After 10++ years

Never thought I will meet someone I haven't met for the past 10 years.
10 years,wow...How long is it.10 years ago,I just started my secondary school life.10 years ago,I was still a young,*ahem* innocent boy living in Tanah Merah.10 years ago...10 long years ago...

I am happy to meet the person again.We used to be fierce rival when we were young.We were friend,of course but we fought hard to get the number one spot.I could still remember the year where I lost a few marks to the person and been kicked to the 2nd class.It was long long time ago but funny it stuck on my mind since then.It was good to have a rival,it motivate me to work harder so that I can beat the person the next time.

We met at a camp in KL.A place that I less expected...At first I thought I had mistaken the person for someone else,but then I suddenly remember the familiar face and that really gave me a shock.I had been a Tzu Ching for 4 years now and I had attend a lot of activities and this is the 1st time I ever meet a fellow friend from Tanah Merah.

It just felt great...Nice to meet you again,friend^^

Earth Hour 2011

It was Earth Hour again yesterday and as usual my annual Earth Hour post ^^

And I will stress again that rather than switching your electrical supply for one hour per year,you will help the Earth more by saving up electricity EVERY DAY!!!

Then at 8.30 sharp,I heard fireworks outside.Wow,so “environmental friendly” to celebrate this day with more emission of CO2!!!

The main purpose of Earth Hour is to create awareness but do we really need all those celebration?Do we really need to light up candles in paper cups as a symbol that we SWITCH OFF the lights?Do we really need to drive all the way to malls to join the celebration with others?Do we really need those???DO WE???

So how I spent my Earth hour?Well,I took a stroll under my apartment.It was bright (many people didn’t participate) but I managed to find a darker spot.I sat there and look upon the stars (which is also been outshone by the lights) and relax.The wind was blowing gently,the surrounding was so quiet and it was so peaceful.And for one moment I feel myself in-sync with Mother Nature (until the fireworks AGAIN broke my peaceful moment!!!).The world is a beautiful place and I want my next generation to be to enjoy it as well.I will want to show them how magnificent and grand our planet it,not through images in books and Internet,but through interacting with the nature directly.

Don’t all of us wish that too???What we want to leave for our next generation?A paradise-like world or a dying planet???

So guys,PLEASE TREAT EVERY HOUR AS EARTH HOUR!!!GO GREEN!!!RECYCLE!!!

DONT JUST SPEAK,TAKE ACTION NOW!!!

 

Don’t tell me a bad news and expect me to tell others because…

 

I sucks super sucks ultimate sucks at delivering bad news!!!I can’t do it well face to face,through phone call,through sms,through e-mail,through any way.I JUST CAN’T DO IT!!!

Even though the news might not involved me in any way (for an example,a famous singer or actor passed away),I still fail to convey the message properly.If the message had something to do with me,it will be even harder.If the message is distantly related to me (I had to cancel a gathering or meeting),I still can’t tell it out.Thus,I will always give this big responsibility to the others.You can ask me do a jobs ten times harder and will consume 10 times the energy needed,I still won;t deliver the bad news.

Bad news is almost always depressing and depressing my *ahem * “fragile” heart will affects my mood the whole day which I don’t like.Besides that,it is hard to choose a way to convey a bad news.Should I act naturally or fake a sad face(although the news had nothing to do with me,for an example someone pet dog just passed away…)What kind of body language should I display?What tone should I use?What excuse should I give ?(especially if I had to cancel a gathering or activity because of I misinterpret a message)

Maybe this is one of the reason why I don’t want to be a doctor.Imagine how awkward will I be when I am going to tell a patient:”You had cancer and have only 3 more months to live!” I will definitely screw the whole thing and may had shorten the patient life (Who knows,maybe I use the wrong tone and suddenly his blood pressure rockets and get a stroke and died instantly,It is possible…)This is why I choose to be a Chinese Medicine Practitioner.Lower risk of killing my patients through my cold and innocent tone in delivering bad news!!!

So to someone,sorry I had misinterpret a message and the place for the visit tomorrow had be taken by other people.It is all my fault and please please forgive me!!!I will try to tell you as soon as possible but please don’t meet me by accident in Uni ya,I will prefer to call you and decrease the awkwardness as low as I could

Flu…Finally???

I finally get a flu again…Yes,finally bcoz it had been a while,I think my last flu was like a year ago???

