How do you color your paper?

2011-01-03T01:35:00.000-08:00

One day there is a person telling me, your life is just like a blank paper, it start with nothing, just a white clean paper. But you an decide how to color it or draw it.

When you want it to be colorful, to full with joy and happiness ... Then you can color a brighter color... Every color actually significant of different situation or mood.

If you would like to color the paper red, then it will become red, if you like rainbow, then you can always color it rainbow color... you're the one who decide the road of your life... no can make you color green while you want yellow...

When you have draw it wrong, then you can tear it off and start all over again.... to change the black to colorful color... Life are just like drawing, that is what it say in chinese... when you color if well, it will become a great painting, when you have no direction, it become mess....when you're not careful, you mix the wrong color then become ugly~ Color selection is very important ...

Make sure you use the right color to color your paper, so it will be a great painting that make you proud....

Sarawak River Cruise中元节游船河兼放水灯(19.8.2010)

2010-08-24T01:14:00.000-07:00

七月开鬼门相传每年农历的七月初一,阴间的鬼门关开大门,所有的孤魂野鬼放出来到人间。世间的善男信女,为了祭祀自己的祖先并为了安抚那些无人祭祀的孤魂野鬼,纷纷购买牲仪果品来祭拜,所以这种教人孝亲,推己及人的民俗风气就形成了中元节,这个深具哲理意义的节日了。七月十五日的「中元」和我国另外两个节日：正月十五日的「上元」和十五日的「下元」前后呼应。道家认为「三元」乃「三官」的别称,而三元各为三官大帝的诞辰。中元,地官来到人间,考察人们的善恶,所以民间在这一天有祭拜地官的仪式,但祭拜时是三官一齐祭拜的,称为「拜三界公」,这是「礼多神不怪」的心理作用。「普渡」本来是「普遍超渡渡孤魂野鬼」的意思,和「拜三界公」原来不相干,因为时间的巧合,使民间在观念和仪式中出现将二者凑巧合而为一的混淆状况。中国人自古就有相信七月初一「开鬼门关」、七月三十日「关鬼门关」。就笔者来说自我懂事以来,每年到七月的前几天大人一定会叮咛全家大小在七月一日那天不要那么早开门。在这整整的一个月期间,各地举行普渡祭典。较早以前各地村庄,轮流举行普渡,就以新竹县芎林乡客家庄来说,每年的七月初四在栅门口举行「细婴普」。整个七月份的祭典都排得十分紧密,后来却成为轮流大吃拜拜的奢侈习俗了。

于水中的水鬼和孤魂,是用﹁放水灯」来通知他们普渡的时间。「水灯」是用竹条三节,绑好与纸糊成盒子的形状或糊成尖顶的「纸厝」。在纸厝上写了「水灯首」或「水灯头」 ,而在厝内贴上红纸「庆赞中元」或「普渡阴公」等字样,并且在其中插齿一对蜡烛和几枝香。所有的纸厝是安放在黄麻编成的筏,或是用香蕉茼做成排的筏,借着浮力漂流在水面的。

信士手捧着水灯,在普渡的前一天,由道士领导,先游行各市街道,来到河边时再放在水面上,让它漂流而去。如果放水灯是在黄昏或夜晚举行,点点灯火在水上漂流,远看灯光闪烁,别有情趣。

「中元节」的普渡民俗和一般节日或纪念日的活动有很大的不同,最大的区别具阴森传统的色彩,并使人在慎终追远之时,也兴起了「抚今追者」人生的伦理情感和展望。

以「放水灯」为例,是在庙普的前一天晚上举行,吸引了很多看热闹的人潮,俗称「放水灯」的普渡民俗,是借着水灯的灯光,将淹死的鬼魂聚集起来,让他们浮出阳世,以便普渡。「水灯」分有「水灯头」和「水灯排」两种。水灯头有圆形灯,上面写着「某某寺庙庆赞中元」灯排列于游行前列最前头。小屋形状的水灯排在最后。小屋形状的水灯排在最后。屋几颗铜板钱,再将所有的灯放入河中,任其漂流而去。

放水灯普渡活动，使砂拉越佛教会每年必行的活动，今年我们罗浮团，特派了几位罗浮童军前去帮忙，也顺便见识一下民间习俗。

我不懂...

