月饼，吃完了吗?

中秋节已过了。

灯笼，也不小心被烧掉了，也被淋湿了!

月饼，好吃的，早就被排泄掉了。

只剩下不好吃的，还剩在桌面上而已!
直到今天，
还得勉强的，慢慢的，把它分成一小块，一小块的，吞下去。。。

吃了几家的月饼，我只觉得这家的月饼是最好吃的了! (对我个人而言)
请不要以为我在帮他打广告，因为它可没请我当代言人，也没付钱给我!
等到现在才推销，那我肯定是傻的推销员了!

好，
那家好吃的月饼就是-----"慈济"-----所义卖的啦!

好吃的，当然得留下来慢慢品尝咯!
哪里可以一下子就把它吃光光了呢?
那明天不就没得吃了吗?!

它的月饼，真的不含防腐剂，因为我放了两三天后，就变质了!
真是心痛死我了啦!
那么好吃的月饼就这么被我糟蹋掉了!

所以爸爸再去买过，而且还是当天买，当天把它吃完!

不油腻，不太甜。
但很滑，很顺口。
吃完一口，再一口。。。

过后，只会听到:
"喂，慈济的月饼在哪里?
刚刚还在冰箱里耶!"

包装简洁，又富有意思!

又可帮助他人!

有冰皮月饼，普通月饼，水晶(jelly)月饼。

还有English的解说耶!

那月饼的样貌如何呢?

不好意思，我只记得吃，忘了把它给拍下来。。。

明年的中秋节，我肯定会再去买来吃的!

太好吃了!

退休以前，你会不会。。。

你欺我诈。
笑里藏刀。
口蜜腹剑。
阿谀奉承。
阿谀逢迎。
心狠手辣。
勾心斗角。
不是你死，就是我亡。
宁我负天下人，莫天下人负我。

你们还可以想到什么更负面的成语啊，谚语啊，还是俗话说的: 关于往上爬的成功格言吗?

啊，还有一句: 横行霸道!

我在沙滩走着时，突然看到了一只小螃蟹，真是高兴死了!

于是马上把它拍下来啦!

再走着，走着，看到了更多的小螃蟹横着走出沙面上了!

懒得拍了。。。

小螃蟹，它在沙滩上横着走，为的是找食物吗? 还是为了呼吸啊?

我已经忘了正确的答案了。。。

但我知道我为什么会。。。(续)

为的是: 那越来越贵的五斗米弯腰!!!

Never thought of it...

Are you familiar with these atomic models?

After I turned my head away for just a few minutes,

登登登! There's a new pair of new BIG & CUTE glasses!
Just can't underestimate my children's imagination, vision, creativity and innovation although they were already teenagers!

After they have completed their assignment, I thought: why not let them have some fun with the models? And another childhood hero was built (from my own interpretation)

Of course, there were others 'surprise' model built.

There were differences between boys and girls:
Boys would 'explore' the model out of the box.
Girls would arranged and placed the model built in order.

Thumbs up for you all, boys and girls!
And thanks for the memories!

中秋节愉快

很久没玩灯笼了!

也很久没玩蜡烛了!

吃饱月饼没事做，买几个灯笼来玩玩，还真不赖哦!

在此，我要祝

我的家人:安康

我的好朋友们:有情人的就终成眷属，有家庭的就继续婚姻美满，单身的就快快乐乐

我的子女们: SPM考到好成绩!

祝大家
月圆，人团圆。

中秋节愉快!

"寻找生命的坐标"---杏林子

My most favorite book, 'Where Am I?'

我最喜欢的书"寻找生命的坐标"

"追求"

‘追求得越多，失落的也越多，现代人的痛苦就在于我们永远不知道自己真正要的是什么!’

摘自"寻找生命的坐标"，杏林子。

或许， 我们都应该暂停下来，为自己定一定位，想想自己活着为了什么，这辈子要成就的又是什么。

摘自"寻找生命的坐标"，杏林子。

就因为"学海"周刊，我开始阅读杏林子的作品。

就因为杏林子文章，我重新整顿我的步伐。

这已经是在我就读大学之前的事了。。。

每当我开始迷惑时，

每当我开始觉得生命，生活好无奈时，

我就会想起上面那两句。

是它们帮我重新坚定意志，

重新让我看清楚我真正想要走的方向。

然后鼓起勇气，无畏地向那方向走去。

这时的我，真正的打从心里感到---快乐，平静。

旁人的眼光，意见，批评指正，鼓励---好听不好听的，都当作是一种磨练了。

无怨无悔。

你呢? 有没有也遇上影响你人生的书呢?

