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！

NEW

New semester.

Saw some new appearances, some cut/trim/'bomb'/shave their hair, some grow thinner/plumper.

Came to the same old place, creepy college/faculty.

Miss my home pc.


Miss the ppstream at home.


Miss my bike.


Miss mom's vegetables/fruits.


Miss the rice/mee/tea at home.



Miss the people.


Miss church.


In all, easy life at home.

Life is not easy.

Three days later and a new year comes.



Let's see how it goes.

Different Weekend...

I hopped on almost all public transportations in three days. Taxi, bus, LRT, Monorail, and KTM. Ah Sis (IngChan) and me brought dad and mom and bros to look around in KL.

IngChan and me always walked fast that we needed to stop for a while after we walked for some time to wait for them to catch up. This's obviously the difference of people living in a city and in a small town. I miss walking slow...Bros were so annoying, they kept bugging us to go back to the hotel after a little walking. The small one's forgivable but the big one isn't. Weak... >.<

IngChan's graduation's been great. It's simple and fast. It's delighting to see her getting the result that she's been working hard for. Everybody looked smart and cheerful. Her Jap teacher still recognized me, it's very sweet of her. We got a little problem communicating since she talked little English and I talked no Japanese.

Reluctantly, i attended the super boring APK seminar session which requires us to write a report on it. It's better off not come back and stay with my parents, but for the marks' sake, I was there.

We had a choir practice that afternoon. The seniors invited a tutor to teach us how to sing properly. I felt warm listening to a familiar Chinese slang, only then i realised that she's from Sarawak... ^ ^

We had MKC rehearsal last night. It's smoother than last time's. Although there were some mistakes, i believe we'll all fix it until the real day comes.

The drums came and here we are practicing with the real thing. I hope we can practice it well on time.

Now that my mom and dad went back to Sibu, i'm trying to switch my mood again from the moment of sad feeling seeing them waving goodbye in the bus to LCCT. Waving goodbye is always the saddest part of leaving, especially from someone you love. Sometimes i hope i'm cold blooded who feels nothing about sadness.

If only i can.

Tired.

Kazoku

Mom and Dad are coming to KL.

Big Bro and Small Bro are coming too.

Ah Sis is going to graduate from her course.

Yay i'm going to meet 'em in 22 hours...

I'm expecting a good (most probably tired...) weekend. (Excluding APK seminar and MKC thingy...)

Hope Ah Sis and me can be good tour guides...

CNY ~ yay?

While mom and sis were baking cakes...

While dad and mom went to visit gram...

While family is eating, nice food (food outside of college and campus're called nice food)...

While people're eating ice-cream...

While siblings're watching tv...

While people're just doing anything...

I WAS SLEEPING...

Several invitations declined...

Shopping trips missed...

What else?

Befriend with meds, sleeping mats, and yes, pyjamas...

...

Hope everything will be fine before CNY comes, really, there's only ONE day left... I WANT TO GO OUT!!!

In KL again...

I'm here in kl again. After eating laksa (the laksa's super tasty...i'll definitely go there again next time) and shopping with mom (finally she bought a set of new year clothes for herself...) on saturday, i rushed home to pack my luggage and off i went to the airport with my dad... Lucky this time not everyone comes to the airport or i'll feel sad-der leaving home. Or is it i'm eager to see my sister makes me less home-sick this time... i wonder...

I waited long for my luggage in the airport... it took at least 20 minutes standing there for the luggage to come in. Later i came back um with jie jie and jia sing via taxi. It's a lot faster then using skybus and lrt, while the price's a lot 'prettier' too.

I slept at kaichur's room for the night while my room's occupied by su yi and mei mei, pity them don't have rooms to stay... I wonder how the renovation going on... do they really need more than a month to do that?

I met my sister yesterday and we went to times square and midvalley to shop for her new year clothes. The result of a day's walking around's a new shirt bought by my sister and some stuffs i bought. I came back with ached foot and waist. Sigh... I love being together my sister though i'm the one who's always being bullied, she's the one who knows me better than anyone, aside from my mom. I'm going to find more time outing with her before she leaves for japan in April.

Ciao.

Before 30 years old

I've just finished reading Pastor Philip Mantofa's autograph, namely Before 30 Years Old. He is a person of great passion and commitment to God, having an intimate relationship to God, God uses him to bless so many people. The book talks about his journey of receiving God as his master and how he brings revival to churches in Indonesia and churches around Asia. He challenges Christians to give our lives fully to Lord Jesus which requires a great sacrifice.

Some quotes from the book:

"When you fail you plan, you plan to fail."

"If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first learn to respect his strength."

"My body, listen to me and follow my rules!"

Another quote i heard in church this morning, when Pastor Lau preached on how to become a true disciple for Christ:

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot give to gain that which he cannot lose" - Jim Elliot.

Pastor Lau said, "Being a disciple of Christ pays a price, however, not being a disciple of Christ pays a greater price."

It's time to pray~

Home

Last night there was a sister in pkv asking me where i come from. Overseas, i said. She looked at my with wide eyes. Sarawak, i said again.

"Wow you come from all the way there to study here in UM..."

"Yes"

"When was the last time you go back to your hometown?"

"Erm I've been here since late June when i came here to study."

She looked again at me with wide eyes.

"Do you miss home?"

"Quite"

For numerous time i've heard these questions, and i always (or mostly) give the same answer. People like to ask another question, "Did you cry when you first come here?". I didn't dare to answer this question, at first, i just laughed it off. Now, i will say yes. No longer do i feel shame of saying "yes". For some time i think i should be honest to myself, although sometimes i can feel my eyes wet when talking about what happens before and when i just came here. My roommate likes to say, "Lucky the college activities make us busy then i have no time to miss home." Well, it's quite true, though.

Now there're twenty days left for me to fly home and i'm very excited about it. What is in my mind now is not about the exam, but about what should i do, what i want my mom to cook when i go back home.

Yea, home...

Re: Human and Animal

I feel so touched after reading your latest post, human and animal. I hope you are feeling better now. You make me want to appreciate my family more, with my parents and grandparents' presence, my brothers and sister too. It's a whole and yet i was rebellious and disobedient. I realise that how blessed i am with them all around with me, though now i live far away, but i am still cared for. I can't imagine what is your emotional turmoil that you have been through, and i don't dare to imagine because it's so heart-piercing thinking of it. However one thing i know, it has make you stronger, stronger than anybody else. There are people impressed and amazed by your personality, your determination, and i'm one of them. You are not only a friend to me, you are so mother-like who really care for people from the bottom of your heart. I feel warm-hearted whenever i am with you. I believe it's the Lord's blessing to me to have you as a friend, i'm really thankful for that. I hope you can get through your sad feelings and become stronger. May God bless you. :D
