家有一老如有一宝

耐心 行

千里之行

始于足下

再遠的距離

也要靠一步

一步地

走進

路途不會配合埋怨

而縮短

反而垂頭喪氣

只會讓旅程更漫長

人本性難移

清楚定下自己成長的終點

亦要一步一步

耐心

鑒定

走向進步

哭

Photographer: Unknown

我很容易流泪

感动

委屈

朋友谈恋爱时

男友送礼物时

不被重视时

看悲伤戏时

朋友离开时

我忍不到

也不想忍

Gone are the Trees

- Nadine Laporte, WHRC

As far as I am concerned with increasing bald area on top of my head,
I feel equally sad when I see the balding patches at my hometown.

Where it was green and hill-y one year ago,
big pieces of land are now bright red and flat.

Even after I returned after a few months,
no progress was found.

Even if there are trees planted in developed areas,
they are often small, thin,
and planted far apart.

Do they need to terminate hectares of trees so early prior to their 'project'?
I have seen several areas where the bright red land is left to rot for years,
just in Rawang alone.
It doesn't seem that they really plan whether land clearing is neccessary
or execute construction according to plan.

Without trees,
we are exposed to the burning sun.
With less trees,
we breath in more carbon dioxide and dust.
With less trees,
our environment is getting hotter.

It is a sad case.
The phenomenon of unwise use of land at my home has not change much,
since I start moving here 10 years ago.
I don't think it will really improve,
until we are too late.

Each time I see a bald patch on our land,
it stings me.

无惧

害怕担心

别人觉得自己很懒惰、做事不专业

这可能是造成过去压力的头号原因

太介意别人对自己的眼光

别人对自己的想法

真的那么重要吗？

如果他人看误会了

那为什么还介意？

清者自清

如果自己真的不足

努力改进就好了

过去太害怕担心别人的看法

担忧转变成压力

不想工作、拖延、疲倦、头痛

面对现实

自己的本分要尽力

不能改变的（他人的想法、嘴巴等等）

要平常心面对，从中学习，放下

不惧怕，就是当下的快乐

Empty

Almost got knocked down by a car. Thanks to all the conditions that I am still alive now.

For a long while, I have been feeling empty. I have been putting this feeling aside for many times. But it is still there. Like I am living in a dream. I don't feel real. Don't feel solid.

...



Let it be. Empty feelings in the inner soul can't be filled by clinging to external objects, actions or even relationships. Look within. Look within. Sit still. Watch the beautiful world around. Count blessings. Be mindful. Be grateful. Be compassionate. Observe.
The Triple Gems will guide me through my way. I take refuge in the Buddha, my teacher (not idol). I take refuge in the Dharma, his teachings. I take refuge in the Sangha, the community of practitioners.
With palms folded. Thank you, world. I love the world, the people, my family, my friends and myself, no matter what you have given me, even if I feel empty.
I am not worried or saddened by this 'emptiness'. It is just an emotion. It is just a mode of information. One day it will reveal a piece of previously unknown information about myself.
Up til now, not much regrets in my life. Just do my best and leave the rest.

My Precious...

Family

They are the main reason why I enjoyed my graduation ceremony so much. Having three of them coming down to Singapore purposely for me just thrilled me.

My mom kept taking pictures of me, when I was posing, taking pictures with my friends, chatting with my friends, walking, arranging hair and robes, putting items on chair, etc. I guess in her eyes, I am forever her baby.

My sister was enjoying herself eventhough I didn't have much time for her. She snapped photos of different objects while we were busy. She is constantly curious about Singapore. Having her around makes me feel like I am a traveller spending my vacation right here.

My pak pak was smiling all the way. He patiently waited when there is nothing for him to do, kept taking videos of us. After the video camera battery went flat, he used his handphone to take pictures.

I had such a great time with them that I cried when they left! I thought I was independent leh..

Of course, I am very very grateful to my cousin sister Sook Yee and cousin brother Cheng Ho who gave me this superb bouquet of flowers and graduation bear, my housemates for buying me a cow who is holding a rose, Mei Fei and Hui Yee who brought this cute pink sunflower to me all the way. Thank you ^_^

Last but not least.. thank you my dear who helped me keep my family company when I was busy, helped me carry heavy/bulky items all the way, take pictures...