我所收集杏林子的书集。

我真会演戏吗?

在课程的‘闭幕’典礼，我的组员决定要演10分钟的喜剧。

由于筹备的时间很有限，全部的所谓‘演员’都差不多是来个即兴的排戏，即兴的演出。
只要位子站对了，那就行了。
有一位组长会带头演，又会指导是谁该出声的时候。
所以，演这喜剧，大家的心情都是蛮轻松的。

到了真正演出的时候。
---------------------------------------
这喜剧是戏说贫苦的状况。

A: Masa itu, saya hanya dapat makan nasi dan ubi kayu saja. Macam mana dengan kamu?
A: 那时候，我只得到吃白饭和木署而已。那你又如何呢?

我: Wah, lu dapat makan ubi kayu sudah kira nasib sangat baik liao lor! Wa hanya dapat makan kulit kayu saja!
我: 哇，你得到吃木署已经是算很好命了! 我只得到吃树皮而已!

这时观众就在开始笑了!
虽然我不知道有什么那么好笑?!
---------------------------------------
下台了以后，朋友们及组员们都说我好好笑，好会演。
他们还说我是这喜剧里的最佳女主角!
他们也说是我令这戏喜剧活起来。
组长也称赞我演得好。

当然，最重要的一句是:想不到你那么会演戏!
----------------------------------------
被人称赞当然是超爽啦!
但是，
后来，我想了一想:
是不是因为我平时蛮不苟言笑的，
所以只要我的言行举止有一点点不像平时的我，就会惹人笑呢?

爸爸说。。。

这是我在Langkawi Under Waterworld拍的。

现在

看着电视剧的女主角结婚了，爸爸说:

来，让我现在握着你的手。

我怕你结婚以后，再也没有机会像这样握著你的手了。

(虽然我现在连一个男朋友都没有)

当我从Langkawi回来时，爸爸说:
你知道吗?当你不在家时，我真的好闷。

________________________________

以前

当爸爸送我去别州读书过后，奶奶告诉我，爸爸没说什么，但爸爸的表情告诉奶奶说:

很舍不得女儿远离我，所以眼眶湿了。

(那时我还以为奶奶多心了，现在想起，应该是真的)

__________________________________

听了爸爸这么说，我心里真不知应该感到

庆幸，因为有一个这么疼我的爸爸

安慰，因为有一个这么想我的爸爸

心酸，因为是我让到爸爸感到寂寞

还是悲哀，因为生离死别即将是迈入年老父母的悲哀?

假如，有一天我当了妈妈，我会不会这样对我的女儿说呢?

爸爸，很感激你这么对我说。。。

Dear renee,

这是我在Langkawi的Pantai Cenang写给你的。

只要面试时面带笑容，有自信，就一定"行"!

送给我的子女2007

"喂，请问你还有在。。。吗?"
"我想问关于。。。的资料。"

"好，如果您有什么疑问， 我可以帮你问。。。"

"请问你知道我是谁吗?"

"嗯，不好意思，请问您是?"

"我是你的儿子啦! mother!"
(背后传来几个人的笑声!)

"哼，有没有搞错啊? 连阿妈你都敢整蛊?!真是岂有此理!"

"妈打，是我，你的女儿，你几时回来探望我们啊?"

"mother, 你几时带daddy来见我们啊?"。。。

妈打真没用，回答不了你们的问题。。。
过后，我还听到他们在比赛吃鸡肉!

今年是我的宝贝儿女们考SPM.
认识他们已是去年的事了。

也因为他们的一通电话，我就特地去沙滩上，写了我的祝福，送给我贴心的儿女们!

Let it be my memory

是时候卸下来了。

我还拍了许多张照片，会慢慢的放上来。

也算是给自己以后在此留恋。

反射。反映。反应。

这一张是我在Langkawi 的 Underwaterworld 拍的。

其实我也并没有真正的想focus些什么，我只是拍下starfish而以。

我所种的因，已经结出果来了。
就像这张照片一样，开始反射了。

我的宝贝们的成绩，因为我教得不好，所以考到非常的烂!

既然如此，我唯有重新整顿我的步伐。

我请他们反映出他们的真正看法，他们对我的要求。

-要时常面带笑容。
-要指出最容易解决的方法。
-要用讲故事的方法来教学。
-要有丰富肢体语言。

他们都毫无保留和诚实的讲了出来。

因为我对他们说: 我也想要进步! 请你们帮帮我!

