World War III 第三届世界大战

April 28, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

I know not where the following quotation comes from. All I know is the fact that it is posted to me by a friend from Singapore. Thank You, Lim, and God Bless You. I have made some amendments to the message I received just to make the contents clearer. Here comes the message and I appreciate it if you can read SLOWLY and let the meaning sink into the deeper section of the brain. “We are in World War III now. We have not asked you to stay indoors but I know that your own inner voices ask you to […]

Easter, Once More 再一次的复活节

April 11, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

(Chinese) 再一次的复活节（Pinyin) Zài yīcì de fùhuó jié (Maori) Te wa Aranga, Anō ano Easter is the time that we recall the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ in the year 33 AD. Three men, Jesus included, were crucified together that Friday, April 3rd AD 33. Just imagine this - a man weighing at least 120 kg nailed on the wooden cross by three nails (perhaps three pairs of nails) one on each palm of the hand and one on the two feet bounded together. Logic would tell us that the nails could not hold the body […]

The 1918 Pandemic: 1918年大流行病毒

April 4, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

History has the habit of repeating itself. This time it has taken 102 years for the Coronavirus to reappear in the form of the current COVID-19 pandemic. In 1918 the earlier version of this virus came to this world and killed at least 50 million people. That influenza pandemic was known as the Spanish Flu. 500 million people were affected by the Spanish Flu. This number was about a third of the world’s population then. The Spanish Flu lasted from January 1918 right through to December 2020, a period of three years. 历史有重演的习惯。这次，冠状病毒以目前的COVID-19大流行的形式重新出现了。102年前，1918年，这种病毒的早期版本问世，造成至少5,000万人死亡。这种流感大流行被称为西班牙流感。 5亿人受到西班牙流感的影响。那时，这个数字约占世界人口的三分之一。西班牙流感从1918年1月开始持续到2020年12月，为期三年。 Take a look at the following […]

Job - A Modern version of the Story: 约白的现代的故事

February 2, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

Mr. Job Li is not his real name. But this story is based on the true story of the life of a faithful Christian person who lives in Singapore. 李承谋不是他的真名。但是，这个故事是根据一个生活在新加坡的虔诚基督徒的真实故事改编的。NOTE: A full version of this story in Chinese will be posted later. Since time immemorial, our Almighty God had set up a team of four of His angels charged with the sole responsibility of developing and strengthening the Christian faith of His people. This responsibility also included the testing of a Christian’s faith in God. This story is therefore about the testing of the faith of this person, Job […]

Helping the Disabled 帮助残疾人

January 30, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

During my recent stay in Singapore, I walked across Orchard Road several times a day at the pedestrian crossing, Paragon. I met up with this well-dressed handicapped tissue-paper seller on a fairly modern wheelchair. He had an almost twisted neck and also a deformed leg. That he was a disabled person was without doubt. 最近,我在新加坡逗留了好几星期。一天几次我在人行横道Paragon穿越乌节路的时候，我遇到一。我在一位穿着考究的残疾人薄纸销售商。他的脖子几乎扭曲了，腿也变形了。毫无疑问，他肯定是一个残疾人。 There were two questions that I need answers, though. One, who transported him to the busiest part of Orchard Road, every day (or several times a day as he must need comfort toilet stops)? Then, two, who was supporting him? 不过，我有两个问题需要答案。第一：谁每天（或每天几次），将他送至乌节路最繁忙的地方？，然后，第二：谁在支持他呢 - 穿的那么整齐？ I […]

Jstars Courtyard, the Maori Version.

November 29, 2019 FLAI40 Leave a comment

This is not an exact translation of the previous article. This is meant to be a supplement of the previous article with additional information, photographically presented, and written essentially in the Maori and Chinese Languages. 这不是上一篇文章的确切翻译。这是对上一篇文章的补充，提供了更多的信息，以照相的方式呈现，并且基本上用毛利语和汉语编写。 (In Hangyu Pinyin, for those studying Chinese) Zhè bùshì shàng yī piān wénzhāng dí quèqiè fānyì. Zhè shì duì shàng yī piān wénzhāng de bǔchōng, tígōngle gèng duō de xìnxī, yǐ zhàoxiàng de fāngshì chéngxiàn, bìngqiě jīběn shàng yòng máolì yǔ hé hànyǔ biānxiě. (In Maori) Ehara tenei i te whakamaoritanga tika o te tuhinga o mua. Ko te tikanga tenei hei taapiri mo […]

PLEASE NOTE THAT the Chinese and Maori versions of this article will be combined into one webpage in another blog that will follow this.

As the lessons from this story are important to the younger generation, it is my desire to have the entire forty-five episodes translated mainly […]

Recollections 回忆 maumahara

November 2, 2019 FLAI40 Leave a comment

Ever so often, we look at the photographs in our photo album and we wonder “Where can this be?” or “What was the occasion?” or “Who else was with us?” 我们经常查看相册中的照片，就问自己：“不知道这是在哪里？” 或 “那是在什么情况的哪？” 或 “还有谁和我们在一起哪？” I nga wa katoa, ka tirohia e matou nga whakaahua i roto i to maatau whakaahua whakaahua a ka miharo tatou “Kei hea enei?” he “He aha tenei kaupapa?” ko wai hoki hei hoa mo tatou? This is in Maori and I am using the google translate platform. I know this is not perfect but I am trying to learn the Language. Please, if you […]
