Michelle Choo Li Li at the Getai

Michelle Choo with the Bao Bei sisters

Photos from Michelle Choo

I had requested photos from Michelle and she forward to me to put in my blog

I went to Chinatown, saw Michelle Choo Li Li singing, she still pack the punch in her voice after all these year, I had heard her sing since when I was a few year old in the 60s.

She sang my favorite Cantonese song

Her sister Sandy is married and stayed in Hong Kong.

Had a dialogue with her in the Facebook.

She now singer solo, still pack a punch, especially the Cantonese songs

At the height of the Getai, a member of our group that we went to Palau Tekong, he kept repeat the tape of her songs.

At that time in the 60s, so many climb up a stage to hear them sing, until a stage collapsed.

After all these years seem like  the getai is gettting more popular with the older generations, as it become more and more were staged, other then it used to stage during the ghost festival.

More could be done to attract the youth?

My amazing interview with radio One FM 91.3 - Mark Van Cuylenburg, Glenn Ong & Andre Hoeden




My amazing interview with the Flying Dutchman Mark Van Cuylenburg, Glenn Ong & Andre Hoeden of One FM

I got a called from Andre Hoeden, they  were interested to interview me on how I'm able to, from sleeping on the street to traveling the world, after the saw my story from the website Stomp Singapore Seen - Singaporean from sleeping in the street to travelling the world. which they got my phone and called me for an interview.

I was asked numerous questions through emails and had replied Andre Hoeden.

I went to SPH centre at Toa Payoh, Andre came down to fetch me upstairs to the studio.

In the first part we discuss about, on how I had stayed in a one room flat, with 10 persons staying, every night, I brought a cardboard and pillow out to the end of the corridor outside my house to sleep at 1130 pm at the end there, subjected to all weather conditions. And my family karmic illnesses, due to the hot stove, which need to steam the food.

I got to wait until all the residents there all asleep then can went out at 1130 pm, until I was 27 years old, when I had my own flat. For many years I needed to wake up early in the morning at 4 am to run the hawker stall.

Mark Van Cuylenburg, which he urged me to talk about the better time, which when I started chanting, I told them offline.

After that they play the advert, we continue on the second half, on how I found a job, a company - S'pore Press Holdings, which paid me 6 and the half month bonus, that was the turning point of my life, nearby my house, then after I worked 2 years  and able to buy a 3 room flat, and a co worker introduced me to stocks in 1990.

I  read everything I can about stocks and developed my method of picking the right stocks, the same method I used to forecast which topic the will come out when I retook my 3 subjects, which I predicted accurately, which topic would come out, that I didn't pass, and through the good fortune in investments and chanting, as Eric Yeo Kheng Leong had reintroduced it to me,

And through my investments, I am able to travels to many parts of the world. And raise a family with 2 kids. My 2 kids do well in their studies, My travelling around the world  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTNruPGLy8g&t=31s,piAJE88https://get.google.com/albumarchive/118358995002919924292/album/AF1QipMQPKbPgBNLP7HF8DZF19yKsZ4e7v4k-piAJE88

My elder son through my hours and hours of daimoku got the result way beyond my expectation, My young son got to edusave awards whereas most got one.

As we continued to discuss various aspect of my life on and off line. The 3 of us continued to discuss with. I had told them I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

The last part is my lastest benefits.


Through chanting millions and millions of daimoku, offerings, activities, photostating the binders for members, I am able to transform my family poverty, disharmony and karmic illnesses. Through gohonzon power, I am able to surpass my potential beyond my imagination

The amazing New York City tour

Brooklyn Bridge

Going to the New York City on my own was one of my most challenging experiences in my travels. In an amazing 4 different modes of transports, by shuttle bus, railway, subway and cab.

I took a shuttle bus from the hotel to the Brunswick station railway line to Penn station in NYC, then asked one lady she brought me to the subway, to take the subway to Canal Road station at New York City Chinatown.


                                           Photo: The train to Penn station

At 10.35am, which I started my journey, and  reached the Chinatown, after my meal at New Wong Hon restaurant at nearly 2 pm, and started walking to Brooklyn bridge, the crowd were huge, and then started walking to the Wall Street, which was barricaded.

After taking some photos I walked back to Chinatown, ate a huge bowl of fish head soup. Then try finding the Canal Station this time is only 2 stations not 5 stations as before when I came. 


I got to keep asking people for directions. Walking up out of the station looking for Penn Station railway line and back to Brunswick Station at New Jersey to take a cab home to the hotel, the trip from New Jersey is more than 50 KM  and back to the hotel at 7 pm.  

Tomorrow morning the group got to leave the hotel and to tour NYC and then took a flight back to Singapore

I went on my own as the tour group went to shopping nearby at New Jersey. I toured NYC my own in case if I followed the tour group and miss something I was not able to see.
