Such a tragic story. I'm so sorry you lost your godson, Sam. I hope that your pain will end soon.

[Sam Lim]

There is no pain now. Sometimes, being human, I do miss him. He chose his own path but I do feel very sad for the wife and daughter. They don't deserve it. No one should have control over someone else's life.

I bought a flat which will be ready by the third quarter of 2018.

I used my CPF money to buy it. It cost around SGD$108,000. With subsidies, it will cost me around $81,000.

At least there is a place for me to stay instead of renting all the time which is very expensive. I am currently renting a room which cost $700 a month. I will have to work soon as I am running out of money.

I hope that it will be a peaceful and quiet there, Sam.

I hope all goes well for you, Sam.

Hi Sam, I made this post for the forum page, but it doesn't show up so you'd have to post it



Looking Up from the Dark Wood of Error by Gustave Dore

In the Divine Comedy, the relationship between Dante and Beatrice symbolizes the mystic's quest for the spiritual marriage. Dante's love for Beatrice represents his pursuit of divine love. Here, at the very beginning of his journey, Beatrice points upward toward paradise, showing Dante where his quest will take him.

Oops, I meant to say Facebook page. Don't know why I wrote forum page

[Sam Lim]

I've posted it. Everyone can post on the FB page. It's set that way.

I've been starving for the last 2 days due to lack of money. That is good because I took it as fasting and that would increase my immunity and burns visceral fats. At the same time it does decrease my blood sugar level without eating away on the muscles.

Today, my god-son came and brought me to a coffee-shop for food and he gave me some money. I am so very grateful for him. He also brought me to the job-site where my future home is. They have started to build the first storey. Hopefully, by the end of 2017 I will be able to move in.

I spent the afternoon making fenugreek capsules for a friend of mine who have lung cancer and have some lymph nodes problems. Since fenugreek is good for the lymphatic system. Life is good.

P.S. I am not looking for charity and donations. I do not feel that I am suffering at all but this is part of life. Any one who wants to send me money will be rejected as I understand most of us are not well off. I also appreciate the thought and I do love you all even though I am not expressive enough. Love you guys!!

Sam =( I'm half tempted to say bullshit here and ask for your address. Fasting by choice is NOT the same thing as not having the means to eat. Please take care, and if you NEED (which you do) money for food, I will send you some. I have more than I need.

[Michel]

I tried to send him some cash but he refused, Cal.

We are here for you Sam, if you need us. I think you should be careful of your health.

[Sam Lim]

Don't worry guys. There are Buddhist temples here in Singapore that give free vegetarian food everyday.. If I really need to, I will go there even though it's quite a distance.
