CUteeeeee

Awwwww..!! Facebook is definitely the best place to stalk people! The more fortunate is, today I bumped into a guy who is as CUte and Adorable as the main actor in Zettai Kareshi!!



The guy is 99% as similar as Hayami Mokomichi (as above) but from his photos I think he really looks better than that!! He's the same age as me and he's such a lovely cute face that I can't move my eyes from him for a while! It feels like I know him before, seriously!!!! hahaha... XD

And then and then from my friend I knew that he's an excellent student studying in KL. Surprisingly, the world is so small, because my friend knew him and from his profile there are some of my friends that he knew too!!! I must has met him before. Must  have.hmmmm.

Cute, obedient, adorable and clever. xxxxx
He looks best when he smiles. And then I can see his dimples.
Looking at him is like appreciating art, apart from Jerry Yan!!!

But but but but, the bad thing about him is, he is sooooooo thin!!! He's really a  typical Malaysian boy. Two dimension. Aw, are they all suffering from Hyper or hypothyroidism?? They seriously need Appeton Weight Gain!!! What if I fainted, how is he suppose to carry me to the nearest hospital?? I guess he has to dragg me along then!!! 

And the second bad thing is: He has a girl friend. The end. :(

Jay

Suddenly fell in love in Jay's music. I don't mean that I don't like him before, just that tonight I started to appreciate how he appear to be a talented guy in the people's eyes. He's a man demanding of perfection, and although I can't help thinking that his recent album is not as good as the old ones, I found out more and more of his specialness in the music style in his older songs, which he shows that he's really different from the artists from around the same era.



His love songs are especially nice and soothing to hear; No loudly banging music or over-depressive music, but a simple flow with the 4 or 2 beats played by drum instrument ( which makes the songs so nice and relaxing to hear!!! ) ~~ just like what i'm listening now: lan man shou ji, jian dan ai, and many moreee.

On top of that, he is the only one I know that can integrate Chinese instrumental playing into the music so perfectly that those songs emerge as famous pop songs with a sense of chinese traditional style. Just like dong feng po, qing hua ci, fa ru xue. A combination of the elegance of traditional instrument sound with the continuously flowing music and his voice which just simply integrate into one harmonious piece.

Am I a bit too late to realize his charm? haha..anyway, sit back and enjoy~~



P.S.: Btw, I really admired by Dudu's gengness!!! She can hum any song be it happy or sad song every day without being affected by the song itself!!! I can't do it, when I listen to sad song I just felt the pain of the singer or the MV. That's why I don;t tend to listen to bei cham song as it just makes me feel down! lol =P

Nah..after exam^^

Now I understand, beauties somehow also have their own problems. Problems dealing with all the butterflies and bumble bees flying around. You know, it is summer and bugs get active. hahaha. But everyone needs her own privacy, or else beauty will become the beast to beat the annoying bug with a..anything, racket or cricket. And then that's what we called in Chinese die under the stone dress of the girl. hahahahha~~

lalala~~ Today I have finally sat for the exam of the second subject -Human Physiology!!! Thanks especially to kenny and jackie, we have got enough exercise to do before we move to the exam hall. And it turns out to be okay for most of us. haha. And now, two down, and three more to go..which I least prepared! This is going to be a tough fight!!!

And ya, happy happy Birthday to my dear Gengwai!!! I'm sure the Mancunians have given her the best first birthday in the UK!! It always surprised me to see how well made the birthday card, and I have to admit that Mancunians are really creative ( as usual)!

Today I also discover how amazing my brain is - I was afraid that I was not able to finish revising the core lectures and so I set my alarm to 7 am in the morning. I slept and slept so soundly, and the next moment i open my eyes...Oh my!!!! The sky is a bit lighter and my alarm clock must be not working!!! I grab the alarm clock close to my face and read - OH my it is 630am and I have woke up!!! Good brain..but I decided to sleep till 830 am then. hahahaha.. after the exam, I slept for three hours till the evening to reward my brain!

Tonight's dinner: a Purplish porridge!!! Why purplish?? Ask the red cabbage from Yean. I was now desperately running out of vege and now have to survive on a small little broccoli donated by yean T.T Because we have to wait until Friday when the morning market opens then we  can go down shopping for food and groceries~~ haha. hmmm, dun worry, I still have a pekking duck rice from iceland. I will survive through the hardest time. XD Oh yeah, and we watch IP man 2 when we're eating!!! Personally think that IP man 2 is a bit fake ley...the real kung fu that IP man shows to beat the mat salleh, he could have shown it in the first round!!! But due to the demand of the audience, I guess the producer has to build up the emotions of the audience and save the best for the last! How easily our emotion can be altered by a song, a film or even some words said by the others. But more often or not, we tend to listen to our emotion and act according to it. That's why you will cry towards the end of the love movie because you must, as the director has put so much effort in building up your emotion to the peak!! haha..look like I have become a bit more analytical after watching Ajahn Brahm's talk.