2010-08-16T04:13:00.000-07:00

有时候当你说不知道或不能时，你可想过在别人的眼中是什么吗？可能我们一辈子也不可能知道，因为是别人在想，别人在推断，是别人的认为。可是当你知道了他们的想法时，那才叫做“伤”，因为在你的心目中他们不可能这么想。当你知道你在别人的心目中是这样的时候，失望可见得是一个让你无法用言语来表达的事。因此有时候真不知道应该说庆幸还是悲哀。应为我从以前就有一个想法，无论是我认识的人，不认识的，或只是查身而过的，都是因为个“缘”字而碰上的。所以我们要珍惜每一滴，每一个人。可是就因为珍惜，让自己越陷越深。一次又一次的忍让，那又怎样？到后来伤的还是自己。

有时候出于好心，可是到后来害了自己，这叫做惹祸上身。

尽心尽力的去帮朋友，可是到后来，被认为是在后面做手脚的人，这叫做自讨麻烦。

可以说我实在不懂，不懂得要怎么分辨自己到底走对了还是错了~

帮了，被叫做“多管闲事”，说不知道就被称为“自私”。

怎么样都是“千古罪人”

送給那些經常笑，但不經常開心的人...

2010-07-30T10:01:00.000-07:00

總有一些人，他們看上去整天都很開心，沒有煩惱，像個小孩，好多人都會羨慕他們，但其實不是這樣的。他們不想讓別人看到自己難過的一面，更沒有能力一個人獨處，因為當夜深人靜的時候，他不知道一個人會發生什麽事，坐在窗前冥想走過的點滴。

他們貌似很堅強，因為在別人看來，他們什麽事都能微笑著去面對，但事實上他們長著世界上最脆弱的心靈，只是長期的偽裝使得別人很難發現他們內心深處的創傷。

他們只想簡簡單單、快快樂樂的活著，期待並且相信每個人給的笑容都是真心的，希望身邊的人都是真正的喜歡自己。即使別人小小的意見，也會另他們難過好久，他們真的真的很介意，介意自己不被人喜歡。因為，他們總是為別人想的很多，對別人總是比對自己好；把能對喜歡的人好當做幸福，喜歡別人比喜歡自己多。

他們總是那樣，前一秒還傷心的流著淚，後一秒出現在朋友面前的時候，已經滿臉溢著燦爛的笑容。有人說她們是向日葵，是的，他們在意的人就像是太陽，在面對太陽的時候永遠是明艷的花瓣，而太陽照不到的背面，那悲傷藏得那麽好，不願被看見。

他們向往放縱自由的生活，卻必須為了誰很努力的朝另外的一個方向活著，很累很累，卻仍是心甘情願。離自己的夢境越來越來遠，不得不面對從未想過的爭奪和復雜，恐慌、不知所措。只有面對最信賴的人時，才會卸下盔甲，委屈的流下眼淚。因為在他們心裏，笑就是開心，哭就是難過，接近就是喜歡，遠離就是討厭。但其實不是，他們明白了，心好傷，眼淚就沒忍住。哭過之後，笑笑得擦幹眼淚，說，沒關系，我可以做的很好的。

他們好像無所不能，好像總是不會有煩惱，好像什麽問題都能輕而易舉的解決，總是喜歡喜歡出現在流淚的人面前，笑嘻嘻的逗著笑。而面對自己的問題，他們卻茫然無措，面對自己的悲傷，他們只會躲在人們看不見的角落裏慢慢由傷口越裂越大。

他們的想法非常簡單，說出來的就是心裏所想的，肚子裏不會拐七道八道的小彎，無心的話可能會引起別人的誤解。所以，請別記恨她們，他們從不願傷害誰，小小的錯誤就能讓他們懊悔很久。
他們其實非常單純，甚至你曾經給了他一個微笑她也會一輩子記得你的好，因此他們的世界觀其實也很簡單，他們很容易受蠱惑，請不要輕易的傷害他們的感情，因為一旦傷害了，那就將永遠彌補不回來！如果你身邊有這種人請你給予他（她）那怕是鳳毛麟角的那點關懷，讓他（她）知道這個世界沒有拋棄他們......

