Finally



I've started my savings from Monday, November 19, 2007
The story goes like this 一天三角钱

Today, I've finally filled up the boxes with coins of total about RM156 each!

Yeah! Woo Hoo!

I didn't actually wait to fill the boxes full with coins to give to charity organization.

Sometimes, when there was news on disaster and donation was needed,
I'll donate whatever amount that was in one of the boxes.
I kept one of the box untounch because I wanted to know how much money I can save up in a box.

From 2007 till now, sometimes, I'm concious/mindful that I wanted to keep those small change for the purpose of giving.
(Reading the thoughts of what I had in the past in the previous blog reminds me that I've forgotten some of the details!)

Sometimes, it just becoming a habit or just to achieve the target (to fill up the box).

So how many right thoughts/mindful deeds have I had?

I don't know...but I knew I did my best!
For this box, I've plan to buy or order booklet/bookmark with some sayings
and give to my students and friends!

It is because the gift of Dhamma (teaching of Buddha) excels all gifts!
Hopefully that it'll be useful to them!

Oh, I never thought I would answer...

Student: Teacher, I'm so worried. I can't concentrate on my studies because there are just too much to revise for the final exam. Will the final exam be easy or difficult?

Teacher: Well, it can be easy. It can be difficult. However, there's only one thing you can do about it.

Student: That is ...?

Teacher: Just answer it! No matter easy or difficult questions, all you can do is just to answer it. So why do you need to worry about the questions?

Student: There's one more. I love my life here. Time pass by so fast. I just couldn't imagine that I'm going to leave my friends so soon! I will miss them so much! How am I going to face it?

Teacher: Will all the relationship remain permanent?

Student: No.

Teacher: Will you get upset over something that is not permanent?

Student: No.

Teacher: So do you still have to worry about your relationship with your friends?

Student: Oh, my! I never thought I would give you that answer! Thank you, teacher!

(Suddenly, I see a sign of relief from the student's expression)

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!

达成心愿(5〕。。。 (完之想不到的惊喜〕

“我记得你曾经带学生去参观慈善机构。
我和我朋友们也即将去参观慈善机构了。
老师,你可以告诉我要怎么做吗?”

我当然很乐意的告诉他,也分享我的经验啦!

真想不到,一个简单的分享,也可以帮到我的小瓜。。。

大约在半年前,我带了我的小瓜们去参观某慈善机构。
由于能带的人数有限,参观完后,我就和其他班级的小瓜们分享我们的经验。

如今,那班小瓜都毕业了! (应该有半年了吧〕

-------------
当时接完这通电话的时候,心里有种说不出的喜悦!
真的达成心愿了也!
他的一通电话,也鼓励了我“做就对了”的行动力了!

谢谢你!感恩你!

做好事,分享好事真的是不分种族的!

达成心愿(5)。。。(完)

一一实现了

以前想在退休后做的事,
现在可以一一做到了。
真是开心极了!

我从没想过可以自己一个人去参加东,参加西的! 哈哈!
拓宽视野,心情也开朗哦!


以前坐车常经过某学府的草场,看到它的标志,
我就开始想:
请以后一定要让我在这里求学!

想不到,以前一直很想向往去求学的某某学府,
我,现在也快可以在那里求学,心愿实现了。
虽然我真的很懒惰再继续的读下去,
但是既然给了报名费,恩师益友也给了百分百的支持及帮助,
不读真的是对不起大家!
先在这里对大家说: 感恩!

我现在只觉得,
做人应该大胆,放胆的去想,去追求自己真正想要的梦想,理想!

只要有梦想的一天,就会有希望,
就会梦想成真,愿望成真的那么一天!

成真,可能不是明天,不是短期内,
但一定会在我们的有生之年的时候!

我要继续织梦罗!

你呢?

在此祝大家继续织梦,
然后梦想成真!!!

达成心愿(5)。。。(完)



轮到与小瓜们分享心得,感想的时刻啦!

大家围了个小圆圈。

我说:"经过那一天与residents (disabled people)的相处,我想听听大家的想法。"

小瓜们的分享:

"我感到很伤心,因为他们的身体有缺陷。"

"我感到很开心,因为我们能把欢乐带给他们。"

"我们应该珍惜眼前所拥有的一切。只需一场病,一场意外就足以夺走现有的一切了。"

"我们应该知足,感恩。"

"对于工作,我们不应该太挑剔。毕业以后,我们应该明白工作是为了解决生活的问题,而不是面子的问题。"

"我们不应该只常常记得逛街。如果有时间,我们也可以陪陪他们。尽量不要把他们与社会隔离。我觉得这样做,我会很快乐。"

"我觉得很感动。之前,我是未曾参与及亲自体会和居民在一起的心情的。"

"就算他们有身体上的缺陷,但他们还是勇敢的过日子。我们要向他们学习不屈不挠的精神!"

"我觉得他们虽可怜,但有时候,我们比他们更可怜!"
奇怪,我便问:" 为什么呢?"
"我们活着的态度有时比他们更不认真!"

