messy

EVerything is messy like the lines and colors in this photo. Im feeling stress and tired as well. when i close my eyes, my mind is till running here and there. nice sleep? never! Physically tired. that's ok. Physicals can heal. But when the mind is tired, it's hard to continue working.

My room is messy. i hardly have time to really clean it.

My mind is messy. too many things to think and too many things to do at the same time.

my assignments are messy. 2 more presentations and 1 written report.

hmmm.. messy messy. is your life messy?

well, everything can be messy but not your life.

Giving Dana

Many people prefer to give money to help others. But for me, money is not everything although it’s important. I prefer to buy food for the needy ones or lend them a hand. I think that’s more meaningful. And when I do that, I feel a maximum satisfaction out of it. You just feel awesome and contented when you get a smile from them, even if they don’t say thank you.

Well, just now early in the morning I went to Kampar Old Town’s foodcourt to give Dana to two Theravada monks from a nearby temple at Temoh. Dana is actually a Pali word. It’s an act of giving to others. It does not mean that you give only material things that cost money. For you can give many immaterial things as well. (http://www.mahindarama.com/e-library/dana-vis.htm#1). Dana is an act of loving-kindness and non-selfishness. You’ll earn a lot of merits from it. And it’ll improve your karma. But when you give dana, never expect to get something in return. Doing charity or volunteerism must always come from a sincere and honest heart. Dana is not meant only for monks but for non-monks as well.

This was actually my second time doing dana. I did my first dana last year, alone. The monk will only come every Friday morning and left by 8.30am. I’ve always forgotten about this event. Not that I am lazy you know.. I really lupa. Furthermore, I’m lazy to wake up early when I don’t have class on Friday.  Thx to Poicia, she’s the one who reminded me and ajak me to do dana this morning.

So I went there around 8am. I was late, just a little bit late. Yea just a little bit late. But Poicia gave her dana already. I was like huh so fast?? It’s not like very urgent, why they wait for me. Hmmm.. but then I realized well, I was late. Whether late for a minute or an hour, it’s still late. Late means late. When you are late, you’ll miss a lot of things. I regret. I regret for being late. I regret for not being discipline waking up on time. I regret for procrastinating. Don’t ever be late la.. no use to regret because it’s already over and it has happened. Big loss..

Anyway, a lot of people especially the locals buying food for the monks. True Theravada monks never beg for money or sell amulets. They only accept food. I was in dilemma because I don’t what to buy to them. I remember Kwan Yee said that it’s better to buy dried food so that it can last long. She also told me to buy food that has no colouring. So at the end, I bought them a papaya and wheat bread. Both also good for health ma. =p

People, giving is always better than receiving.

Do more dana la…

It's another good awesome day! =p

QUOTE of the day

Winning or losing is just about your mindset. You can be announced as a loser but you can walk away as a winner.

problem talking with a 'holy' man

It is a BIG problem when you talked to a so-called 'holy' person or a person who's so 'religious'. These people will never accept and cannot accept opinions from others. For them their religion is the best. Aih.. And i always sakit hati gunung berapi mau meletup talking to them. Not that i don't accept their religion but i just can't accept their mindset.

I found an old friend from primary school and he's a teacher now. I was so shocked that he has changed to that kind of person. Well, i don't feel comfortable talking to him as i feel he's very intimidating and scary. I don't like i when people try to convert me.

You see, all teh religions are right and pure, it's the people who are dirty, corrupted and go nuts.

Below are the converstations between us in Facebook. Ianya dalam bahasa Melayu. Kalau tak faham, gunalah Google Translate. Semoga ia dapat membantu mentranslatekan apa yang perlu ditranslate denagan translation yang betul.

Friend: Pengalaman menjalankan program perkampungan orang asli: waktu solat berjemaah di bilik...mereka memerhatikan di luar tingkap...moga mendapat petunjuk dan hidayah dari belenggu animisme.