讲了出来，听了进去，就要开始有所反应了!

跟自己说: 一定会要改变，一定会成功的!
加油吧!

意外收获

哇，连续在外工作了三个星期了，终于可以回家了。

八月三十一日二零零七年，我也还是在外边。
想到无法在家休息，心情真的是超闷的!

本来已睡着了，突然间觉得好热哦!
怎么停电了嘛! 心情都已经够糟的了!

砰! 砰! 砰!

哦，原来我所住的酒店，就在广场的附近!
好美的烟花哦!

好开心哦!

真是一个国庆日的意外收获啦!

由于本人的拍照技术有限，只有这一张才像烟花!

手伸出去，就像是触摸到了烟花一样!

虽然是迟了点，但还是祝大家: 国庆日愉快!

海龟。许愿。

很活跃的海龟宝宝哦! 一直爬个不停!

这可是我第一次亲手拿着海龟宝宝哦! 很特别哦!

我真是糟糕极了，鸡手鸭脚的拿着海龟宝宝，还得需要请小辈们帮忙!

At Turtle Santuary, Cherating, Pahang

在那里，每晚10。30分都会让观光客放海龟宝宝回大海。

而且还是免费的哦!

记得带videocam去，因为不可用flash拍照.

所以在沙滩时，我无法排下放海龟宝宝回大海的可爱画面。。。

在放开海龟宝宝回大海之前，妈妈打了个电话来:

"记得许愿哦! 放生海龟宝宝时许的愿可是很灵的哦!"

好，那我就来个别开生面的许愿吧(对于我这个土包子来说)!

那，我也不能那么自私，只是自己许愿，不跟他人分享嘛!

于是，我就跟隔壁的乖仔说了。然后乖仔就问我:

"要是海龟宝宝中途死掉了，那许的愿还灵不灵啊?"

听了这问题之后，你还会不会继续许愿啊?

又需要motivation?

好啦，考试完后，成绩也知道了。
简直是差到不得了!

我的宝贝们啊: 你们怎么连考个及格都难啊?到底是发生了什么事嘛?!给我老老实实的写下原因。

小纸条:其中之一的原因------没有给我motivation!

如果说是我的方法不适合，或无效，我都可以接受。motivation?!
什么嘛?已经是几岁的人儿啦?!还需要常常接收motivation!
之前都已经提醒好几次了，也要他们用自信的语气来回答: 我能的!

我之前在做推销员时，也有很沮丧的时候啊。
但我都是得学会靠自己安慰自己，鼓励自己重新奋斗过。
有谁会想motivate竞争对手啊?!
久而久之，工作上的沮丧就消失了。换来的是:自我检讨，重新出发!
Demotivation?很久没在我的字典里出现过了!
____________________________________

宝贝们啊:
有一个万能的母亲，就会有无能的儿女!(这是我个人的自私想法，虽然我还是喜欢我万能的母亲为我这个懒惰女儿所做的一切, 哈哈!)
虽然我很想，但我不可能永远都在你们的身边给你们鼓励!
如果我现在不开始学习放手，那你们几时才想，也才可自立呢?
我宁愿你们现在知道跌痛的滋味，也好过将来一失足成千古恨!
Motivation, 是靠自己的。。。

不可再侥幸了!

常常都拿这借口当挡箭牌:

"我还新，没什么经验嘛!

所以结果不好是预料中之事，这是不可以怪我的。

日子一久后，就会累积经验。

到时候的我一定会改进的，一定会有所进步的。"

也因为我还新，就算我做错了什么，他人都不会责怪我。反过来还会安慰我呢!

所以一有个什么闪失，都不必太自责，太内疚嘛!

不行了，这种态度会害己害人!

或许，我还在迷恋着之前的工作吧。

对于这份新的工作，还是无法一百巴仙的投入进去。

我决定了，再这样下去，就算别人不怪我，我也过不了自己那一关。

我决定了，我要重整，虚心受教，真正的为这份工作付出!

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。。。

学海，杏林子。

这是我在中学时常买的一份周刊: 学海

我会选拍这封面的原因是: 中学生，及在那时喜欢的作家之一---张曼娟。

中学生，唤起了我对这份周刊的回忆。

这份周刊，也从此慢慢的影响了我日后的人生。

这张封面，让我第一次感到: A picture speaks a thousand words.