Actually I was having class that day, my macroeconomics class. The class finish at 5pm, then I walk to the carpark which is located infront of the school. Then I saw a death bat infront my car, so i bring it to the another side of the car, where there is a rock.... Theni snap snap the bat...hahaha... Never see a bat this close... When we talks about bat, we think of Vampire....kekeke

And I also just realie that, the bat actually very similar to a mouse, they also got a pair of big ears like mouse... Even before this peoles says, bat are also look like a mouse, but i didn't see it close... So just have only a perception, now i saw it...hahahaha~

But how much we understand about bat...hahaha... Below are some information about Bat:

Bats are mammals. Sometimes they are mistakenly called "flying rodents" or "flying rats". And they can also be mistaken for insects and birds.
There are about 1,100 bat species worldwide, which represent about 20 percent of all classified mammal species.
About 70 percent of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, or fruit eaters. A few species feed from animals other than insects.
Bats are present throughout most of the world and perform vital ecological roles such as pollinating flowers and dispersing fruit seeds. Many tropical plants depend entirely on bats for the distribution of their seeds.

Sematan Day Trip + Carol's Birthday Celebration (15.11.2009)

Taking the photos on the tree that loaction near the beach

Now we have move over to Sematan Palm Beach Resort

It was Carol's birthday celebration actually, we bring her here to celebrate her birthday without letting her know about it. We first taken some photos near the Jetty then we went to the open beach (means no one control or own the beach side). We then have a little picnic there by having a lunch together under the tree of the seaside. After the lunch, we went to play with the sea water. Elbert was the one who really gt excited with the sea... Just when we arrive at the beach, he rush over to the seashore. We didn't thought of anything after the lucnh, and run for the sea and play...

Actually it was a miserable day, as we have ply very crazy, everyone is wet and full with snad all over... Then the sky started to rain, so we must get ourself changes and go back home. Actually planning to get changes nearby, but our body was covered with sands and feel very itchi. So we must find a place that can give us a shower... So where is the toilet and bathroom ( we start to look for it). Thats was a "WOW" that time, cause without a bathroom, we are miserable... Then we planned to go to Plam Breach Resort, as Aaron says, there are bathrooms that we can use just need to pay RM2 for the entrance...

So we get ourselves in the car with the whole body wet and covered with sands, so the car also get wet and sand all over. Cause it was raining, I need to turn on the air-con in the car, as the car mirror will become blur if i didn't switch it on.... Then we're all wet, covered with sands and cold....(shaking in the car) We're all really looks like th dogs that just get bath...

When we arrive at Plam Beach Resort, there was a security officer at the front gate who collecting the entrance fee.... He smile at us when he collect the fee, I think he know whats going on by looking on our faces.... Then we planned to go for second round to the sea as there is bathrooms over there, but then the rain become heavyer and the wave become stronger while we're playing, so we planned to get changes.

After we get changes and pack our things, the rain has go away, and come out with a very shine sun... Haiz~ So... Never mind, then we went to play with the volley ball at the beach.

About 4pm, we get the food out anf finish it then celebrated Carol's birthday. We going back from Sematan back to Kuching about 5.30pm. As my little Kancil can only be drove 80km per hour, it was veyr slow... We arrive home about 7.30pm, so thats means take use 2 hours from there. The poor things is, Alex was driving his Avanza behind me, following me by driving only 80km per hour... Really pity him...

But that was a very fun day and experiance, as that was really my first expeiance that i get mtself so miserable... Haiz~

What is friend?

2009-09-25T08:47:00.000-07:00

When you are sad,

I will dry your tears

When you are scared,

I will comfort your fears.

