Life

what is life? I have sometimes thought of it but still seeking the true meaning of life.. This holiday I kept browsing through facebook frens' pages and I saw a lot of them actually changed a lot.. of course, some are from a rich family, they live a very luxurious life.. the place, the things they have, many of us couldn't get.. but my thoughts just changed once I read wei chien's mail.. it's about the poor people in china.. they really live a tough life..compared to them, I felt I'm way better than them..

Honestly, I'm grateful I didn't change. Looks aren't important, glamour arent too.. They can have riches, study abroad, go for parties, wear beautiful clothes, have bfs, watever.. but I dont care.. Im more grateful because Im able to donate blood, I have registered to be an organ donor, I have helped three kids in china to school.. (with one in university now.. Im having buddhist classes since young, now voluntarily go for moral building classes for kids, I have good frens, family and I have the courage to give up my seat in the public transport without feeling awkward.. I'm grateful god give me these.. it makes my life more meaningful.. rather than just enjoying my own, put money is something that is not eternal.. thank God who teach me this.. I rather dont have these frens but I will go on for charity.. the things that are with us forever is morality and good deeds.. we may enjoy today.. but if we dont save for a living.. we may suffer tomorrow.. Glad Im at what I want now.. next target will be a vegetarian.. =) live life.. as u will die tomorrow.. good quote..

充实的圣诞假期

一考完试, 我就赶回家开班, 因为一年一度难得的道育班又来了, 这次也和去年一样, 都在考完试后的那天举行。 这一次比较幸运,因为我还有机会听第一天的课。又见到吕阿姨和俞大欣讲师了, 很高兴也很感恩,因为有她们的付出, 我们才有机会上道育班的课。

接下来一个星期,我每天都在忙。忙什么呢? 忙圣事。。 哈哈 星期一去送机,好舍不得,也辛苦两位讲师了。吕阿姨还千叮万嘱我把教案课程编排好。星期二太累了, 不能爬起来,没到张姐那边帮忙。下来几天, 我一直都对着电脑,翻译教案,整理资料, 以确保课程能顺利进行; 还一直联系着阿姨,校对资料。星期三晚上,到佛堂开会讨论道育班的细节,回来又是整理资料。

星期五,圣诞节来咯! 也是爸的生日。我们一早到佛堂那块地去拜拜,台湾吴坛主和黄坛主到来帮忙护持, 也帮一些道亲和我们看看屋子的风水,感谢吴坛主指点。过后还吃了丰富的午餐。回来后翻译最后一批资料了, 好期待这星期的道育班。。这是第一次辦,所以希望能办得顺利, 圆满。叩求仙佛慈悲。

明天要到佛堂演练最后一次课程,还要叩求仙佛慈悲。期待始业式顺利,道育班长久进行。感谢天恩师德, 每一次假期时都有机会辦佛事, 消业力了愿。阿姨说因为我有心,但是我觉得仙佛真的很慈悲给我们机会。忙完后又要赶论文了,希望一切顺利。

Singing Competition 2009

Yesterday, me n housemates, yen n yihong went for the annual Singing Competition 2009 of UTAR music Club. This time, we were there to support our champion, Mr Joe Ho Chih Wei.. haha that nite was cool.. just like kent said, rock n roll.. funny audiences,contestants n committees n helpers as well.. haha.. everyone shouted n cheered for their contestants and of course we cheered for Joe.. until our throats were sore.. hehe

Joe sang a duet with Szee Ling, a chinese song by Lihom n Selina, '你是我心里的一首歌,You're a Song in my Heart', then Adam Lambert's No Boundaries for second round of contest. man, he rocks!! he carried the song right away and successfully sang well.. then the final round came.. he sang his best song '新不了情 Xin Bu Liao Qing' and touched the crowd.. imagine the whole crowd was so silent.. and even the judges praised him well enough..

Finally, the results came.. the emcees played a silly joke with the audience becoz when they asked us who will be the champion, everyone there cheered for Joe n they 'rehearsed' the results as 'May' (1st runner up).. luckily in the end Joe made it.. he is the champion for the Singing Competition 2009! haha congrats to him..