这张封面让我感到很心酸，而且差点流泪! (在中学时，我认为流泪是很脆弱的表现)

以前总以为，照片一定要美美的，才可以打动人心。

原来，一张现实中活生生的事物，带出来的感触却是那么的深!

在那期里，还拍下了贫困孩童在非常简陋的建筑物上课。。。

感言: 要惜福，要感恩。

看看它的日期!
已经有十一年之久了耶!

这应该是‘学海’的意思吧!

这篇文章，是在‘学海’的其中一篇特约的专栏。

(我只拍开头，请恕不把全文拍出来)

杏林子写的这篇‘看不见的樱花’，是我永远都不会忘记的一篇!

杏林子:"一个只顾低头赶路的人，永远领略不到沿途的风光。"

它教会了我，就算过程多忙都好，记得看看周围的人与事物。

他们，它们都是值得我去学习，关怀，珍惜的。

这篇之后，凡是杏林子写的我都想要读。

感谢‘学海’让我读到杏林子的文章。

这也是我生命中转捩点之一。

From this magazine, I started to read motivation stories.

From this magazine, I'd got to know Ms Liu Hsia's articles.

From this magazine, and from Ms Liu Hsia's articles, my life change a little bit.

十五年后的我(2)Me, after 15 years(2)

经过半小时了，他们都还停不下笔来。
看来他们对十五年后的自己，真的是充满着无限的希望及想像。

好，时间到了! 一定要他们停下来了，要不然我就得加班了!

这也是我对你们唯一的要求。

After half an hour already, they still can't stop writing.

Even the perception of standard of occupation also becoming deeper and deeper!

In the end, I only tell them:
Anything can happen. No matter how impossible or ridiculous it was, it can be done by you!
Most importantly, you must live happily, calmly, freely and not breaking the laws.
That's my only demand from you all.

十五年后的我(1)Me, after 15 years(1)

前几天，我的宝贝们被逼写下一个老掉牙的题目: 十五年后的我。

天啊，这个题目在前两个月时，早就被其他人叫他们写了。
现在还要叫他们写同样的题目，真是闷死人了!
可我有什么法子，我也只是奉命‘刑事’而已。。。

所以呢，我就问了他们:
"上次你们写的是不是一些正经八百的人生目标啊?"

他们答:"是的!"

我早就料到了，然后说:"好，这次我也要你们画下你们十五年后，你们会变成怎样。但我要你们写下来及画下你们所真正想要的，就算是毫无可能发生的，也不要紧! 然后再写多一个在十五年后，现实中的你应该是怎样的。你们要写下来"what"和"how"。"

一班十八九岁的宝贝们，会想变成怎样呢?

A few days ago, my precious were forced to write down a very traditioned title: Me, after 15 years.

Oh my god! This title had been written by them two months before, by other people command, of course.
Now, I still have to ask them to write the same thing, this would really bored them to death!
But what way can I come out with? I'm just carrying out the order...

So, I asked them:"Last time, you all write down the typical goal, right?
They answered, "Yes!"

Just what I've predicted! Then I said, "Okay, this time I would like you to draw and write down what would you become after 15 years. Only this time, I want you to write down what you would really want to be after 15 years! Although it might be impossible to happen, it doesn't matter! And then, write down another one which you think would really happen in reality after 15 years. You need to write down 'what' and 'how'."

A bunch of 18 or 19 years old precious kids, what would they want to turn out to be?

Flag Day 2007

Hari Bendera 2007

Still remember that there will be one day in a year where we'll see the St John Ambulance students walking round the street of an area to collect donation with the white tin?

Well, today is the day again!

The Flag Day, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm a "puteri lilin"("candle princess" if you know what I mean).

So, I hate these kind of activities which exposed me to heat and the sun! I never took part in those uniform units because I knew I can't stand it. Cut me OUT!

Now, looking at the young St John Ambulance students walking around collecting donation, I won't avoid them anymore! I asked them to come to me and I donate.

It's great that these young people help the society whether voluntarily or force to volunteer! Hahaha! Anyway it's a good intension indeed!

And after I donated, the boys said,

'Thank you, auntie!'

Oh, the word I hated most when someone greeted me with!

AUNTIE!

Arrrh!!!!!!!

What to do? Just got to admit getting old and is old liao!

Looking at them walking away, I could only feel regretted because I seldom or almost never contribute to the society with the only asset I had when I'm a teenager, ie my energy!