When you are worried,

I will give you hope.

When you are confused,

I will help you cope,

And when you are lost,

And can't see the light.

I shall be your beacon,

Shining ever so bright

This is my oath.

I pledge till the end.

Why you may ask?

Because your my friend. -author Monica Mai -Chua Lo

When time pass, I question myself. What is friend? How do I define the word of friend? Every since I question myself, I got my own answer. Having a friend, we do not need a reason or think is worth or not. Every friends that I have, stand a very special places in my heart, no one can replaces each of them. Because every human have their own character, there is not another one which is 100% same. Even every peoples that I meet on the street, I think is a fate. If is not because of that, then how will they meet? So I appreciate everyone~

Friendship is not like an agreement or contract, where it come with term and condition. We become friends, because we feel happy being together and share what we had. Helping each other, because the friendship is there and the care among each of us. Sometime even they hurt me, I will not regret of having them as my friend. Even they do something that hurt me so well, I will only angry for the time being, then let it go... Don't know why~ I can't keep the anger so long, example like years or ages...

Even they do some very bad things on me, if they ask me for help again, I will do it and forgot about what they have done... Because friend really come with no condition. If you were angry for years and ages for just a reason of anger, then that is not call a friend anymore, is call as enemy... But the anger always come with the caring of a friend, if you didn't care about your friend, you will not feel the anger, disappointed and the sadness...

There was few friends of mine, done some very terrible things on me. I was very angry with them in the starting, and I talk alot about them ( to realise my anger), but then, when they talk to me again, I answer them normally, even they ask me for some help, I still do it... I can't help it, cause it happen to be so automatically... I also don't know why~ In the other way, when I think back, I really feel that, I should actually thank them~ Because of their behavior and done something to me, my life become colourful, it become meaningful, and I also learn from it~

There is a very best friend of mine, say something that really hurt my feeling and I think I will remember those words for the rest of my life. It was really a hurting one, that I never expect it come from the mouth of my friend. I was very angry, disappointed and sad about it. I was really doing what the poem said, I do eveyrthing for that friend. Helping without considering about myself, and never break my promises about it. But in the end, its come with hurting words... Even saying that, it has no trust on me. From the day onward, I never expect any trust from that friend, but I will still keep my promises. Every secrect that the friend share and tell, I will lock it in my heart~

What I can do now, I will just only smile and remain silent. Believe it or not, is depend on the friend of mine. It think like that because there is once, it thinks that I have betray one of the friend by telling out the secrect, but that is not. And it also believe that I simply tell people about it, and simply make some decision for it. But the answer is a no.... Even come with explanation, but there is no believing in me....

It makes me feel very bad for a few weeks, but then I tell my friend, no need to run away or look differently when see me... Because I blame no one. We're still friend, even there is something there before, but that is pass... I will always be there again, if there is a mess, I will still help, if there is something, I will still listen~

I'm not saying myself is good or what, but that is me... I'm like that. Since I was in secondary, this kind of me is there every since... There is nothing change, peoples do ask me to learn how to say no. Yes... I been trying it, I learn how to say no to the things that I don't want to, but really slow~ Because saying no without hurting peoples, that is the hard part...

I feel the pain, I don't want others to feel it too... I rather I feel it myself than other peoples to feel it, and looking at their sad faces~ When you looking on it, your heart are more pain than it~

I'm climbing Mount Matang with my father and sister on 30.8.2009. We arrive at the entrance of Mount Matang about 7.20am, Mount Matang is one of the National Park in Sarawak which us call as Kubah National Park. Then we slowly climb up to the mountain, along the way up to the mountain, there are many kinds of plants that we can see.
In here, I just take a few snaps of the plants, because there are too many to take. This is also include the wild mushroom that is in orange colour. When we have arrive at the submit of the mountain, there is a tower where we can have our view more clear from the mountain. The tower is very high, which we can see the whole mountain from there. We arrive about 10.20am at the submit, thats mean take us about 3 hours in climbing the mountain.
After taking a rest there, then we head down to the mountain, we reah the entance of the mountain about 12.10pm, going down is more fater than climbing up, but when going down, it take more strength than going up. We have soemthing to eat after going down, then we head to Telaga Air, which is a small village that is near by. We bought some fish at the village, because the village is near the sea and the fish is very fresh and big in size. We going back to kuching about 1.30pm.