Me:  belenggu aninisme? erm.. saya rasa kita tidak patut mengongkong atau cuba menyekat pemikiran dan cara hidup serta kepercayaan kaum lain. setiap kaum mempunyai kepercayaan mereka dan kita harus menghormatinya. Orang Asli tidak pernah dibelenggu aninisme tetapi hidup secara harmoni dan menghormati alam. adakah kita yang kononnya lebih memahami agama ini lebih taqwa taat dan memenuhi ajaran agama masing-masing? tepuk dada usah tanya selera. tanyalah iman tanyalah diri.


Friend: kawanku, dalam konteks ini saya tidak dapat membenarkan 100% apa yang diluahkan...bagi kami umat Islam, jalan ke pintu syurga menurut kaca mata Islam hanya satu iaitu melalui Islam itu sendiri malah dengan tegasnya saya berani katakan Islam... adalah cara hidup yang mesti dipunyai oleh semua makhluk..sebab itu saya mahu membebaskan pemikiran animisme kerana fitrahnya manusia hidup bertuhan dan kerana Dialah yang menciptakan segala-galanya...Hidup beragama juga mengajar kita akan kepatuhan dan tunduk kepada yang Maha satu bukannya pada Matahari, pokok, awan, lautan dan angin yang merupakan sebahagian unsur nikmat yang dikurniakan Allah kepada hambaNya...Soal menyatakan ketaqwaan dan keimanan bukan urusan kita..Jika manusia diberi kebebasan untuk menghukum ketaqwaan dan keimanan seseorang maka rosaklah dunia...saya tidak mahu menyekat pemikiran atau kepercayaan masyarakat lain, walaubagaimanapun ia merupakan tanggungjawab kami sebagai Islam yang akan dipersoalkan akan peranan kami di dunia dalam menyampaikan kebenaran...Tidak berguna kita beriman dan bertaqwa sekiranya yg sedikit itu tidak kita sampaikan maka diazab jualah kita...kami hanya sekadar menyampai risalah para nabi-nabi terdahulu..terpulang kepada masyarakat untuk menerimanya. Islam juga tidak pernah mendesak seseorang itu menerima Islam...carilah buku tentang bagaimana dan kenapa umat Islam perlu berdakwah dan kisah nabi terdahulu...Semua persoalan akan terjawab. Saya terbuka dalam hal ini.Harap perkara ini akan menjernihkan segala yg keruh.

Me: secara ringkasnya setiap individu mempunyai agama dan kepercayaan masing-masing. setiap agama mempunyai ajarannya masing-masing. dari cara percakapan sahabat, adakah saudara bermaksud agama Buddha, Kristian dan Hindu itu agama yang salah? Saudara bagaikan ingin merekrut bukan Islam untuk masuk Islam. Bagi saya ini adalah tidak patut jika seseorang itu telah beragama. Jangan secara sewenang-wenangnya melemparkan tuduhan melulu, tidak bernas secara membuta tuli bahawa seseorang itu dibelenggu aninisme. Atas dasar dan landasan apa didakwa mereka ini dibelenggu? Ini adalah satu penghinaan buat mereka. Walaupun saya bersetuju Islam agama yang baik dan suci tetapi adalah salah jika kita tetap dengan pendirian bahawa agama kita adalah yang terbaik dan agama yang lain tidak. Agama mengajar kita untuk berbaik-baik dan menghormati antara satu sama yang lain. Peranan sebagai umat kepada agama tertentu dengan bertindak terlalu ekstremis dan konservatif hanya akan mendatangkan musibah daripada keamanan. Lihat saja apa yang berlaku di negara asing di mana pertumpahan agama berlaku apabila penganut dua agama bertarung untuk menunjukkan kekuatan dan kebenaran agama masing-masing. Kalau suatu hari nanti, seseorang terbuka hatinya untuk menerima agama tertentu, ini bermakna dia telah menerima hidayahnya. Tidak perlu mereka dipaksa dan tidak perlu ditukar agama mereka dengan cara 'brainwash' atau gertakan. Saya menghormati agama Islam, saya ingin memahaminya dengan lebih mendalam lagi dan saya juga berharap saudara boleh berbuat perkara yang sama terhadap kami yang bukan Islam. Setiap orang ada kebebasan beragamanya. Saya tidak perlu masuk Islam untuk ke syurga kerana saya serta sahabat-sahabat bukan Islam yang lain juga mempunyai syurga kami sendiri. Treat others as you would like to be treated. ini hanyalah pandangan peribadi saya.