Looking back, the event was successful.. just like what we did last year.. i can still remember last year we are the organizing committees, helpers n we helped to organize the event throughout.. now, im the audience n the different roles played during an event gives a different feeling.. where good memories lie.. it's always a zest of a boring life..^^

Tired Day

Today is indeed a very tired day for me.. why? coz since morning I woke up, went for my moral test, then formation for our class pre-grad photo. we spent quite some time to pose, then rushed to pj, coz peini supposed to hand her car back to her mum.. then, we need to go for data collection.

We took the ktm, to PWTC, then went to the career fair to collect our data. It was raining heavily, we spent the whole afternoon there.. walking, asking, distributing questionnaires to the target respondents.. we walked for hours, stood for hours.. although the respondent rate is not high.. but we still managed to achieve our target of 400 data.. which means our mission is accomplished!! haha

Then, around 6 o clock, we started to head back.. hungry, we went to the nearby mall to look for some food.. but sadly to say, there were only 3 choices.. McD, PizzaHut and a chicken rice shop... not much choices, we went to midvalley, which takes about 15 minutes train ride.. but, the train was slow, crowded.. and by the time we reached mid valley, we were also bit exhausted coz of the huge crowd..

When we got off the train, we met a group of youngsters... asking us to donate money.. i felt cheated, wanted to run away but unsuccessful.. i didn pay in the end coz i sensed something fishy, but peini paid RM 10 in the end.. which made me felt that i should pull her away that time... but what can i do.. everything was too late.. just to buy a lesson anyway..

We ate croquettes n spaghetti at Midvalley's Spaghetti farm, quite full for me, coz usually i didn eat much. then we walked for a while and head back ourselves. Peini took her bus back to pj, but i have to walk back to the ktm station which has those cheaters again.. I told myself, i will never let them come near me. Indeed, as i stepped down from the escalator, the big group was there. This time, a girl came, I said 'sorry, I'm rushing n when she wanted to explain more, I shoot out my last sentence: ' I have no money!' thats it. That put her stop from where she's standing and i walked quickly straight to the ticket booth. Between the ticket booth n the cheaters are the celcom promoters. One guy saw me n smiled to me and said, 'u r lucky to have run away.' he did the same thing as what i've done, just signed our name and went away.. why they are really cheaters!

At first, they ask us to support the art craft which were hand made, n they said they need our signature as a vote to support the art. then, they said they wont force us to contribute anything, just as much as we can afford. When im about to pay, i saw the list contains RM 20 to 30 only.. so i started to question them. I talked to peini n said each of us write RM 5. Then they said cant, coz at least we should write RM 10. I was furious, coz from the beginning they are pulling us into a trap. They didn say we need to pay, just to vote!. later , we need to pay RM 10!! I'm not going to give in like that, so i just cancel off my name. Dont care whether he's angry or not. why they are the ones who are dishonest! Unfortunately, peini paid RM 10 to them.. sigh

well, since my frens 'kena' (had it for 2 cases now), I should tell others to beware of this.. they are really cheating on ppl's money. I dont care whether they are cheating or truly supporting the needy but the way they conduct is cheating. Luckily, I didn wait long for the train n bus to come n Im safely home..my legs are so tired n my shoes are soaked with water.. i just need to take a good rest.. thank God..

Life is So Fragile

Human's life is really fragile. We will never know when we will leave this world. Last Sunday, three UTARians from Kampar campus were drowned at the Batang Berangkai Waterfall near Kampar. They were swept by the sudden quick flow of water and was heard no more..

At once, UTAR was filled with a mood of sadness.. three of the victims are very young..only 19 and 20 yrs old.. having a great life and bright future.. but, God took their lives too soon.. Many of their frens were sad and others like me, felt terrified by the accident. It just reminds me that we may leave our frens and family without any signs.. all we could do is to appreciate and cherish our lives and happy moments together.. RIP.. the three victims..

