To journey in a dream in wonderland。（梦游仙境）

 To journey in a dream in wonderland (梦游仙境) is a famous Chinese idiom to portray the idyllic state of a person's mind often with a flattering vision of high achievements.

It's interesting tp know if our parvenu PM Lawrence Wong fits this apellation. One thing that he shows is that he is more articulate than the lack-lustre  SM Lee Hsien Loong.and this he displayed unabashedly in and outside Singapore' I have compared him with the famous Cantonese story-teller of old Singapore Li Da Sha (李大傻（Crazy Li）who took Singapore by storm by his uproarous hilatious story=telling which mesmerized Singaporeans young and old (irrespective of dialects). In the beginning PM Lawrence Wong was indeed as popular as Crazy Li in capturing the hearts of Singaporeans with his extremely delightful story-telling but could not sustain as he lacked the finesse that was the trait of Crazy Li.in contents and delivery. Crazy Lee's inimitable personality was something that PM Lawrence Wong  would find it hard to emulate.

Similary could the oratory antics  of PM Lawrence Wong have a nagnetic effect on the leaders of the outside world when they are seen as a novelty of deja vu is not surprising but one can wonder if his rantings still dazzle his foreign audiences.  He is flamboyant by nature and his oratory profusions in and outside Singapore are only a reflection of his ever aspired ambitions to manipulate them to acknowledge his so-called talents in the amelioration of world politics. Do Singapore and world leaders see him as a dynamic politician who holds forth a messianic future for mankind? It may be too early to say but there is a Chinese saying: Each person has his own perception （各花入各眼).

Now for the God-forsaken Lee Hsien Loong. It must be a divine prank that each time he opens his big mouth he gets a big whacking. He must be some kind of a stoic character to go on facing his detractors. Whether that amuses PM Lawrence Wong is intriguing. He is so magnanimous that he honoured SM Lee Hsien Loong in according him prominence in feting foreign dignitories. He was also given liberty in addressing important audiences made up of delegation of civil servants and prominent members of civil society.. Do you really need a senior minister to do all these?  Lee Hsien Loong may feel that he can disabuse any misconception that his position is a sinecure. I  think he dissipates it dexterously and how people view it is not mortifying. However, he must  be mentally prepared for the day when PM Lawrence Wong springs a surprise adieu on him.

Is Lee Hsien Loong a real or a  fake brother of Dr. Lee Wei Leng that he and his devoted wife Ho Ching showed up at his sister's wake for only 15 minutes like a stranger and was no-show at her funeral. Was Ho Ching spotted smirking? It's so surreal  but it could be real. Won't Lee Kuan Yew be turning  in his grave?

May I take the liberty to mention about my esteemed friend Andrew and the TRE about my loan to the agency. I think I am not ironical to say that Andrew took my $3000 loan for granted as a right to him and TRE.without even the slightest decency to show any gratitude. I gave the loan on the guidance of the Almighty God and was touched by TRE's indispensible public service. Another more pugnacious professional websile doing similar indispensible  public service is The Online Citizen. I told Andrew that the loan was from my life saving which would see me through to the end of my life journey. It must be repaid and it could not be regarded as a donation as I am impecunious .

I am not sure Andrew really appreciated what I did to save the TRE from demise. The loan was given without any interest and flexible in repayment.  Did Andrew really give a soul-searching examination of  my utter compassionate desire to help. Does he think he could get such such generous  loan from any bank or donor? Could I be blamed for being horrified when I could not get repayment from him even with   repeated requests? Is this the reward I deserve from being kind in   giving the loan??

I felt like a beggar asking for alms when Andrew finally promised  to  make full repayment  of $3000 at the end of the year. Willy nilly I have no choice but to accept the Andrew's kindness of repayment at the end of the year. What worries me is whether Andrew will keep his promise. I  will have to leave it to God. It's fate if they renege on repayment. They may or may not be aware of any serious consequences if they renege. They have to consider any repercussion that could affect TRE's reputation or Andrew's integrity. Do they want to be publicly branded as swindling hustlers?

There is still the last resort of taking Andrew and TRE  to court for non-payment.

 I hope with God's blessing that this unhappy episode will be successfully resolved.

What is gnawing me at my conscience is whether God had made a grave mistake in advising me to give TRE the loan.

May God bless you.
