20261104 : New song#15 - a season of singing has come

DR Liu’s Chionophobia!

He Overcame this fear!

 4/11/26

Few days ago I recorded the song “Gently” from the C-Drama Small Hometown Remedy. 

Managed to finish watching all the 29 episodes only to realise the beginning scene in the first was the ending scene in the last.  Pretty creatively produced. It was a journey of change for this Dr Liu. 

Think there were many lessons to take from this drama. Fears. Life and death. Relationships.  Healing .Dark humor. 

The OST lyrics had the winter and spring.  People come and go. Awoken at 3:30am, while doing my “SOAP”, I couldn’t help but came up with the new AI song -lyrics which came from the Bible.  Ps147 and Songs2 resonated so much resemblance of the OST first few verses. 

And what was the main key lesson?  FEARS.  

Everyone has fears. Big and small. Some permanent and others temporal. Cause and effects of post traumas. Physical and mental illnesses. 

Well Covid came in 2020. Lockdown was re opened in 2022. Yet this unseen virus still stayed on in many who have yet to step out of this fear.  Such is life.  Some are still stuck in fear. 

But this drama depicts the challenge and confrontation of such fears.  The Cure. The remedy. If one wants to change? Got to face it and be an over comer.  If Dr Liu can do it, so can you. 

Hope.  After winter, spring will appear.  That is how our Creator God’s bigger design of seasons of life.  Life is never a bed of roses. When the downs of life may hit us, we remember the passing winter and the new spring flowers.  Move On. 

 ****************

So here is the new song!:-

He spreads the snow like wool

Who can withstand his icy blast?

He sends his word and melts them

He stirs up his breezes and waters sent

For the winter is past 

The rains are over and gone

Flowers appear on the earth 

The season of singing has come 

Face the fear

Wipe the tear

Hope is clear

Jesus is near

20261101 Blue Christmas for Remedy

A Blue Theme for Christmas 2026!

1/11/26

Yay! My Christmas decor is up! BLue blue this year! Someone asked why I put up so early? 😂 

“12 days of Christmas is just too short lor!”

I love this time of the year. I am a hot person. I love winters more than summer. I love the imaginery winter and snow in Red Dot! 😝 

Have you watched this new drama Small Town Remedy? My idol sings Gently at the recent Nanjing first concert with this song this mth. XZ is the lead actor in this super funny and also at times sad drama. Still ongoing and shd be completed next week. Have a watch. Learn this new phobia term called Chionophobia! Guess what fear is this? Opposite of my love!😍 

Love this song.  Tried to sing it. But now as good as the original XZ whose voice is always so soothing for ballads. Amazing talented guy- can sing , dance and act.  If he ever comes to spore for his concert with our Stephanie Sun his idol and friend JJ lin? I think I will attend the concert. 😂 shall wait and see…..

Think this movie is pretty good. Humorous. And about conquering fears and all about the relationships love and warmth.

***********

Snow melts, the wind turns warmer, flowers return to the branches

Spring is here, and there is a good remedy

Stopping and going, each travels their own way, at the next crossing

You and I also change into lighter attire

Put all the past we carry into the moon

Longing is waking up in the night

an open window

Gently, the person in the dream is as gentle as moonlight

gently falls on the heart, taking me to

the old place

Gently, when I miss you, petals drift down to the heart of the lake.

The years have ripples that echo; shadows gaze at each other.

Along the road we came, the two of us.

Clouds will rain, roads will turn, happiness will be hard to come by.

We will meet, and we will drift apart.

May you and I have mountains at our backs and warmth in our smiles.

Waiting for the wind to rise, and for the sky to turn blue.

Scene after scene of breath, layer after layer of ripples.

Ripple by ripple, stirring us up.

Year after year of time.

20261002 Ezra - Persian Empire & Engineering wrt Turpan Tuyugou and Karez wells

 

2/10/26 Interesting Ezra - The Persian Empire & Engineering and Jews Return and Wars

Happened to read Ezra this morning. Only 10 chapters about the history about 3000 years ago.  KIng Cyrus and Darius time in Persia ( now Iran) allowing for the return of the Jews to rebuild  the temple in Jerusalem. 

Well the war of modern day Iran- Israel now ongoing. Escalated in fact with our SQ no longer flying to Dubai till end of the year due to uncertainty 

But was was captivating was that while reading , couldn’t help but recalling this ancient city of the Uyghurs In Tuyugou in Turpan In Xinjiang and the amazing Karez Wells systems!

Being on site at Turpan to witness this engineering system and the old village of the Uighurs was an eye opener. 

