My 2008 aspiration...

1) I want to join voluntary organization, and become a volunteer to help in blood and organ donation campaign---realized.

2) I hoped that one day, one or some of the students will be going to help the needy after I shared my experience and brought them to the handicapped centre --- one student who graduated last semester called me up from Kelantan for futher details because he and his society members wanted to visit the handicapped centre---realized.

3) My small time dream: to futher my studies in a local university --- realized.

4) I was always thinking why some people never use that opportunity to share experience to help them to find their home one day --- this year, thanks to a boy's idea, I helped him. Although I don't know how's the effect yet, but I have faith and confidence that in the future, it will happen! --- realized.

5) After the talk given by Ajahn Brahmavamso (http://www.bswa.org/) in the year end 2007, I was so inspired and determined to go for a meditation retreat by Ajahn Brahmavamso! I started learning meditation from my teacher and finally attended the meditation retreat by Ajahn Brahmavamso! It was a great realization! --- realized.

I found that if I were to make aspiration for a good cause, it will happened eventually! And I'm glad that I did make all these aspiration!

Year 2009 aspiration? I've already made some of it in year 2008, just wait and see when will all of them be realized!!!

I wish all of you:
Happy Year 2009
and happy dreams will come true!

牵着孩子的手

在讲座会的时候，小孩子开始闹了。
当妈妈的怪不好意思的，于是就带她的小孩子出去走走了。
我看着妈妈很有耐心的牵着自己小孩子的手，来来回回走了好几趟。
看着他们的背影，觉得真的好温馨哦！

-------------------------

隔天， 讲座会还没开始之前，七十九岁的主讲者（女法师）牵着一位女士的手，
走向了菩提树。

看着他们的背影，我也感觉好温馨哦，就像那妈妈牵着自己的孩子一样。
------------------------
不知何时，我也能像法师这样呢？

The new beginning

"Well, I really hope that I can pass the exam this time."

I asked,'Why do you have to worry? If you have put in your effort, you will pass your exam'
Just remember, no matter what happened, it's not the end. Don't worry.'

This happened few days ago.

----------------------------------

'I didn't pass the exam! I must leave immediately...'
All his friends were so sad. My heart break too.
If I didn't know him lately, I didn't know that he's talented in singing and acting.
He could be so funny.

I wasn't prepare for this too...

He really looked so sad.

Looking at him and his friends, all I could ever do was just to say,
'You never knew what life is waiting for you in the future. There are many path that you can choose from now on. Remember, this is not the end. It just a beginning. Your new journey has just begun!'

After given him some real life examples,
slowly, he began to look no so upset.
And a little smile (although it was still a sad smile) appeared on his face.