Although it needed a lot of energy, time and feeling uncomfortable under the hot sun, feeling shy to ask for donation, it's a form of contribution, training, and experience as well!

I had missed out all that valuable things in my teenage years already!

_____________________________________

After thoughts:

So now, I hope I won't miss out anymore valuable experiences!

Love between man and woman is one of it, and just one part of it.

There're other parts of life which I don't want to miss out also.

If I have children, I would tell them the same thing.

And force them to join these active uniform units to learn how to contribute to the society! Hahaha!

Don't repeat the steps of their mama!

开始付出 Starting to contribute

总以为，要等到退休后，才可以开始亲身体力地去回馈社会。

原来，很多人都并不是如此。
无论是什么年龄层，什么样的身份背景，都已经开始在付出了。

付出，不一定要跟金钱有关系的，才叫付出。

付出了的时间，爱心，耐心，心意，心思 ----都是一种付出。

在付出的当而，虽然不祈求任何回报，但其实已有回报了!
那回报就是 --- 有得付出!
跟"色即是空，空即是色"差不多同意思啦!

I always thought that I would have to wait after I retired from my work, only then I can volunteer myself to contribute to the society.

Actually, many people aren't like that.
No matter at what age level, what kind of social background, many of them have already started to contribute themselves to the society.

Contribute, might not have anything to do with money, and only then it can be meant as contribute.

Contributing time, love, patience, thoughts, --- are also one type of contributes too.

When contributing, although I'm not hoping for any return, but there's already a return for me!
The return is --- able to contribute!
It almost has the same meaning as "colour is empty, empty is colour"!(a buddhism saying)

Oh no, I'm old!

Reading through the magazine, there was one column that attracted me:

Becoming a happy modern senior citizen!

Have you notice that there are a lot of senior citizen taking photos like the professionals in the park?

Have you notice that some of the senior citizen are very good at computer?

Have you notice that senior citizen started to go back to school, or pick up new skills?

I have the simptoms such as describe in the column what a happy senior citizen should do!

I'm really getting old liao!

And happy lah, of course! Haha!

Self-talking

I couldn't deny that I want the best, I want to be the best!
But things wouldn't go well as planned, as always!

Yes, I can't have any plan. Through my experience, once I started to plan for something, it will go wrong or turn out to be not what I've wanted!

So, what else can I do?

Just think from another angle only loh!

Although I'm not in the best position, but at least I will and do try my best to make the best out of the worst!
And I can't deny that I'm still looking forward to the best position!

Hey, this position, as what other perceive it as lousy, is also worth a try!

To make myself much happier, I can only tell myself that:
No matter who has a sit at the best position, that is not really much up to challenge. It is because it's already a comfort zone.
If I can sit at a bad position and turn it into the best position, that's what I call a real challenge! Not any Tom or Dick can simply do it!

Okay, what happen next?

Life goes on lor!

Movie Comment: The Perfect Catch(2005)

Today was a typical Sunday where I spend most of my time watching TV because it rained all day long!

Ok, switching channels all the time and hey, she's Drew Barrymore! Alright, stop for a while to watch this movie because I liked her performance.

Then, I read the plot summary for Fever Pitch (or The Perfect Catch as it appeared on the TV) before I decided whether I would continue to switch channel or not!
It's about a teacher, Ben Wrightman(Jimmy Fallon) fell in love with a workaholic Lindsey Meeks(Drew Barrymore). Will their romance last when Lindsey discovers Ben's obsession with base ball team, Boston Red Sox? The story is based on Nick Hornby's novel "Fever Pitch".

The movie is funny, lovable and quite realistic when it comes to solving problems that arrises when two get together along the way.

Which part of the movie touches me the most?
It's when Lindsey said to Ben(Sorry, I can't remember the whole line but it sound something like this), "If you love me enough to give it up for me, then I can say that I love you enough to not let you give it up for me!"

Whoa, that's great!

When I'm watching The Perfect Catch, I was thinking: if I'm Lindsey, I would turn Ben down right away when I found out he was too obsessed with the base ball team, and when he made me feel embarassed infront of my parents and others! I'm the type that jumps to conclusion quickly when I discovers one's weaknesses.

So, would the ending of this movie belongs to me? Certainly NOT!

True love, in reality, is just all about the acceptance and sharing of sacrifice and tolerance between each other. Without acceptance and tolerance, there wouldn't be any true love. And if there should be any chemistry sparkle between each other, it won't last long either!