Now on further research? The Karez wells actually was from the Persian empire! They call it QANAT. But the Chinese now call it 坎儿井。awesome underground gravity water systems!

What was surprising was that it was written! Darius the great put into law “ anyone who builts Qanats gets 5 generation of tax free on that land. So Persians dug 37000 plus Qanats across the empire”! The Karez wells in Turpan was 5272km plus  long too! Longer than the Great Wall? !Majority found in Turpan Xinjiang. 

Well well. Persia now Iran. Renamed in 1973? Still ongoing wars. Hmm Ezra recorded Cyrus the founder of Persian empire. Funny the king allowed the Jews to return to rebuild the temple. Yet today - the conflict of Israel and Iran continues. Wonder if Cyrus did not allow such return , perhaps history might change? 

Just some musings that coincided with the Karez wells and Tuyugou ancient and Jiao He ruins.

A bit of Bible reading and history coming alive

20260927 Reflections of Xinjiang

Visiting only North Xinjiang

My First lamb cuddling!

My awesome rainbow sighting At Sayram Lake!

My snow at top of Tian Shan along DUKu Road! My first experience of summer, spring ,autumn and Winter journey of this DUKu Road that cuts thru Tianshan from Nalati Grassland side to Urumuqi! 200km but took more than 5 hours with the 4 seasons from valleys to mountain top! 😆 

My rejection of horse riding due to 60  past! So paid RMB20 for just the photo and me on the horse! Sian!

My first cotton plant touch！Amazing fields of them! Best up close and personal! TO touch! 

MY first understanding of how raisins were dried in the ancient days too!

My first e scooter riding？

 THe amazing record of Genesis found in Jiao HeRuins in Turpan ! The Bible of Creation is TRUE!!!

MY first witness of the amazing Karez wells or Qanat systems In Turpan! Actually after I came back to read more? This a Karez originated from Persia now Iran! Amazing “technology” that save the lives of many - the source of life of this water system 

And I saw how the sheep and goats and cows walk on the slopes of the mountains! They made amazing lines like this! GOsh! What a track! 😂 

Well well. Xinjiang is vast. 

I have never seen so many sheep goats cow horses camels all over the place! Herded by mainly their minority tribe of the Kazakhs. They are wealthy owners of such flock! A sheep may cost RM2k, a cow RMB20k but a horse is minimum RMB30k to over 100k depending on breed! So the Bible during the time of Abraham? HE was rich as he owned so many of such flock!  RIghtly so? Our Father in Heaven is the true owner of such assets. Like the grazing rights given to feed on the land by the government, we do not really “Own” this flock or our possessions. 😂

WInd Farms in Xinjiang ! Oh wow!

All over the place with the power of wind!

Journeying thru the car and train, yes the unseen wind. The spirit of God. We cannot see the wind. 

But yet when those wind turbines turn? BIg and small ones? The wind is expressed thru such turns!

OH what an energy!

What is the feeling like standing on the tip of Altay Mountains and overlooking the 4 countries? RUssia. CHina. Kazastan and Mongolia?  😂 The FEELINg of • ON TOP OF THE WORLD?”

Last but not least? MY first time loving to eat MUTTON! XInjiang maa maa is delicious! Cos they grazed on mountain grass! Overcame the fear of MUTTON! YEAH!

MY little moments in Land of of X

20260925 D12: Turpan - Tuyugo/ Jiao He Ruins & Karez wells!

 25/9/26

Left Urumqi for Turpan. 

1. This highway route boasts of long stretch their Wind farms !

2. ⁠interesting Grape drying houses along the road. Cos Turpan is a Grape City

3. ⁠Turpan is very hot in summer ! HOw Flaming Mountains got its name and the filming of the Sunwukong crossing this mountain. 

4. ⁠More interesting is their ancient city called Tuyugou. The home of the Uighurs. The canals built around their homes are from the Karez wells

5. ⁠Karez wells and irrigation system was a well thought out by the Turpan people for survival in ancient times. The place was just too hot. Evaporation rate of water high. Hardly any rainfall. Yet they managed to grow grapes thru this irrigation method! And they stayed alive !

6. ⁠The other ancient ruins  we went is Jiao He. But this one was built below the clay area. Sunken ancient  city to avoid the heat!

7. ⁠Urumuqi-Turpan by car took us more than 3 hours. So we decided to buy a train ticket back for RMB78 first class today. ( standard is 48) To cut travel time by 1/2.  To see Urumqi city a bit more before we return to spore Tomo!