The  exclammation marks and "haha" that I put  in my post, do they just cheer you up a bit after reading it??  haha..yes! I have successfully influenced your emotion!!! Anyway, it is not a waste of time reading it right?? I hope so!!!
lala, tomorrow I shall start my hard work seriously. The clock is ticking!! And I don't wanna die too early. haha. Night night!

暖暖

我有一个罗嗦的妈妈,她每次看到我就会开始她的马拉松赛跑:吃饱了没啊?吃什么来?几点吃?几时考试?考几科?昨天几点睡?等等等等的。有时我这个不孝女就会很不耐烦地回她:吃饱拉....就吃那个咯....刚才啦....5月18咯....5科.......

今天刚考完第一科试,便misscall 妈妈想和她聊天嘛,结果不久便收到了这封信息:
想起妈妈原本是不会打sms的,可是知道我要出国了,便心急着要我教她打字。我也只是短短地教了她一些步骤。今天看到她的信息,这么长!!!应该是打过的最长的了!
啊~~ 我的心竟是满满的温暖~~~

为了孩子,可以学自己从来不会的东西,可以做从没做过的事,可以事事都以他的立场和快乐着想,不尝试控制或改变他,这无私的爱的能力,是孩子给父母的礼物。也是我们孩子应该从父母身上学习的精神。

我相信天下的父母,都曾为孩子默默做过最令人感动的故事,也许有时候他们爱的方式和别人不一样,可是他们的心意绝对是最真的。我有一个罗嗦的妈妈,可是我好爱她喔!^^

Ship that never sink

Just remembered how amazing that one friend can link to another, coincidentally. Just like Gengwai and my another friend Ying Wei ( they added each other in fb although they don't know who the other is); Like Yean and my old friend Xian; Like I and Alvin whom I have never ever met before; Like Ikhur whom I just get to know after I have heard Yean mentioned of her not lower than a hundred times. And much much more..





And it is much much more amazing to see how blissful we are to have some truthful friends around. Mention the recent ones. Just like the time when we are almost frozed to death in an abandoned Scotland train station, the time we wait for the easy bus to come in an outdoor..we hug each other and make a very very close circle to warm each other up. We jumped and we talked craps to cheer each other up. We took care of each other to make sure that everyone can feel safe no matter how miserable the situation can be. And the other occassion, the moment we almost burst into tears when we're in the wrong airport. And because of Ikhur and meiren, we managed to get the train back home. And my old friend who always support me and never absent in giving me love and care every day although we're thousand miles away. Without you guys, what am I suppose to be doing when I'm facing all these alone? this is so unimaginable .I am such a forgetful person, as you know..so i can just think of a few recent ones which I should never forget.

Just now Yean suddenly called me and she was crying. I was @.@ and asked what happened! And she said..Gengwai has posted up a video about us~~ hmmm..finally!!! hehe..i heard about that weeks ago and finally she has successfully done it! It was a touching one..watching the video was like opening the hidden box filled with sweet memories~ Bravo gengwai!

Yean asked, whether we're going to have 4 years in the future having so many sweet memories like this. I said, yes! Just wanted to tell her, although I may be teasing her all the time, I heart her a lot. Every phase in life is a newpage to begin, and I hope with my presence along with the others, she will be filled with joy every day.

And to all the friends that we have known each other so well, I heart you all a lot. If i were given a chance, I hope I can give you all joy and happiness instead of seeking for joy and happiness from you guys. When you are sad and have something to share, I hope someone will be there for you, if he is not me.

The proverb says, every ship will sink except Friendship! Yeah I agreed! How bored I would be if I have nobody to crap with, no fb to comment, no rumours to gossip about and no blog to read. awwwwwww~~

This evening Jes stormed into my room and we suddenly thought of Taufu hua packets that Yunyi gave us last time! Although it is not that successful...it tastes really nice!
how can I try on such a hao liao if not yun yi gave me? Awww~~ friends you are all so sweet!
You are all my心肝宝贝!^_^

Shopping day


I just feel so much wanting to post something here today. So, pls don't get bored with what I have written.