That is what I learned from Lindsey and Ben in The Perfect Catch today!
Not a boring day after all!
Thank you for the great story in The Perfect Catch!

Being Addicted to...!

Are you expecting replies or responses when you own one of these?

I knew I did!



Handphone:

Once I've got to look at my handphone so often because I was waiting and hoping the next reply or message would appear as soon as possible.

Even when I'm working, I just couldn't get my eyes of it!
(Yeah, I know it's not professional to do so! But...sometimes I'm just an ordinary human!)

When there was no reply at all, I would feel so upset and felt let down.
I feel so empty when it didn't beep beep anymore......


When I looked at other people getting messages so often, my feelings were even worse!



Mail: Email of course!
(I wonder if there were any people still write letters when they can email?)

When I started to use email, I was so eager to see that there would be new mails for me each time I check my inbox.

Then, I not only wanted to see mails, but I want to see mails which replies and ask me new questions.

I want to be cared for, I guess.


Blogging:

It's a new stuff I'd get to know from newspaper.
I tried blogging.

And it feels good to be able to express myself and share my feelings and thoughts with others!

Now, it's not just about expressing and sharing anymore.
I'm hoping that there will be more bloggers looking or reading through my blog.
I'm hoping to get more comments from either my friends or bloggers.
I just can't forget how happy I am when I've got a comment from you!

Once I come back from work, the first thing I'll check is my blog! Everyday!

I wouldn't deny this. Yes, I want more attention and recognition!

Should I say that I have turned all these desires into habits?

Or should I say I am a "REPLIES" ADDICT?

When you have free time, what would you be doing?

When there are new stuffs around, would you be even of thinking to try them out?

When you can't just continue what you were used to do for quite some times, what would you do then?

Take care, HEALTH!

We will never take care of our body!
We just keep using up the quotas fast!

Before you realise it, you have used up all the quotas!

What happen next?

Taking medicine everyday knowing it will not be cured!
Can't simply eat or drink anything because the effects will be felt soon afterward!
Critically financially burdened!
Families worry!
And hopefully not to become a burden to most beloved family and friends!

And all these shall CONTINUE, UNTIL our quota of life END!
How long is it, or should I say how soon is it?

快乐当单身(2)! Being single, happily(2)!

无论是当单身也好，有伴侣也好，最要紧的还是"心态"!

当然要羡慕，但不要过分的嫉妒。

一定要积极的追求，但不要太过于强求!

是天堂，还是地狱，都在于当下的心态。

应该有听过这故事吧:
在地狱，有三个饿坏肚子的人，都各自在想尽办法用自己无法弯曲的手喂自己吃上一口饭。

在天堂，也有三个饿坏肚子的人，都各自在用自己无法弯曲的手喂对方吃上一口饭。


我，现在还是单身，也很羡慕身边有伴侣，有儿女的朋友们。
我，现在的生活也算蛮充实的(其实是自己想办法让它充实的)，也没什么不快乐啦!
我，现在虽然学着当一个快乐的单身，但我不会放弃积极的寻找我未来伴侣的机会的!
哈哈哈!

No matter single, or not available, the most important is the "thought" itself.

We must feel envy, but don't be over jealous.

Must chase our dream aggressively, but not to be too forceful to achieve it.

Whether it's heaven, or it's hell, it depends on your thoughts at that moment.

I'm think most of us have heard of this story:

In hell, there were three hungry people, each of them were trying to feed themselves with their unbendable hand.

In heaven, there were also three hungry people, each of them were using their unbendable hand to feed each other.

I, who now is still single and available, also envy of my friends who have soulmate and children.
I, who now have quite a not so free life (actually, it was I who tried to make my life more busy), also not have anything to be upset about.
I, who now, although is trying to be a happy single, would not give up chances of finding my future partner, aggresively!
HAHAHA!

I'm PAKU-PAKIS

Still remember this plant, it's in the center of the tree, it has long leaves? We used to learned about it during our secondary school!

It survive or feed on other plant. But it won't harm the host plant or mother plant.

I, survive and feed on others' stories everyday!

Well, you might think that I like to gossip. Sorry, I don't like to gossip OFTEN, but OCCASIONALLY only! Hahaha......

Like paku-pakis, I absorb "nutrients" from the stories around me.

And like paku-pakis, I also get "sunshine" from the great stories surrounding me.

Be it useful or harmful "nutrients", they are my "sunshine"!


What happen if I lack of "essential nutrients" or I hunger for more "nutrients"?