sunday super talkative

Argghhh! Why random thoughts keep pouring in non-stop! Ayoyuoyo! It makes me talk non-stop nia. I’m fed up with my own FB cuz I always see my name. ish. Im so super talkative today. anyway i love Kampar. why so? the rain is beautiful, even the hot sunny burning day also has its own beauty.

For those who are arguing about the alleged Anwar Ibrahim’s sex video, stop it lah. I’m so fed up already. Everyone is so irritated and irked. I seriously feel like vomiting now. Why the whole country and the politicians keep repeating the same issue. Trust me or not, it’s a sex issue and it’s to bring a politician down. Aduih, don’t make a joke here and give unnecessary promotion and publicity for our country. Other people from other country don’t even have energy cuz no money no electricity, everyone is suffering from poverty and disaster but you politicians waste time and money talking bullshit talking cock. You no cock want to talk cock is it??

anyway, Never ever do evil. If not, your guilt will haunt you forever. Win with right and fair way. Don't cheat. Sekali tersilap langkah, musnah segala-galanya.  

more than words

I'm touched and honoured when someone special said something so motivating, appreciating and true and yet insinuating.

She said:

You are a person with confidence. If not, how can you be SRC president? You are afraid of nothing. Anything also you’ll do. You explore everything. You bokiasi.

Well, i guess it's kind of true the part where she said im confident.

Thanks Tze Huey. xoxox

what a small supermoon

people said that tonight's moon will be very beautiful. The news said so too. The Star said the moon will be bigger and brighter. read the news below.

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/3/19/nation/8302314&sec=nation

alright, so,  many people from all around the world stay awake whole night to catch a glimpse on the moon which only appears every 20 years.

Despite the non-stop heavy rain in Kampar, UTAR-ians still kopek their eyes besar-besar to see the moon as if they never see a moon before, including me.

the clouds are so thick, covering the moon. the moon pulak shy shy hiding behind the moon. My friend from KL sms me to look at the supermoom.

finally at 3.30am i saw the moon. i went to the road with my zoom lense. the first thing i saw was not the moon but a cat with her kittten. two of them lying on the road, playing with each other and relaxing. i guess they were waiting for the moon to pop out as well. Then, suddenly, middle of the night, the kitten is hungry n sucks the mother's tits for susu. oppps. i use wrong words to describe the situation ah?? nvm. ya anak kucing minum susu ibu.

watching the kitten 'drinking' milk is so loving. i mean, it's such a loving scene la. after a while the moon finally appeared.

WHAT THE HECK!!

the moon is so damn small la. ayoooooooo. why so funny one. KL's moon so big and bright but Kampar's moon so blehhhh. what a small super moon. no difference with the normal moon also.

you people who's still hoping to see the so-called super moon, go sleep la k. the moon won't suddenly grow bigger la.

Good night.

yes i'm skinny, so??

Many people, too many to count, too many to remember who are they, commenting that I am skinny ever since I’m just a kid until today.

Er.. ok.. how should I response to this.

Everytime they say something about this, I’ll just listen because what can I do? I have pocket-sized body and so what?? Some adults will even question whether my parents never feed me is it or whether I’m too poor to eat.

And also the normal comments:

“Ayooo skinny la you!” “Why you so skinny one?” “You are so skinny la.”

What the fark??

So what if people are skinny?! Mana u sakit??

Why we always criticize and judge other’s appearance?

Don’t we all going to die at the end of the day?

Stop being so judgmental, so negative, so rude and so sarcastic. Come on people!