我再问:"你们还记得有一位居民是弱智的吗?她是喜欢物质的东西,还是拥抱呢?"

小瓜们:"当然记得啦! 她拿了红包过后就随手一丢了。但要有人靠近她的话,她就喜欢抱抱人了。"

(有几个小瓜还特地抱抱她,还推她一起参观四周围呢! 我也有被她抱抱啦。起初,我心里还是有点不习惯。过了一会儿,就开始培养关心关爱的让她抱抱了。)

我问:"当时,物质与关爱,她需要的是什么呢?"
小瓜们:"她只认得关爱。她需要的是关爱。"

我再问:"我们给的关爱,是不是一定要有钱才可以给人帮助,关怀,关爱呢?"

在结束以前,我就说了:"你们毕业以后,你们是不是一样可以继续的帮忙不幸人士? 你们可以参与,也可以自己主办类似的有益活动。我很庆幸,因为有你们的参与,大家都可以一起为善最乐了! 感恩。"
------------------------------

因为我高调的告诉同事们我带小瓜们去慈善机构,又加上我的小瓜们也很会向其他朋友们宣传,所以之后呢,有两个同事也问了我相关的资料,也打算以后会带他们的小瓜去体验体验了!

感恩。

任务达成罗!

达成心愿(5)。。。(二)


好啦,终于可以出发了!
但还是有几个小瓜迟到!

真是气死我了!
但想了一想,今天应该是带着愉快的心情出发的,
还是不要骂也不罗嗦了。。。

出发罗!!!

到了那里,负责人带我们参观了所有的设备及设施。
我们还是第一次看到physiotherapy room for the disabled.
负责人还示范给我们看那里的(orang kurang upaya/disabled people, 在那里称为residents)如何运用器材来做复健。
还有herbal garden也。
种植的地方就会比较高一点,因为这样才会方便residents种植或浇水。
那天的天气很好,我们也有幸看到residents如何学习游泳。

他们也有做手工艺品去卖哦!
以上的书签就是他们做的!

参观完以后,我们就开始表演了。

我们一起唱歌,玩游戏!

大家都和residents玩得很开心呢!

过后,几个男生就帮忙打扫落叶。而且还打扫得很起劲呢! (平时叫他们拉开窗帘都懒得理我呢!)
女生就自动帮忙做手工艺品,而且还做到停不下手来呢! (平时叫他们重复实验时,脸部表情可苦得很呢!)

真是难得!难得!



回去以后,我就找了一天,很小瓜们一起分享心得!

达成心愿(5)。。。(一)

前言

前几个月,我问我的小瓜们要去哪里玩。
结果呢,他们要去的地方都是危险性蛮高的,如爬山和游水!

为了不让他们去,也怕自己没那个能耐确保他们的安全,
我就建议他们去参观慈善机构。(其实是逼的啦!)
为了安抚他们的反对声音,只好答应他们过后会带他们去购物啦。。。
地点定好了,开会也不知开了多少次,proposal也才终于出炉了,也获得准许了。

他们也想卖东西,赚取一些钱给自己用。(这计划是不会被批准的!)
我这个霸道的人又说了:"我们何不把赚到的钱捐给即将要去参观的慈善机构呢?"
他们又只好遵照我的意思,proposal也获得批准了!
想不到小瓜们的小型义卖会也办得成了! 大家都开心到不得了!

于是,我们只是等出发的那一天了!

要去的前一个星期,竟然有一半的小瓜告诉我他们无法出席!
天啊!
如果要等到大家都能一起出席,已经不知是何年何月了!
不管了,我只好照办了!

还好,出发的那一天,超过半数以上的小瓜们报到了!

达成心愿(2)


被忽略掉的景,Terengganu
有颜色比较好看呢?
还是
黑白比较耐人寻味呢?
当我给他们看这张照片时,他们都问我是从哪里拍的。
其实,我只是从咖啡店走出了阳台,就一览无余了。。。
坐在阳台的,也问我同样的问题。。。
之前在槟岛的码头看到类似的村子。
只可惜,相机不在身边,又没有位停车。
下次希望是在槟岛拍了。。。

达成心愿(1)




终于去Terengganu登加楼了!
是因为托工事的福,所以才得到去。
当然,这也是我自己主动争取回来的机会。

去Terengganu跟这副画有什么关系呢?
其实,这朵莲花是我用笔和蜡画在布上的(隔壁的花花草草不是我的杰作)。
这块布是给客人画的Batik。

好高兴哦!
以前只可以在电视上看人画Batik布.
现在的我,终于可以亲身画了!
我从小就梦想有这么的一天了!

只要有梦想,就能成真!

题外话:
我的宝贝看了我填完颜色以后就说: 你可以在莲花上画佛了!
哈哈!我还不知道我的那朵莲花还会给他人带来此联想呢! 阿弥陀佛! 善哉!善哉!

其实,这应该是让他们enjoy和学习的。结果变成是我这个带团的深深地乐在其中!
美中不足的是:无法把那副batik带回。。。
