M-fest

Volunteering in M-fest today.... Thought should be really fun but it turned out to be a bit disappointing... Not many stores and the food was expensive... 3 angkuh kuih for $5 and 2 ampang balek for $7.... I can have hips of those back in Malaysia with less than those prices.... But here's Sydney.... can't really blame them... Thinking of setting up a store selling Sarawakians' Food next year... Hahahaha.... After I learn all my cooking....

Anyway, had lots of fun hanging around with friends today... and met a lot of cool people too...

Me surveying.....

Mr Harimau and me... with Min Jie and Tze Hui

Story-telling... (阿嬌的故事)

清澈的蓝天，翠绿的树叶，微微的清风中，暖暖的阳光下，九月的夏天午后，阿嬌努力眺望的身影... ...

阿嬌:“Ho, 你这个死鬼，整天都不知道死去那里去，给我捉到你就死定了！！！”

阿嬌：“又是踢球！！一颗球几十个人追，有什么那么好玩！！”

阿明：“就是很好玩lo 你们这些黄脸婆懂个屁！！”

阿嬌：“好哇，很喜欢踢是不是，老娘就在这里跟你耗着，看你能踢到什么时候！！”

阿嬌发现原来也有一个人和她一样，在等着死鬼，可是那人比阿嬌幸福多了... 因为... 她的死鬼来了...

看着他们幸福的背影， 阿嬌不禁感到凄凉.....

3 hours later.......

曲终人散.....

从太阳高挂等到太阳西下.....

阿嬌始终还是没有等到阿明......

When everything turns RED!!

Red... Red... Red... Everything was red.... I was in Red when I woke up this morning... Couldn't believe it... everything outside the window was red... Was I dreaming... or Alliens already over-ruled the Earth... For a second, I thought that it was the end of the world..... What if it really was???

I am not kidding....It's not a picture from photoshop. It was real Sydney on 23rd of September, covered by RED haze... Unbelieveable....

一觉醒来，窗外再也不是蔚蓝的天空，而是一片火红．．有那么一刹那我真的很害怕再也看不到蓝天了。今天，整座城市变得苍老了，灰黄的烟雾弥漫着整座城市，忽然间好像变成了一座死城，不再有昔日的活力。忽然觉得，难道这会是地球毁灭前的遗容．．．

使我不得开心颜

我因为害怕被孤立、被遗弃而努力尝试着合群。 就好像灰姑娘硬是穿着华丽又高贵的礼服，穿梭在豪华的上流舞会里，迎合着，合群地笑着聊着跳着一首接着一首太过高贵优雅，太不合适自己的圆舞曲。时时刻刻担心着十二点钟声的响起，深怕华丽的躯壳会随着魔法消失，害怕成为舞会里格格不入的那个人。

灰姑娘累了，不想再装了。灰姑娘就只是灰姑娘，不是公主，没有美丽的城堡也没有富有的家境。那又何必勉强呢？

一包血 = 三条人命

去捐血的当天却发现在场捐血的大部分都是女生，而且大多是红毛人。男生是怎么了，怕血，还是怕痛？让我很意外的是捐血活动非常受欢迎，没有预约的话是不能捐血的。这种情况跟马来西亚的情况很不一样。或许是我们东方教育和西方教育的不同吧。从小家人都灌输我说我的身体很虚弱，捐血很危险，其实我一点都不虚弱，而且健康的很，抽了一大包血都没有感觉到什么。

An adult has a blood volume of about 4 to 5 litres and it only takes 24 - 48 hours to replace the plasma portion and around 3-5 weeks to replace the red blood cells. So, 470 ml of blood isn't really much to give away and still can save at least 3 lives....

黄色的美丽

今天是澳洲一年一度的 Daffodil Day, 是一个专为癌症研究中心筹款的活动，而我也去当义工了，穿着黄色的T-shirt 在路边叫卖，虽然很累，但却很充实。今天我看到了人情人暖，有些人很慷慨的掏出腰包，有些人却看都不看一眼。让我印象很深刻的是一位阿麽，她坐在轮椅上，拿着很多束我们卖的Daffodil flowers，身上也别了Daffodil 的badges。 她看到我们时对我们笑一笑说，“I bought a lot of Daffodil flowers today, and also the badges... and I have cancer...” 她也对我们说加油，努力的筹款。其实今天来支持这个活动的很多都是癌症患者，有一位女士也说了她在四个月前被诊断出了癌症。癌症真的很可怕，研究报告说两个人里面就会有一个人会患上癌症。未来会是什么我真的不知道，不过我很感恩上帝让我和我的家人都健健康康平平安安的生活着。我真的很幸福，我希望能把我拥有的幸福和幸运和别人分享一点。

这只Dr. Dougal Teddy bear 很可爱吧... 以前我从来都不买teddy bear 的，觉得很浪费，可是今天我却发现它是多么的可爱，多么的有意义。

Life's equal?

Which one sounds more precious to you? A farmer or a baby??



This afternoon, when I was doing a dam building exercise, my lecturer told us that if we build the dam on kaolite (clay), it will cause water leakage and also the collapse of the dam, which then causes death of babies. One of the students answered him that "Yeah, and also farmers, and may be sued.." Then, he replied, "No... Nobody cares if farmers're dead... people only care when BABIES die and you'll get sued because you cause the babies' death..."

Yeah, when you think about it.. it seems to be true... People care more on babies rather than farmers...

Nobody even cares if a farmer died from starvation or drought but the world was turned by the death of Michael Jackson... Well, you could say yeah Michael Jackson was a legend, he contributed a lot to pop music industry... Yeah, that's true, but what about the farmer?? Didn't he contribute anything to the community??

See.... Life's equal??