This reminded me about something that I wanted to write here... which is entitled, 'If I was Dead'
sounds like Im leaving my will here.. haha but anyhow.. anything can happen..

Please dont be too sad.. I will be where I am.. stay strong and continue with your life..

Well, if I'm dead all of a sudden, I would like to tell :
My parents: Thank you for loving me and taking good care of me throughout my life. I wished I have made you proud. I love you, mum and dad.

My godmother: Thank you for loving me with all your heart since I was a baby. I love you too, Kai ma.. thank you for all the good things you bought me.. and the wonderful life experiences you taught me..

My brother: Hey, be a good guy k.. I know you are abit bad tempered but you are you.. if i'm not here.. take good care of mum and dad.. dont let them worried bout you so much.. take care.. thanks for being my bro.. and also a play mate since young..

My uni frens: chery, Cheeying, yihong, yinchia, chia yen, wei chien, chui wei, clara, chaw mien, sufei, peini,.. and many many others... my best sisters of course!! haha we have shared sad and happy moments together in uni.. i really appreciate that very much.. you guys are really good sisters..

My other uni frens: BAC 11, other lecture mates, music club members especially xiao wei, kai wen, kent, chee boon, kok seong, and others.. thank you for making my uni life wonderful.. hope we will always be frens..

My secondary school sisters: of course not forgetting all of you.. haha I can sense some jealousy here.. ok ok,, here it goes.. sukyee, jiayi, meiling, huiqian, suetching, ruilin, christine, shu zhen, tianhun, chen chin.. and many other puterians.. miss you guys.. all the best for all of you...oh and also not forgetting primary school frens.. haha.. i will never forget all of you.. :)

My special one in my heart: thank you for making my life wonderful.. you have your great sense of humour.. will remember your high tech jokes always.. -) always a person who truly understands me.. thank you for enlightening my heart.. will miss you..smile and take care always

Anyone i've left out or hurt before: Im sorry if i have hurt you.. sincerely sorry.. hope you can get through this as time goes by.. forgive me..

And the very last wish: I hope that my organs can be donated to the needy.. I want to be an organ donor..I insist it..

thank you.. just in case I have no time or opportunity to say all of these..


Broga Hill

My blog has been resting for at least a week now.. time to put some updates... hehe.. last Fri, 12 of us from BAC 11, woke up as early as 4am in the morning!!.. haha why? coz we are heading for the broga hill climb!..

At 5 am, we gathered and head to broga with 3 cars.. reached there bout 6 am.. coz went lost for a while n waited for each other.. then, we began our climb. At first, we will pass through a small oil palm plantation, then came to a split road.. we went to the wrong side of the road and we have spent extra time to go back to the starting point whereby we should take right. Then, we started climbing. Gosh the road was so steep and some places are quite hard to climb on... the previous climbers have made paths for other climbers to climb and some places are provided ropes to pull with becoz the path is steep to climb.. we panted and puffed until we reached the top 3 look out points. the first look out point has a big rock where we can sit on the rock and take a view of the broga valley.. as we went higher, there are steps built on the slope and we can just keep on climbing to the higher lookout point.. the view was superb!! we reached the second top and we were too tired to continue to the highest point. Then, we were busy taking photos with each other and also breathing in fresh air under the morning sunlight..

As the sun went brighter, we slowly went down again.. gosh, our knees are quite hurt becoz of the steep slope. After the climb, we went to semenyih town to have our breakfast.. yummy penang food.. haha.. tired but a healthy and happy halloween day.. ^^wish to revisit that place again with more frens...

Used vs. Loved

Wei Chien forwarded me an email, which I thought very meaningful and would like to share it here as a reminder to myself:

While a man was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked up a stone
and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand

and hit it many times not realizing
he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers

due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father.....

with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless;

he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions......

sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;

the child had written
'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits;

choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
life & remember this:

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today's world is

that people are used while things are loved.

Let's try always to keep this thought in mind:

Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.


Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder..

I hope you have a good day no matter what problems you may face

it's the only day you'll have before it's over.