I will let go my "spores" to new plants! And grow on the new plants!


Let the new cycle begin!

No parking at the Charity Food Fair!

Today I wanted to go to the Charity Food Fair organized by Eden Handicap Service Centre Berhad, a non-profit Christian run-organisation.

But when I reached there, not just a long queue of cars waiting for parking, no cars were allowed to enter the venue at all. Some just parked their car along the roadside even there's the white line there! For a sometimes coward driver like me who is afraid to get another SAMAN, and too skillFOOL to do a side-parking, I just have to kiss the Charity Food Fair goodbye!

I must give thumbs up for the public who supported the Charity Food Fair because of their great generosity and participation to help the Eden Handicap Service Centre!

Well, since I couldn't be there, I'll just wait for other days to go over there and donate directly. Actually, my mum asks the Eden Handicap Service Centre worker to collect my house old newspaper for recycling for three years already. And we'll continue to support the Eden Handicap Service Centre!

I came to know Eden Handicap Service Centre Berhad through the books of the founder of Eden Social Welfare Foundation in Taiwan, Ms Liu Hsia. Through Ms Liu Hsia's books, I started to know what does Eden means. Her writings inspires me deeply!

PS: I'm a Buddhist. But it when comes to helping the less fortunates, I know NO religion beliefs+race+nationality! Its the thoughts of helping voluntarily that counts! Thank you!

学习当一个快乐的单身(1)! Learn to be single, happily(1)!

。。。。。。。。。。

总共有几个句号呢?

答案: 十个 + 十秒过去了!

以前，总觉得时间很难过。
现在? 简直一眨眼就来到了星期五了也!

X十大关也快要到了!
还是单身一个也!

怎么办?

与其烦着，还不如快乐着更好!

有些本领是天生的，有些是需要学习的。

当个快乐的单身，也是需要学习的!

那要怎么做呢?

下次再写下我的心得。

境无损益，损益在人。

法无善恶，善恶是法。

摘自星云法师

对我而言，

境无苦乐，苦乐在人。

法无不行，不行是法。

. . . . . . . . . .

How many orange dots are there?

Answer: Ten + Ten seconds pass away!

Previously, time seems to pass by so slowly.

Now, just a while, it's Friday already!

And I almost reach my X's already!

And I'm still single!

What to do?

Instead of being felt troubled, being happy is even better!

Some talents are gifted, some talents are to be learned!

Being a happy single is also a lesson to be learned!

So, what to do then?

I'll write down my "findings" next time.

Environment has no harm or benefit, harm or benefit lies on human oneself.

Law has no kindness or cruelty, kindness or cruelty is the law itself.

By Reveran XING YUN.

(Please forgive for my poor translation in English)

To me,

Enviroment has no hardness or hapiness, hardness or hapiness lies on human oneself.

Way has no limitation, limitation is the way.

无法这样对她们说。。。

有些人很奇怪，将上一代的悲剧(还不至于是悲剧啦，应该是不愉快的日常生活)，继续延续的下去。

然后呢，她们就会觉得是理所当然的。
她们觉得是伟大的。
她们选择性的逼自己牺牲了，所以她们觉得很委屈，很不满足。
想要改变，又总觉得不可能。
想想上一代都是这样挨过来的，自己也一定可以的!
就这么忍下去吧!

这时也只能抱怨罢了，还能怎样呢?

当她们的牺牲不被认同时，或有人说中她们的心声时，可以想像得到的那种泪水掉下的情景吧!

谁对谁错，谁都无法断定。

如果不想再这么下去，就尽力的去改吧!

改不了，唯有知足吧! 试着快乐吧!

常常抱怨，也已于事无补了。。。

造成的，就只有延续以前的不快而已!

My DEAR sons!

前几天，很意外地看到手机显示"大仔"来电!

原来，他们去参加操步比赛时，看到了"槟城"队伍，才想起在槟城的这个mother!
他们问我会支持哪一队赢这场比赛。

废话，我当然是支持我的儿子们啦!
替他们加油，结果换来的是"mother,原来你也是汉奸!"
真是气死我了! 生儿子啦，生儿子啦。。。


还好，他们还记得关心我!
问我新的工作环境怎样啊?
最重要的还是问我"我的father在哪里? 找到我的father了没? 我只要跟father讲电话!"

不好意思啦，我真是愧对于你们了。
这个mother的吸引力很差，吸不到一个father给你们啦!
找得到的话，一定第一时间请他打电话给你们罗!