I didn't follow over that night, because I still have a paper to sit in the next morning.
So on 8.8.2009 night, I 'fly' over to Sibu to meet them by using MAS flight, and landed on Sibu about 9.40pm. After a night stay over at Sibu, in the next morning, we had a breakfast together and let them explore Sibu for a while.

This is the picture where we had arrive at Batang Ai, where after we leave Sibu (we didn't directly headed back to Kuching). Preparation to take the boat and go into the village, we have to move all the things from our transport.

At the back of me, there is the place where we get our boat ride, and Mr.Joseph is taking some photos there too...

All of us has prepare to go into the village and start to pack our things from the van, all seem very exited and imagine what we will see along the way...

this is where the river infront of the village, it has a very nice view and the water is very clean. we then have a moment of playing in the water before we leave the village.

After a night stay at the long house, we do see how they live and how they manage their life in the village. We also see most of their culture and life style....

The next location after we return to kuching is Giam Waterfall, this is the picture where Ah Siang is very happy with his watermelon putting under his shirt, where he looks like the 'pregnant guy' i don't know why he so happy about it...hahaha

In the next day, we went to Tasik Biru at Bau before we depart to Wind Cave and Fairy Cave near by. It was the gold mine before, where peoples looks for the golds, after the golds was finish digged, the place has become a lake where all the water flow into it.

This is the entrance of the wind cave...

This is the view that you can see when you're in the Fairy Cave. We then go to Fairy Cave after Wind Cave, but that is after our lunch at Bau town. It was really a nice place to go if you want a good photo shoot...

This is the photo where we take at the entrance of Fairy Cave... There is Ah Kiong with red T-shirt, Yen Hua at my right and Kah Kiet at my left, while Khai Ti infront of me...

There was another cave entrance when we walk for so long in the cave, finally we found a way out beside the main entrance.. but it was only a place for us to visit of take photos, in the end still have to go back to the same entrance to meet the others or get out from the cave...

This is what we when we manage to go to the other side of the cave... But that can not make us out of the cave.. still have to walk back where we come from... it was really tiring~

Jen Yong beside me, while Khai Ti climb more higher than us for the photo..

For the west Malaysia scouts, they head back on 12.8.2009 night, while for the Hong Kong scouts, they go back on 13.8.2009 morning. We manage to bring them for a breakfast before they leave. I think they really enjoy the foods and the trip for the pass one week... In the same time, we also have a good time together and serve them what we can... Really hope that they would come again, because we will always get prepare to bring them around~

Pinoeering (28.7.2009 - 2.8.2009)

2009-08-22T09:34:00.000-07:00

Working under the sun... Everyone seem to be hardworking

We started to the small little model two weeks before the day we went for our true pinoeering project. Me, Khai Ti and Ah Kiong where in the same group, and we work out the project in three. And another group is Kah Kiet, Yen Hua and Ah Siang. There are in a same group with another model of project. So thats mean there are two groups in the exam of the new rover training scheme. Almost every afternoon or morning, both of them come to my house and do the small model.

We first go to our Scout HQ to get some bamboo to make the model. After we cut down the bamboo, we slices it into small sticks. So it will make us more easy in making the model. On 28.7.2009, we went to 58th mile, a place after Serian, but before Balai Ringin (my grandma house) to do the project. We have apply our camp permit with out DC (Mr.Charles Yeo) and also write a inform letter to our ADC (Mr.Daniel Siong).

The weather was realy hot, and we work under the sun for six days. We return back to Kuching on 2.8.2009. Then all of us is exausted and also get sunburn in the same time. Really make all of us dry for the pass six days... But it was a very experiance project for us, since we have not touch a pinoeering for a long time....

