The Six Instructions For The Wen Clan 温氏圣谕六训

We talk about living a life of significance and leaving behind a legacy that will have positive impact on our children and descendants.

Well, here are the "Six Instructions" for the Wen clan 温氏圣谕六训 which mirrored the 'Placard of Instructions to the People' promulgated by the 1st Ming Emperor Hung Wu 洪武帝 (Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋) who dealt with local administration of justice by village elders and directed that in every village a disabled, very old or bind person, led by a young boy should walk the streets, ringing a copper bell with a wooden clapper and chanting the "Six Instructions" (Source : Rayne Kruger. All Under Heaven - A Complete History Of China. West Sussex, England : John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2003)  :

孝顺父母，尊敬长上，和睦乡邻，各安生理，教训子孙，勿作非为。

The 1st instruction   : 孝顺父母 - Maintain filial obligations

The 2nd instruction  : 尊敬长上 - Respect for elders

The 3rd instruction  : 和睦乡邻 - Harmonious relations with neighbours

The 4th instruction  : 各安生理 - Work peacefully for your own livelihood

My First Dorado on My First Fishing Trip to Pulau Perhentian Besar

Caught my 1st dorado weighing 3.13kg on the 2nd day of my fishing trip with my GLAD kaki's to Pulau Perhentian Besar (16th Sept 2011-18th Sept 2011) with a 6'6" Abu Garcia Vengeance rod/20lb Toman braided line/Abu Garcia Gold ProMax bait caster and a 5"(approx) live 'tamban' bait.

What a day and what a fight!


I clinched the championship for landing the heaviest catch on this particular outing.
