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.

Why didn't you tell us that in the first place. haha... You could always go OOB. Don't forget to bring your stomach.

Sorry to hear about the forced fast.  Such is the life of a mystic in any age.  I hope things improve for you, and I truly would like to see you one day in the flesh.

Mr. Sam, how are you? You've been in my thoughts, and I'm worried about you. I am reminded of a story from the bible Matthew chapter 16 verses 21-23;

21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

It brings up a viable, and reasonable argument, but I say fuck that, I agree with Peter... please be safe and healthy Sam.

Love Cal

[Sam Lim]

Thank you so much, Cal. Nothing could express my gratitude for such love.
Please be assured I am safe, healthy and extremely "happy".
I am really not bothered with a few days of not eating because I don't care much for food unless I am very very hungry. I am also having intermittent fasting about once or twice a week of more than 16 hours. Most time, I have one meal a day. Besides, my god-son will always buy food for me and other people in my neighborhood will buy food for me if I asked which I won't because I have no need to. I don't feel that I am suffering at all, trust me. Everything will work out fine.

P.S. Why do you address me as Mr. Sam??? LOL

Actually as a side note, I am very contented with what I have or don't have.

[Sam Lim]

I think I should write something of myself in order for others to know about me.

My other post on this have stated that my other god-son who died had borrowed $90,000 which I don't need him to pay but there is more. I have loaned a father and son who's business is in bad shape about $20,000. Up till now, they have paid only $5,000 and still have $15,000 remaining. That was a few years ago. I have no intention of asking it back. I also loaned a friend about $15,000 and he has only paid $2,000 and I am still asking for it because I won't let it go due to his character. It's all my retirement money. I don't really care much for money or any form of possessions. Love or compassion is much more important to me. Even just a thought of kindness towards me will built a life long relationship with me. I find those intangible things much more valuable even though we can't live without money in this world especially in my part of the world.

I do not profess anything. This is my personality now and a part of me. I don't think any one should model after me. After all, my life and situation is different. My only wish now is to have my house which for me is shelter so that I would not end up in the streets. Other than that, I am very contented. Just waiting for the day when my life will expire. I have no aspiration, not even for enlightenment.

I am happy to hear that you have friends in Singapore that will help support you. You have a heart of gold, Sam. And gold is the one of the most precious metals on earth. So, you must attract many friends. And I am very happy to know that we are friends.

Because the alternative would be Mrs. Sam, and that might be a little offensive =P. No, I suppose its my way of saying that I disagree, but still care. I'm happy to read that you are not without options and it does ease my concerns. But dont forget that we may want to help too.

Take care.

My godson informed me today that he won't be able to give me as much money as before as the business is not bringing in as much money temporarily. I am very touched by this gesture and he showed much love. Luckily our government gave us, citizens who earns less than $1,700 some money. I received $246 which helps me to pay some of my bills. My godson also gave me $500 for my rent.

My nephew have had a high fever and is now in a stable condition except that he is feeling weak due to the sickness. He is about 1 year 3 months old. He tends to follow me around and likes to stick around me, even though I am very strict with him.

My exercise routine have decreased. I used to cycle 5 days a week which have reduced to 3 times a week. My intake of carbs have increase as it is cheaper which makes me gained 2 kilograms which is about 4.5 pounds. Health is okay and normal

3rd March 2016

There is good news. The fenugreek capsules that I've made for a friend who have lung cancer have eased his pain and the swell has gone down. I have also offered help to another friend (male). He's been married for quite a while and his wife is unable to conceive. His wife have pains and cramps during her period and I suggested that I make some moringa capsules for the wife to get rid of the pain and maybe get pregnant. I have given the moringa powder to other women before and they have reported that their period pains have gone and health have also improved. That is why I suggesting this for my friend's wife. Another guy have approached me to make some ointment for their elders who have arthritic pains. It's a quick reliever and by no means a cure. I will try to make for them if I have some disposable money and in the meantime I have no choice but to let them wait. It takes a bit of money to purchase the herbs and the oil to make the ointment.

It's been a good week but I've accumulated some stress due to helping my godson in his business. Long story. Anyhow, I am very sensitive. I might take some time off to recuperate. Still unable to get a job. Probably due to my age and the economy here is not looking too bright. No one wants an old man to work for them when they can get younger people. It's difficult. I will still try and get a job.

Sorry to hear you're not having luck finding a new job. I hope you find something soon. I know I would hire you right away just to enjoy having you around. You wouldn't have to do anything. haha.

Well, we can do something about  that. I just sent you an email.

[Sam Lim]

Thanks Michel. By the end of the month I would have some money to buy it. There is no hurry. You have been very kind.

[Sam Lim]

Today is a day of sadness. The friend who had lung cancer died this afternoon at 1pm. Go well my friend. Be at peace.

[Jhanananda]

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

[Michel]

I offer you my condolences, Sam. He was fortunate to have had  a friend like you.