我也希望有这么一天啊! 我比你们还着急呢!
哈哈!

A nice lesson!

Last Sunday, I attended a class on how to do a presentation.

Our voluntary facilitator came down all the way from KL just to help us how to present ourselves to the children when teaching dharma class.

I enjoyed the presentation by the facilitator very much because he used all the techniques to make the presentation interesting. He also tells stories and asked us to get involved when he introduced each techniques. In this way, we won't be bored. When he gave comment, it's an encouragement and not posing a threat to the participants. What he taught us had helped me to realize my weaknesses during presentation and know how to improve on it for the sake of my precious.

Before we began our practical presentation, he taught us about eye contact, gesture, positioning, voice, ownership of the environment and ... Alright, we knew all about it, but how well can we master it?

There were only six participants in that class. So, all of us got a chance to present our 2 short minutes presentation. Although it was just a 2 minutes presentation, it seems liked quite a long time for us when we were presenting!

Okay, practical time!

How was my performance?

I was too stiff on my position, I didn't move at all during the whole presentation. My gesture was too small.
And I talked too fast! Talking too fast had been my greatest enemy in presentation since primary school. Until today, I still can't get rid of it. I must try to be more relax and slow down my speech.

The second chance was given and I did some improvement on gesture and did speak slower.

The next day when I go back to my work, I wanted to practice some of techniques. But too bad, I had soar throat! So just wait until I recover lah...

Go to Penang Floral Festival 2007!

Today I went to Penang Floral Festival 2007
ALONE!

No choice lah! My friends here prefer shopping than looking at the flowers mah!

It had been many many years I hadn't step onto Penang Botanic Garden already. I thought there would be less people going there today since the sun was so hot. When I reached there, ALAMAK! so many people and cars! It's very hard to find parking especially for the skillFOOL driver like me. I was thinking 'TO QUIT OR NOT TO QUIT', and then luckily I got a space to park my mini car. So now, I don't have to worry if there was less crowd in the Floral Festival, and being alone was too obvious!

The first section I visited was the Quarry Garden. All the orkids and em.... were there. There was a floral competition there on the first day. I got to see which flowers won the prizes. Those flowers are really lovely.

Some are very complicated. Some are very simple.

And among all, the flower I loved most was the white orkid with big petals. There's no need to add any decoration to the orkids, because the orkids themselves are the ART! It's mother nature wonder!

Then, I proceed to the section of Garden Landscaping. There were about 10? mini garded landscape. I liked one of them most. And to my surprise, my favorite was the first prize winner!

The third section would be Floral Arrangement. The artists used different material to arrange the flowers. The one which used sunflower with the tyre was my favorite! Its very innovative and creative!

The fourth section would be the Floral Market where all kinds of flowers and plants were sold here. Many people were buying them after seeing the beautiful sample of the display here. I wanted to buy the orkid, but I really don't know how to take care of them. So just let other take of it lah!

And not to forget that there was a garden in the Botanic Garden also. Many people were snapping photos with their family member. A little girl was looking at me when I passed by, while her father wanted to snap my photo. So I quickly walked away. What a cute little girl! The garden was decorated with colourful flowers and fountains!

The last section I visited was the Environmental Education....Sorry, forgotten the name. It had all kind of activities there such as showing chromatography of leaves, the padi field, tissue culture demonstration and ...Too bad I couldn't stay there to wait for all the activities to be carried out.


Where are the photos?
Well, I didn't have the camera today because my mum took it to KL.

Let's those beautiful scenery stored in my memory card (my brain)!



Some extra stories:
I heard some said that they should came at the first day of the festival. You know, flowers sometimes are very weak, they might had lost their beauty already when it comes to the end of the festival!

Some said they dare not go to the Quarry Garden because it's a little bit further away from the crowd. So some were afraid to go over there! Just imagine what had the visitor would missed!

And some were wondering if there were any section that they missed out. Because there were no clear map to show all the section in the garden for the floral festival.

典型的处女座。。。(1)

典型的处女座的特征之一: 太过于谨慎。



有时候，我真的很想把所有事情的经过都给写下来，所谓"不吐不快"嘛!

但，想了一想，如果无意间得罪了某些人，那可不是自讨苦吃吗?

还是不要乱来好了。。。可是这样子又写得不痛快耶!


真是典型处女座的烦人。。。不只是谨慎，而且还很龟毛!!! (连跟我不是太熟落的同事也这么说)

好想变成其他星座的人噢!
