to give before I take.
I learnt to forgive and repent, instead of asking "Why me?".
I slowly stopped thinking nobody loves me.
Sorry I don't have a one-size-fit-all motivation talk.
But no matter what age you are, where you are from, there are many single-parent children like us who have made it bigger than they thought possible.
There's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as we are earning money through the legitimate way. I was so Pikachu proud of myself when I sold green bean soups and char siew baos at 14, for my first holiday job. Still am.
Didn't thought I would end up like this now, after all I went through.
I have never once been embarrassed of my roots, for they have made me who I am today. And I will hammer anyone who belittles me for that. :D
In case you didn't know, Presidents Obama, Bill Clinton and George Washington were from single-parent families.
So were Confucius and Mencius.
Not forgetting Jay Chou and Vivian Hsu too.
This shows only one thing, it is never too late to create our own Destiny.
Not going to be easy, not going to be without tears, but it's tons better than staying put like a broken yoyo, that cries out its life story to everybody even at age 50.
Grow, Tree, GROW! Don't stump your own Destiny.
We are not victims of circumstances. Our parents' decisions and actions remain theirs, not ours.
We are masters of our own Life.
Don't let anyone or yourself take that power away from you.
The grit you show will never go unrewarded.
Your hand in my hand, let's do this.