Many people scared and feel shy of their appearance. Many people wana change their physical appearance like wear braces, get plump, get skinner, put heavy make up and so on. Why so care?? It’s ok.. everyone has flaw in themselves. Take it as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. No one is perfect. As long as the heart is nice ma can already lo.

This is me, take it or leave it. If you choose a friend because of their appearance, then you TAK LAYAK to be called as a friend. A friend doesn’t choose their friends by the appearance. Accept others if you want other to accept you.

well..

let's do what we can do.

While most of us here are still safe, able to online and be with friends and family, let us put our hands together, just take one minute to pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters who are facing disasters now.

my first video

Jeng jeng jeng!!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my first ever video production!!

Wahahaha.

I’m feeling so excited because this is the first time I make a video using a software all by myself. I am not an IT person. I’m bad in technology. That’s why I used about 2 hours to make this video. The Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 is so different from what I used to see few years ago. I think it has been upgraded.

So what’s so great about this video? It’s great because my effort paid off. I feel so satisfied because I finished what I’ve started.

This video is not shot by video camera. It’s actually a photo slideshows and I made it into a video so that I can post it on Youtube.

105 photos are used to make this video. I shot these photos back in 31/12/2009. It was 5am in the morning and I stood in front of Masjid Kapitan Keling in Penang for 30 minutes, waiting for the moon to set.

And I was so lucky because the moon was at its fullest that night, which was also the 15^th of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

Besides than photography, I actually enjoy videography too. I want to be in the video and I want to produce video or movie too. The problem is I don’t have the tools to make it happen. Video camera is too expensive. Plus, my camera can’t take video.

Today I’m the producer, director, cameraman, and also the editor of my video. Hahaha.

So let’s enjoy this short video clip of “Moonset on the Last Day of 2009”.

Happy International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all the females in the world.

I know i am late 3 hours but still, Happy International Women's Day to all/

I really hope there'll be no more violence against women, no domestic abuse, no slavery, no misuse of women and no bad things against the women.

I also hope that there will be more feminism movements in this country.

say NO to gender discrimination!

men or women all are equal. when i say equel, means equality in treatment. u dun stupid come and tell me women can't be strong as man, standing while peeing, have penis, wear jeans, or have beard.

come la don't be so naive la.

equality means give equal treatment to women. if a man can get a good job, so does a hardworking and smart woman.

don't ever look down on the power and strength and ability and the spirit of women!

Women deserved love, care, attention, respect, understanding, and support like the men TOO.

We need each other to make this world better.

The world will never be a better olace without women.

Just think who does most of the hardworks especially in your life?

Your MOTHER la! And what is her gender?? Of course female la duh!! takkan your mother male meh!! dun tell me your matha is a man la! wat the heck!!

SO RESPECT WOMEN LIKE YOUR MOTHER!

Lastly, this is what i posted in my Facebook, "Happy International Women's Day. Let's be more respectful to them and treat them equally. When you wana do something bad on them, imagine they are like your mum too. becareful later kena ROTAN!"

Ok, my brain is hang! my brain is blank. i duno what i'm talking about. eye lids are gluing to each other. many people are still awake doing their assignments. good luck n rest early.

ok. tq. good nite. bye bye.

If you want a change, then be the change, make the change happen!

it's still raining

waterdrops from my window.

well, it's still raining out there. whole night already.

i didn't go out for dinner because my bike break down last night.

thanks to my senior, Elween who fetched me to uni this afternoon.

hmmm.. it has been some time since my blog is about my daily life. i mean, in 1 post i talk about what happen bla bla bla la.. you know.. tonight i just feel like writing a diary. who cares! if you don't like, you don't read la. If you wana attack my personal life also go ahead la. you got nothing better to do right??

today is the official day i cycle to uni in this semester although it's the second time. the first time was last Friday when i cycled all the way for 20minutes to Eastlake to meet Pei Suang and the rest then cycled for another 10mins to uni.