Through the Bus Window

I saw your motorbike passed by,
Not sure it was yours, at first,
Then, I saw your familiar figure,
With the usual and common white-tee and blue jeans;
And your short hair and specs,
With the brightest eyes, blinking,
Towards the morning sunlight.
I was watching you all the while,
After having some time we have not met,
And of course, you did not notice me in the bus,
Coz you are hurrying by.

快乐崇拜

有时候,快乐可以很简单。
有时候,孤单也可以很快乐。
今天,一些朋友出外看电影,我没跟着去,但是和屋友去附近的小吃档吃小吃。我们吃了rojak, satay 和烧豆腐。吃完了,我们逛杂货店, 还回顾了童年时玩乐的游戏机。嗯,还真是一种享受呢!
虽然转出来的‘鸡蛋’没有想要的东西,但是,我们笑闹一番,也是一种简单的快乐。那种毫不花太多钱的快乐。真的可以很简单,也很轻松自在。
现在,一个人在房间,做自己想做的东西,听喜欢的音乐,享受这片刻的孤单,也蛮过瘾的!哈哈。有时把烦恼抛开,轻松一下也不错!:)

Life can sometimes be boring..

So, the new sem started, I went back to my hostel yesterday.. met my mates, chit chatted until midnight n nobody's willing to go to bed!! haha..
Then, woke up early today, went for the first tutorial of this sem, business ethics and actually done nothing much on the first day, but got a shock becoz our assignment is due on week 3!!.. after that, went to mid valley, ate portugese grilled vegetable, tasted good for me, spicy as usual.. :) but we didn spend much time at mid valley. After a few walks, we just head back around 2.30 pm. reached home at 3.30pm, done nothing but online, and finally got the pps chinese input right but alas the line is slow, cant watch my favorite movie... then do nothing much.. except restless n bored... haha
life can be so boring sometimes.. its just like wasting time.. i hope i can have my movies ready or my books.. btw, thx to sufei, I saved my money on twilight series!! haha

Another Disappointment

Again, my results for this semester has gone worse. I'm not expecting much and I did not put high hope to my results but the fact is no matter how hard I've tried, the outcome is always undesirable. I do not want to give up but is this where I will end up to? I've tried harder and harder and my aims are still the same and again I fell. People are improving day by day but I will still go worse. Imagine from all the years I've been studying my results are dropping? What's wrong with me now? It's not that I did not study, I've spent my time doing tutorials, notes, memorizing, past years.. and everything turned out not enough for me. I don't want this to happen and it still happened. Sadly to say, I'm numbed to this kind of results. Maybe being too good at the beginning made me feel harder to maintain in the end. I know I shouldn't give up. I know I should keep holding on.. but do I have the courage to strive on? In fact I can predict what is my next result. I wanted to graduate with first class, having a book prize. That is my final target. But with these undesirable outcome of my finals, I really doubt that I can win in the end. Well, what will be will be. All I can do is to work extra hard for the last two semesters and pray for a miracle. Hope I can achieve what I want to achieve in the end.

嘲笑自己

老毛病又犯了,最后受傷的還是自己。下定決心,不再理會,愛惜自己更重要!!
YAY! 活在當下!自己選擇快樂的軌道!不要對那些蠻不講理的人計較! 修自己的內德,多行功了愿, 少說話, 多做事。忍一時風平浪靜, 退一步海闊天空。

Being Alone

Sometimes, I just love to be alone at home.. sounds weird huh? but that's what I like to do.. haha.. coz when you're alone, u can actually do anything you like with nobody disturbing you.. you can sing as loud as u can, play piano as long as you can, online, watch movies, play games or on the radio n sing along while reading.. bla.. that's what I normally do when I'm alone at home.. haha
Simply love this feeling.. with your own space, your own privacy n freedom...and given a choice, I rather stay at home than going out to shop.. ( yea I know I'm prone to being a 'Homegirl')
But... Freedom should be doing something purposeful and legal.. haha :)

My Cravings...