Today is the release from my small little room after being stucked here for more than a week ( nah, actually I am not that bored, with FACEBOOK I can fly back and forth between Msia and UK and other places spiritually with my dead body on the desk). So, in the afternoon, I and yean hui planned to go to have a nice lunch in an Italian restaurant named Bottelino's, which is probably our Last meal in there...before the end of the term 2010. We asked our senior Wen yee and he joined us too. It was a good day. It rains just before we went out and when we're planning to get back. But it is sunny enough for us to shop in between.

Bottelino's offers really delicious pasta and pizza at a cheap price during lunch time. We had a pizza with an egg in the centre which made me "wow!!" like a kampung girl. It is really nice! and we finally sort out that the British Salami is just as salty as Chinese lap chiong. but of course, chinese lap chiong is much much much more better than the salami!

As we walk out of Bottelino's it seems like the sky has stopped raining but the sot sot dudu still have her leopard skin umbrella open. So wen yee laugh at her, and dudu said,"Carol, tell me exactly whether it has stopped raining!" Because she is under the umbrella and so need me this hamba to tell her. So i said honestly," Hmmm...there is still some very tiny bits of rain drops...just like when you talk to someone that people's saliva has spit to your face..". And they Burst into Laughters. =.=~

After lunch we went to shop for our friend's birthday present. We went to Body shop Lush Accessorize Thorntons along the High street and finally get a bar of chocolate as present. then we started our very formal food shopping of the day! Yeah! walk into iceland..nothing to buy. Then proceed to the marche..and then get some veges with some bargain. British sellers are as good as Chinese ones. Then the next stop Sainsbury. I got a Huge leek but yean said no. Alpen has discount! what a great news to the world! I have been monitoring the price for ages. Now have to grab two for my friend in Malaysia. Then myself, how can i resist from it?? XD Went over to the counter to ask for the medicine that my mom and relatives asked me to buy. Burnol plus, the name is not even in the book where they have Everything in. My gu  ma must be getting that cream from uk ages ago. aih. Can't help her.

So tonight...what's our dinner!??! it's tang yuan that i bought from Manchester~~ XOXO! at the start of cooking we thought that we might put some sweet potato into the sugar syrup that we cooked too. So...two in one-  tang yuan plus sweet potato. Ignore the colour, it tastes really good! (because who cooked it o) Jessica joined us and we watched some fb videos together while eating. then we watch the super funny McDull! I wonder who's the creator of this cartoon? it is really hilarious but its content is more for the adult rather than the children.
So..that's all. Now is amost the end of my day. I have told you it is long. hehe. Bye~

Virtual piano on pc keyboard

Today, as usual I had my dinner with Dudu. After we had finished eating, Dudu played her facebook a while and introduced to me one of her friends who emerged to be a new singer in Malaysia. Her friend had recently composed some songs and post on fb for opinions. Then out of nothing, I just shouted out "Why don't we just compose our songs too! " Dudu looked at me like @.@ and I said," Let's have Kenny to be the composer, I be the lyrics writer and you be the soprano singer!" *day dreaming again~*

Btw that's not the main point I wanna say here. And then I thought, is that possible to have something which enables us to compose music using mere pc keyboard?? Just like those we sometimes watch in the drama. And then dudu said maybe there is such a software. We try to google it and wow! There is actually free virtual piano for people to play piano for fun without needing the real instrument! Isn't that cool?? Although it needs practice to familiarise yourself with the synchronisation of the keyboard with the note u played and it is kind of hard to keep up with the tempo, this virtual piano gives the opportunity to distress yourself after hours of eye-straining study and explore your potential in composing songs. It even offers the music sheets for you to play and a button to record your playing. Somemore, there is a competition held not long ago where the contestents play the songs using the virtual keyboard!
This is really amazing! Have a try and those who are interested in composing songs, this might be a good website for them. :D
 This is the piece played by the winner of the competition. The song is To Zanarkand in Final Fantaxy x. ^^

母亲节与孝道

转眼间,一年一度的母亲节又来了。一直以为母亲节是本月的第二个星期(月中),却忘了五月二日是星期日,而明天就是一年一度的母亲节了。直到看见朋友在facebook上载的video,才赫然发现,就是明天。母亲的伟大,由古至今常被歌颂。现代许多人,每每看了许多动人的短片,内心十分感动,也十分懊悔,但是那颗孝顺的心,却常常提不起力量来,无法真正把握时机,在面对双亲时把心中的感激,化为爱语和行动。于是不了了之,平日依然爱在心里不说,常常让父母迁就自己,常常享受他们对自己的宠爱,加上偶尔对他们发发脾气。而我,就是这种人。再看回父母对自己的养育之恩,心中是一阵的感动和懊悔。但是,树欲静而风不止,子欲养而亲不在,虽然父母的心从来是不求回报的,但仔细想想,父母还有多少个十年去等待我去回报呢?

