父亲节快乐!

子曰:『父母在,不远游;游必有方。』
意指父母在世,不宜到远处;即使远游,要有一定的去处。

身为在外深造的游子,一年在外的时间比在家里头多,见此孔老夫子的金句隔有感触。
父母盼儿回家的心不是常言能解。
所幸今时不同往日,有方便的电话通讯,快速的宽频网络来一解相思之愁。
常有父母远处的叮咛提醒,激起心中多少涟漪。
含蓄的心,仅将它们藏起。
誓以最好的课业个人表现,来日回家一报亲恩。

谨此贺辛劳的父亲,父亲节快乐

Februari.

February, a month of excitement.

Chinese New Year. Needless to say, a time of relaxation and content at home. The fireworks are awesome this year and i had a great time gaining weight at home.

Kangkar Baru & Yong Peng, Johor. Visit the nice kampong for a day. Ate a lot of local food there, thanks to roommate for her time bringing me around. Have another awesome time gaining weight.

SS2 pasar malam. Went three consequently in two weeks.
-The first time was upon Alan's invitation to his house for a nice big bowl of green bean soup. Yummy.
-The second time was to celebrate Single's (Valentine's) day with my dearest PKV mates.
-The third time, again went with PKV mates and a few new China friends, to celebrate the last day of CNY, Chap Goh Meh (aka Chinese Valentine's Day). On the way walking out, we were trapped in a thunderstorm (or a really really heavy rain). We hid under the shelter at the walkway before we ran into the lobby of Geology fac for (more secure) shelter when the winds got stronger and the trees were shaking frantically and we were half wet. When the thunderstorm were over half approximately an hour later, we saw tilted trees, some snapped off, and a lot of branches on the road. The second morning, i realised the shelter where we stood along the walkway were damaged by broken trees. Lucky we went into Geology building! Thank God! And a number of cars were damaged by broken trees. Poor cars. What exactly can withstand nature fury?

Lost camera. Left it in the taxi going back to UM from the third pasar malam. Ok that was really a happening day. Freaky thunderstorm and devastated camera lost. My fault, my negligence. I only hope the new owner can take care of it nicely and dispose my pictures inside appropriately. Sigh. No more pictures.

The doctrine of churches. Next weekend. Looking forward to it. =)

And of course, lots and lots of assignments. They are time-consuming, brain-hurting and challenging!

Thesis. Want to start writing it but can't. Assignments are blocking the way and i just can't sacrifice my sleep (already heavily sleep-deprived) for the sake of it. I can't sleep three hours and work for the rest 21 hours.

Hmm, i guess that's it for now.

Oh my last post was written on the date of 20 too.

A Hymn

It is ringing in my head for not just a few days.

On and off, off and on,
the melody, the lyrics, the message,
so beautiful, so ensuring.

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light.


Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.


Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tow'r.
Raise Thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.


Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns son,
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.


My Lord,
my Saviour,
my Model,
my Direction,
and most of all,
my Father.

Your grace overflows
and never let down
those who seek you.
Be thou my vision,
guide me
to be more like you,
Love,
and love unconditionally.

【我的女友是九尾狐】

应仲ing之荐,续【一枝梅】之后,看了这出剧。



典型韩剧,三角恋情,仅setting不同。

但此剧有可看之处-简单轻松,不是很复杂的恋爱情节;单纯青春帅气的主角们,还是吸引了偶的眼球。


(天真可爱的九尾狐及主人公车大雄)


(东朱老师,冰冷,帅气,酷毙!)


(后发现东朱老师竟然是以前the trax里的鼓手rose,哇!终于再见到他了,呵呵。这时候的他还真年轻呀!迷~^^)

探偵ガリレオ

嗯,应该是给龙马传里的福山雅治电了一下,就跑去看『神探伽利略』了。这部电视剧已被搁着许久,本对它没啥兴趣,现在就为了福山去看了看。别于龙马传里不修边幅的造型,福山在『神探』里帅气了许多,在剧中的展现个性、才能,让小女对他目不转睛。=D

剧情还算可以,反正这些推理剧里的人物的脑子就不知是用什么做的,在那一瞬间可以明白并结合所有的证据及原理,把案情真凶找出来。剧情评论不多说,就冲着福山看就对了,呵呵~

大河剧 一

花了一年半,终于把我的第一部大河剧看完了。共48集的【龙马传】,看完时有感慨,即振奋,又沮丧之感。好像每次看完电视剧都有这种无奈的感觉。=/

(剧照一:坂本龍馬,福山雅治饰)

龙马传,讲述幕末时代一位土佐藩下士-坂本龍馬一生33年的事迹。他生性好奇,有着别人没有的思绪,没有着一般武士的蛮悍,反而珍惜生命,主张和平。江户时期,黑船来袭,西方人迫使日本开国贸易。龙马受黑船影响,渐渐开拓视野,虽然加入挚友武市半平太所组,以尊皇攘夷为主要的“土佐勤王党”,但仍对其保持怀疑态度。日后脱藩,成为一介浪人,并拜胜麟太郎为师,极力拓展自己的知识,接受反战,建立海军的想法。其后土佐勤王党被强力瓦解,海军操练所被关闭,促使龙马进一步的成长。龙马等浪人到萨摩替西乡吉之助开船,搬货。到了长崎,被纵横商场的日本与各国商人激发了新的视野,后结成了“龟山社中”,促成萨摩与长洲结盟,成功倒幕,推动大政奉还。最后龙马被刺杀,可谓壮志未酬身先死。

龙马跨时代的创新思想,改变了日本的历史,影响了日本的发展,从一个闭门封建的幕府制度,到明治维新运动,至现在民主的政府,成为了亚洲领先的发展国。

从另一个角度来看,如果他没有因年早逝,日本会有怎样一个情景呢?日本会不会走上军国主义的道路呢?二战的悲剧会不会发生呢?

(剧照二:龙马传第三部在长崎时摄。左二高杉晋升把我给迷倒了,好酷哦~)
