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

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。


(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~^^)

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?

Kampung Baru Tiram Setia

Back again we were in Kampung Baru Tiram Setia, Tanjong Karang, Kuala Selangor.

A few new food stalls have been set up behind JKKK (our camp venue), one selling nice 雪花冰, one cooking tasty food.

Kids and kampung people are still the same, riding bicycles and motorbikes everywhere, every time.

We had 48 kids this time, most of them old kids who came for the last camp and there were also some new faces.

The kids' behavior is a lot better this time. The girl who was used to be so rude was no longer 'that' rude, she listened and learnt. The boy, little bumble bee, who could not sit for a second in the class can now sit more than a second, still not paying attention but paid a little, at least.

Parents' were more participative this time, judging from the number of parents attending our opening and closing ceremony.

My group won the best group this time, the kids were so happy, so did i.

The hardest kid in my group, 伟嘉, who did not care much on what was going on throughout the camp and liked to disturb others, was in tears when we were going to leave the kampung, to another teacher who were so closed to him, we cried too. I did not expect him to.

Pray that God will bless the kids. What they learnt during the camp will be planted deep into their heart and will not be moved by the temptations and bad influences that they are doing to encounter. Pray that they will continue being a good child in the family and good student in school. Pray that they will be loved enough, so that their heart will be softened.

Pray also God will bless the families there, especially the adults--parents and grandparents to take care and teach their children well, not having gender bias and too engrossed in their own business.

Pray for Siew Ching who travels from Subang to the Kampung every Saturday to teach English there. Pray for the revival in the kampung by bringing more Christian teachers in.

Thank you Lord for everything, especially throughout the organizing period and the camp--from the fund needed, people, transport, all were settled beautifully in the end. We can't thank you enough =D