Recently I'm crazy bout music and books... Yiruma, Kevin Kern.. all those relaxing, sentimental music.. especially these two pianists.. they are superb!! And, the happiest is that I've managed to get their piano scores and I've been playing Yiruma's Kiss The Rain, River Flows in You, I, Maybe and When The Love Falls..Feels so excited when you can play all day long, with nobody disturbing you and your fingers can run freely on the black and white keys.. other than that, hitz songs like Taylor Swift, The Saturdays-- Issues, Akon's Be With You, Colbie Caillat's Falling for You, etc etc.. haha these songs will lighten up my day when I turned on the radio. XD

Next, I've been craving for New Moon!! wonder how should I buy it? Bookstore? online? well the prices are bout the same and I really want to read the series, coz the movie's coming this november.. cant wait..

As usual, I'm still reading Reader's Digest and some chinese novels as well.. ooh love them as well!!

A Bit Frustrated...

One week gone.. now its the start of my second week of my sem break... but I'm a bit frustrated coz our thesis data source is stucked... I have sent letters to alumni boards of various universities and sadly to say.. there were only two replies and all of them are unfavorable.

sigh... Malaysia's universities has lack of support and effort for research programs.. the excuses given are they are buzy, confidentiality.. bla.. come on.. if you really wanna help, these are not excuses!! hmph.. feels like we are begging u for the data or something..

Being stucked like this is not good.. I'm trying to think of other sources to find the data but where? I haven't discussed with my group members.. seems like no one knows what is the next step.. sometimes i just hate for being doing nothing..it feels so useless and wasting time..maybe I'm bored at home too.. and I'm dragging along alot of things.. hate that feeling.. anyway, what needs to be done has to be done.. we got to figure out someway somehow.. cheers...

中秋节

中秋节刚过,今年吃了不少月饼, 有自己做的,买的,别人送的.. 呵呵还真爽! 昨天去了佛堂, 听吴讲师讲课, 摄受了一些论语的精华。 也祈求上天让众生平安,离苦得乐!

八月十五也是恩师老人家的成道日,他老因为我们必须顶劫。忽然很想念老师,感谢恩师对徒儿的爱!

莫忘本

这是我第一次用华文写部落格,哈哈,感觉还蛮不习惯。

前些日子,阿叔来探望爸爸,顺便问爸爸意见,说要送他的宝贝独生女到家庭学校读书,原因是华小的功课压力很大,女儿不爱做功课,那学校是教会所办,学生只有18名。

爸妈没说什么,只是要他们再三考虑清楚。他们走后,爸爸说,他们太溺爱自己的女儿了,一点点压力也怕女儿辛苦,只怕那孩子以后娇身惯养,承受不了挫折。另一个原因是,那间家庭学校读的科目是根据美国的教学,孩子不用顾虑华文。

我听了,心里暗自讽刺他们。现在什么年代了,还那么崇洋!中国已经渐渐崛起,连老外都学华语,他们还不把女儿的华文教好,反而要女儿放弃华文?? 什么思想啊!

这让我想起一位中学时的好朋友。她叫瑞霖,成绩顶呱呱,华文程度更是一级棒。就连写部落格,她都用华文。别人多数用英文写的,她却用丰富的词汇把心情描写地洽到好处。她非常热爱华文,一直以来是我欣赏她的一大优点。

但是,世界上有人爱华文,也有人放弃华文。 10 岁时到新加坡游玩,经过一处是中国商人贩卖景德镇名瓷的摊子。我们在那儿欣赏瓷器时,突然一位妇人走来,好像是要买瓷器。虽然看上去不像什么有钱人,但是她却用英语和中国商人做买卖。拜托,那些中国人哪会英语啊?她就在那里说他们应该学英语。她还无耻地说:“I know Japanese, French, and chinese but I dun wan to 讲!”我的天啊!这妇人也该拿个镜子照照自己,她和我们一样,黄皮肤,黑头发的中国人,但是不讲华文,那嘴脸还很排斥华文的样子。

想到这里,我不禁悲叹,我们身为炎黄子孙,如果保持这样的态度,简直是忘本。中国人5000年仍然保留着丰富的文化,历史和思想,那时我们应该引以为荣的。我们更应该好好地保留这些文化,饮水思源,不能忘了自己的祖先啊!