Cakes and Desert

2009-06-21T06:53:00.000-07:00

A kind of desert made from fruits (Starwberry), cookies and fresh cream

Strawberry Cake

Chocolate Cake

On 6.6.2009, I ask a few friends of mine to come over my house to taste the cake that I make, it is a Chocolate cake that being decorate with Stawberry, that is the first cake that I made with cream on it, so the decoration is not very nice actually. Then, that day I also made a special kind of desert. The desert is actually being made with the fresh cream and strawberry that I use to made the cake. It taste better when i add on some cookies on it, but my friends was not able to taste it, because they has go home after that. I just get a thought of that after they went. Because that time, I was thinking what I gonna do with the fresh cream and stawberry that is left. So I has come out with the desert idea...
Then on 13.6.2009, I made another cake. It is a fully Chocolate cake, and i put some berry on it for decoration, the shape is a little bit better than the first one I made. But it is still a little bit of not enough in the taste of the cake, maybe my skill has not yet come to that stages. I made this one is because my grandma wanna eat it...

2009-05-20T08:57:00.000-07:00

We went to Sushi King for lunch on 22 April 2009, as Sushi King is making an offer for member, RM2 each plate for selected plate. The offer only applicable for member, so we borrow the member card from Ah Siang. I was waiting for my favorite Salmon, but after that time, i was scared to see or eat sushi, maybe that day eat too much.
This time, there is not much peoples are going, maybe the economy is not good, I heard last year there are full of customers and have to wait outside the shop. But I forgot to take the picture of the sushi, is too bad. Then we went to Blue Box Karaoke to sing a few songs.Is a really nice day that day.

2009-05-20T08:47:00.000-07:00

On 28.3.2009 we has come to Ah Siang house for Dinner, he cooked us some lamb, while me and Kah Kiet prepared spageti for the dinner. After the dinner, we when outside Ah Siang house to BBQ some lamb.
But it is still early when we finish eating all those lamb, so we went into the house and sing a few song. As that night, the government annoucement to close light or electricity for an hour, so we close all the lights and singing karaoke in the house...

Bako National Park (13.12.2008)

2009-01-15T06:36:00.000-08:00

Bako National Park on 13.12.2008, which is a part of Scout activity. There are Hong Kong and also West Malaysia Scouts coming to visit Kuching from 10.12.2008 till 16.12.2008. We as a local scout in Kuching has be their tour guide for 7 days, and responsible to bring them to the interesting places that kuching have. Bako National Park is one of the tourist spot that we have bring them.

Actually this is also my first time I ever been to Bako National Park. Before this I just seen the park's picture from internet or some photos from friends. The first experiance that I have when I was there is, the monkey has stole my hot dog. All the wild monkey were so attracting with the foods, they will find any chances to grap your belonging, especially food. That happen when I'm doing the registration.

Thatnight we have a BBQ there, suddently a wild pig come out. It just like "let me share some" really shocking, cause usually a wild pig is affraid or fire and humans, but this one seem like already get use to it. But we are not entitle to feed them. In the next morning when we wake up, the monkeys come again. This time, they even bring their family members with them. They just staring at us when we have our breakfast, at the same time, they also look for a chance to grap some. The Hong Kong Scouts tell us that, when they wake in the morning, they see the monkeys go into our kitchen and grap our food. They even know how to open the kitchen door and open the packs.

After our breakfast, we are gievn a free time to explore the island. So we when near the beach and take some photos. The view was very beautiful and amazing. Really like to spend all my camera's memory by taking all the photos. The air is fresh and the water is very clear, is just like a haven of relax. After we take all the photos, lunch is the next part.

When lunch time comes, all the monkeys are prepare. They wait near the cafeteria, searching for chances. They even grap the food that being eating by the customers. This monkeys seem like very hungry, and not eat a thing for very long. We go back by using the boat when lunch finished. the boat ride takes about 30 minutes till 45 minutes.
