Emptiness...

Most of the people had this feeling before...

"Why they are better than us? Why they are more clever than us?"

"why my house isn't that big? Why they are so rich? "

" why they are healthy? Why they do not need to suffer? "

And the question i always have is..

" Why I am here? "

Found my answer after few years.

Answer?

"To repay gratitude, to have revenge, to claim debts and to pay debts."

"I am tired of this.. I feel like I have done this again and again. My heart is tired. What should I do."

"Easy, Just let it go. Do not seek for revenge. Do not claim anymore debts. You will find peace after that."

" I would like to do it. But something keeps impeding me from doing so. It is hard. Haiz.. "

" Everyone is like that. Just don't give up and one day you will understand the joy of freedom."

May I get the joy of freedom..

Winter break is coming... One more month to go..

Life is getting busier and busier with the end of semester coming. Tonnes of reading, tutorial and assignment are waiting for me. Deep inside my heart I pray, pray for the strength that allows me to finish everything smoothly.

End of semester exam is just around the corner. Most of the lecturers keep on reminding us to have our study plan readied before it is too late. Ignoring their advice, I have my own sweet time doing some things that make my life happier. Example? Watching video of master chin kong!! haha.. Enjoyable!!!

Time and tide waits for no man. I should feel glad as this indicates that I can go back to malaysia soon! haha. I miss the people and the food there. Waiting for the moment to come. Things change fast. My brother has graduated from MMU, my cousins are going to graduate in three months time. My another cousin has enrolled in KTAR. phew.. All sorts of things have happened and I hope most of them will be a good one.

Winter is coming.. What kind of weather is it? I don't know... Hope I won't freeze to death here. I guess Malaysia is experiencing hot weather now. I wonder if I can bear the heat when i go back.

Still having simple and normal life. haha. Anyway, I like it. Simple person for a simple life!!!

And a special ending of course!! hahaha. ^^

cheers~~

凡所有相,皆是虚妄。

无常乃真真之道,在这个世界生活了二十年的我有了一点点的感受。一年前,我感受到了他的力量。速度可是刹那间。你要有心理准备都不能。一年后,我一时忘了他的存在。但现在我又感受到了.. 一个东西要永恒的话,只有一个办法,就是放下。

一切皆由真实心中作。作而不作,不作而作才是我们应该作的。

Something is wrong with my study method.

The test is coming. But I feel nothing at all. I am numb i guess. Since secondary school I dislike exam as I don't like to feeling of being pressure up. This cause me to feel nervous after the exam is over instead of before the exam. Exam, which can't be separated from our life, makes most of us unhappy.

I can study but I don't want to study just because I needed to. You might say that everyone is forced to study and this is indeed true for this moment. There will only be one person that can help me... me myself..

Fear of public speaking -- Glossophobia.

Tada!! The time for heart pumping and hand sweating came again!! Forcing myself to talk in the public, I had a chance to deal with my nervousness this morning. Although I have much time to calm myself down as I was the last one to present, everything was out of control when I opened my mouth. My hands were full of cold sweat and my heart was pumping incredibly fast. ( I don't think I will face the same thing even if I am confessing to someone.)

"Good morning everyone, I would like to talk about the sea...arch strategy that I have used in researching my essay topic." The first sentence was not well told and mixed with pauses. Ignoring the mistakes that I had made, I picked up my courage and continued with whatever words inside my mind.

"The topic for my essay is should adderall, an amphetamine be prescribed to teenagers?" That was my second sentence and the rest of the words I said would be too hard for me to remember. This might be due to the nervousness I encountered during the presentation. The presentation I was doing was to give an idea to our lecturer of our progess in doing our essay. Marks would not be given to the brief presentation that we gave but it gave us a chance to get some feedback from our tutor about our skill in presenting our ideas.

According to my tutor, Dr. Elliot, Feeling nervous is very common while presenting. She told us that she will be attending a conference this weekend and nervousness still can be found within her. It is quite suprising as she is a PhD holder who has gone through all sorts of presentation. Furthermore, she is a lecturer which means that her life is full of public speaking. Anyway, she explained that giving a presentation in a conference is totally different from the normal public speaking and nevertheless, she needs to present the work of other people this time.

"Feeling nervous is a good thing! It increases your alertness and makes you aware of whats going on. So don't worry if you feel nervous. That's normal!!"

I believe in what she said as she possesses the knowledge and the experience in public speaking. You will certainly agree with me that she is a good presenter if you attend one of her lectures. The fluency of her speech and the vocabulary she used in her lecture will impress you much.

I hope that one day I will be able to give a presentation just like the way she does. Communication skills and public speaking are vital to a pharmacist. Without these skills, misunderstandings may occur and some of them may cost a person's life. I can't take this risk!!

My ultimate goal is to present like Al-Gore , who is the former vice president of U.S. This might be impossible for me but there is nothing wrong to set a high goal for myself right??:P:P Cheers!!

Hiking!!

Welcomed to the morialta conservation park by the morning breeze, I was called back to the time when I enjoyed the view and the cold air of cameron highland. Most of the malaysian like to find some places that are cold to stay away from the unbearable heat from the sun. Out of so many ways, I prefer going to hills and highlands like cameron just to have my own sweet time breathing the cool air or to enjoy steamboat up there!! Nevertheless, It will only be fun if I go there with my family or my friends.