have to cycle lo, what to do, motor rosak ma. Siang Yong came to my house and we cycled together. we used to cycle to uni a lot last time before i got my bike. the feeling of nostalgic was there. the sky was so blue with the sunny clouds. the guard waved to me, telling me it's good to cycle. hahaha. of course it's good cuz they don't have to face me, who always try to sneek into uni. my bike don't have sticker actually. shhh.. =p

i had a presentation today. i did something different for the presentation la and i know it's not well accepted especially by a friend when she showed her disgruntled face, not looking at us at all throughout the whole presentation. hmmm.. it's ok. at least i and my groupmates dare to do something different. it's actually a simple presentation. we have to interview politicians. so we feel it'll be boring if we just explain and compare the politicians. at the end, we acted out the whole interview session. hahah. this is the very first time i act in my presentation i think. is it?? =p

my classmates especially Dai Ga Jie, Ah Joo, PC, Pei Suang and Ai Loon were so high tonight. they kept on spamming my Facebook wall by tagging me in their video. Oh God! i tell you, in total, it's more than 30 videos lo. siao la! they were so damn high. duno why.. everyone pakat and attack me. hahaa.

Then i posted this is my Facebook status, "oh JR-ians Jan 2009 intake sekalian. spam me la till this December. Wherever you all go, i will follow you, till we say bye bye. YESSSH!! muakS!".

We are going to graduate by the end of this year. I can see many people have developed, i won't use the change la. I can see developments in them. some become better in ENglish especially Ai Loon. i love to see her talk nowadays. And Vivien is not that crazy anymore. While for Mirawani, i'm touched and impressed when she let go her dream of winning a modelling competition for her studies. These are just the very few examples.

Being here in UTAR 3 years more or less has make us grown up. Saying goodbye is a hard thing but i'm sure before we say goodbye, we'll spend a lot of time together. And they already plan to go Genting Highlands in Week 13, Pangkor Island in Week 14, Terengganu in semester break and Sarawak end of this year.

hahaha. habis koyaklah poket i. But aiyah don't berkira so much la. seriously think about this, do you think you'll have the chance to travel with them after you graduate? i'm not trying to be sentimental here but this is the fact. you can have thousandsss of friends in the cyber world, but true friends only a few of them and in university's life, your classmates are your true friends.

cherish them. make use of the time when you are with them. forgive and forget, support each other.

i talk too much. lalalalalalala.

class at 8am tomorrow. oh hope that the rain won't stop so that i can sleep till the afternoon. haha. how to go to uni if it's rain. ayayaya.

one more thing, one last thing before i end my 'speech', my photos may be not good enough to be put into an exhibition, it's ok, because at least i still have my Facebook and blog to share the beauty of my life through the lense.

梁靜茹 (Fish Leong) - 情歌沒有告訴你 I didn't tell you the love song

Anyway today's lecture talk about new media and yang sama waktu dengannya.

some blog is political, some is very personal and some for business.

i know sometimes i write about politics but this blog is not meant for politics solely. it's for me to express myself.

ok. tq. bye. =p

in presentation..

You might be so much better than your friends. You might not like the contents, language proficiency or style of their presentation but out of respect, you should not show your disgruntled face to them. As your friends, aren't you supposed to give them moral support? You are not perfect either. Accept others differences like how you want people to accept you.

pecah not pancit

Pantun Kampar Sudah Hujan

Hujan lebat akhirnya sudah mali

Gua rempit balik almost mau mati

Semua olang lari masuk lumah sindiri

Go main hujan la if lu bokiasi

Badan basah cepat-cepat pi mandi

Air sejuk buat gua lompat sana-sini

But after pangsai ahhh syiok sekali

Kampar panas gila sejak dari pagi

Tolonglah hujan jangan henti

But dunla sampai esok pagi

If dinner hujan tak henti-henti

UTAR students have to cal delivery

But handphone no money
You don't come and find me

Some people have to eat cokodok basi

Wah hujan make me so hapi

If can, esok hujanlah lagi
