Well, well. Hardly found time to blog, especially since I will like be having classes throughout week after week. I will even have night class tomorrow, and soon for more.

Life have been relatively dull with everything being repetitive, it will be long stretch for sure, marking m words, that is. Holiday's over about a week and the engine is...lacking of willpower, firepower, whatever you say. I'm still having that holiday syndrome. Where is the motivation? It's gathering? How? When our lectures keep saying our lectures only left about 6 weeks. I'm running out of time, you see. Uncomfortable time is here.

The trip to Da Vinci gallery is off. Felt wasted because I do wanted to go. Art is such a beauty, and should always be shown to people. I hope they will come again, for I'm sure I will go, without any troubles, as I reckon by then I will ensure myself to be free of assignments and worries.

Recent issue really make a big headline lately. With the use of Islam's...I'd better not to say it. Wary of the trouble. But, strictly speaking, some action by unhappy party burning down the churches. It seems irrational and without brilliance. Putting any stories aside. I don't know if their religion forbids people like us to use the Name. But, from a logical point of view, if any person using the Name with malicious intention or anything subjected to bad implication, then it's wrong, totally. I think that they shouldn't take the matter too seriously, not only this dispute encourage churlishness. I think they should wait till it's proven to be a negative result before taking any action, by then, if they take such action, the person will be penalise for what he/she did, for sure.

Certainly, I believe not all people were such behaviour. And, in fact, I heard news some Malay groups had volunteered to help the churches. That's the spirit we want to know and hear of. As for the people, whether they deem their clause is for good or otherwise, Lady Justice shall be the one to decide, for the deed of arson is a crime, reflected to all kind of races.

I think the government or whosoever shouldn't tarry any longer. It's hurting other races. It's not gonna be nice. Our PM invoke the 1Malaysia concept. How far will it goes? Tolerance is important in this country, without it, we will treat each other as alien.

There goes time. Let's hope the dispute will end quickly. Till then.

Since I don't really like to forward email, I might as well post it here. Enjoy the great value and also, the pictures.


Changing of Seasons..季節的改變

The following pictures are of the same place
but taken in different seasons...
下面的照片是同一個地點在不同季節所拍攝的照片。。。。。











Lessons on Life 生命的功課

There was a man who had four sons.
He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.
So he sent them each on a quest, in turn,
to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
有一個人，他有四個兒子。
他希望他的兒子能夠學會不要太快對事情下結論，
所以，他依次給他四個孩子一個問題，
要他們分別出去遠方看一顆桃子樹。

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring,
the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
大兒子在冬天前往，二兒子在春天，
三兒子在夏天，小兒子則是在 秋 天前往。

When they had all gone and come back,
he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
當他們都前去也都返家之後，
他把他們一起叫到跟前形容他們所看到的情景，
大兒子說那棵數很醜、枯槁、扭曲。

The second son said no it was covered with green buds
and full of promise.
二兒子則說，不是這樣子，
這棵樹被青青的嫩芽所覆蓋，充滿了盼望。

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms
that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful,
it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
三兒子不同意，他說樹上花朵綻放、充滿香氣，
看起來十分美麗，這美景事他從來不曾見到過的。

The last son disagreed with all of them;
he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit,
full of life and fulfillment.
小兒子不同意他們三人的說法。
他說樹上結滿了果子、累累下垂。
充滿了生命果子與豐收。

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right,
because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
這個人就對他四個兒子說：你們都是正確的。
因為你們四個人是在這棵樹的四個不同季節前往，
並且只看到其中一個季節的風景。

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person,
by only one season, and that the essence of who
they are and the pleasure, joy , and love that come from
that life can only be measured at the end,
when all the seasons are up.
他告訴兒子們不可用一個季節的風景來評斷一棵樹或是一個人，
關於構成一個人是怎樣的一個人的要件，還有一個人生命的
歡愉、喜樂、愛，只能在他生命的盡頭時候來做衡量。

If you give up when it's winter,
you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
當你在冬天時候就放棄，
你就會錯過你生命春天的盼望、夏天的美麗、 秋 天的收成。

Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest..
不要讓一個季節的痛苦毀掉其他季節的喜樂。

Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times
are sure to come some time or later.
不要因為一個痛苦的季節就對人生下結論，
持守忍耐度過這段艱難，美好的日子將在不久之後來到。

How's first day of going back to college if you ask me?

Waking up early in the morning for the first time since 2 weeks of late night sleep and waking up late, it's something I don't really fancy of. But, waking up early does makes you feel fresh though.

Well, got to college pretty early, seeing familiar faces again, and again. Some never change, some were not. Well, I mean they have new hairstyle or spot new clothes. The lecturers also still looking same. Nothing changed actually.

Our lecturers had talked about our New Year Resolution. Well, I do admit that, some new year resolution is not that new. Some were brought forward (well, cutting down online time is one). But wow, 2010, I had a great start. Opening year had been busy one, especially assignments are reaching deadline. And, now, I just kinda like started, burning midnight oil is awaiting for me.

I managed to complete two new lyrics, something I consider to be a new approach. Fragrance and Too late both are good, and both are pretty new approach. But, I still think it's lacking of something. Oh well, I should really put a stop on writing lyrics now. But too late derived from my friend's experience. So I want to remind you guys out there, If you want to change for good, whether for your gf/bf/parents/wife/husband, better do it now, those who knew my friend, will understand why. Don't change later, because it's too late.

Oh yes, before I start my road to dreamland. I would like to THANK, LILY, JAMIE and MICH for getting me a book. John C. Maxwell's 360 degree Leader. I really like people getting me books for present. It's useful that's for sure. Anyway, thanks guys! I really love it! I wish to post the picture of that book, better never mind right?

Prom night is coming soon. But I ain't going. So why I bring this up? Simply because to wish my friends all the best for the dancing performance. Keep trying till you get the move around you.

Oh people try to read The Eragon saga (Inheritance Cycle). IF you're a fan of magic, dragons and fantasy, oh you ought to get this. Well, I don't see this as a childish book, so when you have chance, try it, it really worth reading.

Was told the Intermediate Examination will take place at Putrajaya. Oh my, so far away. Hope the time for the exam won't be very early. And, on May, people! It coming soon!
I better be ready for it.

Done writting, see ya around.

Holiday is ending. Going back to college tomorrow.

My holiday can be considered to be awesome one. But, I just hope to have another week off. That would be just perfect. After the opening, it had already been promised we will have a lots of class; extra class and special class. Both gonna consume my Saturday and Sunday. Intermediate Examnination is just months away. I guess no more playing around.

As much as I hope, CNY is about a month plus away from now. I CAN'T wait for it! Tell me who won't? But, seriously, after CNY, I don't think I can find time for any entertainment. Erm, my first assignment is to finish my VLE/Online Research work withing, ermm..11 days. 2000 words minimum, ought to get things to start otherwise. Oh, how I wish there is more than 24 hours. Give extra 6 hours!

Alright, finish yammering around. it's a new start for tomorrow. New Goals, new challenges and new adventures! It's time to renew your passion and don't let the laziness to cloth your skin. Start to kick around!

As for my good friend Chan. At times we couldn't get what we want, in fact there are so many obstacles trying to get into your way, but don't give up your home. There's light in every end of the tunnel. Don't let your passion to die out. Don't let those unworthy things to stall your way. Stay your ride alive!

I want to do something before heading to bed. So, update later.