After confining myself in the city for a few weeks, it is time for me to break out from this 'prison'. Walking under the trees was good enough for me to release all the tension built up by the immense number of readings that I need to have. I love nature. Do you? Everything from the nature is so beautiful. If you are careful enought you will notice it.

Four hours of hiking were passed with laughter. Nature can cure one's heart with the voice of the birds, sound from the water and the colours of the trees and ferns. This trip doesn't disappoint us who seek for peace in our hearts.

MySA, thanks for everything..

We are living in a weird world..

Did you nitice that?? We are indeed living in a weird world...

People study for whole life, but when it comes to the end, they just notice that what they learned are not useful enough...

Unlike the ancient china, people were taught the real knowledge since they were jsut three years old or perhaps earlier, before they were born...

What is the real knowledge? Easy! The way of life..

Do we know that? Do we learn that?

You might think we did learn that. But in fact we didn't..

A simple question, how do we live our life? What is life for?

Millions of people doesn't have the answer. How about you? Do you have?

Don't wait... Search for the answer now before it is too late!!

一个航海员..

有一个小航海员,拥有着一个小小的船…
在茫茫的海洋上,没方向的四处飘泊…
无助和无奈的寻找方向…

有一天,另一个航海员找到了不起眼的他…
并将自己的地图和指南针给了他…

“你呢?”小航海员问。
“我已经记在脑海里了。别担心。”
“这儿是哪儿呀?”
“一个快乐的乐园!你在那儿会活得很快乐。”
“谢谢你,我还能够见到你吗?”
“如果你到达那儿,就能找到我了!希望会在哪儿见到你!”

就这样,小航海员有了目标…
他努力的往目标前进。努力的划呀划…
无情的风雨不停的障碍他,有一天,他灰心了。

“怎么划也划不到!根本是不可能的嘛…”

“只要不怀疑,努力的划,退了再划,再退了再划!总有一天你一定会到达那儿的。到时所有的努力就会有成果了。”这句话闪进了他的脑袋…

“好吧!但是真希望有另一个小航海员和我一起努力…一个人真的很容易灰心。”想着想着,他看到了一个在无人岛上的一个女孩。

“你在这儿不闷吗?要不要和我一起去乐园?”航海员问道。
“外面的世界真的那么好吗?我从来没想过到底外面是如何的。”
“试一试嘛,不试一试怎么知道呢?”
“好吧,我就试一试吧!不过我还不是很相信外面有多好。”
“谢谢你。”航海员露出了微笑。
“不必客气,你要慢慢教我如何航海哦!”
“一定!”

未来的日子会如何,小航海员也不知道,他只能默默地希望,他们俩有一天会到达那快乐的乐园。虽然小女孩还不那么了解航海员的毅力和愿心,他已经很满足。因为至少有另一个“小”的人,和他有着同样的方向,即使她并不是真真的想去那个美好的乐园…

4th of May.. Days are getting more and more hectic!

Hello guys!! My apologies for those who had been waiting for my post ( I wonder if there is any). These days I found out that I no longer have the urge to update my blog unless there is something interesting that I would like to share with you guys! Nothing much can be told as my life had gone back to its original state after the holidays ended. Classes, assignment, homework, cooking and sleeping were all the things I could do everyday! Boring huh.. What to do? Life is always like that and what we can do is to enjoy it!!

Yesterday a KFC gathering was organised in PP, SM, MY and Amreet apartment! It was the first time the chicken from KFC in Adelaide went into our stomach!! Almost all of our friends who came from malaysia answered the gathering except those who were afraid that the oily chicken will increase their weight!! ( I am thin, so.. no problem at all!!! wakakaka) With the aid of the coupons from the hosts, we were able to have a cheap and nice dinner althought it was not really healthy. There were 18 of us enjoying the delicious food ( I would say that KFC in Malaysia is better. ) and had fun chatting and playing during the gathering. Mind you, the noise that we made were even louder than the ear-breaking music in a pub!! Hope that the hosts would not receive any complaint letter about the funny and weird noises. :P:P I wasn't worried as Saturday night is the happy hour for australians. Therefore, making noises on Saturday night shouldn't be any problem! :P:P

Lots of things happened in the event yesterday but the most exciting moment for me will be the moment when Shoky confessed to YY with everyone staring at them! However, till now I am not so sure whether Shoky was just trying to amuse us or the words really came from his heart. Anyway, he indeed gave us a lot of laughter! hahaha! That was fun! The answer given by YY was obivously "deng!" which is the word that she always come up with. It has no meaning in some sense but sometimes it means everything. haha. Of course YY answered "no". If not, I am afraid someone will fly here and have my bedmate killed. touchwood.. haha.

Improving ourselves is the only way to avoid disaster from striking us. Knowing that we are living in a world that has all sorts of obstacles, changing ourselves will be a faster and better way to solve problem than expecting others to change as the real problem lies within ourselves but not others. May I can improve from one year to another and hope that my perseverance doesn't leave me before I attain the freedom which all of us will acquire one day.

Cheers and have a nice day!!