Earthquake n Tsunami

An earthquake and tsunami strike again, this time at Samoa and Indonesia.. even areas in Peninsular Malaysia can feel the quake..

Sadly to say... youngsters nowadays do not feel the true disaster of an earthquake. I saw ppl posting on facebook saying.. earthquake? how come I didn feel it? then few others joined in n fuss about the matter... oh pls, can they have some common sense? its nothing to fuss about.. (well i should say that Malaysian kids nowadays are quite ignorant to general knowledge).. dont they realize that earthquakes or tsunamis or other natural disasters can kill alot of precious lives? ya, u may feel a little of a shaken ground n dizziness but that already means the other countries or the center of the quake is so disastrous that u can even feel it in a non-earthquake country!! cant they realise the seriousness of this?? (some even have the face to say ' I didn feel it, can it shake again?'!)

come on ppl, this is no joke ok? think that's funny? lets pray n hope that those who get through it recover faster n those who has become a victim in the disaster, may God bless their soul. Let God always be with you...

Losing My Temper

Sometimes, I tend to lose my temper.. even I tried to control it, the inner fury still burned in me.. I just hate this sometimes.. though knowing it is bad for your health, u still let it ruin ur calming thoughts.

Why we will lose our temper? becoz of other things, people or frustration that we are unsatisfied of, or something that they done (mistakes) that we do not like...anyway, a chinese proverb said that losing ur temper is punishing urself for others' mistakes.. so why should we lose our temper? it hurts, it brings conflict n undesired consequences... so we should control our temper all the time... EQ! :)

the keyboard is so insensitive, i cant type the words i want all the time... what's the matter?

The Freedom Writers



I've watched a movie entitled 'The Freedom Writers'.. a quite touching movie.. it was casted by Hilary Swank and she got the Oscars becoz of this movie. It is a real life story.. bout a teacher.. teaching class of students in high school...




Her name is Erin Gruwell... and that class was a bunch of students which other teachers have given up on them.. they are the African-Americans, the Cambodians, the Latinos, the Blacks..they came from different family backgrounds which were rather unpleasant ones.. they lived in the suburban areas of the streets in America.. which they have their own territories and any intruders will get involved in a fight, eventually injured or killed. Yes, they fought for their own group's survival in the land of the 'whites' (they called it) and basically made enemies with each other.




The story begins by introducing some of the students from the class.. they were always involved in a fight or their family members or frens are in jail... they were brought up in their community filled with hatred, envy, sadness and many many more negative feelings in their hearts.




so, when Erin first came to teach them english.. she got a shock of her life when her students argued, teased and fought against each other.. later, she figured out a way to turn her students into a new leaf. She tried to understand them and used a very different way of teaching.. she let them learn from the music lyrics which they loved, and also let them read real life stories like 'Anne Frank' which have similar backgrounds with them.. then, she asked them to write diaries for their own life.. their own thoughts and let them expressed their feelings in the diaries.. she even get sponsors or used her own money to arrange her students for school trips and books for them to read..




After all her continuing efforts.. the class gets united.. the students soon realised the real value of life and changed themselves.. for only two years, they managed to increase their grades from failing to graduating passing rates.. and most of them made it to the colleges or universities. When they have graduated, they started a foundation.. basically helping the students who have the same experience like them and their diaries are published called 'The Freedom Writers'..




I felt that the teacher is a very great teacher.. she was so enthusiastic in teaching that she would not give up on all of them.. she guide them, spend time with them until her husband divorced with her.. but she stays strong and fight for her students whenever the school did not approve their activities or her way of teaching..I respect her very much.. she's really a good teacher compared to some irresponsible teachers nowadays.








A New Start

Thought of blogging recently... coz having some intentions and inspirations to write and post something through blogspot.. though I have a blog on friendster but...well it's abandoned years ago.. haha..

So this is my new blogspot, and my very own space.. hi... visitors (if any) have a great day!! :)