感恩,现在就要行动。感恩,不只是“我爱你”三个字。口里所说的“爱”和“孝”应该是有力量的,是身体力行的。您是怎么敬孝您的父母呢?这个母亲节,让我想起了古代几个印象深刻的故事:

1.       古代的故事
【原文】周老莱子,至孝,奉二亲,极其甘脆,行年七十,言不称老。常著五色斑斓之衣,为婴儿戏于亲侧。又尝取水上堂,诈跌卧地,作婴儿啼,以娱亲意。春秋时期有个隐士叫老莱子,他个性单纯而且非常孝顺。他非常敬爱年迈的父母,常常设身处地为他们着想。在照顾父母的起居饮食时更是无微不至,常供给他们甜美适口有易嚼的食物。父母年迈无法下田耕种了,他就白天下田干活,晚上陪父母谈天,待父母睡后,才自行温习功课。后来,老莱子的父母越渐年迈,也越感空虚。有一天,老莱子无意听到父母说喜欢他小时候的样子,他想自己都一把年纪了,怎样才能让父母开心呢?后来,他看见父母被嬉戏的小孩逗得开怀大笑,便灵机一动,穿上五色彩衣,唱着儿歌,像小小孩子一样,逗父母开心。有一次,他抬水时不小心被绊倒了,为了不让父母伤心,便装作没事,索性在地上学小孩大哭,弄得父母大笑。


2佛教故事
七月的盂兰盆节,是民间流传的鬼节,佛教对于“盂兰盆节”的提倡出自目连救母的故事。经典记载释迦牟尼佛的十大弟子之一目连成就神通后,欲度化父母,以报生养哺育之恩。他用天眼遍观三界六道,看到死去的母亲居然身堕地狱,转生为饿鬼(六道中的“饿鬼道”),腹大如鼓,咽小如针,想吃又吃不下,嘴里冒烟,不得饮食,饿得皮包骨头。目连非常难过,于是前往地狱探视,只见地狱一派凄惨景象:在此服罪的人,一天要经历万次生、万次死;或者是身陷刀山剑树,或者被铁犁耕舌,或者遭汁铜灌口,或者要吞热铁火丸,或者手抱铜柱,身体焦糊。还有牛头每日凌迟,狱卒终朝来拷;镬汤煎煮,痛苦难当.....为了解救母亲,目连施展神通,用钵盛了饭食去喂母亲,母亲一手持钵,一手遮掩不令旁见,悭贪之习依然如故,心量依然太小;上天罚她饭食未等入口,即化为火炭,无法进食。见此惨状,目连悲号泣涕,于是返身求佛救度。佛告诉目连,他母亲的罪孽实在太多,不是他一人就能救度的,必须联合众人的力量,才能有所成效。目连听佛陀说后,欢喜奉行,在七月十五日供养众僧以后,其母果然当天就脱离饿鬼之苦,离开地狱,投胎向王城为狗;再经过目接连铺设49天道场后,他的母亲才得以升天。目连很感激佛陀,四处赞叹三宝功德,奉劝世间应行盂兰盆之法,供佛及僧,以报父母生养抚育慈爱的恩惠。这就是佛教“盂兰盆会”或者叫“盂兰盆节”的由来。

3近代故事
宣化上人小时候自称非常任性,有时还不吃不喝,拼命地哭,令父母没办法。后来在十二岁那年,目睹一具婴尸,激发他出家修行的意愿。在请求母亲的准许后,他非常欢喜。当时的她,反省自己过去做了不知多少不知孝顺父母的事。左想右想,他决定为父母叩头,表示忏悔。他的父母知道后无法做什么,于是便接受他的愿心,让他早晚向父母三叩头,多年来风雨不改,无论刮风下雨,照叩不误。就是在冬天下大雪,也是在院中叩头。这样叩了几年,母亲故去,他在母墓守孝三年,仍然在叩头。守孝期满,终于如愿出家,研究佛教经典。

世上还有许多感人的孝顺的故事。也许现在无法如古代圣贤般,但是他们的精神是值得我们去学习的。父母恩重难报,别等待明天了,让我们今天就诚心地敬养,孝顺父母吧。=)