Anyway,flu sucks as usual…My nose is completely blocked my Mr.Mucous and they are starting to migrate to my throat.I didn’t had a good sleep last night although I slept from 10pm to 8am.I woke up a dozen times just to ease the mucous blockage and try to make myself feel better.

Then I realized I forget to bring my flu medication from TM and I was like WTH…Great,without any proper medication I wonder how long will this mucous blocking syndrome will last.The only thing that can ease my suffering is the 1000mg Vit C pill that dissolved in water and taste more and more horrible…

So guys which me luck…I really need to be well soon.a big camp this Saturday…

Soldier Lament-Sonya Kitchell

 

My favorite song of the week.Heard this song about a month ago in the series finale of “The Unit”.Download it straight away but never had the chance to really hear the song until a couple of day ago.

The melody attracts me the most.Recently I am pretty addicted to the humming+simple guitar+haunting type of melody.The melody kept on playing in my minds,taunting me to play the same song over and over again.The lyrics is quite good too although I don’t really understand the whole song.Maybe I just love the arrangement of the words…

My favorite part is the ending lyrics:

Tell me somethin'
What are yah livin' for?
Tell me boy
What are you livin' for?
Tell me somethin'
What are yah livin' for?
Tell me, tell me
What are you livin' for?

BTW,the singer Sonya Kitchell is at my age and wow she could write and sing something so good!!!

The lyrics for Soldier Lament:

He fight and he pray
He love and he bleed
To know satisfaction was not his need
And when he walks, stands tall as he can
For he's a man, yeah he's a man
And when he crumbles, resolve to the ground
Like burnt bits of paper, life flutters round
All eyes turn away, no one wants to see
A man who has lost, in the fight to be free
For we've been out runnin' for all of our lives
No chance, and stop, and we'd surely lose sight
In the back of his mind is a smiling face
The one who said, "yah know, it's no race"
The one that said, "you got time to breathe"
Cuz' child you're born, we're all born free
In the back of he mind is the back of a room
So dust enshrouded, and no dust broom
Stands a chance to clear the cobwebs away
So live in the back, in the dark it'll stay
And we've been out runnin' for all of our lives
No chance, and stop, and we'd surely lose sight
Tell me somethin'
What are yah livin' for?
Tell me boy
What are you livin' for?
Tell me somethin'
What are yah livin' for?
Tell me, tell me
What are you livin' for?

The live performance by Sonya Kitchell:

Friends lol

Had a nice gathering with my UTARian friends last week (Ya,one week ago but only managed to update now).We had dinner together and chat.

It had been a while since I had such a nice chatting session.IMU is good but maybe still too new.The people here are nice and friendly,but just haven’t really find someone who I can spilt everything on him/her yet.

During the gathering,we chat about football,politics,school,their working life,my study life and other people personal life.I think it is healthy to be a busybody sometimes^^Feel very comfortable and happy because we are still close to each other.It is not easy,we walk into a different path and yet can still be such close friend.

Everyone had changed at least a little,maybe they had all grown mature in their working life.I feel weird yet happy to see them grow up to be better person.I think I am the one with the least change^^

Anyway really hope that we can maintain our close friendship and good luck in everything that you all are doing!!!

Nice life

Life had been good to me lately.

Bukit Jalil is a nice place,simple and quiet.Although I I do miss good old Setapak sometimes (especially the yam char session),Bukit Jalil had its own beauty.The road are less busier which means the air is much cleaner.In Setapak,I will be woken up every morning by the honking car.Here I can either woke up naturally or by alarm.Every morning I wake up happily and willing.Sleep well and live better life…

The course is also very interesting.Everyday I discover new facts about Chinese Medicine.and I think I finally found the course that suits me the most.Biomedical Science is good,but it is just not my cup of tea I guess.People here are mostly friendly and I love when everyone always had a smile on their face.A smile could really brighten the day^^

Life can be boring sometimes,but overall it is good.No more download frenzy here,so I can focus on my studies and join more Tzu Ching activity.The life as a Tzu Ching is as awesome as usual.I hope that my experience as Tzu Ching in UKTAR can help IMU Tzu Ching a bit,but we can always learn from each other.Trying to popularize the blog and they are teaching me how to interact more with others.

Nice place,nice environment,nice friends…Nice life…
