MALAYSIAN SONNET ECHOES 60:TORNADO IN A PAN

With eddies of hot and cold wind and air;

Thunderstorm whirl, whine and wreck the world bare;

If catastrophe impacts on your life;

Violence are rife, the nation in strife.

Body is diseased, mind must not fall sick;

Stay calm to watch tricks, stir is thick and quick.

Life is like a a movie, add fire and sound;

War drum out of beat, kindness not around.

Nothing I could change, the change is within;

Treatment not in skin, confidence to spin;

Confuse aches with eggs, tornadoes as true;

Sight with awesome feel, how could the cards deal.

Easy to be entangle when world spins;

Begin never to win, just grin in sync.

My Sonnet was in response to Wayne Tan’s ( a Chinese Muslim, my personal trainer) rhyme verses , as follow:

Through the chaos to remain grounded,
One must question upon which is founded,
Does the issue affect one self?
To what degree should one delve,

Life is full of enough problems to solve,
Through thick and thin we do evolve,
Focus only on what we can change,
Anything else would just be strange.

Every morning I wrote sometime to greet my friend. My daughter sent me the video of Omelette Tornardo. I added these words:

Life is like an Omelette tornado. Right or wrong, gain and loss etc sticks and curls and ends in an active or passive volcano. How do we prevent ourselves from being sucked up ?

Notes:

My cardio imaging scan , with high calcium score , about 4000, suggest I have extensive blockage in triple vessels, despite no symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness. Last week I did an angiogram at Singapore Heart Centre, which showed the blockage was about 60 %, and no stent was required. It was a great relief. I shall be doing a cardiac perfusion test , instead of a stress test due to my age. I am uncertain whether the orthopedic surgeon here would be willing to resect my stranded synovium, which not only limited my movement completely, but caused intense pain. Now the pain has subsided over complete bed rest for two weeks.
